This is the coolest thing ever. You put in a name and it creates a robot acronym for it. Awesome.

THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

It's finally time for our long-awaited website redesign.

Personally, I'm really sick of this fairly slow-loading blog design and unimpressive homepage. I want something that looks good. If you have suggestions, please comment. I need ideas.

The XNA version of FlatRedBall was released three days ago.

Time for me to transfer all of my code over. :(

Oh well, it'll be awesome because now I can code for 360 and Windows without dealing with annoying libraries.

Expect major progress soon.

EDIT: I did some hacking around tonight, and aside from some changed syntax and more streamlined input code, this isn't gonna be too difficult to port what I've done already. Maybe I'll post a tech demo with the new publishing tool later.

So, Nintendo relaunched their Smash Bros. website. I was kind of unimpressed by the gameplay overview and stage they introduced. Sure, there is a slightly tweaked graphic interface and some touched up graphics, but nothing I wasn't expecting.

Then I saw the list of musicians.

It's absolutely epic.

Some highlights (epic wins in all caps):

Masaaki Iwasaki (Mother 3 (Earthbound 2))
AKIHIRO HONDA (Metal Gear Solid Series)
Jun Fukuda (Killer 7)
KAZUMI TOTAKA (Animal Crossing Series) (Hell yes)
Hajime Wakai (Star Fox Series)
KENJI YAMAMOTO (Metroid composer) (OMFG Ridiculous)
KOJI KONDO (Composer of everything ever) (Holy crap)
Masato Kouda (Devil May Cry)
Shogo Sakai (Original composer of themes from SSB:M)
Tomoko Sasaki (NiGHTS) (epic)
YASUNORI MITSUDA (Chrono Trigger) (Ohhhhhh baby)
Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts series) (Booyah)
YUSA TSUJIYOKO (Fire Emblem) (You know you want this)

This makes me so happy.
