BleepCast – Level 4
Posted in BleepCast, Games, Retro
This is a rather personal episode of the BleepCast and deals with the first games I had been playing when I was a little kid and how my love for chipmusic eventually evolved over the years. I take you back to the 1980′s once again: You know the time, but most of you won’t know the place: My brain. Enjoy music from the C64, early PCs and some ramblings from my youth. If you don’t like it… then you’re a poo-poo-head!

BleepCast – Level 3
Posted in BleepCast, Computing, Games
This all new episode of the BleepCast deals with gamifications of great movie scores. If you were already alive in the 80′s, going to the movies or just watching classic flicks from the 80′s on your VCR you probably had once the urge to become Indiana Jones, Marty McFly or Luke Skywalker yourself. Then you just had to go out (yes, I know, that’s the hardest part in the life of a nerd) and get yourself one of the games that had licensed movie content among them, and usually some crappy game as well. Although sometimes you would be surprised by actually real good games…

BleepCast — Level 3: Delayed
Posted in BleepCast
Hey folks! I’m sorry but I have bad news: Since I am in the yummy crunch time of a time-crunching critical project, I have to put working on the upcoming level of the BleepCast on hold. So my apologies to all my many loyal listeners (thanks Conny & Jürgen!). Some time next week the new BleepCast will launch, nevertheless, and deal with the broad topic of games after movies and some additional tit-bits tidbits of random trivia, served ice-cold — just for you! Until then: Let’s kick some ice!

BleepCast – Level 2

This new episode of the BleepCast is all about ninjas, the sneaky Japanese spies that overran games & movies in the 80′s and have either gradually disappeared or gradually perfected their stealth since their first appearance in 1983 on the CoCo. A shinobi may be silent but their quests have always been accompanied by some epic exotic scores. Let’s follow the ninja and listen to his melodies.

Flattr: June’s Cake
Posted in Dear Diary, Random Thoughts
I like Flattr. I like the idea of it: Flatter people with a click that is the digital equivalent of a coin ringing in a tip-jar. And for some reason it became customary to blog about how much you made past month. You get tipped, and you tip yourself. It’s social. No surprise: It’s from Sweden. They compare it to having a piece of birthday cake and giving a slice to everybody you want to flatter. The more people you flattr, the smaller the slices get. At the end of the month it’s payday: Everyone on Flattr empties their jars and counts the coins. There are people who had an income of more than 500 €, the are many more people who had about 10 € by the end of the day. And now I am going to spill the beans myself.

There it is, what you haven’t been waiting for ever since: The BleepCast podcast is all about chip-music, retro gaming and memories from the good old times when we all were young and begun having no life, instead indulging in shitty games with shitty music, or as we call it: “Classics with epic soundtracks”. So if you want me to take you back to the past to play the shitty games that suck ass, then you just discovered your favorite podcast!
