You have not yet unlocked this article.
YOU NEED MORE CREDITS.

How many credits do we need, exactly?

Damn you... sir.... I was hoping to see the epic 100th article, but no, I get redirected... if you wanted to be a dick though, you could have redirected it to a Lemon Party with the happy lemons!

Syd, you sly boots. I got all psyched up.

Posted: Oct 01 2009 11:52 am

Syd, you have officially blown most of our feeble minds...

Posted: Oct 01 2009 11:53 am

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that there's no way to view the article cause it isn't posted yet. You know, since there are no scripts running on the page or anything, it's just HTML.

Posted: Oct 01 2009 12:11 pm

Yeah, Jeebus is right.

It is an unfinished article that is not completed yet due to fatigue, work, and severe forum addiction.

Its okay Syd. Even if the article itself isn't posted, its kind of nice to know one is on the way.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing little "previews," or at least titles, of articles a week or so before they actually get posted. Not that you really need to *create* interest since people are going to read them no matter what, but it would be kind of cool to see what's coming down the pike before it actually arrives.

I'm onto you, Syd! Val's blind run of Metroid really is the 100th article. You just replaced the Printmaster Plus 2.0 article with that "locked" one.

Indeed, it's a trap.

I just realized that... DAMN YOU SYD!

I'm still questioning his motive in doing this

Posted: Oct 01 2009 03:55 pm

I did? DAMMIT. I generally copy the last article's code then put the new code over it. I thought I copied PMP twice then copied over both copies. I GUESS NOT!

Does this mean I can use

Okay, Syd, I see you've put back the Printmaster Plus 2.0 article. Now could you please man up, admit that you let Val have the 100th article on your site, and get rid of that link that just leads back to the front page? IT'S GAY.

Oh, and once you've done that, could you move the articles at the bottoms of the first through fourth pages to the tops of the second through fifth like you usually do? Please and thank you.

It's interesting how the milestone 100th article has cause some minor drama. It proves how much of an important event it is for the greatest site on the internet.

You should add that screen whenever an article is in waiting, and when it is 25% done, make a flashing graphic that says 1/4 credits, 50% done, 2/4 credits and so forth....just like at the arcade! And I swear to god everytime I put in four quarters without watching the amount of credits thingy go up, it only says 3/4 of a credit..FUCK YOU, I KNOW I PUT FOUR QUARTERS IN!!!

For similar reasons my top-secret Doom MegaWAD only existed in small map fragments. The only map I have saved is some 3 room map with some nukage and a shelf with 3 shotguns and 4 zombies. I might finish it one day.

You guys just jealous because you don't have enough credits like I obviously do.
(Hint: You have to be subscribed to Nintendo Power to be rad enough to earn the credits)

Arf, I used to be subscribed. Does that count? I mean... we are talking early 90's subscription. Surly that retroness carries weight.

Posted: Oct 15 2009 03:11 pm

I was subscribed back in the early 2000s, for some reason. It was so painfully obvious that they were being overly nice in the reviews, I stopped getting it.

Agreed. The only magazine I'd subscribe to is either Game Informer or Play Magazine (I still have to get one for Play).

me too. and i never noticed NP being nice until i read honest reviews in other magazines.

and i thought i would unlock this article by doing the konami code, but no luck.

Nintendo Power is actually pretty fair. They routinely give B-list titles like Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 a 7/10, whereas you'd expect every Nintendo title to get at least 9/10.

Posted: Oct 15 2009 04:12 pm

I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't actually control the magazine anymore.
