Nice...

The new Neverwinter Nights expansion makes NWN a complete game now. So many new animations, effects, models, and gear have the NWN community drooling. It really has come a long way. Right now we are working out some kinks so as to get our SB sponsored server updated and ready to go for the HoTU. I will keep the NWNers updated.

Also I am looking for new friends. Dont get me wrong I love the ones I got now, but many of them are not into Final Fantasy. So I need three more best friends to play Crystal Chronicles with. Apply today winner gets to play on my gamecube. This game is the only reason I have a gamecube. You know if it has Final Fantasy on the cover I am all over it.

I have a headache...

I was not able to do much of anything this past weekend as my sister got married. That meant that I was running around to various stores getting things prepared, or picking things up. Each and everyday I was woken up by screaming cousins that just came in to town. I even had to set up my PS2 in the guest room so the kids could just sit and play a game. Like hell that Xbox is moving.

Last week I was able to get a lot of Manhunt in. I will save my response for this game to the review. I am niether pissed or happy with the game, we will see what comes out when I type this up.

Sheesh

So before I had time to take the videos down, another 10GB of bandwidth was used. I really don't mind hosting stuff like that but goodness gracious. I know for a fact that one site in particular gave the appearance they were hosting the video but were just redirecting all the requests to our server, at least until I pulled the videos. At any rate, when things calm down and we figure out another solution for hosting files of that nature I will let you know and they will be back online.

Friday night I played The Hobbit. Anyone out there who has played this game is probably shaking their heads right now. While I dug the artwork and the "cutesty" versions of the LotR characters, this game is totally made for young children in my opinion. That being said, unless it gets a lot cooler in a very short period of time I won't be spending too much more time with it.

Bandwidth

We have now used 20GB of bandwidth so far this month thanks to the SMB3 and Contra videos. Unfortunately that is a far cry more than the 8GB we did all of last month. I am working with the guys at Paladin to implement a better solution. I will probably have to take the vids down for a little while. I will let you know as soon as I do something about this. If anyone else wants to host a mirror, please email me.

NumbThumb Links

In the feedback section, on the right side of each review, where there are links to the forum discussion etc, I added links to rent that particular game from NumbThumb. In case you didn't know, NumbThumb is a San Marcos/Austin based online video game rental service just like Gamefly only with better turn around times since they are so close. Give them a look if you are in the market for online game rentals.

Ahh hell...

Looks like IGN and Gamespy merged. I wonder if the price you pay for viewing the site will double?

Ahh I couldnt resist. More details coming soon.

SMB Speed Runs

If anyone is interested, I mirrored all the Super Mario Bros. 3 videos that were going around last week and this week. You can get them on the downloads page.

Child's Play

PAs new program, Child's Play, is blowing up. Over $30,000 in gifts and donations to date. I am completely amazed. You have to see the pics to believe it. I would really like for us here at SB to contribute, so if you are interested there is a thread for discussion.

Yea!

Neverwinter Nights Hordes of the Underdark is in stores now. This expansion is really what Shadows of the Undertide should have been, you know, a REAL expansion. While I jump for joy at another NWN campaign, this is going to be a headache in our NWN community server as we try to update the bad boy. For those that dont know I admin a NWN server online, check out the forums for more details.

Nintendo on top for the month

Nintendo sold over 500,000 Gamecubes during the Thanksgiving weekend, a figure only eclipsed by the 600,000 GBAs that flew off store shelves. Not to be outdone, Sony came out and announced that they sold over 1 Million PS2s during the month of November. If you read the long and carefully worded original Press Release you will notice that:

Consumers in the days following Thanksgiving purchased the PlayStation family of products for those on their holiday lists more than any other gaming entertainment hardware and software.

Anything news that shows Nintendo moving up in the ranks is ok by me.
