@chris_e_simpson and this probably serves as a regular reminder to the Mastodon community at large:

1) If you have not seen John Carpenter's cinematic masterpiece "Big Trouble in Little China" - I am immensely jealous of you. Why, you may ask? Because you now have the opportunity, for the first time, to watch this mystical journey into the mystic world of San Fransisco's 1980's Chinatown, that will ensure that you remember what ol; Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. There's likely a myriad of ways at your disposal to enjoy this gem - you probably shouldn't waste any more time reading this and simply get to watching this film.

2) If you have watched John Carpenter's cinematic masterpiece "Big Trouble in Little China" - well - it's probably time for a re-watch - isn't it?

I don't know why, but when I think of the best #film #villain or bad guy, #AlSwearengen from #Deadwood always comes to mind first. Absolutely fantastically developed and portrayed. #LoPan is also a blast, even if it's not as multi-layered. #filmsky #tvsky #hbo

Shisen-Seki and Lopan – Two Mahjong Games for AmigaOS 4

Hi everyone,

During the last week or so, quite a few uploads of interesting software has reached OS4Depot. Amongst these are two game ports from Daniel Jedlicka a.k.a Trixie and George Sokianos a.k.a. Walkero.

If you enjoy a session of Mahjong, I think you will be right at home with Shisen-Seki and Lopan.

Shisen-Seki is a game of Shisen-Sho, a Japanese logic game using Mahjong stones. The goal is to remove all the stones from the table by matching pairs with the same face. According to the instructions, you can only match stones if they can be joined by three or fewer lines. Each line must be either horizontal or vertical and can’t cross other stones on the board. Also, not all games are solvable. The game was created by Artur Rojek (zear) (code and fonts) and Joe Vargas (jxv) (graphics). Port was done by Trixie and Walkero as mentioned earlier. The game should run on all AmigaOS 4 setups.

Lopan is also a game that is similar to Mahjong. The goal here is to remove all the pieces from the table. The game was created by Dave Ashley and ported to AmigaOS 4 by Trixie. It should work on all AmigaOS 4 setups like Shisen-Seki.

If you’d like to try these games, please visit OS4Depot via the links below:

The only time I #beheld (ie in person) Mr #JamesHong was at the #Burbank Media Center Mall

I was there to see the #IronGiant on a big screen many years before I got my first #HDTV

I got there early and chose to wait near the main entrance where they had the largest carousel I was aware of in LA

While I was watching the crowd lined up for next ride I noticed Mr Hong walking towards me before veering towards the theatre escalators

Being a bigger movie fan than #Tarantino, I recognized him immediately from the many movie roles Id seen him in and thought he looked a lot taller as #LoPan

#BigTroubleInLittleChina has been one of my all time fav movies since seeing it in a theatre

I attempted a discreet little wave of my hand on the rail when he glanced my way but observed no reaction

The IG turned out to be among the best 2D animated movies made in last 30 years

Throughout the remainder of August 2023 I'm taking commissions for donations to support Maui wildfire relief efforts. Thanks to @JerichoTaskerDeaux for this commission and for his donation to the Maui Mutual Aid Foundation.
