Tranny or Granny

Monday, March 5th, 2007

Haven’t made an either/or quiz in three years or so, so I thought - like a dog returns to his vomit - I’d have another go.

As this is my blog, rather than the B3ta Newsletter, I’ll give you some geeky background that I wouldn’t normally bore people with as no one gives a shit.

  • I’ve rejigged the javascript back-end so that one bit of code now controls all the either/or games such as Female or Shemale and Man milk or Moo Milk.
  • The code no supports image reveals. Not that essential in Tranny or Granny, but might be useful in the future.
  • New layout - using the width of the screen rather than a big scroll.
  • Spent a fair bit of time making the backing music. Found that Garageband is bloody awesome. It allows me to make quick music ideas without fighting the technology.

    Anyways, If you want to play, the click the magic URL: http://www2.b3ta.com/bigquiz/trannyorgranny/

    Retro scarf competition

    Friday, November 24th, 2006

    Back in the distant past (B3ta Newsletter 84) I asked our readers this:

    Sometimes I fill this section of the newsletter with whimsey, sometimes bad jokes and sometimes nuggets of good ideas that I simply can’t be arsed to persue myself.

    So imagine my (belated) surprise when B3ta boarder Account88888 got in touch to say he’d actually gone and made some and would I fancy giving away a few via the site?

    Figuring this was a great opportunity to get some free scarfs for winter, how could I say no?

    I thought long and hard about doing a fantastic photoshoot, and then thought, fuck it, I’ll just take a couple of snaps with them drapped around some old computers.

    First off is a Scramble themed scarf, keeping a Cambridge Computers Z88 toasty and warm.

    Secondly we’ve got a Space Invaders one making sure that the Spectrum +2 doesn’t get a cold interface this Christmas.

    Anyway. I’ve got three to give away to B3ta readers. All you have to do is complete this exciting tie-breaker in 15 words or less and add it as a comment on this very blog post.

    “I love 8-bit gaming because…”

    And if you can’t be arsed with bollocks compos then maybe you’d like to buy one via B2D4.

    WINNERS!

    Yay, we’ve got three people that B2D4 reckon are the tops, and they’re getting a scarf each.

    • I’ve never been called a n00b playing missile command… (soscynicalsohip)
    • 10 REM SCARF COMPETITION HACK FOR INFINATE WARMTH
      20 POKE 0121,666
      30 SYS 2059
      RUN (monkeon)
    • I love 8-bit gaming because thats where I learned that men love a girl who’s a computer nerd….but not one who can beat them every time. So a scarf would keep me warm on all those victorious yet lonely nights. (onlythegirl)
