1st - Hello, Source ports and android, Chiptunes, Laptop

Hello, my name is cire. I am making this blog because I am bad at English and seriously need to get some writing practice. I have absolutely no idea what to write about so the subject of the blog will keep changing.


Source ports and android

I have recently managed to get a lot of id software games to run on android, and I think this is rather interesting and I think that if anyone wants to get into playing old games then this is a good start. There are only two that I'm having a bit of trouble with at the moment and that is doom and hexen 2. It's most likely because the game says it needs to download a file before starting. This is only a problem because the internet connection I'm currently using blocks all ports. Here is a link to ports of these android source ports (must have legit game files as well)[http://www.beloko.com/?page=games]. I recommend all the ports for the doom engine and wolfenstein. I have not yet as explained earlier tried the hexen 2 source port yet so cannot comment on that. I'm sure the ports would be fine for the rtcw and quake games as well, but I use something different for them. For these games I use the 4a ports (4 android)[https://play.google.com/store/search?q=proger10]. These games are ported very well, they may however have trouble running on some newer phones (believe me I've tried). If you can get it to work then it's definitely worth using.


Chiptunes

With some food it takes you a while before you start to like it. Chiptunes are like this, an acquired taste in music. They use custom software on an old games console to directly control the sound chip. some of the artists I recommend:

Trash80 [http://trash80.com/#/music]
Nullsleep [http://www.nullsleep.com/]
Nordloef [https://nordloef.bandcamp.com/] (I really like the small wonders remix)
Chipzel [http://chipzel.co.uk/]
Knife City [http://knifecity.bandcamp.com/album/precious-jewel-ep] (BAD LANGUAGE)


Laptop

I am currently using the asus eeebook. It was a pretty good price (£150). They said it couldn't do games. They lied. It can run Bit.Trip presents runner 2 future legend of rythm alien (2013 (and yes that's it's name)) 70 fps at 1000 by 900 or something like that, loading times are a bit long. But still it works and works well.

I think that'll be it for today's post, I've written enough and have run out of ideas. Cya next time
