Podcasts about alien mindbenders

ES IST 1997 UND DIE WELT IST SO DUMM WIE NOCH NIE… Außerirdische haben eine Dummheitsmaschine gebaut, die langsam jedermanns Intelligenzquotienten erniedrigt. Am schlimmsten ist aber, daß die einzige Person, die die Aliens stoppen kann, der Boulevard-Reporter Zak McKracken ist, der sich für seine Zeitung die tollsten Geschichten über vegetarische Vampire und fleischfressenden Blumenkohl ausdenkt. SIE HABEN DIE TELEFONGESELLSCHAFT ÜBERNOMMEN… Das klingt genau wie noch so eine von Zaks verrückten Geschichten. Aber während ihm das sowieso niemand abnimmt, findet er unterhalb seines San Franciscoer Apartments eingesperrt die Podcaster Simon & Sebastian, die ursprünglich mit ihrem umgebauten VW-Bulli zum Mars fliegen wollten. "Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders" von David Fox und 1988 ist das zweite klassische Lucasfilm-Grafikadventure, das die SCUMM-Engine verwendet, und es jettet nicht bloß einmal um die ganze Welt, sondern sogar ins Weltall – und beinhaltet mehr Paranormales und New-Age-Mystizismus, als Shirley MacLaine in einen sechsstündigen Fernsehfilm packen könnte. Mit dieser Folge setzt die Rückspultaste nicht nur die Lucasfilm-Games-Werkschau fort, die sich bisher "Maniac Mansion" und "The Secret of Monkey Island™" vorknöpfte – es wird auch ein Schlußakkord gespielt für unsere diesjährige Trilogie, die sich mit Religion und Esoterik befaßt. Bis bald! PS: Wir danken allen Cameos, die den Hörspiel-Part dieser Folge bereichert haben – vor allem "unserem Zak" Michael, der unsere bisherigen Lucasfilm-Folgen mit seiner Pixelkunst veredelte. Drei der Stimmen haben eigene Podcasts – ihr hört Britt-Marie beim Frankfurter Kranz, den American Cyborg Terminator bei den Männern, die auf Videos starren, und Felo im Sumpf. Und die wunderbare Flamenco-Version vom Zak-McKracken-Titelsong könnt ihr euch hier reinziehen.

It's the Super Bowl this week, but we aren't chatting about football. Instead, Sean waxes poetic on an odd rule specific to college basketball. We also do talk a little Super Bowl — like what song will Rihanna kick off the halftime show with?Plus, there are a ton of tangents (largely before we even start talking sports). Friday Night Lights. Video games like Zak McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders. Eating next to celebrities in restaurants.Fitting for such a Super Bowl extravaganza of an episode!

I am joined by Jan Hofmeister, who has spent years restoring for free, in particular point and click adventure game box art and posters – creating stunning print quality tributes to these classic titles. Titles from Lucas Arts, Adventure Soft and more in beautiful high quality using a variety of assets from the original box art, magazine full-page spreads, manuals and more. Although the audio version of the podcast is still available, this is very much a visual presentation as Jan takes us through a selection of his work and details for the first time the processes and applications he uses for these restorations. Topics include: How Jan became interested in restoring game box art and posters Jan’s fascination with Lucas Arts point and click adventure games The early days with the Commodore 128 and Maniac Mansion How it became a hobby and a skill The influence of Jurassic Park in computer graphics Restoration of Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders process demonstrated Restoration of The Secret of Monkey Island process demonstrated Restoration of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine process demonstrated Restoration of The Curse of Monkey Island up close Restoration of Simon the Sorcerer up close Jan’s work on the cover of Back to the Future: The Game The sad side of Jan’s restoration efforts How you can support Jan’s work

Wir besprechen das Spiel "Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders".

Zak McKracken er Lucasfilm Games tredje eventyrspill og byr på en konspiratorisk verden med romvesener, Elvis, Marsboere, en kazoo, og ikke minst løsnese og -briller. cd SPILL har fått besøk av skaperen bak spillhistorie.no, Joachim Froholt som deler sine gode minner om denne klassikeren.

Ya estamos aquí otra quincena más, desde el asilo más friki de la podcasfera y en esta ocasión en "Cuando todo esto era campo", quería hablaros del programa El Millonario y en "Te vas a quedar ciego con tanta maquinita" del videojuego Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. No esperes que te lo cuenten y dale al play.

