@JustJakeSimpson I now vaguely recall some of the design discussions around that task system, trying to nut out how all these little routines should coordinate amongst themselves, eg how to arbitrate priority over the dotpanel and table lights, animation stacking, gameplay mode switching...

[Darren Baker @darren_baker]

@JustJakeSimpson By threads you mean the things that are actually cooperatively scheduled task objects? Agree I'd do those differently today. Including choosing a different name for them. :) Tbh I wanted to revamp them during development but they did the job well enough and no time.

Very curious to see how the PSP Go! fares. 80% price cut on devkits is excellent. Cut just another 50% and it'd actually be reasonable!

@adriancook67 Lego Indy lost me in the mines, I kept going around in circles. Funny my attention span is about the same as a 2 year old's.

@andrew98 Surely you've seen all the Simpsons anyway? I guess I'll miss the bright yellow animated wallpaper they turned my TV into.
