[Audyssey] audio_drama_about_bob

2016-04-27 Thread Phil Vlasak 

Hi Folks,
I noticed an audio_drama_about_bob on the
AudioGames.net Forum by Aaron. It was fantastic.
Here is what he said:
Some of you wanted an audio version of Dark's story.
Well, I had nothing else to do today so in the space of a few hours, I 
created this audio version with music and sounds, it's voiced by a synth but 
I hope
you still enjoy it. Also, it would be really funny if someone else makes 
another version because the text story is here on this topic.

http://aaron.tdrealms.com/audio/audio_d . ut_bob.ogg

So I did one too.

http://www.pcs-games.net/bob.mp3

Here is the text by Dark.
Okay, lets keep this short and sweet.
Once upon a time there was a website that got updated,  the end!

Oh? what's wrong with that? Oh yes, I forgot all good stories need

characters and conflict and plot, and also dinosaurs, and alien

invasions, and hoards
of zombies, and neuclear apocalypses, and killer robots, and big

explosions, and  evil gods rising from the dark unknown for world

domination.

Okay, lets try that again.

Once upon a time there was a website called Bob (there, characters!),

who was being updated when suddenly an alien attack fleet lead by

commander convenience
from the planet conflict (there you see, that is clever, it's called

meta fiction, see clever clever!). Anyway, the aliens then decimated

most of the worlds'
population, however a small band of heroes managed to smuggle an old

ex soviet era warhead onto their ship which exploded.
This was fine, accept the radiation from the exploding ship caused a

zombie plague which produced a hoard of flesh eating undead that lived

on people's
brains.
Then, Doctor plot device (again, see the clever?), suddenly realized

that dinosaurs had such big brains it'd take the zombies far too long

to eat one,
so they could be used as zombie bate to lure the undead into

convenient locations where the specially designed robot shock troops

could eliminate them
with their zombie death killing rays of extreme zombie destruction.
This plan worked, however what nobody realized was that the hole

sequence of events was really the design of a dark god called dark,

who was actually writing
all this rubbish down in a story just about site updates and had

finally got utterly sick of the hole thing so randomly desired to

destroy the world for
some reason,  well just because, you know, destroying the world is

a totally unexpected ending.
And so everybody lived happily ever after, if by happily you mean

obliviously, and if by ever after you mean the space of about two

seconds until Dark's
evil power of evil made the world explode and everything went boom!

Then however Dark felt a little sorry for this, since humanity really

isn't all that bad and just decided that it'd all been a joke anyhow,

and the planet earth popped back into existence as if none of this had

ever happened but with one small change to reality,  that website

called Bob I mentioned a
while ago, well it got updated, - ha!

Well the moral of this story is, don't try to write coherently at

three in the morning, though at least I can leave everyone with some

updates.

Re: [Audyssey] KODP?

Hi Tobias.

I'd actually recommend an Ipod for that, there are lots of really great 
games out for Ios.
i'll confess that while I have found multiple really handy things my Iphone 
does such as satnav maps, siri, number storing etc, I bought it primarily 
for games and haven't regretted sinse.


All the best,

Dark.

It's aparantly accessible on the IOS platform. It's also available for 
Android, but not yet accessible on that platform, unfortunately for us 
droiders. I'm on the verge on getting an Ipod just to use it as a gaming 
console.


HTH,
Tobias

Hi.

King of dragon pass is for Ios.
There was a pc version back in the early 2000's, but it is entirely 
inaccessible. An android port is being developed but I'm not sure on it's 
accessibility (I know people have contacted the developers but I don't 
believe anything came of it), so thus far it's probably just out on Ios.


I'd highly recommend it though, it's a truly awesome game and a very unique 
experience.


All the best,

dark.

Re: [Audyssey] For those using Dropbox on older computers

2016-04-27 Thread Shaun Everiss 
You know I really wouldn't mind getting some interface chooser, and 
choosing your interface like a shell you would run over your windows core.
It would mean those that wanted a windows 7 full interface could 
continue to use it and those that wanted xp and older could use the same 
interface while insuring the engine worked as before.
Ofcause you would loose some features but you could switch to whatever 
you wanted on the fly like in linux with different terminals.

This message demonstrates your lack of practical knowledge of the field
quite plainly.
Xp was abandoned for numerous valid reasons, and just because you think its
stable doesn't necessarily mean its fit for service for even most users, let
alone business or government settings.
I have a windows 98 machine. It works great, as such things go. Its got
office, JFW7, USB drivers (though that took some work), and runs like a
charm. I could even use it to get some work done, were I so inclined.
Unfortunately, if I connect that machine to the internet, it would be pretty
much instantly infected with all kinds of viruses and other nasty software,
because, quite simply, windows 98 is, and has been, insecure for a
tremendously long period of time.
The exact same principle applies to xp. Just because windows xp is capable
of running a particular piece of software, does not mean that its capable of
doing it in a fashion that the vast majority of computer users would
consider proper. Furthermore, windows xp lacks support for more modern
hardware configurations (you're most likely limited to 3.2gb of ram, for
example, whereas this 2011 laptop I'm writing on right now has 8, and the
numbers are only rising).
Windows xp was abandoned because it is incapable of moving forward into the
future of computers, and newer operating systems are. It was abandoned
because there's only so many times you can patch up a leak or rig a damaged
engine before it gives up completely.
This is not the first time this issue has come up on list, and every time,
we receive the exact same responses. Before you post next time, please do
some research of your own so you don't come across as utterly clueless about
the subjects you're discussing. If you can provide some evidence to back up
your points, you might make headway in convincing the rest of us. As it is
however, you're ranting does nothing but make you look foolish.

The only reason it isn't supported is because Microsoft quit supporting it.
Otherwise, it would still be a stable and reliable platform for those who
must rely on screen readers.

Well to be honest xp is unsupported, it may be good for olderoffline use
and some older programs.
But xp will continue until it is not viable for others to use or develop it.
Its not safe really to run xp on the net or any network anymore anyway.
So even if you are a heavy xp user you will need a modern something to
continue to use it via clients.

Hi all,

As some people use Dropbox for sharing betas and other game related things
I
felt this was relevant to the list. Over the summer Dropbox will be ending
desktop support for Windows XP computers. On June 26, you will no longer
be
able to download the desktop app on windows xp or create an account with
it.
Then, on August 29, Dropbox will sign all XP users out of the desktop app
and they will no longer be able to sign in from that system. The account
will still be accessible from the online site or other devices.

Here is the page on dropbox.com with more info:
