I actually got quite a bit done, but don't expect this every week. I guess I just didn't get much homework. Actually, the real story is that I only did one of the new updates. They were almost all submissions and "borrows". I got some awesome ramblings by Gamme, and a bunch more reviews by Laugh4. Two huge surprises this month, I updated the bio page (Laugh4 is up now) and I did a review (!!!). I also added and fixed a few things in my links and awards departments.

     One thing worth mentioning, I beat Disney Adventures in the Magic Kingdom. Boy oh boy I love that game. I really suggest you buy it. I payed 5 bucks for it. I have only payed 5 bucks for three games... Final Fantasy, Rygar, and DAMK. Oh sorry, I started rambling. The CWOT might be late this comming month, because I am getting too tired to get Cal to write them, and the game of the month might be a bit delayed as well, for the same reason of me being tired.

     Laugh4 added a bunch more reviews and a rambling, Mikrowerk added GG codes for Rygar and RC Pro Am and I added some for Rygar myself. I updated my links section and my awards section, and added some more rejected site names. I put up a rambling by Dief (don't worry, I got his permission). Changed my gamelist a bit, and just cleaned it up a bit. The updates will get better when I get mroe accustomed to school. Thanks.

     Before I get into everything that I did with my site, I just wanted to tell you that I generally cleaned up, fixed all of my broken links, and all of the pages with no backround picture, etc. I did this because I am hoping to get accepted to be hosted on Retrogaming Web Hosting. This would be a huge relief, mainly because I can't upload MIDIs or jpgs on Geocities, partly to get rid of those damn annoying popup windows. Cross your fingers.

     I updated my game list a bit. I got a bunch of cool new controllers (one of them I am probably trading) and about 6 games. I owe Zimo 7 bucks, though. Oh well. I added, dropped, changed and basically fixed up my links section. Check it out! I also added on a really cool rejected site name. Definatly visit. I added a rambling, as did Laugh4. The reviews section is where I shine this week, all because of Laugh4. Like I said erlier, he submitted FOUR!!! That's more than I could do in a month!

     Had a great week, but alas, summer ends and school starts 8 days from now. I guess it's back to the simple "added a link" updates for me. Don't worry, though. The weekends will provide beef. Thanks for viewing, and don't forget to mail in anything!

     I got my thousandth hit! Yes. I got it sometime between the 5th and the 7th, because I don't visit my site much (shutup Cal). I also got an award! Ha ha ha!!! Whew! I am stoked! I really believe, though, with a little hard work, and a little bit of sleep deprivation from being on from 6:00 AM to 3:00 AM working on your site every day, anybody can get an award. Thanks Big Stu!

     Geeze, I did such an awful lot of stuff, and I'm so disorganized, that I have forgotten all of it. Lemme see, I fixed my review section (it was a little buggy), I fixed my links section, added on some new rejected site names (I have a full notebook full of 'em). I changed the webring thing at the bottom because it was getting on my nerves, and plopped a big old Big Stu banner up (boy, am I excited about this award or what). I also did... Other things. I didn't do too much this week, mainly because finals, and also because I have been partying to celebrate the end of summer school. I get a whole 11 days before real school. Lucky me.

     Well, my advice to everyone is, work hard, play easy. Good day.

     I updated the miscellaneous section, meaning I changed the Game of the month, moved my trip summary, and am in the process of adding in a new section, rejected site names (view the preview here). I also updated the codes section a lot, even though I didn't record it. I have updates my frames, added in a couple new sections (Cal's Words, My Stuff), and have changed the overall look just a bit. I also got music, yes! It was hard, but I managed. I updated my links section quite a bit and changed the numerical ratins from 1-10 to 1-5.

     I have also made the decision to only record my updates once a week for many reasons: One is that the updates section was huge, and was sort of getting in the way. Two, was that I will be able to organize my thoughts better, not be so rushed you know. And three, in case I forget to update for a bunch of days in a row, I will be able to cover for myself. So I will still be updating on a regular basis, I just won't record it every day. Good day!

