Short Notes & Donuts
We were busy today installing some new office equipment to help with our N-Gage research (see picture), so let’s do a quick roundup of the news:
• I added six new Space Impact Kappa Base videos today. An exciting side-scrolling arcade shooter, SIKB was available in First Access and is expected back in the Showroom “real soon now.”
• Ewan Spence over at All About N-Gage has got Quake 2 shareware running on his N-Gage compatible Nokia device! Definitely for the more technically inclined amongst you, and remember, it’s totally unsupported and unofficial.
• Pocket Gamer has launched a new “industry insider” column called “The Bee.” It’s all very mysterious: “Who is The Bee? I am The Bee. I am busy with the video gaming industry. My name is private so I am The Bee!” No N-Gage tidbits yet, but this might be one to watch.
• I got a note RedLynx today, whom you know as the creators of Pathway to Glory and High Seize for the original game decks as well as the mysterious “Project White Rock” for the new generation. They tipped me off about a totally different game they’ve created, RedLynx Trials 2 Second Edition. It’s a full-fledged 3D PC game, not a mobile game, but there’s a free trial you might like.
• Redrum was sent home today for disciplinary reasons. There was only one donut left on the kitchen counter, and as everyone knows, the last donut belongs to Congested. Nah, just kidding. RR took a much needed personal day. Have a good one, bro, and bring us back more donuts.
And all of you out there have a great weekend!

Coming this FALL?? Wow, that’s a little further away than expected :S Oh well, hopefully this means added features or polished gameplay or whatever - seeing as how complete the game seemed during First Access.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Good luck untangling them wires >

oops, looks like my previous post suffered the curse of the “less than” chevron… or more than… or whatever it is.
Anyway, i was saying it looks worse than down the back of my PC even after i tidied just some of it up!
But i’m off to play some good old DOS games on a Win98 machine.

gm, putting a smiley after a offensive sentence doesnt make it ok.

i m not able to log into arena from website using my player name nor by my ngage app player name. My website player name is jalholic and app player name is emaad1992
April 14th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
emaad, this is no longer first access,this is the full release. you will be using the same player name in the forums and application.
since you have 2, I suggest you from now on login to the forums with your emaad1992 name.

thanks for the advice shadowspawn! But when i login using app player name i get a page displaying ‘the requested url/ngi html resulted in an error’. By the way i access the site from my n81
April 15th, 2008 at 10:21 am
N-gage is already dead? Where is new games?
April 15th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Shadowspawn, have the videos shown up yet?
April 17th, 2008 at 9:02 am
Dunno ikona, I’m guessing I just had slow interenet
If anyone has followed my blog they should know my N81 is in repairs. And my N81 is my primary “portal” to the intraweb. So my presence here is going to be seldom for a few weeks.

my showroom application doesn’t work . Is it because of my phone or is the showroom currently maintaining ?
