I really hope everybody remembers Norm for the 2018 deliberations. Best new character, best moment, best sequence.
Don't forget best surprise!
Norm was very pleasant and it goes to show how good the giant bomb guys are for not pestering him too long. A lesser group might have turned that into a prank call.
Paladin Null "We Found A Retired Apple 2 Technician On An Apple 2 Livestream" coming soon.
Norm Best Character 2018
*DONT CALL NORM*
Almost two decades ago young me got his first dialup modem and tried connecting to a BBS from a list he found on a random Internet website. The modem couldn't connect for whatever reason showing a (then) mysterious BUSY error, so the young me tried again, and again. On the third try the modem call was answered by a sleepy DUDE who told me that the BBS had been closed down 15 years ago, and now if I don't mind, he would like to get some sleep because it's 3 AM.
The nightmares of that night still haunt me.
NORM IS THE BEST!!!
That was amazing, best GiantBomb moment of 2018 so far.
I hope they do another one of these with 90s/early 00s content. My childhood staples were “Where in the World...” (and) “Where in Time is Carmen San Diego”, Zoombinis, Mavis Beacon Typing Institute, The Yukon Trail, Oregon Trail II, Maya Quest, Sim Safari (which I guess was educational since you had to balance the ecosystem and build a good relationship between your resort and the village), Encarta MindMaze, and the Jumpstart Kindergarten and First Grade games. So many more, but those were my main go-tos
I really hope nobody called Norm.
$900 in 1847 had about the same buying power as $24,500 today
When they actually found the programmer and said hello, it warmed my heart.
video is half as loud as it should be
Still got a super soft spot for educational games... Especially the ones from the early/mid 90s that came on CD-ROM. The production values for some of those were freaking insane.
Really enjoying this good good Matt Rorie content lately.
Man, I played the heck out of number munchers when I was in school. That and an 'educational' submarine game I can't remember what it was called, though.
I Googled "educational submarine game" and came upon Operation Neptune. Wouldn't happen to be it, would it?
guys, seriously, the volume, where is it? you got the inputs fine, there's no clipping or anything, but you have to send something to the outputs! :(
I had to connect to my bluetooth speaker and max it out in order to hear what they're saying. This is weird.
I didn't lose my sewer virginity till I was 16. My mothers school district had Apple II's till 1999. Loved playing Super Rabbit or whatever it was called.
As a lifelong Oregonian, I can confirm they nailed the graphics. P.S. Norm rules!
I see that cool S, don't think I didn't.
Its origin is still a mystery, but learning how to make it was mandatory learning for all elementary school students.
I literally just played a flash version of Odell lake two weeks ago, played it all the time at school!
Don't. Call. Norm.
why's it so quiet? D:
Rockie's Boots was amazing. It blew my mind back when I was a kid and I messed around with it for a while. If you want to check out good games (arcade style) you should fire up Rescue Raiders. It is an amazing game which made Choplifter look like a toddler game. I still think it is a good example of an early strategy game. Also mixed with good action. Such a good game.
45:53 Pittsburgh mention!!! I think it's funny that a drive-in is rare for them, but for me there are several around the area.
I remember an edutainment game (Apple IIe) that had you place different size pulleys with ropes and it had something to do with turning on light bulbs? Or something like that? I haven't ever been able to track down the name of it. If anyone else remembers it, please let me know.
Forgot to blur out the filename of the ROM though didn't you! Poor Norm! ;)
Norm is best dood.
"Gross." - Jason, a noted sewer explorer, on Portland Oregon.
They should get Norm on as a guest.
Number Munchers is the greatest game ever.
Bless Norm.
I should have some ibm compatible versions of jeopardy, wheel of fortune, family feud and classic classic concentration around.
Don't, call Norm?
Why is this so ruthlessly quiet?
Get NORM on the podcast!
I feel like Norm was overly sexualized and very good.
Thanks Norm!
P.S. Don’t call Norm
this super does not matter but it's a personal pet peeve of mine: it's "hel-len-ah" not "hell-ay-nah". dunno why the second pronunciation seems so common
Norm's Battlegrounds.
Didn’t see that coming. Thanks!
Oh give me a home where the buffalos roam...
D'aww, Norm was so kind.
I do love the idea of you doing educational computer games, but from about ten years later than this.
DONT CALL NORM
