Chapter Eighty-Four: Urban Legends

In fact, many games from a long time ago have many urban legends that have been passed down for a long time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

For example, in "Pokémon" in Shion Town, and in "Pokémon: Gold/Silver", the original protagonist Ash who doesn't say a word and fights the player when he sees it.

Let's put aside Ziyuan Town, the Ash in "Pokémon: Gold/Silver" is said to be for special training, and after going to the mountains, he died in the mountains.

The reason why such an easter egg was made is, in a sense, because the game developers encountered some unhappy things during the development process.

Making games is just that, endless overtime, endless work. As long as it's a person, there will be times when you get irritable.

Lin Yan is like this, not to mention other people.

As a result, there will always be some weird stuff that is added to the game and makes players suddenly break out in a cold sweat while they are having fun.

Of course, some unscrupulous media and magazines, in order to attract attention, will also do some unwarranted things.

The eight underwater levels of "Contra", even in China, where there was no Internet back then, everyone from Hainan to Xinjiang knew about it. There are also many people who try to enter the "Eight Underwater Levels". Suffice it to say that this kind of urban legend is alive.

This shows the lack of entertainment back then, after all, there weren't too many games that everyone could play. Having a pirated red and white machine is already a great blessing.

Therefore, some game magazines in Japan like to concoct similar rumors.

It's like saying that in "Iron Plate Array", the iron plate that rolls most of the time. These iron plates are invincible, and the player cannot be broken by bullets.

However, there is a magazine that says that this iron plate can be broken, but in order to break it, it needs to be hit 256 times.

What does two hundred and fifty-six strokes mean, it means that when an iron plate appears in the screen, it will attack for at least twenty seconds.

You know, there were no consecutive shots back then, even if it was a recognized game celebrity in Japan, Takahashi celebrity, the hand speed was around 16 beats per second.

Therefore, this rumor, with its difficulty of being almost impossible to debunk, has been circulating for a long, long time.

This is not the funniest thing, the funniest thing is that the programming language magazine for programmers at the time, in one of his supplements, argues the degree of justification of the two hundred and fifty-six blows of the iron plate.

You know, two hundred and fifty-six, this is a number that can often be seen in the field of computers.

Because, the basis of the computer is two-bit, and the widely spread eight, sixteen, thirty-two, sixty-four, one hundred and twenty-eight, two hundred and fifty-six, until five hundred and twelve, and then to one hundred and twenty-four.

Because the red and white machines at that time were eight-digit, some people used the code of the eight-bit machines to prove that when the number of attacks reached 256.

The counter will be in a special state, so that the iron plate can be shattered.

In other words, this special state is a mistake in the game, but it is not a vicious mistake that players can't play, but a benign error.

What can you do with good mistakes, good mistakes are basically easter eggs that will be talked about by players.

The rumors of "Iron Plate Array" are intensifying, as a representative figure in the industry, as an industry personnel who already have a high status, Xiao Chubby Dun should know about it.

Although Chubby Dun was already a very famous person at the time, he was not separated from the players like some game producers.

He held a special press conference, which was to state that there was no such easter egg in "Iron Plate Array".

It stands to reason that many years have passed since this incident, and it should have passed.

However, this is not the case, and recently in the game forum, someone said about it.

And, from the professional perspective of a programmer, he analyzed the game program and said that this thing definitely exists.

Because, most programmers grew up playing games in that era. Therefore, the higher the floor of this post.

Chubby was blown out again.

However, he did not use an account under his real name.

After all, most people don't stupidly use their real name as a screen name.

His name on the forum is actually the easter egg he left in "Iron Plate Array" back then, a real easter egg. The content of the easter egg is the name he left behind.

The little chubby dun who was blown up said that this thing was fake and unscientific.

However, the programmer directly replied to the post, you are a layman, who are you? What qualifications do you have to say that what I said is false.

At this time, Xiao Chubby Dun has actually begun to prepare materials to refute this person. However, there are forum friends who revealed that he is Xiao Chubhubun, the game maker of "Iron Plate Array".

As a result, the little programmer who was still shouting just now softened and became trembling. Calling his predecessors again and again.

This is also related to Japan's corporate culture and industry culture. Whether it is offending the seniors in the company or the seniors outside the company.

These seniors, and even a word, may ruin the future of newcomers entering the industry.

Actually, Chubby Dun is not that kind of person, he is a little programmer, and it doesn't do him any good.

After all, no one wants to be left behind in the name of being cautious.

As the saying goes, the heart is wide and the body is fat, but in fact, the little chubby dun is the kind of person who is particularly tolerant.

However, although he is now in the industry and has a lot of influence, he still does not meet his original requirements.

When he first entered the video game industry, what he wanted to do was nothing more than surpass Lin Yan.

The reason why he wants to surpass Lin Yan is nothing more than the girl he liked at the beginning, that is, Yuki Chiba, who seems to have a lot in common with Lin Yan.

Of course, lately, he has seen it too.

There are some things that you can't ask for, perhaps, this is the regret of life.

Sometimes, he would also get together with Hayashi and Chiba Yuki.

After all these years, it's interesting that everyone is single.

In fact, Little Fat Dun also knows more about their situation.

You know, now Mayu Riverside is already a gold medal painter in the game industry.

Ordinary artists, perhaps, are also painting textures and building models, but the main job of Chiba Games now is to determine the art style of the game.

In fact, the people who can determine the art style of the game are generally masters.

