This page can be summed up in three words... an update archive.
Update List #4
Sunday, December 12th--Yodeodeo!
BIG kuds (er, abbreviated version of "kudos" for people who are lazy) to
ATW back there for embarrassing me in front of all, um, 9 (?) of our visitors!
Unfortunately, he messed up on one important fact. I'll leave you to think
about this for the rest of the day:
It wasn't the size of the shirt, Jeff...
|
-
And with that aside, it's time to get to the Quickie part of the update!
Add Ons! 231
Sightings! Links (be sure to visit the
new site at the bottom)! Maniacal Laughs! My
short and long (though
you probably won't notice much in the long one) staff bios!
Whee! Now it's time for the actual substance part of the update.
-
BIG ol' news: I've finally finished part one of my
NEW FANFIC!1 Read it, then nip over (it's an
old expression that I promise to never use again) to
Fanfiction.net, search
for it, and, um, review it! Please? ^o^
-
NOT AS BIG news! I reviewed Rollcage, one of the
craziest racing games I've played in a while.
-
New IAQ! New IAQ! Arkrist Merkava submitted his new IAQ! It's called
The Legacy of Dante: Squeaky Doll, and parodies Legacy
of Kain: Soul Reaver. Not only is it written by Ark, but it's his first humorous
one, too!
-
Speaking of parodies, I just wrote what I consider to be the greatest song
parody I've ever written (Course, I actually liked Cid Wars III, so I'll
let you decide): "Sunny" by PaRappa, parody of "Nookie"
by Limp Bizkit! Sing along with the dog, foo'!
-
Cap'n CAM (AKA That Guy Who Runs
RockeT CanyoN) gave
me his newest fanfic, The Ghost of Junon Harbor!
Great to see the Cosmo Canyon tradition still going.
-
I changed the poll to keep up to date on these changin' times
of the Dullard ^_^
-
I also changed the quote next to the hit counter. Why's this so important?
Well, because this is a special Random Reference! If you can correctly
tell me where this quote came from by the end of the month, then I'll give
you a Brownie Point! * Oh, and you'll also have your name in the spotlight
for a few days. Whoohoo!
-
Don't forget to nip over (oops, I lied) to the
[ parasite eevee
] official site! Fritz just wrote one of his best fics to date: "It's
a Wonderful Lifestream".
|
Tuesday, December 7th -- Hey-hey!
It's my turn to update, even Serpent said so! Well, actually, I moved his
jaw and used him as a ventriloquist dummy to say that. He was too infatuated
with the size and transparency of a girl's shirt in French class to notice.
It's all right, James, we understand... it's okay to stare dumbfounded at
a girl's shirt during 6th period and write me comments like "dOoD!!1! lOk
aT hEr sHirT!!!!11 iTs rELlY sHorT!!!!11"
|
-
Anyway... hey, are you listening or trying to get a visual of what I just
said?
-
Okay. First off, we've added yet another new feature to the Swamp... Quote
of the Day! It will appear in the little bottom frame from now on. Why waste
space and put it on this page?
-
That FrEe pIx uF yUfFiE never worked, did it? Well,
here it is, on
our new server.
-
I added a review of Final
Fantasy 5! And what's more, I've never played Final Fantasy Anthology!
-
I added an two images for NECD #4. They're really
funny, especially if you've ever visited
Fat
Chicks in Party Hats.
-
Maniacal Laughs updated. Fwahahahaha...
-
Some news: The site has a new secondary server,
sentra.tripod.com!
If you visit it now, you will find a project that I'm doing in school where
you create your own country, MUCH like Serpent's
Fraundorfia. But it's really only going to
be used as storage space, so it doesn't matter.
-
This won't really matter, but I made a new opening page for our old server,
swamp.itgo.com. Check
it out, it's mildly amusing.
-
Coming soon: An MST or two by Serpent, and NECD #5!
|
Tuesday, November 24th--Hey-hey,
everyone! You Know Who is here, and as everyone knows, the giving tat is
thanks is tomorrow! BTW, JeffreyATW's gone on vacation in Florida, so I'm
left here without anybody to make obscure references with! Sigh.
::suddenly, a random turkey runs into the Swamp::
Turkey sez: Gobba gobba gobba gobba!
Quit yo' gobba-gobba, foo'!
::Serpent231 jumps in his van::
I'll catch up wit dat turkey sucka! My van's helluva FAST!
