Konami GB Collection Volume 1 (Import) from Iwan, Wario Land 2 (Color) from Beefy_B, and.. The Bin gets updated with some good stuff. Nice. Good. Read.. now. Reviews. -PAW-

Goodness! More updates?
We will get you the Goldthingies.. but first.. why not enjoy some refreshing "Pokédex"? It updated! And a new review! Wow. Okay, it's a reader review of Chase H.Q. (Black and White). Enjoy! No real staff comments today.. maybe a little later.. as well as some cool stuff.. later! -PAW-

Get yer AC UP.
Time to break out the AC UP. AC UP is a term I give to "ACtive UPdates". In other words, all the way through December 31st, 1999 and to January 1st, 2000. I'll be.. actively updating. In other words, I don't sleep tonight. I stay in #blue and work on the site, only the site. As I update sections.. I update the newsity. Why? To get a lot of stuff I need to get done.. done. See, it's GOOD. AC UP. Love it and worship it. And keep checking back. We will update continually until.. either my computer blows up.. or I get tired and can no longer go on. -PAW-
 

2 NEW reviews!
Well, let's see... WWF Wrestlemania 2000, and.. here's a little story. We had a review of the first Dragon Ball Z game for the Game Boy; but the person who wrote the review informed me that he found out that the cartridge was not an original cartridge. :( But, here's the good news.. we now have a review of a legit copy of "Dragon Ball Z" Okay, it's the second game; but it's a tad less impossible to find and it's a cool review. Our readers rock into the Year 2000.-PAW-

And with a hang-over too!
After such a huge update on January 1st.. it took me a little while; but I fixed the Update Glitch. ;) We are now Y2K compliant. Anyways, i thought.. since there is not much news. I'll give you a recap of the New Years damage. Just for thought. This January 1st we had... 6 reviews, the Goldthingies, an exclusive New Years Day MST from the Dawn Spawn, 1 new preview, Pokédex, Buy the Best and.. well.. it's good. Very good. And.. I fixed up the News Archives. Okay, they aren't any prettier; but they are good. Very good. Looky them. The green man took a small break. Click on the purty girls. -PAW-
Click on me!
Philip collapses.
I'll take his wallet!

Did you dig the Goldthingies?
Okay. IGN Pocket has something you may like... see it.. vote. Oh, the Release List (The World's Most inaccurately correct!) was updated. -PAW-
"Look! Craig Harris actually DOES something."
Philip: I already submitted a word or two. You must go too. Do it for Mery.

Games on the brain.
And in the Review Vault... we have a fairly light review of Pokémon Gold from a reader named ArTiCuNo; a review of Revelations: The Demon Slayer from a reader named EMFF, and a review of WWF Attitude from a reader named.. Q2K (Q-Bone). On a minor note.. The Bin went un-updated today. But.. iMuse updated with some nice.. "long" songs. Good stuff. -PAW-

Sock Monkey sits there silently thinking Sock Monkey Thoughts.
Philip: And that's the truth.

Just because.
Something updated.. see it and be afraid.. very afraid. -PAW-
"The EVIL.. the horror!"
Bethany: This guy is such a loser!
Philip: Hey..... he may be a "loser"; but he's a DMG Ice Loser; and that makes him cool.

Daily Muk!
I'm working on createing the Ultimate Pokémon card deck from Fossil, Jungle, and Basic. Any deck suggestions would be cool.

Philip: I updated.. late.. and no one else was online. :( My bad.. I'll make some puppets to console me.
Yak2K puppet: Pokémon owns me! I've been in denial forever! Pikachu is my master! All other games aren't half as good as Pokémon!
Ice Blue Puppet: Please don't touch me.
Adrock Puppet: I don't love your sister, Philip... I really love Kazooie! That bird floats my boat!
Philip: Great,, they're defective.. and I can't find my Jazzman puppet anywhere.. oh, wait.. that one ISN'T defective.

