Me estoy escuchando todas las versiones habidas y por haber de The Ecstasy of Gold, de Ennio Morricone, que me emociona mucho. Esta versión está muy bien pero, ¿por qué el director está disfrazado de Neo? www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYo_...

The Asterix franchise is where I spent much of my early career, both composing and coding the music (and drawing sprites for the first ones). As a lifelong fan of the comics, it was a deeply rewarding experience - especially the time I spent crafting the soundtrack for the SNES version.

I'm working on an update for l'Abbaye des Morts (2010).
I don't want to change much because this game is intended to be super raw technically and it's a classic with tons of editions for retro systems. But I feel that a couple of tweaks could make it more enjoyable.

I couldn’t resist buying a cheap ZX Spectrum 48k (issue 2, again). As expected, it didn’t work, but fortunately it only had one faulty transistor (TR4, of course) and I managed to fix it with my last ZTX 651 replacement. Also it needs a new membrane for the keyboard. Welcome home!

I bought the new Metroid today with excitement, but as soon as I held it in my hands, a feeling of sadness washed over me. First, because of the cover with so much text unrelated to the game, and then because of the weightless box, which barely retains its shape. What it is and what it once was...

Llevaba meses sufriendo pantallazos azules ocasionales, corrupciones gráficas en explorer y algún proyecto roto sin saber por qué... Finalmente decidí probar a fondo la RAM y uno de los módulos de 16GB fallaba. Siento como si le hubiera extirpado un tumor a mi PC.

El pasado domingo visité una interesante exposición sobre el centenario del metro de Barcelona, con trenes de 1924, 1926, 1958, 1974 y 1986. Algunos carteles en el interior nos recuerdan cómo fuimos y cómo vivimos... Conviene no olvidarlo.
