God bless the GBA!  I can't wait to dig into SMB2!  I'm getting excited about this next month!  Two new Zelda GBC games due out in a week, GBA due out next month,  Twisted Metal Black due out next month as well... I'm about to burst with anticipation...it's been very slow of late in the gaming world, but things are about to change!  Wooo Hooo!

One question Stryder.  Do you want to see voxel technology on GBA?  I'm secretly hoping Nintendo revives its Commache project for the SNES.  The GBA can do voxel quite well  :)

because the editors were having too much fun running around playing Conker
and Mario's Tennis and staring at Ulala, and then posting a few sentences

I hope that didn't make you too upset or ticked off, just trying to create
discussion. I'd also like to pint out I just slammed a whole bottle of that
red Mt Dew and the caffeine may be affecting my work.

I should start a gaming website, for Bastion Productions of course, I'll do
the Q&A section. yeah, after I win a million dollars from Coca~Cola.
