Let’s Bii Wii Friends?

Can’t sleep, but here…

DOSBox

I have been having an itch for DOS games. The old point-and-click/text adventures like Monkey Island, Quest series, Discworld, Leisure Suit Larry, and so on. I grew up with these games, especially the King’s Quest, Space Quest, and Police Quest series.  I had downloaded Monkey Island 4 for Mac, but unfortunately since I have Leopard installed, Classic mode no longer runs, so I kinda screwed myself over with that until I decide to downgrade to Tiger again.

So… I downloaded DOSBox which is a DOS emulator for all you Abandonware lovers. It works perfect actually, sound and graphic quality. Not too long ago I was playing Teen Agent.

It’s great really. I’ve been downloading a lot of games since I got it. I’m kinda in the mood for old school I guess. I can’t wait to get my hands on Discworld. I love that game.

So, if you’re into Abandonware and you own a Mac, I suggest downloading this besides going through SheepShaver, etc (unless your game can only run on Mac).

Anyway, yeah, lol… I’m happy.

Cynical Sticks

To any of you who know, I have this great deal of sarcasm. It’s a joking sarcasm where I’m never serious unless I’m aggravated. I would usually give a blank stare and go back to what I’m doing.

While I was at work yesterday, bored out of my mind initially after getting my software installed AND working (thank God!) I started drawing a stick figure that somewhat resembled me. Then I ended up drawing to stick figures sitting at a table together. I’m on my laptop and the other guy is talking to me, supposedly a friend.

Then, last night, I started messing around with the scenario thinking about what the dialogue would be. I typed one sentence for the guy, like “hi” and left my side blank. I realized how I figured out how I was going to do it. Adam and Carey thought it was funny because it fit who I was: silently sarcastic.

So, I think about doing one a day, or one every time I blog. It’s always going to be the same panel same to people, same setting, although I might change it up here and there. And mind you, this whole comic was born out of an inside joke, hence the title “Cynical Sticks” so it’s okay if you don’t find them funny. Lol. I don’t care.
