Quote of the Update: "Update delayed on account of Albatross.."

Don't mess with my love.
If you are one of the several people on the internet; even some people here in our staff, who make Game Boy games or emulators, check out the link below. While it isn't accurate in several areas. It's an interesting, if not frustrating link. Companies like Digital Eclipse, and some members of the Nintendo Software Technology Corporation, cut their teeth on creating emulators, and/or freeware ROMS. It's a shame that Nintendo of America would try to include the good programmers with those people who download games, and sell them. Those are the real enemy. Okay? -PAW-
"It's like 1982.. really! Kill the Thought Criminals!"

Jazzman: Reminds me of that letter of mine in the last snowflake update.
Ice Blue: Hardy Har Har... shiver me timbers...
Philip: We be pirates.. of Dark Waters! Oh, never mind..

Do you know what I want?
Just 20 more days, until The Card Hero is released in Japan. Cross your fingers and hope that the game makes it to the USA! Or go read the old preview of it we have.
Ice Blue: A hero that is also a card?  Interesting...
Philip: And you can fight on the Dot Matrix in Stereo Sound! Personally.. I'm excited about this game.. and I think everyone should be. I smell another money maker of Pokémon proportions!

Don't say you love me.
Looky! Another one of those Ice Box comics! Now with Bridget! I, however, have no comment on it. ;) -PAW-
I am Josh Nickersons GHOST!!
Jazzman: flush....
Ice Blue: If I'm in the comic, they'd probably put me as some bad villian type person...
Philip: At least you aren't stuck in a scene from Clerks... I think.

Mirror, Mirror
Do you know what Cosplay is? You know.. people dress up like something from a game, etc? Well, It's some Mafia News here! Go to the link.. and get the information! I'm a judge in it. So.. send your risque pictures of yourself dressed as Princess Peach,'kay? Oh, album references tonight.. an upcoming album.. it comes out in March.. it's pretty cool. -PAW-
"You go.. girl."

Jazzman dresses up like Misty.
Ice Blue shudders at the sight of Jazzwoman.
Philip looks away and hopes someone dresses up as Plymouth the Ice Beetle.

Quote of the Update: "I hope they do something like that for Pokémon Silver and Gold."

Oh, yeah.. silver..
Click on the link below.. and tommorrow.. in Europe, to celebrate the new "Platinum Priced" Edios games... Eidos is soaking Lara Weller (The Official Lara Croft model) in Platinum paint.. umm.. body paint basically, and you can watch. Umm... nifty. A bit.. risque; but nifty. We "care" about this; because of two things. One, Lara Croft will be in a Game Boy game. And two, it involves a model and body paint.. need I say more? -PAW-
"Silver paint.. oh.. if it was just creamy nougat....."

Adrock: Eidos... Giving platinum a new meaning...
Infinity_Yak: I thought silicon parts were for 1)Computers and 2) Toys.
Ice Blue: Yeah... I like to call them "toys" too...
Philip: I like toys. Toys are fun to play with.
Jazzman: I'll never look at Toys-R-us the same way again...
A Blue Virus: "A million toys at Toys R' Us that I can play with!"

Just because.. it needs to be said.
Game Boy Color sales are up by over 220% from 1998. 226% to be exact. Yippee. -PAW-
Infinity_Yak:  Hail to the king, baby!
Ice Blue: Pokémon sales have gone up 226% from 1998...

Who loves ya?
Our readers love ya! Let's see.. reviews of Yoshi, Yoshi's Cookie, Final Fantasy Legend 3, some Import/USA Pokémon Soundtrack albums, Bass Masters Classic, and Wario Land 2. Five of these are from Farfetch'D, one from Mew Barrymore, and one from Dominus. Oh, yeah. -PAW-
Wiggle me!
Adrock: Those little candy hearts... with the mushy sayings on them... I don't like those. They taste like flavored styrofoam.
Infinity_Yak:  Yeah, I know what you mean...  If they really loved me, they'd give me hugs and kisses (if female) instead of stupid candy hearts that taste nasty...
Ice Blue: We don't it for the love, we do for the Hugs and Kisses... (the chocolate kind)
Jazzman gives Philip a little candy heart with a mushy saying.
Philip eats the heart, slumps over nearly dead.

Short news night!
Oh, yeah.. quick news. Don't have a heart attack.. but Nintendo of America changed their splash page picture. So did we. ;) And they added a preview of Crystalis.. or rather updated theirs. Crystalis is the next big game I'm looking forward to. After playing so much Bionic Commando.. I'm excited.. are you? In what seems like a slap to SNK; Nintendo Software Technology Corporation had to redo the translation on the game to give it more closure and depth. HA HA HA HA -PAW-
"Sega's website."
"Rabbit Boots is sexy."