::Serpent231 speeds off in his van, and something falls out of the back
as he does so::
Recieved Update x1!
|
-
Well, with all those Mr. T references at the beginning, this can only mean
one thing! Add Ons! 231
Sightings! Links!
-
Er, my bad. I meant that this signifies a new NECD! This time, it's Miguel
(owner of the incredibly stupid Fat Chicks in Party Hats) and Shahrukh Hafeez
(flamer to my guestbook--remember him?) vs. Two Fat Chicks in Party Hats
who are bent on getting their revenge! Read on, dOd!
Unfortunately, since ATW isn't here, I couldn't get any images for the beginning
of the match. Still, it's not that
important......right?
-
Justin McNeil, well known writer of Life: The RPG,
Life: In High School, and a bunch of funny e-mails
including my trademark :)>, submitted TWO more IAQs:
Freedom and Outcast!
Spum-kickin'!
-
Speaking of IAQs...um...they're cool. Oh yeah, and Rick
Rodman's Pain IAQ has been updated! Read
it, goshspummit! It's good! ::throws arms up like a football ref after a
field goal::
-
More IAQ related thtuffuth! Tyvek
Liinhaal parodies "Scatman" (no offense, but I've never heard of it,
Ty) by writing IAQ Man. Basically, it tells us
all we need to know about IAQs in a better way than an e-mail message.
-
Also, in other song news, Arkrist Merkava submitted a parody of "Sleep Now
in the Fire" by Rage Against the Machine, called "Espers
Burn You With their Fire"! Remember, never cast Fire 3 on somebody with
bad gas.
-
After being bored one day at school, I created a neato little
List of ASCII Faces on my pocket computer organizer
thing!
-
Funny Screens updated with two by
Taiyoneko dd, a guy
with an e-mail addy from FF Online! Wow, I never
knew that the readers over there knew about us! Mmm...popularity...
-
I updated the poll! According to the last one, off course we
should really go there! This new one deals with that new controversial (and
mostly disliked by CC fans) fanfic...
-
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Pinchy the Lobster asked some people,
and, uh...here's what happened.
-
Updated my staff stuff.
And on a closing note, Happy Thanksgiving, Loren Leah! We knew ye well...
|
Wednesday, November 10th--It's
the Serpent tat is 231, and I've finally mustered the strength to do a
little updating on this place! And, no, it's not just because the contest
ended ^_^
|
-
As stated above, the deadline for the Mix 'N Match contest is up, and though
we only got two entries, it was still tough to pick a winner. Read the results
(oh, yeah, the entries, too) here!
-
Holy golden crinkles, Batman! The
Add Ons were updated!
-
Off course, when the Add Ons are updated, the 231
Sightings should be updated too!
-
Ditto for the Funny Screens as well.
-
I finally wrote a big ol' review of PaRappa
the Rapper! Whooo hoooo! Yesss!
-
And on to the next stage, er, topic now. I added something that I made
for school: A continent that I made up (yeah,
some of it's stupid because of the pointless land features I had to
add, like a savanna and a chaparral, to get full credit) for a school project,
along with a report about it! And what better theme to make for
a continent than one that revolves around Fritz Fraundorf? Fritz Fraundorf
IS Fritz Fraundorf in... Fraundorfia! Check it
out now... Oh, BTW, I got 57/60 on the thing! Not bad, considering
my geography teacher hasn't even heard of Fritz ...
-
I added my
a couple
roleplays that I've been saving up for a uh, rainy day to the
Roleplays section.
-
Updated my bio and staff info with some
thtuffuth.
-
And this isn't exactly an update (yes, I know this update was kinda
small), but I'd like to share a KICK SPUM ASCII face that I made
up myself! Maybe I'll start an
ASCII
Face List when I have the time...
:)>
Smiling Wise Man! Almost as good as Propeller Beanie Man |-(|:-)
|
Sunday, November 7th--3000 hits!
Whoopee! We're movin' on up...
|
-
To celebrate this, uh, joyous event, I've drawn the usual 1000 multi-hit
award. This one features Fry from Futurama. To find
out why Oynx is pissed, click here!
-
Also, I've reached my lowest yet by composing the 3000
Hit Jingle! This one sounds like a slow 50's rock song, for some reason...
|
Saturday, October 30th--PaRappa:
Hey hey hey. Hey hey.
Doesn't One Winged Angel rock?
|
-
MCMSRPGIAQ updated with even MORE cheesy humor! Yay!
-
I updated the Dictionary of RPG Cliches! It may
have been the wrong thing to do, but it's got some FF8 stuff!
