Comments Fixed and after Catch-ups Business will Resume

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

All right, the comment system on Game influence is fixed. The comment system, the fact that I’ve been busy with my new girlfriend, the fact that I’ve been busy posting on my new forum (Nintendo Destination), the fact that posting on a forum is easer to do then blog post, and the fact that I’ve been busy with school have been the reasons I haven’t been posting recently. So after I do some catch-up post on Game Influence, the site should be back to business as usual.

Yoshi and Mario Chainsaw Carvings

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

I almost forgot to post this. When I say that I’m too busy with work to post on Game Influence, that means that I’m either lying or that means that I’m carving. I made a Yoshi and a Mario. I carved the Yoshi before the Mario. The carvings are stained, not painted. So you can see the grain and the color wont chip off like it would if it was covered with paint. I finish carving each character within 5-6 hours, and the staining process took about an hour each. I’ve only put two coats of sealer (Spar Urethane made by Minwax) on the two carvings. I would put another coat on it before I sell them; ask me, by the way, if your interested in buying one of them.

I’m might make a huge Mario carving, but outside of that, I don’t have any ideas on what video game charicters I should carve next. What character do you think should be my next video game carving?

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Game Influence is looking for writers to help to keep the site up to date with gaming news and events. I recently added Rami to the team, but for Game Influence to become the site that I envisioned it to one day be, more writers are needed. A writer must be able to write at a collage level, and be able to produce at least one post every week. A writer must have some Paint/Photoshop skills, and a writer must have a small understanding of HTML.

If you are at all interested in writing for Game Influence, please either contact me at my e-mail (WritersApplication@GameInfluence.com), or preferably, contact me using AIM, my screen name is NEORLK89.

Who Won The NES Game?

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Remember that little drawing I had for a free NES game for your Wii. Well I have the “winner”. But why should I tell you who it is, Instead I’ll just boar you with how the winner was selected. Instead of allowing room for human error, I made a Commodore 64 program(that can be downloaded here) that generates a number assigned to select a winner out of those who entered(listed below in order of entry).

  • 1. Alex
  • 2. Peter
  • 3. Ozzie23
  • 4. Samsan
  • 5. Wuffle
  • 6. Natep
  • 7. Mattmagician
  • 8. meatball07
  • 9. Glacius
  • 10. mark
  • 11. AkuTube
  • 12. Torey
  • 13. Brian
  • 14. jg233
  • 15. R0N1N
  • 16. TriggerNeon
  • 17. G. Foo Chombey

“So who won?”, your asking. Well the program I made, randomly generated the number five, which is the number assigned to user “Wuffle”. I just finished sending Wuffle’s price. And just a friendly reminder, I will most likely do more of these in the future, so be sure to check back for more chances and ways to win.

I’ve been contacted by several people that said they would love to join my upcoming podcast. This guy contacted me by phone. I wouldn’t say his blog is new, but it looks like he’s just starting to “get going”. In that, a large percentages of his post on his blog are recent post, but enough about his statistics. He seemed really eager to join the podcast, and I look forward to having him be a member of the the discussion.

I’m planning on doing a Podcast in the near future. I’m trying to get other blogs to join the PodCast. What do I hope to be the podcast topic of discussion? The gaming industry, Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, upcoming games and basically anything Gaming.

I’ll probably do the legs of the work, or hire out the work. Since I don’t plan on having all of us actually come to the same place, I plan to connect everyone with VOIP, voice chat, or traditional phone lines. have more than one person running your blog, that’s fine, the more the better. If you own a blog, please E-mail me at RLK89@RLK89.com, or better yet, call me at 1-586-212-2999.
