I don't really go to CNN Technolegy section, but CNN has found it quite interesting that Disney is making a Videogame of the 1982 movie Tron calling the game Tron 2.0. I know about this a month in advance, but I don't think that Tron 2.0 for the PC is much a impact. I can always to be wrong on it. The graphics aren't state of the art but the game is kind of great. I also read that Nintendo is going to release specs on the Gamecube 2 next year. It'll be interesting which will be faster PS3 or GCN2 next Spring. Whoa!

Well I'm going to try to get a PS2 tomorrow with Bob. I'm am excited. Some how I'm going to have to find $150 dollars for a used console. I'm going to get Grand Thief Auto 3 free. But I plan to also get Gran Turismo 3 or Jak and Daxter. Sony Playstation 2 is in 5 has many homes as Gamecube. First I have to call Gamestop in Woodbury, Minnesota to see if they have one so I can reserve my copy. Then I have to go to the bank. I'm selling my PSone to Bob for 40 dollars. That should give me about 60 dollars of extra money if everything turns out. Here's hoping.

I am continue enjoying the game Legend of Dragoon from Sony for the PSone. I signed a pention at pentitiononline.com to get the next game developed - I said ....

"I hope the next game is even more like Final Fantasy then the original. I want spoken dialog every cutscene! Have a female character lead the game next time. Incredible graphics is a must. Plz make it for the PS3!!! Oh yeah -- hire either Camelot (Shining Force III) or Squaresoft to co-develop the next game because they rock! If there could be more then one difficulty in the sequel/prequel, that would increase the replay, but that the first game was long enough, so when I beat easy, I can replay the character I played again in nightmare when better drops when enemies are present. "

Anyway these are the games that I plan to get for PS2. If not the first time, maybe the second time I go to Gamestop.

• Summoner 2 - looks like a really cool RPG. The prequel was one of PS2's first RPGs which means it's also the best at it's time. But will I play it? I want a RPG other then Final Fantasy. This looks like a good one because it has pretty good graphics. It has a mid-evil look too it.
• Final Fantasy X. I started collecting Final Fantasy games, believe it or not, this year. I got a Playstation last year because I wanted RPGs. FFX has a unmatched gameplay combat system for a console RPG. I've been playing Dungeon Siege and Diablo 2 much longer then I've played Final Fantasy games and they have pretty good battle system. But the other games including Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9 do. Diablo 2 does.feature a ATB (Action Time Battle System) where Final Fantasy X waits because it's a turned based action RPG. Other thing I like very much is the spoken dialog in a RPG like this.
• Grand Thief Auto 3 - Quite possibily the best game for the PS2. Until Vice City came out that is. But I'm getting this game free anyhow. Have you ever stole a car before? I played GTA2 for the Playstation and it was Okay. I just heard this game is one of the best. Might as well try it out then.
• Gran Tranismo 3 - A Spec - I read the review on IGN.com and the article said that this game was packed full with over 20 tracks including 10 Rally tracks which I like since I like Rally (FIA World Rally and American Rally) and Formula One Racing games. The rest of the game sounds good too. I've played it once at Best Buy about a month ago.
• Jak and Daxter - I need a platform game in my collection and Jak and Daxter seems like a good choice because it was made by the same developer of Crash Bandicoot, Naughty Dog Software. I've heard about Jak 2 and it seems like an award winner too.
• XenoSaga : Episode I - Looks like a really cool RPG. It's like Final Fantasy X, has a real sequel with the same characters, and this saga doesn't suck like Unlimited Saga. The graphics are very good. The gameplay is better then Xenogears for PSone and the game is very long.
• Midnight Club - Looks like a really nice Street Racing title when it came out, the price is nice too only $19.99! It reminds me of Tokyo Extreme Racer for the Sega Dreamcast. Rockstar made this game so it has to have smooth control.

I went to a website discussing why PS2 is the better console of any. Click Here for Link to that page. I wrote :

"I agree with ‘Gamer’ to a point because a got PS2 today and I already own Xbox and GCN. Some games I gotten for Xbox are THPS4, Halo, Moto GP, Return to Castle Wolfenstine, and Project Gotham. (good racing game) I play all games listed above sparingly.



