Confirmed: Pen-Pen put the fish in the percolator

Some kind of "Line of Sight" would be required, but I'm not sure how you could code that in something like MPAGD. Hmmm.

Don't mind me, just thinking out loud lol

YouTube video by -MODERN-RETRO-GAMING- In the Walls of Eryx (2016) Walkthrough, ZX Spectrum

*by "code" I mean plan in my head regardless of the programming language used. I'm picturing the green enemy in this 1st clip below until it hits an obstacle, then the code changes to that of the cogs in the 2nd clip. And then my mind goes blank.

Trying to code* a homing enemy that doesn't get stuck behind walls. So basically the usual...
IF MOB IS RIGHT OF THE PLAYER
MOVE MOB LEFT
...but with pathfinding round obstacles.

Surely there's a standard logic to a mob as common as this?

I was offered a "cheeky wee line" on Friday night.
Said naw.
Then I was offered a back crack.
I said naw.
Then I was offered a pair of 40 year old Doc Martens (unseen).
I said naw.
Same guy. Off his tits. Seemed nice though.

The Leopard Man lived on the Isle of Skye. He sadly passed away in 2016. There's an opening for you to become a new cryptid.

This feels very relevant to Scottish comic creators selling internationally - a survey to explore the possibility of setting up a Cultural Export Service scotland.britishcouncil.org/Cultural-Exp...

Appreciate the struggle in having to stare at that face for long enough to draw it.

That banana must have been a bundle of nerves, had a nice wee holiday travelling to your country, and now it faces the horror of being devoured by multi-limbed god-like entities (humans).

Saw this cosplay a while ago of a male Storm, I believe he called himself Maelstrom. Thought that was a fucking amazing name.

Better than the French I suppose, they apparently view Kevin with the same disdain as the UK views kids named after Disney characters, as kids born with the name Kevin had an uptick when Home Alone was released in France.

New badge drop for my new battlejacket (bands) and my old one (horror).

SCOTLAND! 1996 Scotland to be precise, this has made me want a PS5.

Although someone using guns in Scotland in 1996 is a bit...hmmm. I wonder how they'll treat that.

I was planning on going into FPGlasgow tomorrow to buy it, so to see this post pop up in my socials is serendipitous: TTotD is one of my favourite HPL stories*, and has arguably the greatest opening line in horror. Looking forward to it!

*it competes with Haunter of the Dark for my affections

My pal and fellow Scottish developer Chris Brown recently put his solo-dev racing game AGX GP up on Steam and you should definitely give it a look if you like AAA Wipeout visuals with ridiculously-fast twitch arcade gameplay. store.steampowered.com/app/4250680/...

Question for the UK old-school arcade users/owners: does anyone know of any arcades that have a NewZealand Story cabinet? The only one I know if is the...Leeds? Bury? arcade, and using public transport from Glasgow to there is an arse.
Just want to set a World Record high score.

Think I've just discovered my "Mandela Effect": I was positive I first saw Limp Bizkit's "Nookie" on ITV's late-night rock show "Noisy Mothers", which would have placed it about 1993/94, nope, it was released in 1999. Well that's my day ruined (not really).

People of the #UK !
Check your rooftops, and your neighbours', if you think you can get away with it.
As seen in our latest issue, the ZX Load museum is on the lookout for one of these Cambridge square satellite dishes, as modelled here by the lovely Clive.
Have you spotted one? Let us know.

Don't know if I ever posted this on "the other site", but here's footage of a demo I made for a "Point Blank" style game in AGD. Makes me wonder; If Savage Princess was inspired by Super Robin Hood, could Savage Princess 3 be inspired by Ghost Hunters?

It's mind-blowing to think that the Megadrive was at one point competing against 8 year old hardware like the ZX Spectrum. Obviously one had a larger user-base and was rapidly dying off, and the other was on the rise, but the juxtaposition of the two generations is more jarring than the PS4 and PS5.

When ever I see UK retrogaming history being rewritten by more US dominated media, I'm always posting this ELSPA 1991 game sales chart; Sega was king of the consoles, but even then it still couldn't compete with the home micros.

Nick has opened the submarine hatch to find himself inside the Ailsa Craig.

Nice big splash page for episode #531, it's a bit later than scheduled as I'm using Blender for the environments. It hopefully won't take long to make new strips.

Time to kick off a (year-long) commemoration of one of THE OLDEST video games known to history! 🎊

It’s “Bouncing Ball” — a candidate for the first-ever video game — celebrating its (75th) Diamond Anniversary this year!

I made Keezees merch. Dunno how much to sell it for. Or even if anyone would be interested in it.

Yes, I've just found it by happenstance and I will continue to use it from now on.

HEY! YOU! Have you set part of your game/comic/film onboard a WW2 submarine and are struggling to use the correct vernacular? Why don't you use the navy book on Standard Submarine Phraseology to help you write your scripts? You COULD pay £/$10 to buy a physical copy, ooooooooor...

Nick is astonished at the amount of money Diana has just paid Joe, the captain of the submarine, for providing safe passage to...wherever they are.

Episode #529 of Keezees is up!