Die Welt, Ende der 80er. Es herrscht im Adventure-Genre ziemlich unangefochten die Firma Sierra mit ihren Erfolgsserien, aber 1987 setzt LucasFilm Games, der Games-Arm von George Lucas' Filmfirma, einen Kontrapunkt: Maniac Mansion etabliert mit seinen technischen Errungenschaften und dem popkulturell aufgeladenen Humor eine Formel, die von da an das Genre prägt. Die Erwartungshaltung an das nächste Adventure des Studios ist folglich groß – und Studio-Veteran David Fox liefert mit Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders ein umfangreiches Spiel, das sich stark an Maniac Mansion orientiert, aber an entscheidenden Stellen von dem Vorbild abweicht. Insbesondere in Deutschland erobern sich die LucasArts-Adventures einen dauerhaften Platz in den Herzen der Spieler. Chris und Gunnar sprechen über die Entstehung des Titels, über das Spiel und lassen auch den Entwickler David Fox zu Wort kommen.

Me encantaría leer sus comentarios, por supuesto se los responderé

It's time once again for another installment of our LucasArts adventure game series with what could be the only podcast episode ever created about the developer's least beloved (outside of Germany) game. Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders might be the LucasArts adventure that's aged the worst, but it's a fascinating case of a game trapped between the design styles of Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island, and one that decided to take an evolutionary path that ended up being a dead end. On this episode, join Bob Mackey and Duckfeed.tv's Gary Butterfield as the two take apart Zak McKracken to see what makes it so different from the rest of the LucasArts catalog.

Der Nachfolge-Adventure Hit von Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, ist nicht nur in Deutschland ein sehr beliebtes Game gewesen sondern hat mitunter meine Kindheit mit-definiert. Was alles so am Lucas Arts-Klassiker dran ist heute in der Retrospektive.

TCW Podcast Episode 108- Adventuring with LucasArts Part 1   We look at LucasFilm games, AKA LucasArts.  Not the company as a whole, but their influence on adventure games.  Not only were they instrumental in advancing adventure games, they were able to affect the industry as a whole.  We look briefly at the formation of the company, and get into some of their early projects.  A young contractor, Ron Gilbert, joined the team by helping to convert some early games to the Commodore 64.  Gilbert was later the driving force in creating an adventure game that was not full of deaths, saves, and no-win states.   Commodore 64 Ballblazer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPk6sAHFGXg Atari XL/XE Rescue on Fractalus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kNxy6UIX_k Labyrinth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77Aje3ceClA Grumpy Gamer: https://grumpygamer.com/teenage_lobot Ways to die in King's Quest I Remake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-Oo9IJGXGA King's Quest III Redux: http://www.agdinteractive.com/games/kq3/download/download.html Maniac Mansion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7oUArcVis0 Ron Gilbert - Maniac Mansion Postmortem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNpjGvJwyL8 Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPEocH6Am6w Indiana Joes and the Last Crusade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ivNLD75rAU Classic Games Postmortem: LucasFilm Games' Loom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1aVDael-KM Loom Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps1N2GS378g Why Adventure Games Suck: https://grumpygamer.com/why_adventure_games_suck The Secret of Monkey Island: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpIUxjGfkXg   A special congratulations to our giveaway winners!