I like the Playstation controller mostly because I can play RPGs like Final Fantasy VIII and Legend of Dragoon and both are alright RPGs. The PS/PS2 controller is very comfortable. I got a Mad Catz ADAPTER that’ll hook your PS2 controller directly up to your Xbox. It kicks arse! The Xbox controller is bulky like the Gamecube controller. I admit I like Moto GP for Xbox. I like the Xbox hard disk capacity so I can put my songs on it. Who needs to play songs on their console when theirs radio or cd players. I like the triggers on the Xbox though, the same as my Dreamcast. I suppose PS2 has those shoulder buttons. No doubt that PS2 duel shock is the best controller out yet. It’s nothing new since I had a PSone for about a year. I’m a RPG gamer. In the last six months I beaten FFVIII, FFVI, Star Ocean II, Chrono Cross and I’m now on the second disc of Legend of Dragoon. So although I’m new to Sony Playstation, since then I was enjoying what Sony has to offer with their much bigger RPG category. I like Xbox more at the moment (Midnight Club 2 is out for Xbox and I have yet to get that game.) But I also paid royalty for gaming so I didn’t have to decide, you guys know what that’s like.



So I have all next Gen consoles. I’m playing Legend of Dragoon now. It may be another one of those save the world rpgs, but it’s actually not all that different from Grandia 2. I bought Final Fantasy X and Xenosaga Episode 1, GTA 3 and Suikian III for the ps2 and I have yet to experience them. They all sound good from IGN’s point of view. I was thinking of getting dark cloud and Jak and Dexter. I’m not into Metal Gear Solid or Silent Hill games even though one of them is the top 5% action game of all time. I’ll get back to this board once I “experience” the Playstation 2. "

Back to the Internet. I've played Hyperbonia (a map off the Internet for Dungeon Siege) The map is much better then Yesterhaven because you can play in more then one difficulty. And the armor is better in this game. It's big, there is a lot of trees in this map. And some of the enemies are tough. They are really tough !!!

I found a couple MP3 sites off Google this time. MP3shits.com and Massive MP3. Both working MP3 search engines. Of course most of you know of Kazaa! What do I download? The top chart music. I downloaded the new Metallica - St Anger, and it sounds great. Oh, if you download from MP3shits.com be sure to enter >>> copy metallica-st.anger.eds metallica-st.anger.mp3 in the command prompt.

What has been my last decision should of been by first decission. Ask anyone around and 90% of them will say that they have a PS2 or want one. Well lets see me I own Dreamcast, GCN, and Xbox. I got all the cool games like Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker for Nintendo Gamecube, and Halo and Moto GP for Xbox! But Playstation 2 has all those quality rpg titles exclusive to it. People should know about this because I'm not the first generation to grow up with videogames, their the number #1 toy in America. There is the PS2 but then there's the Gameboy Advance, the 2nd fastest selling videogame unit in America. I own one, but I haven't gotten a new game for it since 2001. I waited until 2002 to get a Playstation. Which doesn't mean much except that I waited until the console had 95% of all the games developed for it. Right now I'm playing Legend of Dragoon. It's a pretty good RPG. I'm wondering after three hours, just when the first disc (of four!) will finally end. I'm going to have to re-write the review for Legend of Dragoon now that I'm more familiar with the game. I'm at the part where Sir Latiz meet with the King Albert and gets home safe. I only began playing it 2 days ago. I'll have it up with in the week. I'm planning to get a PS2 in January. Then I won't miss out on some unbelievable games. So what am I doing lately. Lately I ride my bike around at night. In the summer in Wisconsin, it's warm enough that you can bike without getting cold. The cool night breeze is refreshing. I have a walkman and a flashlight that I take with me. Good exercise too.

I'm only a analyst, but the Minnesota Twins went from a 8 games ahead of Kansas City Royals to 6 games behind them. The Twins also traded a power slugger to Toronto for a lead off hitter. I thought the Twins were going to do very well this year, but it back fired on them this month. The manager has managed the team too hard. He should back off a little.

I really don't know how I came across this page. I now realize that this site has the best NES and SNES reviews I've read in months if not ever. This guy really knows how to describe a game a lot better then I could. He really spent time to write his game reviews clearly. For some reason his sentence structure is so well written, that I think his game reviews compare well to that of IGN.com. Which is impressive. Check it out here. Oh and while you check out that site, you might as well check this N64 Review Site too.

