Couldn't breathe Mud.
We're running behind.. or are we? Tommorrow some reviews, but today.. I have well.. I did some stuff for the Snowflake Studios. Added DMG Files Artist Comments, and the Viral Speakers Archives online. Oh, and there are two new Ice Box comics! As well as umm.. I was working on a large Viral Speak.. and umm... I took a look at Meowthar's Comic and it'll show up in Snowflake Studios soon. Bwa ha ha! Anyways, I've lost a ton of Game Boy Mafia submissions. If you have submitted a site for it and have not heard from me or been put on it yet.. write me back. I mean it. ^_^ And umm.. I um.. I.. I DID NOTHING.... *sob* But, I had fun.. Adrock is working on the Pallet Gym stuff.. so it should be up by the end of the week.. well.. some more of it anyways. Umm.. LOOK! Poppy Seed! -PAW-

 

Never mind. (12/12/2000:3:55AM)
I tried that type of updateing and I hated it. I do, however like dateing articles. So I'll do one more date. Yeah.. I DO update at odd hours.. don't I? Back to updateing normally! Anyways, since you've been really patient.. I'm letting Adrock pretty up some of the Pallet Gym Fan Fics for later this week.. and besides a Snowflake Studios update.. there are five new reviews in our reviews section. ^_^ I'm leaving yesterday's "updates" below so you can enjoy them. The reviews are games like Cannon Fodder, Donkey Kong Country, Ultima: Runes of Virtue and other things.. Oh, good. ^_^ I may be near broke.. but I'm happy. I was worried too much.. I'm teetering over the ledges here; but I'll make it. I always do, God willing. I always land on my feet. -PAW-

A little more a-saleing..(12/11/2000:10:45PM)
Woody Woodpecker Racing, Project S-11, Force 21, The Emperor's New Groove, and Grand Theft Auto 2 have all shipped and should be on shelves this week. YAY. There you go.. -PAW-

Games and Ship. (12/11/2000:10:10PM)
Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Robopon: Sun Version from Atlus shipped today. It has a built-in alarm, speaker, and Infa-red port so it can communicate with all sorts of devices, and it can tell you when it wants attention. Heh. That all sounds okay.. but whether or not fancy gadgets make a game GOOD remains to be seen. Oh, for those wondering Dragon Warrior 3 is coming to the USA.. expect in this summer. Oh, some sales data too! What games sold well this from November 19th to the 25th acording to the NPD TRSTS? Here you go.

10. Mission: Impossible
9. Rugrats in Paris
8. Frogger
7. Powerpuff Girls: Bad Mojo Jojo
6. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
5. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
4. Donkey Kong Country
3. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
2. Pokemon Silver
1. Pokemon Gold

Mission: Impossible's price of $6 at an enormous amount of retailers.. has pushed it into the list. The Rugrat's made an ill-deserved showing. Frogger made it to the list, despite Frogger 2 being superior. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup beat back a lot of competition to end up in Seventh. Tony Hawk skated away with 6 and 7. Donkey Kong Country, despite only being available for a little more than half that period, came off with fourth place; because DK is just.. like that.. ya know? Mario evaded Donkey Kong; but the Gold/Silver knock-out punch was too much to handle. Yellow, Red, Blue, Pinball, and Card got beaten back by a lot of things. It remains to be seen if Pokemon Puzzle Challenge can regain some Pokemon ground. -PAW-

Tex's Instruments! (12/11/2000:9:45PM)
Slitherine, the name has nothing to do with Snape. Anyways, you like their comics? Sure you do. They now have the THIRD T. Tex comic strip up! Go read the adventures of our favorite Cowboy with no face. Then check out their contest and see if you can write a better story than Slitherine. -PAW-

Sound it.(12/11/2000:4:00AM)
Radio DMG updated. Just wanted to mention it. And Snowflake Studio is running a little behind.. Keenspace had some server difficulties; but that's caused by traffic to them.. some of those strips get tons of traffic. More later!.-PAW-
 

