10/31/24 - Happy Halloween! This year it nearly passed me by, but I think I've gotten in just enough spooky fun that I don't feel like I've missed it altogether. I've eaten my weight in candy corn! I've played an unhealthy amount of Castlevania! I got these ice cube trays that make skull shaped ice cubes, which now rule over the freezer with a frosty grip! Oh, but speaking of Castlevania, click the logo image for a halloween treat, no tricks! That's my own remix!
10/19/24 - Four nights ago, I did manage to defeat Super Ghouls'n Ghosts again. I still stand by that game, despite that brutal road block right at the very end. As another follow-up to my previous update, my friend Pollyanoid says that The Gamers is one of the worst reviewed cartoons she's seen on Newgrounds. Really? It's siting at 3 stars! That's perfectly average! I put "a lot" of "hard" "work" into that cartoon, and I demand it be treated with respect!
10/14/24 - Have you seen my new cartoon on Newgrounds? If not, check out The Gamers now! In more October-y news, I've been trying to beat Super Ghouls'n Ghosts again. I'm not sure why; it's not like I have anything to prove by doing it a second time. It's mostly just because it's fun, up until round 2 with Nebiroth. Ugh. That part is the worst.
10/1/24 - Happy October! Sorry for no updates in nearly 2 whole months. I've been around. Did you hear that Gimmiko got a big demo update? There's a load of new stuff, plus all the old stuff, and it's still free, of course! There's more G-Zone, too, of course! Check it out here!
8/8/24 - Two new chapters of The Adventures of Kirby and Waddle Dee! Chapters 7 and 8 are in in the usual place! In other news, Izzy and I have decided that October is starting early this year. He and I are already starting to get spooky as we begin our Halloween celebrations. It's a ghoulish good time! If you're into the dark and macabre, why not check out (or revisit) my reviews of Super Ghouls'n Ghosts or Demon's Crest? They're Halloween classics!
7/23/24 - Another update for today, because I took advantage of my free time and finally updated the Kirby fanfic! Check out the new chapter here!
7/23/24 - Well, I lost my job. That's probably for the best, though, as it was driving me totally insane. It was so much work, and you had to do it all so fast. Hopefully I can find something a little more my speed before too long. At least the site got to celebrate its birthday for almost a whole week, just because I was too busy to ever change the graphics back.
7/17/24 - Happy birthday to the site! I wish I could have done something to celebrate this year, but this new job is taking up all of my time and then some. It's definitely not ideal as far as my sanity goes. When I get home, I'll put up the anniversary decorations and leave them up through tomorrow. It's the least I can do for not realizing it's the site's anniversary until about an hour into an 11 hour work day. Oops! Why isn't this in my calendar?!
6/30/24 - Today was fun! Caught up with some old friends who treated me to ice cream then came over to play Super Bomberman 2. Everyone likes Super Bomberman 2! Work is kind of taking a lot out of me already, but I'm sure it'll get better as time goes on. Here's hoping, at least!
6/14/24 - I've been busy! I just got a full-time job, and though I haven't actually started yet, I've been running around doing interviews, taking drug tests, etc. to prepare. Don't worry thoigh, the site isn't dead, and I'll hopefully come up with some more adventures for Kirby and Waddle Dee before long. Oh, also, I got some complaints about the enlarged site design not working properly. Just zoom to 200% on desktop for now, and hopefully I can figure something else out.
5/16/24 - I switched over to Kirby Super Star sprites instead of Kirby's Dream Land 3 sprites for my story. I love the DL3 art style, but SS just has so many more characters and graphics, and the style makes it easier to edit the sprites to fit what I need. Of course, Gooey isn't in Super Star, so he's staying as-is.
5/14/24 - It's now been three years since I rescued my cat, Tango! To celebrate, I redid his gallery page using better compression on the photos and adding three more. It's been raining a lot recently, and I'm sure he's glad he can relax inside where it's warm and dry, instead of being stuck outside in a parking lot...
5/13/24 - Another update for today; I went ahead and pushed the 200% zoom update. Now, the site looks as it should on desktop, but the change isn't great for mobile viewing, though it's a little better in landscape orientation. At least, that's the case on my phone/browser combo. I'll see if I can figure out something that'll make everyone happy, but for now, just view the site in landscape when viewing on mobile.
5/13/24 - Yesterday was TruKuu's birthday, and the day before was his party. It was great! Any party featuring burgers and video games can't get much better. In site news, I added a landing page for my Kirby story and I've written two new chapters since I last posted about it. Click through and check 'em out! Comedy, drama and action await!
5/7/24 - Just added a new feature to the site... my own original story based on Kirby and friends! Check out the first two chapters of The Adventures of Kirby and Waddle Dee and expect at least semi-regular updates!
5/6/24 - Back from the convention, and a good time was had by all. I scratched a few games off my wanted list and had fun playing games and helping with the setup. Izzy got second palce in the Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo tournament, which he had never even played before that day. I think I got third for Crash Bash, but there were no medals for third place. What a rip!
