Took me about 5 minutes to make of the top of my head. Is it any good?

I have been using IGN for some time, and I have become fully aware of how truly awfull the IGN boards are.

They are SUPER slow, so slow that you can barely navigate the boards, let alone posts.

Compared to sites like Gamespot, or even smaller sites like Planet Virtual Boy or 64DD.net, IGN's boards are pretty much broken.



It would be very great if somehow IGN can update their servers to make their boards (and the blogs) much faster.

Another thing is the fact that users that are not Insider are treated like dirt. We can't do barely anything! But that doesn't matter so much when you can't do anything even if you are an Insider with these slow boards.

I will take my business to Gamespot, thank you.

IGN is all about content, Gamespot is about community.

With a little improvements, IGN could become all about content AND community!

Maybe I shouldn't be saying this on Gamespot, but oh well.

E3 2005:

Today we are going to officially unveil what all of you have on your minds right now - Playstation 3!

The world's most advanced next-generation system will revolutionize the way you play games. Games will never be the same, running at 1080p and 120 fps with visuals just as good as those in blockbuster movies all in real time. The PS3 is capable of bluetooth with up to seven game controllers at once. Dual HDMI ports allow you to put 2 HDTV's side by side for a panoramic view of the game!

Not only that, we will bring you this system by Spring 2006.

And here are the games!

That's right! Next-generation starts when we say so. Thank you.

E3 2006:

Welcome to E3 2006! We got a lot of great news today!Please welcome to the stage Phil Harrison!

Thank you everybody. You guys have been quite a year for this, well here we will show the PS3 playable in all it's glory!

First off, our first killer app for the PS3, a first party title, a sequel to the game you may already know. Genji 2!

Let's play! As you see here, you got all this fantastic graphics running in real time here, and you can change weapons in real-time too! The game depicts accurately the history of feudal Japan.

So here is this giant enemy crab!

Now what about the PSP?

This is the final PS3 controller.

Looks familiar, right? Well, look what it can do. This controller brings home six degrees of freedom. That means gameplay has been expanded indefenetaly.

Without touching a single button or stick, I can move the controller by just swinging the controller around. Here we got a live demonstration of this controller and it's abilities.

It's amazing what this controller can do. We are centainly not interested in gimmicks. This control will revolutionize gaming forever.

One more thing.

E3 2007:

Will Sony make a comeback?

Can they save themselves, from themselves?

Coming up next at

Sony Computer Entertaiment at E3

If it will last for decades, they have to prove it.

[/spoiler]

Gamespot at E3

The next day after Microsoft's conference, Nintendo get's their publicity stunts in. What can we expect from Nintendo this year?

[spoiler]

Since last E3, Reggie has gone from being the Darth Vader of Nintendo, to the Emperor of Nintendo (President).

Due to Nintendo's massive success in such a short amount of time, they have taken a LOT of names, unfortunetaly most of them being from Sony's side.

Now that their console has launched, it's now or never when they are going to get the point home (and the Wii's with them).

First off: the Wii itself.

Developers have been flocking to the Wii with hundreds of brand new games, but not many of them are actually trying to make their games any good.

Nintendo has been trying to incite developers to make quality games by providing examples for them on how to make good Wii games.

Games like EA's Madden have proved that you can make multiplatform games on WiiBETTER than the other HD versions.

So this E3 is where Nintendo HAS to show their games, or lose them forever.

First off: Wii

Super Mario Galaxy leads the way as the flagship title for Wii.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl leads the way for multiplayer (and hopefully online, but still TBA).

Third party games like Final Fantasy lead the way for third party development.

Next off: the DS

Being the best thing since sliced bread in Japan and everywhere else, the DS has a lot to prove this E3.

First party games such as DS Air and Zelda PH bring more qreat Nintendo titles to the system.

Third party games like Dragon Quest 9 and others continue the DS game library.

So, does Nintendo have anything to fix? Yes.

They need more online games.

More hardcore games like Metroid Prime 3.

And make the Wii in more colors!

All the limitations of the Wii Channel must be fixed.

That is what Nintendo needs this E3.

They proved Playing = Believing, now they need to believe it in enough to keep on playing!

The press conference starts Wednesday morning!

[/spoiler]

Gamespot at E3.

The first press conference at this year's E3 is Microsoft's.In here we review all the things you should know about Microsoft before you enter the conference room!

[spoiler]

Ever since it's launch in 2000, the Xbox has been the second dominant system in the US.

The Xbox 360 blasted away at the market early, making it the current dominant market leader for this gen in teh console market.

