Sorry for the lack of updates. We've gotten a little bit busy lately. My new Chevy is running just great, but DH's Grand Marquis had a little trouble. Anyway, that's fixed now, and I just wanted to note something:
Somehow, DBDH Arena 2 recently went up a bit in popularity and it seems to have confused some readers. The "Bulma" in that sketch has nothing to do with the Dragon Ball Z character, except for the name, which is where the person that character represents took the name from. Likewise, "Psykosuma" is not a Dragon Ball character. He/she (whatever?) is a prank account that was used primarily by Daryn Versetti, aka, Minerva K Red, to get into arguments with lamers on message boards. The Psykosuma account usually had Flying Omelette's "Harken" character for its avatar, which is why it's described as a cat with a reaper hood and scythe. Anyway, "Bulma" in that sketch was just one of the many people Psykosuma got into arguments with and she had other usernames based on various popular anime and RPG characters, but Bulma was the one she was using the most at the time the sketch was written, so that's the one DH and DB went with.
I have also heard that the Psykosuma prank account was based on a real person who was friends with Kiera and Daryn, but I never personally met or knew him.
FO once told us that she felt DBDH Arena 2 was the weakest of the four DBDH Arena sketches. I'm actually inclined to agree. Most of us feel that DBDH Arena 3 was the best one. We are sorry that you may have been expecting a DBZ fanfiction and instead ended up with a parody of a 7-year-old message board argument, but hey, if you liked it, check out the others! ~James FP~
While FO is still wrestling with her DSL problems over at FlyingOmelette.com, we here at DHN have had some technical difficulties as well. I'd like to mention that all remaining staff members have confirmed that they have switched to using Filezilla for SFTP and we are all using either IE7 or Firefox, so hopefully the recent security problems at Dreamhost won't affect us.
Speaking of remaining staff members, I've removed Morgannon from the list of admins at the top. If we ever hear from her again and she wants her staff position back I'll put her back up, but as it is, I don't see the point in having a "phantom" staff member listed up there, especially when BQ has been doing more work lately and he's not even listed. (Morg's still listed on the "About Us" page since she did contribute some work to the site, most notably, she did the original Guestbook archive.)
I also added Crawl's site to the list of affiliates and bumped him up to the link-exchange section of the Links page. -SethraShnoo
A trip down the tunnel of love in Memory Lane. ~James
Update: 5/2/07
I've got five new pictures in the MS Paint Gallery! ~James
Update: 5/1/07
Hi, this is Bananaquit here! While James was busy reorganizing the front page, I reorganized DBDH Arena. I split the different types of archived posts there up into sections so now it's easier to find what you want and it looks cleaner and neater, too. I also took out that ridiculously stupid final stanza from "Ode to the NOAs". The only reason it was put there is because the original author of the Ode wants to remain anonymous, which meant we had to take out the original final stanza. It ends a bit abruptly without it, but trust me, it's better than what was there.
Oh joyous rapture! I just noticed on the forums that FO made us a link-exchange banner!
I've added it to the Links page. - BQ
Update: 5/1/07
No new material right now, but I reorganized the sections in the menu on the left. I alphabetized all sections, renamed "Site Stuff" to "Other Stuff", moved the "Ezboard Hall of Fame" up to the Community section, and I made a new section called "Creations" for the MS Paint Gallery, Shnoo's Eyerie, and DBDH Arena. I realize DBDH Arena skirts the borderline between "Community" and "Creations", but most of its content is more focused on written works by individuals, and I thought that if I ever try writing some of my own comedy sketches, that's probably where they'll go.
Oh, I guess I did some slight alterations to the "About Us" page, but that's all for right now. ~James FP
Update: 4/30/07
I have a new section called the "MS Paint Gallery" in the menu to your left under "Community". I begin with my take on four of FO's RAU Gallery characters and hope she doesn't find my desecrations too offensive. ~James FP
Update: 4/28/07
We have more CITIZEN JAMES and MEMORY LANE goodness for you today!
I also updated the links page again. ~James FP
Update: 4/21/07
I updated the links page. I changed the link to Sweetbee's Game Hive and added it to the link exchange section. I also revised the site descriptions to be more accurate, up-to-date, and informative. Sorry about the lack of updates the past few days, but we've got some stuff in store. Stay tuned. ~James FP
Update: 4/15/07
I added a bunch of stuff to DBDH Arena, including urobbie's Ode the N-Sider, DST XVII, and the "Purgation of GH64". I also gave that section a new background. It's one of the arenas from WeaponLord. -Bananaquit
Update: 4/14/07
Gaimeguy vs. TermiteJr in MEMORY LANE and some more CITIZEN JAMES silliness. ~James
Update: 4/13/07
I added FO's review of Harvest Moon 64 to the Game Reviews section. - Bananaquit
Update: 4/13/07
Two more MEMORY LANE articles.
