March 29, 2003 | I Go Investigating
UPDATES MADE - For MCLoZ Viewers >> Doh's Investigations *March 2003 Edition Added
CURRENT NEWS - The latest instalment of my investigations is now up and running for you all to read, this month the investigation is entitled: It's All About the Graphics, Part 2 "Why are the graphics used to judge a game?"
COMMENTARY - Well, I have thought of many ways of writing longer commentaries than Max, but all my plans seem to look like they'd fail drastically, so I've decided to give up. But hey! one day I may just try and write a commentary longer than Max, so keep visiting.

March 29, 2003 | Waah, Don't Talk To Me About The Wind Waker!
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *Two New Oddities for LttP: "Death by Net" and "Desert of Mystery's Mystery" both by MagicFox / For OoT: "Emphasis of C's Trick" and "LttP Revival" both by HyperLink ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Items 32-32 by Oni Link and Zora warrior
CURRENT NEWS - Oddities: Well, HyperLink submitted two fantastic ones, one of which being the LttP Revival. I made a slight note beside it myself because I wasn't too sure if anyone else would understand why he/she named it that and to further explain it I put up "Death by Net" myself. A fantastic and useful Oddity, actually. And since I was at it I went ahead and put up another Oddity by me that I'm looking for any comments/speculations on 'cause I haven't a clue. ~ Torture List: I have to apologize to Oni Link about his List item. It's been in my mailbox for a while and I've just now gotten to it. Whoops... sorry.
COMMENTARY - There will be a few more updates in about an hour or so (maybe sooner maybe later). ~ *Sigh* I've been getting this in a lot of IMs recently: "Have you gotten TWW, yet?" ::Pouts:: No! *Sigh* Most veterans to this site know my problem. MagicFox's family and herself isn't very well financially endowed so... I don't have a gamecube and I don't have the money to get it or TWW (I couldn't even get the Master Quest by pre-ordering TWW). ::Walks off crying:: Leave me alone. It's a sore spot. Like OoT I probably will not be getting it until 7/8 months from now. ::Runs off to get a box of tissues::

March 27, 2003 | *Warning* Messing With The News Page
UPDATES MADE - None
CURRENT NEWS - Errrm, Tiger once again forgot to include a "None" in a blank field. However, I think I might know how to solve this problem altogether. I'm going to be messing with this news page so... Umm... ::Laughs:: Expect possible errors. If any occur, don't panic, I'll fix it right away! I promise! (This update is going to be my test subject, too.)
COMMENTARY - Finished testing... and couldn't get my idea to work. *Sigh* Will my staff members please remember to insert "None" if there's nothing to put in one of the areas.

March 27, 2003 | I WILL BE WORKING ON METROID PRIME!
UPDATES MADE - None
CURRENT NEWS - I will be working on Metriod Prime for my review this month so don't anybody go stealing my idea.
COMMENTARY - It should be out by a couple of days

March 27, 2003 | Ha!! Thanks Dark Grapefruit For Picking Up My Spirits!
UPDATES MADE - *1st Wind Waker Fan Review Submitted
CURRENT NEWS - Hee, ok, this is the only update I'm going to make about that box. ^_^ Dark Grapefruit proved him/her -self the bravest and the first to try out writing a fan review for that box. He/She really picked up my spirits. Thank you!! Now, see, all he/she did was fill out the form and pressed send and it was done. I put it up and it appears randomly (his will appear all the time until someone else submits one). You can say anything you want about the game. Even diss on it if you want. His/her message was small enough to fit entirely into the box, but you do not have to worry about that!! The reviews can be as long as you want. SEND SEND SEND!!
COMMENTARY - MagicFox sees hope. I see the hope that I have not yet created something that no one likes. Phew, ;) as long as one person likes it, then everything is just fine with me. Still, two reviews would really make my day so that way you can see how kewl that thing is when it brings the messages up randomly all by itself. Ok, I'm going, more updates later, hopefully.

March 27, 2003 | Have I, MagicFox - sama, Created A Failed Project?
UPDATES MADE - None, yet
CURRENT NEWS - ::Blinks:: No one's submitted any reviews yet for The Wind Waker? I thought this would be a great idea. Your chance to say "hey, I really love the game, it's fantastic!" and so forth. It can be any length you want. Geez, I guess I created my first failed-to-be-liked project. Well, I'll keep it up through the rest of the week, hopefully someone will get inspired enough to try it out. ~ Hooray for Sangokyu!! ^_^ He's agreed to take on the Oracle of Seasons Zelda game for Game Boy!! He's said he will be both the manage and walkthrough writer (I'll probably help him out with the managing part) but I seriously need all the help I can get. Now I just need someone to tackle the Oracle of Ages game. When I finish my LttP walkthrough (which I'm planning for today) I guess I'll have to start work on it if no one else will take it off my hands.
COMMENTARY - ::Bursts out laughing:: ^_^ Actually, I don't really no why I decided to suddenly call myself MagicFox-sama. ^_^ I usually only do it when chatting with a few friends just to show off my ego. ;) But then, I guess my ego isn't much of a secret on here anyway, huh. ((For those of you not familiar with Japanese slightly, -sama is the ending to a name that others tack on when refering to a person of higher rank such as king or queen or even god.)) ::Shakes her head:: I'm not conceited!! ...I'm just convinced ;) Hehehehe. ::Skips away to go work on her walkthrough::

