New Comic! Figured I'd do a special one for the Memorial Day weekend, at the risk of irritating all of the FF VII fans.

I did a little searching on IGN today and stumbled upon a game for the PSP that I haven't heard of. Now, while there is no game information at all, IGN may very well know something we do not. I am a very big fan of the Harvest Moon series and would love to see the series come to the PSP. I saw the link for Harvest Moon under the PSP section. Link provided here. Here's to hoping IGN isn't playing a mean trick on us HM fans.
Oh, by the way. Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town is being simultaneously released with Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life.
HM:MFMT
EDIT: Found the same thing on Harvest Moon Portable at GameSpot
IGN has released several new screen shots of the game. Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life is an updated version of the original Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life.
"Not only is the main character in the game a girl, all the romance scenarios have been completely changed to work better from the viewpoint of the female player. There are five male non-player characters to pursue -- which of course comes in addition to all the standard farm work, tending to crops, expanding the house, and taking care of farm animals. Like its predecessor, the game can be linked up with the Game Boy Advance installment in the series."
The game is set to be released on July 12, 2005 in the US, just four days after its Japanese release.

"Now that it's been announced at E3, I can finally reveal that the Xbox 360 feature I work on is... Xbox backwards compatibility!
Xbox backwards compatibility is a unique project in so many ways, and I feel very fortunate to get to work on it. I'm sure it will be the hardest technical challenge of my career -- I can't imagine what could possibly top it in terms of sheer technical difficulty."
The site update is now complete, but the forums are down.
We are experiencing problems with the new skin and could be down for a few days.
Edit: The RecentPosts and latestreviews will also be down until we get the forums back up and running again.
The new design is finally up!
There are still some kinks to be worked out, but is functional for the most part. The comics section is a little ragged, along with a few other areas, but I am working on that.
Please excuse our mess and enjoy!
New Comic. This is about the new Ys game to hit the states. For those who have never played a Ys game before, check it out. Hopefully this means more Falcom games in the states as well.
Around seven pictures of the system. Nintendo is not showing the controller yet, so it looks like we will have to wait on that. I like the white and light silver color for the system and the blue loading slot.
I have nothing to say, but holy shit.
Watch it Now.
Since the unvieling of the Xbox360 and the PS3, Nintendo finally decided to give everyone a peek at what is in store for us. The design is nice and simple but I dont know how it will hold up to the power of the PS3 and the Xbox360.
You can read more about it here.
Sony has finally unvieled the PS3. The Playstation 3 which is confirmed to be released sometime in 2006 will not be near as powerful as the Xbox360 but the specifications do look very promising. It will be backwards compatible with previous Playstation and Playstation 2 games. It will also use the new Blu-ray disc format. The console will also have built in wireless networking which will enable the PSP to act as a remote. I'm excited about it, but not near as much as the Xbox360.
Full article and specs here.
New Comic. I'm still feeling kinda sick, but that shouldn't keep me from entering next week's comic on time. For those who maybe confused, this comic is based off of the game "Rumble Roses". I never understood why wrestling and fighting games always had un-stealthy ninjas...
Don't forget that tonight on MTV Microsoft will reveal the Xbox 360 at 8:30pm CST.
Sorry for the lack of updates, Stndrddc and I moved into an apartment and we just got hooked up to the internet.
Engadget has released more leaked pictures of the Xbox 360. The first picture shows the system, xb live headset, and the camera. The second picture is a close-up view of the controller.
Compared to previous pictures, the controller is starting to shape-up. They also have a picture of the Xbox 360 Windows Media Remote Control.

New comic. I know Ninja Gaiden has been out for a long time, but I just wanted to use Ryu in a comic for a while. Plus its a great set up for next weeks comic.
I was surfing around and came across this Korean Nintendo site. It seems to be some sort of reference tool for the DS. But seriously Nintendo, why use such vulgarity? Haha. This is in fact true, hope it gives everyone a good laugh
Here is the actual site (remember that it is in Korean).
Touch! Dic!
No, the world is not coming to an end. At least I don't think it is. I am posting for the third time this week. OK, now take the time to pick your jaw up off the floor. I'll wait....alright. The reason I am posting is to share some more interesting links with you. Only one is video game related, but the others are pretty good. Let's get started:
I'll let the link names explain themselves.
FYI: freezing your mom is a bad idea.
A man's second-hand pants just aren't safe anymore.
I'm hungry, but DAMN that's a big burger!
The nation's #1 killer: video games.
Also, congrats to [EV3]Sniperfox and TrEnDzOrWeNdZoR for winning the contest!
That's all for now. I will post again soon.
Alright, almost one week later (Sorry) but the last two or so weeks of the term are always packed full of reports and other fun stuff. Without further to do, the winners are: [EV3] Sniperfox & TrEnDzOrWeNdZoR. Congratulations and be sure to contact me with the email addresses you signed up with for shipping information. More contests will be held, so be sure to keep a look out!
Another reason for few updates (maybe...) is that Stndrddc and I have been working on something for the site. We are nearing completion and would like to issue a "teaser."
Well, it seems the zombie things may have been a prank given the date of April first. I have searched further and further on the net and found nothing whatsoever on the issue. I do know, however, that THIS is legit. I have heard of it from multiple sources. How strange.