And some more adventures with CITIZEN JAMES.
Update: 4/10/07
Sorry that my grammar seemed to give out on me in the last couple of updates, as I left out words that made my sentences a little awkward. Anyway, a few things.
"Memory Lane" got its own section with two new installments.
Just a few more CITIZEN JAMES entries. ~James FP~
Update: 4/7/07
The GH64 Reviews are now in the Game Reviews archive! -Bananaquit
Update: 4/7/07
More fun with CITIZEN JAMES today!
And I have a new Humor Article, The Clumsy Community. Found that topic while looking for Citizen James material and laughed so hard at it, I didn't want it to go to waste. Depending on how many topics I find that I feel are worth saving like that, I may make this a whole new site feature called "Memory Lane". But I don't want to make a whole new section until I have enough stuff for it, otherwise I'll end up with another "Rate the Game" disaster. ~James FP~
Update: 4/6/07
More wacky adventures in CITIZEN JAMES today! ~James FP~
Update: 4/6/07
DH and James here. We've made some slight changes to the organization to this site. Here's a breakdown of what we did:
"Rate the Game" is defunct and probably won't be started up again. Since only one Rate the Game topic was ever archived, there's no point in it having its own section. We put the Super Mario Bros. RTG in the Game Reviews section and de-linked "Rate the Game" from the menu.
I decided to make "Citizen James" its own section as opposed to a sub-section of "Humor". It's now accessible from the menu.
Unfortunately, we've decided that we aren't taking submissions for the site anymore because we have enough of our own stuff to get done and we can't even seem to find time for all of that. Therefore, we deleted "The Crowe Bar" from the message board (Which was the forum for posting site submissions). All the old posts in The Crowe Bar were moved to the "Stairway to Heaven" archive forum.
Update: 4/4/07
By popular request, we have archived TermiteJr's infamous review of The Bouncer!!! Complete in unaltered form!
Update: 4/4/07
More delicious adventures in CITIZEN JAMES today! ~James FP~
Update: 4/2/07
Today, in the humor section, I begin a new feature on this site:
CITIZEN JAMES
A very highly-disturbing look into my sordid ezboard past begins...now.
Update: 3/31/07
I also managed to find Kiera's old review of Secret of Mana. I archived it and added screenshots. It's a bit amateurish (which she admits right in the intro), but still something nice to remember her by. -BQ
Update: 3/31/07
My god! O_O I managed to find DH's long-lost Urban Champion Review on webarchive.org! It was erased in the 2005 hacker attack and DH lost it off her hard drive, so it was believed to be gone forever, but there it is! I even added screenshots. Awesome! -BQ
Update: 3/31/07
BQ one last time tonight. I archived the ANGRY BEEF review of Mikie to the Reviews section, complete with all the screenshots. It's a great read! Funny stuff!
Update: 3/31/07
BQ again. I did a little bit of updating on the Ezboard Hall of Fame. I removed the comment about Ezboard's popups installing spyware because they actually got rid of that problem long ago. I also noted which boards no longer exist due to a combination of the 2005 hacker attack and Ezboard purging for inactivity. I kept the URLs in there so that they can be looked up on archive.org.
Update: 3/31/07
Bananaquit here! This place was in some really dire need of cleanup. First things first, I got rid of the Guestbook. Due to the high spam:legitimate entry ratio, I think we all can agree that keeping a guestbook is futile these days. We still have the message board if you really want to comment on this site that badly. I took all the entries that looked like legitimate ones and stuck them in the Guestbook Archive (and thanks to whoever posted that Devilrays one, that made my day!)
I added myself to the "About Us" page. I also made a button for "The Ezboard Hall of Fame" and put it over in with the other sections (actually it's right where the Guestbook used to be.) That page needs some updating, but I don't really feel like doing that right now.
Hopefully, I'll have some more stuff soon that isn't so boring, but if we're going to start updating again, it would be nice to look presentable.