An airhacks.fm conversation with Sebastien Blanc (@sebi2706) about: Thomson MO5, every school in France needs to have a computer, printing the name with BASIC, the REM sadness, making yellow boxes, programming Logo in French, writing "root" and "house" procedures, no procedures in BASIC, the ACSLogo for Mac OS X, Berkeley Logo (UCBLogo), the Amstrad PC1512, using AMOS programming language for writing games, writing invoicing software with 14 and AMOS, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, Siemens Nixdorf PC, QuickBasic on Siemens Nixdorf DX2-66, the Persistence of Vision Raytracer, average calculation for school notes with QuickBasic, writing ballistic games for TI BASIC (TI 99/4A), playing Nirvana on e-guitar, starting with Java in 2002, the Rational Rose Logo Edition, learning Java EE on JOnAS, Apache Tapestry, consulting with Apache Jetspeed, writing Java EE code for 7 years, hardtimes with WebSphere, Xerces and ClassLoading, refactorings to Maven, mobile web / Grails involvements, starting at RedHat's mobile team - AeroGear, Matthias Wessendorf, Matthias loves Java Server Faces (JSF), the unified push server, starting keycloak involvement, the security challenge, the keycloak religion, keycloak ships as WildFly distribution, keycloak is a WildFly subsystem, keycloak uses hibernate for persistence, keycloak manages users with credentials, keycloak ships with ready to UI to manage users, keycloak functionality is exposed as REST services, there is a Java client available - as REST wrapper, keycloak is a "remote" proxy realm, keycloak ships with adapters for major application servers out-of-the-box, keycloak comes with SSO - different application servers can share the same session, the security realm is a "territory", in keycloak a session is optional -- a microservice can use JWT token, using OIDC tokens, keycloak comes with servlet filters for servers without adapter support, the new keycloak approach is the Keycloak Gatekeeper, Keycloak Gatekeeper is a sidecar service, apache mod_auth_openidc, keycloak is oidc compliant -- any generic OIDC library should work, the JWT creation tool JWTenizr, the "Securing JAX-RS Endpoints with JWT" screencast, the oauth flows, oauth authorization flow, implicit flow and the hybrid flow, access token has to have short lifetime, using services accounts for schedulers, keycloak has a logout backchannel - available from servlet filter, pushing a timestamp also causes logout, HttpServletRequest#logout also logouts, the killer feature: keycloak stores the private keys in one place and makes public keys available via URI, Sebastien Blanc on twitter: @sebi2706

We start off talking to David about how he first got to Lucasfilm Games, then at 7:15 we get into what it was like working at the company, as well as the inner workings and development of the SCUMM engine. Then at 10:30 we talk about the first few games that David was the designer, project leader, and a programmer on (Rescue on Fractalus!, Labyrinth, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders). At 21:45 we ask David about what it was like going from a programmer to the Director of Operations for LucasArts.We jump ahead and get into Thimbleweed Park at the 30:30 mark (BEWARE: SPOILERS AFTER THIS POINT), and then get into some of David's overall career work and themes throughout at 48:30. At the end, around 54:30, David enlightens us with his own personal rendition of "What's the Beer? What's the Song?" for Thimbleweed Park, and of course offers a few recommendations for us as well.For instance, make sure you check out Family Confidential, David's wife Annie's podcast: http://familyconfidential.com/And of course there's David's previous project Rube Works as well: https://www.rubegoldberg.com/education/rube-works-game/Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!Also, if you have a minute, feel free to check out our Patreon video over at: https://www.patreon.com/molmfAnd thanks again to all of our fantastic patrons who've already jumped in.Otherwise, you can always find us at the following locales:Website: www.MenOfLowMoralFiber.com Twitter: @MOLMFpod Instagram: @MenOfLowMoralFiber Email: MOLMFpod@gmail.comCheck out our MOLMF merch too!And if you have a minute, go check out our Patreon: patreon.com/molmf

In this first episode discussing recently remastered LucasArts classic Day of the Tentacle, we talk about the influence of adventure games generally and the reputed mis-reporting of games being dead, as well as talking about the format of this game in particular. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Note: Brett keeps referring to Monkey Island 2 and Secret of Monkey Island kind of interchangeably. We regret the error. Sections played: Hard to say! But we both tried to get to where Laverne drapes herself in the flag, about three hours of play. Podcast breakdown: 0:33      Intro and segment 1 41:50    Break 1 42:17    Segment 2: intro to game, usability, format 1:24:10 Break 2 1:24:41 Segment 3: next time, FF9 follow-up, Hitman follow-up, outro   Issues covered: Hosts' early history with adventure games, playing text adventures on a 200 baud modem, calling hint lines, how to get hired at LucasArts, "death of the adventure game," exploring new directions for the genre, nostalgia factor and moving on from adventure games in 1993, usability issues in adventure games, grognard capture (and the audience base), exploration and getting into the head of the designer, player vs simulation, keeping the adventure game alive and evolving it this millennium, user-facing features and a request for reader input, wish fulfillment in your adventure games, immediacy of power fantasy in 1993, enthusiast press and what they focus on, Gold Guy animations, opening credits, building on existing technology vs building new technology (and the 3D revolution), no Star Wars games at LucasArts, art style for DoTT to preserve a look rather than lose it through low resolution, sparseness of initial playable environment -- tutorialization? or just lucky..., expanding the possibility space, puzzle threads, repetitive dialog as hints and lack of that in the inventory items, puzzles as quests but without a supporting journal or log, clarity or consistency of object or puzzle state, figuring out the weird constraints of time travel, level design thoughtfulness, a mechanical misstep that induces a lot of repetitive play, fighting the game, a jigsaw puzzle where you're not sure you have all the puzzle pieces, film references, choice of language and what's important to reinforce themes, maintaining consistent vision and the difficulties that team size present.