America's Army is great. Not as great as maybe Quake III or Unreal Tournament, but still good. It's free for peeps sake!!! If your like me, you love free stuff! The game makes you feel that your at war with current Allied Ground Forces in action. If the US Army developed it, then why is it easier then most first person shooters? I'm not that hyped up for it like I am for upcoming Halo 2 for Xbox or Halo for the PC. But it has the basis of a first person shooter. Who's idea was it to develop this game? You can download it at their website for free. It looks a tad out of date, but it's probably the best full game you can download. If you have broadband you'll be fine, but if your dial up you'll have some trouble. I'm a college student and I like to work with wires, but on the my spare time I work on this .... small print makes me happy.

I added a one new section to my webpage, the Sega Saturn Review Section. It has 3 new reviews, Nights into Dreams, Shining Force III and Panzer Dragoon. I went to the used videogame store to see if therq was any copies of the old school shooter, Reliant Silvergun. Nope. No major new content. I decided I'm not going to make a dedicated Final Fantasy webpage. With the exception of Final Fantasy XI coming out, I really only beaten one Final Fantasy game and I do not know the series too well. I have an idea of the case of events that the Final Fantasy Saga takes place because of the Internet.

Oh I'll remind all mp3 attics that a new version of the popular enhanced audio addon (DFX) for Winamp 2x and 3x is out. Go to www.fxsound.com to download it. Then go to the crack site http://keygen.us to download the crack to make it freeware.

Since I didn't have a Win98 product key, a found a working key off Google. It is XJQ22-Y47QY-P8FH7-VJ9DK-HKWVW. So if you have any trouble with your installation, you've already gotten the key. Thank me later.

Much has changed. Unlike at the beginning of the year when I really wanted to change my site into something that used dynamic html. I just wanted to make it more dynamic. I am being a little greedy, because of all the modications that make all the gaming sites state of the art, I want on my site. "I want to have some of that pie too." So my site isn't just about having the latest design anymore. Okay, so it never was that way, it's just hurts too much to say how much!

I still have many ideas for version 4.0. A month ago I thought it would be entirely in flash script. So what do you get is limited text with in a enormous download for modem users. Since gaming sites are leading the way in the html script department, I just thought that version 4.0 could be part php (which I legally took from Raget.com (has free php tempates) or look like the very nice, simple, fast loading website like Gamecube 128. A Flash template is out for now. I was playing around with Macromedia Flash MX. I find that the lack of internal effects is dumb. Again the flash template is too massive to be worth a download. I've been doing some searching on PHP setups on my spear time. I've seen php used in message boards mostly. I haven't seen any difference between php and html. Go look at some php projects programmers have done for multiplatform at Sourceforge.org. I went to sourceforge downloading message boards but I could not get them to work. Your suppose to download all the files in your server file and it's suppose to automatically be working. It looks cool when other websites have it though. One in particular .... EZboards.

I guess there isn't anything wrong with 3.0. I'm thinking of keeping 3.0 online. I am not a sell out here, I am doing this website with no cost whatsoever. The programs I'm using are free. AKA. "My html editor is pirated though that doesn't really matter now, people have access to Dreamweaver in class rooms where you can't say that people can't make their own websites, because they can." If someone makes a PowerPoint 2002 presentation or Frontpage 2002 template, people can export their hard earned work over the Internet as a webpage with all images compressed to size. Although Mozilla Composer has the same functions as Namo Webeditor and is free! I don't know if my visitors know that or not. It's worth the download! Mozilla also has a free irc client with it too. If you like IRC, I sugess you getting a modified Mirc client called GeniusXP. It has all the functions of Mirc but it has mods that allow you to say things with CTRL-A,B,C,D, etc. I haven't really figured out what it actually does other then it's a free Mirc client.

I've downloaded the NeverWinter Nights v1.30 beta 1 patch today. The patch is large (55 MB download) I've been planning to play NWN online over the modem. I found two websites that I've added to my javascript menu :

RPG Gamer - a website that collects Game wallpaper. Also has a small news section that talks about the rpg industry.