Update: 3/30/07
Hi! My name is Bananaquit and I'm taking over Morgannon's job as the fifth Beatle...er, staff member of this site. My real name is Tyler Torrance and some of you know me better as ACC KAIN or James FP's brother. I'm not sure exactly what I'll be doing just yet, but I'll figure it out. I started by reactivating the site's email address. So far, nothing but spam. *sigh* But I'll try to check it at least once a week. Maybe I'll do a "mailbag" section. Now that's an idea!
Update: 3/29/07
OMG! An update! I made an archive of all of Troy's Song Parodies:
Troy Sings the Hits: HIS Way!
I think I got all of them, but I'm not sure, so please send me any I may have missed. -Junus
Update: 3/28/07
Some general site maintenance. Fixed the links to the link-exchanged sites in the section table and added The 9th Key.
James, great rebuttal.
Junus, that's hilarious, but next time fix the image first. ~DH
Update: 3/26/07
Just to add my own 2 cents to this:
Hey, Retrothinking! If you want to see something REALLY painful and unfunny, you needn't look farther than a guy whose idea of humor is calling himself "Mr. T" and talking in the 3rd Person.
"T" wouldn't happen to stand for "Thawhidol", now would it?
-Junus Crowe
Update: 3/24/07
Hey! Check it out! I updated the Links page! And thanks to Flying Omelette for getting our midis working again. I didn't really care too much about them, and was going to delete the page, but since she went through all the trouble, I'll leave it as it is.
In other news, a long, long time ago (we're talking like 1998 here) we had a small war with a site called "VividImagination". Because it was so long ago, DH didn't want to stir up any hard feelings and thus had all references to the place removed from this site. Well, now it appears the same people who made that site now have a new site called "Retrothinking", and once again their front page is a blank mustard-yellow page that you have to move the mouse pointer all over the screen for the links to show up. But it's hardly worth it since when you do find something, like VI before it, it is most likely to be pointless chatroom nonsense (and not the good kind, as FO might say.)
The only reason I'm bothering to bring this up is because apparently, despite the fact that we had long-since forgotten about them, it appears they have not forgotten us and are still holding the grudge. I have a feeling it's because of DBDH Arenas #1, #2, and #3 in which three of their most prominent members got a virtual trashing (though one of the guys in #1 actually said he liked his sketch.)
The thing I always find amusing about stuff like this is that any random person who happens to find DBDH Arena isn't going to know who the sketches are about, especially since two of the names (Bulma and ClaudeKenni) are just random anime/video game character names that probably thousands of other people have used on the internet as well. So if THEY WOULD JUST LET IT GO and not say anything, everyone would be none the wiser. But they can't, and in their minds, they feel they are winning a little bit of a war that was over years ago each time they go on a 5000-word rant about how much we still suck.
VI, Retrothinking, whatever you folks call yourselves now, let this be our final words to you: We've all done really stupid things. We were all stupid uninformed highschool students at one time. There are people in this community who, at times in the past, you could not have put together in one room without them tearing each other apart. Today, we are the best of friends. Today, we can all look back on those moments of stupidity and just laugh it off. Perhaps "Retrothinking" is the best word you could use to describe yourselves now because your way of thinking still appears to be stuck in the head of a stupid uninformed highschool student. We've moved on. I just bought a brand new Chevrolet, I work a decent job, and live happily with my girlfriend, while you sit there like a drunk at the edge of a bar with one hand on his beermug and one on his forehead and berate people you don't even know because you were bested by a teenager almost 10 years ago.
The bottom line is, you can say whatever you want about us. But no matter how bad things may get, we can all wake up feeling better knowing that we aren't you.
~ James Torrance
Update: 12/20/06
Message from the staff:
Well, it's been over a year since this poor neglected site's been updated. We'd just like to make a few closing statements.
When we created this site, we knew we were taking a huge risk. We knew that by archiving stuff from the tumultuous history of our community that we could possibly be opening up old wounds that would lead to repercussions. To keep things in good spirits, we only archived stuff that wouldn't be hurtful unless it was directed at people who really, really deserved it (ie, trolls and board flooders). Of course, we did get a few responses from people who weren't too happy about the idea of this site existing, but certainly not as much as we had thought. Generally, the overwhelming response was positive and we're happy that we were able to archive at least a small portion of the community's best moments.
With that said, we understood full well when we made this site that it was not intended for a mainstream audience. It was about us and our community and we made it for us and for the people in the community. We knew that things like "DBDH Arena" and "Quote Corner" (among others) would probably be lost on people who were not part of the forums at the time all that stuff happened. I would imagine that most people who arrive at this site and realize after looking at a few pages that it isn't for them, probably just leave and move onto other things. However, there are the rare few who feel compelled to send us their thoughts before doing so. Aside from the typical "you suck" type of complaints, we also get accused of "alienation" and "elitism".