Welcome to New.(12/11/2000:12:40AM)
You with us? Okay.. good. Here's the deal. We're going to be updateing articles a bit differently now. To make sure there is plenty of content, and so I can get another job safely because my funding has been cut by 90%; we're changeing how news is covered here. See those numbers to the right of the newsity title? That's Month/Date/Year/Time in Central Time. That is writen in non-intrusive Dark Grey. That's means that we updated. Staff Comments can be sent and put up at anytime of the day that the article was put up on. We have an article limit of twelve and we're stepping up news coverage and stuff like that. I suggest when you do read this that -even if you don't believe in a supreme deiety- say a little prayer for a company. They could use some help. And for those who day-trade or buy stocks.. those in the know buy SNOW. Screw Intel, they aren't as realistic with their loses as they should be. I'm sure it will pay off; do it for Foy. Or be a jolly supporter and visit Snowflake Studios and then rant and rave to the nice Mrs. Crosby about how it's Keenspot material. If it helps.. tell Chris I like Alf. Or buy lots of stuff from our store. Oh, to Snowflake Studios Artists. Check out the place that hosts the DMG Ice store, and make your own merchandise. Why? Because, that's cool, it's free, and I would kinda appreciate it if you put down that I referred you. *grins* I'll also link to the stores on Snowflake Studios and you'll get a chance through Snowflake Studios (An off-spring of dmgice.com) to make some money. I KNOW everyone likes making money. So, I'm urgeing our current run of artists to make stores. ^_^ Hey.. I know I wouldn't mind a nice Ambidextrous Paul and Ivan Mousepad, or a Viral Speakers Shirt. But, those aren't my own strips and if I ever wanted to sip coffee out of a Usual Supects Coffee mug, or toss a DMG Files shirt into the laundry. I think Josh has a store for The Nolans, and that's cool. Maybe he should also sell Lieber Man shirts? Come to think of it.. with the election mess as it is.. most Democrats would love a "Face my Super Lieber B*tch Slap!" shirt, and most Republicans would enjoy a "Shouldn't parents decide?" shirt. The gears in my head are turning! Check back later for most awesome more updates! And I'm going to tell you what you need to buy this Christmas. As for what I said I would get done this weekend.. I apologize. I got a check Saturday and well.. I was in a really deep depression.. then I got really tired and well.. I'm better now. I've got some other things up my sleeves, and it's time to roll up those sleeves and let those ideas loose. I may have gotten knocked back a few spaces this weekend; but I'm coming out swinging now. -PAW-

December Stuff.
Previous newsity for your textual pleasure.

From 3PM to 4PM, Blue's Sister will groom your Pokemon; but sadly.. she won't do you. YAY!

Exploitation Now!
Heh. Anyways, check out this article at Democrat Funded Media Source "CNN". Remember that when you read it, this is CNN. CNN is an extremely liberal news source. I prefer MSNBC to CNN. I prefer Chat Newsgroups to Fox. (Although those are basically the same thing.) After you read the CNN bit, read this review at Daily Radar that I saw and couldn't help but like. I'm almost tempted to buy that to review it myself. I just might.. this line convinced me. "If you don't tell them, they try and guess. It's all very disturbing." I like disturbing. ^_^ -PAW-

Ice Blue: It's Akemi's birthday... let's dance... and forget everyone else's birthdays on their repected dates.
Akemi yawns.
Philip: Well.. actually.. Akemi's birthday was the 13th; but today is the 14th.
 