-
I've made a new list: The Midgar Swamp vs. RockeT
CanyoN! Let's see who wins...
-
I've written something special for alls y'all... a new fanfic... a tear jerker
called Cloud and Me! Sniff!
-
231 Sighings Updated. Sigh...
-
Maniacal Laughs updated. Hmm... should this be
an Add-On?
-
And to end the day... (phew, still is the 30th) I put "The Midgar Swamp"
in Norse on the title image! Know why? 'Cause "midgar" is Norse for "earth"!
|
Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY! October
24th--Unh, yes! Welcome to the Swamp! Er, sorry, that was a random Um
Jammer Lammy reference. Y'know, I'm starting to quote the game more, even
though I haven't played it in months (Jeff still has it). Anywho, I've got
an update that's almost appropriate for all audiences!
|
-
First off, and most importantly... I finally updated
Pt. Reyes: The Game! Thank you! Thank you! I never could
have done this without, um... well... some binder paper, a pen, and some
free time at school. And remember, you gotta believe!
-
Updated those sploit-tingling(?!) Add Ons, and
incredible 231 Sightings.
-
Aktar updated his Pain IAQ!
And it's more high-tech than mine!
-
Ragnarok wrote a song parody--definitely as good, if not better, than
Mamapapa--called
Bordam Daravon, and parodies the classic
"Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown". Just read it; it's kickspoony!
-
In what I had a lot of fun in doing, I wrote a bunch of characters'
responses to the question "How much wood could a woodchuck
chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Even if you don't get all the
references on this site, just read it anyway!
-
Assassin reviewed WWF Attitude! Too...
many... 10 scores...
-
Time to announce something! With a some help from the
RockeT CanyoN message
board, JeffreyATW, BrandonTCA, Cap'n Cam (yes, the owner of RC), RyuKage
(owner of
Asgard),
Snifit 2, Max Morganov, and me have formed an MSTing group called the Random
RPG Characters! Heck yes! I hope this means that you'll be seeing more
MSTs around the Swamp...
-
Wanted, Dead or Alive: More Mix 'N Match
Reviews! C'mon, the deadline's coming up soon! You
said you'd enter in the poll!
-
And speaking of which... I updated the the poll with a completely different
topic than the previous one!
Well... um... that's it for today!
PaRappa sez: Ya hoo! Alright!
|
Friday, October 15th--Bonjour,
Madame Bifteck! (Hello, Mrs. Beef!) Boy, have I got an update for you!
|
|
Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY! October
10th--I've got some VERY big (well, sorta) news that JeffreyATW already
told you about!
|
-
Okay, here it is! And I'm probably the only person who didn't know about
this until a little while ago:
There's a bigger, more popular follower to Cosmo Canyon! And it's called
RockeT CanyoN (they'll
never tell us why the last letters on the words are capitalized)! Yep, it
looks similar to
Cosmo Canyon, is run by the same kind of die-hard CC
fan that I am, and features some pretty cool stuff, too. Not only that, but
it's collected more hits than our measly 2000something...::breaks
down::
Anyway, here's some even more amazing news--some people who go to that site
actually know about this place!
RockeT CanyoN has
linked to the Swamp without even me knowing--how'd they find us? Have we
actually made a small dent? Also, a guy in the message board nominated
JeffreyATW and the Stussy team as the best MSTers! Wow!
-
Anyway, onto the actual update. I updated those strange-but-true
231 Sightings.
-
Along with the even-stranger-but-true Add Ons!
-
And the true-but-true Links have been added
to and edited.
-
I wrote a review of Chocobo Racing! Wark--I
mean, kweh!
-
A big Cosmo Canyon fan, BenGrande (owner of
beN64)
contributed his hilarious IAQ, HICK, to us!
-
I wrote another one o' them stupid rants, this time being against the
evilness of Chain Letters. It was late at night,
and hey, I wanted to introduce you to my new ASCII Face: Small
Sad Sam! Oh, and it was also an excuse to put in the Ten Types of Chain
Letters
-
I updated Le Poll! According to the previous results, it looks like you want
to see my actual face (although Tifa came in a close second ^_^)!
-
I updated my staff junk like Jeff!
-
I've been warking, er, working on some prizes for the contest (uh, except
the MIDI ^_^), as you can see above, so maybe this'll give some people motivation
to actually ENTER it! Come on! I've only got one entry so far (thanks, Cap'n
CAM)!
