There hasn't been many console's released that you can't find SOMETHING good on (least none that I can think of). The platform's I generally enjoy least are some LaserDisc games or Atari console. Fav Atari game is probably Joust.

Right now it is just getting familiar with the code base and a lot of nuances of it and the features of Launchbox and Big Box that I'm not real familiar with. I DO work around 8-5 but Jason is flexible with my hours so I can address life as it happens pretty comfortably.

Not a secret if I TELL you....

It's a play on my name. I used it because I couldn't get the email I wanted with GMail. Just has stuck ever since.

See, the power to post is not one to be taken lightly. You have caught a glimpse into what can happen when drunk with that power. It is a reminder to us all to be ever vigilant in our struggles keeping this monster of a responsibility in check.

Need to be careful how you word your requests... @Jason Carr probably saw the word "hang" and will now being hanging my from my toes... Thanks in advance...

I see now that I have amassed a FOLLOWING! I thank you kind trendsetters for joining me on this journey. I must warn you that the path before us is a long and treacherous one. Some moments will be GLORIOUS, others a complete train-wreck. I can only guarantee you one thing.... It'll be one HECK of a ride! Buckle up, hold on tight, and lets see where this venture takes us!

Much obliged. Not sure about CHOPPING lines of code. Launchbox is Jason's baby, I start chopping off limbs, he'd very quickly chop of my head. While I am not the fairest in the land I have grown quite attached to my dome and would prefer not to do something that would jeopardize it's existence!

Thank you, I am sure you will bore of me soon enough.

My humble suggestion would be to use Big Box in locked mode. You can then go into Big Box -> Options -> Security and turn on Exit while locked. It would then be the only option you see.

You can bug whomever, whether it results in the answers you seek that I cannot promise. Jason does allow me some freedom in regards to what I work on but I still have a honey-do list I have to tackle. If it's not on that list the odds of me getting to it aren't great. Because of that Jason still may be the best to suck up to.

What do you mean? African or European swallow?

Edited OP to reflect new rank.

I can assure you friend, asking for a glimpse into this mind and the dreams it thinks up can be a bit of a double-edged sword. Be careful what you ask for. To be honest. I purchased the license for Big Box but I don't use it as much as I planned to. I haven't gotten a dedicated Big Box build complete yet because I had to focus my resources else where. Once I get it though it will be really nice to show off. A lot of the features make it easier for my children to use then standard Launchbox does as well which I have used it for too. SNES is probably my favorite console/generation. I also love me a good Scumm throwback. I currently don't have a dedicated gaming rig. My rig wears many hats simultaneously, GameMaster is one of them.

Aww man... I gotta get serious? Fine... Quite frankly I was presented with an opportunity to leave a job I already didn't enjoy to work from home on a product I use and love. Was a no-brainer. I applied thinking it'd just be cool to talk to Jason, see the man behind the curtain sort of thing. One of those, "Wouldn't it be awesome to just get a chance..." moments. I looked forward to being able to flex my programming skills on a product I enjoy. Having a community as cool as this one standing behind the product also is pretty awesome. There is also the added benefit that I secretly get to add in features I've been wanting for a while but couldn't add since I didn't have the source. Now I get a chance to be a little greedy, MUHAHAHAHA!

A man (or woman) willing to get his (or her) nose dirty to get what he (or she) wants. I like it.

Only once, though it is only so I can till the field and water his gardens.

They need time to contemplate. there could be serious ramifications in giving this new and unproven individual so much power! What if he turns out to be some ego driven tyrant drunk with his newly acquired power? They would forever be known for helping this horrible person rise to power! What if he turns out to be some enlightened kindhearted soul sent to re-leave them of what ever ails their Launchbox related woes, and when given the chance you simply asked, "Do you like games?". This is a task to be approached cautiously and carefully. One does not proceed haphazardly when approached with such a dilemma...

*readies the holy water*

SOOOoooo it is a LITTLE awkward being the new developer and having the forum title of "1-Bit Wonder" and APPARENTLY @Jason Carr doesn't have a magic "Make me awesome" command built into the back-end (or is just hazing the new guy) and claims I must EARN a more appropriate title. In an effort to correct this injustice I have created this thread. Together we can help me don my proper title of "128-Bit Self Aware"! "How can this ONE thread do ALL of this?" you may ask. Some may even say, "Count me in! How can I help?" It is simple. You (yes YOU) hiding in your cave of curiosity, simply come forth and ask a question of the new guy. I will respond, I MAY even be truthful. As we do this my forum cred will grow and SOON I will have the title I deserve! Edit: Thanks to your efforts I have reached "Rank 4 - Adder"! We cannot however rest on our new found laurels. We must press on! We cannot stop until I have claimed the title rightfully mine! Edit2: AH HA! I am beginning to feel the effects of your efforts, my power is growing! I have obtained the title, " 8-Bit Processor". As grand as this accomplishment it is merely a stepping stone in my path, ONWARD!

*Insert quirky/funny anecdote or story about my arrival*

Thanks all.
