General Discussion / Re: Casual Pixel Art Encounters
« on: July 08, 2012, 08:44:56 pm »
I managed to fit in some retro pixel work during the great week I just had.
It's my attempt at a revamp of the Amstrad CPC version of the old RoboCop game. Same resolution and colour count as the original but I gone for a gritty, street riot theme. Since there's only one grey and one brown (dark red) on CPC I had to improvise for that dingey, 'realistic' colour scheme but I think it came out well.
That's doubled up with scanlines cos that's how I view games when playing on emulators. Simply remove "_scan" from the address name for a regular sized version without the scanlines if you want.
Original game can be seen at http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=1815 and I still enjoy it and think it looked decent for it's time but could have looked better. Though to be fair the 16 bit versions on Amiga and Atari St looked pretty poor considering what they were capable of.
Not even sure I've posted this in right place, hehe.

Are you serious? Even if that were remotely true I haven't said anything derogatory about her, she's a lovely girl and even if I had done the chances of her coming to a pixel art forum are very remote indeed.

Yup. She's still coming to see the play. She was coming to see it even before we met cos she likes plays and also likes Anglesey Abbey where we're performing. She can now watch the play with the knowledge that she totally made out with one of it's 'stars'.

Nope. I thought that was 'allowed' in the early stages. Not that I'm an expert in dating rules or have ever dated more than one person at once myself (heck, it's rare I even get one person to date at a time). It was only a week. Too short to have expected exclusiveness or whatever you call it.
(ok, most of my limited knowledge of dating comes from the TV show 'Friends')

Well, I'd still like to be friends with her. I don't often meet someone I can have a proper conversation with and seem to have a similar way of thinking and laugh a lot together so I'd like to keep that in my life even if we don't get to have a repeat of friday's kiss-fest and if nothing else I had two really lovely dates to remember. Can always use more happy memories in my mind. I just could have done without my confidence level being raised and knocked the weekend before I do my play. Ah well, I'm a different person in the play anyways so it hopefully shouldn't matter too much.

Well it was nice while it lasted. Girl I was seeing was dating someone else too and even though we had a fantastic afternoon on friday she chose him. Easy come easy go. Least I still got my lottery money. And I'm off to the primary school my friend works at tomorrow to speak with the headmaster about becoming a teaching assistant. It'll be volunteer work at first as I'm not qualified but I reckon I'd enjoy it anyways.

I don't risk cooking for anybody. I don't mind doing it for myself cos then it's just me I'm causing pain and repeated trips to the toilet to. If I can use this money to get driving and find a new job then I can afford a new oven. My current one is part of the reason every meal I cook in it tends to be awful.

I'm really not. It's a game of luck so there's no point telling myself "oh I should have picked thaat number as my sixth or bonus ball". Why dwell on the numbers I didn't manage to guess? I got 5 of them right and that's given me a hell of a lot more money than I had before and is a huge help in my current situation. Most weeks I'd be lucky to get the £10 for getting 3 of them and instead of I'm one of the 282 people in the UK who's got 1412 more pounds than I had the day before so I'm really pleased with my winnings and hey, I can always play again.
