It's a new month, but the update for this month will most likely dissapoint most people. I scanned all 33 pages of the Zelda Collector's Edition Instruction Manual. Go to my main Zelda website if you want to see it. I hope to scan up my new Mafia Comics also soon, but not today, sorry about that, I truly am. I can't wait for the Nintendo Revolution to come out, I want to download so many N64 games, and SNES games, and I really want to play my GCN Games. It will be awesome when the Revolution finally comes out. I'm done with this update, but do browse the Instruction Manual if you're curious.

Sorry, for the lack of updates. I have a horrible cold, the first one, and very likely the only for me, for this year. I also have three projects simulataneously to work on, two are due in a week a day apart, one worth two tests, the other one test. One a 3-5 page paper, the other a 3 - 5 minute speech, and of course a quarter long project with a 10 minute speech, and a big paper. Yep, all that was assigned recently, so no updates have happened, or will happen for awhile. I'm updating today, because I got Tales of Phantasia for Gameboy Advance. It is a good game with voices, good graphics, a unique battle system, good music, and a good storyline. I haven't played far through it yet, so I can't say much more then that, but it isn't a game that will turn people off within a few minutes. There are plently of games like that. By the way that game is part of the "Tales of", series, Tales of Symphonia is a well known Gamecube game by the way. Concerning Dragon Quest VII (Warrior), I am pretty far, and have learned alot about the world he is exploring, and about the war that is in constant progress. With the Demon Lord being revived gaining power, and followers, and God, and God's chosen hero being revived to fight him, things should start getting even more interesting. I may take a break from that game for awhile to get into Tales of Phantasia, but homework, and my personal health are more important.

I posted up 4 more Mafia Comics, and now the second set of 10 comics has been finished off! I learned some interesting things with the Mafia, and Peace Sucks with Mafia XXXV. First of all, the mafia man's last name is White. Second of all, the mafia man is descended from a wild west rogue, and a branch of the Black Family rivaled him in the old west. White vs. Black, a combination that I had never expected. Like many of the other coincidences, it just simply happened. It was not intentional, I actually met a guy name White at my school last year, so it happened, but now it feels like it should have happened a long time ago. This is not racist though, because the Black destroys the White, and I'm white. Plus, there are no black people that I know of, because I haven't made anything detailed enough to require a difference. In a movie I would balance out ethnicities, simply to spice up the action instead of 100 agent smiths fighting neo like in matrix, BORING!!!! I want a whole range of people fighting against the good guy, no racism just spice in the boring soup. Anyways, ABSOLUTELY no more on this subject!!!!! Enjoy the new comics!

Home work I hope is slowing down, it feels like it anyways. I still have one project left, but thankfully only one. I'm reviewing Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence today, because I recently bought it. Subsistence is a 2 - 3 disc game that contains the ultimate version of Metal Gear Solid 3 by giving a really nice camera, new camoflagues, and a horde of special features. Some of them are returning extra features such as boss survival mode, theature mode, and a full re-release of the selected Metal Gear Solid Game, which copies Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, and Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance pretty faithfully. Also there is the return of the Snake VS. Monkey minigames from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and now there are even more of them. The new features that were introduced in this re-release are as follows, an online mode of Metal Gear Solid 3, where you and a bunch of others play as Metal Gear Solid 3 characters in 3 separate modes against eachother online. I haven't yet played that yet. Also there is a secret theater with about 20 - 30 comedy based short movies based off of events in Metal Gear Solid 3. There is also fully playable editions of Metal Gear, and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake built in. This has never been done before, so now you can play the 2 MSX games legally on a different system. Plus, they have better translations than online versions, and have 2 difficulties, and boss survival modes for each when you beat them, also they run smoothly, and fastly without any errors, or flaws. If you like any of these 3 games, or want to play them for the first time GET THIS GAME! Also there is a disc 3, which is a very rare expensive disc with almost no playibility value, but has a lot of commercial value. It comes packaged only in Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence LIMITED EDITION! Limited Edition is very rare, and INSANELY LIMITED! I suggest to go after it right now if you don't already have it, because the longer you wait the harder it will be to get a hold of it, but don't worry because it contains a 3 hour and 40 minute movie that contains editted cutscenes from Metal Gear Solid 3, which are editted into a movie, but these scenes are on disc 2 in the theater mode, but not editted into a movie, and the movie is pretty boring, and super long. Anyways don't get Limited Edition in an effort to play it, get it for its commercial value, and sell it for a few thousand dollars in a few years. If you want to enjoy this fabulous game buy the common version, the un-limited edition, that doesn't have limited edition stamped on it, that is green instead of red. I personally don't have limited edition, and don't regret it, because limited edition ranges from $80 - $300, and regular is only $30 at max, and I bought it for $24, because it was on sale. Seriously for a useless third disc you will pay $100 more don't get killed over a game. This game was only meant for pre-order geeks, and they are the only ones that got it, other then the jerks selling it on ebay, and the losers forking over the cash to them. Anyways your choice, get the game, play it, and enjoy it.

