This isn’t your normal webmaster. He’s been incarcerated. Out of school suspension on numerous accounts, all of which are completely baseless. Drew the webmaster has been wronged by one very, very red-faced, unreasonably cruel excuse for an administrator, Mark Ballou. This has gone on for too long. He is a menace to our school who uses “administrative discretion” to put innocent students in suspension.

Don’t like it?

Administrator — Fri, 10 Mar 2006 14:27:57 +0000

The screen shot of the day comes from Gears or War, a game yet to be released on the X-Box 360. This game appears to have some of the most beautiful graphics for any game yet. Take a look.

Screen Shot of the Day

Administrator — Thu, 09 Mar 2006 01:47:45 +0000

Well here is the screen shot of the day. This screen shot was taken from the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog game comming out for the X-Box 360. I am hoping this game delevires the speed of other Sonic games using the X-Box 360 hardware the way it could be used. It has a good deal of potential, I just do not want it to be wasted. Here is a quick glimpse of the beauty that is known as Sonic the Hedgehog.

Nintendo 64 on the PSP

Administrator — Wed, 08 Mar 2006 14:29:13 +0000

PSmonkey is making even more progress on his highly anticipated Nintendo 64 emulator. I cant wait for this one to come out. *drools* Nothing sounds more fun to me right now than playing Super Smash Bros. on my PSP. That is not going to happen soon, but much progress has been made. Here is some information from PSmonkey.

Are games running? Well no they aren’t. Currently I am experimenting with two roms. The first is Mortal Kombat trillogy & the second is the PD rom VNes (nes emu by JL-Picard). Both are calling on the rdp to render and have been a great source to help advance emulation. So what about mario? Well actualy mario is also using the rsp yet is waiting on me to implement vector opcodes. Once I can get mortal kombat playable then I will start up on vector ops in hopes of getting mario up and running soon.

A new release is expected on the 9th. We will see what improvements are made. You can check out the full article on PSmonkey’s site [here].

Unholy Alliance Tour

Administrator — Wed, 08 Mar 2006 00:10:21 +0000

A new metal tour was just announced this past Saturday. It is definitely one not to be over looked. The bands that are going to be on the venue are as follows, Slayer, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, Mastodon, and Thine Eyes Bleed. This is one of the most impressive band lists for a concert I have seen in a long time. Maybe OzzFest 2006 will out due it, though I doubt it. It is rumored Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed are playing… Any ways here are the tour dates thus far.

06/06 - San Diego, CA @ Sports Arena
06/07 - Las Vegas, NV @ The Orleans
06/12 - St. Louis, MO @ Pop’s Outside
06/13 - Chicago, IL @ Aragon Ballroom
06/15 - Camden, NJ @ Tweeter Center
06/16 - E. Rutherford, NJ @ Continental Airlines Arena
06/17 - Lowell, MA @ Tsongas Arena
06/23 - San Antonio, TX @ Freeman Coliseum
06/25 - Houston, TX @ Reliant Arena
06/29 - Cleveland, OH @ Tower City Amphitheatre
07/06 - Detroit, MI @ Cobo Arena
07/07 - Eagles Auditorium
07/14 - Seattle, WA @ Qwest Field Event Center
07/16 - Salem, OR @ Salem Armory
07/19 - San Jose, CA @ HP Pavilion
07/21 - Mesa, AZ @ Mesa Amphitheatre
07/22 - Long Beach, CA @ Long Beach Arena.

As you can see Atlanta isn’t going to have stop. I want to know why! OzzFest does not come to Atlanta, which is bad enough, then The Unholy Alliance is going to skip the ATL also. *sighs* Any way, it is going to be an awesome show. Hopefully they ad Atlanta to the list.

Screen Shot of the Day - Halo 3

Administrator — Tue, 07 Mar 2006 13:49:44 +0000

Well here is your screen shot of the day. It is rumored that it is from Halo 3 (X-Box 360). You can decide for youself. It looks kinda like a new SMG to me… The lighting is increadable, and the detail in the broken wall is amazing. Take a look.

Hello loyal Fetal Position readers. Here is todays screenshot. It comes from the upcoming game called Blue Dragon, being developed by MistWalker. MistWalker is an independent developer led by, Hironobu Sakaguchi, who used to be a producer at Square. So far it is set to come out next year on the X-Box 360. It is a rpg ^-^. By just looking you can figure it out by yourself, but if you can not tell, it is based off of art from Akira Toriyama.

Oblivion Release Date Offical

Administrator — Sat, 04 Mar 2006 04:33:05 +0000

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion now finally has an official release date. This highly anticipated game is going to be on store shelves on March 20th. This is the game I have been wanting to get before the X-Box 360 even launched. I believe this will be the best application for the 360 yet, and probably for a while, though 99 Nights does look promising.

SNES - Best System Ever Created?
