12/14/08 Well this was Unexpected
This is something I wasn't expecting. Since I added the new link to my site "People for Hire" a lot of people seem to have misunderstood the purpose of it. I made that to help the staff and actors at my site get more work, but it seems many think it's a way to go and work for me. Well honestly, I like this. If people would like to work on and in my projects, I am always happy to accept help. But also remember. If there are any projects you would like to use the MNE staff for then you are welcome to ask. After all, it's what I created that for to help my staff too. But still, you are all welcome to ask to join in anyway, I welcome more actors, artists and animators.
12/12/08 People for Hire now up Of course me and my actors, animators and other staff members will want to work on other projects if possible, so I have added a new page to let you send a message to ask if any of our actors or animators are available. To know who we have, check out the staff list and you can see the work on most of the CNASN Game/Toon Reviews/Adventures videos and they will be listed in the credits of the episode for what work they did. So for any of us you would like to hire for a project, just go to the new page and send an email.
12/5/08 Spax's Top Ten My old Top Ten video from my old days on YouTube is now on this site, Spax's Top Ten Best Sonic Games.
Please be aware that this is no longer the version used as a ScrewAttack G1 as a fan made ScrewAttack Top Ten, this is now my own Top Ten so most of the ScrewAttack stuff has been removed, I need it this way so I can make my own versions. 11/22/08 Wall-E Movie Review Now on Site A movie review I made a while ago which is part of a spin-off of CNASN Game/Toon Reviews/Adventures is now on the site. The review is of the Disney/Pixar film Wall-e. Enjoy!
11/9/08 Voice Actor Interviews Now on the Site I'm adding some new things to the site, interviews with voice actors. The first one done was with Mike Pollock who most everyone knows as the current voice actor for Dr. Eggman in the Sonic the Hedgehog games.
There may be some stuttering in the video, but was the first time an interview was done so please excuse that. I am working on trying to get interviews with other actors and I hope there will be more good ones and that more people can get to know them well. I hope all of you will enjoy these. 10/5/08 E for All: Final Day I am back at home now and watching new Family Guy and American Dad on TiVo (I got home late so I rewound the channel to watch the episodes). But I had a good last day at E for All. I watch the finalists for the Guitar Hero World Tour and the best was saved for last and they were the winners with perfect 10s on both songs they performed and I would agree with the judges. I went up and recorded them posing and asked them how it felt to win and they were very pleased. Then I went back to the Mad Gear booth and got a few more import games. I got some good ones I feel, A special edition (at the time with Bonus Disc) of Twinkle Star Sprites for the Saturn, Clockwork Knight, and a few other games for the Saturn and I also got the original Super Famicom version of Super Metroid which also has English settings as well so I can play it and understand everything. For the rest of the day I just sat at the retro gaming area and watch a girl I was competing against yesterday play SMB3 on Super Mario All-Stars (and it's annoying that it was not there the day before). All in all, this was a great weekend and I hope I can go back to E for All next year and maybe soon, also get invited to E3.
10/4/08 E for All: Day 2 Today had some ups and downs. But I can say for the booth hosted by Mad Gear http://mad-gear.com/ I got more awesome imports. Here's a list of what I got: Transformers (Japanese PS2) Twinkle Star Sprites (Dreamcast) Snatcher (Sega Saturn) Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon: Another Story (Super Famicom) Guardian Heroes (JAPANESE Sega Saturn) Legend of Zelda (The ORIGINAL Famicom Version COMPLETE) Donkey Konga 3 (JAPANESE Gamecube) Lunar (Sega Saturn) Lunar 2 (Sega Saturn) and possibly a few more I may be forgetting. And I also got a game console many who saw at Mad Gear BADLY wanted but I beat them to it. The FREAKING NEO GEO! Yes, a Neo Geo is now in my family of consoles. The games I got for it are japanese versions of Samurai Shodown II and King of Fighters 94 I believe. I heard many people were pissed that I got the Neo Geo first, but first come first serve sorry to say. I'm spending more money then I probably should, after all some of this pays to help me survive, but checking my account, I think I'll be okay. I played some Kung Fu Panda and watched a kid play Boom Blox and then I went to the retro area and played with a girl on the other end of the couch Super Mario World. At the end of the day, I went to see the contestants for the Guitar Hero World Tour tournament and some of the bands were really awesome while a couple just plain stunk. But the game looks and sounds REALLY cool, I plan on picking it up when I have the chance (granted that I will still be able to afford it). So far a good day and I hope my last day will be good as well.
10/3/08 E for All: Day 1 Well, today was my first day at E for All and there are two new games I wanted to play but didn't get to (people playing for a long time and long lines) which are FarCry 2 and Gears of War 2. To be honest I have never played the original Gears of War before but when I looked at Gears of War 2, it looked so cool that I decided to buy the original (there is a game store there and they also were selling WiiFit which annoys me that I had to get it for 20 bucks more online). There are other games I got to check out and play as well as other things I got to do. There were not a lot of new games, but there was still a lot of cool things around. Kymanaphy was interested in a StarCraft tournament and she spent most of the day playing Star Wars: Force Unleashed on the 360. Hopefully she and I will actually do more TOGETHER in the next day. There was also a store selling import games and I bought a hell of a lot (I couldn't pass it up so I wasted a lot of cash but dammit, it was worth it). The games I bought were Rockman X3, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S - Jougai Rantou!? Shuyaku Soudatsusen, RockBoard, Mother, Transformers: Convoy No Nazo, NiGHTS into Dreams... for the PS2, and for promoting my business and site, I was the ONLY one allowed to buy something that was only for display, the FC Mobile which lets me play NES games on the go and in return for the guys there letting me buy it, I will review the console in return to promote it's good features for them (though I have to say any negatives I find as well). The last thing I did during the day there was hang around the free classic arcade and there was also a Super Nintendo and three games, however the TV was in poor quality and the controllers had problems. The only game working properly was Super Mario World so I played that on 2 Player with someone else and it was a fun and relaxing day to end the day. I hope tomorrow will have more fun stuff to include. 9/28/08 Going to E for All this Weekend This Thursday, I am off to Los Angeles, CA to attend E for All (which is the public version of E3 pretty much) so I will be checking out some new games before they are released and possibly a few new games I may not have known about and also a few other cool things. I will be taking some photos (as long as I am allowed) and recording video (again as long as I am allowed) so I can give my input on it all. Also I won't be alone, my friend Alex will be attending along with me for this event so in the special I hope to air on my website and the photos I will be taking, she will also be there as well. I hope you all look forward to what I have to report. I have to warn you all, As I will be without my DVD recorder, I will be unable to show the videos right away, you will have to wait another week for that, I can only post news and photos right away. I hope you will all be able to wait. 9/21/08 Forum & Site Successful Beginning I have promoted my site and it's doing well and the main attraction here is the forum. The original one l had here hosted by this site was really crappy really, so I closed it XP. I made another one on Forumotion.net as has way better service for running forums. It has allowed me to hire the other mods and admins I wanted (PPG-Katelyn, Wizwar100 and DoctorEggmanNega) and also allowed me to put in a chat box. So now things are going well and getting better. I hope you are all enjoying this site so far. :) 9/19/08 Site Launch Welcome to my new website: Spax's Game Toon Zone where....well the description above speaks for it's self XP. Some of you know a few of the reasons I started this site, and if you don't, then don't worry about it XD. This being the launch of the site, I hope you all enjoy what it will have to bring. We're just starting now but hopefully soon this site will be flowing with many enjoyable things to do from fans and all the staff here.