March 26, 2003 | See, You Just Never Know What I'm Going To Do!
UPDATES MADE - *Wind Waker Random Fan Reviews
CURRENT NEWS - Duh! That new feature above the header for this page with the link picture beside it and titled "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: THE WIND WAKER REVIEWS SUBMITTED BY FANS". ::Shrugs:: It's just something I came up with about an hour ago and have been working on it ever since. I hope it comes out great but it's rather dependant on my viewers. See that current message? Once someone submits in a review it will be replaced with that review and once I get 2+ reviews it will randomly pop up between those. ::Spins in her chair:: Behold! The Magic of MagicFox!! MWHAHAHAHA!! ((Yeah, ok, it's the power of Javascript but SHUT UP!!)) So, anyways, those of you that have recently bought or received The Wind Waker please submit your reviews and I'll post them up.
COMMENTARY - No, actually, I'm serious. I didn't know an hour ago after my last update that I was going to make this. REALLY!! I didn't even know the codes for it an hour ago. I just happened to go over to one of my favorite sites theonering.net and the idea popped in my head ((::nods:: yes, I got the idea from there. The last two LotR movies that have come out that site has posted up something similar to this though a lot more high tech than my simple DHTML thing)). ;) Ok, so I can't take all of the credit. TORn gave me the idea but I did the research!! Give me kudos for that!!

March 26, 2003 | Just Doing A Bit Of Useful Piddling Around The Site
UPDATES MADE - The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: Majora's Mask *Keaton's Quiz Added
CURRENT NEWS - Somehow I never got around to do this. As you can see by my Heart Piece Locations guide I had meant to get around to it a lot sooner (since I was refering to the section) but I guess something happened that interfered with that plan. ;) Since I can't remember back a full year (I can barely remember back to yesterday) I can't remember what might have stopped me from getting to this. Oh well, it's finally up. I still need to do the Bombers' Notebook. I guess I'm sorta hoping someone will come take it off my hands by that time.
COMMENTARY - ::Shrugs:: I told you I would find something to do, though what was up to whatever I would end up working on. ^_^ I guess it was that. Why? Don't ask me, I just felt like doing it. I guess I'll have to say the same thing again. I'm in a mood to just do whatever the heck I want to and in the past that's always been the best course of action. Well, until next update, Tata!! ((Do you guys get tired of hearing me say that? ^_^ Nah, I didn't think so.))

March 26, 2003 | The World Enjoys Torturing Me, I Just Know It!!
UPDATES MADE - The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: A Link to the Past *Sprite Gallery Added
CURRENT NEWS - Ok, granted, the gallery is small ... *cough* it's hard trying to find these things. Don't worry. It will grow. I also put a link to the section under LoZ Related Articles (and also did a bit of rearranging with the links over there). Oh, and don't worry, on that page the portion with the sprites has the "no right click" feature turned off so you can save the sprites - ;) I didn't forget. Expect more things later. Don't ask me what, I'll do something.
COMMENTARY - Since my family couldn't afford cable, we got sattelite dish instead which is actually a lot better here. It got installed yesterday and I got to be the first one to watch TV. I was really just flipping through channels and happened to settle on one that had a favorite show of mine coming on... however, before it came on... there was a single commercial that I caught the end of. Of ALL the commercials in the world that one commercial just HAD to be for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker!! ::Taps her foot:: The world's after me, isn't it. "Hehehee, MagicFox, this game is out and you can't buy it, you don't even have a Gamecube, hehehe." *Sniffle* That wasn't funny. *Sniffle* ::Sits down, pouts, and then cries::

March 25, 2003 | Now That The Game TWW Is Finally Out! *Sigh*
UPDATES MADE - Tomorrow...
CURRENT NEWS - Ok, now that the The Wind Waker is finally out (and I HOPE Doh will get to work quickly on his section as he finds things) if anyone would be interested in writing the walkthrough for the game please fill out the form and get ready to turn in a portion - I don't know the game myself but if it's like regular games you should do the beginning up and through the first dungeon. If this is too much then turn in a small piece from the beginning and then the first dungeon (I WANT to see how you cover the dungeons #1). Remember, if you can come up with some way to do maps that earns extra kudos though it's not expected. If the form is not working for you then please submit an e-mail to magicfox64@hotmail.com and disclosed in the e-mail please submit the information for the things mentioned in the form.
COMMENTARY - That reminds me... what's happened to The Eighth Sage, I thought he was going to do the Master Quest walkthrough?? ::Mutters:: I had to tell at least three people that this position was already taken ::taps her foot:: I hope a certain somebody keeps his word and turns something in SOON!! ~ Uhh... The Sprite Gallery, yeah, I'm working on it... that will be up tomorrow. I got busy yesterday and today. Sorry.

