Ultra Recap Kamikaze Burst!
YATTA! Or something. Here's your recap!

1. A big word up goes to all those people who wrote into IGN's Pokémon of the Day Poetry thing. Read and see if you recognize anyone.. FINALLY! Something good on IGN Pocket this week. 'Bout time. *snickers* 

Akemi: Oooh I saw him!  He did a good job!
Adrock: Foy!
 

2. The Pokémon Movie 2000 is cool. Craig is wrong. More puns in this one. And our quote of the update is in it. I got a nice Mew card and I just realized that for most of the movie, Ash is looking for his balls. Oh, well. Lugia is awesome. Oh, the opening Pikachu Movie thingie is cool and there was only one instance where the soundtrack seemed off. Sign me up for the Score. Oh, Melody reminds me of Marin.. I hope Ash guarded his wallet. And yes, there are a few instances where characters seem to suddenly know each others names. But who cares?

Akemi: I heard there was Kireihana.... er... Bellossom in it... That's my favorite Pokémon... kawaii yo!
Adrock: Pikachu will always reign supreme as the cutest Pokémon.
Philip: But, ONLY because I'm not a Pokémon.
 

3. I think you should buy Survival Kids. Do it. Do it NOW! Did you like Survivor? Want to play something that's better? I found you a good price for it..

Akemi: I'll get Survival Kids when my Gameboy decides to work again.  It's on strike or something.
Adrock: Shows like that are boring. Like Survivor. The welfare, junkie, unemployed slackers with no life seem to enjoy it though.
Philip: It reminds me of Real World; which is also kinda.. dumb. To be honest though.. the thing is popular.. so.. maybe I can get these people to buy one of the BEST Game Boy Color games.. EVER... if I mention that the show has a similar theme to Survival Kids.
 

4. Warlocked hit stores and it has more in it than Warcraft did. Go buy it you RTS loving people!

Adrock: This 30 bucks has Warlocked written all over it!
 

5. Viral Speak can not be broken; but it can be fixed. That way it won't breed....

Akemi: Get it fixed NOW... one Viral Speak is enough.
Adrock: Keep the virii population down. Have your virus spayed or neutered.

There's your recap. -PAW-

*pulls a Philip* Enjoy your weekend!-AKEMI-
Adrock: Isn't she cute when she uses exclamation marks?
Philip: Yeah. Cute.
 

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-

Adrock: Give this a 3.0! Hah!
Akemi: You know we kick major butt... So help us prove it!
Philip: We got the About.com award... let's go for this one.. bwa ha ha!

Muk it up!
Did you know that the third movie is already under-going localization? Wouldn't it be funny if it hit Theatres this Fall.. just in time for the Digimon movie?

-July 24th, 2000-
Quote of the Update: "Ooo.. that's good."

Sensory Overload.
Yummy this! Readers Superguy3000, Pikamom, Farfetch'D and PTT hit us with SEVEN new reviews. Yeah! Lots to read. Lots of good stuff. -PAW-

Akemi: You guys have pleased the almighty Gameboy God Philip with your offering... Good job! ^_^
Philip grins.
 

We may have to Banner.
You've seen our AD banners right? The "Got Game Boy" and the "Only site with Germs" one, right? Well, we're thinking of replacing our current two banners... click here and see what we've got.. WARNING though, if you're someone from Daily Radar, Stomped, Charisma Carpenter Online, Tendo Project, DVD Shrine, etc.. you may be scared. Or you may die laughing.. or not.. BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Clicky it! Clicky it! -PAW-

Akemi: I have to agree with Pixie on what happens when she reads DMGIce.. It happens to me too.
Philip: It's the moving graphics.. I'm sure of it!
 

Excuses...
Well, we gots LOTS of content today! So.. umm.. I moved some stuff I was going to use for today.. to tommorrow. ^_^ Revel in some Viral Speak! -PAW-

Akemi: Ah, I needed a dose of that Viral Speak.. mmm...
Philip: It's yummy!

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-

Adrock: Give this a 3.0! Hah!
Akemi: You know we kick major butt... So help us prove it!
Philip: We got the About.com award... let's go for this one.. bwa ha ha!

Muk it up!
Oh, be sure to check out the nifty Pokémon reviews we got today!

On the Roof Again
New reviews! The Bin got an update too! Pikamom, Superguy3000, and Primeval. Adrock gets his Game -Gear- on in the Bin! Oh, yeah! -PAW-

Adrock: Is that a Game Gear in your pocket or...
Philip: Actually it's a Lynx. True Babe Magnet. ^_^ Oh, a cookie for anyone who gets the Album References... the site is overflowing with 'em tonight.. from here to Viral Speak.. well.. it's good to be bad if it's better than bored.

Enemy
Hey.. people! Here's the deal so far on those banners! Here's the Top Five so far..

