Only the older generation will recognize this one. Beach-Head, published in 1983 by Access Software, is one of the tougher C64 games I have played back in the day. I was 8 or 9 when I first gave it a shot, so maybe that was part of the reason...

Happy birthday, Bubble Bobble! It was released exactly 40 years ago today, on June 16, 1986. The arcade version was absolutely brilliant, being one of the first games to have a coop-multiplayer option. It was also one of the the most ported arcade games in history, with over 20 ports to home computers and consoles, including even the legendary TI-84 Plus (primarily a calculator). The port that got the highest praise and came closest to the original arcade experience was the C64 version. Excellent graphics, one of the most recognizable tunes , and great gameplay make Bubble Bobble a timeless classic. My brother and I played the crap out of this one back in the day, and we still load it up on my old C64 when he comes for a visit. It's like riding a bike, you never forget how to play Bubble Bobble.

To this day, even 37 years later, the game I associate the most with the Psygnosis logo is Shadow of the Beast. The game itself was fascinating - in the sense that graphics and sound were both perfect 10s, while gameplay was a 3 at best. Maybe I am being a bit harsh, but I think we can all agree that there was a massive gap between how it looked/sounded and how it played. And yet its burned into my memory forever and certainly has its place in gaming history. Psygnosis published around 100 games, but that logo will always give me Shadow of the Beast vibes.

My nephew was browsing through the shelves in my gaming room and asked where I keep the "older games that I played when I was his age" (he's 14 now). I showed him the section from the early 80s. Obviously, he didn't recognize a single game (making me feel quite old, haha), but for some reason Lode Runner caught his attention. I said that it's not a "pretty" game in terms of graphics or sound, but that it was one of my favorites back then. We loaded it up, I showed him for about 2 minutes what to do, and we ended up playing it for almost 3 hours. It made me happy for many reasons, but most of all grateful to see that these old games - despite their shortcomings in graphics and sound - can still fascinate even younger generations. Lode Runner by Brøderbund (1983), a truly timeless gem.

This was one of the first songs that was written for the album with Jackson Phillips, who produced a lot of it. At the start, candidly, I'd just write and see what intuitively would come out. I wrote the first verse on my birthday. One of my best friends gave me a painting and it said "Sun behind the sun." I thought that was beautiful, so I based the whole verse around that. We had a few versions of that song in particular and it was missing a part for me. One day, I sat outside and the whole chorus came to me. It became like the conversations that you still have after someone or something has passed. It becomes a form of communicating still. As I get older, it goes all the way back to square one simplicity for me. What do I love? Who do I love? What do I cherish? Who do I cherish? It's that simple for me. This is I Wanted To Stay #ORDERchaosORDER

Keria: “After it ended, I went back and reviewed it, you know? The previous matches, and even some of the other teams’ games too. I went over it all in my head a bit like, how the other teams played. And in the end, my conclusion was that IG was insanely tough."

One of the best early 80s games ever is Choplifter, from 1982, developed by Dan Gorlin and published by Broderbund. It also became one of the best selling games ever for the Apple II. I first saw and played this at a friend's house. We had a handrittwen "Highscore" list that we updated over several months, signed by all players present when we played it. One simple rule was that highscores only counted when at least one other person was present and signed it off. I wished that list didn't get lost in time. Early 80s gaming included so many things that don't exist anymore today... handwritten high score lists, drawn dungeon maps, and level codes.

Chris Camillo says AI is accelerating so fast that going to school might not be worth it anymore "One of my kids is 16 years old and he drives himself to school, and one day he slept in and I was so astonished. I was like, how is that even possible? If I would have done that as a kid, the thought of what my parents would have done to me" "But there was a part of me in the back of my head, does it even matter anymore? I'm looking at my kid going to school and I am like, why are you even in school? I know I can't say that to them, but does any of this really matter at all right now? The world is moving so quickly that the stuff you're learning is just too slow"

I grew up with the C64 (early 80s) as so many of you here. My very first game ever, the one that my brother and I played to death, was Falcon Patrol (1983) designed by Steve Lee. If there is one sound I will remember until my final days, it will be the refueling sound of the jet. What was your first computer and the very first game you played on it? (Not a game that you played at your friend's place or at the arcades - but the first game on your very own first computer)

.Arjun Erigaisi: "There is a small story I would like to tell. Back in 2016, I played a strong open tournament called Aeroflot in Russia. I was literally the last seed. I got beaten very badly. Out of the possible nine rounds, I played eight, because I was so behind that I got a 'Bye' in one of the games. In the eight games that I played, I won one and I lost seven. It was such a tough tournament. The person who finished above me was 1.5 points ahead. I really struggled there. Recently, a friend of mine pointed out that now I am higher rated than everyone who took part in that tournament." Crowd goes: Whoa!

