Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.In this week's episode, I will be breaking-down the ground-breaking 1982 cyberpunk movie, Tron  – written and directed by Steven Lisberger, starring Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, David Warner, Cindy Morgan, and Barnard Hughes.A computer hacker is abducted into the digital world and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program.This is one of the first cyberpunk films I remember watching as a little kid. I remember being dazzled by the otherworldly raw special effects of cyberspace, thinking about how cool it would be to be zapped into my favorite video game (I always wanted to be in Space Quest and travel the universe with Roger Wilco and the Pirates of Pestulon). Tron was one of the landmark 1982 cyberpunk films along with Blade Runner, Burst City, and Liquid Sky. So, do me a favor – it's time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is!

Greetings, carbon-based lifeforms! The Space Quest Adventurecast has reached its exciting conclusion, but we hope you've enjoyed it! In this episode you'll be treated to: - Droole trying desperately to befriend a water buffalo - The crew eliminating the remaining Sequel Policeman in spectacular fashion - Roger and Cliffy abusing the ability to "save" and "load" the game - Significant amounts of death ...and then they finish the adventure, or something!

De tre herrene i LOLbua byr på helt nye og ferske spillopplevelser i ukas episode. Vi har nemlig testet det norskutviklede Mummi-spillet om Snusmumrikken og det splitter nye Mudrunners-spillet Expedition. Så aktuelle er vi til og med at Jon Cato har prøvd seg i det blodferske styrtregnet i kjøresimulatoren iRacing - den kanskje største oppdateringen i spillets 16 år lange historie!Men frykt ikke, vi har masse innhold for deg som elsker gamle spill også. Vi tar nemlig turen til november 1987, og gjenbesøker blant annet David Brabens tekniske mesterverk Zarch, Space Quest 2, Rainbow Islands og det utrolig fascinerende Spectrum-spillet Dark Scepter.Og om ikke det var nok får du nok en gang en tannlegeanbefaling fra Lars i anbefalingsspalten. Det er lov å spole over akkurat denne biten.Tusen takk for at dere hører på oss, folkens. Vi snakkes om en uke!

It's the AGI EGA original vs the SCI VGA remake!

We're back, spacefarers, with another zany episode of the Space Quest Adventurecast! The journey continues as the crew of the debris field formerly known as the S.C.S. Goliath (and S.C.S. Eureka) search the strange and wacky halls of this strange water-based... museum? Aquarium? Research facility? Whatever the heck it is, the crew certainly isn't going to leave the place unscathed before they find their way out. In this action-packed installment, you'll witness: - Insights into Cliffy's television preferences - The crew instilling fear and confusion into the cores of the various maintenance robots - A tactical use for shaken-up soda - Roger poking a tentacle with a stick, and the predictable consequences ...and much more! Music from spacequest.net, and The Space Quest Historian.

What's this?! A new GameCola RPGcast? Nay, I say! This...is something a bit different. Join me, James Pelster, as the narrator, and fellow GameCola staff, alumni, and superfans as the player characters: John Rizzi as Roger Wilco, Nathaniel Hoover as Beatrice Wankmeister, Leaf as Rumproast Droole, Alex Jedraszczak as Flo, Blu Ryder as W-D40, and Joseph Martin as Cliffy, as they participate in the most open-ended and nonsensical GameCola odyssey to date! In this part, you can expect to witness: - James getting small Space Quest lore details wrong and it bothers Nathaniel - A robot failing at basic math - Beatrice apologizing with peanuts - Cliffy being the victim of a whoopee cushion prank - The party deliberating for several minutes over buying refreshments ...and much more! Music from spacequest.net.