Do I Do
Nintendo Watching! Da ba da dee da ba di! Umm... click Crazy Tracey. Yeah. And those album references are back.. this one is for all CCM fans.. and on a minor note.. this artist.. is known for making.. rather.. unique songs in various styles.. and.. I hope and pray he never tries to make a CCM song similar to the musical style of Korn. -PAW-

Announced and stuff.
Umm. I added TWO new reviews, and I'm working hard on my Game and Watch Gallery 3 review. My Game and Watch Gallery 3 review will be big. I hope to break my previous review size record. (Which was Pokémon Red/Blue at about 15 kb!) That's why it takes me a while to finish up reviews.. I try to go.. big. And speaking of BIG. I'm announcing a new series of Editorial content. The first "series" of in-depth, fancy editorials will be on "Game Boy Myths". Mostly things that people say that annoy me. First up.. if you clicked on that Metro 3D interview.. you'll notice that he mentions the myth that Game Boy has an audience that would probably not buy "mature" Game Boy games and that no one expects them to be "mature". Also, I see a lot of little biters calling the Game Boy a "kiddie system". So.. I compiled a list of mature games for Game Boy. So far.. it's pretty easy to find and list "mature" titles that don't stink. I intend to finish it up; make it pretty, and then send that URL out to a lot of Game Boy publishers. Why? Because we want and deserve content that isn't.. "watered-down". I'm very adament on censorship; and I dislike it. I hate the fact that people believe that something must be form fitted for the public. Anyways, we have a review of a French Language Translator, and.. Ballistic!. The two culprits of these reviews... dM97, and.. the mysterious.. Paul. Beware.. ooh! Oh, and no one in the USA, or in Cuba would be up in arms for that kid; if CNN had not broadcasted it all over the air that the kid survived. If they hadn't done that.. the kid would be with his relatives in Florida and his dad would be working the salt mines in Cuba without a second thought. That's my opinion on it.. -PAW-

Infinity_Yak:  Don't dis the Cuban system until you've seen it.  Cuba's probably better off under Castro then they were under Batista.  They merely exchanged one dictator who didn't mind exploiting his people to wealthy American playboys, for one that actually believed in something (however crazy he is).  By no means am I validating Communism, Socialism, Marxism, etc...  I just think it's good to get another opinion into the spotlight.  Besides, if America took over Cuba, their Cigars would start sucking, and cuban girls wouldn't be nearly as cool (YAK PIC!).  And yes, that is me, in Cuba, dancing with a genuine contraband Cuban girl, just last February!  Enough political ranting...  Back to GAMEBOY news ;)  I think the GBC is a system for mature gamers, because I'm a mature gamer, and I've never touched a monster-training game.
Adrock: CNN is evil.
Philip: I probably have cousins in Cuba. I have like.. tons of cousins in Spanish speaking places... she's probably one of my cousins.. who knows..

Good Gnus
Nintendo of Japan has allied with Cygnus Solutions to provide GNU programming tools for Game Boy Advanced. GNU is an "open-sourced" language. Think... not Unix, and not Linux. It's.. GNU. GNU stands for "Gnu's Not Unix". What this means.. is that the Game Boy Advanced can be programmed for in a variety of ways and styles. What can you do with GNU? Everything from "NURBS" to C++ to Perl. Yes.. it's a very.. open programming system. You can use tons of tricks. And it makes me wonder a bit.. did you know that "Quake" was programmed from a GNU language? The catch with all of this is that -if Nintendo of Japan intends to use these like planned- the source code for games done with a GNU base must be made available to people who wish to see it. In other words; if you made a game with GNU.. you need to print the source code you used to make it. Why is this? So that the code and any unique tricks can be shared and implemented. It means, that if you made an awesome 3-D engine on Game Boy Advanced; another company may see the code -if you sell the game- and use the code to create a similar game; or modify it to work better. The free-lance world of Game Boy programmers are going to go nuts with this. The bad thing is that the idea of shared source code.. allows tons of games to be made. Oh, wait... that's not bad. Anyways, I should also mention that GNU is rather.. fast. It can do 3-D easily, and be manipulated to do fancy things really well. In plain, broken English: "GNU good-good. Make plenty good games!" -PAW-
Ice Blue: (in ebonics)Da GNU flippin' dope games, yo!  It be trippin', G!
Ice Blue gets shot.
Philip: He's dead! *Insert gratuitous South Park joke*
Adrock: I wanna... take Quake with me.
 

