He guesses $300 on each list, and if he wins the game I have to give away a sticker from the merch store!” Sam's list John's list Adam has a list “Spot the fake” “We're given a list of game titles, and we have to guess which one was made up” “Games Described Badly” “We're given several descriptions of video games and we have to guess what game is being described.” Sam's List “Retro-pedia” “I'm going to start reading the description of a game from wikipedia.

Michael #2: awesome sqlalchemy A few notable ones SQLAlchemy-Continuum: Versioning and auditing extension for SQLAlchemy. SQLAlchemy-Utc: SQLAlchemy type to store aware datetime.datetime values. SQLAlchemy-Utils: Various utility functions, new data types and helpers for SQLAlchemy filedepot: DEPOT is a framework for easily storing and serving files in web applications. SQLAlchemy-ImageAttach: SQLAlchemy-ImageAttach is a SQLAlchemy extension for attaching images to entity objects. SQLAlchemy-Searchable: Full-text searchable models for SQLAlchemy. sqlalchemy_schemadisplay: This module generates images from SQLAlchemy models. Can we also get a shoutout to SQLModel? Dean #3: ThreadPoolExecutor in Python: The Complete Guide Long, but worth it (80-120 minutes). Could be consumed in parts. It's mostly a collection of other blogposts on superfastpython Many examples LifeCycle Usage patterns Map and was as_completed vs sequentially callbacks IO-Bound vs CPU-bound Common Questions Comparison vs. ProcessPoolExecutor vs. threading.Thread vs. AsyncIO Brian #4: Chaining comparison operators Rodrigo Girão Serrão I use chained expressions all the time, mostly with ranges: min

It's a new year and we're back with a new episode! We interview Bob Lament, AKA QIX, from Static Radio. Qix has quite a few crimes and he seemed like such a nice guy you almost don't notice them.

Bart Simpson multiplica por cero a los mutantes en la portada de MicroManía Segunda Época número 44. ¿Quién hubiera dicho que 30 años después, tanto MicroManía como Los Simpsons seguirían al pie del cañón? Solo los retroseguidores de rm30podcast y el soñador de Tungsteno Pixel Van Gogh, que es capaz de prever el futuro con ‘infusiones’ de melange. Precisamente, Pixel Van Gogh, presentador del podcast ‘Los sueños de Tungsteno’, es el invitado del mes y nos ayuda con el sorteo de los premios GOTY 1991 y el repaso habitual a la revista, a parte de hacernos un resumen de su canal pirata cyberpunk. La revista de este mes, que estrena el mítico año 1992, viene cargada de juegazos, como los que iniciaron las sagas ‘Wing Commander’ y ‘Streets of Rage’. Comentamos también la digitalizada aventura gráfica ‘Heart of China’, el MegaJuego ‘Nebulus 2’, el sandbox ‘Hunter’, el ‘Volfied’ a.k.a. ‘Qix’, el favorito de Jesús ‘Rodland’, y ‘Kong’s Revenge’, ¿será esto lo último del software español como ‘proclama’ la portada de MicroManía? Tampoco podemos dejar pasar la oportunidad de meter nuestro comentario mensual sobre Sonic, esta vez con la enmienda del señor Pixel. Por su parte, @jgonza_ nos adelanta por la derecha con su longplay de ‘Out Run’ de Amstrad y esquiva las reglas de su colaboración con RetroManía30 con un juego analizado en Game Gear (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLpMQaesnT8).

We have the good, the bad, and the indifferent today, and you might be a little surprised to find out which one is which. Cacoma Knight is the one Emmy and Link don't have strong opinions one way or another about. It's not terrible, but it's basically just another version of Qix, an arcade game that goes back to the 80s. We talk about the flaws and the things that make this version stand out a bit. As for the bad category, well, that would be Battletoads. Link and Emmy discuss the series' promising roots and what makes this one such a let down for them. And then there's BOB, which is a solid run-and-gun platformer that our hosts rather enjoyed. And Link will tell you a bit about the sequel to this game that sadly never was. The Battletoads may have usurped BOB for the cover of the last Nintendo Power they discussed, but Link and Emmy are making BOB the cover boy he was meant to be in this episode of SNEScapades.

It's 1981 and arcades are in desperate need of some variety. Enter Qix, the first puzzle game for the arcades and developed by a married couple. Qix went on to be a initial big hit for Taito America and is an incredibly unique game to this day. What many consider a sleeper hit today, this game paved the wave for future puzzle games that would later pop up in the gaming industry. Enjoy the episode!

It's a pic of me at my grandparents playing Football on the Atari 5200! My grandparents and parents bought heavily into the Atari 5200 system and games; and then, the video game industry crashed. Fortunately for me, my Dad loved garage sales and bought up everyone's 5200's and games. So we had 3 of those bad boys in our house. Unfortunately for me, Nintendo came around and grandparents and parents wanted nothing to do with "another gaming system". I will say, besides Football, I loved playing Breakout, Jungle Hunt, and River Raid! But my must favorite games were Star Raider and Qix! Ahh... The memories. P.S. this is why the SNES was my first Nintendo - since I had to buy that myself in 1990/1991.   (Outro) Thanks for listening to the RetroLogic Podcast!

