May 2004 Archives

DBG comics no longer available on the website. May make a return at some point in time :)

This installment of the DragonBall G series involves Radtitz (Raditz) thinking he found Crackertwat (Goku/kakarot). But instead he finds PickleHo (Piccolo), who tries to kill Radtitz and fails.

I am sorry for the delay in posting this strip, but this week was a busy one. I am hoping that we can get the word out about the website. I tried emailing some websites and was told they would check it out, but no word as of now. It would be nice to get some sort of feedback, even if it says our site sucks. Anyways, I am off the wonderful land called the internet.

I would like to share this link with you all.

That website has a lot of Family Guy quotes. They are sorted in categories like: Character, Episode, Genre, etc. Very funny site.

Here are a few quotes that I like from Peter:

#1
Meg: I just want to kill myself I'm gonna go upstairs and eat a whole bowl of peanuts.
(Lois and Peter stare in silence)
Meg: I'm alergic to peanuts.
(Peter and Lois keep staring)
Meg: You dont know anything about me. (runs upstairs)
Peter: Who was that guy?

#2
Peter: Oh my god, Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits. It says, 'Oooooo.'
Brian: Peter, those are Cheerios

Funny, funny stuff indeed.

After reading a rather enlightening post by the guys over at Penny Arcade, I have decided to forgo all knowledge of KOTOR II and just buy it when it comes out, for good or ill.

Can he resist reading the information? The Shiny, Red, CANDY-LIKE information? Only time will tell...

The reviews are now online. I think every section of the site is now back up. Expect some additional insights/reviews coming soon, which are listed on the reivews page. It took a long time to reformat the reviews to the new layout of the website, but I think they look much better. They have been changed to one page, instead of three.

As for the rest of the site, all that I really need to do is reformat the individual comic pages to match the final style and the site should be TOTALLY complete. I am still waiting for some feedback from staff on how the new posting style looks. Anyways, I want to finish this stuff.

Here I am with another weekly update. As promised, we have a new comic. In fact, a comic that is being released on the net for the first time! This is a continuation to our last comic "Smash, Slash, Leave!" Ryo has apparently broken into Game Co and stole some secret device that can review games and do other "top-secret" things. Stay tuned for part 3 of this series.

The website is bearing its new look. For the first time, I am happy with the way it functions and looks. I just got off the phone with a friend and we were talking about one of his web site ideas and I just thought of a way to format these posts. Jon thinks it still needs work, as do I. Hopefully I will have something to show in the next day or two.

Anyways, enjoy the comic and post on the forums. Which brings something to mind.... Doug has yet to make a 'REAL' post on the site and to converse on the forums. He needs to make his presence heard. I seem to remember him saying something about City of Heroes, or what ever that game is. Maybe he should talk about it here. What do you think?

I was talking with a buddy of mine at work today and I asked him what games he was most looking forward to seeing when they come out. The results are listed below.

Full Spectrum Warrior
Developer: Pandemic Studios
Platform: XBOX, PC
Release: Scheduled for Summer/Fall 2004
Premise: You are a squad leader. Your troops are placed in hostile urban warfare situations. Your job is to command your elite forces using environmental cover and military tactics to defeat your enemies with minimal loss. This game is based on a game commissioned by the U.S. Army to train its ground forces. Slip into command of the greatest army in the world!

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Developer: RockStar Games
Platform: PS2, PC
Release: October 2004
Premise: If you've played GTA III or Vice City you probably know mostly what to expect...mayhem. A lot of it. This sequel is rumored to take a peek into Chinese and Mexican gang life in California. Oh, what fun!

Half Life 2
Developer: Valve Software/Sierra Games
Platform: PC
Release: Summer 2004
Premise: You are Gordon Freeman, a scientist who has the unfortunate task of rescuing a starved planet Earth from little green men from outer space. No problem, you had your wheaties right? This game promises to be even better than its award winning predecessor: Half Life.

Stay tuned to TGZ for more up to date information about these and many more games.

I am making more and more progress on the new design. The individual archive pages have been updated. To see it, goto any post on the main page(including this one), and click comments. I suggest clearing your temporary internet cache frequently for the next couple of days when viewing this website. If you don't, you may be looking at an older version. I changed our voting banner for TWC to display our overall rank.

Ah, the enjoyment of the new website feature...

Here it is, direct from E3, The Legend of Zelda GameCube trailer. This is a link to the video on IGN.

It runs about 2 minutes. Enjoy!

I can't wait any longer. I want to post something on the main site with our new program. I must tell our visitors to please excuse the mess, as I am still working on the design. It looks a lot better than it did yesterday and the archives are slowly being renovated.

If anyone is having ANY problems, please describe them in the comments section provided below.

I would like to thank Jake at 8bit Joystick for providing his source for MT. It greatly helped me learn how MT functions and works. The part I mostly used was the posting code that will be used on the front page of this website.

This is all I have to say for now.

I am slowly making more and more progress!! I think I have the main archive page coding done.

Take a look here!

I am still messing with the Design and Colors, but it works! This thing should automatically archive every post and sort them by month, if all goes to plan. (crosses fingers till June) I still need to tinker around with this main page a little bit more, once I do that I think we can release this to the public :-)

Anyways, almost time for dinner. Hopefully this will be out and about soon.