Adrock imagines SNK trying to translate Japanese puns and jokes... "hmm..."
Philip: A winner is me, lose you!
Infinity_Yak:  Fighting Spirit, avenge loss required by the aevil spilits to attain inner victoly.
Ice Blue: I didn't know Japanese people spoke English with a Chinese accent...
Philip sighs.

Don't mention it..
Oh, if you have been clicking around.. you'll have discovered.. our evil.. random link and maybe you've seen the Secret Top Graphics Lair! If you haven't; don't click the gratuitous Matrix parody. And if you haven't; certainly don't check out the neat ones we have that can be requested. Everything from Cameron Diaz to Lara Croft to Hello Kitty is in there on top graphics. Don't click around. -PAW-
Adrock: Eventually when you click enough things you actually find CONTENT!
Philip: Content? Where?
Infinity_Yak: *SNKglish*  Content!  Site is where?  A winner is me!
Ice Blue: I didn't click around... but I still found content... o_O
Someone from another site: I wish I had content. I'm insulted.
Jazzman (In 50 years): Back in my day... our websights had serious content.
Philip: In 50 years.. you'll still be working here...

Quote of the Update: "Okay.. now I feel sorry for the mutant squirrel.."

This way to love.
Just because we think you deserve it.. we tapped into the Avars terminals, in Bionic Commando: Elite Forces to steal away a secret recording straight from the game! What did we find? Well, something pretty interesting... and it's straight from the game. Aren't we the best? He he he click below to see the message we intercepted! Oh, on other spy stuff.. Perfect Dark no longer supports the GB Camera. *insert bad word*-PAW-
"The single most important thing EVER."
Jazzman: Definitely the most valuable information in the game. 007 would be jealous.
Philip: I intend to use this information for good!

Are you hurting?
Howard Lincoln has left the building! Umm.. he's not with Nintendo of America anymore; he was the Chairman of the company. He will now manage the Seattle Mariners. Lincoln started out as a lawyer, then became Nintendo of America's Chairman, and now.. he manages a Baseball team. Here's to a nice career for the Eagle Scout; and may he stay out of theatres. -PAW-

Jazzman: You know how it is, managing baseball teams and all.
Adrock: Hmm... who will take his spot? (Adrock nudges Philip)
Ice Blue: He was a chair, man!  I think managing a Baseball team is more interesting than being a chair...

Compu-Friend
While.. Ice Blue was working on something with the UBB.. it blowed up real good. Ouch. He's still alive, and recovering pretty well.. Anyways, DaMaGeD Ice is still up and so is #blue. Okay? -PAW-

Adrock: Stuff is always breaking around here! (Adrock steps on Philip's Glasses) whoops...
Ice Blue: I didn't do it...
Philip: It's a MIRACLE! I can see!

Trailer Park Love Song
Oh, I added a preview of Donkey Kong GBC. Yippee. -PAW-
 

Dubparty
Buy the Best updated! Rejoice! -PAW-

Peasants: ....yay...
Philip: Good. back to work with you.
Adrock: And on the 193rd day, Philip made content. And it was good.
Random Blue Virus: Don't buy the best... buy what we tell you to buy!
Ice Blue: Buy me some ruby slippers.

Quote of the Update: "T"

Did you care?
Well, French fans rejoice! Nintendo and Sony will soon work out "French" language versions of popular games like "Pokémon". While this is a good thing; they have no "deadline" to do it by. So, Nintendo and Sony will announce French products and then delay them many times. Oh, well. Personally, I am insulted by the lack of titles in Latin. After all, Latin is a language and a lot of great books were in it to begin with. I think we should start some type of petition or threaten to sue; because there are no games in Latin. Or, Esperanto for that matter. Heck! More people speak KLINGON than Navaho and Esperanto.. I want a KLINGON translation of popular games! Yeah! That's it. -PAW-

Adrock: Yeah... They don't put out enough games in Sign Language. It just makes me SICK. Because so many... Wait just a minute...
Ice Blue: We need more Braille video games and voice actors for the games for deaf people...
Jazzman: Karoke games! "Swing your arms from side to side. C'mon it's time to go do the Mario!"
Philip: Actually.. I'm hooked on the brothers.
 

