Post by Fleexy »

Somebody at Microsoft likes Keen. This is the default mock-up for a Win8 task bar in the PowerPoint storyboard shapes library.

Haha! Nice find! Should probably be in the references thread though.

And what's wrong with that? I see windows as the ideal stopgap, to keep us in business until we're ready to migrate en-masse back to MS-DOS 5 forever.

Would it be obnoxiously hipsterish to buy one of these and play Keen on it on the bus??

I've used my '95 Dell Latitude XPi in public to play Keen and stuff before. Which isn't to say that I'm not obnoxiously hipsterish for doing that. :o
