Sure, you've played
Final Fantasy VII, but what about
Final Fantasy Extreme? You've played
EarthBound, but what about
Earth Bound (two words). You know all about
Dragon Quest VIII, but are you familiar with
Dragon Quest: Young Yangus and the Mystery Dungeon? There's a whole world of forgotten, canceled games out there just waiting to be discovered. Let 1UP's Jeremy Parish and Frank Cifaldi be your guides in an exploration of
The Best Games That Never Were.

I know from playing the video games of that era that tiny sprites can be very powerful. Maybe it’s because we can project a lot of emotion onto them, or maybe because they’re small and they have big eyes and big heads like children. I don’t know. The Adventures of Ledo & Ix, along with an interview with the filmmaker.

The 2009 Super Mario Marathon will kick off this Friday as three gamers from Lafayette, Indiana jump their way through 25 years of Mario games to benefit the
Child's Play Charity. The marathon will be broadcast live online and you can track their
level progress at the site. Viewers of the event will have the opportunity to win some Mario-themed prizes. If old-school RPGs are more your thing, the
Final Fantasy Marathon, also live online, also with prizes, will be kicking off July 17 to benefit
ACT Today.

The Historian of Things That Never Were: Edgar Governo collects timelines, chronologies, and histories of events that never happened, to people and things that never existed. Like who? Like Dr. Who, and Final Fantasy VII, Gargoyles, Buckaroo Bonzai, Gulliver's Travels, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and many more.

One of these things is just a bit unlike the others: The Wired Rave Awards (whatever they are) category list includes a "Cultural Innovator" category to select a person who is "changing our creative landscape. A talent whose work has a profound effect on our culture." The names:
- Ang Lee, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
- David Chase and James Gandolfini, The Sopranos
- Evan Williams, Blogger
- Hironobu Sakaguchi, Final Fantasy
- Thomas Krens, Director of Guggenheim Museums Worldwide
I don't know where to start.

It's raining cats and dogs this summer! GEEZ!
Pearl Harbor,
Shrek, and
The Mummy Returns are already in the theaters. This weekend we get
Swordfish,
Evolution, and even
Atlantis: The Lost Empire in limited release. What's next? Oh nuthin. Just stuff
Angelina Jolie's been kicking around,
Eddie Murphy's little pet project, something
Jay & Silent Bob tossed off in the shower,
Stephen Spielberg's thoughtful adult film coupled with his
token bloodfest for the kiddies...
Final Fantasy,
Planet of the Apes,
Kiss of the Dragon, a painfully predictable looking sequel to
American Pie, a predictable but funny-lookin' sequel to
Rush Hour, and a predictable sequel to
Scary Movie,
and the ever present
SO MUCH MORE! I skipped half the movies coming out but those are the highlights. Is this gonna be the best summer blockbuster festival ever thrust upon the world's populous, or are we true fans of cinema about to once again take it up the ass? Whatcha think?

The New Trailer for Final Fantasy triggered my drool reflex. The summer of 2001 is when it comes out. The next likely game company to make a movie seems like Blizzard after watching all the mini-movies in Diablo 2.

Here are a few neat links.
V.I.S. Services is the press releases site for the Vatican.
ZapZone is really cool. The gimmick is that a Webmaster sets up ZapZone to look like his site, and ZapZone offers free e-mail to the Webmaster's users. Lastly, I really enjoyed Final Fantasy VII, especially the music.
Zaphiroth's Final Fantasy VII Site has a great MIDI colleciton.
