Regarding Season 1...

Upon careful deliberation between myself and Sindel (after reading the AWFUL original script), we have decided to condense the small portion of Season 1 that is actually relevant to the rest of the series into a 3-part fiction writing. Sindel will be re-writing what was originally episode 7 of Season 1, "Broken Mirrors" and I will be taking the last 2 episodes, "Prom Night" and "When Angels Deserve to Die".

The reason we're doing this is because much of the first season had nothing in common with the themes and style that the rest of the series has. Much of it was directed towards silliness and comedy, while the rest is mostly dramatic with some light humor fit in.

Regardless, Season 1 has to be postponed for now, but keep checking back for more info on the season as we come along.

Go Team Sea Slug,

EA Blows - An Excerpt from L-Canceled

(Excerpt from L-Canceled: Cena's Blog)

...I just want to address a growing trend in gaming - buying out the competition. Of course, everyone knows that Electronic Arts, the biggest fat-ass in the industry, is trying ever so hard to eat up Take-Two Interactive. (You'll notice a little rant on the side.)

Of course, everyone knows the reason why EA is doing this. They're scared. It's rather cute, if you think about it. They have nothing (except a few small franchises), so they gobble up the rest of the universe. This is the same company that ate Bioware/Pandemic after KotOR pwned everyone's Xbox back in the day... (ok, maybe that's not the real reason, but it helps.)

If EA succeeds, they'll gain Rockstar, which, as not many people know, developed a little-known gem called Grand Theft Auto IV, alongside Bully and other good franchises. Essentially, they'll take over the world. And if this trend continues, who's to say that companies like EA won't rule the world? I wouldn't be surprised if that. People know that the free market thrives on competitions, but if this trend continues, there may not be any competition left soon.

As if the economy can take another beating.

Cena's Character Blog, Critics, Mia, and more

Sindel seems to like surprising me at every turn, so she created the character blogs for Queen Sindel and Pikachu.

Well... I guess its just revenge for my secret project... That you're not supposed to know about yet. Either way, I'm jumped on said bandwagon and started King Cena's Blog, the official Blog of the King of NintendoLand.

Anyway, over the weekend, it seems that our very own Sindel officially became a "writer." How, you ask? By being the subject ot criticism from a blogger about one of her stories!

...I know, I questioned her sanity when she told me, too. :-P

Anyway, it seems a LiveJournal user by the name of Chaostheory first mentioned Sindy in a rant about the decline of "intelligent" fanficton in certain fandoms. While I do agree with a lot of what he says (such as the inverse proportion between blandness of fanfics and target age of its fandom), I do disagree on the point that a majority of fanfics are as such. Sure, there are a lot of stupid fics out there, but the best you can do is just accept that there are bland fanfics out there. I also disagree on subject matter. Fanfiction represents freedom to take a franchise to areas the original creator didn't think of or did not want to. Sindel's fic Drinks, while certainly interesting, is definately not the worst Fic in the world. She's allowed to write what she wants. On the other end of the spectrum, the guy has all the right in the world to not like the fic. More power to you, buddy - just don't be like Sindel's Pikachu and be an ass about it.

At any rate, I should go ahead and inform you that Season 1 of NintendoLand will become available within the next month - the episodes will need to go through an editing process so that we can have everything in line with future seasons; after all, we do have about 8 seasons worth of stuff already, with Season 9 in production as we speak. No plot holes must exist...though Season 7 will have a few. We'll address them in an F.A.Q. on the b-

...ok, almost spoiled the surprise. Musn't do that. ;D
