Beach Life Virtual Resort: Spring Break - Opening and Editing The .BLE Game Files

Image
images taken from the game and from the game manual I have an itch to play Beach Life every now and then. The last time it happened, I found a band-aid solution to guests complaining about high prices. I wanted to make more changes if I could but I couldn't find a way to open and read some of the script files. There are some files in the game that are readable on notepad ( GameParameters.pis and the other . pis files on each scenario and sandscenario folder) but when you try to open up the . ble files, you only see random symbols. I've tried tools that I've seen recommended online ( Game Extractor , Ghidra , Offzip to name a few). Admittedly, I did just glaze over them because I know nothing about reverse engineering a game and didn't know what to do. I have an inkling to play it again recently, and I decided to try an idea that has been looming over my head but have been avoiding.... The GameParameters.pis file had a header containing the file name, and I notice...

The Adventures of Merlin Season 5 (BBC)

The Adventures of Merlin Season 5 (BBC) Time really does fly fast. It seems like it wasn't too long ago when I was waiting for the series/season 4 of The Adventures of Merlin to air, so I was pretty shocked to see that the season 5 will be airing in the U.K. on October 6, 2012 ! Seems that there are a lot of good TV shows coming out this time of the year ( Doctor Who is already on its second episode for this season, and The Walking Dead season 3 first episode will also premiere next month). Anyway, Merlin will be moved to a later time slot, so the atmosphere of the show will be affected. The scenes will probably be mildly sexier. Gwen and Morgana will bare more cleavage (see Gwen's picture above for reference), and more topless scenes for the Knights. While I have no problem with seeing a bit more skin, I'm much more worried about the story line. Julian Murphy , co-creator of the series has said in a newspaper interview that they have to change the tone of the ...

Paco - Gangster Lyrics

Wilfred Season 1 If you want to know what the song on Wilfred Episode 11 - Doubt (Season 1) was (the background music while Wilfred walked around like a 'gangster' and Ryan secretly following him), it is Gangster by Paco . I found the lyrics here  but it was a bit hard to read because the translation isn't separate from the lyrics. I took the liberty of posting the lyrics and translation separately below. Title: Gangster Artist: Paco Damas y caballeros, Pongan atencion al siguiente comunicado Damas y caballeros, Pongan atencion al siguiente comunicado Bienvenidos a L.A. donde las drogas y los freeways Son normales pa' la gente (gangster) Marihuana por aqui marihuana por alla Onda multicultural esta presente (gangster) Frente al rotulo de Hollywood millones de viajeros Siempre sue an con la fama (gangster) Con tu foto, tu pagina, y "my space" encontraras Cual es tu rama, y cuanto ganan (gangster) Si no tienes de que esconderte Y no t...

Back to the Cubeture 2 OST

Back to the Cubeture 2 OST If you've played Back to the Cubeture 2 before, then I'm sure you'd agree that the in-game music was great. Lucky for me and you, the OST of Back to the Cubeture 2 is available here  (all 13 songs for just $4!). If you just like one or two songs you could purchase one track for $0.78. My top 5 favorites among the list are (in no particular order): - Chick Chicken, Die!  (infectiously fun) - Hades Do-Sa-Do (cool electronic track) - I Wanna Be That Man (mainly vocals, but really interesting) - Grime God Beat (surprisingly catchy) - Calamari (just plain nice and easy to listen to)

Back to the Cubeture 2

Back to the Cubeture Era 2 It's been a while since I last posted something. The past several months has been great but I'm not here to talk about that. This really incredible game, Back to the Cubeture 2 brought me back from the dead and compelled me to write a blog post today because it's just that GOOD.  Cuboy, Forest Nymph and Hercusneeze You play as the ever-friendly Cuboy. An evil cat, Padrino, messed everything up causing the three of you (Cuboy, Padrino, and your Boss) to get time-warped into Cubathens. You need to recover the time warper in order to get back to the present time. ...and he's not in a mood for a party The voice overs are just amazing. I've never been more entertained playing a flash game in my entire life (considering the fact that this is a point and click game, and I hate using the mouse). I feel that I'm watching a British Futurama/Spongebob mash-up loaded with Excitement Seeds. X-citement Seeds It's...
