Now on today's updates: First I added the enemies of the Lost World( wow getting close to the end, almost a YEAR later, don't ask me why the HECK it's taken this long to get this far in earthbound!, it must be the WORLD RECORD for the longest completion time for earthbound, just kidding) Anyway... I will be added pages 56 - 73 of the players guide over the next few days, I turned up the compression on the JPEGs it cut the file size in half! WOO HOO!! And there still readable! Again WOO HOO!!. I added the form to sign up for the newsletter, Its the sameone I used before, I still had the account, you know what's funny I found out two people actually signed up for it before I took it down weird?

Lastly I added part 7 of Giygas's revenge: Monster in the Rift to the fan fics section, I also added a bit more of the first chapter of mine. On wednesday Firesping(your sanctuary #8) enemies, the rest of the pages to the players guide if needed, otherwise Pages 74 - 85 will be added, of course the SOTM will be announced, and a new feature site will be chosen, and maybe if you lucky I'll find a chatroom that I will put up in the secret clubhouse.

I add the SOTM section, FAN ART section(including a place to submit flukes) and the NEWSLETTER section. Now before the updates I re-organized the side menu, now FANFICS, FANART and the CLUBHOUSE section are under FAN RELATED. I added the enemies for Lumine Hall and finished up the pages for the Online Players guide which is at a whopping 10megabites! I going to have to find a way to make the images readable but smaller in filesize, I'm going to experiment the weekend. Next I added part 6 of Giygas's Revenge: A Unlikely Friend, My Fan-fic will be uyp for sure to night because I'm going to use it for a school, as a english assignment. I added this weeks EBCRAN in it the EBC news for this week, in EBC community news, annoucing EB Smaaaash!! as SM.net SOTM, Site Review of Earthbound Extreme, and a Update of Starmen.net's EB64 Petition. I had to delete the older EBCRANs because of space reasons, from now on I will keep only one under previous EBCRANs this way you have almost a week to listen to a missed EBCRAN, you'll get it when I actually do it. Before I go here is the new update schedule Updates will happen on Monday/ Wednesday/and Friday, On Monday and Wednesday I'll add pages to the Online Players Guide, On Friday EBCRAN, and on Wednesday, a new Featured site will be chosen.

What's New On 06.07.2000
Welcome back to EBC, First I'll start off with site news, I added a Feature Site Program, Featured sites get there link stuck up where you see the Words: THIS WEEKS FEATURE SITE... as well as their site reviewed on EBCRAN... Anyway see the links section for more information of the Featured site program, Just Alittle boost for the people who submit there sites, or have a good site that is really worth a look. Also if you've read the links section you may have noticed that I am planning to have a SITE OF THE MONTH award, when this is done it will some what like Featured sites program except you get your link on the front page(with a Banner) for the whole month, you also get an award. Last thing before the updates I'm going to have to upgrade the site again, I mean I'm going to have to add some more link buttons to the side bar menu, I'm going to add a Newsletter button, Links to the Site of The Month section, and A section called Secret Club house it is a place where EB fans can hang out, in here the message board, a chat room if I can find a good one, and some other fan related things that I will add later. Now on to the Updates, first I screwed getting the Sword of Kings, here are the details in my QUEST for it I raised NESS up 20 levels from 50 - 80 and never even came close to getting that stupid sword, anyway I added the rest of the picture of the enemies to the stonehenge base. I also(over the next few days) will be adding Pages 38-55 of the Online players guide, also in the players guide I've added quick jump links to every page on the main page, I realized after testing the new pages I added that it's gonna take along time to get to page 128 from page 1 so that's why I added that. I added a new link and this weeks feature site to the Links section it is called EB extreme. Lastly I added part 5 of Giygas's Revenge: A New Edge On Evil, I hope to have mine up by friday or I not going to bother with it.

Welcome back to EBC, well where a finalist for SOTM on Starmen.net, thank to those who voted of me. Now on to the updates, I'm still trying to get the sword of kings(Grrrrr!). The enemies will have to wait for next update which could be tommorow(Tuesday) or Wednesday, so check back. Anyway I did add pages 26 - 37 to the Online Players guide, I'm still trying to decide if I should dress up this portion of the site because this already puts a strain on peoples modems(I've tested it on a 28.8/33.6 and a 56k modem). Anyway next I've added the Fan Topic portion to the Editorials section, this week it's: 'Pokey was easily influenced by Giygas why do think this was?'. I hope to get a lot of responses from you, but please remeber these must follow the editorial guide lines. Next I added part 4 of Giygas's Revenge: Evil is Not a Good Pet, I also fianlly updated mine, I just got a new fan fic to add to the fan fic section, it's called Earthbound, and I added the first 5 chapters from it. I still haven't got enough votes in the poll so be sure to vote now. Now for site news, here's some of the stuff I've go planned for the site: More reader interaction, this will start with the Fan Topic and expand with a !real! message board or just a slightly better one, more polls(as if the one I got has been succsessful), complete fan contribution sections(not quite sure about these ones yet) and of course CONTESTS!! for pride not prizes. Next more updates... just basically keeping current. I also plan to start up the Newsletter agian, I just hope that it will have more people sign up this time. That's about it I plan to add theses things over the next few weeks. Talk to you later, use the PRAY command and hope we win site of the month Bye-Bye BOING!!. That's What's New For Today...

