My Saturday is off to a good start, I modded my Lotus Turbo Esprit loading screen into a title for an article in Revija Joker (the biggest Slovenian gaming magazine). The title says New games for old systems.

This was a nice nostalgic jump to 2000s when this was my college job. Here are some of the best ones (that I’m still semi-proud of). 

Article about Doom (Through hell to Doom):

Article about Blizzcon (Elves, the Protoss, railguns):

Article about getting your consoles online (Consoles and the Internet: spider webs in the living room):

Article about lasers (Lenses of horror):

Article about booth babes at E3 (Babes³ … for the lack of a slightly derogatory expression):

Title screen for the magazine’s DVD (called something like The Stuffed), issue 166 that had a Pirates of the Caribbean trailer on it:

Note that those were the days before YouTube and it wasn’t as easy to watch trailers online (especially outside the cities where broadband was not a thing). My job as editor of the DVD was to go to apple.com, download ALL the movie trailers that came out in the previous month (I would spend a weekend watching close to 100 trailers) and then choose a dozen that fit with our gaming audience. And then I would repeat the same thing with game trailers.

Moving on … Article about running Linux on PS3 (Penguinstation):

Article about power consumption (Taxes of electron gnomes):

Article about how 3D models work (Polygon worlds):

Article about XNA framework (Renaissance of garage games):

Article about the history of programing (Programing retrospective):

An article about fighting games (Punchman):

Article about the Ultima series (The ultimate Ultima):

Sometimes I did article illustrations as well as titles. Here’s one from an article about bullet physics that I hid sprites from ZX Spectrum’s High Noon into:

I also made this shitty Guitar Hero GIF for the magazine’s webpage:

And finally, the cover of issue 143. This was the version for the DVD edition where I made all the women naked (subscribers to the CD edition were left deprived of pixel boobies):

This cover is the one single reason I do pixel art today as it coincided with a how-to article about pixel art that I wrote (Pixeling):

Before writing it I researched the pixel art scene, fell in love with eBoy, Army of Trolls, Gas 13 … This was 2005 and I would leave pixel art alone while finishing my degree in Computer Science. In 2012 I returned to make the Tribute poster out of this cover and never looked back.

How to steal a penguin..

To steal a penguin the best time is probably the night time when the park is closed, As there is not a lot of traffic in there. since the penguins are only separated by a fence i do not believe that i have to access the facility. However, getting in the park is a challenge. In order to get access to the park i would probably get a job in the park as security personal or a staff member. so that i have access to the park while it is closed to public. Since i will be security guard i do not have to worry about getting past the security. 

In order, to remain undecided i will probably hide my personal and use gloves as my identity is kept hidden. Furthermore, the easiest way to transport the penguin would be through gym bag. which i believe no one would suspect. in order to avoid the suspicion that no penguin is napping has taken place the penguin could be replaced with another penguin or since a lot can not differentiate the difference between penguins. it could be replaced with a dead penguin where everyone would think a penguin has died and nothing serious has occurred.
