Still have a few more things in the works, I'm almost done with the backlog.

Since I'm a little busy right now, I'm going to suspend the Caption Contest for at least a week. If I don't end the current one sometime today, I'll do it next weekend.

UPDATE: 05/03/08

I added another Special Password to the Kid Icarus Codes page, thanks to yet another site reader.

I also added some more stuff to the Breath of Fire Oddities page. Looks like we found where the cinema scene data is stored via the magic of the DrWarp.

I have some more stuff I'm working on. When I get through the rest of my email backlog, I'll post everything else.

Things I will NOT be posting to the site at this time:

Also added to the Links Page:

UPDATE: 04/27/08

I added some "Special Challenge Passwords" to the Kid Icarus Codes page, thanks to site reader Joshua Cain who broke the game's password system awhile ago.

UPDATE: 04/27/08

Here are some more minor updates to the site:

I fixed all the broken links in the Earthbound Insanity article and also added a minor note concerning the bathroom symbols.

Added a note to Breath of Fire Oddities clarifying that you can still use the DrWarp to enter Nanai even after it's destroyed. There's also now a code to take you directly inside the bar.

Wheeljack is now correctly listed as a "Lancia Stratos" on My Favorite Autbots page. Thanks to everyone who pointed out that error.

Added some more screenshot comparisons to The Krion Conquest vs. Mega Man article, sent in by a site reader.

UPDATE: 04/27/08

I was cleaning up old emails and in the process of going through them, I put together another Switched at Birth?. This one was put together completely from emails that were sent to me, so there's nothing from the forums in it. I expect I might even be able to throw another one together (yes, I'm that backlogged). I tried to stick with only the best entries that were sent. Rejected submissions include:

I also added two more entries to the bottom of the Arc the Lad SAB.

UPDATE: 04/25/08

I nuked my Links Page. WARNING: Long blog post to follow:

1. I no longer see the point in linking to websites that I'm not affiliated/friends with. Most of them are large sites that everyone already knows about. In cases when I need to link back to a site for reference, I do it on the actual page that contains the referenced material.

2. If I removed your site and you want me to put it back on there, feel free to contact me. HOWEVER, make sure your site meets the following conditions first:

On a side note, I've also done away with the "Golden Ridley Award of Excellence". Almost every time I give it out, either the site stops updating completely, the admin goes bonkers, or some other problem comes up. (I think the only exceptions so far are AlmightyGuru, CodieKitty, Random Hoo-Haas, and Sweetbee.) So, I'm beginning to think it's cursed. Only time will tell if I decide to bring it back again, and if you've already won it, feel free to keep displaying it, but just don't don't hold your breath waiting for it to be given out again.

UPDATE: 04/20/08

Caption Contest #13 has ended, but there is a new one now.

UPDATE: 04/19/08

Now to make my Non-Update for today:

Issue #1: I combined some more of the old "Who's Who" entries with the RAU Scrapbooks.

Issue #2: I made some more "Quick Access" tables on the Game Music Download pages. (I am not doing this for any page that only has one game listed on it.)

Issue #3: I'm working on fixing pages that have fixed backgrounds so that the backgrounds will stay in place for Firefox as well as Internet Explorer. These include pages in the Knights of Justice Shrine, Kid Icarus Shrine, Magic of Scheherazade Shrine, and Kirby's Dream Land 3 guide.

Issue #4: The Memory Card. Next month, I am going to initiate a clean-up of it. Sites that will be removed are ones that haven't updated in over a year and *cough* ones I'm banned from. One of the reasons I keep the Memory Card is to have quick access to sites I like to visit daily. The problem is that if you haven't updated within a year, chances are I've already seen everything your site has on it and if I'm banned from your site, then I think it's reasonable to assume you don't want me there.

So here's the deal if you want to stay on there: Either (1) update your damn site or (2) unban me and my friends from your board, then contact me to let me know you have. Doesn't mean we'll come back to your forums and I can guarantee you *I* won't, but at least I'll know everything's a-okay between us and we can just admire each other's work from a distance.

UPDATE: 04/16/08

I deeply apologize. I know that some of you are clamoring for me to get AT6 done, but I am having difficulty finding time to work on it. The sketch is written, but I haven't even begun any of the drawings for it yet. The problem is that every single time I have some free time to work on it, something comes up, and I'm just going to have to put my foot down and say, look, I planned to work on this tonight. I'm going to work on it.

Sometimes I think I should just say, "No updates guaranteed at this time", because even though I said I put the Equinox Shrine on hiatus, I have a few updates for it. (I felt bad about falling behind on AT6 and HAD to do something to make up for it, so...)

Equinoxfan82 has given me permission to embed his YouTube videos on my Equinox Shrine pages. Each part of the walkthrough that is completed now ends with one of his videos that demonstrates how to get all 12 tokens in each dungeon. As I continue to work on the walkthrough, I will add his other videos to those pages.

Equinoxfan82 has also sent me a bunch of high-quality Equinox scans that I will get posted to the site shortly.

UPDATE: 04/15/08

Despite the fact that I'm supposed to be on hiatus, I have several updates in store, and I forgot to end the Caption Contest, so I'll get around to that but probably won't start a new one until the weekend. I'm a little behind schedule on The RAU Gallery: AT6 sketch, but I'll try to get working harder on it now.

In the meantime, Christopher Paladin has written his own RAU sketch to help entertain you and keep you busy until AT6 is done. I don't have time to look it over right now, so I hope it's a good one.

UPDATE: 04/12/08

I forgot to update Q&A last night, so I did it this morning. Three more questions answered, and I dumped 141-160 into an archive.

I guess I should have made it more clear what I meant by saying I was putting the site on hiatus. I'll still run the Caption Contests and answer Q&A, but I won't be doing much else. There definitely won't be any updates to Game Music Downloads or the Equinox Shrine during this time.

UPDATE: 04/06/08

Caption Contest #12 has ended, but there is a new one now.

I've decided that I've had a long enough break from the RAU Gallery, so I'm going to focus my efforts on completing Part 6 of the Archaeology storyline. Therefore, I am putting this site on hiatus until it's done because I have a lot of work to do.

UPDATE: 04/05/08

I updated my scrapbook for Cory McRaven. I organized all of the pictures into sections based on concept art, old storyboards, and modern sketches. I also added some stuff that wasn't previously in there before, and I added her "Who's Who" information. Ideally, I'd like to eventually have all of the scrapbooks reorganized like that, but I have too many characters for it to happen right away.

The current Caption Contest ends tomorrow, so if you have a caption to submit, do it now!

UPDATE: 04/01/08

I never know whether I should update on April Fool's Day or not because I never know if people will think it's only a joke, but anyway...

I thought my Music Page for the Letter U looked a little bare, so I added music for U.N. Squadron, Uninvited, and Uniracers. I also completely cleaned up that page.