I added pages 13 - 25 of the players guide, How is this working out?, send me your comments. Next I just went nuts and updated the EB64 section with every concivible preview that I could find out there on the web, who knows I may scan some previews from magazines. Next I update the fan-fics section with part 3 of the ongoing fan-fic Giygas's Revenge, this one is called 'The Darkness is Lifted'. I also will add mine soon, because I have find it in my mess of a room. I didn't change the poll cause only 3 people have voted, and I need at least 10 votes for it to be ligitament. Now for some exciting news: I plan to update at multiple times a week now, cause I really want to get this site moving agian, and you can look forward to EBCRAN on Fridays. Next update could be Saturday maybe Sunday, here is what to expect more enemies of course, pages 26 - 37 of the Online Players Guide, I also plan to dress up the Online players guide section a little more, My fan-fic should be up but if it's not it will be by this next update.

Welcome back to EBC, I finnaly got around to updating this week. First off I'd like to mention that we are nominated for Starmen.net's SOTM of June, so we'll just have to see who gets chosen, but if we don't get chosen it is just a great honor to be nominated. Next I added those enemies to the guide, Hopefully it will be finished soon. I also added a few more pages to the online version of the players guide, that would be pages 7-12, on friday I'll start on the travel guide portion of it. I added the second part of last weeks fanfic, I will have mine updated this friday. I'm going save EBCRAN for friday and it will be an extended verion including this update and Friday's as well as videogame news and EB comunity news, this time featuring a Site Review. That's it for this update, on friday here is what to expect: More enemies to the enemies guide and pages 13-25, updates to the EB64 section hopfully with some more previews, My fanfic the first chapter, a updated poll question, and EBCRAN. That's What's New For Today...

What's New On 05.21.2000
Welcome back to EBC, we turned 1 and we also got to 4000 hits this week. Things are realy looking up. Well now for the updates. I finished the enemies for Deep Darkness and added the enemies for the Stone Henge Base. Also in the eb section I added the beginings of the online players guide, this will be a online version of the actual players guide, although the part up is in the testing stages, some of the images are pretty big, and I'm testing them with this version. Next up I added some tid bits of info to the about EBC page, like reaching 4000 hits. Next I added a fan fic to the Fan Fics section(where else would I put it?) Called Giygas's Revenge, and keep sending the FF's in. I updated my EB64 editorial with the current status of EB64. I updated the poll with a new question this time: Do you think that EB64 will be released in North America?. Lastly EBCRAN, this weeks edition will be fairly short, but it will feature a small look back at some of the mile stones in the history of EBC, so the videogames news has been sacrificed, but I actually have a site review in EB community news as well as a update on the status of Starmen.net's Petition. Good bye for this week, next week I hope to get a few more fan submissions and I will have the first part of my fanfic up(OH NO it's happening again!!!), and have a real editoral to add. That's What's New For Today...

What's New On 05.13.2000
E3 has come and gone... But that really doesn't matter right now, but will alittle later in What's New. First the enemies guide, I didn't add the enemies from the dungeon man because there wasn't really as many enemies as I though as well they where all enemies that you've seen before and fairly weak. I will add the enemies for Deep Darkness. Next the most important news I've closed the EB64 petition, just because I think it would be more effective for you to sign Starmen.net's I have, there just wasn't quite the support for mine as I would have hoped. I'm posting a list of people who signed the petition, along with a thanks for your support message. And I'm asking anyone who wants EB64, especialy the people who signed my petition, sign SM.net's. I think a long with the almost 100 people who signed mine could really help SM.net make this work. Now of course you'll want to download EBCRAN this week, I finally got the back ground music to use. This week it features some of the Top stories from E3, there really wasn't that much secret stuff happening at E3 this year. And of course with Sm.nets petition there is some big EB community news. Hopefully I will have a site review for you next week, I just got to figure out a definitive ratings system. This week was a pretty big week, next week I hope to have some editorials, as well as most of my fan fic. Oh yeah, don't be afraid to send in some of your fan art, fan fics, editoirals, or other stuff, I don't reject anything. But don't send me huge files like movies or MP3's though. Also next week is our 1 year "Anniversary/Birthday" so talk to you next week. That's What's New For Today...

What's New On 05.06.2000
Well after a week off I'm back updating again. I just start on the updates, I added the enemies from the Dungeon Man. Next I added 4 more sigs to the EB64 petition, that means there is only three(3) left. I also added 4 sigs to the Gameboy Petition page. This weeks EBCRAN won't be like the old ones, I want to discuss the future of the download with you. It will still have the EBC news just no Videogame of EB community news this week. I want to expand this feature of EBC to great proportions. Before I go next week is the E3, so check back for breaking E3 news. Also next weeks EBCRAN will be almost completly dedicated to the E3. Talk to you next week:P That's What's New For Today...