Of course, in different types of games, there are also artists who specialize in this genre.

And Chiba Games, the most commendable thing in the industry, is that she is good at a variety of game styles.

No matter what type of game it is, she can easily find the right art style.

Some people are very surprised by her strength, but sometimes, the commonalities between celebrities will be particularly eye-catching.

It will become the talk of many people.

She and Lin Yan were forcibly brought into a relationship by many people.

Of course, it really doesn't matter, that's definitely not possible. You must know that the paparazzi in the Japanese entertainment industry are pervasive.

Therefore, many people have found photos of Lin Yan once traveling with Chiba Yuki and Mayu by the river.

Therefore, all kinds of gossip began to fly all over the sky.

In fact, most of the news in the entertainment industry, even news, is actually caused by corresponding people behind it.

Therefore, this gossip was organized and premeditated.

It didn't take long for Chiba Games to find the mastermind behind it.

However, the bad thing is that these people are behind the scenes, the Americans.

In fact, the status of the Americans in Japan has always been somewhat detached.

There are historical reasons for this.

There are many people who are disgusted with foreigners, but many Japanese people are actually very envious of foreigners.

There are historical reasons for this. Of course, the practical reason is still very big, and it is the relationship between money.

On the other hand, they feel inferior to foreigners simply because they are poor.

You must know that after the war, it was not everyone's qualification to be able to pick up bubble gum that the US military had chewed and spit on the ground.

It's like many people envy the Middle East, they envy Dubai, and they think it's a very wealthy place.

Actually, Dubai is really rich, it is indeed rich, but most people are better off than Europeans, no.

A lot of wealth, very much in the hands of a few people, spending a lot of money, of course, it looks very rich.

In fact, the choice of this place in Dubai is also very interesting.

If we really talk about crude oil reserves, Dubai's crude oil reserves, in the whole Middle East, are actually very small, very small.

Most of its oil deposits were mined in the sixties of the last century, and they are now on the verge of depletion.

They are not like other Middle Eastern countries, where they live a rich life when they have money, and they live a life without money when they don't have money.

After thinking about it, they tried to start making Dubai a cosmopolitan luxury city.

After the oil industry went bankrupt, they chose to make a living with business and tourism.

In fact, Dubai's commercial promotion is everywhere. If you pay a little attention, you will find many Hollywood movies that will be shot in Dubai.

It's like the content about diamonds in a TV series and movie, in fact, it's a very high-quality diamond advertisement.

The best ad is one that doesn't feel like an advertisement.

So, Dubai and Diamonds, both are doing very well.

However, because of this excessive publicity, Dubai is even promoted as a city made of gold. The ground is full of supercars.

In fact, when you really get to Dubai, there will be some disappointments.

Because, in fact, Dubai is not too different from ordinary first-tier cities.

As for why the high-rise buildings in Dubai appear particularly tall, the tips of the buildings are above the clouds.

That's not because of their height, but because of their natural advantage, the clouds are particularly low.

If the clouds in Tokyo are that low, in fact, many buildings in Tokyo can exceed the clouds.

This kind of tourism booming city seems to be able to make money lying down for a hundred years, but in fact, it is not like this.

If there is no money inflow from the oil industry, then Dubai will not have a lot of cash flow.

You must know that the renovation of a city requires a lot of resources.

If the Burj Al Arab has existed for a hundred years and looks old, will anyone still go there, and the old Palm looks old, will they still have the resources to make a new Palm Island?

Of course, although there are all kinds of problems in the future, Dubai is a very good example for Middle Eastern countries.

At the very least, they proved that they could do without oil.

You must know that in that place in the Middle East, in fact, the natural environment is not very suitable for agriculture and human survival.

If, without oil, there would be no shortage here, at least, there would be a lot fewer people to feed here.

Due to the popularity of the video game industry, as well as the video game industry, it comes with a low-cost, high-profit factor.

Chiba Games is actually a leader in the Japanese video game industry, and their employee benefits are actually very good.

Traveling to various parts of the world is not a problem for them. As long as the employee says they want to go, they will go.

The reason why Lin Yan's impression of Dubai is not very good is because the employees who returned from tourism said that Dubai has been overstated.

Of course, when there is a business cooperation in Dubai, Chiba Games still has to cooperate.

Their collaboration with Chiba Games is to add some iconic buildings of Dubai to the games produced by Chiba Games.

It has to be said that, to some extent, Chiba Games is also an accomplice in Dubai.

There are many people who are not optimistic about the fate of Dubai, and the areas that mainly sell resources and do not have their own complete industrial system are actually not optimistic about the future.

Just like Mongolia and Brazil, countries are also mainly selling resources.

Like Brazil's Vale, many people don't know where it is, but they've heard of it.

It seems that they are living happily by selling resources, but this is not the case. Once, when the global economy is down, once when the economy of their exporting countries is in trouble, their life will be very poor.

Even, it is not a good thing for some countries to play football well.

The existence of slums, for the state, is an absolute disgrace.

The ideal country in Lin Yan's imagination is actually this country, where there is no hunger, no war, no drugs, and a country where people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Perhaps, apart from Europe and the Americas, there are only a few countries in East Asia that can do this.

East Asia's resurgence is due in large part to its millennia-long history.

They know how to govern the country, they will not blindly believe the prescriptions given by others, and they will rely on their own experience to find a path that can be developed. (To be continued.) )
