Heya, kids! Are you all ready to go back to school?! Of course you are! It's not like you still have over a month of summer vacation left or anything! Just drop what you're doing and stock up on those office supplies because it's time to get ready for schooooool!
Enjoy this update (and your freedom) while you can, because classes will be here before you know it!
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata passed away earlier this week. He was quite an amazing fellow, and he will be missed by all.
As for something more fun, the folks over at TSG wanted me to tell you about the Mario Marathon! From July 17 to July 24, they'll be playing Mario games for a great cause. I encourage you to check out!
Happy Canada Day! I hope you're all having a sufficiently Canadian day.
I'm also obligated to give you your annual reminder about backing up all the awesome stuff you've done lately. Today marks the halfway point of the year, so this is a logical time to make sure all your source code, game resources, and design documents are backed up safely. Computer storage media has a way of failing at the hour of greatest need, so you owe it to yourself to back your stuff up! There are many different ways to back up your work, but whichever method you choose, make sure you follow it faithfully. Too many promising games have died with their hard drives. Stay backed up, stay happy.
Dr. Yoshbert ran out of witty phrases to use so I had to take his place. However, I have no witty phrases to post either, so the only thing I can propose to you is this update. Enjoy if you dare.
Oh, right! E3's arriving in only a short couple of days. There's a point of discussion- how about we talk about that? Any expectations? Anticipations? Things you know are not gonna happen but still want to happen anyway?
Seems we skipped a week this time. I'm pretty sure it's not because any FIFA officials bribed us to keep silent, though. I wouldn't even blame that Mafia game that's taking place on the MFGG forums! This is an update that is 100% free of official corruption, real or otherwise.
It's 11:30 PM (EST) over here, and I should be asleep. But nope, I'm still up doing things I should've done in the day- like posting some witty spiel about the new content you guys are getting this week and watching a bunch of old Simpsons episodes.
