April 30, 2003 | MagicFox Has Been Very Busy - Not Just With MCLoZ
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> The Beta Zelda Files >> TBZF Comments by Fans *MM File 2 Comment by HyperLink Added ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Item 47 by windwaker Added

CURRENT NEWS - HyperLink has a bit of speculaton for us about TBZF - LoZ: Majora's Mask File 2! ~ A new contributor to LILoT arrives!! Welcome to the site windwaker. At least I did not recognize the e-mail name nor has anyone ever submitted anything under that name before, either. ~ Remember: The Poll ends tomorrow. The moment I check it when I get up in the morning that's how the tally will stand. VOTE TODAY! Oh, and the next poll has already been decided. Ganondoof has a poll he would like me to set up, so you should all start voting again tomorrow. That poll will be up until May 18th.

COMMENTARY - The Monster Strategy Guide is coming. Sorry, I have been a tad bit busy lately, and not with just site related issues. LOL, MagicFox is trying to come up with a new schedule for her day ... hopefully I can follow it today. ^_^ I'm trying not to spend so much time on the computer and more time on my stories plus try to get some regular driving lessons in (I'm GOING to get a job this summer once I get my license). Oh! And tomorrow the current server provider goes down and I will have to reupload all of the files to the new server Josh has setup for us. So, if there's any downtime tomorrow - DON'T PANIC!! ^_^ We'll be back up shortly. ((There shouldn't be any.))

Post Time: 12:10 PM EST


April 28, 2003 | I'm Still Here...
UPDATES MADE - Video/PC Game Reviews >> Game Boy Advance - GBA *GBA: Metroid Fusion by The Eighth Sage Added

CURRENT NEWS - As the Update says, my review for Metroid Fusion is up! I'm also working on an item and heart piece list for OOA and OOS for Maxine to see. Maybe it'll be put up!!

COMMENTARY - After me not being here for a while due to me breaking my arm (ouch..), I'm back!!

Post Time: 12:48 PM EST


April 28, 2003 | Good Morning... Yeah Right -_- ZzZzZzZzZzZ
UPDATES MADE - The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: Ocarina of Time *New Intro Image ~ The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: Majora's Mask *New Intro Image ~ *Oracle Series seperated into two sections

CURRENT NEWS - Fire Link decided to go ahead and knock two more pictures out of the way ^_^. Don't they look kewl!! I love them!! Not as cute as Starfe's link dividers but definitely as awesome!! ~ I decided that the "Oracle Series" thing was just not working out with the two games. I didn't like it in the least so I just went ahead and seperated the two sections again like they were in Version 6.0

COMMENTARY - ::Head falls on the desk:: Nighty-night... -_- ZzZzZzZzZ

Post Time: 7:55 AM EST


April 27, 2003 | Two Things At One Time
UPDATES MADE - For MCLoZ Viewers >> Doh's Investigations *April 2003 Edition Added ~ The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: The Wind Waker *Bags and Contents Added

CURRENT NEWS - Yes two things from the wonderful me have been added to this great site here known as MCLoZ. First the I have added info on the bags that you get in The Wind Waker. Also I have added this month's Investigation, it is the final verdict on the latest Zelda game, The Wind Waker. Be warned it does contain spoilers and please remember if you do read the investigation it is soley my views alone, please do not e-mail me about how mad you are and what not.

COMMENTARY - Still trying for bigger commentary than Max...You know, I will one day come up with an idea for writing a bigger commentary...Just you wait!

Post Time: 11:38 AM EST


April 26, 2003 | Disappearing A Few Days To Work On Z3 Bestiary!!
UPDATES MADE - For MCLoZ Viewers >> The Zelda Fan-Art Gallery *4 Pics submitted by Zora Warrior

CURRENT NEWS - Yeah!! Zora Warrior submitted some pics!! Yeah!! ~ As for me, I will be disappearing to go work on the Z3 Monster Strategy Guide! Starfe's doing the graphics (of course) and me, I'm going to be touching up the descriptions and a few other things. *Sigh* This will be the final work we will have to do on that guide. ~ Don't forget to vote at the polls which ends May 1, 2003!! Also, head over to the Forums and play The Zelda Scrambler (they are sorta stuck at the moment >:] Hee) or if you don't want to play, just feel free to chat!!

COMMENTARY - Almost finished with the Z3 guide?! *Sniffle* It was lots of fun working on it (shut up, Starfe!). I'm going to miss it once it's all done, but ^_^ it will definitely look fantastic. Oi!! Starfe, wanna do Z1 next? That should be fun, too!! Not as extensive but definitely as kewl!!

Post Time: 3:59 PM EST


April 26, 2003 | Ages Walkthrough
UPDATES MADE - The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: Oracle Series >> The Game Walkthrough *Sections VI-VII Added

CURRENT NEWS - Looking at the Updates, one can conclude that the newest sections of the 'Oracle of Ages' walkthrough are up.

COMMENTARY - Blech. Why does school have to be held on such a season as this? Studies should be limited to cold and unsightly weather. All other times should be reserved for leisure activities...such as gaming. Even if I do that during school anyway.
[HyperLink pulls out his GBA and begins playing Four Swords against the person across the aisle]
Oh well.

Post Time: 3:53 AM EST


April 25, 2003 | Rearranging A Few Things... I'm Bored...
UPDATES MADE - For MCLoZ Viewers >> The Zelda Fan-Fic Library *HyperLink's story taken down ~ *Midi List 1 and 2 Reorganized

CURRENT NEWS - HyperLink expressed two days ago that he would like for his fan-fic to be taken down, though he promises that he is currently working on a rewrite. ~ And I rearranged the Midi Lists a bit, only to the extent of moving the Exclusive Fan-Midis down to the bottom. I think the game music themselves should come first and those midis seem as if they belong in the Remixes.

COMMENTARY - I'm bored. Where's Starfe? I feel like working on the Z3 Monster Strategy Guide!! *Sigh* Progress isn't coming on the MM walkthrough. I'm working slowly but... I'm getting bored with it already. LOL ^_^ No, don't worry. Let me get away from it for a while and work on something more fun and then I will return to it. - Starfe!! Since you aren't on, here's your next project: go through the Z3 game and get new pictures of ALL the monsters mentioned in the guide!! ((I need to add the ones from the last few sections, too.)) No resizing or anything, just make sure there is very little edges around it and the edges around it are black or transparent. I wanna get back to work on that section!! I've put it off for too long and now I have everything I need for it!!

