Anyone remember using this vintage video
tape format back in the early 80s? Same
size as compact audio cassette. Same 240
scan lines of color video resolution of
a VHS tape. Single channel mono audio
only. Very Nostalgic stuff.

:D

that's awesome - I had no clue! been researching it - also, hot damn rene gonzales! it's been a couple years, helloooooo

Hello everyone. As of the past 4 years i have started collecting late 70s and early 80s vintage video media and machines. (portable Stereo microcassette audio, reel to reel audio, Sanyo Vcord II video, Quasar VX video, Betamax video, CED Selectavision video, VHD video, laserdisc video and CVC Microvideo cassette video. The CVC microvideo format is my favorite to collect. I was born in 1982 yet i trully value humanities history of home video technology.

Like i said before: We get older, wiser, balder, our hobbies change, our friends change, things come and go. Yet, 10eastern is still here. Nostalgia of the early 2000s internet. Before Facebook for goodness sakes. How rad is that.

Back in the early days of 10eastern i would use Internet Explorer browser on my Windows Xp Pentium 3 866MHZ (Overclocked to 1Ghz) desktop PC. I now use the Chrome browser with the add-on option on my Windows 8.1 notebook.

I really value 10eastern's consistency. All our drawings are still here, like a diary. To whoever moderates and maintains this site. Thank you for keeping something very special alive.

that's super cool! I also have a huge interest in vintage technology of many sorts, especially audio related. I always wanted one of those pxl-2000 cameras that recorded on audio cassette. man I could go on and on about the weird audio devices I've collected over the years, I've thought about posting about some of them somewhere - need to do this at some point.

it's been super warming up my heart to see old friends coming back to draw here and chat! even though most of us have never met in person there's this fantastic memory of our creative output and individual voices here that sticks with me, just seeing a username can bring back a flood of memories and images and feelings :)

@Rene: that era of the internet was the best. I have a fb account and it's convenient to keep in touch with people and spread news around my music activities but lately... Man what is happening?

An average facebook day consists of messages about mouth masks, racism, covid, Trump, child and animal molesting, fake news, discussions and accusations all around... Looks like it's forbidden to have a happy life

I miss IRC, MSN, Flash games, blogging.
Good thing indeed 10E is still alive and authentic!

Added a stinkfly

heh

Looks like that fly has some intentions....

it left something in the guy's hair

The Rock has landed.

ooooooooooo dang! love this

fun coolness

now, if I can only get my hand/mouse coordination back...

hiiiiooooooo tthunderdan!

Yeah! Good to see you!
I managed to get internet explorer on windows 10 work for 10e...I uninstalled all java and installed a really old one. it always asksifIwant to upgrade and I just ignore.

Jim: "Where do you think they're taking us Steve?"
Steve: "I dunno Jim... But just don't stop walking. I haven't heard that girl crying anymore and the last thing I heard her say was she was tired and was going to stop for a moment."

heha it broke the linky maker, who will repair it?

got to be a. rhythm

dis one? beepbox.co/

so cool!

:D

but big muagah came through. lights
ought. gotta pay tribute to glaga goo

did we pay tribute? what happens now!? oroooooo forteeeeeeeeeeee

shit i'm not sure anymore

you've just first contact. non-fish
contact. you haven't touched or
anything but you manage to hum for a
fraction of a moment. you have a mote
moment to react, roll for reaction
forte, you know?

i repeat: you've just first contact. so make it count, because we're all counting on YOU

how about a warm and friendly hello and introduction of each party member and a how do you do who are you? jeez so much trepidation, stakes is high! do we have to roll prior to reactions? if so please nullify my introduction and just roll

wait, pretend I just whispered all that to alyssa as we were approaching. can alyssa choose here?

ok so imma gonna hafta postone til the morn to get Alyssa's reaction to this. Cease fire. Somebady look in their inventory and do somethang already!(to prepare for stength forte challenge)

seriously... look at us. we're all trying to breakdance by drawing awesome math teachers.

better throw a grenade of basil or kale or some sorta cilantro dojo habanero www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvtxmD7cXXA

we're all trying to breakdance by drawing awesome math teachers.

say hi??? i do not now what to do

Alyssa weighed in here ^

I just survived my first tornado. Ripped through the Town of Wilton and dropped a tree on the neighbor across the street. My betta fish was not amused.

oh dang. good you're alright

I'm going to go with a hello and a hand up wave. Shit how bad could this be? Math teachers are typically real nice people I've found. Can we ask her what she thinks the deal is with the small patches of grey far away that form a kind of pattern?

she says "Hem, stratums, your lifetime forecourt has been detected as soon as you arrived. You are not known to me, please statistic your nappy and your push here."

and to you yanbu she adds "The rooms in the dividend are an ancient subject no opinion knows anything about anymore"

this is on the line

and this!

the strange fish comforts you in a way you didn't realize was possible. you forgot all about that crazy oro forte in the hills. that "strong gold" your Mom wouldn't shut up about!

Then you realize this is no ordinary fish! It changes colors and turns into a sort of femur bone banana ice cream mouth clown jester!

smoothly, you slide the fish into your pocket and gain +1 meat forte.

well done, angry flag man, I can tell you have survived before and that you will again and again

Yippie! With my new found bone banana fish clown jester I do feel a bit tingly. I want to follow the creek south and hope for a break in the ice to try panning for "ORO". It will give me an idea where the veins might be.

oh

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! ohhh yeah!!!! (kool aid man crashes thru)

huh

gist.githubusercontent.com/jasny/2000705/raw/7f2691dfe95597f96ca6383235b4062aea6c617a/linkify.php did the trick

You and your traveling companions
have randomly teleported somewhere
in the land of Oro Forte and now
find yourselves at the base of a
valley, with large, steep, snow-
covered hillsides to the North and
South. You'll never see anything
of this kind, you know, except on
the muddy banks of Wishkah.

It was dusk when you arrived and so
you've set up camp and made a fire
for warmth. The morning sun has
risen in the east and you can make
out hillsides of grassland between
the sun and yourselves. There is a
frozen river 30 yards from your
camp, which you pierced last night
to get some water. The water is
still boiling in the pot hung over
the fire pit from last night, odd.
There is a slight but constant
breeze blowing through the valley
and visibility is unhindered, you
can see for miles. What you cannot
see, however, are any signs of life
besides the grass in the distance.
Looking to the west, the valley
bends to the north a couple miles
off and gradually slopes down like
a ginormous water slide. The
valley base and hills do not seem
to have any remarkable features
besides the small patches of grey
far away that form a kind of
pattern you sorta recognize.

The sun is starting to warm you up
and you realize you are hungry.

Well, I'm off to a good start. Either Manuel ate all my MRE's or I left them in the blue bag on the counter at the place where I keep my stuff.

I going to try some ice fishing.

roll for fishing, please

I don't have any dice but I rolled a Rubiks cube across the floor and got a white side,

excellent! i'll work on a draw as soon as I can for ice fishing. beware of what lurks in the waters though! hahahahahahaahaa! i said this place was devoid of signs of life.. but sign of DEATH?! knyuck knyuck knyuck

very recognizable
