May. 21st, 2013 07:44 amBrian finally came over last night. Robby went to pick him up somewhere, and Adam also came by with the two of them. He would've come by earlier, but the trains all had to be shut down earlier yesterday due to a collision between two of them.
Shortly after they arrived, Brian got around to reading an email I sent him, and brought me outside to describe all kinds of stuff about resolution and how computers get better every year. Long story short, if one wants to aim for Retreaux while making a video game, they could start off with a default resolution and then scale it down after it's all done (in my case, to 320x240).
Came back inside, and noticed that Robby and Adam were watching Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I told him how I remember watching that at the movie theater with my parents and Grandma Ella five years ago, while the two of them were out fishing, and pulled up the relevant blog entry. That time being the weekend that Marie graduated from high school, I also showed him the entry before that one, and promised to link to all three entries from that whole weekend. So, here they are:

As of this morning, Brian has just had to leave, but I sent him another reminder to write his thoughts about my Earthbound trilogy post. He tells me that he had written two paragraphs about that before, but then lost it and had kept forgetting to get around to it given how busy his life is. He is still interested in taking another shot at it, though, and I wouldn't keep reminding him if he wasn't, especially given how much a favorite Earthbound is of his.