Bianca Belair on black diversity. “The most broad answer I can give is black people aren’t a monolith. We’re so diverse that there’s not one type of black. And that was one thing when I was in NXT, and I was very intentional about bringing my culture to the table and making it known that there is not one type of black.” “So when I was in NXT for Black History Month, I did a photo shoot where I had all of the girls come and we all wore different shades of blue, to represent that there is not one type of black. We’re all different shades of blue but at the end of the day, it’s still blue.” (2024)

Dave Chappelle says he walked away from $50,000,000 and didn’t even notice he was making $8M in a single year “I thought my career was over. I believed that for a few more years. So I went through the whole process of mourning the narrative I had in my head of being a big star. And at that time I was just back in Yellow Springs. Welcome back, superstar. I was like, oh man…” “Took me four years to get over it. But man, imagine how liberating that is, to believe that it’s over. And I got over it, and I just went back to work. I still needed money, and I could still fill rooms up, ’cause people liked the show. So I started back in comedy clubs” “One time somebody called me saying, Congratulations, you just made the Forbes list. And I’m like what? And I looked, because I don’t just count the money as it comes in. I looked, and that year… I’d made $8,000,000” “And I was tenth in the top ten. And then I looked at the other nine names, and I’m like, maybe I should come back”

Jayson Tatum on his message of gratitude to the team yesterday: “It was one, just being vulnerable, showing my appreciation to the team, of how they have played this season, how they motivated me every single day. The joy and competitive nature that they displayed, I wanted to be a part of that. And I say it all the time, going through rehab and being injured is lonely. It's not intentional. I couldn't practice for a while, I couldn't be in the game. When they were on the court, I was in the weight room, having to do my own thing. So you feel isolated, in a sense. “But I just expressed that being around as much as possible, going to games, being on the plane, really made me feel like I was still very much a part of the team, and how thankful to the group for just being themselves. I was thankful to the coaches that extended their days a lot by helping me during rehab and on the court and pick-up games [for] my conditioning. So I really just kind of telling everybody in the room that they all played a part in essentially helping me get to this moment.”

Edward Yang on the impact of watching Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972): "I found a job in Seattle at a research laboratory that contracted to do classified defense projects in microcomputers. I was among the first generation of designers and applicators for microcomputers and microprocessors. By the time I turned thirty I was pretty well established, with a team of seven or eight guys working on some very interesting projects. Later on I made the association that designing is like writing, and I realized that this background helped me a lot. After a couple of years as an engineer, of course, the routine bored me. One night, I was driving after work in downtown Seattle, and I saw a billboard outside a movie theater with the words, German New Wave, and the title, Aguirre: The Wrath of God. It made me curious, so I went in. I was fortunate. I came out a different person. That two hours just blew me away. It restored my sense of competence that I could be a filmmaker. This is what I thought a film should be. Film school would never teach you to make those kind of shots. That was one of the crucial moments of my life. I had turned thirty, I thought I was getting old, and three more years passed before I got the chance to work on a film project with a friend who asked me to write a script for him. I went back to Taipei, and also visited Hong Kong for the first time, and the film was shot in Japan. I got an offer to write and direct a made-for-TV movie in Taiwan, so I didn't go back to Seattle." — The Engineer of Modern Perplexity: An Interview with Edward Yang by Robert Sklar, published in Cineaste, Vol. 25, No. 3 in 2000

Who here was a fan of Company of Heroes? In terms of RTS games, this is pretty much the last "modern" one I played. Modern might be an odd term for a 20-year-old game (published in 2006), but I grew up with a C64 and M.U.L.E., so anything after 2000 still feels pretty modern to me, even today. I have no idea if current RTS games are more complex or have reverted to simplicity, but Company of Heroes felt right on the edge for me in terms of controls, speed, and frantic decision-making. I generally lean toward turn-based games (dungeon crawlers or strategy/war games), but the adrenaline rush and immersion are stronger in RTS, of course. We used to play this in 8-player LAN mode, and some of us didn’t have headsets - you can imagine the mayhem and chaos when you heard shots, explosions, and voice-overs. Honestly miss that time.

“I woke to a crushing sensation, like if you were on the bottom of a dog pile of people on top of you, and I just wanted to scream, get off me so I can breathe. At that moment I heard, and ‘heard’ is not the right word for it, it was like a sensational sound that shot through my head behind my ear and went inside, not an audible sound, but a different sound that increased in pitch and intensity and ended in a soft pop that felt like it was in the center of my head. That overpressure wave shot through my body from head to toes and I felt every single muscle in my body lock up, like being electrocuted. It was like nothing I’ve ever felt in my life before or after, and I thought, is this one of those sleep paralysis demons, because every single muscle then relaxed and I felt like I was falling through the bed and floor.”

Alex Hormozi reveals how he accidentally built a $26M business by "selling air" "I was doing gym turnarounds, flying out to gyms, selling 200 memberships in 20 days using Facebook ads. But the gym owners couldn't handle delivery. So I told the next 8 gyms we're done, we're getting out of the gym business." "One of the guys was like dude you saved my buddy's gym, I just mortgaged my house, I lost everything, please help me. I said listen I'll show you how to do it but I'm not flying out there. He said how much and I just picked the highest number I could think of at the time which was $6,000. He said it's done." "Then I had 7 more calls and made $60,000 in a day selling air. The next one I said 6, the next one I said 8, next one I said 10, next one I said 12. Everyone was like done, sure. I was like holy shit." "Layla comes back at the end of the day like hey I also just sold 2 deals. And that was the beginning of Gym Launch. We finished that year at $6.8 million. Next year we did $26 million with $17 million of profit. And I was like 28."

Most - if not all - games start easy and get more difficult the further you go. At least that's true for 99.99% of them, right? Enter Raid over Moscow - probably the only game that made players lose their minds on the very first sequence: the hangar. I will take an educated guess and say not a single soul on planet Earth succeeded on their first attempt at getting through that door. Legend says some are still stuck in there… Raid over Moscow was created by Bruce Carver and published by Access Software in 1984. It was highly controversial in several European countries, sparking political tension (as if the 1980s Cold War needed any more fuel) and leading to bans in multiple nations. Boy, what a decade.
