Mock Nintendo Power issue

Remember last time I posted the cover?  This time I finished the assignment.  I completed the two pages required and here they are!

Capcom Flash files

You know those images on flash pages you could never really get without interference?  Well I was able to extract the files from the pages to isolate the art.  Most of them are transparent PNGs and are really useful.  But most of the files from BN6, however, are bitmaps, so no transparency.  Still, they are quite a collection.

Megaman Star Force 3

As you may already know, Capcom of America recently updated their Megaman page to include MMSF3 content.  It's quite amazing.  The release is coming...

You can find it at:

megaman.capcom.com

Also, I've extracted all the files from the Satellite Server.  This means you can browse through their content such as images.  There are a few good ones.

Download files here!

The TREZ Gallery also has some of the images.

And finally, I finished the main story in MMSF2 alredy.  It's really enjoyable.  Though this time when I played, I took notes.  In a couple of days, GameFAQs should have some map guides I made.  And within the next week, my Blue Mystery Wave List and HP Memory List guides should be complete.  In the end, it was good practice because when I start playing MMSF3, I'll do the same thing and maybe more.  

...oh, and one last thing.  If you're reading this, please leave a comment at least.  It's kind of strange to have zero comments on everything I post.

Really hot!!

These past few days have been really hot over here lately.  Really, record breaking temperatures for three days straight.  It's like summer, but it's spring.  The temperatures here in Anaheim have been over 90.  It is not comfortable.  I like cold weather more because it isn't really that cold here.  It's easier to avoid.  And at home, there isn't even an air conditioner.  Only a fan.  Up until now, there was no decent fan to use.  Only that loud industrial-strength fan.  But today, I got a better, quiter fan that I hope to use more often.

And another thing.  Remember that Future plc logo I showed off earlier?  Here is where I had to use it.

The assignment was to create a real-looking magazine cover (that is still circulating) using Adobe InDesign.  As you can see, I chose Nintendo Power.  Oh, and it had to be the September issue.  It didn't really matter, I wanted to use Megaman on it.  I also had to make the Nintendo Power logo.  They use a font called Amplitude Book on almost everything.  I think it looks really close to the real deal.  Plus, I had to make a real-looking barcode.  I tried using a generator from waspbarcode.com and I kept that one.  That's not all.  A two-page spread is also part of the assignment.  One ad, one inside story.  I'm doing the Trauma Center one and an ad for Punch Out!!

I hope to have that by this week.  It's a really fun assignment.

The New Crisis - Episode 8.5

It's finally out! I only worked on it for two days, about 15 hours. It's an amazing Crossover episode that required a lot of effort. Purely my fiction, so the real one probably didn't go that way.

You can watch on the Youtube video player


Just Part 1. There is another part to it that I am currently working on.

Update:
Part 2 is done. Now on to Episode 9!

Cool new hacking program

Greiga Master has created a new hacking program. It's for BN6 and generates user-made messages for use in the game. It converts words and includes special actions like text speed and sound playing. I will definitely be using this from now on.

Here is a screen from the latest version.


The output can be downloaded here.

I have a video, too.

Easter Day

This year's Easter was a little different that before. As usual, we go to a park and eat and have fun. But it was hard to find a park with enough space.

First, we got some Subway subs and put them in a cooler. Then we went about 8 miles to some nice large park. However, that park was absolutely full. There was no space to park whatsoever. Then, we returned and looked around for other parks. Can you believe how many parks were completely filled? I believe all parks were like this today for most parts of the United States. Crazy!

Anyways, after about 2 hours of searching, we finally settled down to a local park which was walking distance from the Subway.

Some vector logos

I may have already mentioned these, but there is nothing wrong with putting these out more.

As you may not know, Future Publishing is the company that prints Nintendo Power. I needed it for a school project, but I had a hard time looking for a hi-res version that I could use. So I found a PDF that had their vector graphics and now, this should be the largest version of their logo on most of the Internet.

Here is the Future plc logo:


Plus, I got to snatch a Nintendo logo as well. Also very clean and hi-res:

Of course, this means these images can be used as you wish. Desktops, fake magazine covers, collections.

I get to play MMSF2 again!

Finally, after 400 hours I give up trying to get all the Star Cards in my Zerker file. But I was only missing 12...

Anyways, now I get to play the game again! This time I'll use more wave command cards and have a great time! I always had my Saurian file open, but just with 1 minute of play. I opened it so I could get the Le Mu and King Grandeur cards, so right now, they're the only cards in my pack and I'm prompted to check my pack upon loading the file.

Also, I uploaded my save at this point so this was the first time in a long time that I got to see my game cart outside the DS.
