The Future Was Here: The Commodore Amiga (Platform Studies) List Price: $26.95 Sale Price: $17.43  |
|
Long ago, in 1985, personal computers came in two general categories: the friendly, childish game machine used for fun (exemplified by Atari and Commodore products); and the boring, beige adult box used for business (exemplified by products from IBM). The game machines became fascinating technical and artistic platforms that were of limited real-world utility. The IBM products were all utility, with little emphasis on aesthetics and no emphasis on fun. Into this bifurcated computing environment came the Commodore Amiga 1000. This personal computer featured a palette of 4,096 colors, unprecedented animation capabilities, four-channel stereo sound, the capacity to run multiple applications simultaneously, a graphical user interface, and powerful processing potential. It was, Jimmy Maher writes in The Future Was Here, the world's first true multimedia personal computer. Maher argues that the Amiga's capacity to store and display color photographs, manipulate video (giving amateurs access to professional tools), and use recordings of real-world sound were the seeds of the digital media future: digital cameras, Photoshop, MP3 players, and even YouTube, Flickr, and the blogosphere. He examines different facets of the platform--from Deluxe Paint to AmigaOS to Cinemaware--in each chapter, creating a portrait of the platform and the communities of practice that surrounded it. Of course, Maher acknowledges, the Amiga was not perfect: the DOS component of the operating systems was clunky and ill-matched, for example, and crashes often accompanied multitasking attempts. And Commodore went bankrupt in 1994. But for a few years, the Amiga's technical qualities were harnessed by engineers, programmers, artists, and others to push back boundaries and transform the culture of computing. |

The Lurking Horror |
|
Game Description: Ever since you've arrived at GUE Tech, you've heard stories about the creepy old campus basements and storage rooms, some so ancient that they contain only rotting piles of unidentifiable junk. Until now, you've never vertured lower than the ground floors... but tonight, somehting draws you down into the mysterious depths of the institute. |
Buying and scratching instant lottery tickets is something that almost everyone has done at one time or another. For some folks it's probably something they do too often. I guess for me, the bad buying habit is junk food. If I had spent my extra money on instant lottery tickets over the years, I may have been rich by now instead of overweight. Like anything, whether it's food or gambling one must do it in moderation, and that is often not easy to do.
Here in the state of Pennsylvania where I live, the first scratch off ticket came out in 1975, and they have been a big hit every since.
I have bought instant lottery tickets of every available price range in my state. I usually buy the $1 - $2 tickets, but once in awhile I buy a $5 - $10 ticket, and one time, I purchased a $20 instant ticket. I won nothing on the $20 ticket, not even $1 or a FREE ticket, so that was like throwing away my $20. You would think that with having to spend that much money, they would give everyone at least a FREE $1 ticket or something. I thought afterwards that I was kind of foolish for spending and losing the $20 on one ticket, but heck as they say, "If you don't play, you can't win !", it was a gamble, and I didn't win that time. I have known two individuals who each won near $20,000 on instant lottery tickets. So I can say for sure, "yes, some folks do win it big."
Unlike the live lottery that is usually drawn by picking numbers, the instant lottery is pre-determined months ahead of it's release. The tickets are designed and printed, then they are distributed to the lottery retailers throughout the state. Most small convenience stores offer instant lottery tickets, as well as the large chain stores. You can usually find them in a vending machine with multiple styles and price ranges to choose from, or they are at the cashiers area on the counter or behind a shielded section. Instant lottery tickets sell for as low as $1 and as high as $20 each in most states of the U.S. but some states may have tickets that sell for even more than $20 each.
States do instant lotteries to help fund many different programs. For instance in Pennsylvania, the lottery is used to generate funds to benefit programs for the Commonwealth's older residents. In Ohio, since 1974, the Lottery has provided more than $13 billion to public education. Annually, the lottery provides about 4.5 percent of the funding needed for Ohio's public education. In Missouri, approximately 27.3 cents of every dollar spent on the Lottery benefits education programs; 61.6 cents goes back to players as prizes, 5 cents is used for administrative costs and 6.1 cents goes to retailers in the form of commissions, incentives and bonuses. In all, more than 93 cents of every dollar stays in Missouri. It's different for every state, but the lottery is very beneficial despite the few problems it can cause to some, in the form of gambling addictions.
