I couldn't help but notice the article was posted on April 1, 2005. I started looking for a date after a few lines into the article.
BTW, wow necrojon posted!
Edit: Sorry for not posting the winners of the contest yet, we will have that very soon. Stndrdc and I have been very busy working on something. We will let everyone see it soon.
So you think Resident Evil is fiction? Well, it may not be that far off. According to the BBC the dead are beginning to wake in a small village in Cambodia. Scientists are trying to study the cause of the "zombies". Is Umbrella Corp. too far off? Spooky...
New Comic. This one is about Sega's Project Altered Beast. I'm not sure if its going to be out in the U.S. or not, but there are some viewable trailers.
For anyone who hasn't entered the contest yet, you have a little less than 48 hours to enter.
Here is the design we came up with. I've had it for few days and remembered I didn't post it yet, sorry.
Thunderstorm over. That means new comic and an owed extra. Hopefully these late comics won't become too much of a habit. As always, sorry for the wait.
Just wanted to remind ALL of our visitors that the contest is still going on. All you have to do is submit to us your name and email address and you will be entered to win one of our cool shirts and possibly an old school gameboy. Four more days left to enter! Remember, we won't give out any personal info. We here at Total GamerZ don't believe in that crap and having an ad free site :)
Also, sorry for the lack of updates. School has been a bitch with the term ending in about two weeks.
EDIT: Oh, and Dive. Check your e-mail. I thought you might need to know the new way :p
This is said to be the actual, final design model for the Xbox 360. I certaintly hope this is true. The design is so original, yet very professional looking. If this is in fact the final model, I will be getting one, no doubt about it.

There is a thunderstorm going on right now, so I run the risk of a power outage. If there is no comic up tonight, this will be the reason. If this is the case the comic will be not only be turned in tomorrow, but I'll also work on a special surprise for the site. Dive out.
The first Xbox 360 ad has been aired to the public. It's a commercial for the MTV debute for the Xbox 360 on Thursday, May 12 at 8:30 CST. I will be watching that for sure. Check it out here
On another note, I have recieved 3 new PSP games for my birthday; Wipeout Pure, Lumines, and Mercury. I will try to post a review for each in the near future.
We added several new features to the website. One is something you may have noticed up in top-right corner of each post box. Each post will be categorized into a category for your viewing pleasure. An archive feature that will allow you to view only articles in that category will shortly follow. Also, we have our new comic archive setup. This will allow for automatic updating of the archives and, each comic page now features fully working next, previous, first and newest comic links! You may also notice a new top banner for the comic pages. After much discussion, I decided to leave our current banner on the main site and replace the comic areas with the new one. Hopefully this will make everyone happy.
-Ryo out - PS. 15 days till new Family Guy!
The comic is finally done! Once again sorry for the delay. I'll be sure to get next weeks turned in on time. Well, here's to hoping that tomorrow's weather won't make head hurt again.
Xbox 360 name confirmed; console design details revealed.
-- Quote:---
British sources have confirmed that the next generation Xbox is indeed called Xbox 360, that the logo is a simple, round nexus, and that the console itself has a concave design - and a platinum white finish.
The name of Xbox's successor is Xbox 360, we can confirm, and the design of the machine is indeed a concave shape.
The machine can stand upright and hollows in at the middle, like it's "sucking in its cheeks," our source told us today. Previous rumours had put the console as light silver, although fresh information says the final design may be white. It's impossible to tell from the documents, our source explained - although the glimpse of the machine's controllers given on viral marketing website OurColony does suggest a platinum-white colour scheme for the hardware.

The above quote confirms some of the images that have been floating around the internet of a white controller. Whether or not they are real or fake, it is interesting how this is falling together.
Microsoft also stated that it will unveil the Xbox 360 on MTV on Thursday, May 12. The system is expected to be released around October/November and I suspect it will have a price around $500. I'm just guessing at the price, but most consoles are launched around that price and anything more than that would be costly. An ideal price range would be a $300-400 price, but we will have to wait and see. Hopefully a price will be announced at E3 along with the rest of the information everyone is begging for. I would love to goto this year's E3, but plans on moving conflict with the time frame.

