Reference

I can’t believe they are doing this!  The Intruder event that Toonami did years ago was a great event; and now they are doing it again.  In case you don’t know, Toonami used to do these events called Total Immersion Event.  It would span across a week during the broadcast and you had a sort of participation in it.  For example, the first TIE was The Intruder.  This event had a major thing take place where the Absolution (a spaceship) was damaged and we, the viewers, were to go online and select a replacement part for it.  The one with the most votes would be the new and permanent replacement.  If you picked the winning piece, you were placed into a drawing to win a trip to Japan.  At least that is what I remembered what the contest was about.  Anyways, The Intruder event was my most favorite one.

To see a video of the original event all squished together into one convenient video file, follow the following instructions.

Construction complete

Well, I’m pretty much finished designing the site the way I want it to look like.  Learning the ins and outs of this cms was pretty neat.  It also refreshed my knowledge of web design that I took back in college.  There may be a few tweaks you’ll see in the coming weeks, but it’s basically done.

I also have a confession to make.  The design of this site was pretty much stolen from another website (gasp).  However, the webmaster for that other site likes to redesign his site a lot.  So since my site is two or three designs behind his current one, I’m considering it abandoned and up for grabs.  Thus, I’ve taken it for myself.

Below is a screenshot of what the website looked like when it launched with the default template.

Below is a screenshot of the placeholder for the website before I got the cms setup.

Panic?

Earlier today on twitter, I noticed people were saying that the links for 1up.com podcasts were dead.  Meaning, they might be slowly shutting the site down.  I’m guessing this really shouldn’t be a big surprise since we are coming up to the one year anniversary since 1up’s status switched to defunct.

Well, incase a permanent shutdown is eminent, I’m going to rush and get as much content as I can while the gettin’s good.  Specifically, I want to get the cover stories.  Man, some of those are fantastics reads!

Lynqus

This site now has an exit.  A few exits to be precise.  Click here to view the new and shiny links page.

Under construction II

At a snail’s pace, this site is starting to look like the way I want it to.  Color wise, at least.  I have some temp images in place just to get rid of some of the default template stuff.  I also need to remove some of the other default fillers, like that block to the right that keeps telling everyone that there’s no about page.

Under construction

Right now, this website is using the default theme from my blog’s cms.  Things will be changing over the next few days as until it gets to the point where I can say, it’s ok.  Let’s see how far I can break take it.
