DYADCAST YouTube Channel @DYADCAST Twitter Click Here for the Computer Clan’s First Marble Blast Video (Oldest Video on the Channel) Click Here for MichaelMJD’s Video About a Marble Blast Mod IsraeliRedDragon’s Marble Blast YouTube Channel Patreon.com/KrazyKen Transcription*: Hey guys, how you all doing? If you're new here, welcome, my name is Krazy Ken. And welcome back to another episode of No Cameras Allowed the autobiographical podcast that follows the history of myself and the Computer Clan YouTube channel, which is one of the longest running tech YouTube channels still operating today. So there's a lot of cool stuff in the past to talk about, and also some cool stuff from some recent projects. And today we are going way, way back to the past to one of the things that put us on the map, this obscure little video game, which I know maybe it wasn't so obscure back then it was more popular back then, but this little game called Marble Blast. And that was one of the things that helped us establish our, I guess you could say authority on YouTube and I am here with wave today because wave has actually been with me a long as time. We did some of these types of videos back in Oh man, 2007, 2008. So it's kind of cool to have him here and talk about this stuff from the past wave. Thanks for being on the show today. Thank you for having me. Ken Marble Blast is a game we've been playing for years and funny enough, I still play it today, but having a newer PC really does me no benefit whatsoever when try to play that game, because the amount of glitches that happen when you try to run it super high end, the, I was playing platinum about two weeks ago. And if you turn on mouse controls, you will spin like indefinitely, fast that you can not control it. So, so, So you're on newer hardware, much newer hardware And having windows 10 and high-end graphics and full screen on 4k monitor. Why does the mouse do that? Do you have like really high like sensitivity studies? I turned the DPI down to one on my lodger tech miles, just to see if that would do anything. It doesn't matter. Well, first time a single input is put one direction. It is done Just a software glitch or something that has to be wow. Okay. So yeah, I mean, it's cool that you still play it. I mean, this game goes way back. We'll just do kind of, um, a brief history here, but also just to brief people who, on who wave is. I mean, if you haven't been following the channel from the early days, you probably don't know, but we've collabed before. And, um, he currently runs the DYADCAST YouTube channel with your buddy Jack. Right? That is correct. Yeah. And it's, um, it's new channel, so it's cool to see those things getting off the ground. And I also had Jack on my live webcast, a problem, man. It's probably been months ago already, but uh, yeah, he's a game designer. So he's working on that. How's that going? He just, he just face pumped right here in the office, as I asked him that question. So it was supposed to be released about Jack's game, right? Yeah. 12 weeks ago. No. And While Jack is new to game design, he is not the most computer tech person he's recently getting into PC world. I've just built him a computer, but he learned the valuable lesson of having a backup. Oh yeah. Because Someone did some editing for him on the, um, script that was in the game, all the words that would appear on screen like an RPG. Right? So text, he took all the text over in save the file. Well, that file. The person was editing was a very old version of the game. Just had the script in it and he saved over the game itself. That was almost completed with the updated script. So we lost Oh, no weeks. Oh no. And I asked If he had a backup and he was like, I do, but he didn't realize when he saved it, he saved it over his backup, not the initial file. So when he moved it to his PC, then he over, uh, wrote the original file on the backup. Yup. Oh no, we lost both. I had nothing. I shouldn't be laughing at that. That's horrible. I'm so sorry, Jack. Um, if you're listening, yeah. Save early. Save often have backups. Um, I always encourage people to do backups, but like even so like you can still have that user error. It's good news. It actually is to steam right now. And one steam approves the game. It will be live on the steam store. Oh, cool. So hopefully within the next week or two steam will give us the approval and we'll have the green light. Yeah. These episodes are recorded at different times from when they're published. So hopefully by the time you're hearing us right now, Maybe it's already live by Christmas. We're hoping I'll be left by Christmas, 2020. Sweet. So, okay. So now you know, a bit about wave and DYADCAST and Jack's unfortunate. Uh, so let this be, we're all about gaming here today. Let's talk about Marble Blast. So this is a game that came out in 2002. It was originally called Marble Blast. But then in 2003, they must've done some update to it. Cause they called it Marble Blast gold. Again, this was probably much more popular back then than it is now. And I will have some videos of it, including I could probably include one from my buddy, Michael MJD. He played it recently on a video. I'll include that stuff in the show notes, go ahead and click that link. And it's basically just like this little game, you roll this marble around these obstacle courses, but there's time challenges