March 24, 2003 | I'm On A Role. It's Still Morning And Another Update!
UPDATES MADE - For MCLoZ Viewers >> Video/PC Game Reviews *GBA: Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance by Maxine MagicFox Added ~ *Left Navigation Bar Reorganized
CURRENT NEWS - Ok, check out my newest game review for the game Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance for Gameboy Advance. ::Laughs:: You really should since this game has kept me from my hosting duties many times. That reminds me... didn't someone else do a review for another Castlevania game... Hrrrm, I think I'm going to check out my own site and look for that review... I think it was a Playstation game. ((^_^ See, MCLoZ is my favorite site, too, hehehe.))
COMMENTARY - Ok, time to get started on that Sprite Gallery which will help Starfe out since he needs some sprites for our new section dividers. However, that will have to come after my daily chores which I haven't started, yet. ::Looks behind her at the rest of her den:: I have my work cut out for me. Well, until next time, everyone, Tata!!

March 24, 2003 | Good Morning, Everyone! How 'Bout An Update?
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *New Oddity for LttP: "'Good Bee' Reply" by HyperLink / For OoT: "Swordless for the Grey" by HyperLink / For OoT Master Quest: "Fall into the Golden Sky" by Dark Grapefruit ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Items 26 - 31 Added by HyperLink and Zora warior
CURRENT NEWS - I was wondering if someone was ever going to submit a glitch and/or oddity for the Master Quest. Dark Grapefruit has done just that... :( too bad I can't try it out. I wonder if The Wind Waker is going to be a big ole glitch fest, too? ... Doesn't it also come out like today (I haven't been keeping track since I'm so angry and depressed about not getting one). Well, if you guys find anything you know who to send it to! ^_^. The other oddities are fantastic, too, so check those out! And then of course we have more ways to torture and hurt poor Link (we're bad!). Keep sending this stuff in everyone!! ~ Today on my To Do list is my game review and a sprite gallery, so expect more up today.
COMMENTARY - ::Stares out of the window and groans:: It's starting to get warm out. God I hate Georgia!! I hate the heat. I love the cold. Why didn't we get any snow? The north has all the fun. And notice how it waits until I leave CT to do something that big?!! Now I'm stuck here... where's it's SUNNY...

March 23, 2003 | Whoops, I Sorta Did Forget To Mention That, Huh?
UPDATES MADE - *The Toolbar Message
CURRENT NEWS - Whoops, Sangokyu reminded me. ::Laughs:: "What's with the Zola thing" well, Sangokyu wasn't here but before the message had read "Where DOES Link keep all that stuff?" ::Smiles:: Actually, that toolbar is just for my own fun use. There I will put facts and/or funny messages, all of which are Zelda related. These will change weekly (today is Sunday so I changed it, when the site came back up it was Sunday and the message was up) and if my staff members would like to try to get something of their own make up there, just submitted and I'll think about it. Just remember guys, it's gotta be appropriate and Zelda related.
COMMENTARY - !! WELCOME BACK SANGOKYU!!! We've missed you!! ^_^ Next time I see you on you know I'm going to pepper you with questions, hee. A trip to Japan HAD to be fun!!
| Post Time: 4:11 PM EST |
| |
March 23, 2003 | Dude... I'm Back!
UPDATES MADE - none
CURRENT NEWS - Hello! It's me, Sangokyu, back from Japan! Yes, as a news reporter, my eyes were always open for new Zelda news. (Which I found none)
I saw several instances of the Triforce around Japan, such as on jelly jars and buildings. I took some pictures of those instances, sooooo... um.. yea.
I also went to a temple where I swear I saw the Forest Medallion.
Well, I'm back. I'm glad the site is back up, but what is with that Zola thing? Hunh?....
COMMENTARY - Well, the news basically WAS the commentary!

