Saul Williams review and something less heady (but more Scottish)

[scottwoods]

I do articles and reviews for various platforms, and figured I'd share one about poetry...

So. Scott.

Can I steal the Saul Williams review for Word Street?

[scottwoods]

If steal means publish with my name on it, just send me a link and it's yours.

If it means something else, we'll have to arm wrestle over it.

Ever yours, Victor.

[ocvictor]

Definitely publish with your name on it. (Although I'm a mean thumb wrestler!)

I'll let you know when things move.

How do they handle the two-joystick controls of Robotron 2084 and Smash TV?

[scottwoods]

You can use either the buttons or the thumbsticks.
I use the buttons. I need my thumbs for writing.

MAME

MAME is avaialble, and is like the napster of video games. Plays everything that came out before 1999 pretty much, and you can go on Kazaa or Limewire and download all the games free.

....it's also known as abandonware, because the people like IKEM and Taito barely exist any more and can't really profit from this age old stuff. Easy to use, fun to play, and you have plausible deniablility.

What could be better?

Um, actually knowing how to download any of this stuff you're talking about. And if they got a Zookeeper game, I'm totally going to figure out how to do this.

[genuinechris]

yeah, they got the zookeeper game. get on limewire (www.limewire.com)and do a search for MAME, ROMS and EMULATOR, pull down what's promising.