-
And just another quick note: After much thought and Jeff presuading me with
the fact that "ev-v-v-v-rybody's doin' it, maaan...", I finally joined
the Kingdom of Windor! It's a lot like E-wrestling, only you don't fight
as much, you interact with others in a friendlier (or not so friendly)
way, and you inhabit a large Final Fantasy style world where anything can
happen! It's pretty cool. Oh, BTW, I control two characters:
Serpent (in RPG form ^_^), and his serpent esper
buddy from FF6, Terrato! Also, my roleplays can be found in
Ye
Olde Tavern.
|
Monday, October 4th--Booo! Halloween
is coming up, and I'm getting ready! Boooo! Okay, actually, it's almost a
month away, but it's October nonetheless.
|
-
Well, the Magus theme is the Midi
of the Day. Just wanted to point that out because it KiCkSz SpUmE, dOd!!!!2
-
I updated the title image of the page. Doesn't it look cool? Now it's got
a 3-D "Midgar Swamp", little icons (that I drew!) of the FF8 characters,
and a moderately crappy picture of Oynx in the corner. Oh yeah, our famous
little saying has a shadow under it, too.
-
James found a site called RockeT
CanyoN, another follower to Cosmo Canyon! It's kinda amazing how similar
it is to ours! I didn't want to put a link to it on the
Links page, James'll do that himself.
-
Updated my Staff junk.
|
Friday, October 1st--Hey there
everyone:
It's the only Esper whose name is synonymous with the Apocalypse, it's
Ragnarok!
I gave it away, didn't I? ^_^ Well, I had to say that, since
its's a well-known login quote you've seen if you ever saw me on a chat program
called The Palace...However, I've dropped it recently in favor of Comic Chat...
|
-
For one thing, I fixed DOZENS (literally!) of simple spelling
MSTakes on the page...Yes, I know, I'm probably also the only one
who even cares about spelling...
-
...But not only that, I've fixed a LOT of links too!
-
...And some typos on the Songs page.
-
...Oops, can't forget a fixed frame title logo, can we (you noticed it was
a bit "cramped" there)?
-
Plus, I've added my pic to the Artwork page, and
put in the last title headers for it and the Sound
Clips page as well. As you may have noticed, I went and redid those too...
-
Wah ha ha ha! I even added my Maniacal Laugh!
-
Last but DEFINITELY not least, you may have noticed
that the spacers look a bit...Different. Yes, that was me: I finally got
those spacers recoded! The spacers now display the way I wanted them to (I
asked Jeff if he wanted me to redo the frames, and he said go ahead)...I
know, you probably don't care, but still...They look nice, don't they? As
for the old (and slightly grainy) spacers, I can only say one thing that
explains why I redid them: This is what happens when you use Error Diffusion
instead of Nearest Color on a grayscale image!
Uh...Nevermind.
That's all for now...
|
Saturday, September 27th--Hey-hey!
I'm not going to say my name for this update! You'll never guess who I am!
Bza ha haaa!
D'oh, that gave it away.
(that too)
|
-
I updated Les Sightings De 231! Don't tell me
that you haven't accepted this number as your favorite yet!
-
I also updated the Links by taking away ones I don't
visit any more. Most importantly, though, I linked to the old
Cosmo Canyon on (shudders) Geocities! Go and read as
much as you can before Cosmo Canyon is destroyed by Y2K [no, it's not
really affected]!
-
On a related note, I added a huge compilation called
The Best of The Mailbag by Fritz Fraundorf,
choosing all the select quotes and memorable letters from Fritz's hilarious
"series". I spent a long time on this, so please read as much as you can!
-
I updated my Tekken 3 Wrestling Move Guide with
what is possibly the Smallest Update Ever Written! Yoo hoo!
-
Funny Screenshots have been updated with a bunch
of stuff, two of which are the funniest things I've ever seen in a Mario
game.
-
Anagrams of Bordam Daravon have been
brought to you by Ragnarok. Damn road...
-
And also in celebration of 2000 hits, I added another one of Fritz's
crowning achievements to the site, due to popular demand:
The Dictionary of RPG Cliches! I bet you probably
won't finish this in a sitting (you see why it's at
the bottom of the update?)!
-
In the making: My new fanfic, an update for Pt. Reyes: The Game, and some
prizes for the contest (you've been working on something for that, haven't
you? Eh? Eh?)!
