Quote:A what can only be described as Awesome looking new Music game from Nintendo, has been announced, and Nintendo have the site up and running.
The game, going under the title Electro Plankton, seems to be a Light and Music game using sea creatures. A visit to the site Here, will give you access to some wonderful looking and sounding videos (Nanocarp is my favourite looking), Wallpapers and Info (Although in Japanese, there is a little English)
Update
Scheduled for a Japanese release on April 7th 2005 including headphones, Electro Plankton is being produced by contemporary Japanese musician Toshio Iwai, designer of other musicical interactive devices, will be released through a currently undiclosed publisher.
Electro Plankton which is being referred to as a "Touchable Media Art" game, places players in a water-based world. Within this world exists ten types of "electric plankton" creatures. These creatures will react to your voice and touch, also based on your touches and voice inputs, the game will output different audio/video patterns, modifying your voice with a variety of amusing effects.
...then you'd better well be preordering the new Zelda. Can't find an article online, so I'm going to just copy directly out of my new EGM. Mind you this isn't in the rumor section, this is for real. It only seems to good to be true...
Quote:Beginning the first day of April, those who plop down at least $10 on this fall's highly anticipated and mature-looking <i>The Legend of Zelda</i> will recieve a bonus disc that features a visually remade version of Links 2003 adventure, <i>The Wind Waker</i>. So instead of a cartoony look, the ever-popular elf will be travelling the ocean blue in search of his little sis with the same superslick and grown-up graphics as the next console installment.
But that's not all: the game will also include two full-length dungeons that were cut from the original <i>Wind Waker</i> because Shigeru Miyamoto felt "it had gotten too big for all ages to play."
There's also a screenshot of Link facing off against one of those bird creatures (forget what, haven't played WW in a while) and looks just as amazing as the next Zelda screenshots have. Even little stuff like the health and magic meters look stunning.
Wow, I had intended to preoder Zelda already, but I'm definitely preordering it now!
Since the Louis Riel rebellions of 1885. This is fucking bad. About a two hour drive from where I live. I could have known some of these cops.
Quote: MAYERTHORPE, ALTA. - Four RCMP officers died Thursday when a man with a high-powered rifle began shooting during an investigation into a marijuana grow operation in northwestern Alberta.
"It's my sad duty to inform you that four RCMP officers, four brave young members have been killed in the line of duty," RCMP Assistant Commissioner Bill Sweeney told reporters at a late-afternoon news briefing.

</td> </tr> </tbody></table> In Canadian police terms, said Sweeney, "You'd have to go back to 1885, to the Northwest Rebellion, to have a loss of this magnitude. It's devastating."
Police said a fifth person described as "a male suspect" had been found dead at the scene of the crime, a farm near the hamlet of Rochfort Bridge.
The suspect was known to police, said Cpl. Wayne Oakes.
He added that a number of police officers had been guarding the scene since the night before as part of an investigation into illegal marijuana growing and stolen property.
Two of the dead officers had been among the team who were at the Quonset hut overnight, Oakes said.
Rochfort Bridge is located near Mayerthorpe, a town of 1,700 where the RCMP detachment is based, about 130 kilometres northwest of Edmonton.
Three of the dead officers were members of the Mayerthorpe detachment and the fourth was from the RCMP's Whitecourt detachment.

</td> </tr> </tbody></table> Family members of the slain officers began arriving at the Mayerthorpe detachment Thursday afternoon, some of them weeping as they were escorted into the building by uniformed Mounties.
Officers stopped responding to radio calls
Earlier in the day, Solicitor General Harvey Cenaiko told CBC News that details of the trouble that broke out at about 10 a.m. Tuesday morning were sketchy.
"As far as we know, there's four officers not responding to their radios, so there is an indication that something is serious here," Cenaiko said.
"[The situation] is still active and they have a number of resources that are on scene or going to the scene."
</td> </tr> </tbody></table> Sgt. Rick Oncescu, who is with the RCMP in Calgary, said two SWAT teams were called to the area Thursday morning.
A military spokesman said about 20 soldiers and two armoured vehicles were sent to the area after police called for military assistance at about midday.
George Vanderburg, the provincial politician who represents the area, says he and Cenaiko were briefed on the situation around midday Thursday.
He could not provide further details except to say it was a "very serious and very tragic" situation.
Unbelievable. I suspect that the meth lab and marijuana raids that have been going on lately will have the cops shooting first and asking questions later, should the need arise. Can't say that I blame them.
I know everyone is sick of All Your Base by now, but please, don't judge a flash by it's cover, and just watch this, you'll love it, even if you hate All Your Base :D
Looks like Nintendo realizes that the PSP is going to be serious trouble for them so they have to pull out all of the stops. I just wish they realized this sooner. Still, DS online will be awesome. E3 is going to kick so much ass...
Quote:Speaking of BIG news, here's some: The effort to save Star Trek: Enterprise just got a huge boost. Three anonymous doners working in the aerospace industry have offered a combined contribution of $3 million. According to their official statement: "We think Star Trek and especially its latest incarnation, Enterprise is the kind of TV that should be aired more often. The people responsible at Paramount think this is just a show and we want to tell them, it is not. We are in the commercial space flight industry and would like to testify that at least one out of two of all the actual entrepreneurs involved in this industry has been inspired by Star Trek; and we are not only good at watching TV sci-fi , we are also good at writing checks, big checks. [EDIT] Enterprise needs to be renewed, for the sake of fan loyalty, for being quality TV, for bringing imagination and hope for a better future to our homes, but over all that, for inspiring us so strongly that we have fought all our adult lives to bring that future closer to our children and to us."