Theme Doctor - If you want any kind of Windows Themes, I suggest you come to this website for Diablo 2, Elder Scrolls III Morrowind, and Neverwinter Night brand themes. I've downloaded two themes and like them very much! Download the Neverwinter Nights Desktop Theme It's awesome!

The current project I've been working on is a version of php that I've downloaded from Rigsnet.com. It is perfectly legal. This project is called Ian's RPG Guild and I've created websites on Dungeon Siege, Dungeon Siege 2, Neverwinter Nights and Diablo 2 : Lord of Distruction. It will feature some fansites. I don't know what it's going to have. I know I'm still a RPG kind of person. <:0)

I admit that I have no previous experence with stradegy guides. I have plenty experence making Game Reviews. But ever since the games including Diablo and all the Playstation RPGs I own. Such as finishing RPGS without cheats including Final Fantasy 7 (PS1), Final Fantasy 8 (PS1), Tales of Dystiny (PS1), Eternal Darkness (GCN), Legend of Zelda Orcania of Time (N64) Dungeon Siege (PC) Diablo and Diablo 2 (PC) Skies of Arcadia (DC), Grandia II (DC) and my latest competition of Legend of Zelda : Wind Waker (GCN)

I almost had a reason to buy a Playstation 2. I just found out that Chrono Break, the 3rd installment in the Chrono Series is in process of development. I think that is so cool! I've enjoyed Chrono Cross for Playstation. I believe with the new Final Fantasy X-2 and .Hack 2 coming out, I couldn't believe how much the Playstation 2 graphics improved since Grand Thief Auto 3 came out. I believe Playstation 2 is in the 3rd generation of development where games pretty much maxed out it's hardware.

I've also started games (but not finished) like Legend of Dragoon (PS1) Baldur's Gate II Shadow of Aims (PC), Neverwinter Nights (PC), Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind (XBOX), Chrono Cross (PS), Final Fantasy III (SNES9x) Chrono Trigger (SNES9x) Secret of Mana (SNES 9x), Legend of Mana (PS1) Legend of Zelda : Link to the Past (SNES) That's a lot of Playstation RPGs. I even own Final Fantasy 9 (PS1), Lunar II (PS1), Xegagears (PS1), Seiken Denestsu 4 (PS1 (Seiken Denestsu is Japanese for Secret of Mana)) and Star Ocean 2 (PS1) where I haven't even played them since I bought them. So I can call myself a RPG fan when I've completed 10 RPGs and started playing 9 RPGs, and didn't have the time to finish them. And then there is four that I own and haven't even started playing! If you want to hear my opinions, read my console reviews. <:0)

I recently been following up on Final Fantasy XI for the PC. Normally you won't see Final Fantasy title on other platforms. But now you see Final Fantasy XI for the PC and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for the Gamecube. So the latest Information I gotten about Final Fantasy XI for the USA is that it's coming up next Spring with an expansion pack on it's debut date called Final Fantasy XI : ____. However the Final Fantasy XI and it's expansion will be simply huge, I had very little information on the game except for some screen shots. Go to this site if you want to find out a little about FFXI.

I'm thinking of building a Final Fantasy site. Or I can just add Final Fantasy XI to my RPG Guild. Look for it in the future !!!! Normally I would be fascinated with Dungeon and Dragons theme computer games, but Final Fantasy is a dream come true. To save some time, I'll just created a new banner for Final Fantasy XI. I originally planned to devote a new website for all Final Fantasy games. I guess I'll stick to what I'm good at and that is writing reviews. Like-wise it won't be a informational site. I've seen a dozen Final Fantasy oriented websites out there. I'm just going to re-direction this site to the best links. That's what RPG fan sites usually are. In fact I'm excited for World of Warcraft, Dungeon Siege 2 and Final Fantasy XI. Did I mention I got a copy of Final Fantasy Anthony for the Playstation. I've posted my review of Final Fantasy VI on Playstation Reviews !!!!

Guess what everyone. I dug myself a hole and it'll be more expensive to I need to dig myself out of it. I hate myself for it. I had a techician install a new Athlon XP in it. And my screen boots up normally until the boot loader comes up (I have both WinXP and Linux installed) This motherboard that is installed is suppose to be compatible with all Athlon XP 2600. When you install Windows, it first loads a prewindows operating system so it can detect the hardware and install windows probably. My first guess is that when StarTech installed my new processor, Athlon XP 2.2 Ghz, that the operating system can't detect my cpu. So bottom line, I spent a lot of money so a experienced technician could properly install my processor and now I'm going to have to spend money on a 20 GB harddrive. Doesn't that suck? If the possibility of frying my motherboard, but then how could the Linux Boot Loader even show up? I'll know if Windows XP installation on a new harddrive installs completely.