I beat Metal Gear Solid 3 at last through Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. It's true that this version has an easier difficulty, and I did take advantage of that, but the new camera was VERY nice, and using my new found knowledge of cheating The End out of a fight, I implemented as well. All in all I created the easiest run through Metal Gear Solid 3 possible, but it was really fun to play, and I can't wait for Metal Gear Solid 4, also playing Metal Gear Solid 3 online sounds pretty inviting as well. Playing Metal Gear, and Metal Gear 2 on Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence is also quite fun as well. Once I beat those two games I will have finally gotten the complete Metal Gear Experience. By the way inspired by playing Metal Gear Solid 3 through to completion, got me working on my old Metal Gear Access website, and now its a whole lot better, though I haven't worked much on the time line, the biographies for the characters are substancially updated. I even added one on Revolver Ocelot, as he is pretty important to the plot. Now, that I think on it though, I am dissapointed in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots, because it seems, occording to Hideo Kojima, to be the last game in the series, and it seems to be a deep future end of the the Metal Gear Legacy. It feels like the very end of the series. With Snake dieing, and his brothers dead by his own hand, as well as his father. The only way they could make it worse is to kill off Ocelot pre-emptively, and have stopped the manufacturing of Metal Gears completely. It feels horrible, because they are leaving a major hole between Metal Gear Solid 2, and 4, well, it at least feels that way. Hideo Kojima seems to confirm the whole to be permanent too. By the way I also updated the old news gallery by moving all the february posts into it, now there is a year 3 page in there.

I have nothing to put onto the site today, but I have things to say. I have the next two Ninja Fights in progress. This is highly unusual for me, but as I began developing the plan for Ninja Fight XIV I came up with a completely new idea, and this idea replaced the old one, but I still like the old one, and have kept it, so now I have TWO idea's, and literally THEY have become the next two Ninja Fight's. I haven't really started them yet, and won't today, but here's the plan for them. Joe faces a cyborg Ninja with a blade grafted arm in Ninja Fight XIV, and Joe faces a machine gun bearing man in Ninja Fight XV. My old policies for Ninja Fight are gone, so don't fear these, because of older editions. No, now if there is a man with a gun he shoots it, and shoots it to his hearts content, and Joe gets injured, he has gotten his legs, arms, and chest shot up, I believe he even got shot in the head. Plus, he got nuked, and sliced up his own head. He won't die, and I won't deny him a second life if he does, but he WILL get injured just like in the more recent editions, policies for these have changed. X marked the sign of change, and change was necessary. Now, Joe is not the predator Joe is the victor of a brutal intense fight this is how it is, and he isn't invincable, and indestructible. He isn't really just a thrill seeker killing everything in sight. He is now more human than he ever has been before. I can't wait to start working on these two new ones, but it will most likely be awhile. Anways that's what's up, and new. Chubes is enjoying his birthday today. That is all, and good riddens my fellow internet viewers. I hope you will enjoy what is yet to come with the Ninja Fight Series. Update: I've added the links to my two new sites, though they are not new. Now, you can at least get to them.
April:

It's April. No, April Fools Joke like last year. I got Mario + Luigi Super Star Saga finally, and it's cool. I also got Metroid Prime Hunters for the DS. It's cool you should get it, I'm too mad at wifi service to comment, but get the game it is the best wifi game, It's hard to be good at the game, so don't cry like a baby when you lose. The single player should be good. The voice speaking in wifi is a plus. For the monthly update here's Bandit II, a pivot it's short, and sweet, but don't complain I'm in a bad mood over Metroid.