Post Time: 4:04 PM EST


April 25, 2003 | And Another Good Reason Why Midi List 2 Is Good
UPDATES MADE - Midi List 2 *MCLoZ Music Specials Added ~ The Legends of Zelda >> The Wind Waker *List of Items Collected Added

CURRENT NEWS - I have no idea why Doh didn't announce yesterday that his Item List for The Wind Waker is now up. I guess the duty falls to me, then (though I'm sure he'll come on again later and do it again). ~ Now, THIS is why the second Midi List is just as great. Unfortunately there are clips that I would like to have on MCLoZ but the Midi Player just couldn't handle them, but now with the second list you can download them and listen to them in your own player. First song to mention, ^_^ the ever popular and most hillarious Legend of Zelda song created by Rabbit Joint / Special Thanks to Mathew Moore who answered my request yesterday for this song clip. (Actually, I was looking for the low file wave but I suppose this is better than nothing. It's still low file.) Then I have added some clips that Sangokyu sent to me once through the mail and suggested that I might try to put them somewhere up on MCLoZ. I finally found a place for them Sango!! One is the Intro to the Zelda Cartoons (blast from the past) and then... at least this was according to Sangokyu, the other is a sound clip from the Original LttP Commercial (in Japanese). ...Uh... it's ^_^ interesting, too... LOL. Not that I doubt Sanogkyu's sources but since he originally thought that the cartoon was also a commercial ... if anyone can disprove that this second clip is not from a commercial (or for LttP) then please tell me and I'll make ammends.

COMMENTARY - No offense, Sangokyu!! Just in case, you know. I don't wanna be accussed of releasing false information. Misinformed information is so MUCH better. I don't get yelled at by 200 rabid MCLoZ fans (one of which is the ever vigilent HyperLink). So, anyways, I guess that's it for the moment. Please enjoy these new sound clips. I will add more as I'm sure they are going to be sent to me. Tata, everyone!!

April 24, 2003 | This Is What Lazy People Can Come Up With
UPDATES MADE - *Midi List 2 Added ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Items 45 and 46 by Zora Warrior and HyperLink

CURRENT NEWS - ::Grins:: What is the purpose of Midi List 2? Well, the occassional person complains that the Midi Player doesn't work or this or that person wants to download the midis. -But that's what the .zip files were for, right?- Yeah... but, you want to know what I have to do for those zip files? Rename the midis so people know what the are (1 hour chore depending on how many midis are there) and then zip them up, load them up and then look for any possible errors. Which is why I never got around to adding the new midis into them. With this new list, it's set up the exact same way as the original list, the only difference is, it opens into a new window and is the midi itself, not an html file. To do this I copy and paste midi list and then in wordpad go to "Replace" type in the stuff I want replaced with what I want it replaced with. Click "Replace All" and I'm DONE!! Load up and that's it!! To get that list ready it took me two minutes. I'm lazy so I'm going to go with that. So, for those of you who want all of the midis, I'm afraid you are the ones that can't be lazy. You will just have to dl them individually yourself. Look on the bright side - you don't have to wait for me to update the zip files now.

COMMENTARY - I'm working on HyperLink's walkthrough piece. There was just a slight problem that forced me to stop work while I wait for him to send an image, so I decided to fiddle around some more with the site. Those midis have been on my mind for a while now. Also... I was going to put up that funny yet kewl wave of that Zelda song (actual singing) but... I seemed to have lost that disk with that midi on it. That was the only thing not loaded to the site so no biggie, the disk isn't a total loss, but, if anyone has that wave around, would you care to send it in? I would love to place it up for everyone to dl it. "Link has come to town..." ^_^ ::walks off singing::

Post Time: 12:28 PM EST


April 23, 2003 | It's Starfe's Official Birthday! And He Did Something!!
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> The Beta Zelda Files *Thumbnails Now Up

CURRENT NEWS - The thumbnails for the new Beta Zelda Files are now up. However, there was one small problem with File 35. For some reason, Starfe's imager wouldn't open it properly so he was not able to make a thumbnail of it. *Sigh* I guess I will look for another image of that particular scene (don't worry, there's plenty). However, I probably will have to rewrite the first part of my comment *sigh* :( since it won't go with the view. Oh well ^_^ MagicFox's jokes are lame, anyway, no big loss, huh? - Or maybe I'll make a new one.

COMMENTARY - Starfe wants me (why doesn't he just tell you) to make sure that I don't forget that today is his Birthday. How old was he again... 12? ::ducks Starfe's attack (whatever it turns out to be)::

*Sigh* Ack!! I'm behind now in my work. I have a few LILoT Items and I think an Oddity (might be wrong). And HyperLink has submitted the next part of his walkthrough. ::Runs around wildly:: AND MY STUPID SISTER STAYS HOME AND GETS THE COMPUTER!! HOW UNKEWL IS THAT!!! *Sigh* Work work work. Tata!!

Post Time: 3:32 PM EST


April 22, 2003 | Wait A Second There Tidus!! ACK!!
UPDATES MADE - None

CURRENT NEWS - None

COMMENTARY - ::Reads Tidus's update:: HOLD ON!! Whoa!! I said I would first read it and see if it sounds ok, just like everyone else. I haven't agreed to putting up, yet. First, I only have your part which I have read yet. Before I say yes I next want to see Ganondoof's part, too please, as I requested in the last e-mail. This is a "trial" only. If it's good then I will put it up.

Post Time: 9:34 PM EST


April 22, 2003 | Walkthrough
UPDATES MADE - (none...yet)

CURRENT NEWS - I Started The Master Quest Walkthrough With Gannondoof. I Finished Up To The Great Deku Tree (but it hasn't been posted yet). Playing and writing...Writing and playing...i'm so close. Almost Done! If Anyone Has Anything To Add To The Walkthrough, Please E-mail Me.
*I would Like To Thank The Makers Of Mountain Dew For Helping Me Stay Awake...Thanks!

COMMENTARY - Must...Stop...Playing...Eyes...Hurting...Nose...Running...
MORE::mountain::DEW!!!!! Must..Stay...Awake!!!! This Is So Annoying. This Walkthrough is a tough deal. But I have it ALL UNDER CONTROL...

.....What's That Sound....

Post Time: 8:07 PM EST


April 22, 2003 | Not Again... *Sigh* And Where Is Starfe! Lazy Lout!
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> The Beta Zelda Files *Files 34-50 Added

CURRENT NEWS - Because I am missing a graphics designer (and my other is busy) I don't have the thumbnails for the bar of examples that you click on to gain access to the file. So... those bars are going to take a while to load. As soon as Starfe gives me those thumbnails I will update those bars, I PROMISE! ~ How do you like The Wind Waker's new introduction image? ^_^ That's Fire Link's hard work! He's going to create one for each game to replace those intro pictures. Nice, yes? I like it! ~ Doh has gotten the Items list for The Wind Waker in to me (and more coming soon, I'm sure) but give me a break while I work on getting it up. ~ New problem: read Commentary for continuation of News.

COMMENTARY - Anyone notice the down time this morning? I know me and HyperLink did. I talked to my host, the almighty Josh, who really had no clue. He didn't do anything and so forth and on. However, it looks like we don't have to worry about it anyway. He couldn't log into his files (or something) went looking for the cause and... ::blinks:: OH NO! ::Pouts:: His service FeaturePrice is going down in 8 days!! *Insert rude insult* didn't even have the curtousy to e-mail him about it!! No, no panic necessary. He already put in a new order for another service which should be up like tomorrow. Honestly, I don't know if there will be any downtime. I don't think so, however, on my part... on the front page I have to try to reset up coranto (ick!). However, from last experience things should go a lot smoother. Hopefully nobody will see any "no site here" messages but just in case you do DON'T PANIC. And don't worry - this time we will remain with the same address "mcloz.com" ^_^ not like last time's server change (actually... that was an upgrade I think... whatever, this is Josh's stuff, my site just happens to go along for the ride *sigh*). I will continue with business as normal.

