PA! Eight Point Five Updated |
By Nick15 [Friday, November 21st 2003] |
A Quick Diversion: I need to make more movies. The Actual News: Well... it took us like... three months, but we've finally did it. We got the new server. It's 100% guarenteed to never shut down on us or delete itself (guarentee void in Tennesee). Better yet, we've stuck the forums onto this server, so it TOO will never shut down and delete itself ever again. Hehehe... But anyways.... given the fact that we haven't updated, etc, I decided to make it up to you by giving you a new version of PA!... Eight Point Five. Woot! Here's what it's all about... Updated Look: Nothing jaw dropping, but I changed the fonts a bit. For Mac users, you get a more Mac friendly font. For Windows users, you get a font that doesn't look like crap. Yup... that's what I've updated about this site. Give it a look. In the works though is getting some high quality scans of every card on the site... I seriously plan on doing that. :D But just for your information, this is going to be the last major PA! update ever in the history of PA!. I mean it this time. Why? Well, PA! is not gonna die, but.... you never know what might happen in the future. :D Enjoy! |
PA!8.5 Update Deal |
By Nick15 [Saturday, November 18th 2003] |
A Quick Diversion: Read below. The Actual News: OK, as you can tell the site is sort of in shambles right now. I'm currently working on uploading what's missing, but it's been a slow process, mostly due to something important that happened in my personal life (which I don't care to get into right now). When the site is uploaded, there's still a few tweeked I need to make, like I neglected the San Francisco Organized Play page... not to mention get NewsPro and the forums working (this post was done by hand). I'm sure there's plenty of missing sections 'round here... just bear with me just for a moment folks. I also need to upload the new EX blanks >:D which were just sent to me while the site was uploading to the new server. But year... that's where things stand at the moment. More news in an hour. |
Collector's Tin Du Jour |
By Nick15 [Wednesday, November 5 2003] |
A Quick Diversion: The Matrix Revelutions is out today. Have YOU seen it yet? .... Now here's a funny thing about the San Francisco Chronicle's movie review section. (The Chronicle is my local news paper.) See, the Chronicle, like all other newspapers, reviews movies. But unlike all other newspapers, the Chronicle has a weird habit of reviewing movies. I can't put my finger on it, but the theory my dad and I have is thus:
Getting back to REAL news... Nintendo releases their Pokémon TCG Collector's Tin, in an effort to capitalize on the success of the Yu-gi-oh Collector's Tin. All is far in love and war, you know. ;) |
Live In The San Francisco Bay Area? Good |
By Nick15 [Tuesday, November 4 2003] |
A Quick Diversion: I spilt jewlery cleaner all over my pants. How they sparkle like the dew. :D
Are you currently living SOMEWHERE in the San Francisco Bay Area and are looking for the next hot spot to play Pokémon at... but can't find any? LOOK NO FURTHER! I'm gonna host the first of many Pokémon TCG tournaments in the Bay Area! FINALLY you have a place to play!! :D |
Pokémon Batte-e out. |
By BPM_EXE [Monday, November 3 2003] |
A Quick Diversion: I would've posted this yesterday, but I was too busy with the three games I bought yesterday: Kirby Air Ride (GameCube), Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 (Game Boy Advance), and Megaman's Soccer (Super Nintendo). Huzzah!
So, yeah. Like the subject says, the new Battle-e Cards are out. There are three packs (Freezing Ray, Hidden Ruins, and Iron Defense). Each pack contains: |
APB UPDATE |
By RyoShin [Sunday, November 2 2003] |
A Quick Diversion: I hate snow.
Yes, the forums I linked to below are broken (sort of?). Not even 24 hours after I put them up, with absolutely no modifications whatsoever after it was set up. No, I am not going to fix them. Guess it's good to not wait, eh? |
ADV4/EX1 Team Aqua/Magma Theme Deck Scans Du Jour |
By Nick15 [Friday, October 31 2003] |
A Quick Diversion: Merry Hallowe'en!! Or Malloween or whatever that Homestar Runner thing says. (He's getting annoying now.) [Nick gets socked by a HSR fan... which is like all of you]
Some... pretty much ALL the other sites have card scans of the main ADV4/EX1 set, but no one seems to have [thunder clash] the scans for the theme decks. But guess who does? >:D |
ALL POINTS BULLITEN |
By RyoShin [Thursday, October 30 2003] |
A Quick Diversion: Here's the deal.
Alright, so you've heard time and again, "We're getting a new host, PA! will be down for a few days for this week or the next or sometime in May blah blah blah." Well, apparetnyly, we were speaking prematurely. |
Update on Bundle pricing |
By RyoShin [Tuesday, October 28 2003] |
A Quick Diversion: I am employed!
I got an e-mail from Didier, and he helps to shed some light on the pricing: |
This looks cool... |
By RyoShin [Monday, October 27 2003] |
A Quick Diversion: Hmm. We've hit even more snags with making a server switch. Expect Fakecard to be down sometime this week. Can't we ever get a break?
IGNPocket has a story about a new Pokemon bundle for our European friends. The bundle comes with your choice of Sapphire or Ruby, a GBA SP colored/branded as such, as well as a GBA SP case along the same lines. It sells for 170 Euros, which the article reports as being $170 American, but something seems very wrong with that to me. [pulls out Calculator] I dunno about the prices in Europe, but in America: |

EX Blanks |
By Nick15 [Sunday, October 26 2003] |
A Quick Diversion: Did you know my birthday was on October 20th? Hehe, silly me for not mentioning it. ;)
Howdy. Seeing that I'm a combination of both busy and lazy, I'm looking for someone I can kinda hire to make me a set of really NICE EX Blanks for me to add to the site (better if you already have a set). Though, I'd prefer if your blanks were 100% your own and not hacked together by someone else's EX Blanks (like I think there's a set of EX Blanks that were made from Pokémon Zeo's own EX blanks somewhere). |
