Weird you mention this just when I picked up this BBC Radiophonic Workshop CD of tracks they did in the 60s with even more primative electronic instruments than analog synthesizers. I just read how some of the staff left when synthesizers came along because they didn't like it. I like it though. Definitely conjures the 70s for me, for sure.
I just returned Poochie & Yoshi's Woolly World to Gamefly today and looked over my list. It's possible they may send me DQ8 next. I wouldn't mind. I want to see what it looks lik eon my 3DS after all these years.
I watched a few of the first episodes to see if I would like it. I did. I love the scifi elements. Super cool! You wouldn't see those sorts of things in dull old American animated films.
The ones on PC are a little more hardcore sims. This is a more streamlined kind of game for the console plebs (as I was called recently). It's fine, I like things a little more casual. I got enough deep thinking going on as it is.
No. The animals just lay down as if sleeping and then one of them gets up prego. I noticed during the hosing down sequences that the animals are not anatomically correct. I guess that's for the better, but isn't it part of the zoo experience to be shocked by the wild behavior of the animals? I remember one time, this monkey was playing with his. . . well, never mind. At least I got to pick up the poo. 
I just looked at the wiki for it. Apparently this Zoo Tycoon game on X360 and XBO is by a different developer than the ones on PC done earlier. . . Frontier Developments. They made Screamride and Planet Coaster, a game talked about recently on Idle Thumbs podcast that I wish was on consoles.
I'm trying to become Goku in real life, so I have no time to see it, but my friend Mark will likely have seen it. I'll have to ask him about it tomorrow.
I hear ya. I have a beer for lunch and I'm depressed as hell at work later on. I had to stop that.
I still have a diet soda on the weekend and a chocolate bar that's 70% cacao. Apprently the sugar content is much lower on chocolate 70% cacao and higher. I don't like 80 or 90% cacao bars though. Too darn bitter. 70 is ok though.
Here's a 1968 mainframe computer:
You need this room sized computer to make a text-based game.
Now you could run it easily on this Micro Mote:
Ha ha ha! That's a penny. Ha ha.
I got a Ninja blender for Xmas a year or two ago and went through a smoothy crazy for a while. That was fun. I should get back on that.
I've cut back on so many things the last year or two. I was talking ice cream with a co-worker today and I realized I hadn't touched the stuff in years. I'm kind of scared of ice cream now. Don't think I'll try any.
