AGC 85 August 30 2008 (GenCon and More) (1:14:12)
With Mark Kinney, Carol, Ben Balestra, and the RPG Buffet. Polymancer is launching Paladin, a fantasy gaming magazine. Mark gushes about GenCon and some of his finds there. Carol sends in an interview with Andrew Peregrine from Cubicle 7 about Victoriana (apologies for the sound quality on that one), and Mark brings an interview with Mark Purvis and Andy Smith, brand managers of Magic: The Gathering about the upcoming Shards of Alara and a few other upcoming things. Ben sends his views on GenCon, and we continue catching up with the RPG Buffet and their look at the Marvel Universe RPG. Mark looks inside the box of the upcoming Formula D! The show's direction with the forthcoming GenCon material.

From Mags:
One important addendum that our GM, John, forgot to mention when we recorded the segment:

A big feature of the Marvel Universe system that's stressed in the rules is that it can be played without a GM. A pair of players or even two teams can simply create characters and have a combat without the need for a GM to direct activities. So if players are simply looking for a combat session and not a full storyline with plot and character development, MURG gives them that option.


JULY 2008 RECIPE

The RPG Buffet had it's annual cookout this month, and Kae--who is not only learning to GM, but learning to cook--came up with a tasty fruit salad recipe for our dessert:

KAE'S FRUIT SALAD

Ingredients

* 3 oranges
* 2 key limes
* 1 pint of strawberries
* 2 bananas


Peel and chop the oranges and limes, and wash and cap the strawberries. Toss together in a bowl and chill for at least an hour. Just before serving, peel and slice the bananas and toss with the rest of the fruit.

Optional Glaze: Mix 1/4 cup of water or orange juice with 1 tablespoon of honey. After adding the bananas, pour over fruit and toss gently.

Ep0173: Configuring Pulse Audio
Klaatu and notJlindsay discuss Pulse Audio and how to configure it so it doesn't bork your system. One thing Klaatu fails to mention is that before you try any of this, you should just run whatever software updates may be available for your OS. Pulse configuration and compatability seems to be improving rapidly over time, so many thing may \"fix themselves\" by simply making sure your distro is up to date.

Ep0163: Circuit Bending
HPR Circuit Bending http://www.expertvillage.com/video-series/5058_circuit-bending-audio.htm http://www.expertvillage.com/video-series/4432_circuit-bending.htm Circuit bending is the creative, DIY (Do It Yourself) short-circuiting of electronic devices such as low voltage, battery-powered guitar effects, children's toys and small digital synthesizers to create new musical instruments and sound generators. Emphasizing spontaneity and randomness, the techniques of circuit bending have been commonly associated with noise music, though many more conventional contemporary musicians and musical groups have been known to experiment with \"bent\" instruments. Circuit benders remove the rear panel and connect circuits on a trial and error basis. More experienced benders use a soldering iron and add other components such as potentiometers, resistors or capacitors, which creates an even broader range of sounds.

Ep0162: Webkit
Jza, Andymeows, and riddebox have a improvised discussion about an article in the July issue of Linux Journal, called \"Using Webkit In Your Desktop Application.\" pg 54 - 58. Linux Journal = www.linuxjournal.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit What is webkit? It has a LGPL license Webkit is an open source application framework that provides a foundation upon which to build a web browser. It was originally derived from the konqueror browser's khtml software library by Apple Inc. for use in Safari. You can use Designer to create a nice gui and use the classes for QtWebKit inside it. Which means that you can drag and drop forms and create the gui real fast. The best part of QtWebKit is that you can pull stuff from the internet for you applications. In the article they created an app that will download the pdf files from past issues for you. With a nice search feature for their website. Examples of applications using Webkit: Adium Colloquy MSN Messenger Mac OS X's Dashboard The IPhone uses it as well
