We're also going to do a mini-panel on Heiankyo Alien at MGC. That's right, baby.
maybe a live-listen to the cassette?

It's been vaguely discussed but the challenge is in tricking him to come into that little room with us
Amazon has the Hama GI joe comics in hardback collections, I got the first collection this past christmas. I'm trying to remember when the story falls off a cliff, probably after the fall of Cobra Island. By then interest in the toy line and cartoon were waning.I listened to the GI Joe episode today. I learned a lot about the comics and Larry Hama that I didn't know back in the day. I'd like to track the comics down and read them at some point now. I was mostly into the toys and cartoon. I impulse bought a Firefly off ebay a couple years ago. He's still kicking it by my consoles. I asked for the USS Flagg for like 5 straight Christmases, but like most everyone else I never got it, lol. My older brother still has all his figures in separate zip lock bags with their weapons in a trunk somewhere in his house.
Video game wise though, no talk of Attack on Cobra Island? I'm pretty new to the podcast so maybe you only talk about officially licensed games.
Edit, also who does the file icon art? Loved the GI Joe one and now the Double Dragon one too.
Cool, thanks!Amazon has the Hama GI joe comics in hardback collections, I got the first collection this past christmas. I'm trying to remember when the story falls off a cliff, probably after the fall of Cobra Island. By then interest in the toy line and cartoon were waning.
Bah!BTW, before anyone dives into those hardcover GI Joe collections, the 9th volume has been delayed/MIA for more than two years. Doesn't seem like they'll ever complete the set.
I have three huge boxes containing 1000 DVDs in my office, so EVERYBODY gets a DVD.
I'm still not sure I've seen hype and marketing for a game that exceeded what was there for FF7.
I mean I remember getting on a bus, where the entire bus was wrapped in a giant cloud FF7 advertisement, and every ad panel on the inside was FF7. That's just nuts.
I actually wanted an episode centered around the Touhou games...but then wondered who would be their guest speakers would be...If so, I've wanted nothing more than for Retronauts to cover the Buffy the Vampire Slayer games since the 1UP days.
Best podcast ever tbh. Only video game related pod I listen to at this point. JeremyParish thank you so much dude for creating Retronauts. I'd buy you all the Frank + Oak threads if I could afford them.
You can! But we have episodes planned way the hell far out so I'm afraid we only take requests from patrons.
Ah, understandable. I'm actually a Patreon member of Retronauts so I was wondering where I should submit my suggestions.You can! But we have episodes planned way the hell far out so I'm afraid we only take requests from patrons.
1. Isometric Projection
We position the object in such a way that, all side are equally distant from the axes and axes have a command angle of 120º between each.
2. Diametric Projection
Like Isometric, but only the axes of object is only equidistant from two standard axes, and there is a 120º angle between those axes
3. Trimetric Projection
Well, the simple explanation would be all axes will be unequally spaced, and depending upon the angle of viewing, the angle between the object's axes are determined. An image of all the three together will help you better understand trimetric projection.
Oblique Projection
It is the next sub-type of parallel projection. Here the governing concept is that the rays are not perpendicular to the plane on which we do projection. It is normally used for pictorial representation than for formal purposes.
Cavalier & Cabinet Projections
Cavalier projection or Cabinet projection is probably one you have seen in your schools when the teacher tries to explain 3d geometry. Well in both the cases, there are two axes that will be mutually perpendicular to each other, as shown in the figure. And they will be drawn at a 1:1 scale.
The difference between these to projections are the angle they make with the projection plane. It is 45º with projection plane for Cavalier projection. While cabinet projection makes 63.4º.
Since he was a Retronauts guest, I'll ask here in lieu of a better place: whatever happened to the Chrontendo and Chronsega videos?
Nice, good to know! I picked up a WSC just recently (hat tip/shake of the fist to Kelsey Lewin's panel on Gunpei at magfest :P ) and was really impressed at how paranoid-ly secure the battery compartment is. Makes sense, considering how crucial that part is.Really enjoyed this weeks episode on hardware design. Can't wait until we find out what special type of plastic Pikachu was on those hideous N64's!
Also, I have the answer to a question that was asked on the podcast:
They are interchangeable between all 3 models(B&W, Color, Crystal) as well which is why this pic was possible.
This is from a bit ago, but: Becky, not Betty. Agreed it was a good episode :)burger betty episode was great. Really good tech stuff that I feel like a retro enthusiast could understand. Loved the code names being the default slip of the tongue, also the game boy was the 'z80"
I'm def more on the side of game design, but the tech is so important.....
and Betty liked Sierra Games!
