Drool.. Yummy.
Or not... okay.. it has Cubans, Pokémon, gratuitous cleavage, and ummm.. a brand new special edition DMG ICE Pokémon Card! You know you want to see it! It's in.. the Snowflake! Oh, yeah. It's.. Josh's Nickerson's "Fresh from the Ice Box" Summer Special. Where.. apparently, some of the dmgice staff and some other people go to a sunny beach place. Kinda like that Saved by the Bell Special.. except with more violence. -PAW-

Adrock: It's so violent, you're going to need some pepper spray!
Akemi: I can't wait to see it.. I love Josh's work! *applauds*
Jazz: SUMMER SPECIAL! (This film is not yet rated)
Philip: Took forever to do too.. if I used CGI.. it would take minutes.. but it took.. a looong time to do this the good old html way. But.. I like it the good old html way.
 

Just because it should be done..
Umm.. go to here. And umm.. vote! Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. C'Mon.. we wanna beat ign.com at another award. *snickers* Do it for Foy! -PAW-

Well, I got bogged down by the fun little Ice Box Summer Special.. so I'll have some nifty reviews for you tommorrow. And those reviews rock heavy. Trust me. Oh, Viral Speak is streaking again.. -PAW-

Adrock: ...Foy!
Akemi: Viral Speak is in desperate need of a tan and a workout if it's gonna be running around naked.
Philip: Don't look!

That's the amount of real interesting articles we have for you. Look. Oddish. Update. Wow. -PAW-

Akemi: And I thought Fridays were supposed to be the slow days..
Philip: It's actually Metal Gear Solid 2 information.. and it's awesome beyond belief.. go see it..
 

The Chosen One
Or rather two reviews... would have been third.. blame Perfect Dark.. darn Challenge 16. But I beat him... and I designed my own little fun scenario.. involving 8 meat peacesims, unlimited kills, small time limit, and Reapers. Much more fun in Grinder mode. Watch 'em run! Oh, click here. -PAW-

Philip: It was inspired by the lawnmower scene in Dead Alive..
 

The Extra Mile
Walk it with Viral Speak... Viral Speak remembers Teal.. -PAW-

Akemi: For the hell of it.. *runs around in a little skimpy bikini* It's summer, so sue me.
Philip: Don't worry.. I won't sue..
Jazz: Actually, we're prejudice against teal Gameboys.
Philip: Only you... I believe in Teal Equality! Teal has been oppressed for too long!

Quote of the Update: "Good thing he heals fast..."

Ladies and Gentlemen,
We are now seeing the beginnings of another stage of Recap Evolution. *A Blue Virus Interrupts* A dangerous evolution, I hold in my hand, a list of these self-proclaimed Recaps.

1. We have a Recap that states that the Hardware section can now walk through walls, what's to stop it from walking through Fort Knox or our most secret military facilities?

Infinity_Yak: Nothing really.  I made it that way.  YOU CALLED DOWN THE THUNDER, WELL NOW YOU'VE GOT IT!

2. There are reports of a young Snowflake from New Jersey that can walk on water...

Infinity_Yak: I'm glad the new usual suspects is only LOOSELY based on my actual persona ;)
Philip: That's not the newest one.. ;)

3. And last, and most dangerous, there are Viral Speaks that can read our minds and control our thoughts.. they are capable of taking away our God-Given Free Will!

Infinity_Yak: No!!!!  Freewill was the best song Rush released during the 80's!  You can't take it now!!

We need to know what these Recaps are.. and what they can do! We need to know for sure what must be done to prevent the terrible menace.. Oh, go watch X-Men.. and.. *gasp* in the train.. there's a boy playing Game Boy! Except.. it's a clear white one.. -PAW-

Infinity_Yak:  Those cursed mutants and their import GB's! *Coff* hardware updated *coff*... scuse me... I should get that checked.
Philip: Yeah... you should..

You know you want it.
Oh, yeah. You want it. It's a Snowflake update! New DMG Diva.. -PAW-

Adrock: Valkerye Wylde, doesn't have a game yet. Until then... we give you DMG Diva.
Akemi: Valkyrie Wilde is the product of a hormone-loaded single lonely male animator's mind.
Philip: Old joke... old!
 

No real excuse...
Umm.. here's Viral Speak.. today is ungodly slow.. oh, Kirby's next game is clear pink in Japan. Yeah. -PAW-

Adrock: It takes one tough jack for a pink game pak.

