A Free-as-in-Beer labor-of-love history of CRPG (Computer Role Playing Games)

My "gateway" drug For those of you who grew up during the inception of Computer Role Playing Games, this book is for you! Across its 528 pages you’ll find information about over 400 RPGs, from the early PLATO games to modern AAA releases, as well as hidden gems, curiosities and even fan-translations. The reviews were written by a team of 112 volunteers from all around the globe – fans, modders, journalists, critics, indies and AAA developers. It is really amazing to see how much work ( link ) Felipe Pepe and his 115 contributors put into this work. The PDF is here ( link )

A great guide for verification of the TREASURE/CRAP from the Internet

Ever get some newsbit from someone like "Wave the Dave" and wonder, "Does he/she believe this is real?" Well, beside the usual trip to www.snopes.com to double check a long-running chain-letter rumor, for more recent/current events, take a look at the " Verification Handbook" ( pdf link !!) is a collection of short chapters about how-to-verify-social-media- information. This handbook is edited by Craig Silverman of the Poynter Institute and the creator of the blog Regret the Error . EXAMPLE: Chapter 4, "Verifying Images," discusses getting EXIF data from an image, as well as using other corroborating information such as weather conditions (was the picture actually taken on the day claimed... did you know it was raining that day?)

Moon Patrol + ASCII = ASCII Patrol

Again, I did not realize that I had an itch that I needed to scratch. I remember many a college day playing at the rinky-dink videogame place in Isla Vista. Of course, there was the champion, Gauntlet, and the surprisingly titled, Gauntlet 2. But Moon Patrol and SideArms were the oddball favorites. But was I surprised to see this recently... Yes. Moon Patrol in ASCII. It runs in HTML5, Linux, Windows and something called FreeDOS. Get it here! ( link ) NOW!! Or play it NOW ( link )