and people were really competitive. Like this was before like e- sports stuff was really getting big. I would assume like this was like early 2000. It's another type of speed running. Yeah. It is a speed running game. And the speed running scene has been around just forever. Whenever. Pretty much. Yeah. Right. And um, there were people who would just get super competitive with this and leaderboards and time challenges. And, um, we'll talk about some of this stuff later, but like the game was very moddable and like I would mod my own stuff and release them out there and I would like set the time challenges and people would record videos and put them on YouTube of like, dude, you need to, you need to decrease your time. And I'm like, why, how quick did you beat it? And I see them do these edge hits and stuff. And they like quote unquote, like bunny hop or whatever you want to call it right to the end. And I'm like, what the? So yeah, there were these guys that were really good at this. They play it day in and day out. So it was really big back in the early thousands. And there's still people that play today. So it also came pre-installed on certain Macs. I don't remember which ones, but you bought a Mac and you got it for free. But back when wave and I played it, we had a Windows PC. So that's how we knew that gateway. Yeah. We had like a gateway. Um, Oh, I don't remember the model of it, but I remember as it got every single virus known to man. Yeah. We had some problems with that back then, but you know, we weren't smart. Like we are now we know how to avoid. I want to play flash games. Oh, there'll be flashed. Yes. We'll be talking about that on other shows on YouTube and on the podcast flash man, good times and bad. Um, so it was developed by garage games. It was published by monster studios, which is very evident because every time the marble game starts in your marble drops on that start pad, it says monster studios on it. So you know who the publisher is and it was built on the torque. You're giving me a weird face. What does that mean? I've never read the start test. Jennifer. Is there something on the end? Bad too. I think it's just the Marble Blast logo. See, I thought this was the start one was this the start one say, so it says monster studios, the publisher of the game. Okay. Well, we'll take a look at some videos tonight that you probably haven't seen in like 10 years. No, dear. We'll take a look at some of those. Um, but yeah, and it was written on the torque engine, which man, I haven't kept up to date with that.

  • The Life & Rhymes of Jay-Z, an Historical Biography
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 Omékongo Dibinga, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Barbara Finkelstein, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College of Education. Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the life and ideas of Jay-Z. It is an effort to illuminate the ways in which he managed the vicissitudes of life as they were inscribed in the political, economic cultural, social contexts and message systems of the worlds which he inhabited: the social ideas of class struggle, the fact of black youth disempowerment, educational disenfranchisement, entrepreneurial possibility, and the struggle of families to buffer their children from the horrors of life on the streets. Jay-Z was born into a society in flux in 1969. By the time Jay-Z reached his 20s, he saw the art form he came to love at the age of 9—hip hop— become a vehicle for upward mobility and the acquisition of great wealth through the sale of multiplatinum albums, massive record deal signings, and the omnipresence of hip-hop culture on radio and television. In short, Jay-Z lived at a time where, if he could survive his turbulent environment, he could take advantage of new terrains of possibility. This dissertation seeks to shed light on the life and development of Jay-Z during a time of great challenge and change in America and beyond. THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 An historical biography: 1969-2004 by Omékongo Dibinga Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 Advisory Committee: Professor Barbara Finkelstein, Chair Professor Steve Klees Professor Robert Croninger Professor Derrick Alridge Professor Hoda Mahmoudi © Copyright by Omékongo Dibinga 2015 Acknowledgments I would first like to thank God for making life possible and bringing me to this point in my life.

Just doing my homework like everyone else here in study hall. Same ol’ routine. Now slowly look in his direction… He’ is looking at me! Oh, man why did I do that? Now I look like a dork! OK, calm down. Just thumb through the book. Now look super interested in this page. Good – very convincing… Now, just take a little teeny, tiny peek to see what he’s doing. Holy smoke, I think I’m going to faint! What do I do now? Do I wait till he says something? Maybe I should do something to let him know that…well…that it’s OK with me if he has something to tell me. I mean, what if he’s waiting for some kind of a sign that I’m…sort of…interested? I know! I could ask him if he wrote down the math assignment. Yeah! No wait…there’s no talking in study hall. Wouldn’t you know it! This is the most major opportunity of my life, and I’m forced into silence. OK, I’ve got it! I’ll write him a note! There’s got to be some paper in here! The bell! Wait!