We're under ATTACK!
Okay.. the reader reviewer "Rapidfire" reviewed Pokémon Blue.. why should you care? The review is pretty funny. Umm.. just read it. It's nifty. The iMuse updated.. bwa ha ha!-PAW-
Adrock: MIDI's make reading easier and brainwash you temporarily. Try it!
Ice Blue: Loud music tends to let you think and read easier... dead silence breaks your concentration.

La di da ba dee whatever.
Dino Crisis is coming to Game Boy Color; and to be honest.. I'm not thrilled. Why? Well, unlike Resident Evil.. it's not a "psuedo 3D" game. Oh, well.. I hope they can pull it off. We didn't report on it earlier; because.. well.. it didn't seem like news; but everyone else is covering it.. so we might as well.. and about those Austin Powers games? Check our archives for LAST year. -PAW-
Adrock: Sock Monkey is the Europop Messiah.
Ice Blue: Dino Crisis?  That's what happened to me when I was flipping through the channels and got stuck on Barney.
Jazzman: Back Street Boys... 98 deg... Sock Monkey...
Sock Monkey sits there silently thinking Sock Monkey thoughts.

Not that you actually care...
This update was late; because I tripped over Slib on the way out.. expect that creature to get a rather brutal beating. 'Kay? -PAW-
Adrock: Oh, sorry I was late for class, Ms. Paige, I tripped over Slib. My bad. ?
Ice Blue: You are right... we don't care.
Coach Jazzman: Tape it up, walk it off.

Quote of the Update: "Always make the audience suffer as much as possible." - Alfred Hitchcock

Tell him I want my Pokémon Zippo lighter.
Masakazu Kubo, no it isn't a new dance, it's a person. He's a person, an important person, and he will be joined by Tsunekazu Ishihara, Takahashi Kawagushi and "Bob". Okay, not Bob. Anyways, these people are important. Why? They are: "The Executive Producer of Shogakukan Inc., the President of Creatures Inc., and the general manager of Advertising for Nintendo. At 2:30PM (Eastern Time) tommorrow, they will be at ABCNEWS.com in LIVE chat. Not LOVE, LIVE. See them, adore them.. mention FOY! Go on, do it. Foy Power! -PAW-

Insert the Drill..
See the NPD TRSTS Statas.. okay? You know.. I know.. and it's monotonous; but it's "news". -PAW-
Take a hold of ME!
Adrock: Give your sweetheart Pokémon this year.
Misty: Of course.. I'll take your Pokémon!
Philip: Here, please take hold of my Onix.

We're bored...
So.. it's time to attack again! Our pleas will not fall on deaf ears! FOY!!! Yes, the pokémon you see below is a "Foy". Not a "rediba".. that name sucks. It shall be FOY! And it's evolved form shall be FOYUSA!! Why? Because, it just should be. It LOOKS like a "FOY". Here's the drill below.

Always awesome. Awesome Foy. Awesome Foy. I love Foy. Foy is better than Pikachu. All hail Foy! C'Mon.. FOY! -PAW-
Adrock: Foy whom the bell tolls.
Philip: It tolls foy thee.

She's a Diva.

Quote of the Update: "Cutting Edge Concepts and Blunt Humour. Gotta love it."

Trailblazer
Okay.. Nintendo Software Technology Corporation... here's a low-down of games being "considered" by the company for work. Well, we sure as Hell is hot want these games. The games I'm talking about are: "Rush N' Attack", and "Star Tropics". Whether this is Star Tropics 1 or 2 is unknown. I just want to hear them choose to bring me back to Cirocola. Although... Rush N' Attack was "Metal Slug"; before Metal Slug was Metal Slug.. and we could use a good "Contra" style Game Boy Color shooter. -SEPHIROTH-
Adrock: Any game with a yo-yo has to be good.
Philip: I wonder if we will ever see a game devoted to just that.. oh, wait.
 

Oh Yeah
Josh Nickerson strikes again! Look at his new comic strip.. or be forever hurt by not knowing what is in it! -PAW-
I am not in this.. but I sing!
Adrock: That Angela Lansbury... what a dish!
Philip whistles a Beastie Boys song.

Tooth & Claw
To be honest, updating the Release Dates is not something I like to do. It's a pain in the butt and people whine about delays. So, I started thinking of a new way to do them. Check out what I came up with.. it's bold; but if it is ALL you follow.. you won't be disappointed by delays, or cancelations ever again. It's a shock; but it is a needed change that other sites should adopt as well. It makes sense if you think about it. -PAW-
Oh, baby! CLICK ME!
Adrock: Release dates are like... Derek Thomas dying... you need to know them, but they make you sad.
Philip: I can fix the release dates; but not that. I'll miss him.

