that reminds me that techtv (maybe into the g4 days?) actually had shows on modding tivos and og xboxes a time when they actually had shows about tech, and didn't just show reruns of COPS 20 hours a day (stoner/unemployed tv lol)

I remember seeing an episode of screensavers on techtv once that was explaining 1D/2D/3D graphics. the only g4 stuff I remember at all was being the tv equivalent of a GameStop in-store video ad

8-bit guy was always deeply uncharismatic which is also not great if you put yourself on camera

he does still get invited to speak at retro computing events and treated like an authority by other youtubers though, which probably just shows how little anyone watches his stuff but they remember he's one of them

3D Megadoodoo posted:8-bit guy was always deeply uncharismatic which is also not great if you put yourself on camera my biggest gripe with 8-bit guy is that the interior in his new studio shack is god-awful the color palette used makes you seem like you're in a hospital in the early 90s, and everyone looks sick "oh my god i didn't know he had late stage lymphoma" "oh never mind he's just filming in his shack again"

Sagebrush posted:what is 1D graphics? a strip of LEDs? if I’m remembering correctly they described it as two blocks that could only move left and right on the screen. not exactly accurate since the blocks themselves had two dimensions, but they seemed to be explaining it in terms of movement since 2D was defined as having vertical movement as well and 3D having movement on the z-axis. this would have been back in like 1998 or 1999