That's it for today! Thanks for the hits, y'all!
|
Saturday, September 25th--Hey (repeat
x2)! JeffreyATW is here. Got a nice, juicy update. Shut up, Stussy!
|
-
Updated the Add-Ons! Don't Go There was added on
to by its original creator!
-
Ragnarok added some random things. He corrected some stuff, and added
Translations of "You Spoony Bard!"
-
WE'VE REACHED 2000 HITS! WHOOPDY DOO! I decided to celebrate by making an
updated version of the 1000 Hits Midgar Swamp Jingle,
called the 2000 Hits Midgar Swamp Jingle!
-
I added a sample for the Swamp's Mix 'N'
Match Contest. I also made that snazzy little animation on the front page.
-
Well, as you all [should] know, I'm a part of Windor now, so I made a little
bio for my character, Skyler.
-
Ragnarok told me to add James's 231 logo to the
Artwork page. So I did.
-
I have a little system I decided to start: Since most people don't really
CARE who updated, and since we're tired of saying our names over and over,
we'll start putting our own logo on the green part of the update, as shown
above.
-
I drew a 2000 hit award!
|
Saturday, September
20th--Ya hoo! Loren Leah got an update! And as a matter of fact...
so did I (Serpent231)! |
-
First, the 231 Sightings were updated because Ragnarok's
got sKilZ.
-
As stated above, I've started a contest! Yep, this one starts from where
Cosmo Canyon left off, called Mix 'N Match! Just combine the names of two
games or two characters, and write a couple paragraphs about it! The deadline
for this assignment, er, contest, is Halloween--uh, October 31st, for the
chain letter forwarders out there--and the prize will be... well, you'll
just have to win to find out, won't you? So, uh, why don't y'all get busy?
-
Third, Arkrist Enemia submitted
a review of this really obscure game... uhh... what's
it called? Oh, yeah. FF8.
-
Fourth, I copied down a couple WWF Attitude Create
A Wrestler Formulas (sorry, wrestling haters...). There will be more
added soon, but for now, we'll show you how to make me, James Gowdey, and
Serpent of E-Wrestling fame. I even got two slightly blurry screenshots
of James and Serpent!
-
Fifth, and finally, Jeff and I thought up a parody of a little known alternative
humor comic called Red
Meat (BTW, this is where Milkman Dan came from--he's in the
Maniacal Laughs section), called Blue and Green
Meat, off course. Now, it's hard to explain, so just go to the
Misc. Stuff section to read the description (sorry,
I'm lazy tonight). I will tell you this, though: Jeff did a great job
of parodying the dark looks of the comic!
-
Sixth, Rick Rodman updated his
Pain IAQ! If only I could do the same (to my IAQ,
stupid)...
-
Seventh (phew!), I finally updated the poll with a very important (yeah,
right) issue. Jeff'll have to fix the new design that I messed up.
-
Eighth, Ragnarok made some updated title images for each section! Including
some ones that weren't there before, like
Roleplaying and MIDI of the
Day Archives!
-
Ninth, and least importantly, I added my new Maniacal
Laugh to... uh, yeah. I didn't want to put it at the bottom because Steve
Caires (AKA Caires Sith)'s laugh is the best one to finish the page off.
-
Last, I'd just like to tell everybody that sent me a birthday present
(all two of you!) that you should send it again, since I lost it when my
computer got de-formatted. I figured that I'd better say this soon,
or you would probably sign me up for a few dozen mailing lists because I
didn't put your present up.
I know you're probably still shaken up by that Blue
and Green Meat comic (hey, I linked to it here, but not up there!), so
I'll try to cheer you up with this:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Saturday, September
18th--Ahh, love is in the air. And love can work all kinds
of miracles...like inducing Loren to update for the first time since she
started school...
Yes, as it so happens, I've had my crap quota for the day filled as well.
I'll just get on with my little update here. |
-
Well, I've got Chrono Trigger on the brain... ^_^ So I couldn't resist snatching
up these screenshots of the animé scenes
from the new PSX version of CT. Okay, so they're not funny...but they look
DARN good.
-
Umm...oh yeah. I updated my profile to reflect my
change of handle. Like you care.
|
Friday, September
17th--JeffreyATW with an: update. It's pretty: good. I
also have: some really good news. The updates are: |
-
I made a list of Maniacal Laughs! It's compiled
by me, and these things were taken from all over the place!
-
I finally updated my MCMS RPG IAQ! Yee-haa!
-
231 Sightings were, off course, updated.
-
I wrote a review of Um Jammer Lammy! Gave it
a 10, of course...
