I made it into the fan art gallery of Megaman #19!

[Ascended Mermaid]

Congratulations!! You must be thrilled!

[Gamemusicfreak]

Thanks guys! I submitted just before #18 came out, and was surprised to see it so quickly.

There is a time traveling 80's guy I've seen around here.
His hair and clothes are definitely true to the period, but it's his accessories that give him away. I've seen him with a cassette boom box, and I just saw him again a few days ago and he was wearing an old Walkman around his neck.

Where's the DeLorean?

[Gamemusicfreak]

Maybe he can travel at will!

Seriously, the guy is awesome. Dead on straight out of the 80's, it's unmistakeable.

Awesome Keith! : ) I still need to go pick up issue #19 at Titan's Games and Comics since I have the series on subscription there. Glad to see your work in there!

Is it spelt "Dances with Wolves" or "Dances With Wolves", capital "W" on "with" or not?

I would assume the proper way to spell the title of the movie would be "Dances with Wolves" but it could also be "Dances With Wolves" because that's an Indian name given to the main character (Kevin Costner).

He's not dancing with wolves, he is dances with wolves, a name... somebody help me

It's being spelt both ways wherever I look

Generally prepositions and articles (a, an, the (I wonder if "some" would also count as the pluralized counterpart of "a/an"?)) even within names aren't ever capitalized, while other things do generally get capitalized in names. At least, that's what I have observed.

That's all I know.

I've had an English teacher or 2 tell me to just capitalize everything in a title if I wasn't sure. Most people won't care.

Wow!
Nintendo may have limited involvement in ZREO's (Zelda Reorchestrated)Twilight Symphony album.

Project Update #19: Hello again everyone! We have a very important update!




Some of the top people at Nintendo have taken notice of the project and have become involved in an advisory capacity.

Nintendo wants to make sure our entire project is consistent with their brand identity. This is the largest fan-project of its kind, and the first time that a lot of this material will be legally available to the public beyond the game that made it popular. Joypad Records is currently working with Nintendo's head of copyright to make sure that this release complies with their wishes, above and beyond what is required by law. However, most of the changes Nintendo has asked us to incorporate are cosmetic, and should not affect the audio quality or physical packaging of Twilight Symphony as o riginally advertised.

Because of this, discs aren't expected to be finalized, pressed, and shipped until early-to-mid December. Unfortunately this also impacts the digital release, so we are unable to distribute the digital album until we receive the green light from Nintendo. Fear not! Everyone will still receive their backer rewards; the time frame has simply shifted. We hope that you now understand why.

Our hope and desire is that everyone will receive their rewards before December 25th, however if you are an international backer, your order may not arrive until after that date. These dates are purely estimates, but we ask that you please understand the situation and know that we are working very hard in conjunction with Joypad Records and Nintendo to bring this release to you as quickly as possible.

As soon as your order ships, you will receive an e-mail confirmation with a tracking number.

Thank you for your interest, your commitment to our project, and most of all for your patronage! This is the end of a very long road for our team, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we bring all of this to a proper, successful, celebratory close.

Your friends,
The Twilight Symphony Team

I still don't understand why they decided to close it.

Anyone play anything by DK Alpla / Alpha Secret Base? They ( ? ) have released quite a few games on XBLA, a couple of which (Kaiten Patissier, and Ganbare Natsuki San / "Gannatsu") have also received homebrew releases on the PSP. Their games are pretty neat, and worth checking out IMO. They seem to like collectathon platformers, but they give each title its own spin (quite literally in Kaiten Patissier's case, where you have to rotate the entire level to solve puzzles, navigate and collect every item). They're pretty obscure, although I can hardly see why; their titles deserve a chance. I figure it's worth sharing my findings, at least.

I was just playing Recettear when the forest dungeon theme made me think "where have I heard this song before...?!" which reminded me of Ganbare Natsuki San. I swear I recognize the song. Granted, in spite of this sense of deja-vu, I probably just recognize it from playing Recettear a few months ago. I could just be experiencing a false/misplaced memory.

Each time you post something cocoebiz's end-related, I end up going off and buying stuff!

.....But is it just me, or do they have some truly super stuff up for sale now? Like truly super super stuff.

[Gamemusicfreak]

I just browsed through the sale page.

Time to buy!

Managing a team of 8 people is a nightmare.

But it's one I'm willing to conquer.

For those aware of the "Idle No More" movement in Canada regarding the Aboriginal Peoples protest against Bill-C45, I fully agree with this person.

"As someone who has worked closely with Aborignal people and have quite a few as friends, I still see a system that isn't working. The Natives wanted control over their communities and in most of them, the Chiefs have taken most of the funding the Gov't has given them and are leaving their people in third world country conditions. Yet, they keep complaining that we're responsible. That is what is increasing the conflicts and widening the gulfs between us. I get it that they were here first and we owe them (and I agree that we aren't respectful of our land and nature as the First Nations are and I support that aspect of their protests), but they have to start helping themselves. The Blame Culture isn't working any more. I'd like to see them fix their own problems within their communities first. It's not the gov't's fault that there are so many suicides and addictions. It's problems that are persisting within their own culture. Yes, we screwed up big time with residential schools, that was a horrible chapter in Canada's history and I think we tried to make amendments for that. But your nation needs to heal itself and move on or else your society will remain in poverty and in horrific conditions. Asking the gov't for more money or blaming the gov't isn't the answer any more, it's up to you to make your communities liveable, to inspire each other and make something of yourselves. I don't think this present agenda is going to result in that."

Downloading FF III for PSP! My first ever Playstation Network purchase. It's also the only FF out of the first ten that I didn't complete yet. I have the DS version, but was never motivated enough to play it. The motivation I need is in the PSP release, which allows you to play with the original NES music.