JULY

• 7-26-99-Completely revamped Cal's Words O thought. There are sixty up all through the month so visit lots of times (shameless attempt to get more hits). I have actually been updating this page more than any of my other ones, except cheats. I have reached a point in my NES webpaging career (1 month, c'mon) and I have realized, my review really suck. From now on, none of my reviews will be under four pages (on paper) so cut me some slack if I'm a bit late (like today). Well, hasta la vista for now, okay?
• 7-25-99-Added some codes and changed the CWOT logo twice. Prepping for the big update (I think I am making it out to be way bigger than it is).
• 7-24-99-Well, I made a new logo, updated my codes, bio, links (slightly) and my related media. I added on four new midi packs, and I put all of my new logos into my logo .zip. I am preparing for the big ole update, like I mentioned above, and working on a logo for Cal's Words o' Thought.
• 7-23-99-I'm baaack! Okay, I got a big heapin' helpin' of juicy new stuff. I put up my trip summary, which is quite funny, to some extent, then it just gets annoying. It is located in the misc. section. I put up a Mega Man review, put up a rambling, and started a brand new tradition. Cal's words of thought, which will be updated on a completely non-regular basis because, well, because it's Cal were talking about here. We will soon be putting up a logo for the thoughts, and putting up monthly collections. I also updated my codes section quite a bit. I love California.
• 7-17-99- Well, this is going to be the last update for about a week, I'm going to Vegas. I just got back from the swap meet and I'm happy to say that I bought 13 games, two controllers, a zapper (the red kind) and a Nintendo with only 36 bucks. I bought the NES, zapper, controllers, and three games (SMB1, 2, and 3) for my good buddy, Kyle (visit his page, Starchasers Realm of Fantasy) I completely fixed the Metroid review, and I updated my codes section a bit. On Friday, expect a big update (that's when I'm getting back). Well, I'll see you around.
• 7-16-99- To fully express the way I feel about changing the order of my updates, I am going to have to use a quote by Garth Algar (Dana Carvey). "Wayne, I feel weird". Coudn't have said it better myself. Well, I got up my bio section, changed my frames once again, cause I had to (to give access to my bio). I met a cool guy named Steve Estes, he has already written a review, and I just met him last night. So, keep on enjoying the site, please.
• 7-15-99- Well, Dief is giving me the pros and cons, and I'm happy to say, I have some cool pros. Also, starting next update, my updates will go from most frequent to least frequent, because what Dief says, gos (I'm not really that much of a follower). Also, expect major updates in the codes department. I'm going to the swap meet this weekend and hope to pick up Rygar, DWII, DWIV, FF1, and Battletoads. So, expect more Game Genie codes by Monday along with a Mega Man review.
• 7-14-99- I think I vaguely remember updating my backround pictures the other day, but it was too hot to record it. Today, I added some neat pics to the cheats section, and that's about it. I am going to put up walkthroughs on the cheats section tommorow, unless it is over 150° or something.
• 7-12-99- Well, changed the frames just a bit, and added a couple new links. Put up another review (as promised), Dragon Warrior 3, a classic within a classic. Oh yeah! I added in a new section! Codes, for you who love to spoil the game. It should be up tomorrow or tonight, because I'm going to the beach because it's HOT. Good day.
• 7-11-99- Tomorrow I am going to fix my frames, I promise. They just look horrible now. Oh well. So, I have to give my deepest thanx to The Old School Gamer for giving me TONS of FF1 game genie codes. Check them out. Well, I gotta go to bed, its like, midnight, and I have to go to school at 6 tomorrow. Oh geeze.
• 7-10-99- Lightened up the background a bit, fixed up the frame graphics a little, added the late review, sorry. I'll have the next one in on time (Monday). See ya.
• 7-9-99- I know I updated yesterday, but I guess I forgot to record it. I updated my frames big time! It was taking me a while. I wrote a review for T & C today, I'll put it up later. See ya.
• 7-7-99- Made brand new logos for the links section, hope you like them. I might add some more logos later, and a review is coming for T&C. Cool.
• 7-6-99- Updated links section, added a bunch of ROM sites plus the best ROM site in the world, Tobee's NES ROM page. Email me if you can find a better one. I'll be adding new logos tonight or tommorow. Also, added a few more Zelda game genie codes.
• 7-5-99- Well, Cal got back the other day, and low and behold, I have a bunch of new game genie codes up on the gg page. I have decided to add a new feature and put a screenshot of the coolest code on the page. So, they will be coming up slowly but surely, and I am making new logos too. Happy wishes. Okay, I was going to put the screenshots up, but I couldn't because none of my codes worked on my emulator, sorry.
• 7-4-99 (12:02 AM)- I just got up the related media section, it took me an hour!!! Now, you can download a bunch of mids, they are all zipped, so windows and Mac users can use them. Cool. Happy July 4th!
• 7-3-99- It is 9:27 AM and I just got my Rambling section up. I added another Mendel Palace GG Code. I should have all my sections up and running by the end of today.
• 7-2-99- Wow. I did a lot today. I got up ton's more links, I put up the misc. section, added game of the month, got pics for Mendel Palace and Monster Party (replacing those stupid logo's I had). What a day. All that and summer school.
• 7-1-99- Adding more meat to my site. should have rambling up and running by the end of the day. If you have some extra reviews lying around, go ahead and send 'em here. I'll be glad to take them off your hands.

• 6-30-99- Updating the minor stuff, fixing up the links in the frames a bit. It's coming along pretty darn good, eh?
• 6-29-99- Well, After 4 days of not being able to udate because of fortunecity, I have finally had enough with them and switched to Geocities. I updated a lot and and got frames and put up a new .mid file from the game rygar (one of the best games, in my opinion). Ta-Ta!
• 6-27-99- Fortune City was down when I was writing this, so I haven't been able to update. Adding frames, plus a better layout. FortuneCity was making me quite angry, because I haven't been able to update my site for a while.
• 6-25-99- Well, I came up with the idea to contribute to the NES society and make an NES site. It's going pretty well.
