Enough fun to make your thumbs sore!
Sunday, May 27th, 2001

The Video Games Section has been revised and now contains more information, release dates, more pictures, and a brand spanking-new write-up about Super Smash Brothers 2!  I've also updated the Episode Guide and have fixed the link to the Jouto League Screenshots (the sidebar won't work, tho.  I'll fix it when I fix that section).

Next up is the Lyric Archive.

You like updates, don't you?

Of course you do.  So I've got a new Rant up on the whole Kids' WB!-Toonami thing going on.  I've also gotten a new bio up for Ookido-Hakase in the Humans' Bios section, since a bio for all three doctors on one page is kinda crazy.  And I went in and fixed the Old News Archive.  I've fixed the Pokemon Name List with the revised copyright information.

Here's some news for you guys.  As you may have heard, 4Kids has a new show premiering on Kids' WB! this fall called "Cubix."  Here's what to expect:

Cubix "Robots for Everyone!" follows the adventures of 13-year-old Connor, a robot whiz, who through the power of friendship brings to life a robot named Cubix that has been discarded as useless.  When the town's wacky mad scientist, the evil Dr. K., begins to steal robots in search of a mysterious power source, Cubix and the gang prove to be the only force that can oppose him and new heroes are born. 

 The show is set in an amazing world called Bubble Town, where robots are everywhere and serve every function -- from hot dog vendors to gym teachers to best friends. Cubix is a futuristic story of action, adventure and an uncommon friendship.

Next up is the Video Game section with information on Super Smash Brothers 2.

*I feel sooo stupid...I forgot to upload the new rant yesterday.  It's up now, so if you tried to look at it before and couldn't get to it, you should be able to now.

Humans' Bios Section Updated
Monday, May 21st, 2001

The Humans' Bios section has been updated, with fixed links, added some information about Matsumoto Rika-which will interest Outlaw Star fans-and Ueda Yuuji on the Seiyuu page, the American name of one of the Gold-Silver gym leaders.  I've also changed the page colors because I was getting tired of the March theme.  The image-of-the-week will have to wait because for some reason, my image program doesn't feel like cooperating with me.

Next up is a new Bio and Rant.

International Pokemon section updated, Rants revamped
Saturday, May 12th, 2001

After cleaning through some old e-mail (some of it from January!), I've updated the International Pokemon section.  I have a bunch of information about the Portugese version of Pokemon and a small addition to the French Pokemon page.  I also got all the glitches out of the the Rants page.

I've found out why the pages are gllitchy, and am in the process of correcting them (as well as fixing pre-existing erros and funky things in the layout).  All the links in the Internatioanl Pokemon section should be fixed.  Next up will be the Humans' Bios section.

Finally back to normal...sorta kinda...

Guess who's back...?

I was working on moving the site to a new server, only to find that that server (Dreamwater) is extremely glitchy, only to have to upload my entire site AGAIN to its new home, envy.nu.  All the meanwhile, I'm having to help my brother move into his new apartment, two projects to do for school, a website for my Theatre Arts class, a prom to get ready for, an AP Lit exam, scholarships and job applictions to fill out...but now that the BIG part's over, updates will be much more timely.  envy.nu may be a little slow and may only give me 20MB of space, but if it means that I don't have to relocate my site again I'll take it.  Plus there are no pop-up adds ^^;;.  The only thing is that some of the pages may be glitchy due to incorrect links, but I'll fix them when I update that particular section next.  I was just tired of working on my site for weeks just to get it back to normal. 

Now I can get back to doing REAL updates!  First up is the Episode Guide.  Not only do I have the last American episode titles for the current American season, but I've marked where the various seasons begin and end.

Also, because sites are vanishing or moving at a rapid rate, I ask anyone who I've linked to to make sure that the address is up-to-date.  That's one reason that the "Cool Places" thing on the bottom of the sidebar on every page was removed...at any time, either one of those sites could move.  The Links section will be the next section updated.

Yesterday, I bought this "Magni-Lens" from Babbages.  It's this little screen that you put over your Game Boy Color that's supposed to magnify the screen while protecting it from scratches.  It's a good idea.  If there are two things I'd change about the Game Boy, I'd make the screen backlit (Game Boy Advance's screen won't be...) and let them be replacable.  When the screen gets too scratched up, just replace it.  I know a LOT of people who have the most scratched-up screens, even when they keep them in their Game Boy cases and everything.  So anyway, I buy this screen, thinking that at least one of the problems had been solved.  Well, it bombed.  Not only does it do a lousy job of magnifying while cutting off the edges of the screen, it also produces its own glare.  Meaning you have the glare of your own screen being ampliphied by this "Magni-Lens."  You can't get the light you need, so you can't see a thing on the screen.  I was playing Pokemon Gold in direct sunlight and still couldn't see a thing.  When I took the screen off, it was fine.  So a word to the wise-don't waste your money on this.  It's made by Naki, and has a face drawn on the box saying "I am Color Boy™ not scraface boy."

It's May Sweeps time, meaning that all the networks are bringing out all-new episodes of their best shows to get more funding.  That's why Kids' WB! has been advertising each new episode of Pokemon that they get.  And that's why we've been getting one new episode a week.  While Kids' WB! is finally getting on the right track as far as spacing out their new episodes goes, they still can't really do anything to episodes that weren't all that great in Japanese.  Japan's approaching its 200th episode, and many fans could care less.  I just hope that something is done soon to make better episodes, but the last ones have really sucked (except for today's episode...I like Waninoko ^_^).  I only wonder how many people will still be watching pokemon when Kids' WB! unleashes the "new Poke-Rap" next weekend.  Give me Ieru Ka Na? Neo any day of the week.