I dag er @runehak og @jhegstad innom og forteller om Tombstone-festivalen, fising i VHS-coveret, tusen år for gammelt øl, ribbepølse med riskrem og rød saus, småcore på bygda, U-ball, mesterskap i fett hår, hullete olabukser, vannskade på klasserommet, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, Stjørdals-crackergruppen Razor 1911, hvordan en amerikaner fant ut at han kunne ringe gratis og, tilslutt, hvordan alle inntektene fra Tetris gikk rett til den Sovjetiske stat. Velbekomme!

Part deux of our chat with Tony Sarkees, an attorney in Chicago who loves making things at the local hackerspace as much as he loves gaming. We play This is Your Life, compete in a quiz about C64 games and talk gadgets. Tony is the ultimate mobile consumer, switching his SIM card between Android & iPhone for many years. It all started with jailbreaking an iPod Touch. Chris remembers Tony’s many tweets about his Chumby, a cuddly, user-friendly device that our guest believes has no counterpart. Not too long ago, our guest’s friend Newman passed away and Chris is touched by Tony’s tribute to his cat. Quiz Time The Commodore 64 game Agent USA. The Lucas Arts games company used a programming language called SCUMM. SCUMM stands for Scripting Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion. Another terrific Lucas Arts game was Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. Once again our guest defeats Paul! Paul says, “Yo dawg, do you remember Napster?” We discuss piracy and the maker community. Chris suggests the Stuff You Should Know Podcast about TV ratings. Paul suggests checking out the C.G.P. Grey youtube channel, because learning! Chris’ next project is rebuilding his subwoofer. Did you know you could build your own and probably get something better and less expensive? Everything you need is at Parts Express. Paul is hoping to build a gnarly workspace in his office for all this podcast gear. He’s learning Google Sketch Up to create something. He’s starting the center of the sweet desktop with a rackmount equipment stand. Chris shares a very cool site with open designs, OpenDesk. Thanks to all the listeners who bought one of our Tees! Unfortunately, they are no longer for sale, but you can always request a reprint. You can find Tony on twitter, his site, the electro bureau or grab some of the things he makes at his shop.

Angefangen hat alles mit einigen einfachen Befehlen, die es einzutippen galt. Kurze Eingabe wie „go west“,“ get lamp“ oder „open door“ genügten, um in Textadventures, wie Zork (1980) noch nie dagewesene Abenteuer zu erleben. Ein Game-Genre war geboren dessen Erfahrung, die man mit ihm gemacht hat, so manchen Gamer noch heute nicht mehr loslassen. So suchte man vergebens im Lucasfilm Games Klassiker Maniac Mansion (1987) nach Benzin für eine Kettensäge, um dann ein Jahr später im Spiel Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders (1988) das gesuchte Benzin ohne eine dafür vorhandene Kettensäge zu finden. Weitere kultige Spielreihen, wie Monkey Island (ab 1990) von Lucars Arts oder Sierra On-Lines Leisure Suit Larry (ab 1987), King‘s Quest (ab 1984) und Space Quest (ab 1986), folgten. Über alle Titel und so einige mehr geht es in dieser neuen Ausgabe des Telespiel-Late-Night-Podcasts. Für euch an den Mikros sind wie immer eure Gastgeber: Konsolen Chris (Floppy Fans), Sanifox (Retro Hunter), Scorp.ius (Retro Snippets). Als Gast begrüßen wir ein weiteres Mal Jo Hesse, bekannt als einstige PC-Action-Führungskraft und als Mitglied des Zockersalat-Podcasts. Wir wünschen euch viel Spaß beim Anhören!
