Videos and Video Games

I. "Thailand Decides 2006" II. Classic Geek Games I. "Thailand Decides 2006" My uncle had an interview at CNBC's Squawk Box earlier today regarding Thailand's political crisis. You may watch it at YouTube or download a copy with higher resolution from my box. This took me some time to prepare and upload since all my VirtualDub settings have been wiped out. Video and audio wasn't synched but I found a work around. There were no dropped frames though (but ate ~15GB for ~10 minutes). II. Classic Geek Games Ugh. Still lazy. Anyway, I was looking for some games for FC5 a few minutes ago. Bumped into some cool stuff. First off, DOSBox 0.65 was just released. I'm hoping for full functionality of Constructor. The previous released version allowed the game to run but crashed somewhere in the middle. Another one is OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon Deluxe). I was expecting added vehicles but it looks like an improved version of the original one (by Chris Sawyer), specifically with the multiplayer mode. They did add a couple of gameplay features though, you could now build canals. I didn't get to use this before so this is new to me. Two new airport types have been added too. Also, there's a Multistop feature where two or more bus stations/truck depots have the same name, similar to Locomotion. I just wish that the features and flow of the UI in Locomotion, Transport Giant and OpenTTD be combined to one super kickass transport management simulation game. Yeah baby!
