This has been a good reminder to rewatch Micallef Tonight (pictured) and Newstopia

Doing my bit for international relations

A few days ago I released a patch which replaces the unhinged movement system in Tex Murphy: Under A Killing Moon with mouselook + WASD. Turns out the sequel is pretty much the same, so here's a mod for The Pandora Directive.

I got sick of the bonkers control scheme in Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon and patched in mouselook + WASD.

Today I learned about "The Quest", a formerly lost CD from 1995 produced by Kidsoft and animated by Cartoon Network Studios. I don't know what the brief was, but for some reason the intro is full of... Myst jokes? Was this meant to be a little something for the adults?

I spent some time fixing this series to run in ScummVM. First time I've ever seen these games and the cursed frog might stay with me for life

A curse on you, real hardware!!! Damn you all to hell

On the bright side, I -finally- managed to fix the timer code in my DOS adventure game engine, so the system timer can run at 16KHz (without crashing!) instead of the miserly DOS default of 18.2Hz. Which is fast enough to abuse the PC speaker to play back sampled audio.