Post Time: 2:12 PM EST


April 21, 2003 | Now... Where Did My Graphics Designers Go? HELLO!
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *2 For Wind Waker: "Great Fairy's Trap" by JediLink37 and "Down with Beedle" by Linker 11 ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Item 44 by Young link ~ *Affiliates Requirements Updated

CURRENT NEWS - ^_^ It's about time that someone found a glitch in The Wind Waker, and maybe someone can end up duplicating it. NO GAME can be without a few glitches, no matter what Nintendo says! ~ I have changed my affiliates policy again, but this time, to what it was before. It was just aggrivating having to check visits and... there's a lot of nice sites that don't get the visits they want. However, I can't affiliate with every single site so I'm going to be quite a bit more strict that I was, I just won't check the visits is all.

COMMENTARY - Starfe! I need those thumbnails for TBZF!! Don't worry guys, I have more files ready to go (what about... 12 more or so) I'm just waiting for this lazy lout. ::Blinks:: And what happened to Fire Link. I got mad at him the other day then apologized when he told me he was sick... but... he still hasn't given me anything. ::Taps her foot:: Hrrrrrm.

A small note to somebody now that I've change my affiliates policy again (and I know that this just might make me sound like a real b*tch, but please forgive me everyone. There's a score to be settled). To RPGrounds' webmaster Spencer who I'm sure would like to leap at this chance to once again be placed back on my affiliates list - FORGET IT! Go to h*ll and take your site with you!

Post Time: 7:20 AM EST


April 20, 2003 | Happy Easter From Midnight Castle's Legends Of Zelda
UPDATES MADE - None

CURRENT NEWS - Be sure to join the Forums (and The Zelda Scrambler), vote at the polls, and participate in our more popular section "Zelda Secrets and Oddities" located under LoZ Related Articles!! Updates tomorrow!

COMMENTARY - I just wanted to wish all of my beloved fans a very Happy Easter and I'm sure the rest of my staff would like to as well. HAPPY EASTER EVERY-ONE!! ::Walks off chomping down on her own chocolate bunny::

Post Time: 8:12 PM EST


April 19, 2003 | My Finger Hurts... I Wrote Too Much... And Still Want To
UPDATES MADE - *Scrambler Tracker Added ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Items 42 and 43 Added by Linker11 and Tidus

CURRENT NEWS - I hope Item 42 wasn't a double. I couldn't find another like that so I'm hoping it's not. If it is I'm sure HyperLink will point it out ^_^ if someone else doesn't. ~ ::Nods:: I really want to advertise my Scrambler game so I thought that new above box might catch some people's attention! I will try to update it frequently with the current Round. ~ Uh.. yeah, I'm working on TBZF *cough*... ~ Ganondoof and Tidus are planning on teaming up to do the Master Quest walkthrough!! ^_^ So, if anyone wants to snag this they had better hurry because if Ganondoof has a part in it I'm pretty sure it will be a success... who knows. I'm eager to see how it comes out. GOOD LUCK YOU TWO!! ~ Don't forget to vote at the polls!! The vote will end May 1, 2003!!

COMMENTARY - Uh... where have I been yesterday and most of today... actually, it wasn't on the computer any at all... sorry. ^_^ My stories reminded me that I haven't written in a looong while and... I suddenly got in a very passionate mood to write Thursday morning... and I didn't stop. I woke up at 10 am, picked up my clipboard but didn't come out until 12 but still continued to write for the rest of that day. And today I pretty much did the same. However because I neglected writing seriously since February... my writers' callouse abandoned me... and is now making a return... ::pouts:: my finger's swollen. I definitely can't write now... but I still wanna. *Sigh* The agonies of being a writer.

Post Time: 12:23 AM EST


April 16, 2003 | Here's A Small Update For You While You Wait
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Item 41 Added by Young link ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *For LoZ: "Don't Hit the Old Guys" by Dark Grapefruit / For OoT: "Get Your Money Back" by Dark Grapefruit

CURRENT NEWS - ::Nods:: A tiny update to say the least, though the items are still pretty interesting. You will notice that I have deleted the Item 41 in LILoT that Marc had previously sent in. Uhh... as HyperLink pointed out, it was a double of #1 so I had to take it down. Sorry I was not quick to catch that. ~ I'm currently working on getting some more Beta images for OoT as well as working on my MM walkthrough. Don't ask me when I'll get done with the next of anything.

COMMENTARY - I might do something small with the Zelda Scrambler game... hrrrrm... idea... idea... idea... let me see if it will work and if in the end it is still a good one. Also VOTE AT THE POLLS. This question is very important to those of you who love TBZF! When I last looked more people wanted someone to do The Wind Waker section ONLY! ^_^ I'm glad they don't think I should have a replacement / helper. That means I must be doing something right. This poll will go on until: May 1, 2003. Well, until next time, Tata!

Post Time: 3:51 PM EST


April 15, 2003 | My Sister's Friend Is At My House... HELP!
UPDATES MADE - *New Zelda Poll ~ *Special Announcements Updated ~ *Status Message Changed

CURRENT NEWS - This Zelda Poll has more of a point to it. Since I don't have The Wind Waker... I can't do anything for The Beta Zelda Files on it... so, what do you guys want me to do? Just not do it, bring more people in to work on the section anyway, or just get someone to do The Wind Waker section? The choice is yours so VOTE!

COMMENTARY - ::Eye twitches and keeps the Cat-cap off:: Grrrrr, my sister's friend is over... for today and tomorrow (or was it next day). I can't stand him. ::Pouts:: And everyone is going camping over-night tonight... I'm not going 'cause I just don't want to put up with the creep!! ...He tried the Neko-cap on!! *Sniffle* He took if off my sister's desk and put it on... GRRRRR. He ruined the cuteness of that cap. ::Pouts::

Post Time: 1:29 PM EST

CURRENT NEWS - Well, the update box says it all. I am HyperLink, and the first segment of my "Oracle of Ages" walkthrough is up.

COMMENTARY - Wa, ha, ha! Tremble, mortals, and dispair! Doom has come unto this land! Well, not really. But I'll be posting this while all of you freaks are asleep or at school, don't I feel lucky! [HyperLink looks at his classy watch] 8:22 PM. I feel alone on the internet.

April 14, 2003 | The Zelda Scrambler Is Once Again Open For Play!
UPDATES MADE - For MCLoZ Viewers >> Game: The Zelda Scrambler *Re-Opened ~ MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Join the Castle Staff *Updated ~ MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Meet the Staff of MCLoZ *HyperLink Added

CURRENT NEWS - ^_^ ::Nods:: HyperLink, frequent poster for Zelda Secrets and Oddities, has now joined the staff to help us out. He will be in charge of the OoA Walkthrough (which is currently up) he will, hopefully, post his own update later. (Ganondoof also has an update to make *cough*.) ~ A note to those veterans of MCLoZ, The Zelda Scrambler is currently going in the MCLoZ Forums, and the more players THE MERRIER! And even if you are new, please visit The Zelda Scrambler page under For MCLoZ Viewers to learn what it is all about and how to get there!