-
Ragnarok's now officially officially officially a staff member, because he's
on the Staff page! Updated my description, too.
-
Big news: I GOT FF8!!! GameCave finally
sent it since I pre-ordered it a couple weeks ago, and it kicksz spumm, doOd!!!
|
Thursday, September 14th--Serpent231 (finally)
here with an update for all y'all! In case you didn't know, my computer got
a @^_^%*@#*$%=) VIRUS, and that left me without working programs for a week,
and after my dad and I took it into the shop, they DE-FORMATTED (i.e. erased)
MY HARDDRIVE! So basically, I lost everything I hadn't put on the site yet,
along with my extras MIDIs, pics, and, *sniff* some birthday presents I got
from a few readers! So, this will hurt the updates, but if I can still scrape
together some stuff every week, the Swamp will be fine. |
-
I got a new IAQ from a former Cosmo Canyon reader,
Aktar (real name: Rick Rodman)! It's very
well written, and combines humor with futuristic drama! 'N stuff! Oh, yeah,
and it's called Pain! BTW, "pain" also translates
into "bread" in French, but I don't think that's what the author had in mind.
-
The Add Ons have been updated because, uh, I felt
sploity.
-
So have the 231 Sightings, only I didn't feel as sploity.
-
This isn't really an update, but
on Fanfiction.net,
my fanfic, The Quest For the Jade Monkey, got
another reader review!
The story was disjointed, rambling, psychotic and every major character sounded
like an escapee from an asylum. I give it a rating of 9.5 and humbly request
that the writer give us a sequel. And next time, *please* try and include
the 80-foot tall robotic Winston Churchill that devastated Cincinnati before
Jizmo the Wonder Horse stopped him and saved Easter. --Tempus (9)
Isn't that cool? So, anyway, like he requested, I've begun to write
my new fanfic! It probably is going to take a while (and I do mean,
a while), but I got some motivation for it! Maybe if I got some more
reviews of it, I could go even faster! *WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE NEVER MIND*
-
And on the flip side, someone wanted to MST The
Jade Monkey! In response, I wrote a big
ol' rambling message about nothing in order to scare them off and never
want to MST my stuff again! It's probably the stupidest thing I've ever written,
actually.
-
Ragnarok, like that anagram-contributing staff member that he is, contributed
some, well, anagrams! This time, Midgar Zolom
and Fritz Fraundorf get anagramized.
|
Saturday, September 11th--Hey-hey! It's JeffreyATW. This
site hasn't been updated for a while, because James's computer came down
with the notorious "Happy99" virus from downloading too many MP3's. Well,
his computer's back now, but he lost a LOT of work, like roleplays, MST's...
that's too bad. But, onto the updates! |
-
I've joined the Kingdom of
Windor! That's right, all you Lady Marrah fans. If you didn't know, our
other staff member, Lady Marrah (now
known as Loren Leah) used to be a part of the online rp-ing group, but now
I've become interested! I added a link to it on the
Links page, and I also added an
MST of something some guy posted.
-
Some more news: the Dreamcast sucks! Yes, that's right, I had the dishonor
of trying the system out even before its 9/9/99 release date, and not only
is it not worth it, it's got bugs! According to a report from MSNBC and KRON
Channel 4 News, There are bugs in games like Sonic Adventure and some NFL
game. Really, don't buy the Dreamcast. It's another dud, just like the Saturn.
-
I added a 231 Sighting.
-
It's about time: Ragnarok's joined the Swamp!
He's our latest staff member, and has the job of being Official Error Reporting
Guy! He'll try improvng the site in any way he can. Congrats!
-
The first thing Ragnarok did was change some graphics. He made a new graphic
for the top frame, changed the Spacer frams slightly, and he made some new
Poll and Board graphics.
-
Also, FF8 is mine! eheheheehehehhe!!!!!!11 I pre-ordered it in the mail,
and it should be coming either today or tomorrow! Pity to all that didn't
pre-order it!
-
Spekkio: HEHEHEHEHEHE!
-
Hey, I said it first.
|
Thursday, September 2nd--You're probably wondering, WHAT
THE SPOONY IS HAPPENING TO THIS SITE?! Even if you're not, you may have noticed
that the What's New Section has merged with the index page. It's a new design.
Also, the links to other pages on this page on the front page (whew!) have
disappeared also... you'll have to use the menu sidebar from now on.
Mwahahaha. |
-
But of course, I have an update! I added on two of my own reviews! One's
of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and one's
of Wario Land II. Enjoy that.
