Just came here to say that I absolutely hate the way Spawn Wave talks, man. I know he covers gaming overall, but I just watched something Switch oriented. He talks like he was given someone else's Powerpoint to present and he's not sure if they have accurate info in it.

Pirate's Curse and Seven Sirens are the only real Metroidvanias of the new Shantae games. Half-Genie Hero is closer to Mega Man X and is fine, but I prefer Pirate's Curse and Seven Sirens.

Once per turn, you can Tribute 1 WATER monster you control (except this card) to Special Summon 1 WATER monster from your hand. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed if "Raging Eria" is removed from your side of the field.

I keep seeing these thumbnails and it's like why does Youtube keep telling me to watch the same video every day.

"September 18,2001 - posted by Adam Curtis

Hello everyone, today has been a very interesting day for a couple of reasons. First of all, I have received some email expressing concern for my long post regarding Tuesday's tragedy in the US. I do agree that the PM Web site is not the most appropriate place for such commentary. On the other hand, in the interest of promoting rational thought and stability to what limited extend I could, I decided to make the post. Maybe the NFL commissioner read my post and changed his mind about having football this weekend! (Yeah, right..)

Secondly, I have received a multitude of emails about the possible release of a "Game Boy Advance 2". You can read about this here.

I will personally treat this story with a grain of salt. While I would be very pleased to see such a move by Nintendo, the "proof" offered by jeuxstart.com appear to be the mere wet dreams of a few video game store clerks. Have you ever talked to these people? If so you know why not to listen to a word most of them say... I'm going to leave it at that.

I hope I am wrong, however. It would be great to see those 2500 signatures on the petition make a difference so soon!

Finally, I got the dual-LED frontlight today from UPS. It had been delayed a few days due to flight groundings last week. I am working on designing an optimal power circuit for the two LED's, when I get everything set up I will take some pictures and get them online ASAP. I am optimistic, but only time will tell how well this particular frontlight works!
Are you lost? Have no idea of what we're talking about? Click on any of the past developments to learn more:

June 20 - September 17, 2001: Looking for a frontlight + other comments


June 19, 2001: Our first real breakthrough: an optical guide has been found.

June 18, 2001: A mini-FAQ regarding our project.

June 17, 2001: After talking to various Sharp employees, we learn more about the LCD on the Game Boy Advance and formulate the only possible internal lighting solution.

June 16, 2001: We decide to research the implications of lighting the system internally.

June 15, 2001: PortableMonopoly.com begins its crusade against Nintendo's poor choices in product design and misleading advertisement."

I bought drat near every light accessory for the GBA, including a very bright (but super battery draining) CCFL from Lik Sang. I was day-one on the Afterburner and loved it even though the installation method guarantees you got permanent lit up specs of dust. Then I was day-one on the GBA SP because of course I was.

Last year I removed the afterburner from my GBA to install the Funnyplaying IPS LCD. It still worked, and the same dust was there too.

The GBA SP must have been that guy's personal 9/11.

It's crazy how the GB/A modding scene has exploded in recent years. When I started modding Gameboys two or three years ago, there was no way of doing a proper backlight for GBC, and now there's a few different IPS options available.

I'm currently rocking the gorgeous GBA SP Unhinged.
