Nostalgia: One Must Fall 2097

Do you remember the good ol’ MS DOS days? I sure do. When I was little, my dad used to buy me these 25 in 1 game CDs that contained many shareware games.  One of those games was a demo version of One Must Fall 2097, a fighting game. Oh, how I wanted the full version of that game. The gameplay, graphics and especially the music were fantastic at the time. Even now, the music stays a classic.

Unfortunately, no other sequels have been released except for One Must Fall Battlegrounds which turned out to be disappointing. One Must Fall 2097 can be downloaded here. You’ll need the DOS emulator DOSbox as well.

A video after the cut shows you a gameplay video along with the nostalgic soundtrack.

The Cell Animation

College has started again and I’ll be having my first test this friday already.  Judging from the title, I’m sure you can guess what it’s about.

With so many things to study on the cell, it’s sometimes hard to visualize everything. Especially for something that’s invisible to the naked eye. A friend of mine sent me this link, featuring a very impressive 3D visualisation of the many functions of the cell. The one I just linked to doesn’t have any explanation in it, but this one does have some details. I found it funny that I recognised many things that were said, despite the fact that the cell is an enormous, complex structure.

If you don’t have any knowledge of the cell or whatsoever, I suggest you watch the version without the details. If you do have some knowledge of the cell, try out the one with the details in it.
