  • I don’t remember this exactly but when I was around 10 years old (circa 2007), me and my friends were playing around this “.bat” file that you create using notepad with a specific line which I forgot but essentially restarts your PC when you run the bat file.

    We had some laughs during computer class.

    During student council meeting, I had the chance to use the teacher/advisor’s PC and of course tried this .bat thing for some laughs. Unfortunately this PC was older or something because when I ran the .bat file it didn’t just restart the PC but ran into a significant error (I think some important files got deleted). Good thing no one noticed I tinkered with the PC, because the teacher was flustered.






  • Gallop Racer (psx)

    It’s about racing and breeding horses.

    “Newer” titles of the series (ps2) also had the element of raising/training the horses.

    The collab with G1 Jockey on the PS3 also had those obstacle course racing included.

    My dad loved betting on horses (he got it from his father), and loved the game.

    It was simple game of racing horses with some fine details mixed in (when to gallop, correct positioning and timing, and etc.)

    The best thing about the series is that the list of horses are already laid out, so you know which ones are the strong ones in a particular course except for the secret horses that you only get through winning particular races in a particular order throughout the horse’s career.

    The endgame though is through breeding the horses, which is another element of euphoria when winning the genetic lottery.

    Sometimes when I miss it, I just play it on my phone (through an emulator) and it’s always been a fun experience.