March 23, 2003 | What Happened To The Sprite And Art Gallery?
UPDATES MADE - For MCLoZ Viewers >> The Zelda Fan-Fic Library *Renovated
CURRENT NEWS - Alright, I gave that whole section a bit of an upgrade and also placed up rules for submittion. I'm still wondering whatever happened to them in the first place. ::Shakes her head:: Strange. ~ Starfe is busy on our new site dividers!! ^_^ E-mail him to tell him to keep it up (lgz lout might stop working if we don't continously rag on him), hee. ~ Now since Starfe has been working on these new dividers it reminded me (since he needs sprites) that I still need to do that sprite and art gallery I promised everyone I would add up. So, I'm going back to work on that. First the sprite gallery. I will have at least "some" up tomorrow, I promise.
COMMENTARY - ::Grins:: I finished Castlevania two days ago, expect me to add up a game review sometime soon. ^_^ Though I beat it, would you believe I'm not done playing it. I'm now doing the HARD GAME mode. I'll give my comments on that mode when I do the review.

March 20, 2003 | Is That It? Can I Go Play Now? Castlevania!!!
UPDATES MADE - The Legend of Zelda >> LoZ: Link's Awakening >> 20 Secret Seashells *Updating Completed ... Sorta
CURRENT NEWS - Actually, the section is now known as "26 Secret Seashells". (And in the case of that "sorta" probably later known as 27/28 Secret Seashells.) ::Nods:: That page is now completely edited and changed and I'm sure you'll find it all to your liking. Hey! Pretty good since it's all from memory. I haven't played this game in a few months!! However, I assure you it's all correct since I double checked with the walkthrough.
COMMENTARY - I will be back at another time with whether or not those other two Seashells exist. If someone wants to help me out and confirm their existance and assure me that I'm not crazy, I would be most greatful indeed!! Until then... >:] I got some game-age to catch up on. Tata!!

March 20, 2003 | I Know I'm Not Confused But... Something's Wrong
UPDATES MADE - For MCLoZ Viewers >> The Zelda Fan-Fic Library >> The Missing Link by HyperLink Edited and Updated
CURRENT NEWS - Alright, I have just placed up "all" of the chapters that was currently sent to me. Also, while putting up those last few chapters I noticed a mistake I made and I feel I owe an apology to HyperLink. I totally forgot to take note of all the things he italicized (is that a word?) and well... they weren't. I have gone through and edited those. ^_^ You have to forgive me. For those special document effects I have to through the entire story finding them and then inserting codes. Give me a break, ok. Note to HyperLink: if I missed anything else, send me an e-mail!! ~ Yeah! I found my Z4 walkthrough booklet. Problem is... it goes right along with those sites. Why is that a problem? Well, there are 26 seashells in all, however... according to these guides... I somehow got two others that were in different locations when I was playing the game for the first few times!! If my memory serves me correct there is, in fact, 27 or 28 Secret Seashells. I'm going to go through and play both versions of the game and get the ones I'm thinking about (just to double check my memory) however, until then, I will go ahead and put up the shells that everyone else has listed.
COMMENTARY - For general information, the shells I'm thinking of - one is located west of the Face Shrine. In the screen with the owl statue that say something about "heros" (it's been a while since I last played) there is a stone in a corner of another bit of land. There's a seashell there that isn't listed anywhere else. And also in the west Tal Tal Mountains I believe (I might be mistaken) there is a chest up there that gives you a seashell. Something's up. Either my memory is screwing me up or ;) MagicFox found something that I don't think other sites have listed or the official booklet (the latter of which is never surprising, the officials always turn out to be the idiots, anyway).

March 19, 2003 | MCLoZ Is More Organized Than MagicFox's Den
UPDATES MADE - The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: Link's Awakening >> 20 Secret Seashells *Updated
CURRENT NEWS - Where's that book? *Crash* *Bang* *Bump* Ooowwww... *Creeeeaaaaak* EEEEEEEEEEK!!!! >> -Few minutes later- ::Runs in brushing dust off her brown robe and out of her fur, a few bumps and bruises noticable:: Hi!! Uhh... actually... I'm not done with that section. Only half done. I meant to go through and edit the organization of the actual "where's the shells" part but since I wanted to include the other seashells... I can't. Uhh... I did check a few other sites but... there were a few inconsitencies... so, I'm looking for my Z4 official walkthrough book to see if that clears things up... if not... MagicFox is going to have to replay the game getting all the Shells the sites and the book list and seeing what the HECK is going on... So, I didn't even touch the bottom half of that section (and therefore the errors are still there) but once I find that book tomorrow I'll be able to do SOMETHING... ((if it comes to re-playing the game I will at least edit what I have currently and add the others at a later date)).
COMMENTARY - ^_^ Hope you like it!! I thought that atlas would be better than that silly thing I had up that... well, did actually teach me a lot about how to make tables. ::Laughs:: That seashell document was actually the second oldest document on the site after the Z5 Skulltula locations. Anyways, more tomorrow!! Tata!