1. Ad Seven
2. Ad Twelve
3. Ad Four
4. Ad Five
5. Ad Thirteen

Keep voting! Oh, boy... a lot of PS2 fans -the people that DIDN'T see the dismal thing at E3- are going to be mad. Nifty! Oh, if it isn't PS2.. it's Pikachu.. oh, my... run Pikachu run! Look out for tommorrow! When we go into Round 2 of the Voting and remove the least popular ones and.. add one or two more.. Click here and kick it back! -PAW-

Adrock: PS had N64 whooped because of the CD format pretty much. Now that Nintendo games are on DVD's, Square will come running back to Nintendo. That is my prediction.
Philip:  Play Station has Square. Plain and simple. Square is as stubborn as Nintendo is.. oh, well.. Square is going to keep the PS2 alive; because MGS2 isn't PS2 exclusive. Oh, I overheard at E3 that even Square is having trouble codeing for the PS2. If Konami, Capcom, and Square are having troubles.. umm.. ouch. Oh, for Techni, the PS2's main chip could "theorotically" out perform a super computer.. if it were attached to different hardware, like something other than the PS2. Just like in theory, it would do jack squat attached to a toaster. Got it? The PS2 as hardware has a smaller ram cache than the Dreamcast and is tougher to program for than the N64. The first waves of games look light years behind N64/Dreamcast/Current Play Station ONE games. With full effects and actual programmer math, the PS2 gets buried by the Star Cube's early stats. And if this rant is getting too long for you.. let me narrow it down for you. Forget the PS2. It is nothing good this year. If you really want one, get it next year. Use that money and import a Game Boy Advanced. (Which has a better sound chip than the PS2.)
 

Here's to the Night
Yikes! Akemi won't be back in until Friday, Ice Blue ran away, Jazzman won't be back until the 1st of August, and Infinity Yak isn't on.. so.. no Buy the Best update... until next month. But! Viral Speak! Yeah! -PAW-

Adrock: I'm still here!
Foy: Go home.
Adrock: Darn...
Philip: It's just Adrock, and my... buddies! Oh, wait.. I think I'll diss a few people I know tonight! Abuse my power! BWA HA HA! *takes out puppets!*
Laura Cox Puppet: I'm really a Jigglypuff!
Elvoid Puppet: Laf.
Philip: Yeah.. I'm bored.. I don't have Ice Blue or Jazzman to pick on right now.. I miss them. And Akemi isn't here.. I miss her.. and Yak isn't here and Oh.. at least you're here...
Sock Monkey sits there silently thinking Sock Monkey thoughts.
Philip: I wonder if absolutegb will let me borrow their zombie..
 
 
 

Muk it up!
Run away Pikachu!! Looky this! Oh, note to Focus on the Family.. if you want to hear ANNOYING, WEARISOME, and GRATEING.. I can pick out any and ALL of the Adventures in Odessy Radio Shows/Cartoons. And YES, I'm dissing that show. And don't even get me started on some of the other stuff that FOF supports. I'll lay-off on Dr. Dobson when he actually takes a side on the Evolution/Creation debate. I have no respect for fence sitters. Oh, am I the only one who thinks that lady is really reaching?

Quote of the Update: "No.. I am NOT Kid Tempo."

Mythri will own you.
Sorry.. no Viral Speak tonight. I will do a HUGE one tommorrow. I wanted to give you THIS as soon as possible. What is it? No.. it's not those incriminating pictures of me and Kate Bottello. (Thanks for the fries! You fed the hungry! I almost forgive you for working with Adam Cessler!) It's.. an interview with the founders/producers/important people of Team XKalibur! They're the brains behind Mythri. Read the interview.. and sign that petition! -PAW-

Foy: Foy! (Do it for the children!)
Philip: Yeah. Or I will track you down and systematically defeat all of your ninja monkies.

This game NEEDS you.
I'm working on setting up a preview for it and I had an MP3 of it in the Sixth Circle a while back. It's Mythri and it's in danger! Click on this here link and support it! I signed it. I didn't do a general group signiture like some sites. Individual signitures are much better. GO sign it! Sign only once though. -PAW-

Ice Blue: Whoa... I'm alive!
Random Blue Virus shoots and stabs Ice Blue.
Ice Blue: Damn...
Ice Blue dies.
Philip: Umm.. bad virus! Take this money.
Adrock: We'll have a tough time replacing him. ;-)

Spin it and win.
Vote! I took off a few ad banners.. *cry* BUT I added two new ones! Keep voting! Round 3 is Friday! Click here. Sony backlash? Whatever do you mean? -PAW-

Adrock: That Lieberman one. I made it.
Philip: I blame you.. Adrock.. the lack of any Akemi to brighten our pathetic lives until Friday has made us desperate evil people indeed.
 

Beware the sinister threat! (Sarcasm!)
Watch out, RIAA! And if I were the National Motion Picture Asssociation; I would take notes. Imagine a network where people can chat with each other and distribute files in MP3 format, or MP2 format, or even CD Burning read WAV! Oh, my God in Heaven! No.. not Napster, Napster is small potatoes compared to this MASSIVE piracy ring of people trading songs and copyrighted material FREE! It's free to download and it's unstoppable! It's.. AOL AIM!!!! Oh, my.. better gang up on that nasty AOL. Which stands for Anarchy On Line! Imagine the horror! Millions, and millions of people use that thing! Horrible! Oh, and Mirabilis/ICQ, people trade more than MP3 and music on those.. they also trade Copyrighted pr0n and Quicktime Movie clips of COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL! Oooooo BAD! It's communism! -PAW-

Adrock: What kind of name IS Lars anyways.
Philip: Add an I in there somewhere and you got it.
 