Don't delay, enter now! But be sure to read the detail and rules.
The contest will go for approximately two weeks, minus a day because I was late on posting this, but should be plenty of time for people to enter. The first winner chosen will receive our very first T-shirt ever made and an original GameBoy (huge, black edition) signed by us here at TotalGamerZ. The second winner will receive our second T-shirt ever made.
Both shirts are limited edition and will come with a certificate of authenticity (sounds sweet, eh? Well, I though it did). Anyways, we hope receive to many entries and wish everyone the best of luck.
For our 2.5 viewers who own a PSP, you know that Windows uses the ugly default removable drive icon for the PSP in the 'My Computer' folder. I have made some custom PSP icons to replace the default icon. All you need to do is download the file below. The file includes an icon and the autorun.inf file. Just drop the autorun.inf and the icon into the main PSP directory and you're all set. If you'd like, you can set the two files as hidden so that you won't have to view them. You might have to remove and reconnect the PSP to see any changes.
After messing around with Ryo's PSP, he convinced me to get one. It's a pretty nifty little device. As Ryo said, the display is amazing, I was blown away when i saw how crisp and clean Spiderman 2 looked. I got Ridge Racer. It's a decent game except for the signature Ridge Racer drifting. I will be getting more games and accessories in the next week or two (birthday). I'll post more later.
Ryo and I are working on a very nice site feature. You'll find out what it is soon.
Well, it seems Soul Calibur III will and won't be PS2 exclusive. It will be exclusive in the sense that it will be the only current console to play the game on. Where as the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Revoultion will the be the next-gen consoles to get the game, at least thats what we hear. I will definitely keep you guys up-to-date as I get additional information.
Great news in the DS field, Metroid Prime: Hunters Full Online Functionality Confirmed.
The game will be fully online and we were as surprised as anyone. Nintendo told us that we should 'think along the lines of Halo 2, deathmatches, online leagues and so on'. It is going to be shown running online at E3 and will hit [in the US] in mid-summer.
Here's to hoping that the news is true.

New Comic. This one should be less confusing. For those who didn't know, the last comic used the Guilty Gear series with a Harry Potter reference. Not much else going on, but the Banner and link buttons will take a little more time to finish. Hopefully I can send a finished version to Ryo before the next comic update.
I know I said I wouldn't get one for awhile for reasons mentioned in an earlier post, but after reading articles about the system, I could not resist.
The first unit I bought was returned due to some dead pixels and some weird scratches on the screen, but the second unit was good. I picked up Need for Speed Rivals as my first game, which I thought would be a good game because it stated it features online gaming, not true (I will explain later). Anyways, as everyone else says, the LCD screen is very nice. Words can't describe how nice it looks, very clear, crisp, and big. The layout of the buttons are laid out pretty nice, except the start & select buttons are hard to get to in the middle of a race. The features are really nice, the mp3 playback, video (UMD & Mpeg 4), picture viewer (only jpeg) and being able to update the firmware (when released) wirelessly with the touch of a button. The storage capability can be expanded to 1 gig, with a Memory Stick pro/Duo, which is plenty of space for many pictures and music albums.
The limited edition system comes packed with: Headphones w/remote, power cable, wrist strap, battery, 32mb duo card, soft padded case, Spider Man 2 (the movie) and a sampler disc filled with movie previews, music videos and game previews. The $250 price tag is not for someone with a tight budget, but I see potential in this little handheld and think it is worth the price.
I will have more insights on this system as I use it more and firmware updates are released to add new features in the coming months. A NFSR review will be posted soon.
Jake at 8Bit Joystick wrote a good review of Sonys PSP. I would write about my thoughts of the PSP, if I could find one to play, but I can't find a store with a demo unit. I want a PSP, I really do, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on a first-gen Sony product that may very well start having problems about a year down the road (PS2 owners can relate). So I will probably wait till some of the issues get worked out (bad pixels, button problems, etc.)
With that said, you should really read this review. The are also some other insights to the system posted on his site.
Some site related news. We are working on sprucing up the site a little bit (comic buttons, site nav. links up at the top, and something else). I would also like to ask Dive if he could explain the comic a bit, I feel I need some info. to get the comic.
Oh, and for you Family Guy fans out there, the new season starts in less than a month!!!
Lois: You're drunk again.
Peter: No, I'm just exhausted 'cause I've been up all night drinking.
New Comic. Not much else to say about it, but check it out anyways. Well, back to drawing and playing Gotcha Force.
