La pulga

from Memory Backups

En este episodio, he cogido algunos artículos acerca de la historia de Bugaboo (La Pulga), el primer videojuego original desarrollado en España que logró un éxito internacional sin precedentes. Creado en 1983 por los extremeños Paco Suárez y Paco Portalo, este título marcó el nacimiento de la industria del videojuego en nuestro país y se convirtió en un referente por sus innovaciones técnicas y su impacto cultural. Durante el episodio, exploramos cómo una simple simulación física ideada por Suárez acabó transformándose en un videojuego revolucionario. Hablamos del proceso de desarrollo, de los retos técnicos que enfrentaron sus creadores y de cómo su colaboración fue clave para dar forma a una experiencia de juego única. También repasamos el impacto que tuvo en el Reino Unido, donde alcanzó el número uno en ventas y fue reconocido por su jugabilidad basada en física y por su introducción animada, considerada una de las primeras cutscenes de la historia. Además, reflexionamos sobre el legado que dejó Bugaboo, inspirando a toda una generación de desarrolladores españoles y consolidando la reputación del software nacional en el extranjero. Cerramos con las palabras de Paco Suárez, quien, a pesar de no ser un apasionado de los videojuegos, encontró en este proyecto una vía para la innovación técnica y creativa. Este episodio es un homenaje a la creatividad, la perseverancia y el talento que dieron origen a una de las joyas del videojuego retro español. ¿Te gustó? Déjanos tu comentario.

Murderville The Intercept Harris County, Texas, has sent more people to death row than any jurisdiction in the nation. Among them is Charles Raby. He confessed to the grisly murder of an elderly woman in Houston in 1992. But the evidence tells a different story — one in which the state went after the wrong man. In the second season of Murderville, Intercept reporters Liliana Segura and Jordan Smith explore faulty forensics, the fallibility of memory, and a system ill-equipped to acknowledge its mistakes.

Explicit Philosophy of Psychoanalysis Nina McIlwain Freud famously said that the aim of psychoanalysis was to enable us to work, love and play with minimum conflict. So what gets in the way of us doing that? Philosophy of Psychoanalysis is an educational course presented at a third-year tertiary education level by A/Prof. Doris McIlwain. The course aims to ground you in the basics: the nature of unconscious processes, repression, sexuality, dreams, morality, grief, gender identity, drives and affects and their implications for perception, memory and creative processes, as well as for certain forms of psychopathology. Then, it considers the wider societal relevance of psychoanalysis to issues of the internet, femininity, charisma, cults, spin doctors, hypocrisy and political power. For the more clinically minded, the course covers an array of post-Freudian perspectives, including Jacques Lacan, Melanie Klein, Object Relations theory, Kohut’s self-psychology, Winnicott, and relational psychoanalysis. You should leave the course with a gra Explicit My Time Capsule Cast Off Productions A podcast that asks guests, such as Stephen Fry, David Mitchell, Caroline Quentin, Ross Noble, Lee Mack, Arabella Weir & Rob Brydon, for five things which they’d like to put in a Time Capsule.

Four of them are things they want to preserve but one has to be something they’re happy to bury and never have to think about again.Hosted by Michael Fenton Stevens.Podcast of the Week in The Times, The Guardian and The Radio Times.