-
I added a drawing of mine to the artwork section. It's from the
MCMSRPGIAQ, and it's the title
image.
-
Here's something pretty cool... remember NECD #1?
The epic battle between The Secondary Staff Members and the Unknowns? Well,
Serpent took his neat ol' WWF Attitude, and JeffreyATW took his neat ol'
video card, and created 3-D Screensohts of NECD #1!
-
Ragnarok pointed out that SOMEBODY
(really, I don't know who) took advantage of the poll. Either someone voted
for Sleek Spum and Serpent 40 times, or our site's gettin' mighty popular.
-
Sorry to say that that's all. Well, no one cares, but I'm in the middle of
Chrono Trigger, and I think it's as good, if not better, than FF7. Yup, I
REALLY like Chrono Trigger.
-
Also, coming soon... THE ULTIMATE MIDGAR SWAMP! Well, if you call
my site merging with this site
ultimate...
|
Monday, August 23rd--Hey, hey, hey, hey, uh, hey. Boy, that's getting
old... It's JeffreyATW! I came back from Terra Linda (translated to Beautiful
Terra (I think Celes looks nicer)) High School! It was just orientation,
you know, getting to know the school, but I think I'm gonna have
buckets of fun, Alice! |
-
Well, the Midgar Swamp, being the popular site that it is, has recieved too
much artwork to fit on the Misc. Stuff page, so
I've created the Pictures page! It contains two
sections: the ever-so-popular Funny Screenshots,
and the new Artwark, I mean work section! And
yes, it does mean that you'll have to click twice to get to the
Funny Screenshots...
-
After much thinking (and a reluctant "okaaaayyy....." from Serpent231), I've
deleted and moved some stuff from the index. I've
taken away the two voting pages (they were tacky and annoying to click on
every day), the webring (which served absolutely no purpose), and I've moved
the guestbook to the menu. All we want is a nice, fast download...
|
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! August 22nd--Hey-hey-hey! It's Serpent231
AKA James Gowdey (inc case you forgot my name) here! I just got back
from an absolutely BEST time in the absolute BEST camp I've ever been to...
none other than Pt. Reyes! And I actually plugged the site for the kind,
loving people in my three day (maybe it was four days... it went by so fast!)
backpacking group! Pt. Reyes is such a gorgeous place, you won't believe
it. I really miss being there with my group!
Oh yeah, I have an update, too. |
-
More Funny Screenshots means... more
Funny Screenshots!
-
Arkrist Enemia (no, that's not his real name) sent in
two
halves
of a new IAQ (it's another serious one), along
with a big
map of
his Prodigy IAQ! And it's
better than my race track art in Pt. Reyes: The Game!
-
With help from Enemia again, I've made it so the
Links section opens the given sites in new windows!
No more opening-up-a-new-page-that-has-frames-within-the-Swamp's- frames
syndrom!
-
I wrote a really stupid song parody of the Bum Bum Song by Tom Green, called
the Spum Spum Song by Cait Sith. And nobody will
understand it! Well, actually, you can download the song in either MP3 format
(you need Winamp for that--try searching for it), or RealAudio format (everyone
has Realplayer, right?) from
here!
It's just as stupid as the parody, and filled with bathroom humor, but I
like it because it's trying to be different! I bet all the Pt. Reyes people
just sighed and shook their heads after reading that last sentence. I don't
usually like bathroom humor!
-
Finally, I just want to say "Hey-hey!" to all the readers from Pt. Reyes
that are, well, reading this update! WONK!
Well, school's starting in a little while, so don't expect as many updates
as you're used to... grumblegrumbleschoolgrumblekickallthelockersgrumble...
|
Friday, August 20th, part Deux--Cedric Henry, or somebody like him |
-
Hello, it's Cedric Henry here with a much-needed update to my
extremely-self-righteous Um Jammer Lammy FAQ!
-
Also, please note that Chrono Trigger is getting
rereleased for the
Playstation! Peasants rejoyce!
|
Friday, August 20th--Hey, it's JeffreyATW again! |
|
Wednesday, August 18th--JeffreyATW with another pretty cool, yet small,
update. |
|
Sunday, August 15th--Yo yous guys! JeffreyATW here, and Serpent's
gone on vacation, again. But this time, he's gone back to
Point Reyes! |
-
He told me to add a link to MTV's
TRL (Total Request Live)'s
website. He wants you all to vote for The Bum Bum Song (Lonely Swedish)
by Tom Green. Damn, that song is funny!