What's New On 04.22.2000

I did EBCRAN for this week, featuring the good old news for EBC and That big news on EB64 that I posted the other day, I dicided no to do any Videogame new for this week, and I'm still working on the BG music.

Next up I added 5 new sigs to the EB64 petition page, also make sure you try and perticapate in Starmen.net's Siege NP, it will also help get Earthbound 64 out. No one has signed the GBC petition yet, be sure to do so. Lastly I changed the poll question to What do you think of the new site look? or somthing to that effect. I also added the first ever EBCRAN to the EBCRAN section, go to the section for details, on this weeks show EBC news a liitle bit of EB community news and a small report on no Dolphin or GBA at E3, next week I'll will have some background music on the report. I will be updating more, this week, last week was a very busy week in school so I couldn't even think of updating the site. That's What's New For Today...

What's New On 04.01.2000
Welcome back... Today is a big day for EBC, People it's here!!, the Preview of EBC2k, 'cept its still called Earthbound Central, I decided not to take on the EBC2k name, which was and still is the code name for the project, it's nearing completion and this is exactly what the site will look like when it's done, agian the projected release date is still mid April, but if I work my A$$ off I might get it done next week. Even with all that excitment(Did anyone wet their pants??) I did actually update the current site, here's the lowdown... I added Kracken to the enemies guide as well as the enemies from Scaraba, those should be up later, after I play the game, I'd say around 2:30pm PST(5:30pm EST... Do you want me to keep going with the time Zones?... Didn't think so!). Ahem... Anyway Also updated is the Downloads section, I added those other resolutions for that wallpaper that I uploaded last week. That's about it for today's updates, but before I sign off for today, I want to tell you about the Mind-it button, just put e-mail address in the box and click it, fill out some info, and then everytime I update Net-Mind sends you a e-mail telling you that somthing on the page has changed, pretty much meaning an update, so try it out. That's What's New For Today...

What's New On 03.25.2000
Hi welcome back, so much for updated every day this week, I told you it would be a large feat. Anyway I didn't get to use the computer because my brother was using it to play games. I finally got my chance so I took it. Here we go. First I updated the Enemies guide for your sanctuary 6, the Pink Cloud, were getting close to the end now. Next I update the EB64 section with the latest news on EB64. I didn't get any petition sigs, I think I may just lower the petition goal to 100 instead of 500 because I don't get that many hits. Next I added a new wallpaper to the downloads section, it's only avalable in 1024x768 right now but next update I hope to have the other sizes as well. Next I updated my thoughts on EB64 editorial, with my thoughts on when EB64 is coming, and some of the new stuff about the game that I've learned. Last I updated the links section with the review of Earthbound Z. Before I go I'm gonna talk a bit about the site revision, codename: EBC2k, well it's coming along nicely, and next update I'm going to put up a preview of the new front page. And I hope to have it fully completed by the middle of april. That's What's New For Today...

What's New On 03.19.2000
Well here is the full update that I promised. Anyway I'll start with some site news. I've been fooling around with Real Audio, and I'm planning to have a Real Audio News type download. It would include EBC news, EB community news(News on new EB sites, news from other EB sites and EB game news) and lastly some videogame industry news. But I think that I'll wait to realse this with the site revision that I sould be done soon. Now on to the updates. I updated the petition page with a small amount of sigs, 4 to be exact. I said that I was going to have a Mother on GBC petition, but I forgot all about it, so I'll include it with EBC2k(the site revision). Since it's spring break I'm going to TRY to update everyday this week, If I can pull this off it would a pretty large feat. Talk to you tomorrow. That's What's New For Today...

Hello. Well I'm back, and hopefully I'll update more often now. I've been busy with school, and now that we've got cable internet, the whole family wants to use the computer, so I guess I will have to wait my turn. Anyway, In the 2 weeks that I haven't updated I've recived 11 new sigs for the EB64 petition. I added a new link by request, so if you have a EB site I'll add it to the links page. Lastly I'd like to talk about EBC v2. The site redesign is coming along nicely, but since I couldn't use the computer as much as I would have liked, so I didn't get much done, but it is coming, I may put up a preview of the main page up next update. So check back. That's What's New For Today...

What's New On 02.02.2000
Welcome back to EBC for this weeks first set of updates. I'm Planning the site revision for somtime next week, so you can look forward to that. Also I plan to have atleased 3 updates a week. Before I start I would like to mention that all the old What's News have been put in to an archive underneath this update, I will make this more regular so that What's New will not take as long to load, Monthly Archives. Now on to the updates, first the Ultimate Enemies guide is updated for Your Sanctuary #4 and Summers. Also in today's updates is a editorial that I was inspired to write while eating some Rice Crispies, there was a ad for Free-in-the-box pokémon tip cards on the front, so that go me to thinking what if that wasn't pokémon on the box, but Earthbound, and everything pokémon was now earthbound stuff, Read the editorial if you want all my ideas. Lastly the EB64 Petition got 2 more sigs for this update. The next update will be either tomorow or Friday. That's What's New For Today...