Do It Now!

Quote of the Update: "I'm not supposed to be awake and I can't flirt!." - Adrock's N/A message on ICQ.. ha ha ha.

Another note!
Well, Communitech.net... we love them; but they are slow. I'm not sitting around doing nothing though. Because of the nature of their upgrades, I can not do a full update. It would disappear. In fact, these "warnings" will disappear after the upgrade is complete. It won't really affect anything on the outside though. But to make sure you don't get all bored.. here's a small article. I'm busy on some new reviews, and a Valentine's Day Oddish. The matinence/upgrade should be done by Saturday, so I will update on Saturday and Sunday to compensate. We have some awesome Mafia news, a little Pokédex, and *hopefully* I'll have some of my looooong reviews for you. Is the red text bugging you? Sorry. Here we go. That's better. Anyways, here i a little something for you.
A few GBA rumours abound. And. we analyze them.

1. "The GBA will be delayed!" Okay, this is from EUROPE. Of course they won't see it there this year. Heck, Nintendo of Europe is so relaxed on these; that it's money in the bag to say that Europe will get "delayed". Japan and the USA will see it this year though. We will see it here in November.

2. "Yoshi's Island GBA" Nintendorks.com had a rumour that the demo was running Yoshi's Island. Now.. Yoshi's Island is a FX2 game. So, if the GBA can correctly emulate that; then we can see 3-D games on the GBA. Because, the FX2 was a little power horse. This means that those "Star Fox" rumours aren't too bad. Let's see.. the FX2 could do a port of the old PC game: "Commanche". That's how frigging powerful it is. I think I will use the GBA to work my Moon Laser.. and take over the WORLD!

I'm thinking of those rumours. And I'll do an "update" to the Game Boy Advanced concept deal. I think it wasn't too far off, now was it? And to those people -you know who you are- who said the "concepts" were "stretching it".. ha ha ha. They got theirs. And once the server is completed.. I'll launch a new special to make those "Game Boy is childish" people eat their words. -PAW-

NOTE!
Our Service Provider is doing an upgrade to our servers.. so.. no update tonight! Sorry. But.. this all means I can do more with the site. bwa ha ha and stuff. -PAW-

Well, DUH!
Acclaim will be releasing a "Turok 3: Shadows of Oblivion" Game Boy Color title this Fall. You know, around October. That is all. You can get back to your lives now. Oh, I'm still working on some new reviews. 'Kay? -PAW-

Infinity_Yak:  You mean, you'll let me get back to "Real Life?" (tm) that easy this time?
Ice Blue: Woo HOO! (not for the game, though)
Philip: Actually.. you need to pet the Red Virus first...

Well, I needed to anyways.
We mentioned those "press snippets" at Nintendo before; I took the time to copy them down on a normal article thing here for safe-keeping. Okay? Nothing big. And we comment on them. ha ha ha. Click on the "Cukepersons in LOVE"! Happy Stupid Valentines Day. -PAW-
Stop... watching us!
Infinity_Yak:  Snippets is all we get- the real stories are all covered up in conspiracy... or something.
Paranoid Guy: It's a conspiracy, man!
Ice Blue: Who let him in here again?
Philip: I dunno. HEY! Go back to Daily Radar, you paranoid freak! Oh, the Gallery updated too.

Oh, yeah. Card Hero.
Well.. 10 more days and it gets released in Japan..... Card Hero is coming to there soon. I for one.. can't wait to see information on it in the USA. I think the game is going to kick some major goodness. And I can't wait to see more of it. -PAW-

Ice Blue: Yeah, just like what you said about that Pocket Monster thingy a year back... ummm wait... NM.
Philip: Yeah. Did that ever become popular? Actually, I said it was "neat" around.. March 1998. Although.. thanks to to Fourtune City and Tripod, and Geocities.. and "DMG Dojo".. a large chunk of our news was wiped out. **** *******.

Shack Yak!
Yak's Shack of Shiny Objects updated. You know.. "HARDWHERE". Okay. Resume your life now. And just for the sake of gratuitous words that rhyme. Smack Yak's Shack and we blackjack your rack with flack, Mac. (I'll backtrack... that's whack.) -PAW-
Shack me.
Infinity_Yak: Yak's Shack is the dope smack!
Ice Blue: Quack!
Philip: Oh.. yeah.

Do It Now!
So.. it's time to attack again! Our pleas will not fall on deaf ears! FOY!!! Yes, the pokémon you see below is a "Foy". Not a "rediba".. that name sucks. It shall be FOY!