I beat Metal Gear on Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence today! I was a bit dissapointed, because there was almost no story involved throughout the game, and alot of cutscenes made me feel like saying DUH! Plus, there wasn't anything surprising. It's Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake that begins the true Metal Gear story that is expected in the Metal Gear Solid games. Just reading small fragments of story from Metal Gear 2 has made that very clear. Anyways I've now beaten Metal Gear, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. I have yet to beat Metal Gear Solid 3, and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Metal Gear 2 will come first, Metal Gear Solid 3 is just like Subsistence, but worse, and I don't want to play it at all. With a harder difficulty, and a HORRIBLE camera I'm not exactly thrilled at the concept of beating it. Anyways due to me beating another Metal Gear game, I updated my Metal Gear Website AGAIN! This time I gave better character portraits for all the characters on the Family Tree Page, and I added a little bit of Info to the Timeline. That's all for now, and probably all for awhile, because school is continuing to be a roller coaster ride, and it will get faster until in stops in may in the week of E3, how appropriate huh? My school Speech week is E3 Week, and my speech is on Thursday most likely, which is the second day of E3. Funny, because E3 week was the Speech IT Week last year also. IT is what we call our projects, which 8 - 12th graders participate in.
There I said it, I'm in HIGH SCHOOL. Enjoy the Update, and be thankful E3 Week won't be as stressful for you, as it will be for me.

It's been awhile since I last came here. My IT, as I call it is coming along fine, I have only a speech to write left, with a paper, and painting, I'm doing well. Unfortunatly, I'm not good with speechs, it's the only thing in the project that WILL hurt me, and it's what's left. Two days ago, I bought Brain Age for the Nintendo DS. It is well made, and does what it promises. This game came out three days ago. For those that don't know, this game is meant for brain excercise. It has word memorization games, math problem answering, voice recognition games, and read aloud games. It even has sudoku. This game is meant to stimulate, and excercise the brain, as weight lifting is meant to excercise your muscles, this is meant to excercise your brain. Plus this game is only $20. Overall this game does what it says it will, and truly does excercise the brain. My brain after 20 - 30 minutes will begin to pulse from all the burst of activity. It feels pretty good to get it working. Lately my math ability has shot WAY up too! This game is fun, it's not all work. It is worth looking into. If only for Sudoku, get this game, you won't regret it. With Sudoku, you are told when you imput a correct number, and you are also told when you imput an incorrect number, so it doesn't feel impossible like it would normally. What I mean to say is, that it is easier in this then on paper, and more fun then on paper. There, that's my latest DS review. I don't know when I will update next, but don't worry too hard about it.

Brain Age isn't what it seems. I've been playing it a bit each day for 11 days straight, and some days I don't feel like playing it. The constructive criticisim from the doctor in it, makes me want to break my DS, because I'm getting tired of the game, and when I'm tired I have HORRIBLE scores on it, plus unlocking the FULL game takes probably a full month of active participation in the game, and it drives me nuts doing that. I bought the movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children today, and watched it, and all the extra features for 3 hours straight. It was absolutely wonderful, and surpassed my expectations. It was a great movie, and really lived up the the original game by giving more emotion to the characters, but giving it in good doses within the borders of the characters. The movie ended up great, and now I'm more enthusiastic for the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core looks good with Zack, and Cloud journeying to Midgar for a year. I can't wait for that even though it is on PSP. I don't have one, but I might get one for that game. Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII looks great, but its only on cell phones, and I'm not about to buy a cell phone for a game EVER! That really is too bad for me too. Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerebus looks good story wise, but I'm not excited about the action genre taking over it. In other words these games are stretched so far, that most people can only enjoy one, or maybe two total. If they port Final Fantasy VII to the PSP, then things will work themselves out. PSP would have Crisis Core, VII, and Advent Children. Before Crisis, and Dirge of Cerebus wouldn't be there, but at least those three would be there. My school IT is... near completion. In-class speech on monday, graded speech the a week from the following thursday. That's right, my IT is on the thursday of E3, the exact center of E3. It's been nice knowing you... whoever any of you are... This is me, signing off for the month of April, get ready for May Day everyone. |