Most folks buy instant (scratch off) tickets, and if they don't win anything, they throw the tickets in the trash. Did you know that every time you throw a losing instant lottery ticket in the trash, you are throwing money away ? Yes, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of folks around the world that would love to buy your tickets from you. I have seen losing lottery tickets sell for as high as $15 each, these were tickets that had no redeemable value. I once went to a local convenience store and asked them if I could have a bag of losing instant lottery tickets I saw they had on the floor behind the counter. The clerk gladly gave them to me, I took the tickets home and after checking through them all, I found two that were $1 winners that were not redeemed, and I sold the remaining losing tickets for $30, and the store was just going to throw them away.
Where did I sell them ? On eBay. I happened to look one day and I noticed there was losing instant lottery tickets for sale on the eBay auction website. There are folks selling non-winning, so called 'worthless' lottery tickets on eBay all the time. I just did a search now while writing this article, and I found over 100 different auction listings for them. Who buys these non-winning lottery tickets ? Collectors.
Instant Lottery Ticket collecting is fast becoming a big thing. There are groups and individuals all around the world, that love collecting lottery tickets. There are many websites, discussion groups and forums now just for lottery ticket collecting. In fact there is even a new term or name for an instant lottery ticket collector: LOTOLOGIST, and the instant lottery ticket collecting hobby is called: LOTOLOGY. To see how big this hobby is becoming just visit your favorite search engine, such as GOOGLE, and do a search for: lotologist OR lotology. And you can find many sites collecting, selling and buying used non-winning instant lottery tickets.
One unique website is the 'Pennsylvania Lottery Merchandise Museum' - They will buy or accept donations of Pennsylvania Lottery Merchandise. The Museum has all of their lottery merchandise online for visitors to easily view, you can visit the museum at this website address:
There is Computer Software that is made just for collecting instant lottery tickets. The software is called: ' Lottery Ticket Collector Professional ', you can download and try the software for free at this website address:

The 5 Best Apple iPad Games
Featuring everything from real-time strategy titles like Modern Conflict HD to card game classics like Uno HD, we've compiled a comprehensive updated list of over 5 of the greatest video games available for the Apple iPad.
The original Fieldrunners was one of the first iPhone games to receive critical acclaim from press other than the traditional gaming media, and it sparked a wave of tower defense games on the App Store. An iPad edition was an inevitability, and it plays and looks about like you'd expect it -- like Fieldrunners for iPhone but with an easier-to-handle interface and an aesthetically pleasing visual update. Developers Subatomic Studios have given a considerable amount of post-release support to their game with new maps, so TD fans won't be starved for content if they invest in this App Store hit.
2. Babylonian Twins HD
With origins as an Amiga game in the early '90s, Babylonian Twins has a long and storied history. The game allows players to switch between two unique characters, both of whom have unique abilities which will be used to navigate around enormous levels. We found the game to be extremely challenging--despite it's kid-friendly art--and its head-scratching puzzles are incredibly satisfying to solve. With that being said, the best target audience for this game is the older crowd that can appreciate a truly challenging platformer. Worthy of special mention is the original Iraqi-influenced musical score, which is both soothing and appropriate for the setting of the game.
3. Flight Control HD
Flight Control is one of those games that has become synonymous with iPhone gaming, so it was no surprise to see an HD iPad version ready to go for launch day. The game requires players to think quickly to draw out flight paths for numerous planes to help guide them to a safe landing. Directing the planes into one another has disastrous results, so it's important to manage time and space effectively to get a high score. The iPad version features a 3D glasses mode, numerous multiplayer options including split-screen, and even a co-op mode. You won't think it form having played the iPhone version, but Flight Control makes a pretty solid multiplayer tabletop game when playable on the right hardware.
4. Broken Sword HD
Redubbed as Circle of Blood for its stateside release, the first Broken Sword was heralded by critics as a beautiful piece of interactive work that shouldn't be missed by any fan of point-and-click adventure games. This new Director's Cut version of the game adds in several new segments to the game's core story which allow players to slip into the shoes of Nicole (one of the game's two main characters) for the first time. In addition to the new segments, new art and animation has been provided by Dave Gibbons, who many will recognize from his work on the Watchmen comic series. Several user-friendly features like a hint system have been added into the iPad release of this game, so if you're interested in the genre, don't be afraid to pick this one up.
5. Civilization Revolution for iPad
Civilization Revolution was 2K's attempt to bring a more "newbie friendly" version of the classic Civ franchise to consoles, and it was a by and large a success. A reworked interface that takes advantage of the iPad's unique featuers ensures that this is a port of surprisingly high quality. Civilization Revolution improves upon the basic iPhone version by including a Scenario Creator, which allows players to make their own challenges and adds what is essentially unlimited replay value. If there was ever a game for those unfamiliar with Sid Meier's excellent strategy series to jump into, this is it.