Pallet Gym?
Hmm.. I wasn't sent all the Pallet Gym Fanfics.. and the site wasn't really closed. Hmm. Click here to see all the fanfics as they were. I only got a handful of them. Apparently only Dragon Coin Winners. But since this is up still, I know what order some of them were in. After reading more into some of these.. what is everyone's obsession with hooking up Ash and Misty? Some of these are almost lemons. O_O But, oh, well. We'll put up what we have, when we finish it. It isn't easy. Josh uses a different archiveing system. He uses numbers. 1 through 100+ or so. I like to use numbers only for certain things. I use names for archives in the Memorial. Because I gotta remove the previous CheatPlanet Ad banners. I'm useing a Folder name with 1,2, etc inside. So, My Best Friends would be /mbf/index.html then mbf/1.html and so on. Josh was useing something where mbf would be 21.html, then 21a.html, 21b.html, and etc. It's all very confusitating. So, if you're waiting for new updates to the older ones, be patient. It's a technical difficulty. -PAW-

Ice Blue: You know... I should read it before I comment... but I'm too lazy.
Akemi: Join the club.. 
Philip: I should read them before I write them.. oh.. wait.
 

Mi Familia.
Listen, people. The Game Boy Mafia has induced two new members. Give a look to "All Game Boy, All The Time", "Game Boy Zone", and "Game Boy Camera Central". And for those who applied and aren't in yet.. send your information again please. -PAW-

Ice Blue in a weak voice: We will take care of you, because we are family...
Akemi: Welcome to the gang.. We'll be sending you the tattoo design you have to get on your butt soon.
Philip: Or on your right ankle like all members.. bwa ha ha!
 

Finally.
You can exhale now.Viral Speak has updated. Oh, it's a special one. ^_^ -PAW-

Ice Blue: Speak your Viralness.
Akemi: Ooh... Special....
Philip: It's the 13th's on the 14th!

Clefairy dance on Monday Nights.YAY!

Shooting off.
Howdy Ho! Anyways, this is Philip and I'm going to talk and rant a little. Just saw some pictures of Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. I think she looks more like Lt. Ripley in the first Alien movie; but with different hair. I'm sorry... that's just my opinion. I would like to say that the latest sales data in Japan looks nice. With Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters in it's newest triad of incarnations taking all three top spots, followed closely by Dragon Quest III. Not bad. The Wonderswan Color sold in fifth with it's Final Fantasy remake. I thought so. The Wonderswan Color and the game are selling at a 1:1 ratio. In other words, people only want it for THAT game. Final Fantasy Wonderswan came in Sixth place. Game Boy Color effectively shut out the four slots in Top Five. I also got Lunar 2 in the mail today. YAY! Raise your hand if you would love to see Working Designs do stuff on the Game Boy Color. I know I would. And that is one of the reasons I didn't really update tonight.. enjoy old news! Oh, Sgt. Rock got released. Yay. Lunar 2 is in stores now too. I suggest getting it. Snowflake Studio.. as usual... updated! -PAW-
 

New STUFF!
Okay, look at the bottom of the page. Notice that Netword thing? Why not check it out. Snowflake updated!. Okay, it updated earlier; but hey.. I forgot to mention the new AT Freak Show and Ice Box: Next comics! YAY! -PAW-

Delugia
La la la. Reviews. Okay.. here's a bunch of them. Just a lot. Oh, I would also like to mention something from Famitsu. Everyone likes to quote Famitsu. Everyone likes to show you their review scores. Even though they have the same limp-wristed review scheme as EGM. (I'm sorry, I just don't like their review system.) Ahem.

Grandia: Parallel Trippers = 6-6-7-5 (24 / 40)
Pocket Monster Crystal (Nintendo, RPG) = 9-8-8-9 (34 / 40)

Those scores meant that while playing Grandia: Parallel Trippers, reviewer number four must have been going through some tough time or was currently recovering from a successful lobotomy. We wish him a speedy recovery. Remember that Famitsu isn't accurate at all. It's a lot like a butterfly ballot. Famitsu gave Perfect Dark (N64) a very not perfect score a while back. So, trust on your own. In that matter.. here's a ton of our own reviews from our readers. -PAW-

Philip: These are the reviews I meant to put up earlier. There are eight new reviews.. and that leaves.. well.. I still have over ten reviews left in backlog.. O_O I'll get them up soon too. ^_^ 

