“And as I sat there brooding on the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night. Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future

The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit Sloan Wilson 370 pages At a moment in his life, Tom Rath decides that the time has come to forget everything and start over from scratch. He tells himself that the fact that one has killed a lot of men in the war does not mean anything, because the time has come to have children and earn money, dress properly, be affectionate towards his wife, admire his boss and learn not to worry. Tom Rath is the man in the grey flannel suit, the main character of a novel that

The Extra Man Jonathan Ames 375 pages Principal de los Libros There are days when the sun shines with such benign intensity that it seems as if nothing bad can happen. When you are walking down the street, imagination flies and you become the main character in your own movie; imaginary dialogues that would almost deserve to be written down just as they are made up in our heads; and life, in spite of its roughness and inherently tragic quality, seems merely an adventure. This wonderful feeling of

Watch Dogs es la propuesta de siguiente generación más reciente de Ubisoft, la compañía que nos ha traído series como Assasin’s Creed y Splinter Cell, entre otros, y que ahora viene tratando de “hackear” el gusto de los jugadores, pero, ¿lo logrará? En Watch Dogs tomamos el rol de Aiden Pearce, un hacker que ha... El post Un vistazo a Watch Dogs. aparece primero en Binario.

¿Cuántas veces han comprado unos audífonos de precio considerable que temen guardar en sus mochilas o llevar de viaje porque se “sienten” frágiles? Los Motorheadphones Bomber, aunque tienen un precio algo elevado (especialmente en México), son los audífonos más rudos que he probad0o. En todo sentido. Motörhead, la ya legendaria y aún vigente banda de […] El post Motörheadphones Bomber, los audífonos para metaleros aparece primero en Binario.

Space Panic is an arcade platform game, released by Universal in November 1980. Space Panic isn’t just any platform game. Space Panic is the first platform game. Ever. Take a moment to appreciate that. The gameplay of Space Panic is fairly simple. The player character is an astronaut with a shovel and a horde of [...]

Signos by Mauricio Diaz Garcia is an entry in the 2012 ifcomp in which the player seeks enlightenment. (This post contains spoilers. Read at your own risk.) I had a great deal of trouble with this one. The version I was initially playing didn’t function at all correctly–the pictures weren’t displayed and the sound didn’t [...]

Escape From Summerland by Jenny Roomy and Jasmine Lavages is an entry in the 2012 ifcomp with multiple player characters, set in an amusement park. (This post contains spoilers. Read at your own risk.) This game had some real promise. The idea of allowing the player to switch between multiple player characters isn’t, of course, [...]

Indudablemente es una cámara excepcional. Subsana todos los principales defectos que los usuarios de la MarkII dedicados a la videograbación hemos ido detectando y reclamando como prestaciones necesarias. Ahora bien, ¿será una digna competidora calidad-precio de la Mark III? ¿Y la Mark III dejará de ser un rumor en breve o seguirá siendo la gran esperada por los Canonistas? Somos muchos los

A simple vista parece que Nikon ha ganado esta partida y eso es lo interesante de la competencia que unos se ponen las pilas a otros y los usuarios nos aprovechamos. A falta de algún que otro riguroso análisis en profundidad para poder juzgar con criterio parece que Nikon ha sabido escuchar con más tino al colectivo de creadores audiovisuales que Canon. La cual tras el fracaso de su linea Eos

Todo comenzó junto con el lanzamiento por parte de Apple del nuevo sistema operativo LION. Comenzaron a correr como la polvora los comentarios en la red de los muchos problemas de este nuevo SO con el software de la casa Adobe. Esto me hizo esperar a que la cosa mejorara con las previsibles actualizaciones del SO. Trás tres actualizaciones, y habiéndose corregido los bugs y errores con Adobe,

[SPOILER ALERT] Game Of Thrones se despide por este año como solo ellos saben hacerlo. Dejándonos con muchas ganas para la tercera temporada, abriendo tramas que se prevén muy interesantes. Pero en vez de hablar de lo que vendrá, hablemos de lo que ha pasado. Repite conmigo “Valar Morghulis” y [...]

The Guns of Fort Defiance is a 1981 game reminiscent of Artillery, published by Avalon Hill. I’m playing the 1982 Commodore 64 port. Fort Defiance, according to the game, is an incomplete fort, and you must defend its unfinished eastern wall against an invading army, by ordering that your artillery be loaded with certain ammunition, [...]

Space Lanes is a Commodore 64 and VIC-20 collect ‘em up by Robert Alonso. In the future, Earth is in dire need of fuel, and it’s your job to pilot your spaceship through the space lanes, collecting fuel while avoiding laser fire from the invisible KOPEC robots. Like Pac-Man, you move around a maze collecting [...]

Towers of Hanoi by Daniel Miller is a 1985 Tower of Hanoi game for the Commodore 64. This is just your standard Tower of Hanoi game, with a couple of differences: first, it doesn’t seem to be able to tell when you’ve won, instead requiring the player to press F1 to quit; second, pressing F1 [...]

Stack by Glenn W. Zuch is a 1985 Tower of Hanoi game for the Commodore 64 with stunningly bad design. I’ve opened this on a rather strong assertion, but it’s really deserved. For all the games I’ve reviewed so far, the worst thing you could really say about them was that they were unoriginal, boring, [...]

In 1984, a final (to my knowledge) update to Glen Fisher’s Hanoi was released, also called Hanoi. The gameplay is identical to its predecessors from 1978 and 1980. The only difference is that this 1984 version includes color–quite a bit more than the 1980 version, and in contrast to the monochromatic 1978 version. I suppose [...]

Hanoin Tornit is a variation on the Tower of Hanoi puzzle, published as a type-in game in the March 1984 issue of the Finnish magazine MikroBitti. Hanoin Tornit is a little different from the usual Tower of Hanoi puzzle. It’s got an additional restriction: the discs may only be moved to adjacent stacks. This makes [...]

Poco me podía imaginar lo mucho que iba a evolucionar esta serie cuando vi aquel fantástico tráiler de la primera temporada. Lo que parecía un producto espectacular pero sin trasfondo, se ha rebelado con un buen ejercicio de guión y una historia que, una vez terminada esta segunda temporada, [...]
