Side-Side-Project

Me and a friend of mine are now making a pretty cool action RPG game. We started at 11:00 last night and we already have a lot done. Its cool because you can pick one of 3 types of magic to learn or learn a little of 2 or 3 of them. You can wield FIRE, Blast WATER, or take down enemies as a REMEDIST. We already have simple enemy AI done, the leveling system, the movement, the spell casting, and more done.
I'm pretty excited about it because I have always wanted to make an Action RPG, I just never got around to it.

Wow, I'm A Sucker For Those Furry Faces

Its true, Pokemon Diamond & Pearl are only a month away, both coming out April 22. Today, I watched a gameplay video and you just can't help but get that small craving for some Pokemon.
So I figured I'll finally get around to finishing Fire Red Version, which I bought a while ago thinking it was a new pokemon game, not a remake. But, little did I know, it really isn't such a remake, but more of a combination between The Silver & Gold Versions and the Red & Blue versions, plus some new content. I guess I never got far enough to find out!
But anyway, the reason I'm playing it is because a feature in the new games will be somehow integrating your Gameboy Advance Pokemon games into Diamond & Pearl. So maybe I'll just start the game and already own 200 pokemon! who knows?
As for new features are concerned, they are adding online play. Yes, you can now battle & trade your pokemon online! Also, you can use the microphone on the DS to talk to your friends! Who needs XBOX Live?(pardon my horrible joke.)
So look for the new and improved POKEMON: DIAMOND & PEARL coming to a Gamestop near you.