Special Note!
I-Land was doing some matinence or something.. anyways.. they cut me off online and I wasn't able to get back on until 4AM. O_O So, I wasn't able to get all the stuff I wanted to get up tonight. :( BUT! It's a weekend! YAY! I did update Snowflake Studios! -PAW-
 

The NewKidCo Stops Here.
NewKidCo has shipped two games, now run very fast and away! The first has Nickelodeon's old pre-Rugrat's poster boy Doug Funny in his own little game with "20 gameplay enviroments". (Which means.. levels) As our hero tries to save his girlfriend Patti Mayonnaise. He gets to be "Quailman" in the game too. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any levels where Doug must protect the two or three fans he actually has from evil corporate ABC Borgs bent on making his show even worse. The second game is based on the PBS show "Dragon Tales". Having never actually cared to tune into PBS, I have no idea what the show IS. The game does have 15 levels and "challenge and fun". Go figure. Anyways both "Disney’s Doug: Doug’s Big Game", and "Dragon Tales - Dragon Wings" are rated "E" for "Elegy" and have a Suggested Retail Price of $29.95 respectively. -PAW-

Jazz: Although you may want to ask for a recount on that.
Philip takes the stick away from Jazz: Let the Dead Horse be!
 

Developers gnaw on GBC.
Remark "Delicious!". Okay, here's a bit we missed. Konami off-shot "Treasure" wants to work on Game Boy Advanced games. Treasure makes games that are awesome. Yes, they do. Some of the people in Treasure were responsible for early games like Castlevania, and Contra. I'm just hoping for a Mischief Makers game for the Game Boy Advanced. This also brings me to say something about the Wonder Swan. (Which is headed for the states around the Game Boy Advanced launch.) Final Fantasy and Digimon are nothing compared to a system that has Enix, Rare, Nintendo, Konami, Capcom, Sonic Team, Treasure, and more working on games for it. In Europe, a company named "Rage" announced Game Boy Color projects. They made some Dreamcast games called "Incoming" and "Expendable". Hopefully, that's not a commentary on the company. Anyways, they are making three titles. The first is called "Music" and in the game you are sent to assassinate Madonna for making the album by that name. Oh, wait. Sorry, that's not right. The game is about composing music and playing music related video games. It's "Nanoloop" for the masses, if you will. You know I want it. I think you should want it too. I mean.. you make music with it! YAY! Oh, yeah.. Pocket Studios (Alone in the Dark for GBC!) is developing "Lego Racers 2" for the Game Boy Advanced. Good. -PAW-

Jazz: Me invent wheel. Me make fire. Me make role playing game.
Philip: I have your stick now.. don't make me use it..

It's December 20th... and 
Where is DMG ICE?!
Squishy woke up this morning to a start! He couldn't find Philip anywhere! Then he couldn't find Adrock, Akemi, Infiinity Yak, Ice Blue or Jazz! Squishy was getting worried! Squishy nknew that Philip had all the Christmas decorations for the site, and a lot of new reviews! But, Sqiushy could not find them! But Squishy did find Philip's Laptop! So, Squishy set aboout as fast as his tentacles take him to search for clues to Philip's Whereabouts! Viral Speak was being left undone! Reviews weren't there! Squishy found a brand new chapter in an old favorite Pallet Gym Memorial Fan Fiction! Oh.. what could cause Philip to be missing! Where was Philip? Squishy wanted to know.. Squishy updated Snowflake Studios, and checked that server for clues... all he found was a brand new AT Freak Show! Actually, enough to last for days. And new comics.. but something was wrong. Where was everyone? Why was Squishy the only "staff member" around? The mystery got even deeper when Squishy found a mysterious note saying only a single word! The word... Them. Visions of giant ants trampled upon thoughts of sugarplums in Squishies brain! Who is Them? Why is Them? What is Them? Would he find out? We don't know.. click on Squishy to see what he found at Snowflake Studios... and return tommorrow to find more out!