COMMENTARY - Yes!! PLAY THE ZELDA SCRAMBLER!! ;) The magnificent Maxine MagicFox, hosts it! And she commands you to visit the forums and PLAY PLAY PLAY!! ::Blinks:: Why do I sometimes refer to myself in third person? Don't ask me, I don't know. I just do it. ...MagicFox is a strange one, indeed, yes? But that doesn't mean I'm still not just totally and unbelieveable kewl!! And I command you to play my game!!

Post Time: 11:03 PM EST


April 14, 2003 | What?! Something's Wrong With The Forms Again?!!
UPDATES MADE - *Forms Updated... again

CURRENT NEWS - If anyone has tried to send me a form any at all today they would have found... they couldn't. It wouldn't work at ALL! No one complained so I'm hoping no one tried to send anything in. Grrrr... ANNOYING THINGS! This time the problem is that hostedscripts.com has went down. Permanently or temporarily I don't know. But I didn't wait around. I got ahold of another service (bravenet.com, anyone?) that will hopefully do a lot better. Hey! And I could actually customize my own Thank You pages! I might be messing around with this feature a little bit still... so expect some more changes to it (I need to get it to link back to the page you just came from).

COMMENTARY - ::Taps her foot:: All that frustration what... not even a week ago, I think?! All to find out the site was going down anyway. GRRRRRRR!! >> Uhh.. how did I find out about this problem if no one reported it? ^_^ I was looking for something that might be featured on hostedscripts. Just trying out a little something (don't ask me if you'll ever see it!) Anyways... might be some more updates later. ((The next part of the TWW just came in, too! Thanks Ganondoof!!))

Post Time: 5:44 PM EST


April 12, 2003 | Watching Shrek And Working On The MM Walkthrough
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *New Oddity for OoT: "Bloodshed" by Marc / For MM: "Not Just for Decoration" by Marc / Two for TWW: "Look Familiar?" and "Musical Pearls" both also by Marc ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Item 41 submitted by Marc

CURRENT NEWS - Marc, Marc, Marc... ^_^ ::Laughs:: Thank you, Marc!! How's it feel to know you contributed enough to make a full update for MCLoZ? ~ Well, there is one thing I did want to address. I have gotten about.. four or so LILoT (Link's Infinite List of Torture) Items in the mail today that... weren't for the Ocarina of Time. Actually, they were mostly for The Wind Waker but one was for Majora's Mask. Sorry but... the LILoT page is for Ocarina of Time ONLY!! Quite honestly, it's not in my plans to really open the section up for other games. Perhaps I might if enough people ask me to (that means sending e-mails saying "Open this up for other games, Magicfox") but... ^_^ I would rather see more serious sections like the Oddities page growing. This page offers fun and interest at the same time.

COMMENTARY - Now for the commentary, huh? *Sigh* My sister hogged the computer for about the entire evening. ::Pouts:: Oh well, I spent an hour of that time actually doing something constructive. ^_^ I spent it watching Shrek (can't get enough of that movie!) and working on the MM Walkthrough! So, I might actually have an installment in fairly sooner than I thought. ...Ok... maybe not... I spent more time watching the movie than working ^_^ But, you get the idea anyway. ((No, no point to this whole story. That's why it's "commentary". Don't like reading about my life or about my interest in my sister's Neko-Cap? THEN DON'T READ THE COMMENTARY! ... Not to imply that anyone's complained.)) Well, Tata everyone!!

Post Time: 11:34 PM EST


April 12, 2003 | Don't Mistake My Absense For Laziness!! It's Not!
UPDATES MADE - None

CURRENT NEWS - Actually, I'm trying to get another staff member set up who will do the Oracle of Ages walkthrough and also get Tidus's walkthrough up ((*cough* it is up... he just hasn't announced it and gave his final decision on whether he likes how it looks)). ~ Alright, so, I'm fighting to keep my work caught up with my staff so... what am I going to do. I'm working on the MM walkthrough a little bit at a time, but my next update will more than likely be more pictures for The Beta Zelda Files!! We haven't had a few in a while, though before the server went down I promised some. So, Starfe will be receiving a zip file soon of pictures to make thumbnails of and I will be working on the file information. Might take a few days to say the least. So... in that time, I will only be showing up occassionally to post Oddities and LILoT Items.

COMMENTARY - *Sigh* I'm not going to get anything done much this week. It's spring break so I don't get the house to myself and then Monday night my sister has a friend coming down from CT to visit her hear in GA!! ::Glares:: And I hate this particular friend of hers. Then my little sister enjoys playing Pokemon Stadium so she'll be taking up my precious Nintendo... *sigh* Not a good week at all. :\ ::Puts on her sister's Neko-Cap she stole and smiles:: But I will be working when I can, I promise! ((Maxine's Sister: "You nerd! Give me back my cap! Grow up a little!!" Max: "No!"))

April 11, 2003 | Yeah!! We Finally Have A Wind Waker Walkthrough!
UPDATES MADE - MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Meet the Staff of MCLoZ *Updated ~ MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Join the Castle Staff *Updated ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *Three New Oddities for The Wind Waker: "The Sages of OoT" by dave, "Mysteriously Appearing Figurines" and "Zelda's Betrayal" both by Dark Grapefruit

CURRENT NEWS - *Sigh* I wish DG had told me about the spoilers in Zelda's Betrayal. ::Shrugs:: I suppose I would have had to read it anyway, though. *Sigh* That's what comes of being a WebMaster I suppose. Anyways, these three new oddities sound pretty interesting to me. ~ ::Grins:: New Staff Member Ganondoof who will more than likely be introducing himself later. He will be in charge of The Wind Waker walkthrough (which I will try to have the first installment up by tomorrow). I want to thank the other two who also tried out for this position but I'm afraid Ganondoof beat you both to it. So since I now have a walkthrough writer, that choice has been taken off of the list. Don't worry, still lots of positions to try out for.

COMMENTARY - ::Stares down at Tidus's post:: ^_^ Forget trying to beat my commentary. Tidus I think has just beaten my longest News column. ;) And his stuff is really informative and rant free. GO TIDUS!! ::Shrugs:: It might not be Zelda information but I think it's still very good information at that.

COMMENTARY - Uh... let's see... what should I do for Commentary? :( My sister took my Neko-cap back. *Sniffle* I wanna be a cat again. *Sigh* Oh well I guess I will just have to be my normal MagicFox self. ^_^ Hee, and I'm still kewl this way too. What? You I'm conceited? ::Blinks:: I thought you already knew that!!

