WizKids Clix Games DB
  If you play ANY of the Clix games by WizKids (HeroClix, MaheKnight, Mech Warrior, or the upcoming Crimson Skies), you'll want to head on over to Battle Planner.

  There, you can download DB progrgams for the games. They'll let you keep track of the Clix you have, use them to build armies, keep track of the Clix you need/have to trade, and more. They even have ALL the stats for EVERY figure, along with images of them. And, of course, the programs are free.

FFT Tournament - The End of Round 1
  And so, with Lede defeating Celia 8-4, Round 1 is over.

  Round 2 will begin soon, but first I'm going to take a short hiatus. Round One has been going on since March 15, so that's about 3½ months.

  Hopefully, future Rounds and Battles will go by faster. I plan to make the voting period shorter, and maybe this time around I'll set up new battles on time... Nah. Probably not.

  Meanwhile, I have a new silly little poll for you to vote in...

Updated POW! .DAT File, New Forum Affiliate
  For those of you who use AnalogX's POW! pop-up stopper, I've updated the .DAT file I make available for it. You can download it right here.

  Next up, I've added a new Forum Affiliate: Corneria. This is Xolo/Jasukan's web board. It's a small community right now, since it just started, so let's help it grow!

  And I have nothing to say about the poll... XP

Forum Affiliate Removed, Site Affiliate Added, & 7/23-nes
  First up, I've removed RPGRevelation from the forum affiliates. Tuvai has closed RR, so there's no longer a forum for me to affiliate with.

  Next, I've added my site's first Affiliate Site: Dragon Eye Studios (a.k.a. DES).

  Finally, 7/23-ness. I'm lazy, so here's a direct copy & paste of the release list from DES:

  NES Hacks:
Boulder Dash Greed - Boulder Dash (DrJayPhD)

Bust-M-Up - Bust-A-Move (Jathys)

  Also, two new editors have had pages added, but have no yet been released. These editors are:

  Schnapsidee - 1942 (Matrixz)
BARF! - River City Ransom (Denzil)

  What? That's all the updates?! Well, don't fret! There will possibly be a few more updates today, and if not, you can expect them within the next few days. Things have been really hectic lately, and despite our best efforts at working hard for weeks on some of this stuff, it may not all be ready exactly for today.

  Keep your eyes peeled for any more 7/23 or post-7/23 releases. As I said, there will be some.

  And there you have it.

New Poll
  OK, that Pepsi™ or Coke™ poll was

  This poll, however, will have an impact on the future of the site. I plan to add both a Final Fantasy Tactics section and a Paper Mario section. The problem is, I'm not sure which one I should do first. This is where you come in.

  Should I do FFT? Paper Mario? Both? Cast your vote and let me know!
