Response on Kawaiibunny3 on Miracle Dream Minky Momo

Images from 2004 Manga Spin-Off/Reboot - “Miracle Dream Minky Momo”
I have no idea what the story is about or how it ties in with the original Minky Momo. So here’s the summary from Wikipedia.jp for someone with better Japanese skills than me.

My Response to Kawaiibunny3 on the Third Minky Momo called Miracle Dream Minky Momo:

Miracle Dream Minky Momo was supposed to be the continuation of the first Two Momo series starts where the Third Momo from a dream Kingdom of the mountains "Rurinarsa" to pick up where the Two Momos left off, the First was killed a toy delivery truck and the Second stayed behind and lost her fairy magic. The Third Momo unlike the other two who have a Minky Wand, has a magical leaf called a Minky Leaf which gives her like the other two the ability to transform into an adult. The Third Momo also has magical animal friends, a seal, a squirrel, and a hatched baby flying chick but they don't have names. Unfortunately, this Third Momo project was cancelled after Shudo the Scriptwriter and producer Minky Momo and Pokemon died from lung cancer due to his excessive smoking. Thus the Third Momo from Rurinarsa was only seen in the manga

I don't know why Wikipedia hasn't updated the Minky Momo article to mention the cancellation of the Third Momo Project due to the creator's death. I left a message on the talk page but I will have to remind them again.

UPDATE: My bad Shudo did not create Momo. Ashida was the creator of Minky Momo who died a year after.

RIP Robin Williams

Robin Williams who was known as Mrs. Doubtfire and the Genie was found dead two days ago in his home. His neighbors called 911. The Sheriff reported that it was suicide.

News reports said that Robin Williams recently done cocaine.

Now folks, many liberals will say that Cocaine is safe and should be legalized. It's not. Cocaine is bad, it's illegal, and it will damage your life.

The Question is who will play the Genie in future Kingdom Hearts games?

Goodbye our dear original Genie, Al and Jasmine will miss you.

Yu-Gi-Oh BAM closes on Sept 30

Unfortunately for BAM players on Facebook and Kongregate, this is sad news that Yu-Gi-Oh BAM will be closing on September 30th. The reason why the are closing is because these cheaters. Cheaters have been using illegal hacks that is screwing other players and it's causing Konami to lose profits. Cheaters use illegal hacks to get free Duel Points.  So have fun until it closes.

Before I go let me warn to all of those. Using game hacking software to get free virtual money in game is illegal. Moderators that operate MMORPG games monitor users to see if they are playing fair and buying virtual money responsibly. But if they use a hack to get free virtual money, they are BANNED from the game, they may get BANNED from the internet, and possibly get arrested because using illegal hacks to get free virtual money is theft.

So...

PLAY FAIR
BUY VIRTUAL MONEY RESPONSIBLY
DO NOT USE HACKS.

RIP Yu Gi Oh BAM

Stay Gold

RIP NESbox

It appears copyright maximalists the ESA have shut down NESbox and forced them to remove all the game

Here's the notice from the website FAQ:

Nesbox got 'Notice of Infringement' from Entertainment Software Association (ESA). They want to remove from the Website all links to unauthorized copies of ESA-member content.

There goes our only source to play NES games online. Goes to show how copyright maximalists does this to shut users out who want to play for free.


And to make matters worse the VNES project and Playr is shut down as well.

The last item on their list is force Deviantart to remove the fan art category and ban people from uploading fan art.

Here's the infringment notice:

We are writing on behalf of the Entertainment Software Association (“ESA”), a U.S. trade association that represents the interests of the leading publishers of interactive games for video game consoles, personal computers, handheld devices and the Internet. ESA member companies include, but are not limited to: 505 Games, Activision Publishing, Inc., Blizzard Entertainment, Capcom USA, Inc., Electronic Arts (EA), Epic Games, Inc., Konami Digital Entertainment, Microsoft Corporation, Namco Bandai Games America Inc., Nintendo of America Inc., SEGA of America, Inc., Sony Computer Entertainment America, Square Enix, Inc., Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., and Ubisoft Entertainment, Inc. We are authorized to act on behalf of the ESA members identified above to protect their intellectual property rights in published works when such works are subject to copyright infringement. We are writing to notify you of the extensive infringement of ESA-member copyrights that we believe in good faith to be occurring by virtue of the operation of the website, nesbox.com (“Website”).

During a recent review of the Website, we identified a large volume of links to unauthorized copies of video games, many of which are published by ESA members.

We request that you take immediate steps to remove from the Website all links to unauthorized copies of ESA-member content. Please confirm for us when the removal of infringing content is complete.

We are providing this notice based on our good faith belief that the use of video game software owned by ESA member companies in the manner occurring on the Website is not authorized by the copyright owners, their agents, or the law. The information in this notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, we are authorized to act on behalf of ESA’s member companies, which own or control exclusive rights under copyright that are being infringed in the manner described herein. By providing this notice, neither ESA nor its members waive any claims, rights or remedies. All such claims, rights and remedies are expressly reserved.

Update: There was  server issues with VNES and Playr. But I will still monitor both sites as the ESA is likely targeting them as part of their "Notice and Stay down" procedure. VNES requires Java folks so play at your own risk as Oracle has been slow at patching the security holes. Today they patched 22.

For SNES games, it's still ruins on flash at the Letsplaysnes website, but it won't last that long as that site is targeted by the ESA. 1980games is playable but like I said again and I'll say it this for the last time, "PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK".

Update 2: 404 error on the VNES site. So looks like the games are taken down..

No Studio Ghibli is NOT CLOSING, It's restructuring

Many online news media have mistranslated an article for Japanese newspapers suggesting the Studio Ghibli is going to close its doors. An Anime News Network editor and translator has made the correction.

Studio Ghibli announced they are resturcturing meaning they are focusing on advertisements.