Muk it up!
Some days are more of a Muk than others. When you're down in the Grimer.. I don't suggest you Lickitong the ground.

Quote of the Update: "Wait until they see the girls of Mythri..."

Muk it up!
Go get those bird cards! After all.. no one really wants them... and... sign the petition!

-July 28th - 31st, 2000-
Quote of the Update: "Impeach - one of those warm, fuzzy words that everyone embraces." - What Senator Hyde actually means.

Mind if I?
It's late and well.. tommorrow, I have a ton of reviews for everyone and some preview goodness! Some games have been announced for the GBA. Yippee. Most notable of all is the Foggy Horror Game.. Silent Hill. I trust Konami not to be stupid with a Survival Horror game.. unlike a certain company *cough* Capcom *cough*. Oh, because it was such a slow day and I was kinda bogged for time and had a lot of HUGE reviews to contend with -as you will see tommorrow-.. I'm leaving Friday's news up below. -PAW-

Oh, those..
Anyways, the banners.. Here's the final five... close race. It's actually six; because of a tie.. VOTE!. Look! Snowflake, and.. Viral Speak! -PAW-

You're going to live.
And I'm sure living is great. Here's your recap!

1. We gots lots of reviews and we added three more!

2. Some early announcements for Space World. Here are four game for Game Boy Advanced said to be there.

Mario Kart Advance (Hmm.. about da~mn time..)
Kuru Kuru Kururin (Roughly: "Come, come, Kururin!" Just be glad it isn't binbinkuru kururin.)
The Golden Sun (A Gambling Game.. I think..)
Napoleon (Probably about a cat...)

Keep in mind that we expect "Magical Vacation", and a new Tetris game at the show as well.

3. Here are a few GBC games for the show!

Donkey Kong 2001 (Donkey Kong Country GBC.)
Densetsu No Stafii (Roughly: "Legend of the Old Staff." Gotta love Japlish slang.)
Pokemon Panel De Pon That Tetris Attack clone "Pokémon: Puzzle League".)
Kaijin Zonaa (Roughly: "Mysterious Zone" or "Strange Dark Area". Slang..)
The Legend of Zelda: Fruit of the Mysterious Tree - Tale of Earth (Apparently, the game was renamed?)
Tottoko Hamutarou: Tomodachi Daisakusen De Chu (Roughly: "If Endless Hamutarou: Friend Dachi Strategy of Cute"... I KNOW I've got that one wrong... it's about a HAMSTER...)
Tennis GB Color (Mario Tennis!)

4. Oh, Mythri needs your help! Sign the petition. Read the interview; if you are wary of the petition. I think the interview can convince you that Team XKalibur truly has a game that is worthy of a publisher..

5.Viral Speak. It is watching.

That's it for now.. -PAW-

Ice Blue: Yeah... Yeah... the same old crap.
Adrock: Dude, Mario Tennis GBC!
Akemi: Hmm.. All these Japanese titles sound interesting.. but Strategy of Cute.. now that game sounds KAKKOII! ^_^
Philip: You've been playing it, haven't you? Oh, sign the petition.. I've been scanning it for names..and I know there are still a few I haven't actually seen sign the petition... if you don't.. I'll harrass you about it in ICQ.. Sign it. Yes.. I'm being pushy; but from what I know about the game.. I covet it hardcore. And that's a good thing.. I lost sleep to get you that interview; because you -our readers- deserve the best content. Mythri has some of the best content.. appreciate the hard work that went into it... and sign. And if you sign.. I might give you a cookie.
 

Muk it up!
Tired.. just leave up...
Go see the movie this weekend! A lot of people that hated the first one are saying this one is better. I saw it, and while I am appalled by the complete removal of the enviromental/religious elements... 4kids did a fairly decent job.. not good.. decent... and... sign the petition! What is it with the Pokémon movies? I mean, aside from the Tellytubby-esque mini-movies.. the main movies are all heavy. Mewtwo's Conterattack was about Death, and the Ethics of Cloneing. (NOT fighting is bad..) The Explosive Birth of Lugia was about the Enviroment and Greed. And Lord of the Crystal Tower is about Death, and Love; supposedly. (Wouldn't doubt it..) I mean.. seriously.. and it gets DUMBED DOWN for US audiences.. what a flipping insult.. oh, wait.. I forgot.. America, or rather the USA, was founded solely on Puritanism.. where as Europe and Asia are founded by mixes of ideas. Lucky people... those Europeans and Asians. They get their stuff straight. Okay.. not really... I've heard of stuff being dumbed down for some countries. Try and find a copy of "Maus" in Germany.. or certain Japanese Monster movies... in North Korea. Or Bubblegum in Singapore.. sheesh.. what type of world do we live in.. if we keep isolateing our cultures?
