So Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff has been announced for the DS….SWEEET ASS!! And, by the grace of the gaming gods, they have kept what makes it Tecmo Bowl…in-game cinematics, 8-play playbook, and that scaled out field. AWESOME!!
SO! What the hell am I bitching about then, you ask? Well, after reading a bit more into some of the 1st impressions posted online thus far, I am a bit troubled by the way the online custom team component is being handled. Read more »
Did you all cry when you read those last two posts? Fear not, we’re not closing for good. Just on hiatus, indefinitely. We’re going through a line-up change, that’s all. Mike Steele is your new Exec. Since pretty much I’m going away for a little while to the Army. Everyone knows the Army doesn’t let you see the regular world for 9 weeks.
Anyway, welcome Mike with open hands, (and buttcheeks) as he crams a new one in your so-called gaming asses.
Until I return.

Okay, okay…it doesn’t really suck that bad….I mean the actually ‘let’s-try-to-blow-shit-up!’ part is always fun, but before you get that part, you have to deal with all of these conversions. You know…pounds to grams, Density = volume/mass, gallons to milliliters…..BAH!! I’m using buttons on the calculator that I thought were just for decoration! Now, I’m sure there are some math heads laughing at me, not with me right now….you know what? PHUCK YOU BUDDAY! Just kidding…unless you really were laughing at me.
Anyhoo, this explains my absence, since I am absolutely paranoid of not getting good grades. I’ll be around a little bit more once I get into my zone, or rhythm, or whatever. My head hurts….
Wow, we’ve really enjoyed the traffic that you’ve been bringing us. Unfortunately life right now is catching up to the staff. Recently the only articles you’ve seen were from Mike Steele. I personally have tried to update everyday myself, however not very many I know, but I’m going to the U.S. Army in about 2 more weeks. 12 days to be exact. We’re officially going on hiatus. I’ll be back in the winter, and hopefully thefour11.org will be back as well.
Thank you very much for keeping up with us, and as it hurts to say our goodbye, we keep it in our hearts to make this only temporary.
However, our return, will be only a few weeks away.
See you soon!

As much as we’ve all enjoyed running this site for the last while, it appears a few monkeys holding wrenches have been launched towards us without much of a warning, so while we try to get rid of them we’re going to be on a little hiatus. Hopefully within a few months things will be back in order and we’ll be able to once again summarize the internet for you. Sorry to those of you who actually found us useful, but I’m sure you’ll find some other alternative (another gaming anime blog on the internet?! Impossible!)
You can still expect a random post here or there if its important, but expect a full return with all new authors very soon.
See you all then!

Not a hell of alot in the chattering mouths of nerds this sunday, so don’t expect a hell of alot of anything from us today.
Unless you wanna know which one of the staff members wins a pokemon card match against the other (I will be victorious), which of us is better at Street fighter Alpha 3 (I think I wear the crown in that contest, but 1ofthebees does play a mean Ken) or how far we got through number of the beast on Expert in Rock band (not an easy task my freinds). Really though, if you wanted to know all that stuff then you’d just hang out with us right?
Expect all sorts of wacky antics once the weekend is over though. Enjoy your sunday guys and gals!

For any of the youngins out there, back before everything aimed at kids was computer generated, we got a wonderful and first of it’s kind CG cartoon called ReBoot. It followed the adventures of the interworkings of a computer turned into characters, all of which whom given tricky little names , and followed their day to day ‘life’ and attempt to survive in games. The show was very popular and ran for quite a bit of time, even getting a small revival and chance to run the previously unaired 4th season on Toonami back in 2001, only to end with an unfinished cliffhanger of an ending.
Why all the talk about ReBoot suddenly? Well, It’s because a website, simply called ReBoot.com has recently popped up and is now showing off a handy little countdown clock that will end on May 30th. What is the countdown counting towards? Ah! therein lies the curiosity and reason behind me posting about it.
Will it simply be the announcement that Universal is finally taking advantage of its right for releasing the 1st and 2nd seasons on DVD, or Will the heavens explode in the thunderous roars of 1,000 trumpets while the Angels glide down and give us the gift of a new or continuation series of ReBoot? Well, I’ve dug around online everywhere and no one knows a thing. No one anywhere has any information other then the site is indeed referring to the cartoon and will be announcing something when the clock runs out.
Take it from me I will be sitting here in front of my computer screen when the last few seconds tick away to find out and I’ll definitely be making a post right after about what the revelation is.

An absolutely gorgeous trailer for the Final Fantasy IV remake for the DS has popped up on game trailers and its a treat for the eyes. As wonderful as Final Fantasy III looked, it seems they’ve used that experience to up the ante a bit. Go check it out and wait for the time that they finally decide to give Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger the sexy DS treatment.

So they officially announce that they have taken Rock Band’s idea, people either liked the idea or hated it but everyone can agree that they more or less saw it coming. What I don’t think people saw coming was the fact that the official pricing of the game has now been released and its a whole 20 bucks more than rock band was.
I was working at Game Crazy when Rock Band came out and even though I was completely okay with throwing down 170 bucks on Rock Band, I didn’t see a hell of alot of other people that didn’t need a bit of convincing. Even people that were excited for the game were thinking twice at first, so to me, It just seems like a 200 dollar price tag is a massive mistake. Unless they plan on including upwards of 110+ songs in the retail version of the game (which wouldn’t surprise me since those morons can’t seem to figure out how to release more then 2 or 3 songs every 4 months) and fix the ugly interface and poor decisions they made with GH3, then I can’t see anything about any of the periphs that will justify it costing so much more than Rock Band. If they are thinking that the goofy, “make your own song” thing will justify the extra money, then they obviously never played the free flash game FIVE years ago on the Pepsi Underground website that seemed to be just as thorough as what they’ve “created” for these next generation consoles.
Oh well, none of my business. In other news we’re going to be changing the website around here soon and launch an online Webcomic here instead, called Nickel-Arcade.com. The idea came uniquely to me in a dream, Its gonna have 2 smart ass main characters and it’ll use gaming news and industry people in a satirical way that will make gamers laugh….but I’m gonna charge you bastards 2 buck’s into my pay pal everytime you wanna visit and read! I’m not sure if anyone has had this idea already, but it cost less, and I don’t care! (Metaphor duly noted)

So what’s been churning through every gamers rumor mill is “Omg, there might be a new Killer Instinct game!” I think the rumors are finally coming true. NeoGAF, the place where most video game leaks can be found, has done it again. Apparently someone posted a leaked photo of some early artwork of the new KI. What makes it more credible, is that it’s been almost confirmed, by 1up’s Quartermann.