March 19, 2003 | The Problem With Midnight Castle Is It's 4 Years Old
UPDATES MADE - For MCLoZ Viewers >> The Zelda Fan-Fic Library *"The Missing Link" Ch Prologue - 3 by HyperLink Added ~ *All Site Forms Updated
CURRENT NEWS - ^_^ The first part of HyperLink's story is up!! There is still more in my box, he sent in up through chapter 6 but give me a break, ok! ~ Also, the same person, HyperLink, informed me yesterday that the redirection links when you hit the submit button were no longer valid - they were still redirecting to the old address. I have updated those... though, if you see a form that is still doing it I apparently must have missed it. Please contact me if you find one!! ~ Uhh... returning to HyperLink's story, well, not really his but the whole Library, it's going to to go through a make over. However, first thing first is the re-edit a few Z4 and Z5 pages. As the title states, the problem with Midnight Castle is it is four years old... so are half of those documents in those sections. Secret Seashells is the one that needs it MOST. A fan pointed out the other day that one of those locations was incorrect ((well, actually, she just asked me "where the heck's the shell?" and I'm the one that noticed it on the page)). At any rate I'm going to revise that today! Then I'll hit a few other pages and then I'll fix up that Library and also get some submittion rules up there. What happened?? I thought I had submittion rules up on that page? I did last design... I think I lost them in the coming of this design a year ago... oh my...
COMMENTARY - Let's see... revise Zelda sections Link's Awakening and Ocarina of Time perhaps a few other pages in other sections, we'll see. Then I have to revise the Library and then the staff page. ::Blinks:: And when I'm done with all of that I still have my z3 walkthrough to go through and edit! EEEEEK!! *Sigh* So much. ::Fingers her nightgown collar:: First let me get my shower for the day and then I'll spend this entire day dedicated to MCLoZ... ::stares longily at her GBA and Castlevania but carefully tucks it away into an out-of-site spot:: It will be there when I get back.
Oh btw... uhh... in the recent server change... I've lost over 300+ viewers!! Ack!! Where'd they all go!? I'm guessing either they still think MCLoZ is down or they don't know the new address... ^_^ Can I call on those of you who are still visiting MCLoZ to e-mail ANY MCLoZ fan you know to give them the heads' up and to tell them to also spread the word? :\ This is kinda discouraging. I finally get a domain name but I'm back where I started with my daily visits. COME BACK EVERYONE!!!

UPDATES MADE - For MCLoZ Viewers >> Video/PC Game Reviews *PS2: Red Faction II by Vampiric Crow Added
CURRENT NEWS - My first PS2 review is up. Check it out.
COMMENTARY - Well, this is my very first update. It's kinda cool how it all works. Anyway, I just got broadband so my computer is screamin' fast. (Internet wise that is)

March 18, 2003 | Reporting In And Announcing Upcoming Updates
UPDATES MADE - None Yet
CURRENT NEWS - Sorry, I was out Sunday and yesterday I wasn't in the mood to work on MCLoZ, however, today I am (and I did get a review done of Vampiric Crow's which he will announce later) but the problem is... all of my current projects can't be handled in a day... so maybe "possibly" later tonight, but definitely tomorrow. THAT'S A PROMISE!! I'm coding the Fan Fiction, redoing a page in Z4, and redoing that Staff page. ^_^ The only way you can hear from me is if someone submits an oddity or a list item.
Also, please do not forget to visit our Forums or vote at the Polls!!
COMMENTARY - Well... yesterday was not helped by the fact that three days ago I picked up a game I hadn't played since Christmas: Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance for GBA. ^_^ I'm rather enjoying it again and... ::blushes:: I spent all yesterday playing it. Forgive me ^_^. ::Taps her foot:: Pardon me!! Who updates nearly everyday!! I deserve a break!! :P I deserve time out to play video games just like the rest of you who come here. Anyways, I'll get to work on the stuff above... uhh... after playing another hour of Castlevania. Don't worry, though, I keep my promises!!

