Game Mashups
The latest thing with AI wazzocks is to decompile games and try to mash them up by putting Spider-Man into a Batman game or whatever. Let's show them how it's done by also combining two games, but as jpgs so people can still imagine what they'd be like without burning the planet on a half-arsed demo.

"81 Jokes For The ZX81" - A book by Rob Manuel - The thing about running B3ta is none of it is sane, you know that right? Running this website for 25 years isn't the actions of someone who runs projects rationally. And it's not rational to be seized by the idea of making a joke book with this title, and then illustrating it myself, the hard way, by not cheating with AI, or compositing, and just placing char after char onto a grid to make pictures. Do buy it as really I've put so much work into it and I do think it's pretty entertaining, and I've even showed it around to notable people (read on the link) and bullied them into agree it's quite fun too. Twenty quid. Perfect for Christmas and it really is, coz you can read it in about 30 mins, pissed, and the font is big enough for eyesight that cares about things like ZX81s.

Sport Music