The Xbox brand has gotten a lot of followers faster than what the Playstation 1 could do.

With so many fans, and the success of the Wii, Microsoft is feeling the pressure. What will they do? Enter E3.

Over the past year, Microsoft has been getting more support from developers who wouldn't normally would have developed for them.

Microsoft will get into their high point this year.

Halo 3 has arrived.

Banjo returns as one of the most anticipated titles of the decade.

Microsoft pledges to fix for free all Xbox 360 for three years.

Things are looking good for Microsoft.

So what to expect from E3?

Everything.

Xbox Portable!

360 Price Drop!

Brand new Rare titles!

More PS3 exclusives broken!

Or even more ususpected suprises!

Start hyping.

Microsoft at E3 2007

The show starts Tuesday night!

Followed the next day by Nintendo and then Sony.

Gamespot's E3 site

This is why developers have to practice many times before making a full fledged games.

Apparently, my code was not structured properly, and the game has become completely useless.

How do I properly explain this.

Ummm.....

The game will not continue any more.

It crashes.

It is cancelled.

It is halted forever.

I know some of you were looking fordward to the game and I'm sorry for not living up a finished game.

Oh well.

So much for that.

Well, I'll make it up to you guys.

I will get as much information about the game as I can to you guys, either by Gamespot Images or User Videos.

Well, it's day three, and I'm happy to report that nothing has gone horribly wrong yet. There has been some problems, like me forgetting to put a 'biggining' to the game and such, but work has been going relatively smoothly. There still is not title, there still isn't even a working menu system, but it's currently actually a little bit playable.

As you can see the enviroments are taking shape. It might actually take a little bit UNDER 30 days to develop the RPG actually! Well, that is just hopefull thinking. It could take a year to make this. But I got 28 days and I am going to use them.

I tried uploading imags on Gamespot Images, but apparently they did not upload. So i'm going to upload them on Imageshack. When Gamespot Images starts working again, I will post a lot of images so you can see what the game is.

Apparentaly you people want to play my game. That's nice. But I don't know what I am going to do AFTER I finish the game (if I even get finished in the time limit. As you see, if the 30 days go by, so does the game), I'll make sure to have ONE of you play the game.

I will update regulary, so keep on watching.

Well, I got lucky. Now instead of writing a whole game by myself, I got a neat program to help me make the RPG! It's a lot easier than I expected. Looks like the 30 days won't be as hard as I thought. Anyway, the RPG will be in 2D, and will be designed similiarly to SNES RPG's like Final Fanstay or Dragon Warrior.

The RPG will be a linear RPG, mostly because I have so little time to develop it. I have already finished the first few levels of it, which is what I am showing in these screens, but they are still glitchy, so they are still a work in progress.

The sprites were drawn by somebody else. Because it would take MORE than 30 days to draw all those sprites. So all of the drawings and sprites you see are not mine. But what they do, where they are, and the enviroment they are in are completely mine.

The game shouldn't be that long, maybe a couple hours long, but there is a lot of work to be done. Judging by the screens, the game looks simple, right? That's because currenty, it is. I will add some effects and more detail to the enviroments later.

Stay tuned for more info!

Oh, the tragedy.

I got only 30 days to develop a fully playing and working RPG for PC. And it's day 2.

I got a lot of work to do.

I will try to balace my time making that game and being in here to run my union, and do all the other stuff I do everyday outside of this computer.

I still haven't decided on a name for this game, but the game is coming along great!

I will give screenshots later and later I will explain why I only got 30 days to make an RPG,

If you want to see my RPG, stay tuned. Hopefully it will be good!

One of the most critically lambasted parts of Sonic and the Secret Rings is it's music. Featuring lame japanese rock music with lame american lyrics that made no sense at all, it was clearly one of the worst music ever featured in a videogame. But anyone that has played Sonic and the Secret Rings will know that is a very action fast paced game, and music like that sticks out like a sore thumb. There has to be better music than that could go with the game, right?

Here is the original Sonic and the Secret Rings:

[video=JnI1w2f-5bkPuz_a]

Of course! An orchestral score will do millions to Sonic's experience. And what better conductor than John Williams himself? John Williams is the musical prodigy that created the music for Superman, Jurrasic Park, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and many more. Which John Williams score will fit perfectly with Sonic and the Secret Rings? It turns out that Sherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra, a score from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, fits the bill almost perfectly! Once the score is applied to Sonic and the Secret Rings, the difference in excitement is leaps and bounds higher than the original!

Here is the one with the orchestral music:

Amazing!
