Love & Bullets.
Well, I've worked almost 35 hours in three days. Yay me.
So, I check my e-mail, weed through 500+ spam and recieve an e-mail
from the IGDA. Well, many people may not know this; but I do Game
Scenario and Game Control Layout Design as well as storyboards, and
other such stuff. I also try to lend a helping hand to small developers
whenever I can and I have done consulting for a few large companies.
So, I am registered with the International Game Developers Association.
They have an awards show at the annual GDC (Game Developers Conference)
and I recieved a randomly sent final ballot. I would have listed the
rest of the games in the categories I voted on; but I think that if you
read this site than you probably also read Nintendojo and they have a
full list. Here's the ones I voted on. Please feel free to yell at me
for it.
Game of the Year: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Original Game Character of the Year: Jade from Beyond Good & Evil
Excellence in Audio: Koji Igarashi and Ms. Michiru Yamane for Castlevania: Lament of Innocence
Excellence in Game Design: Goro Abe, Hirofumi Matsuoka, Kazuyoshi Ohsawa, and Ko Takeuchi for WarioWare Inc: Mega Microgame$
Excellence in Programming: Dominic Couture, Feng Quan Wang and team for graphics in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Excellence in Visual Arts: Mickael Labat, Raphael Lacoste, Celine
Tellier and team for art direction in Prince of Persia: The Sands of
Time
Excellence in Writing: Takehiro Izushi for writing in Fire Emblem
The name of this article is Love & Bullets. Here is the ammunition!
I burst out in laughter when I saw these news bits. However, I shall
try to be *snicker* Fair and umm.. Balanced.
Nokia has set an "experation date" on the Nokia NGage. The system has
until November 2005 to sell anything remotely resembling decent. Nokia
origanlly thought the NGage would be a success; but has withdrawn that
comment to take a stance of waiting. The November deadline will
determine if it was a success or an OBVIOUS failure.
Sony has delayed the PSP launch in the USA and Europe until 2005 in
hopes of procuring games for it that would appeal to those audiences.
Good Luck, Sony. Bwa ha ha! Oh, Viral Speak soon. Hell, it'll probably
be a joint Viral Speak; because Hbomb's birthday is coming up. He
doesn't know yet, don't spoil his surprise. Comment? -PAW-

Love me, love my Yamauchi.
Hey! It's a brand new Philip Rational in the Library. Here is the link. This Philip Rational is about Iwata and Yamauchi's recent comments. Here's a spoiler: I agree with them. Comment? -PAW-
February 13 - 14th, 2004 <3<3<3
Love is patient.
Hey, this week was toughness for me and this is an update
on FRIDAY THE 13th! (DOOM!!!!!) Oh, send your home address to
philip@dmgice.com if you want to recieve a card of your choice from the
four Valentine's Day cards in your mail - signed with a special
message- from Philip, Squishy, and all those crazy viruses that live in
his closet. Completely free. Sending the address allows Philip to send
you special DMG Ice Christmas Cards and other holiday cards later on.
(Also.. it sets you up for the secret project due later this year.
Trust me, you'll like it.) Oh! Download the four cards and then print
them out as you like. They fold the card in half and then in half again
to create a definate front, inside and back. Once this month goes into
the News Archives.. the cards DISAPPEAR from this site. So, collect
them before they disappear! Comment? -PAW-
DS LOVE!
Well, a lot of companies have announced support for the Nintendo DS
system already. Here's a quick rundown of the definates who have jumped
on board.
Definately DSing
Sega
Konami
Namco
Pokemon Company
Nintendo
Will probably announce DSing soon.
Koei
SquareEnix
THQ (Well, duh.)
EA
Capcom
Bandai
That's your quick update for that. Well, the 16th is the day for the
Nintendo "Product Meeting" in which more details about the DS will
probably arrive to make us feel JOY. Comment? -PAW-

Ever the Lovely Angel of Death.
Sammi (Or Sami, Sammy, Domino) may be our multi-named DMG
Diva; but that doesn't mean we will forget about January's Diva! For
those who missed the news: We want to reinstate that a Metroid Manga is
ON THE WAY from Tokyopop
in August. Most likely, the Manga will be shown at E3. Hopefully, it
will be the New Official Japanese one. For those who are lost now:
There is a brand new Metroid Manga in Japan. It's also available as an
online e-Manga in Flash. Here's some links. Enjoy! Oh, BUY Zero
Mission. It's damn good. Unless you actually believe the negative crap
that passes as "professional" reviews these days at some websites.
Issue One!
Issue Two!
Issue Three is not online. So sad. But, hey. These are awesome.
They are also RAW JAPANESE, so you have been warned. However, you do
not need to know Japanese to understand the storyline. For those scared
of Japanese, I asked a Random Blue Virus to translate a page or two
into English. The translation is read from right to left and I
think it is a little iffy. Warning! It may contain spoilers! You have
been warned.
Samus is hot.
This is a spoiler.

We Love to see you go.
Ah, poor
Lieberman. No one loves him. Only he could have prevented another
Columbine! He decided to drop out of the race to win the chance to lose
to Bush. Will we miss him? Naturally. Does Lieberman have no balls? You
betcha! I guess this is the point where I talk about the Night of the
Living Kerry, or poke fun at Herr Edwards the new Hitler. (Seen his
policies? O_O) But, instead: I SLEEP! Send me comments on Lieberman's
crushing defeat and I will have a commerative Viral Speak on him!
EEYYAAAAUUGH!!!! Comment? -PAW-
Lovin' it.
Welcome to
February! This month marks several big things! The 14th is "Thin The
Population Day" -remember to spay and neuter your roommates- and the
27th is our SIXTH birthday! Just imagine! Only 15 more years and DMG
Ice can legally drink like a fish! YAY! (Not like we're not doing that
now. Bah!) So, here's the deal, YO: Every news headline will have the
word LOVE in it this month, just to make you SICK. We will have
OFFICIAL DMG Ice Valentine's Day cards! We will also be holding a
"contest" that everyone wins. Just send your name and address to
philip@dmgice.com and we will send you a valentine's day card. We're
trying to get some Snowflake Studio Artists to make card designs so we
can send those out as well. So, you want ONE fricking person to send
you a card? Good. We will send you a card. Who loves you! Who's your daddy! Now face down, etc! Our DMG Diva
this month is Sammy. WOO!! Comment? -PAW-