5/2/24 - Getting ready for tomorrow's trip to Alabama for Game Jam South, where TruKuu is holding an event with lots of freeplay retro games and tournaments. I'll be there both days setting up and maybe even doing commentary on the tournaments! Oh, and of course my Virtual Boy will be in attendance!
4/30/24 - Just created a page for a game I've been making, called Dragoso. Not much to see there currently besides a logo and a premise, but please feel free to check it out, and of course I'll update as warranted! I've also been thinking about resizing some things on the site. The current look was made with smaller resolutions in mind, but since I'm always zoomed in to 200% when browsing it on desktop, perhaps I'll just make everything twice as big, instead! Feel free to let me know your thoughts on this.
4/27/24 - Been so busy lately. Gonna have a few days to relax after tomorrow, so that's nice at least. Just gotta make it through tonight and tomorrow. Phew...
4/17/24 - My Virtual Boy page has been updated with the latest, um, updates. Check it out here. I'm kinda shocked that we're almost halfway into this year already. I could swear we just straight up skipped a month or two.
4/15/24 - Shortly after making the last post, and right before the party, I broke my phone. The places around town want WAY too much to repair it, so I guess a G-Zone's gotta do what a G-Zone's gotta do, and what I gotta do is repair it myself. A Virtual Boy and a smartphone can't be too different... right? Oh, and of course, happy birthday to my wonderful, amazing Izzy! I love you!
4/14/24 - The part didn't come in yesterday, unfortunately. I think I was watching the tracking too closely and it got nervous. Anyways, I need to go make cookies for Izzy's party!
4/12/24 - The last piece of my Virtual Boy refurbishment should be arriving tomorrow. After some time with it, I'll update the page linked in the last post with info about it as well as the other stuff I've done to the system since then. The next day after that is Izzy's birthday party! Of course I'll be bringing the Virtual Boy—the ultimate party machine.
4/7/24 - New article is live! It's about my adventures in fixing up a Virtual Boy. It's a little tough to find advice on fixing some of the less common problems with these things, so maybe this article could even help somebody out. Check out out here!
4/1/24 - Happy April Fools Day! I like to give the site a little makeover for certain holidays, but I think this one is a little unique, don't you? I actually had this ready last year but I totally forgot about it. Oops! The site goes back to normal tomorrow, of course!
3/29/24 - Good news: I didn't die on the trip! I've been meaning to write an article about it but haven't started on that yet. The site hasn't gotten much love lately, and I apologize for that. This isn't the end for The G-Zone, though! In fact, I've been tinkering with my Virtual Boy lately. Perhaps you'll hear more about that down the line...
3/11/24 - My birthday celebrations were great, and I'm just two days away from my biggest gift: a roadtrip to the Georgia Aquarium, courtesy of Izzy! We have other stops planned but that's kind of the main event. I can't wait!
2/26/24 - Birthday time again! Got plenty of sleep, plenty of birthday greetings and a nice jacket so far, and I'm off to the Chinese buffet with my best friends in an hour. Feeling good!
2/19/24 - Up bright and early this morning working on a little RPG Maker game I've been playing around with. You'll get more info once it's far enough along! Oh, and I Finally took down the Valentine's Day stuff, which had an incorrect asset the whole time. Oops. It'll be right next year!
2/14/24 - Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you get to spend some quality time with a loved one today. I think I'll be having a relaxed night in, myself.
2/11/24 - Hoping I don't overdose on chocolate with Valentine's Day and my birthday coming up this month... At least there are worse things to overdose on. I've been making an awesome stream border to match the site, which means I need to get back to streaming. I also need to get back to work... Money is running a little low.
1/26/24 - A few updates: TruKuu's shindig went well, and I may write an article about it soon. Also, I was asked to provide a setup for a seperate shindig just last night. I brought a Nintendo 64 which didn't get much use, but it still looked good!
1/16/24 - Still snowed in, and maybe until the end of the week. That's no good since TruKuu has a game tournament to set up and host which I'm supposed to be helping with. On the other hand, being stuck indoors meant I had plenty of time to finish my review of Mega Man & Bass for SNES, so go check that out! Also shoutout to my friend Pollyanoid who wanted a shoutout. There it is!
1/11/24 - Well, I see it and I believe it. It's snowing like crazy, and it's been coming down since yesterday, though I think it was mostly sleet then. Since I'm stuck inside, I'm working on that review. I also have an article cooking, so you have two pages to look forward to.
1/15/24 - First update of 2024 is coming super late, and I apologize for that. I've been pretty busy, pretty stressed, pretty a lot of things. I'm thinking of doing another review soon, so be on the lookout for it, potentially by the end of the month, but we'll see how busy I end up. In other news, it's supposed to snow this coming Monday. I'll believe it when I see it!