March 16, 2003 | To The Two Fastest Growing Sections On MCLoZ
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *Oddities for LttP: "Bees vs Mothula" by EternalDreams / Oddities for OoT: "Dive, dive!" "Swordless Link" "Items on Epona" "Sulltulas Galore" all by HyperLink and "Arrow in Someone's Head" by samuel / Oddities for MM: "Supernatural Kafei" by HyperLink ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Items 22-25 by theatrebrad and Dark Link ~ MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Link to Midnight Castle *Links/Buttons Edited
CURRENT NEWS - ^_^ Lot of Oddities sent in!! Most are by HyperLink who sent them in all at one time in an e-mail outside the form - note: I don't mind others doing this as well especially if the form is for some reason not working for them, however, you MUST MUST make sure to include ALL items of the form, otherwise they aren't going up. ((Bees vs Mothula .... hrrrrm... Maxine's got a new trick to try!!)) ~ Now to tackle that fan fiction!!
COMMENTARY - Hey!! Umm... ::Laughs:: Problem with Josh giving me this domain as a surprise ... *cough* most of my viewers were still visiting mcloz.kzoo6.com so... if ANY site could post news on their site telling viewers that we are now mcloz.com that would be GREATLY appreciated. *Sigh* Oh dear... I can't wait until my affiliates change their links. ::Blinks:: My TopSites need changed, too!!
| Post Time: 10:10 AM EST |

March 16, 2003 | Welcome Back Midnight Castle!!
UPDATES MADE - Coming Soon...
CURRENT NEWS - MCLoZ is back online. Furthermore, I now have the codes edited (result: notice title, toolbar, and link hover) and in case you might be wondering what happened to "mcloz.kzoo6.com" it no longer exists. MCLoZ is now officially www.mcloz.com!! That is our domain!! No "sub" domain, though our host is still Josh and he is hosting mcloz.com. ::Nods:: And the server is INDEED faster. Ok, anyways, enough with the talk. I will starting getting busy right away (possibly in the morning). I have several oddities, one or two torture list items, and a fan fic! Now there's a surprise!!!
COMMENTARY - Oh, you will notice the affiliates list is "cleaned" as well as that little button section is cleaned. I have also taken down the quick links to staff e-mail boxes. >:] I think I have a final solution to that staff page. That's coming up, too (I TOLD you guys I was not satisfied with it). On another note: as I said I altered a LOT of codes and also in my uploading frenzy I might have missed one or two things - if anyone notices ANY broken links and/or peculiar effects on pages CONTACT ME AT ONCE!!!! Give me the details of what page it's on and what's going on with it. I shouldn't have made any mistakes and I myself will be sifting through the pages a few at a time but ^_^ many heads are always better than one. Well, until next, Tata!!

March 6, 2003 | Surprising And Alarming News!!!
UPDATES MADE - None... for a while
CURRENT NEWS - Ack!! I just talked to my host Josh (Nathan sent me a peculiar e-mail). It seems Josh had sent an e-mail to a wrong address and it would have alerted me sooner to this news. MCLoZ will be shut down temporarily. Josh is switching servers to a much faster one. MCLOZ WILL BE DOWN!! And when the server comes back up... I will have to reload EVERYTHING. *Sigh* Annoyance. Wish I had had more time to prepare this. Oh well. Since we aren't too sure when it's suppose to happen (was suppose to be today) and for how long I guess I will spend the time going through the files and editing the coding as I promised would happen on the 17th. I hope this doesn't take long. MCLoZ will be back, I PROMISE!! This is just something that I have absolutely no control over whatsoever. *Sigh*
COMMENTARY - Note: Updates will be shut down until the server change. If the site has not been taken down by Wednesday I will resume. However, until then, the best I can do is just answer e-mails and so forth. The form items you fill out will NOT be placed up until after the server change. It's all just going to stay in my mailbox. To my staff (especially Starfe) this does not mean you can slack off. At least you Starfe can give the visitors a surprise when we come back.
Staff: Do not make an update unless you do not wish it to be saved in the update archives!!

March 6, 2003 | The Wind Waker
UPDATES MADE - The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: The Wind Waker *New Section
CURRENT NEWS - The Wind Waker section has now been officially opened!
And with some great content to kick the section off to a good start, thanks to Sangokyu for submitting some scans of the preview pamphlet for the game. So go their to check out the latest from the game.
COMMENTARY - So here goes I shall try and attempt to write a longer commentary.
Edit 1 * it was too long so I cut it
Edit 2 * Yep still too long
So there I wrote a longer commentary than Max! *Looks at commentary* Oh...I cut it too much. Look honestly I wrote a longer commentary than Max *cough*... Oh okay I give in! I didn't write a longer commentary, but you know one day I will, I have a plan!! (How does a fully fledged investigation in the commentary sound to you? *cackles*). Well take care ^_^

March 6, 2003 | *Sigh* I'll Get It Too.... One Day...
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Item 21 by The Cow Added
CURRENT NEWS - Yet another list item added to the ever growing list of pure fun!! ~ You will notice that I have moved the Cosplay page from the LoZ Related Articles section to the For MCLoZ Viewers section. It just wasn't receiving enough popularity and it just didn't go with the section in my own opinion anyway. ~ I have GOT to take down those jobs in the Job list. *Sigh* Will I ever get to that? ~ The new sections are coming along great! ::Blinks:: But where's Starfe. He hasn't said anything about the new dividers, yet. ::Pokes him:: You have another job to do. In the section that Doh will announce it later is an image that needs to be shrunk to a height of 200 and how about you add a bit of transparency to it?? (I'll e-mail this to you as well.) Hrrrm... or maybe not... I'm thinking of a new idea for the game images. ::Shrugs:: I'll continue thinking. Starfe, at least be on tomorrow regular time, please, if not tonight.
COMMENTARY - ::Runs off back to work:: Keep sending in the fan stuff everyone!! ^_^ I'm enjoying putting it up! Doh will announce something later, until then, I'm sure you can find it if you look hard enough. ((Do you think Doh will actually manage this time to make a commentary as long as mine?? .... Nah.))

