Happy Birthday David Garibaldi
Two weeks ago, the Wii game Disney Epic Mickey was released. Despite what critics say, I personally think it's a great game. I have a few videos remaining from E3 which were not uploaded due to some data corruption issues which sadly were not solved. so I had to work around that with what remains I have. I hope this helps anyone who likes the game celebrate it.
In other news but also involving these videos. Today is performance artist David Garibaldi's birthday who was the painter in these new videos uploaded (you can find them in E3: Day 3). If anyone is a fan of his work, I hope that gives you more reason to enjoy these videos.

A Preview of SonicFan39's Offerings
SonicFan39's has arrived on The Game Toon Zone and is offering his fan dub of Yu-Gi-Oh and Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's.
Just keep in mind, these are non-profit dubs. If you like the show you see, then please also support the original product as well.

Adjustments have been made
This is going to be pretty quick, but it turns out Larry didn't remove the TGTZ version of his Games That Yanks Can't Wank video, I was just looking in the wrong place for it, stupid me. Oh well, it's been fixed, but I have to warn everyone that this is the same version that is nearly half a gigabyte large so I recommend you take some time to let it load.

Guru Larry Dominates the Site
More of Guru Larry's Retro Corner has now arrived on the site to anyone who's a fan of that series. Another show that has just premiered on this site is Larry's popular series, Games That Yanks Can't Wank. The version that is currently on display on the site is currently the Channel Awesome version since the version that was to be for this site was nearly half a gigabyte large and would have taken too much time to load. I'm helping Larry with this problem and will give him the more site friendly file size version of the TGTZ version of the video as soon as I can.
For some final news, a new voice actor interview will be coming soon as will 3 final E3 videos which were delayed due to data corruption, but I'll upload them to celebrate the release of Disney Epic Mickey since all 3 videos related to that game. After all that, CNASN Game Reviews and Ask Spax will resume production to those who have been bugging me about them, and we will also include the premiere of our new satire show, That's Our Nima.

E3 & Macks Updates
We got a few new videos for all of you. First, Spax has uploaded all the last Hands On videos for E3 (save for Ken's vid on Super Scribblenauts), and that's nearly all the E3 vids. There are a few left, but due to data corruption that we experienced a while ago, this was a reason why many of the E3 videos were not uploaded sooner. Remain videos to come are me and Kyo chatting about our E3 experiences, a presentation by Warren Spector, a painting trilogy by David Garibaldi (it would be 4 parts, but the footage with the 4th painting is irrecoverable), and an interview/discussion on Disney Epic Mickey. You can find the new Hands On in E3 2010: Day 3
Finally, Macks has finally made another episode of A Look Back, and this one is about the Sega Master System. This episode was made thanks to me buying the console for him online and he is most unpleased with the condition it came in (as am I). This review didn't really show any games like the previous episodes, but it's still interesting to hear what Macks has to say. Check it out in Macks: Macks Looks Back.

New URL
This is just a small update, but the spaxgametoonzone.com URL is no more here. The entire domain is now thegametoonzone.com, and this change as been made so to really make this site less about just me, and more about the others like *****, Mike Maverick, Wizwar100, Kyoslicer and the rest as well. That's pretty much it, so to anyone who has this site bookmarked, you may want to update the links.
9/6/10
Turnabout Insanity
From Mike Maverick, I have two updates for all of you. The first is that we have a new video where I mailed Mike a "special" gift like I did *****, and you can find this by clicking on Mike Maverick and looking in Turnabout Extras. The second update is that Mike's own website, Turnabout Entertainment, is now located in the Links & Affiliates.
There's also a new video on Nintendo's history in the Fan Submissions, so feel free to check that out. More news coming soon.
8/28/10
Just a Quick Update
We have a new affiliate! Introducing Rejected Gamers, which is a personal YouTube of Wizwar100 and his friends. Click on "Links & Affiliates" to find them.
For one more update, I'm in the works of planning some new interviews with voice actors for the site, and if you are into Super Sentai (if you know what that is), then I'm sure you will love what's coming up.