Unfortunately, we can make no apologies for that. This site is what it is. We don't personally feel this site exudes any kind of "our community is greater than your community" type of attitude, but if that's how you feel about it, then make your own damn community website. That's the best we can tell you. As far as being "elitist", you would have a hard time proving that. We purposefully tried to include as much material from the community as possible, from as many people who participated as possible, even if we didn't know them that well, or if they didn't stay long, or if even we couldn't remember them. We didn't just single out ourselves and our close associates. We may have put a little more focus on ourselves, but hey, c'mon, we're the ones doing all the work here!
However, as mentioned before, those are the "rare few". Generally speaking, we have gotten a lot of unexpected positive feedback from people who were not in any way involved in the community. Our most popular article by far is the "Funny Answering Machine Messages", which was cobbled together from a message board topic of the same title. This one actually led to someone donating money to keep our message board going a year longer than it probably would have. Also popular were the Game Ideas and the James & Junus reviews. We received so many submissions for game ideas that it was far more than we ever thought we'd get and we simply couldn't keep up with it. We sincerely apologize for not getting all of those wonderful ideas onto the site (some of the funnier ones really did have us laughing, though). We did have some naysayers on James & Junus, but we believe it was a unique approach to game reviewing that had not (to our knowledge) been successfully implemented anywhere else. We didn't get that many reviews done, but we're proud of what we have.
Now to clear up a few issues that have come up over the past few years:
1. Some people who have written us are under the impression that Deathamster writes every article on the site. While I might be able to fault us to a certain degree because the site is named after her, it's still quite puzzling when you consider that all the admins are listed at the top of the main page, there's an "About Us" page that explains who we are, and every article on this site is credited to whoever originally wrote it (be it us or someone from the forums). DH has actually written very little of the content on this site - most of it limited to the DBDH Arena, Blabber Wars, and her Game Ideas pages.
2. It has since been pointed out to us that some of the quotes in quote corner actually originated with other sources, such as The Simpsons, The Real Ghostbusters, and Austin Powers. We apologize for any confusion.
3. We do not know what happened to our fifth staff member, Morgannon, as none of us have heard from her in a really long time. We hope she's doing well.
Sincerely, the remaining staff of Deathamster's Nest: SethraShnoo, James FP, Deathamster, & Junus Crowe
Update: 9/9/05
It's been recently brought to our attention that someone has been going around on certain message boards lately claiming this site to be his. We'd just like to make it clear that not only is this person NOT the owner, nor one of the staff members of this website, but is also not affiliated with us in any way.
Sincerely, the staff of Deathamster's Nest:
James "FP" Torrance,
Debbie "Deathamster" Cosirus,
Sethra "Shnoo" Kinov,
and "Gengarian" Junus Crowe.

We're probably forgetting a few people, so thanks again to everyone for being a part of this website and community, and to those whose game reviews, game ideas, quotes and nonsense that we've archived here. The four remaining members of Deathamster's Nest can still be found posting at our forums and FO's Forums. It was a lot of fun and we all had a great time working together.
*Everyone takes a bow*
Farewell!
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
’cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la...
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
’cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la...
After nine days I let the horse run free
’cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it’s life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
’cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la...
(Music and Lyrics by America)
Update: 6/17/05 - Hi. It's been a long time since we've updated, and we're sorry to say that this site probably won't be updated again for a really long time. All of us are still alive and well, except that we haven't heard from Morgannon in a really long time, but we assume she's alive and well and has probably just moved on with her life, as have most of us. It was great and I think we did a good job of archiving some of our community's best moments.
And once again, the Deathamster's Nest community is proud to report that we have scored another victory against its sworn enemies, this one courtesy of the ezboard spam/flood-detect system. No matter what you Game Pond morons do, it won't change the fact that you lost over 4 years ago. We of the Deathamster's Nest/Port Saiid community would like to personally invite you to move on with your lives because you cannot win a battle that you've already lost. This community has and always will stand proud for truth, freedom, and justice. It is something no tyrant, lamer, or board flooder, no matter how big or small, can ever take away and that is what makes us proud to be or to have been part of it.
Holy crap! Victory #2! FO has announced that she's purging all of the Moron Patrol's submissions from FlyingOmelette.com! You go, girl!
Take the Long Way Home.