Post Time: 4:52 PM EST


April 9, 2003 | Music And Oddities... What More Could You Want?
UPDATES MADE - The MCLoZ Midi Player *New Midis ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *New Oddity for LttP: "Quick, Easy, and Clean Kill on Viterous" by Jeremy Yerkes / New Oddity for TWW: "Retrorock" by Jeremy Yerkes

CURRENT NEWS - Sweet Oddity for LttP! Whoo! Even Jeremy taught this LttP-loving vixen a new trick. SWEET!! ^_^ And he also opened up a new game section: The Wind Waker! :( Too bad I can't try these out. ~ Ok, here's the list of newly added midis: For LoZ: (LttP) Four Swords- "Selection Screen" / For LoZ: Oracle of Seasons- "Dating Rosa" "Din's Dance" "Hit Maple!" "Get Maple's Items" / For LoZ: Oracle of Ages- "Ending 1: Zelda" "Ending 2: Credits" "Fairies' Woods" "Ganon Battle" "Sea Bottom" "Twinrova" / For LoZ: The Wind Waker- "Zelda Intro" / For Zelda Game Extra Music- "LttP- Got Boss Item" "LA- King Mamu's Song" "OoA- Tune of Echoes" "OoA- Tune of Currents" "OoA- Tune of Ages" "OoT- Shadow's Nocturne" "OoT- Learned Melody" "OoT- Time Travel" / For Zelda Songs Remixed- "Noct. of Shadow Remix"

If anyone knows a site to get The Wind Waker midis please tell me! I'm looking for some! ::Spins around in her chair:: Hey! And look at that, I finally found a copy of the missing Nocturne of Shadow! That means I have all 12 Ocarina melodies for OoT! ...Oh, and if you are trying to download these new ones through the zip, you can't. I haven't included them, yet. I will get to that, too. One thing at a time! Geesh! Well, I got other stuff to do, so, Tata!! ((::Points to the cat-ear cap on her head:: Yep, I'm still wearing it!))

Post Time: 3:43 PM EST


April 9, 2003 | Using A Guide And The Game Doesn't Make This Easy
UPDATES MADE - The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: Majora's Mask >> The Game Walkthrough *Sections I-II Added

CURRENT NEWS - Well, this is the start of my walkthrough. More or less the Introduction actually, now it gets to the good parts and the actual playing... I'm dreading this. I'm using my guide and the game for support to help me along as I write but it still doesn't make it much easier. Not to mention I've never written a walkthrough for a 3D game! *Sigh* More coming later...

COMMENTARY - ::Shrugs:: There should be more updates later. I got a few staffing things in the mail but even still those usually take a few days after, so I'm not going to count those, but I'm in the mood for some more midis. Those current midis are getting a bit boring and it's bugging me that I don't have a lot of tracks filled in. So expect some music... I wonder if I can find some for The Wind Waker... ::crosses fingers::

::Grins and puts on a black ski-like cap with two cat ears on top:: My sister found this in her room yesterday. She collects caps and this one she got once for Wacky Hat Day at school. ^_^ I hope she doesn't mind me wearing it. ...My Mum keeps giving me weird looks though whenever I wear it. I think it's cuuuute. ::Grins:: A fox wearing cat ears. ;) Aren't I the kewlest. I am now two of my favorite animals at the same time. ::Praces away:: ((It must be hard to imagine that I'm 18, huh?))

Post Time: 10:42 AM EST


April 8, 2003 | Boredom Leads To Ideas You Might Regret Later
UPDATES MADE - Tomorrow (I already said this)

CURRENT NEWS - ::Shrugs:: I was surfing other Zelda sites because I'm on the wrong computer (yeah, we have two and this one doesn't have my website stuff on it). And I've noticed that any number of sites have a Zelda Timeline. Veterans to the site know me, I don't believe in the Zelda Timeline. OoT to me was a recreate of LttP as well as the Oracle series and the only sequals are those on the NES, LttP to LA, and then those on the N64, and the Oracle series of course. After that there is no connect, that's how I feel. However... I was talking with someone the other night (don't ask me who, I talk to so many) and we came up to the point that what I feel is not what my viewers always feel and I really should have SOMETHING.

::Taps her foot:: Ok, so I should have SOMETHING. So... now I suppose I come to two choices. 1: The first person I meet gets to put their timeline up and I guess that's it. ... So... what makes this person's idea so much better than that person's? Trash that idea. 2: Let everyone submit something. ...Uhh.. Do I have enough room for all of that?? And then with some of these uneducated people... I'm sorry, I don't want to edit things like that. I can just imagine this. So... what do I do??

Surfing the web I got a bit of a small bright idea. I don't know if it will work out but ::shrugs:: why not? The idea came a little with Doh's monthly Investigations. ^_^ What if we have something like that only investigating this timeline thing. So, there I can have fans submit something and some appointed staff person who wants to do this can sift through these ideas, choose the best and post it up for that month with some comments of his own up and we do this each month (idea subject to change of course). Problem being... I have enough to do as well as most of my staff. So, I'm going to be looking for one person who is interested in this to sign up in the Join the Staff section.

Warning: I will NOT accept just anyone. It's not going to be like how I choose other staffing members. I'm looking for someone that can EDIT their own stuff as well as talk legibly as well as be dedicated to their work as well as know what the heck they are talking about. So, you fill out the form and I will place you up on my IM box and the next time I see you on, we'll chat. If I don't accept you, I don't accept you. If no one applies, no skin off my back, I don't even believe in this whole stupid thing.

COMMENTARY - ::Glares at her sister's back:: Ok... so the Join the Staff page isn't updated with this yet... I still have the above mentioned computer problem, so I will get it when I can. If someone really wants it that much they can make out an e-mail with the appropriate form boxes on the page and in Jobs put down Zelda Timeline.

Post Time: 8:00 PM EST


April 8, 2003 | New Article
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> News in the Realm of Zelda *New Article Posted

CURRENT NEWS - None

COMMENTARY - None

Post Time: 7:46 PM EST


April 8, 2003 | Alright, I Have Fixed All Of The Forms... Sort Of...
UPDATES MADE - *All Site Forms Editted

CURRENT NEWS - ::Shakes her head:: I don't know what's wrong with them. So, instead of fixing the problem, I bypassed it. I set something else to the e-mail feature and placed the fill in box for your e-mail under another title. ::Laughs:: If you don't understand this, don't worry about it. Just suffice it to say that you can now fill out the form if you have a @hotmail.com account and I also noticed that if the e-mail box was not filled in I wasn't getting anything, that's also fixed with this feature.

COMMENTARY - Needless to say, if you have recently filled out a form with a hotmail e-mail account or leaving that space blank you will now need to refill the form out. I'm sorry, I really am. I don't know what happened to it. Hosted Scripts must have made an update that screwed everything up because it USE to work properly (I checked it thoroughly when I put the first form up because that's just me - worry body). So, everything's fixed. -- HyperLink, you can now fill out the forms without worrying ^_^.

Post Time: 3:44 PM EST


April 8, 2003 | So That's What's Wrong With My Forms!!! ... Crud!!!
UPDATES MADE - None

CURRENT NEWS - I have received e-mails from at least three people so far stating that they have a filled out a form ::blinks:: and yet... I did not receive it. What's going on? Actually, I didn't realize it until a few seconds ago when the third person contacted me. For some god unkown reason the form will not send to my e-mail box if you fill out the e-mail box with an @hotmail.com account name. All three of these people have a hotmail account and I have tried filling out the form myself with a hotmail account name and then an aol account and I only received the aol account. What is wrong is beyond me I will look into it, until then, people that have a hotmail account... leave the form blank and place a note down at the bottom of the comments box telling me so.

