I'm back! You're stunned, I know. It's hard to believe that the Forum Digest would return after a month of absence. I humbly apologize. Blame the fact that I moved from Georgia to Rhode Island and thence to Colorado all in the space of three weeks. But I'm back now, and I'm going to try to keep a regular schedule.

For the sake of my few remaining threads of sanity, I'm going to only examine this past week. Nothing happened on the forum during the rest of the hiatus, capiche? Everyvun vas on vacation!!!

In The News
- One of our Inmates Emeritus posts from... Switzerland?
- There is still ever so much news you do not need to know!
- Someone builds an ENIAC-style computer in Little Big Planet! This is simply too cool, folks.
- Are American members of Club Nintendo to no longer be treated as second-class citizens?
- Glass Joe returns!!!
- Need to go back to childhood? Play Megaman 9!
- Fresh evidence (as if we needed it) that JYB is the awesome.
- Exercise held on the P-Bombing range!

- The Person Above You has recently passed the 1800 post mark. Schwankyendaro!
- Chained Word/Phrase Association is almost at the 1500 post mark! Holy cow.

And that's it for this (admittedly abbreviated and overdue) Forum Digest. Normal transmission will resume next week!

Nintendo will be releasing Punch-Out!! 3 before the end of this year on the Nintendo Wii, and after watching the above trailer I have to admit that I couldn't be happier. It's nice to see that Nintendo hasn't forgotten about all of us hardcore gamers that happen to own a Wii. Other Wii games for hardcore people that Nintendo has recently announced also include Sin & Punishment 2, as well as a WiiWare version of the legendarily famous Cave Story! Furthermore, there's also going to be ports of Metroid Prime 1 and 2 with Metroid Prime 3 style controls added to them. Oh happy days!

As those intrepid enough to read the forum know, Archangel and I have moved together into an apartment. My legs and arms are ridiculously sore from moving couches, beds, a stereo cabinet, shelves, and more boxes then you can shake a stick at.

The good news is the hard part is done. The bad news? Qwest internet wont be installed for a few weeks. AA and I found a free wifi in the area (entitled "camp to belong" which is not locked), so we can come online to post a few things here and there but don't expect heavy site updates from us until Qwest gets us set up. Those lazy louts. *shakes fist violently*

Right now I'm at work, and Archangel should be hunting for a bed (my folks lent him an airbed, but that's only so comfy). I imagine once he's done that, he'll post the, once again, late forum digest. But I wanted to let everyone know what was going on.

So see you all on the forums and such.

Welcome back, all! I hope that moving is a sufficient excuse for missing a week again. Please don't lynch me. I'm allergic to lynchings.

Arts & Entertainment
- As you have doubtless heard, CTU-17 has debuted! Come and discuss!
- Patchwork Family page 46! Come talk about it!
- Work-Study episode 77! (Threadzorz)
- Super Mario Bros Unlimited #26! (Thready)
- Six new movie reviews from Brett!

At long last Chrono Trigger Unglued - Episode 17: "Let's D-D-Duel!" is currently available on Newgrounds, it will also be made available on the Ultra Publications website as soon as possible.

Yep, after a bit more work than I originally thought it would take (it's a shorter episode, but parts of it took a ridiculously disproportionate amount of work), I finally have Episode-17 of CTU ready for your flash perusing pleasure. The script to Episode 18 is already written, and so is most of the preproduction, so Ideally I'd like to have it out before the end of this year (and there's no parts in it that should be difficult, either). However, this is one new snag in all of this. I now have a job at Wal-Mart of all places, it somewhat makes me wonder why I bothered to become a College Graduate in the first place. Oh well, it's all I can really do without any actual job experience. *SIGH*

Anyways, maybe with some help from all of you this will be the third episode of CTU in a row to get a daily trophy (one of the top five NG submissions for the day).
