Very reminiscent of the Averaging Gradius project, but done with a certain eye for style in a much more modern and better looking game. Averaging Gradius still holds my heart (and the title of progenitor,) but this really should be seen.
Some movies. There are three, so I’m hiding them behind the more button. Don’t mind the name, or the black-and-whiteness; you want to see these.

For those who haven’t noticed, the dev channels from efnet for Nintendo hardware have moved to irc.blitzed.net . Affected are #dsdev, #gbadev, and #wiidev.
That PC sudoku client I keep talking about is starting to come together. Probably in the next week or two, I’m going to start looking for beta testers. Beta testers get 500 free puzzles, and don’t have to pay any money to be involved. If you’re interested, read on.
I’m looking for beta participants for my PC client! See http://blog.sc.tri-bit.com/archives/151.
I’ve got a potential buyer for my PC and Nintendo DS Sudoku clients, so I’ve been working on them fairly exclusively. I’m kind of hoping to have news about them soon, because in particular the PC client has a bunch of fairly odd new features which I am quite proud of. But, first I have to get them sold.
That’s right, it’s called the Wii now. Apparently Nintendo didn’t learn from Intel’s Viiv bungle; that’s pronounced “we,” not “why.” It’s supposed to be inviting, comfortable, and unifying, and to emphasize that everyone plays. Also it avoids acronymitudinalityhood.

The DS WiFi Lib spurred by the DS WiFi Bounty is starting to bear fruit! Bronto has begun work on a functional, operating email client which uses pop3 and smtp in standard fashion. The results are surprisingly appealing.
Kevin Siembieda has generated some of the best RPG stuff on the market. Rifts was the second RPG I ever played, and I remember it to this day as the only modern dark horror setting I’ve ever seen that actually worked in gameplay.
Kevin has been screwed to the tune of a million dollars, at a time when he’s stretched thin on a bunch of exciting projects which suddenly he can’t float. There’s a decent chance Palladium is going under. However, there is hope.
Kevin’s handmaking a poster – a small, black and white pencilled 11×14″ affair, hand-numbered, featuring all the major characters of the Multiverse. Copies are a limited run, and each one is $50. This money will go to shouldering the company through a few rough months while it gets over the collossal screwing which someone on the inside dealt out (including the theft of a lot of irreplacable originals.) Assuming he survives (and he will, if you guys crack out the wallets – he only needs to sell 5-6k posters to make it through this) he will be printing a list of all the people who helped in the back of one of the major books. And, for you gluttons out there, those prints are going to spike on value something fierce. That’s a collectible like you only see once every 20 years.
So, I got mine. It’s time for you to get yours. Kevin has been remarkably good to the RPG crowd, keeping margins very small. If he’d been a little greedier he could probably weather this attack on his own.
He’s given us heroes for fifteen years. It’s time for us to give him a few back. Fifty bucks isn’t that much.
And it was homebrew that pulled it off (see also,) based on the stack I made happen for the DS. PS: I love taking credit for other people’s work and money based on nothing more than being a highly successful loudmouth. Word to Big Bird. PPS: PSP: your time is now. Make your peace.
Yay. SgStair’s library is coming along. DHCP and TCP support, DNS, and various other goodness (including less crashing!)