Update: 9/23/04 - Five new game ideas. Hibernation 64 and R-Type Special Deluxe Edition were added to Crawl and 1000's page. "I Have No Mouth, But I Must Have Ice Cream" was added to Ultimate Chicken's page. "I'm Getting Too Old 64" was added to BJ Strykes's page. And Harvest Pokemoon was added to BillofHarvestMoon's page. I just have to get a few more archived from the forums and then I can start on the email submissions. -Junus C.
Update: 9/15/04 - I have another Ode to Benjamin Strykes up! Laughs away! - SethraShnoo
Update: 9/13/04 - Deathamster's Nest proudly presents: The Ezboard Hall of Fame! This is a small tribute to our various ezboards from over the years. These boards are mainly where Sethra gets the quotes for ShnooWorld Quote Corner. We also give a short history and description of each. Article by DH, James, Junus, & Sethra.
Update: 9/8/04 - I added my review of Atari 2600 E.T. to the Reviews section. I updated it a bit from when it was posted on FO's forums. (The mistakes were corrected and I fixed a few other things.) I don't have screenshots yet, but I plan to have some up later today. I have to find a good Atari 2600 emulator and download the E.T. ROM and all. ~DH
Well, I'm finally back and it looks like the idiot spammers have stopped sending those messages, so I've calmed down enough to continue updating. I added "RPG: The Video Game" to Mercury Crusader's Game Ideas page. I'll be adding lots more soon. -Junus C.
Update: 9/7/04 - Yes, we're still alive. We've been helping FO update the Cameos Database at her site, and that's caused us to become somewhat neglectful of our own site. But I took a break from that today to add my review of E.V.O. Search for Eden to the Reviews Section, and I updated the Links page slightly. I also saw those icon links on the main page of FO's site, and I really liked that, so I did the same for the sites that linked back to us (it's in the table to the left below the site tracker). I had to choose an icon for FO's site because she didn't have one at hers, and I chose an egg, because of the "omelette" theme and whatnot. ~DH
Update: 8/18/04 - We have a new James & Junus review up! This one for the NES classic game, Uninvited. ~James FP~
Update: 8/17/04 - I added Flying Omelette's "Edge of Suicide" to the Shnoo's Eyerie. - SethraShnoo
Update: 8/17/04 - Added "Ratchet and Ratchet" and "Optimus Primal Rage" to FO's Game Ideas page, and I started a new page for Mercury Crusader's game ideas. -Junus C.
Update: 8/12/04 - Another thing I wanted to address about the "Kiera" emails is that most of them are spam. You are NOT to send spam to this site's email address. Site submissions and comments are welcome, but any email that sends spam to this address WILL be reported!
To the people inquiring about the Game Pond, I'm sorry, but this isn't a "Game Pond site". Yes, a lot of our work is archived from the Game Pond, but that's only because that's where it was all posted. The truth is that the Game Pond is dead and never coming back, and that's all there is to it. And if you read around our message boards enough, you'd know that the popular opinion is that we're better off without it. We suggest checking out either Flying Omelette's forums and/or our very own forums ("Message Board" button to the left). In our ever-so-humble opinions, they are both better than the Game Pond ever was. - SethraShnoo
Update: 8/12/04 - And now...News for the Mentally-Impaired: Our top story tonight (OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT!!) is that it's 2004 and the Game Pond is still dead (IS THAT IT'S 2004 AND THE GAME POND IS STILL DEAD!!) Thank you and have a pleasant tomorrow (THANK YOU AND HAVE A PLEASANT TOMORROW!!)
BTW, I added Organ Battle 64, Reggie-Lution 3D, and Rival Turd to Flying Omelette's game ideas, and I added ECW Wrestling to Deathspork's game ideas. I started Game Ideas pages for Facilitypro, Cloudbond007, and Magnus Crowe. I wasn't going to announce this update because I'm not finished with it yet, but I'm fucking pissed right now. So there! -Junus C.
Update: 8/5/04 - Sorry, it's been awhile since I last updated. I added "Extra Innings 2" to Crawl and 1000's page, "Ezboard Frontier" to SethraShnoo's page, and I started a page for Ultimate Chicken. Um, I don't have much there yet, but I'll be adding more. I also created an archive page for the R-Type Game Ideas. -Junus C.
I added Rise of the GoBots to FO's page, and I also removed NES World Wide from the Links page because it would appear the site no longer exists. -Junus C.
Update: 7/23/04 - I updated the Bloopers Archive. I added stuff for ActRaiser 2, Alundra 2, Casper, Chrono Trigger, EarthBound, Ice Hockey, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics 2. -Junus C.
