A time capsule shot into space back in 1982 is received as a declaration of war by aliens, who respond with multiple waves of 1980s video games-made-real, which only lifetime-loser video game nerds can face.
Uh. From the ground up, this movie cannot work. It’s a kids movie which relies upon the nostalgia only a handful of middle-aged men might have but hopefully won’t.

The Wizard – (1989 movie). No.. actually don’t.
I was going to do this big post on Minecraft, explaining what it is and why everyone should be playing it. But I haven’t been in the writing mood, and only the playing mood, so I’ve only collected a lot of notes.

I was never a “Vanilla WoW” player, and so I never got to see the vast majority of the raiding at that level. I sortof saw patches of stuff, and I even got to wipe on a world dragon a few times.

Commodore 64 + Music > Commodore SID >
All information should be free from restriction and immortal, and this applies to music; the one thing which any everyday person is most enthusiastic about. We want to find and share it. But most importantly, we want to keep it alive .
Imagine finding your favourite artist and your favourite song. Then imagine it being lost, unavailable.. forever. The song itself may become a vague memory in time, but there will always be that sadness in you. With regular software or other media there is the occasional archivist who will collect and catalog things.
With music, everyone becomes an archivist .