If you haven't noticed I'm now in the beta of version 4.0. Everything is knew in v4.0. I like to keep tabs on website versions because it feels like your advancing in website appearance. I liked the simplity of it so far. My last version of my old website is now known as v3 Alpha or "Final Version" I did some work in "Ian's RPG Guild" The RPG Guild looks exactly like the front page. I wrote my own summery on Dungeon Siege and Neverwinter Nights on the front pages. I spent 3 hours on that part, I hope you like it.

Known Bugs / Sytanx Errors in My Website v4.0

• Xara navagational bar has limited compatibly, thus all the syntax errors. In all web browsers have to read html v4.0 and javascript on to be able to read the javascript menu. AKA IE4.0 can't view this website.
• my website v4.0 is full of meta tags. They are all harmless.

I started a new website at Internet DJ. This is a underground public access mp3 site created for members. It's free and you get free space to provide mp3s and a free static ip. I put two songs on there I did a remix of Super Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda with Acoustica MP3 Audio Mixer 2.46. I'm a Okay Disc Jockey, but their still work to be done. I can do this by recording various beats off other music and remixing it together on one program like Acoustica. I like getting low cost shareware tools so I do get jipped on retail boxes.

I was spell checking my website yesterday. It's a lot of time to spend on a webpage, but I have nothing better to do. So my Gamecube / Dreamcast / Playstation / Xbox Reviews pages should be more readable. I've added two reviews to SNES review page with Crono Trigger, Final Fantasy III, Secret of Mana, Seiken Dunsenue 3 (legend of mana 2.) Most of this you heard before. I actually do play these games, but through emulation. If you want these roms I suggest you downloading iMESH v4.1 and downloading the roms yourself. A good SNES emulator is SNES 9x.

Here are some sites for downloading some remixes of famous Videogame like Super Mario Bros, Diablo and my favorites, Final Fantasy I, II, III, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, and X-2. Once you find MP3s on the Internet like these, midi just fade away in my mind.

Remix.Overclocked.org

Chronicles - Crono Cross / Crono Trigger Music

I also added favorite games / favorite characters to my about author section of my homepage. They are of course going to be RPGs. You have to click on the link to find out what they are.

I've changed back to the full text layout. The javascript I made with Xara didn't feel right. The Internet is full of text navigational bars with no java script, so there can't be much difference between this. I seen javascript used in navigational bars, but these are most popular horizontally. I think people like seeing what their looking at, not searching between gifs to find the right header. So why did I change it. Firstly I thought the navigational bars would look cool, but after I stared at them for a while, I realized how out-of-stake they looked with the rest of the webpage. Plus my page has errors. I had syntax errors ever since I've put in the top navigational bar. Some html script is IE dependant. If I made a simple webpage with javascript, it wouldn't be fun at all.

Besides, because we all know Microsoft is a monopoly in the Silicon Business, most people are using IE anyway. I checked up on the Bravenet stats again. The site tells me what parts of the country they've came from, how often they've visited, what browser they were using, etc. So I know for a fact that the majority is still using Interent Explorer.

I've been working on the Music page again. Added a couple bands while enjoying my recently upgraded pc(s). I've recently gotten Nvidia Geforce 4 Ti 5400 128 bit bus speed. I really thought I would see a difference between that and my 64 bit ATI Radeon 9500 and their isn't much difference at all. I image that I'm getting somewhere around 90 frames per second at 1124/840 on my Geforce 4 and 60 frames per second on my Radeon with the same resolution. The game I'm playing is Dungeon Siege. I've tried out that new Copperhead siegelet and I didn't like it. My friends thought it was cool. But I think it's not.

I'm trying to get caught up in CISCO classes, I'm behind. The course has been online for 3 years now. http://cisco.netacad.net/public/index.html is where I sign in. The page is rather uninteresting because theres not many links to access when your not a member.