-
I fixed a lot of broken links that were made while moving the site.
Thank'so-much, Ragnarok!
-
Ragnarok also suggested this... he
made me turn all the links in the menu from images into text. So get the
Westminster font OR ELSE!
-
I updated the poll, too.
|
Friday, August 13th--It's Friday the 13th, but it's time to celebrate,
because of three things: |
-
1. We're back on Tripod, baby! Only this time, with PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP! No
annoying ad's! And I (JeffreyATW) paid for it myself!
-
2. It's Serpent231's birthday (or at least, party) today! This new location
is my present to him.
-
3. I made a MIDI of Kyle's Mom's a Stupid B!%@#
by Eric Cartman! I also linked that to Ragnarok's
parody.
-
Also, I changed the color of the
message
board to look more like this webpage.
-
Also also, I changed the menu's buttons into text, which is bad if you don't
have the Westminster font.
-
Also also also, got some bad news: Lady Marrah has left the Kingdom of Windor!
In other words, no more Lady Marrah! But it also means that she'll be going
as her new name, Loren Leah.
|
Monday, August 11th--Yodeodeo! Serpent231 here. You know, I found
that Zelda 64 sighting before in a magazine, but Jeff used his Spong Fu
magic and made me forget it. |
-
I wrote a big ol' review of Marvel Super Heroes vs.
Street Fighter, one of the best fighting games to date (next to Tekken
3). Also, I put up an old review of Blazing Dragons,
written by Lobstaboy, that I was saving up.
-
The infamous Add Ons have finally been sploited...
er... updated. A new one's been started by
Joel
Guzman!
-
And on a similar note, Joel gave me a 231 Sighting!
I did, too, with a couple school related ones. Naw, high school ain't be
startin'--I'm talkin' bout tha' "old school" , foo'.
-
In IAQs news... I've put up Part Two of
Arkrist Merkava Enemia's innovative
and well written Prodigy IAQ!
-
I updated my bio, as well as the one in the
Staff page. Hey, I'm starting to sound like Jeff!
-
And to cut down on the size of the main page, I
made two of the bigger pictures (besides the logo) links, and took out the
Xoom image from the Top FF Sites webring at the bottom. The page is still
too big, though!
-
Still coming soon: The MST! Unfortunately, Lady Marrah dropped out of this
one. C'mon, Marrah! We need some more stuff from ya!
|
Monday, August 9th--JeffreyATW here, Serpent's on vacation. He should
be back by... uh... tonight. |
|
Saturday, August 7th--Hey-hey-hey! It's JeffreyATW. You can tell that
because I said three "hey"'s. |
-
I composed a new midi! This one's pretty strange:
Girls by the Beastie Boys.
-
I uploaded a couple more FF6 Funny Screenshots.
-
Updated 231 Sightings.
-
Updated my Staff description. Well, all for now!
Now back to the last battle of FF6.
|
Wednesday, August 4th--Hey-hey! 231 here, and I've got a date tat
is up for yasall! Uh-oh, I'm starting to talk like Meowth... no, maybe that's
Jeff. |
-
Foististloi, we got yet another
message
board, better than the first! And it's still called the Midgar Board!
-
Soicondloi, I actually updated my Tekken 3 Wrestling
FAQ! Maybe snowballs DO have a chance in Hell!
-
Should the Links be updated, due to popular demand?
Coitenly!
-
Two more reviews added, cause Assassin and I felt
like it. Behold! Syphon Filter and
3D Dudes!
-
I added one of the Cheesiest Death Scenes Ever to
the Funny Sounds page. Now you'll understand
Evil Cid's last words in the latest NECD! Also,
I gave you the Jigglypuff wav, the most sickeningly
cute thing you'll ever hear!
-
Also, I added music to Turk Up Your Life,
Aeris (sic), and Ode
to Luna. It took me a while to find all of them, so please check out
the songs!
-
Coming soon: The MST (with Lady Marrah recently joining the team), and maybe
a move to a new server!
|
Sunday, August 1st--JeffreyATW is n'heah... got a cool update for
y'as. |
-
Foistest: The page titles are all different colors! To find out why, read
the Page FAQ.
-
2nd, I updated Funny Screenshots with a whole new folder
of FF6 shots! Don't forget to read the
comments about some of the files, though.
-
I put a link to the new
message board
on the front page.
-
I also put a review of Hexcite for Game Boy.
