Outbid
I’m sure you are familiar with eBay. I, for one, like it a lot, and have bought some neat rarities from there such as some old N64 cartridges. But anyway, the reason I mention this is because it has suddenly taken control over me! So, I didn’t know when this happened, but Nintendo discontinued the Crimson/Black DS Lite color. Yeah, what the heck? Why? To make way for the new Cobalt/Black color that released last week? Pfft. Spiffeh, but Nintendo really knows how to get people to buy the same system over and over again!
You all know I have the original DS Phat (as seen in Episode #1.3) and had really no intention of upgrading, but when that beautiful combination of red black graced a shiny DS Lite late last year, I had to get it; this color combination also happens to be my favorite, much like my iPod video – U2 color style!
So, time passed, and when I heard rumors about Nintendo cutting off production for this color, I made a trip. I visited my local Gamestop to find out from the counter guy that they aren’t receiving anymore shipments of that DS color. Bummer. That being said, it brings me back to my first sentence. With this, the prices for the auctions of Red/Black DS have sky rocketed. I have been unable to find one on the ‘net such as BestBuy.com, so it looks like my best bet would be just finding the last stock at a store, because as you can see, I am not very succuessful via eBay. o.o;
So, that’s my juncture right now as far as Nintendo goes… I am looking for one. It’s keeping me a bit pre-occupied and a little twitchy. But that won’t collapse my plans for this weekend! This Monday is President’s Day here in the states, and I will be free of schoolwork! I shall take advantage of this by going ahead with the blueprints for Razorswitch, episode 1. It should be good. The script is almost done, and, gosh, you guys are gonna love it. It’s hilarious. Or, at least the script is… so I hope we can produce the same effect on video. Are you hyped up!? I am. Heheh. See you Tuesday for another update! Have a spectacular weekend. :]

St. who?
Okay, I’ll admit, it’s a lame title, but eh, I couldn’t think of something more creative… (… you don’t get the title, do you?) It’ll come to ya later. =]
So yes, it is that time of year again! Some people love it, some hate it… either way, it’s basically the only reason why you still see that Hallmark store in the mall. Ah well. Haha. I personally like it, though I’ve yet to have a relationship that occurred near Valentine’s. Heh, it’s still a fun day. I mean, what could be more fun that spending loads of money on chocolate, teddy bears, and v-day cards? Oh. Well. Um… right. Anyway, I hope your day was a good one, and also hope you had a good Single Awareness Day (if that applies to you…heh)! And, I hope you enjoyed my cheesy version of a valentine layout for NintendoBoy.com. The next time you see it will be in 2009. That of course is if my stuff is successful and my site will live to see the day. Heh… Ew, kinda nervous now. So, as far as the site stuff goes, my crew and I are still pitching ideas and scripting the first episode which I hope to release before Brawl comes out (Mar. 9th). Also, I am working on a new NintendoBoy project. You shall see some upcoming updates on the respective page – it will be an interactive “adventure plot” game… hmm, that doesn’t sound familiar, does it?
So… just outta curiosity, would you want a free email @nintendoboy.com? I’m testing a new program for something… secret. It would be basically be anything you want at internetdinosaur.com and would forward to your current email address. I have approx. 10 emails available for testing, so if you’re interested, leave a comment.
Have a great day, and see you tomorrow! =]

We are now writing
If you haven’t heard yet, the Writer’s Guild of America Strike (in the States) that lasted from early November last year ended last night. I am happy to hear that the the writers are finally getting the attention they deserve. We can now have back our beloved shows such as House, The Office, and 24! On a completely unrelated note, the scripts for Razorswitch have begun. This weekend, I will gather with my crew to begin production for the introductory episode. This is something to look out for; it’s going to be a great comedy. Where else will you be able to get fold-out tables, Pop-tarts, and monkey problems all in one series?
On a more… cooler note… with the progress & production of the new project, you should be ecstatic to know that I shall post a daily blog update on the site EVERYDAY! *Actually, it will be everynight. But anyway, that’s right, every day ending in a “y”! This posts will mainly be progress stuff, but who knows, you may stumble upon on something incredibly neat.
Also, by popular demand, a flash version of Super Smash Bros. is now added in the game room! And yes, I do realize that that page is a mess, and I shall get to cleaning that up eventually. :]
Cheers for now!
