I didn’t beat the game yet but I thought I’d post Mega Man 2 glitching on my Ipod Touch. Metal Man got stuck at the top. This was the first real glitch otherwise it’s played alright so far. Don’t you love his silly dancing?
Jesse Schell is a professor of entertainment and technology at Carnegie-Mellon and former
Disney Imagineer.
In this lecture he gives you his ideas on the future. They include unlocking achievements
and gaining experience points for brushing your teeth, getting to work on time,
and reading your 500th novel.
What he has to say about the future terrifies me but he seems to think it could perhaps
lead to a greater good.
What do you think?
No this is not news of an unreleased horror feature….It’s a bit of New York centric geek news. I know…I’m surprised too!
Growing up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn I occasionally used to visit the Sheepshead Bay area (which isn’t too far away,) mostly to see a movie with my folks or buddies of mine. Once in a while I’d go there to get some food but once I reached college the place kinda skeeved me out.
More often than not people went there to get on a boat that would take you further out to sea for fishing. In recent years it’s become haven for a bunch of shoddy restaurants and randoms stores that have shut down or reopened alongside weird rinky dink mini malls and the odd assortment of strange homes.
Strange homes indeed….in fact one of them used to belong to legendary Illustrator and Animator extraordinaire Winsor McCay. Winsor McCay created “Little Nemo in Slumberland,” and also “Gertie the Dinosaur.”
His home still stands in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn though it’s a shadow of it’s former self. Squating tenants, Bedbugs, Drugs and other general nastiness have taken refuge in this once beautiful home. Hence the new title.
This article over at Sheepshead Bites tells you more.
Another awesome tidbit: The home is on Voorhies Avenue. Like Jason Voorhees…it’s spelled slightly differently but it’s still kinda creepy.
We just recorded a great episode where a bunch of our listeners called in sharing
their stories, questions and advice on geek love. Thanks to them, we had a
great time.
We’re going to be editing it this weekend, so that when Valentine’s Day rolls around
you have a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ to listen to while you cozy up together with your geeky dates.
…Don’t worry, it’s not Ghostbusters 2. We swear it’s better. Plus, no Yanoosh.
Thanks again to our listeners for calling in and making this record such a good time!
Yo yo peeps,
Feb. 11th Thursday night @ 9:30pm we’re recording Macking for Geeks part 2: Mack Harder
and we’re hoping YOU…yes YOU…can be a part of it.
Between the hours of 9:30 and 11 give us a call at 1-718-303-2193 to tell us your stories of geek love lost & found.
If you call in and the call doesn’t get through, don’t get discouraged; try again 5 mins later and we’ll pick up your call!
Until then, you can join the discussion on Facebook.
Do you love big hair and shoulder pads? Or is flannel and ripped jeans more your style?
In this episode we pit our two favorite decades against each other in four categories- Audio, Visual, Playable, and Overall. Who will you root for?
There can only be one!