More E3
For updates from me, I have some new hands on videos completed from my time at E3 with Kyoslicer. You can see them in Day 2 and Day 3. Also, one other update from me is an interview I conducted back in 2006 is now available for all to see on this site. It was with Sarah Wulfeck, who was the voice of Cream the Rabbit in the Sonic series from Sonic Heroes to Sonic Advance 3.
8/14/10
Sonic 4 and Kate Higgins
I have a ton of updates right now. First off, on Day 3 of E3, we have a new interview on the upcoming game, Sonic 4, and I promise you that it's pretty well detailed with some questions that fans have been curious about (unlike other interviews I've seen). So hopefully, this will satisfy some people who are wondering about a few nitpicky and random things for this upcoming release.
Finally, Kate Higgins, who most people know as the voice of Sakura Haruno from Naruto, and also the new voice of Tails in the Sonic games allowed me a chance to ask her some questions. Unlike my previous interviews, this one is not done via voice, just text as Kate was busy with her work and family. Either way, I'm happy that she made a bit of open time to allow me to ask her some questions. You can find my chat with her if you click on "Interviews". Enjoy

Video on The New Sonic and Tails Voices
On a personal level, due to me being known as a huge Sonic fanatic, I had people asking for my thoughts on Jason Griffith and Amy Palant being replaced as the voices of Sonic and Tails by Roger Craig Smith and Kate Higgins. Well, this video should give you some answers. For those who are wondering what they may sound like, by using clips from their animation demos, I put together an idea of how it may turn out.
To find this video, click on Spax, then on Other Videos. Enjoy

More E3, More Wizwar, More Mistakes
Someone a couple of days ago told me that there was a problem with the text on the front page of the site. I didn't notice it with the web browser I primarily use to edit this site, but I recently noticed it with my other web browser. Due to this, I have made the effort to fix this error, and hopefully, I can prevent it from happening again.
As for video updates, I finally finished editing four interviews I held during E3 which were on NBA Jam, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Sonic Colors, and a special chat with ScrewAttack.com's Stuttering Craig. Wizwar has also provided a new video, a new Frusteramated (or Failed in this one) Angry Gamer Parody which is more him making mistakes then playing the game. Wiz said that he thought it was good on paper but it was not good on video so he's not really happy with this newest video of his, but I'll let all of you be the judge of his outcome on it.
I hope everyone enjoys the new updates, and there are more coming soon. I also apologize for saying "daily E3 updates" before as I was not able to up myself up to that, so they will not be daily and I can not confirm times right now. But I do promise everyone, there are many more E3 videos to come including an interview on Sonic 4, a painting experience with David Garibaldi, and interview on Disney Epic Mickey, and much more.

One Angry Gamer
One of the videos that I know many of you have been waiting for me to upload, the interview with James Rolfe, The Angry Video Game Nerd is now up in the Day 1 section of the E3 2010 videos.
I hope you will enjoy it.

The First E3 Videos
After about over a week of preparing, the first of the E3 videos are finally now up on this site. Day 0 is a documentary of me and Kyo getting ready, along with meeting up with AG. Day 1 currently has 4 hands on demonstrations of new games which are Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Sonic Colors DS, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and NBA Jam.
There are many more E3 videos to come, including interviews with came producers, James Rolfe, Stuttering Craig, David Garibaldi, and more. There will also be new videos from Mike Maverick once all the E3 footage is dealt with by me and Kyoslicer. Keep an eye out for daily updates from this point on.

Ask Macks, BigAl, CNASN Games Reviews Remixed, and more.
I have multiple updates for all of you. The first update being that we have a new episode of Ask Macks, which you can view by clicking on "Macks" and then clicking on Ask Macks. The second update is that we have 2 new videos from BigAl, the first being in his Quickies, and the second being in his Reviews. The third update is that the Sonic 1 Megamix episode of CNASN Game Reviews in the Season 2 files has been remixed, but not extended (it's actually a bit shorter then the previous two remixed reviews ended up being), however, the dialogue and performance has been greatly improved upon. I hope you will all enjoy these new video entries.
The forth update is one that I am sure most of you have noticed by now. The site's menu layout has had a drastic change. The Affiliate Productions has been dropped in favor of giving everyone their own personalized pages as official site members. I am not making my stuff the main attraction of this site anymore, everyone's stuff is now a main attraction. Let's also not forget the updated banner which shows not just me, but other site members now as well such as Mike Maverick, Kyoslicer, and Wizwar (in his Positivo persona). This update was made as I wanted to create more unity for everyone here. This site is not a solo effort by me as it was when I launched it, The Game Toon Zone is now a community effort by all of us.
The fifth and final update involves the events of next week. Next week, me and Kyoslicer will be meeting up for the attendance of E3. We will be interviewing developers and representatives, playing Hands-on-Demos of games and giving our initial opinions, meeting up with some interesting people, covering both Nintendo and Sony's press-conferences and giving our opinions on what they presented, and we are also teaming up with AGentertainment.tv's Anthony to add more to the coverage. And that's not all, E3 edition episodes will be made of Ask Spax which Kyoslicer will also co-host in for us to give you even more thoughts and details on E3. These episodes are going to be intended to be made within a night, but I can't promise that at this time, so ask your questions, and be on the look out, you may even ask questions on the E3 days and we will choose which ones we feel are the best to answer for all of you.
See you all next week.

