I just got a copy of the rare Discworld game for Playstation, been years since I got to play that one. I lost an auction on EBay for almost thirty bucks, then I found a copy for sale for $25.

I know what most people are thinking: What is Wonderful Days and why should I be interested in it? Well, first of all Wonderful Days is an as yet unreleased anime. That alone does not make it interesting to most people, but unlike most animes this one is made in Korea. Getting interest yet? Well, another thing about it is that it is one the best looking animes EVER!! No exceptions.

It combines CG backgrounds with 2D characters ala Treasure Planet, but looks many times better. Think Final Fantasy quality CG with some of the best looking 2D animation you've ever seen and you'll be close.

The synopsis:

In the future, after the human civilization ended by war and pollution, only those few people who had the power and technology escaped the disaster.
Those people built the last human city of Ecoban.
As its energy source is the pollutant, the people of Ecoban plan to destroy the inhabitants of Marr to get more pollutant.
Standing against Ecoban is a young man who wants only to clear the skies of the clouds to show the wonderful heavens to the girl he loves.

Unfortunately, it doesn't even come out in Korea until April of this year, which means it will be a while before it comes out here.

A few of my friends at school went to a party and decided to make "Jello shots", abuse various "recreational chemicals" and basically act retarded while creating some pictures in the process.

Enjoy!

Party like it's 2003!

Quote:There had long been rumors about a project from Hideo Kojima, the famous game designer from Konami, for Game Boy Advance. In the past months word came out about the game being very unique. Today we know the game is called Boktai in Japanese, meaning My Sun. As Konami has revealed, the game has an add-on that detects natural sunlight. There are not many solid details about the gameplay at this time, but there is a main character named Django and plenty of vampire enemies.

This is my 10,000th post at the lovely Tendo City! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!

So farewell, people. My only goal for being here has always been to reach the 10,000 post count. So good bye.

It's been... shitty, really. You're all just a bunch of cranky bastards. Even LL is cranky. He was never cranky. Perhaps I just bring that out of people.

:D

So long, suckers!!

Very nice... a definite improvement over Burnout 1 for the GC, and that game looked pretty good... :)

Here are a few shots... they've got more at the link above.





Oh... for comparison. X-Box Burnout 2.

This is pretty cool.



Hopefully I'll be going back to Sandusky, Ohio (where Cedar Point is) this summer and ride the Top Thrill Dragster! Two summers ago I rode on the first three (which were all, at one point in time, the tallest roller coasters in the world) when I was in Ohio. And I thought those were scary??? Hopefully this summer I'll be riding the beast on the far left...

Just thought I'd let all you guys know. :)

Take that, subspace!

Quote:Zelda Tops 250,000 Preorders

And the official pre-sell program has yet to start, says Nintendo.

February 13, 2003 - Nintendo of America today announced that more than 250,000 gamers in the US have already pre-ordered its anticipated action-adventure Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. That figure is made all the more impressive, according to the publisher, because it's official pre-sell program for the game has yet to start.
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker follows child hero Link on an all-new epic quest, this time to rescue his kidnapped sister. The game's unique cel-shaded style mingles with traditional play mechanics and never-before-seen additions to the franchise. Wind Waker has repeatedly garnered high praise by the press and Japanese importers alike and is considered to be one of the most important releases of the year.

Nintendo said that on February 16 it would kick off the official pre-sell program for the next chapter in the Zelda series. The firm reiterated that with a deposit for the game at participating retailers, consumers would immediately receive a bonus disc that includes both Ocarina of Time and Master Quest Zelda games free of charge to "keep them busy" until the March 24 release of Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

"This truly is Zelda cubed! Two impressive Zelda games, leading to the highly anticipated new Zelda adventure, for the price of one and only for Nintendo GameCube," said George Harrison, senior vice president, marketing and corporate communications, Nintendo of America. "What better way to celebrate the forthcoming release of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker than to give Zelda fans a collectors item that will provide a nostalgic or for some, a classic introduction to the series."

We'll have much more on Zelda in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

Cool, I got my comment posted at Nintendorks again. This marks the third time I've gotten into a Vibe Entry (the first time was as Daniel Coleman, the rest as OB1). I've also gotten my comments posted in five DRCs. I feel special.

I pulled a Dark Jaguar by being serious while not being serious at the same time:

Quote:Actually there is a real answer to that question. The rumor started in the Japanese gaming magazine V-Jump (or something) and it was about a Gamecube game that was going to star some of their staff, so they were joking by saying that it was going to move a bunch of Gamecubes. Seriously. It was a joke. - OB1

Brandon: WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT YOU!?!

CJ: Seriousness has no place at this house of sarcasm.
