30 days of video games day 2 (favorite character)
Yes, I am necroposting a dead meme in my dead tumblr :3
30 Days of Video Games: Day 1
Day 1 - Very First Video Game
(Maybe this meme is supposed to line up to a certain date, like Christmas or New Years or something, but I don’t care, I’m going to do it anyway.)
So, the very first video game? Helicopter Rescue on the Odyssey 2.
My parents were arcade nerds back in the day. We had a Magnavox Odyssey 2, and my dad showed me some of the games when I must have been like 3 or 4. I remember Helicopter Rescue had some weird controls, but I thought it was the coolest game on the console because you could control a helicopter, and the Hockey/Soccer games were a little bit retarded. I also remember lots of Intellivision and Atari 2600 games, but I’m pretty sure Helicopter Rescue was the first.
Command Line Adventures I
Have you ever unzipped a bunch of archives to separate folders, and then realized they had folders with the archive’s name already in them? Basically you end up with redundant directories (“folder/folder/files” instead of “folder/files”). Not clean, not organized, and it “hides” the thumbnails if the folder contains pictures.
Don’t waste hours in Explorer cleaning this up by hand. You can automate it using DOS Batch files.
Paste the following line into a text editor (ie. Notepad), and save it as “moveup.bat”. If using Notepad make sure you select “All Files” from the drop-down or it will save as text.
FOR /D %%A IN (“*”) DO FOR /D %%B IN (“%%A\*”) DO MOVE “%%B\*.*” “%%A"
Place this in the root folder containing the redundant folders. If the files are in “C:\foo\folder\folder\files.txt”, put moveup.bat in “C:\foo". You may want to make a folder for doing this to keep it from damaging other folders that share the directory. Then click on moveup.bat to execute the script. You can also run this by typing that line in CMD.EXE, but you’ll need to change each double %% to a single %, and make sure you don’t run it from C:/ or you will screw your computer up very, very badly.
Updated: Oh crap, tumblr, screw your tilted artsy quote marks. It’s supposed to just be regular quote marks! (“) Not “h” and “g” :P