80s teen comedies were tons of fun at the time, but were they a deeper influence than we remember? Plus, the classic puzzle-platform video game Lemmings and other brain busting games.    When we were independent enough to see more mature movies, we often chose from a variety of 80s teen comedies. Sure they were ridiculous, but they also presented relatable coming of age stories that stuck with us into adulthood. Plus, keep your mind sharp by playing the ‘91 classic Lemmings or other puzzle platform video games.  TechnoRetro News Mortal Kombat is set for a more mature and true to the game rated R version A Buckaroo Banzai sequel novel is finally coming from the original author The original Muppet Show will soon be on Disney+ Are you on board for a Willy Wonka prequel movie? How about a Young Guns 3 sequel? I Love My Cereal More classic cereals are getting the snack bag treatment with Cap’n Crunch’s Oops! All Mega Berries. And the Ghostbusters sequel will start out the hype with a General Mills cereal TechnoRetro Arcade Lemmings has been a favorite for 30 years. In this puzzle platform video game, you control a pack of lemmings (or more scientifically accurate; a ‘slice’ of lemmings) as you lead them to safety. And we would occupy ourselves with other puzzles like Tetris, Qix, The Incredible Machine, Minesweeper, and Myst.  What were some of your favorites? Let’s All Go To The Movies The 80s gave us so many great movie genres that have influenced us in different ways. But were Teen Comedies just mindless fun, or did they make a difference too? We look back as some of our favorite goofy, fun, sometimes raunchy selections and how they may have been deeper coming of age stories for all of us to learn from as we grew up. 

1991 begins with a whimper: AD&D Heroes of the Lance, Fun House, G.I. Joe, Hunt for Red October, Kabuki Quantum Fighter, Krion Conquest, Peter Pan, Qix, The Untouchables & Wayne Gretzky Hockey. Don't miss our top 15 NES games of 1990!

Zoo Keeper is an arcade game created by Taito Corporation in 1982. It began life as a slightly different game involving a crab trying to contain tadpole eggs, but the idea morphed into a zoo keeper attempting to return the escaped zoo animals back to their cages. It was one of the few American-designed games that Taito released (with Qix and Space Dungeon being two others). In this game, Zeke the zoo keeper must control a menagerie of wild animals and keep them behind the walls of a zoo. The walls of the zoo are built beneath Zeke's feet as he moves around the outside of the zoo with one cage in the center. In early rounds, the wall is partially built when you start, but in later rounds, Zeke must build the wall from scratch. Unfortunately, Zoo Keeper came out just before the video game market crashed in 1983, and it was never picked up for conversion to any home system. It finally came home for the first time in 2005, as part of the Taito Legends classic compilation.

Que ce soit l’affaire Grégory ou Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès en France, l’affaire Ted Bundy ou Charles Manson de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique, les faits divers, les tueurs en série et les enquêtes ont toujours fasciné… Les auteurs, journalistes et autres réalisateurs n’ont d’ailleurs pas manqué de les retranscrire et de les raconter. Comment les faits divers sont-ils traités dans la culture ? L’équipe de Puzzle répond à cette question tout au long de cette semaine. Dans cet épisode, Karen Etourneau vous recommande une BD qui se frotte au genre unique du fait divers... Inventer son propre fait diversLa fascination pour les faits divers est souvent liée au fait que ces histoires peuvent nourrir la fiction. En effet, on y trouve les ingrédients parfaits pour doper n’importe quel récit. Mais certains auteurs utilisent les codes du fait divers pour... inventer leur propre histoire. De toute façon, le fait divers, c’est le moment où la réalité est tellement folle qu’elle dépasse la fiction, donc on y verra que du feu. Et puis, ce qui compte, c’est tout ce qui se passe autour. Il y a déjà des auteurs qui ont testé la recette. C'est le cas de Thierry Smolderen et d'Alexandre Clérisse, qui ont écrit la BD "Une année sans Cthulhu". Une enquête inventée de toute pièce"Une année sans Cthulhu", c'est une enquête inventée de toute pièce. La petite ville d’Auln-sur-Arcq, là où se déroule toute l'intrigue, n’existe pas. En revanche, les références qui peuplent le récit sont bien réelles. Le titre fait évidemment référence au monstre créé par Lovecraft, apparu en 1928 dans la nouvelle "L’appel de Cthulhu". Nouvelle qui, dans les années 1980, a donné lieu au jeu de rôles favori des héros. Aux côtés de Lovecraft, on trouve des références à Stephen King, au jeu d’arcade Qix, à Tron et même un clin d’oeil à "Donjons et Dragons".Le décryptage de Karen Etourneau dans cet épisode.Durant toute la semaine, l'équipe de Puzzle parle de faits divers.
