If you live in the Washington DC metro area, and you like good beer, you need to know what is currently on draft at your local Dogfish Head Alehouse! This app can help you.

The Dogfish Head Alehouses are licensees of the Dogfish Head brewery in Delaware. There are Dogfish Head Alehouses in Gaithersburg, MD, and Falls Church, VA.

This simple application will retrieve the photograph of the chalkboards that are stored on the restaurant’s web site, and display them on your iPhone/iPod Touch. You can switch between the two alehouses with the press of a button.

Each time the application runs, it pulls the current image off of the web site. So how up to date is it? It’s not live, but it’s pretty darn accurate.

Here are some more Giana’s Return work in progress news, this time regarding the Gameboy Advance version.

Quote:

It’s pretty amazing what Widdy did with his “study”. Giana’s Return GBA is already pretty far.

For now the GBA version does the following:
* Tile collision
* Supports all three jump types and Giana is walking (animated)
* Background
* Plays music in the background

Here are some news about the upcomming INOFFICIAL “The Great Giana Sisters” sequel for GP2x and probably other platforms.

PC Action Classic Gaming Article 1/2009

kedo, staff member at http://www.pdroms.de , gave us information about the recent PC Action “Classic Gaming” special 01/2009 article where they presented the official sequel of The Great Giana Sisters. Up to a specific point we knew that something like this was in the works, specially for the Nintendo DS platform.

The screenshots of the official sequel are impressing and the guys at Bitfield for sure did a great job. This imense “boost” of graphics and the nice style is also making a bit jelaus, we must admit 🙂 Probably we need to pimp the graphics a bit again to make it more worthy. It’s not like we want to compete with a commercial product now, but polishing never harmed.

Now we are having a more or less tiny dilemma, because we want to bring multi platform fun – a Nintendo DS version of Giana’s Return is impossible now as there would be an economical confilct and we are not interested in such a situation.

If we really want to be “independent” we probably must drop the name “Giana’s Return” to be free from outside influences. As the material is all ours, beside the used trademark, we will decide within the team how to go on.

A thing which goes close to our heart and which should be mentioned here:

Joachim Hesse, who works for PC Action, is a long time supporter of Giana’s Return. Recently his employee Computec has kicked him along with another guy. We are very thankful to Joachim for his support which can be also seen if you grab the magazine above. He mentioned Giana’s Return even it’s not out yet and he still believes in us. Considering he was one of the main heads of the german magazine PC Action and he is not with us anymore, I would be more than happy if you could sing up at this petition to get his job back. I believe he is doing it well as he supports also the small ones, just like us. If you want to help getting his job back please sign this petition: [ http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/pcaction/index.html ] – A “PC Action” without him and his collegue Harald would be sad anyway. I believe the quality will drop dramatically.

Update:

It seems Jo’s email account has been assimilated and he also does not show up as active member at the PC Action webboards. Jo if you read these lines, please get in touch with us. Thanks!

Economical Conflicts?

Everyone knows the Nintendo DS remake will be out soon, so do we. We wrote an E-Mail to our contact person at Spellbound yesterday to get a few answers – but there is no response yet. Basically we will limit ourself to releases on economical dead systems such as Dreamcast, GP32 and similar and to systems with no economical relevance such as the GP2x, Wiz and Pandora.

It’s more than obvious that people wont see Giana’s Return in the near future on the Nintendo DS – you better buy the commercial game and support the development of Spellbound and Bitfield Only a minority of the people out there would be able to run a Nintendo DS version anyway, as you need specific hardware for this.

On Yotube we have found a video of the official sequel, which can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxsVV9a5J9I – you may compare this to our stuff located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNWDl9jZjwg

Since Scherzo doesn’t plan to work on NesterDC SE in the near future, Christuserloeser decided to compile a release with the GUI modifications which were sent to him a while back. This includes the free ROM browser Scherzo posted.

T7g compiled a Gentoo Linux distribution working on the Nintendo Wii. Standard GUI features are built in, it comes with many networking tools plus the best part a collection of multimedia players and emulators. There’s a lot more then that though.

Partitial quote of the content:

– Emulators
DosBox, self explainatory
snes9x with snes9express frontend
visualboyadvance with gnomevisualboy frontend or whatnot
FCEUltra, no frontend.
hAtari, the sys roms are installed? (emutos, the free ones) but I don’t have it configured to use them
VICE, for the kid in you. (I was surprised at how many emulators came with it…)
…including, xvic, x64, x128, xpet, xplus4, xcbm2, vsid, c1541, and I think petcat and cartconv are utils.

– Games
JumpnBump (jumpnbump)
Gnome games package… including…
gnibbles, gnobots, glines, gnetc, mahjongg, gnomine, gnometris, gnotravex, gnotski, iagno, gtali, blackjack, same-gnome
Scorched Earth (xscorch)
LinCity (xlincity)

– Multimedia
MPlayer, don’t know which version at the moment but it ran great.
Music Player Daemon for audio, compiled with most codecs I believe. I haven’t added timidity++ support yet (11/30)
Gimmix and Sonata for hitting up Music Player Daemon.
VLC Media Player, no frontend here either, same as mplayer.
alsamixer, I think it controls the volume.
mpg123, for mp3’s while relaxin in the console.
Totem, runs like hell for what I tried but whatever; it’s there.
