The Slow Day Update 03 Oct, 2002 / Comments: 26


As you can see, we're dragging along today with little to no news, and we hate it. If you know of anything interesting happening out and about online, please leave a comment about it. I don't think we care all that much if it's a LucasArts related thing at all - just entertaining - though a little Lucas wouldn't hurt.

    Gabez is a newspaper that can communicate with your robotic dog! It can play chess and can be used as a metal detector.

    I thought this article concerning Factor 5's use of DivX for Gamecube games was pretty interesting.

    Also, shameless plug: Play Pitfall! online or a CMI Card Game, weee!

    Kingzjester is a piece of string! It always points to magnetic north!

    *My real name* is a microwave that plays Sokoban!

    Church of Tim is a security camera that's covered with realistic fur! It walks on three mechanical legs and costs less than ?20.

    backfire killed the sly is a business card that cures all know illnesses! It speaks randomly-generated sentences.
    Well, shit -- they figured out how I plan to make that game...

    "Bobo Donkey? is a video recorder that dissolves dirt, can extinguish fires and turns your lights on and off."

    Incredible!

    "The International House of Mojo is a cufflink that's made of solid gold!"

    But if you think thats wierd this is what it said about spaff:

    "Spaff is a newly-discovered breed of fish that stretches to twice its original size and removes stubborn stains."

    "Haggis is a CD-rom that looks bigger than it really is! It provides an RSS feed and detects explosives."
    And I thought mother was lying when she said I was talented.

    I had an e-mail from Double Fine. I e-mailed them when P!nk topped the chart in the UK, and they replied with this: "Really? I think she is touring the UK in November. If you go, could you tell her I said hi please? And, oh-could you ask her if the yellow sweater we found here at the office is hers maybe? Not that she's ever been here, but it could have blown out of her car or something. Thanks, Info Cow"

    I've been working on a little pirate webcomic with my friend using MI and other LucasArt games backgrounds with edited, quality edited Techno's sprites (such as River City Ransom). Check it out at http://comic.lardpirates.com/