COMMENTARY - Just in case you didn't get it above: if you have a hotmail account and are filling out a Join the Staff form, a Oddity form, or a Link's Infinite List of Torture form DO NOT put in your e-mail address in the appropriate box. I'll look into the problem.

Post Time: 2:14 PM EST


April 8, 2003 | Just Thought I Would Check In To Give You A Heads Up
UPDATES MADE - Tomorrow

CURRENT NEWS - I'm working on my MM walkthrough at the moment. With any hope I'll have it up tomorrow. So, no updates from me today... unless someone submits an Oddity or a LILoT Item. ^_^ Don't forget to vote at the polls, either, you especially girl video gamers. ::Pouts:: I wanna beat those boys... ((yeah, it's fun to dream)).

COMMENTARY - ::Stares at Starfe:: ^_^ But they are cuuuute!! I still don't see how depanting makes you anymore manly. ^_^ Now all I can imagine is little [insert Starfe's nickname] running around as a four year-old in a diaper ^_^. Awww, that's cute too. ::Picks Starfe-baby up and hugs him::

Post Time: 12:25 PM EST


April 8, 2003 | So..... Manly!
UPDATES MADE - *New Manly Section Dividers

CURRENT NEWS - Yeah, I totally spent like 3 hours putting up with Max to make those uber 1337 section dividers. She finds em cute, which totally offends my manliness and forces me to compensate...

COMMENTARY - Yeah, she offset my manliness by saying I made something cute, so I decided not to shave for a week. Then my girlfriend was coming over, so I had to, so I did it with no shaving CREAM and just water! How manly is THAT for ya! Then she called em cute again, so I had to..... DEPANT!
YES! Pantless very MANLY Starfe! God Im Manly.

Post Time: 12:43 AM EST

UPDATES MADE - *New staff member: Tidus

CURRENT NEWS - I'm Tidus and I write the news articles around here.

COMMENTARY - I'm new to the site so if I'm doing anything wrong please tell me. Otherwise, if you have any news for me that you have seen and think to be true please e-mail me at flip_dragon@netzero.com. Thanx

Post Time: 9:28 PM EST


April 7, 2003 | Notice Anything Different ... Two Thumbs Up For Starfe!
UPDATES MADE - *New Section Dividers

CURRENT NEWS - ^_^ CUUUUUUUTE!!! Aren't they CUUUTE?!! Great job to Starfe who put up with my perfectionalism and pulled off yet another great art project to better the site!! Z3 Sprites are just soooo cuuute!! Now... *sigh* Where's Fire Link with my new intro images for the games? That would make this week SO perfect.

COMMENTARY - ::Admires her new section dividers:: ^_^ This really decorates the castle nicely. *Sigh*... Starfe signed off before I could say that he could make an update when he gets back on ;) So, Starfe, when you see this, you can if you want to show off your "manliness" ((inside joke)).

Post Time: 5:57 PM EST


April 7, 2003 | I'm Still Here!
UPDATES MADE - Video/PC Game Reviews >> Nintendo System - NES *"NES: Super Mario Bros. 2" by Angel Added

CURRENT NEWS - Um.......I think the 'Updates' kinda tells you....

COMMENTARY - I wrote this review on Wendsday (I think.....) and forgot to send it to Maxine.......O_o.Lol, I've been having fun with SSBM with the 'Friendly Fire'. It lets you attack your partners. Why would you want to attack your partner?Well....When my partner stole one of my items or is being an "idiot", I can hit them ^-^

Post Time: 5:56 PM EST


April 7, 2003 | Another Update Full Of Staffing Information
UPDATES MADE - MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Join the Castle Staff *Updated / No News Reporters or MM Walkthrough Writer ~ Meet the Staff of MCLoZ *Updated with Tidus's Info

CURRENT NEWS - ::Nods:: Ok, Tidus, who might announce himself later, has just joined our staff. ^_^ Finally it looks like I got a decent News Reporter. His first article at least was interesting. I guess we'll see how he works out, and with E3 coming up soon he'll have plenty of chances to prove himself. ~ That's it for News Reporters. I have three and I think that's all I really need. At any rate I need other positions filled in. I started my MM walkthrough yesterday so I have taken that down from the Staffing choices as well. Wish me good luck on that. ~ In other news: Zelda Domain, one of my affiliates and good friends, asked me to advertise his newly opened boards! Good for him!! They are all 100% his and they look kewl ;). Once Starfe finishes with the section dividers we'll move on to our own. I don't know what's up with Josh at ACO but his boards have been down for a while *sigh*.

COMMENTARY - Well, I have Tidus's article to get up, which I will work on right away, and then I will get to work on my MM walkthrough. With any luck I'll have the first installment of that out tomorrow or Wednesday. Maybe today if I'm really dedicated... ::stares at FF8:: ... "if I'm really dedicated." ^_^ Until then, everyone, Tata!!

Post Time: 10:56 AM EST


April 6, 2003 | Well, That Takes Care Of One Project... Now Another
UPDATES MADE - The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: A Link to the Past >> The Game Walkthrough *Entirely Editted ~ Video/PC Game Reviews >> Nintendo System - NES *"NES: Super Mario Bros. 2" by Angel

CURRENT NEWS - ^_^ I just went and just decided to finish the darned thing. The entire Z3 walkthrough is editted, except for the errors that I didn't catch which will just have to stay there until some day I come back to it and decide that I will edit again... (never). If there's a real big and obvious mistake, then notify me and I will fix it. ~ I guess Angel didn't want to make the update herself, but her newest game review is now up. ^_^ One of the older games in the world but a definite classic.

COMMENTARY - *Sigh* I guess tomorrow I will get started on my Majora's Mask walkthrough since I have received no applications for it. ...Oh dear... This is going to be entertaining... *sigh*. ::Shrugs:: Also, Starfe's section dividers are coming along very well ^_^!! He has only made just one temp one but it is sooooo cuuuuuuuute!! Cute, cute, cute!

Post Time: 7:16 PM EST


April 5, 2003 | LOZ Walkthrough Dungeon 3 Added
UPDATES MADE - The Legends of Zelda >> The Legend of Zelda >> The Game Walkthrough* Sections VI - VII Added

CURRENT NEWS - Hey all, sorry I took so long to continue the walkthrough...anyway dungeon 3 is done for the LOZ walkthrough. I hope to give you dungeons 4 and 5 before May.

COMMENTARY - None

Post Time: 9:50 AM EST


April 5, 2003 | Who's Ready For An Update At This Time Of Night?
UPDATES MADE - The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: The Wind Waker *The Story Added / The Preview Pamphlet Page Added ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *2 Oddities for MM: "Sound Check" and "One Tough Rock" both by HyperLink

CURRENT NEWS - For starters Doh has sent in the Instruction Booklet story for the Wind Waker intro page. And therefore I moved the Preview Pamphlet items to their own page as a permanent part of MCLoZ. This is only the start as Doh is just now playing the game. Be patient. ~ ::Nods:: Oddities ^_^ Two strange ones from HyperLink who promises more to come during his spring break. ~ Now... what would make my upcoming week really really great is if Fire Link would finish the intro photos for the games (TWW ESPECIALLY) and Starfe finally finishes those Section Dividers. *Sigh*

COMMENTARY - Is it determination that keeps MagicFox up this late at night, updating her site. Or maybe it's just her love for the Zelda series and her fans. Or maybe she is just insane? But the most likely reason of all... she's stuck in her game and decided to pop up for a quick update. ^_^ At 1:30 AM what else could the reason be? Night-night everyone!!