March 5, 2003 | MagicFox Disappearing For Upcoming Things
UPDATES MADE - None
CURRENT NEWS - Alright, this morning I wake up and take a look at the site and decide that there are a few things missing from my site. ::Shrugs:: There's probably a lot of things but I do know at least two things: an Image Gallery and a Sprite Gallery. Starfe is also now working on some new section dividers that are more Zelda-ish. I hope they come out looking great. I also have to go through and edit that Z3 Walkthrough and then I plan to put up a list of all the changes in the Four Swords re-make of LttP. And then I hope me and Starfe can get back to work on the Z3 Monster Strategy Guide. Now, unfortunately, all of these things aren't something that I can put up in just "one day". So, daily updates by me at any rate are not possible. However, I promise that when Staff or Fans submit things, I will attend to them first thing so you will at the very least hear from the staff or hear from me when I announce the fan stuff. I don't expect I should be too long, just a day or two, but this stuff will take time. So, until next time, Tata!
COMMENTARY - To the staff: go ahead and send in things regularly. Don't think my absense means anything for you guys. I will still continue to check e-mail regularly.

COMMENTARY - One more try to make a longer commentary than Max! Here goes...Ah no, can't do it. One day I will be able to do it, just you peeps wait and see. Take care peeps ^_^

March 3, 2003 | An 11th Zelda Game Now Predicted?? Rumor??
UPDATES MADE - The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: A Link to the Past >> The Game Walkthrough *Section I-II edited for errors.
CURRENT NEWS - Uhh... I promise I will do it a lot faster than this. ::Shrugs:: Just after I did everything for my staff today I decided I deserved a break... uhh, and Inuyasha was just so good that I couldn't stop watching. *Cough* More walkthrough edits coming!! ~ On Zelda Universe (zeldauniverse.net) it has been posted that the next upcoming Zelda game for the Gamecube will show up in E3! Thanks to shy_link for pointing this out to me!
COMMENTARY - Don't expect too many updates tomorrow. Uhh... why? *Cough* Nevermind that. Just don't expect too many! ~ Note to Sangokyu and Doh (too lazy to make an e-mail): if you want me to put that information Sangokyu sent in (SWEET) then Doh had better get cracking and at least make an intro page so I can make the section it will appear in!! DOH, GET BUSY ^_^ !! Tata everyone!

March 2, 2003 | Small Update Before Bed - More Tomorrow *Sigh*
UPDATES MADE - For MCLoZ Viewers >> The Zelda Fan-Art Gallery *Four New Pictures Submitted by Lilleah
CURRENT NEWS - Our regular artist Lilleah has submitted some more of her fantastic art work! View it in the gallery!! ~ I have quite a bit to attend to tomorrow - so far Doh's Investigation, Angel's latest game review, and something by Sangokyu about The Wind Waker that I have yet to look over. Furthermore I then have to fix up the Join the Staff page: The Eighth Sage is doing the TWW and Master Quest walkthroughs (the latter should be coming in soon, hopefully). Then Doh has agreed to being the TWW Section Manager. So those two sections are taken!!
COMMENTARY - *Sigh* Miss one day and the work just piles right up on you. ::Pouts:: That's not fair!! *Sigh* Oh well... all part of the job of WebMaster. And then after I finish with the above work I still have to edit my own walkthrough. Ack! Oi, so much so much. ^_^ But I love it. - Don't forget. Our new "convenient" address is: www.mcloz.com. Thanks yet again to Josh, our wonderful host!!

