Gallery: Intro
While sleeping at such a rate that at one time I went to sleep on a Tuesday and woke up on a Friday (with blurry memories of having sleepwalked to the kitchen for nourishment a few times in between), I also went through a SLASH'EM binge, playing and getting killed dozens of times as a vampiric necromancer, which resulted in some insights that have been spliced into the now lengthy list of tips on the Nethack page. Both Oberon Media and Acer Gamezone have changed their names, so that has been updated on the links page, puzzles section. I've redeemed some demos from Oberon games and bought more, adding info to what I'll continue to call the Oberon Media games page, and the title lists are now in table of contents, for easier finding and less scrolling.
Similarly, the tomato pic pages are now linked to both an index and each other. Pictures have been added of the seed packets for the easy-to-get-confused Russian orange and yellow beefsteaks, and of the "Tiny" Tim. Albert Heyn tried, and failed, to put another tasty tomato on the shelves; it has been added to the bottom of the tomato mix page. Tomato site and seed seller links have been updated. A USB stick has been added to the USB page. At the bottom of a box of computer games, I found the damaged old notebook of which pictures were missing on the laptop page; they have been added.
As I draw closer to the goal of getting a virtual machine to run MS-DOS and
older Windowses on my laptop, the list of game
addictions has already been extended with placeholders for adventure and
simulation games, and the only biofeedback game I know. Looking around for
existing installations of some of these games, I made a screencap each of older
game versions for the SameGame and Sokoban pages.
What do you get when you mix dinosaurs and old-world British humour? The Lost World is not a comedy, but with two driven scientists, a safari-going aristocrat, a young journalist on his first big assignment and a jungle-wise girl to look after them, it's surprisingly entertaining. (Click on the graphics to hear the quote.)
How being chased by a dinosaur can resemble the chase scene in a Bugs Bunny cartoon:
After climbing out of the trap in which the journalist, the girl and the dinosaur have fallen, killing the latter, the journalist reacts as only a British gentleman can.
If you can hear it over the howling apes and shouting natives: Professor Challenger shows what a forgiving breed scientists are (to anything that is a rare species) when explaining to Lord Roxton why he refuses to let anyone kill the hominids that captured him earlier.