Post Time: 1:32 AM EST


April 4, 2003 | The Revamping Of One Of The Best Pages On This Site!
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *Revamped

CURRENT NEWS - As I mentioned earlier this morning I revamped the Zelda Secrets and Oddities page ever so slightly. I gave it a new intro and I gave it some jump links down to the games you want to read about as well as jumps back up to the top so you can reselect a different game. ^_^ I hope you like it.

COMMENTARY - Doh sent in some stuff for The Wind Waker which I will put up soon. ::Blinks:: Hold on... I didn't think that Doh would get his game until May (a fact I was slightly worried about and having doubts). I guess since he pre-ordered it he got it early? ::Shrugs:: Whatever. ^_^ I'm just glad he got it. Now... if I could get a walkthrough writer my life would be perfect... someone signed up for it today, let's hope he comes through for us!! Angel also sent in her newest Game Review. That will be added soon as well. Until then, Tata!!

Also, don't forget to vote at the polls!! Ack! Come on girls!! The boys are in the lead!! Come on, we have to let them know that there's just as many of us as there are of them. ::Taps her foot::

UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Items #38-39 submitted by theatrebrad

CURRENT NEWS - ^_^ Well, there's last night's turned in items. ::Blinks:: I'm really starting to expect Oddities and List Items in my mailbox daily. I'm glad these two pages are doing so well. Keep turning them in. ~ Link42 finally submitted another piece of his walkthrough! Dungeon 3! I will try to get it up today (it's what I'm working on next) so expect him to update either today or tomorrow sometime (depends on when I get it done). Then I will work on altering the Oddity page a little and then I will work on my walkthrough (which I have been working on editing I just haven't loaded anything up).

COMMENTARY - Yeah, you see that time below. ::Nods:: I know you do. It's that early and yet I'm up and making an update. First thing I do in my day is make an update. ^_^ I'm insane, huh? Oh well. Someone's gotta do it.

Oh! That also reminds me. A special treat for one of our frequent visitors who talks to me quite a bit ^_^. ChameleonLizard3 as I know him - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HON'!!

UPDATES MADE - MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Join the Castle Staff *Updated

CURRENT NEWS - Saddly The Eighth Sage has just informed me that he will not be able to fulfill his promise of doing the Master Quest walkthrough due to some understandable complications. So he will just be a Game Reviewer (maybe in the future he will be able to try to help with something else). Anyways, a number of people had previously submitted forms for the Master Quest walkthrough. If those people are still interested please fill out the form again and I will be glad to give you a chance (fill out the form and I will give you information that pretty much says you need to turn in a portion of your walkthrough completed from the beginning through the Deku Tree... "ONLY" please. I don't want you doing the entire thing and then not have me accept you. Remember, maps earn you extra kudo points though they are not required.)

COMMENTARY - So, here's the positions MCLoZ needs filled at this time:

News Reporter
CD-I Zelda Reviewer*
Legend of Zelda Section Manager
Zelda II: Adventure of Link Walkthrough Writer*
Zelda II: Adventure of Link Section Manager*
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Walkthrough Writer**
LoZ: OoT Master Quest Walkthrough Writer*
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons Section Manager
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages Walkthrough Writer
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages Section Manager
Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Walkthrough Writer*
Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Walkthrough Writer*

More information on these jobs is provided on the Join the Staff page at the very bottom. PLEASE! If anyone would like to help out on MCLoZ then sign up for one of these positions. I need some help!

*These items are most requested and require Staff Members since MagicFox either does not own the game or cannot play it and therefore the work will never get done unless someone signs up for them.
**The Majora's Mask walkthrough is the next item on my To Do List. If no one signs up for it *sigh* I will do it. So if you want it, hurry and take it because once I start on it it will no longer be open for grabs.

April 3, 2003 | Yesterday Was Staff Clean Out Day... Farewell To A Few!
UPDATES MADE - MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Meet the Staff of MCLoZ *Updated ~ MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Join the Castle Staff *Updated ~ *Japanese Anime-tion section taken down ~ *Video/PC Game Review Section Opened

CURRENT NEWS - ::Nods:: Here goes. I cleaned out the staff yesterday of those that had not turned in anything at all or in a very long time. ::Shrugs:: Sorry guys but I told you how it was going to be and you didn't change. Farewell to: Mike, Tiger, Skullrama, MZM, and Pluto. ~ Now, since Skullrama, MZM, and Pluto were the only others besides me and Starfe doing the anime review section (and the both of us have been busy with other things) there was no one to take care of that section. And furthermore the section was pathetic and many felt that it just didn't belong anyway, so, there will be no more anime reviews. If you would like to talk about anime you can still do so at our forums but MCLoZ will no longer be hosting it (whether or not I change my mind in the future is something that cannot be fortold at this time). ~ In place of it I decided that the game review section needed a bit more publicity than the simple one link we had up. ^_^ There's quite a bit of stuff and hopefully this way it gets a bit more attention (though I'm sure many already did enjoy it). I think it looks nice like that.

COMMENTARY - If anyone would like to voice complaints about what I have done, please do so. My e-mail box is always free (though not always empty, hee). ~ ::Pokes Starfe:: Last night I told you you didn't have to make the anime section divider... well, looks like you still have to make one only this one reads Video/PC Game Reviews. ^_^ I'm evil, I know it. ((Call it retribution for last night's update.))

April 3, 2003 | Happy Belated Birthday Starfe.. Now Get Back To Work!
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *For OoT: "The Horse Trick" by HyperLink ~ LoZ Related ARticles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Items 35-37 by Dark Grapefruit and HyperLink

CURRENT NEWS - ::Laughs:: Actually, #37 in LILOT is the same as "The Horse Trick" in the Oddity page. It's a pretty good trick that has to do with killing Link and using a glitch. Pretty kewl, so go check it out!! ~ *Sigh* Happy belated Birthday to (Maxim) Starfe the Deathwind. I sorta forgot about it like on March 31st and all. Let's see... he signed up on that date 2001 making him 2 years old now, though I would say it is three if you discount his hoax. Either way, the site's been up for three years and well ^_^ he's definitely been around the longest. And he's still as lazy and egotistical as ever. ::Re-reads his post:: You're full of it Starfe. Now, get to work on those section dividers and Fire Link is now working on some proper intro images for the Zelda game sections, so both of you now have something to do to make yourselves useful. ^_^

COMMENTARY - ::Does a little math:: Ok, so with today's Oddity... that makes... 135 total Oddities we have up on that page. .... Wait a sec... 135!!! ::Blinks:: Ok, I'll be honest, when I first made that page, I was not anticipating it to get that large or be this popular. ::Looks at the page, scrolling up and down:: I think I need to alter the page a little bit to make hyperlinks that jump down to each section. I think I will also rewrite that intro and spaz it up a little. ^_^ Thank you everyone who has contributed and continues to contribute! I look forward to see the Oddities that will be posted in the future (The Wind Waker included) even if I might not be able to try them out. ...135... Anyways, there will be more updates later, all of which will be about what I mentioned yesterday (and had intended to update about yesterday but didn't get around to it) so just stick around.