March 2, 2003 | Great Things Come In Small Packages
UPDATES MADE - The Zelda Poll *Zelda Domain Poll Added ~ *MCLoZ New Address: http://www.mcloz.com
CURRENT NEWS - Ok, first thing first. One of my best friends, Nathan of Zelda Domain, is doing a survey for school and has asked me if I would put up his poll for him. It is located under Zelda Poll and I would like for everyone to vote, please and help him out!! Thanks!! ~ Next and just as important. Both me and Nathan are under the same host - Josh. ::Twirls in chair:: As a terrific surprise for the both of us Josh has pulled some money out of his pocket for us. At the moment it is only a forwarding service but later on in the year it will be more than just that. All you have to do to view the change is type in "http://www.mcloz.com". FINALLY I'M A .COM SITE!!! ::Hugs Josh:: THIS IS FANTASTIC!! ^_^ I'm SOOOO happy!! Nathan's site can now be reached at http://www.zeldadomain.net. We are both EXTREMELY happy and we all owe a LOT to Josh our fantastic host!! WHOOO!! Go Josh!!
COMMENTARY - *Sniffle* This makes my tummy feel so much better. www.mcloz.com. *Sniffle* Fantastic. *Sniffle* I'm SOOO happy. In a week when I clean out my affiliates list I will e-mail my existing affiliates and ask them to update their links to my site. ^_^ This is FANTASTIC!
Final note: Last night I said that I was trying to figure out the "time" thing. I think I have figured it out and will be trying to put it in. I will post and add on when I am finished - and hopefully you will see it. Expect errors! I apologize ahead of time for any.
Add on: DONE!! ^_^ That is my (hopefully) final change to my updates. I think it looks SWEET! ^_^ At any rate, this is the time when each of us makes our posts. ::Shrugs:: Thought it would be informative. Umm, I realize some of my staff is on a different timezone but they don't control this. It is set for an EST timezone.

March 2, 2003 | Nothing Can Keep Me Down For Long... *Groan*
UPDATES MADE - Affiliates and Stuff *Zelda Forest has now become Zelda Phoenix ~ LoZ Related Articles >> The Beta Zelda Files >> TBZF Comments By Fans *File 4 Comment by Evan Added ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Items 19 and 20 by kefka24 and Stephanie Added
CURRENT NEWS - That's all I have to show for today. Be happy you got anything :P. Tomorrow (if I'm feeling better) I will start editing the walkthrough. However if I don't and if there are few updates this wee, don't be too surprised. ^_^ Dad's coming home this week and tomorrow we are going to spend getting things ready (homecoming party, anyone?) and so forth and on. Just warning at any rate.
COMMENTARY - ^_^ Awww, thanks Sangokyu and Angel. *Sigh* It's nice to know that people love me. I appreciate your words, both of you!!
Note: With many things that aren't to my liking I'm going to mess around with and edit them. The Updates thing included. Same drill as last time when I did a few alterations. Expect the chance for errors to occur (last time's got pretty funny) but hopefully nothing like that will happen this time. I will place an add on to this update when I am done. (And you'll see the change, too.)
Add on: Done! Only one error and that was made simply copying and pasting codes (since this was design I could first test it off site). ^_^ Isn't it cuuuute?! I love Z3 sprites. However, I'm not quite so much "done". You see that left corner on the same line. I'm going to figure out some way to set up a "time" system for when the post was made. However, that becomes more complicated since I have to learn how to do it. So, expect that in the near future (I know it can be done...somehow).

March 1, 2003 | Maxine Is Sick!?
UPDATES MADE - none
CURRENT NEWS - Well, Maxine is sick. Pray for her!
I'm working on some things for MCLoZ, so I'm just waiting for Max to reply. I'm trying to do something with the Wind Waker.
COMMENTARY - I have my Dentist's kids over today. They are about 4 or 5-ish.
Nice kids, my brother set up Super Smash Brothers Melee for them. I can see why they say four year olds ask 485 questions a day... whew!
Perhaps one day they will be Zelda fans, for the first characters they picked were Link and Young link!
Oh yea, I'm at Ganondorf in OoT. His cape is like a carpet or something!

March 1, 2003 | Awwwwww, Poor Maxine
UPDATES MADE - None
CURRENT NEWS - Looks like Maxine(MagicFox)has managed to get herself sick.
COMMENTARY - Happy Spring (Almost)! I have been forced by my parents to only go on the computer for 30 minutes!AHHH! But...I can still write reviews for as long as I want because it's offline! And I don't think sending the to Maxine is going to take 30 minutes.

March 1, 2003 | It's Another New Month - You Know The Routine
UPDATES MADE - MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Past Updates Archives *February 2003 Added
CURRENT NEWS - ::Nods:: Ok, the usual. February's update log has been moved to the archives. Welcome to March the 1st! ~ Sorry, yesterday I sorta failed the Scrambler and I doubt I'll be doing much today. MagicFox has a sick tummy. That was not part of my plans so *sigh*. At any rate, I wanted to do this and now, I'm going back to bed. ~ Doh's Investigation came in (just in time for the last day of February ^_^) and I will get that when I'm feeling better.
COMMENTARY - Nighty-night. Please excuse today's lack of updates. Hopefully I'll feel better enough later to do one or two things.
