Totally Sidetalk'n!!!!

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

Ok, TheBigJ mentioned it in [url="http://www.sumea.com.au/sprofile.asp?member=181"]his Sumea journal[/url] (He scored an N-Gage at the AGDC [:)]), and I think it deserves a mention here. I found about Totally Sidetalk'n in the topic header at the Sumea irc channel - I've sent the url to some of my friends, and they think it's a total crack up.

The site to visit is http://www.sidetalkin.com/ , and the reason for the website is due to the peculiar way you have to use the N-Gage as a phone - you have to tilt the phone to the side and talk through there. There's some seriously tragic geeks on the site, and some amusing pictures too (people sticky taping their consoles and mobile phones together and pressing it against their ears).

TOTALLY SIDETALKIN' THE PLACE TO BE UNTIL TUESDAY AT BEST

I had the chance to check out the N-Gage at the local EB Store. It had the game Pandemonium on it (3D sideway platformer). It didn't look tooo bad, but the controls were definately iffy.

Yeah, but I guess if you are walking around and have it in your pocket and its starts to ring, your not gonna bother getting all the handsfree stuff out just to answer it. Well I wouldn't anyway [:p]