April 2, 2003 | Foolish Max! I Am Greater Then Her.
UPDATES MADE - None

CURRENT NEWS - Max seems to have forgotten so
Im gonna tell all of you, but on the
29th of March it was a glorious day in history.
That was the day, that 2 years ago
a wonderful man joined the staff.
His name, was Maxim Starfe The DeathWind.

COMMENTARY - Well, its a hillarious story of hillarity and....
General mayhem. You see, spring break had
rolled around an a certain Arek the
Absolute/Habaruku/Bill had decided it was
time to have a little fun/payback.
You see, Max had been leading everyone
on for quite a while with "staff members"
that were really just her impersonating
imaginary people. It was spring break and
I had a lot of time on my hands so....

.....I made up a fake identity, got a new email,
new AIM name, disapeered off the scopes of people
who knew me by my old names. I became a British
high school student who went by the name
Maxim Starfe, or as Max shortened me too, Starfe.
I began work on the site after sending in
a game review example and a graphic example.
She took me in automatically.
Little did she know.... Hahaha!

For like 2 weeks I led her on before we got into a conversation about this guy she used to know, which was me. I tried to steer the conversation in different directions but it stayed there. And she found me out. Of course I recently got her back when I told her I had known her FULL IRL NAME FOR QUITE SOME TIME! BA HA HA HA HA HA!

So yeah, 2 years later I still remain large and in charge here at MCLoZ. Im really the webmaster, Max is just cover. Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha. I am awesome arent I. Now we're cooking with GAS!

And to finish this GRAND AND AWESOME commentary.
I will let out a resounding w00t with one 0 for every day Ive been on staff.

w000000000000000000000000000000.... Ah screw it,
w00t.

Starfe out my friends, Starfe out.

April 2, 2003 | I Knew There Was Something I Was Forgetting To Do!
UPDATES MADE - None

CURRENT NEWS - I forgot this last month, too, though I was sick then, so I will cover this month's and last month's. Lots of thanks goes out to the following people for signing the MCLoZ Guestbook: Moiph, Scarlet the Spirit Sage, Stephanie, GriffUK, Kelly, HyperLink, Akane-chan (a very good anime friend of mine who popped in for a look see), and Hyruler10! Thank you all for your wonderful comments and praise (or criticism). And please, I invite more to sign the Guestbook!!

COMMENTARY - Thank you all for visiting MCLoZ even if you don't sign the guestbook, e-mail us, or send in any forms for certain sections. I hope you all love what you see and you find my site most helpful, if not, then e-mail me and give suggestions. I can't promise that I will always do what you say but I do promise that I will read your e-mail AND respond within a week at the latest (if it takes longer, I didn't get your e-mail, please re-send it). I hope to have your continued support in the future, I really am enjoying working on this site and love everyone visiting.

::Grins and shrugs at her regular viewers:: Give me a break, I'm the WebMaster, I have to say these things once in a while. But I do mean it! Alright, I have a few things to work on that are a little off-site related though they WILL affect the site... *sigh* and isn't going to be too fun for me to be at the end of. Expect an update later informing you all of the changes.

April 2, 2003 | So, Exactly How Many Girls Visit My Site?
UPDATES MADE - MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Past Updates Archives *March 2003 Added ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *Oddity for LttP: "Fastest Boomerang in the World" by Jeremy Yerkes / For OoT: "Bird with Triforce Theory" by HyperLink ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Item 34 submitted by Zora warrior ~ *Zelda Poll Changed ~ *Special Announcements Edited ~ *The Wind Waker Random Reviews up on entire site

CURRENT NEWS - Ok, for the first one, the general first of the month stuff where MagicFox moves all updates from last month into the archives. It's for those who missed something from last month or for nostalgic people like me or for me to know when and how I did something that I might need to do again. ~ ^_^ We have a new submitter to the Oddities page.. Jeremy Yerkes. And his oddity is good and is mostly for the GBA edition of LttP (untested for the SNES version). HyperLink, a not so new name ;) and that's just as kewl has also submitted yet another interesting oddity. ~ And then Link's Infinite List of Torture continues to grow - MWHAHAHAHAHA! ~ I change the Zelda Poll so be sure to vote (read more about the question in the commentary section of this update). ~ And I'm asking yet again that anyone who has played The Wind Waker to please submit a Join the Staff form if they are interested in writing our walkthrough!! ~ And then I have decided that since some people only visit certain pages (either because of the search engines list that first or because it's their favorite growing page) that now I will put the Random Fan Reviews of The Wind Waker on EVERY page and not just on the front page. Maybe this will get it some more attention. If it doesn't I think I have another idea for that box anyways.

COMMENTARY - The Zelda Poll question has to do with who is a girl video game player and who's a boy. ^_^ I'm interested in knowing just HOW MANY girls actualy play video games and make it to my site. I know of myself, Angel, and Dark Grapefruit. There's three... That's a rather disappointing number as opposed to all the guys that I know. So... SPEAK UP GALS!! ^_^ Let's count heads. I'm just interested. ::Laughs:: Those that are veterans to my site know how much of a big deal I make about this. How lonely... though it is funny to have those chatting with me suddenly figure out I'm a gal ((are they brain dead? My name's Maxine and I make NO secret about the fact I'm a girl...) And uh... I'm ranting again. ^_^ Tata everyone!! VOTE AT THE POLLS!!

April 2, 2003 | That Was Very Not Nice Sangokyu! ^_^ Good one.
UPDATES MADE - Coming...

CURRENT NEWS - I will move all of the updates for March to the archives today. Hold on. ^_^ I was out yesterday, please excuse my absense. ::Shrugs:: Oh well, I didn't have anything planned for April Fools anyway.

COMMENTARY - Looks like Sangokyu did. ^_^ And I know he scared at least one of my more devoted fans to the site who sent me an e-mail screaming "Noooo!" ::Laughs and claps:: Nice job, Sangokyu!!! ((No, Sango did not let me on this one, in fact that e-mail was the first thing I read that told me to visit the site and see what's up.)) I'll let Sango have the honor of shouting April Fools since it's his joke. :( *Sigh* Once again I didn't even get to prepare something evilly good. Starfe, next year you're going to help me come up with something ... and hopefully I won't be out like I was yesterday. ::Blushes and ducks:: I still remember last year's puny attempt. ::Crawls away on all fours:: Let's not go into that.

April 1, 2003 | The End Of Zelda Is Here
UPDATES MADE - none... but this may be the last post

CURRENT NEWS - In a press conference today in England, Shigero Miyamoto has said that he has switched religeons and will no longer continue the Zelda series. That means the next Zelda game developed by Capcom will be scrapped. This is a dark day for Zelda fans indeed.

COMMENTARY - Why Shigero? Why?!?
You made the best Zelda games and you had to stop? Why?
I guess my Wind Waker will mark the last Zelda game in the series, and MCLoZ will be forever a site on games no longer out. This is Sangokyu.