Interview with Gregg Berger
This would have been uploaded yesterday, but I got distracted by other projects and real life situations offline.
Anyway, today, we have a new interview with veteran voice actor, Gregg Berger. This was by far, one of the friendliest interviews I have been in, Gregg Berger was at every moment, pleasant to be around and listen to. That's not to say that everyone else wasn't fun and pleasant, but there's something about Gregg Berger that just made him feel like I could be instant friends with him
I hope everyone enjoys this interview.

Wizwar100 has punished this site
I have two people who just became Affiliated Productions today and one of them has punished the hell out of The Game Toon Zone.
In the most videos uploaded in one day for one affiliate, many of Wizwar100's videos are now featured on this site and it was a pain in the ass to go through them all and try to organize them. They are however pretty entertaining at times as well as pretty random which helps, so to those who are new to Wizwar100, go to the Affiliated Productions and check him out.
As for the second update, Mike Maverick is now part of this site with his new Ace Reviewer series. The first episode is a bit of a rough start, but there's a lot of potential with it, and I'm going to be helping him with production of the later episodes. So, also check out his first video for the site, also under Affiliate Productions.

Ask Macks 2 & BigAl Rants
To annoy one of my affiliates as he was taking forever with the next episode of his series due to him deleting an entire topic of questions and starting over, I just pretty much forced him to make an episode with what he had because I wasn't going to put up with anymore delays for his actions.
You can check out Ask Macks 2 by scrolling over Ask Spax and clicking on the Ask Macks sub-menu.

The Game Toon Zone is going to E3
Great news for The Game Toon Zone, me and Kyoslicer have been invited to attend E3. Unlike the E for All videos, these will be done as documentaries and interview videos that use all the footage we have recorded to make it hopefully more informative, and also help make it feel more you, the viewers, are attending the event yourselves.
I hope all of you will enjoy what me and Kyo have to bring this June.
Another Macks Look Back & That's Our Nima's Pilot
Macks has given us another look back on his favorite console (also from Sega like the first video was), and I have given you all the pilot quickie to That's Our Nima.
You can go and check out Macks' console review in Affiliated Productions: Macks and check out the pilot in That's Our Nima.

First Updates of 2010
I greatly apologize to everyone for the amount of time these updates took. You can blame them on the following factors: me being busy with things off the internet, being busy with other people, having to take longer then expected to add final touches to some of the videos, and one of my affiliates taking a while to add a necessary update to one of his videos.
All the crap aside though, I wanted the first update of 2010 to be a big one, and here is what I have in store for you: CNASN Game Reviews: Mega Man 9 Remixed & Extended in Season 2, Ask Spax - Episode 3, 3 new videos in the specials (2 by me, one by site affiliate and staff, Donutman), A new video from affiliate Kyoslicer, new videos from affiliate Guru Larry, and a new Q&A show section for Meckles (Formerly Pimpinfishstix). Also check out some new videos in the Fan Submissions.
I do have two negative points to bring up however. The first one is that the Pimpinfishstix page at the request of the Meckles himself is going to be taken down with all the videos removed from the site for a little while (they will be restored hopefully at a later point in time). The second one is that former affiliate AKnotholeResident, due to severe issues is also being removed from the site, and this one will be permanent.
So that's all I have to say for now, I hope everyone will enjoy all the new videos.