Enough, already!
Anyways, Burger King once again secured Pokémon rights. The next promotion starts in March. I want a Lugia Beanie... that would rule. Nothing like an evil, dark, flying serpent and the End of the World in a Kid's Meal. Unfortunately... I don't think they will include the Pokéballs of death. *Insert collective whine* Anyways, that's coming soon.. and a new soundtrack/sample/single thingie is due out in February. -PAW-
Ice Blue's ghost: It's true... "Pokémon = Cash Cow"... is that good or bad?
Philip: Naw.. I won't say a thing....

MP3 Boy!
Wanna play MP3 on your Game Boy? Why not? Check this release! We at DMG Ice are devoted to this and are very pleased with the idea of playing MP3 on Game Boy Color. In fact, I can hardly wait. We'll work on creating something for you all to download in the MP3 or MPE format.. sooner or later.. it'll be cool. I already pre-ordered mine. You should too. I mean.. for $99 with a 16 megabyte RAM; plus the ability to buy expansions in 32 Meg.. this thing may be enough to kick the Diamond Rio. -PAW-

Adrock: I have near a gig full of mp3s... so... this should be interesting.
Ice Blue: I think it's dumb how only the first 10,000 get free songs from the site...  I mean, come on, who in their right mind would pay for MPEs (the format they will use)?  You can't even play that on the comp without the right software!  I'd rather rip my own MP3s...
Philip: The free songs are a promotion. But, the MPE format is supported by a lot of the latest devices. The MPE files display graphics as well as sound. As for paying for a specialized MPE? Think of it as getting a song and a music video in one. It has potential and for the sense of fairness; I would pay up to $3 for a song from a up-and-coming artist.

Mafiasized News!
Okay, one of the mafia is changing their domain name.. and they are also offering Pokémon site hosting. Definately check it out by clicking HERE. 'Kay? And speaking of Pokémon.. you can check out these awesome learning materials for kids who just can't get enough of Pokémon by clicking HERE. -PAW-
 

Gotta catch them all!
Okay. You gotta twirl your pole a little like that; then let the hook fly. make sure you have some good bait; or you won't get any bass. Well, in the quest to get some bass; two new reviews have been added! I didn't put up a review yesterday; because.. I was reviewing the same game at the time and felt it would be cool to toss them both into the water at the same time. What am I talking about? The Legend of the River King of course! It's a Game Boy Color game that is worth a look or two. And here are TWO new reviews of the same game! Gotta love that whole second opinion thing. Don't flounder around here; go see the reviews! Get some bass tonight! Everyone needs to get some bass. Or rather... umm.. just go see the reviews. Q-Bone and "The Avardancer" in the reviews. Good. -PAW-

Random Blue Virus: Our reviewsity-o-meter is going up!
Ice Blue: Review city?  Hmm... never been there.
Philip: Maybe if you read this site more... ;)

TRSTS is good for you.
Or something like that. While you probably could care less. Here is the list of the Best-Selling Portable games from December 26th to January 1st. It's... well.. *bad word in the past positive sense* up. -PAW-

Ice Blue: Silly mice... they take up #1 and #10...  (and that happens to be today's date!)
Paranoid Guy: It's a conspiracy, man!
 

This is The BIN. Love the BIN.
The BIN.. I don't talk about it much.. but I should. Today.. I have a lot of new reviews and most of them are for The Bin. For the normal Reviews.. I have a review of the Mega Memory Card and a light review of.. "Boomer's Adventures in Asmik World" for Game Boy! But, The Bin.. which is for reviews of other handheld systems got a big update! Let's see... Wario Land VB review from Adrock. .and I sat down to review the Game.Com, Sonic Jam for the Game.Com, and the "controversial" Neo Geo Pocket Color... it should be interesting.. and.. I updated the iMuse. -PAW-

Adrock: Philip wants to put me in the Bin.
Philip: Not yet.. I haven't grafted an LCD screen into him yet... bwa ha ha!
Ice Blue: If you make the screen big and put it on his stomach, he could be the 5th Teletubbie!
 

Daily Muk!
A little word on the action figure Togepi. The talking one is funny as all get out. Get this one and the Meowth one.. then set them together, and clap your hand. When they both respond.. the Meowth has a long enough phrase to make the Togepi keep responding.. it's a little spooky..