Smoke
Hey, Nintendo shuffled release dates. I didn't feel like putting all the release dates down.. so here's the IMPORTANT ones. Warlocked comes out this Friday and seriously owns. Pokémon 2 comes out in October. That game and Majora's Mask are the two big deals that month. Oh, yes. Don't save up for a PS2.. not when you need Gold, Silver, and another *hopefully* Gold game. Donkey Kong Country is taking longer than expected and comes out in November. Kirby rolls in this December on his special tilt sensitive game pak. Oh, that tilting stuff will be used in future Game Boy Advanced games as well.. and this leads me to believe that we might see an.. unusual Tetris game at launch. Um, read the next article. Oh, Perfect Dreck GBC comes out next month. But who cares? Not with Dragon Warrior 1 & 2 in August! -PAW-

Adrock: Also this fall look for Radiohead's Kid A! That's not a Game Boy game though.
Infinity_Yak:Although it would be pretty awsome... anything radiohead rules!
Akemi starts saving her money for games.
Philip starts saving his money for Akemi.

Let me announce the rumor of "Active Tetris". Let's see.. here's how this game -which may or may not actually exist!- would work. The Game Boy Advanced is horizontal. This new Tetris has a special Tilt feature. Tilt the Game Boy down to drop the piece, tilt the Game Boy right or left to move the piece right or left. The game judges your angle, more extreme angles move the piece faster.. Hit the top L or R button to lock the piece into place. If you hold one one of the lock buttons and tilt forward, the piece rotates. Hold R for Clockwise, L for counter-clockwise. To keep the tilt active, you need to hold down the A button with your Thumb. You can play without it though. Hmm.. well.. if it exists.. and I hope it does.. we'll see at Space World. -PAW-

Adrock: If they are smart they will put tilt as well as rumble inside the system, since most third party developers won't risk using new technology. That might make the system too expensive though?
Infinity_Yak: At least that's what Nintendo would use as an excuse.
Akemi: That'd be confusing to master.
Philip: The beauty of Active Tetris is that it looks complex on paper; but.. in reality.. it would be more intuitive then you would expect..

Battle of who could care less
July 2nd to July 8th, these ten games sold the most units. Cue the music! *70's pr0n music starts* No! Not that.. the heroic fanfare music! *polka riff starts* Oh.. never mind. Click here. -PAW-

Adrock: Rock and Roll Rapidash!
Philip gives Adrock his Ridalin.
Infinity_Yak: Would the real Adrock please stand up?
Akemi: I don't believe that Mary Kate and Ashley game even sold one cartridge...
Philip: Umm.. okay! Look! Snowflake update! And.. Viral Speak!

Quote of the Update: "Pets.com isn't a dating service..."

Slow Motion on a Wednesday.
Just a new review and.. Viral Speak. Man.. it's sloooow. Oh, okay.. here's something to make sure your visit isn't totally boring. I'll tell you why I can't wait for Friday. It's all about WARLOCKED, baby. The "first" Real Time Strategy game for the Game Boy Color. Oh, yes. It's great. I played it at E3 and can hardly wait to play it. I *will* eventually redo that release list; but for now.. I'm so happy for the upcoming Epic goodness. I mean, less than 13 days until Dragon Warrior 1 & 2 appear, and less than two days before Warlocked is in my hands. Oh, what a happy day that will be. Think about it for a moment. The Game Boy Color has a lot of PC style games and I like that. Some of the games are that classic PC complexity and/or niche feeling that makes me like them. For example, I got Prince of Persia recently for my Game Boy Color, as well as Deja Vu 1 & 2. Both games are sweet. Prince of Persia is challenging. I like that. Deja Vu has tons of text and a great appreciation for details. If someone would just release King's Quest, and a Monkey Island game. I will be able give up sleep all together. Ever notice how a lot of Game Boy games are ports.. I mean, it's either a PC port, NES port, there are a few SNES ports, some arcade ports, and a lot of Game Boy ports.. the thing ports itsself sometimes. Nifty and weird.. Well, peace! -PAW-

Adrock: Ports are good. Mary Kate and Ashley isn't a port.
Philip: Metal Gear: Ghost Babel "MGS" isn't one either.

Do you have a Pillow Pal Dragonite yet? The thing is about three feet tall and drop-dead cute. There's also a Charizard one; but it's really, really ugly. I've only seen them at Wal-Mart though.
