Finally finished Dragon Quest IX, after way too many hours.  It wasnt as good as any final fantasy game Ive played, but it was pretty good.  Too much of a happy ending.  I hate overly happy endings.  At least the goddess didnt give me another fygg.  I half expected that to be the “congratulations, youve beaten the game, now run around for a long time” ending quest.

CRAP!!!!  I was typing this during the insanely long credits, and another fygg DID drop down.  AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Kane & Lynch was a bit underwhelming, definatly not as good as the first.  It was so underwhelming, in fact, that I forgot to post about it for 3 days!

The monitor in my cabinet broke, theres $20 and 8 hours of work down the drain…

Kane & Lynch is still downloading, thanks to my amazing connection

Kane & Lynch 2 is out today!!!  The first was almost good, so hopefully this one will be, its already downloading.

The forums have moved again to http://bytelife.org/zacaj/ , hopefully they wont move again.  Youll need to re-register.

Got a nasty bug fixed today in my modified emulator for my cabinet, should be trivial now (at least graphically)

Did I mention Kane & Lynch 2 is out today?

Project DUST looks AMAZING, at least from a tech standpoint

It appears I somehow deleted the /usr folder on my computer…

The forums are back up at zacaj.tk, and the old links (zacaj.com/forums,forums.zacaj.com,etc) now redirect to it, so go and reregister!

Ive decided to change my post formatting (each paragraph is its own topic) to have multiple small topics and status updates in a single daily post, however large post on one subject will still be separate.

Still working on an emulator interface for my arcade cabinet, it turns out black buttons dont show up well on black backgrounds, so I have to redesign everything.  Once thats fixed, the cabinet should be about done though, and Ill soon have a post about it.

My host found some illegal files on the site and suspended the site.  Ive got a new host now, but I will not be putting the forums back up, instead kevipapo will be using one of his computers as a server, so we wont have any of these problems.  It should be up soon, so Ill update this then.  Sadly, we dont seem to have backups of any parts of the site.  Feel free to discuss in the comments, since we dont have a forum right now

Ive spent the last two days changing the theme for the site, and then making it look better, including firing up my 3d modeler for the first time in months to make the new icon.  I think my knowledge of CSS has ad least quadrupeled just from changing all the colors around.  Everything looks fine now, so I can start working on a game again.

That leads to the big question: what game should I work on.  Ive got plenty of ideas for all kinds of different games, mostly separated only by the quantity and type of artwork that needs to go into them, so I guess its back to the drawing board, to wrestle with coloring polygons in 3d and building myself a vector image editing program, since there doesnt seem to be any good ones around.

… and back on, sortof.  Although my license ran out, I decided to try and upload them to the Rock App Store, for jailbroken iPhones.  Frik is up now, and Bloxz is being reviewed.  Hopefully once people are able to try the games before they buy them theyll be able to see how fun they are.  Also, Ive discounted both to $1