Update: 7/16/04 - I started writing a song called Youth is Forever a long, long time ago, but I never finished it. I kind of like what I already had, so I posted it to the Shnoo's Eyerie, even though I intended it to have a second verse which I never wrote. ~SethraShnoo
I added Evil Bed to DH's game ideas page. -Junus C.
Update: 7/15/04 - I finally added a page for Site Reader Game Ideas, and I've started off with three that were sent via email. Thanks much to all those who submitted entries! -Junus C.
Added Cheese 64 to RufuShinra's game ideas. -Junus C.
Kairobi King submitted his Earthbound review to us awhile ago, and I finally posted it to the Game Reviews section. -Junus C.
Ummm...what the hell, Junus? You forgot to put my Cat RPG game idea on my page! Well, it's there now. ~SethraShnoo
I just didn't get to that one yet, Sethra. Sheesh! Added Commando Game to Magical Yard Gnome's page. -Junus C.
I started to add FO's "Punny Game Ideas" to her Game Ideas Page. There are quite a few new ones there. I didn't add all of them just yet because it got rather tedious. I'll finish it later. -Junus C.
Update: 7/13/04 - I added one more game idea to my page, Yakov Smirnoff 007. Check it out for a HOWLING good time! ~James FP~
Update: 7/9/04 - Hi, I'm back. Forget what I said about the "5 Game Ideas a day" thing. I was on vacation and couldn't get to it. Anyway, I started going through that "Punny Games" topic at FO's board and because they made me laugh so hysterically, I've begun archiving some of them. I started with Bomberguy's for no particular reason. Here's his page of game ideas. -Junus C.
Update: 7/8/04 - Hi, y'all! I added two of my new game ideas to my Game Ideas page, X-TREEME Crossdressing and X-TREEME Curling. Check it out for some X-TREEME entertainment! ~James FP~
Update: 6/17/04 - SethraShnoo's Quote Corner is back on-line. -Junus C.
I added Blank Screen 64 to HiRider's game ideas, Greed 64 to Devilrays' Game Ideas, Pimpin' Mario to Kefka's game ideas, and 2 Tony Danza game ideas to Hobbes' page. I'm going to try to make it a goal to add five game ideas a day until I get caught up, but don't hold me to it. -Junus C.
I added Nixxy Blayde's contribution to Rate the Game #1, but I didn't re-average the score yet. I'm hoping to get started on Rate the Game #2, but it's a lot of work. -Junus C.
I added Beware of the Puma 64, Tony Danzaogears, Get Caught Crying 64, and Squirrel Dudes to Hobbes' game idea page, and I added Slinky Racers to James' page. These game ideas are getting funnier and funnier! I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard during an update. -Junus C.
I know I'm not ~supposed~ to update the Shnoo's Eyerie, but FO sent us the lyrics to Kiera's song, "Devil's Lab", and it's just been sitting in the inbox for some time now. So I added it to the Shnoo's Eyerie. -Junus C.
I also added FO's "Rivers of Tears" to the Shnoo's Eyerie, because that was also sitting in the inbox for awhile. That's one less thing Sethra has to do, and she can get back to updating Quote Corner, hopefully. -Junus C.
Update: 6/12/04 - And we are back on-line at our new location! The only thing that has not yet been uploaded are the Quote Corner pages. We are still in the process of reformatting them into the new look of the site. (Plus, DH has to go through and eliminate some quotes by request of original authors.) Once we are done with that, we should begin regular updates again. - The Staff of DH's Nest
Note from Junus: I've completely redone the Game Ideas Archive (again). Game Ideas are now sorted by Author, rather than having one game idea per page, which I felt was real waste of space. Hopefully, this will work out for the better.
5/28/04 - A note from Junus: I am still currently quite busy transferring the Game Ideas. It's taking awhile because I cannot just simply download them all to my folder at school and then FTP them because I need to update each page so that the links and images will work, plus many still aren't in the new format. I have to do them one at a time, which isn't pretty.
Also, I had to remove some of the game ideas as per the request of the original author(s). They have been replaced with some of our own game ideas. But as for the person who requested that we remove DBDH Arena...please...don't make us laugh. -Junus C.
WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING THIS SITE!
Not all the files have been transferred yet. If you're looking for something, and it's not here, check the old address at: http://www.geocities.com/jamesmendou/ for it. When we are done, we will officially announce the move on the old site, close it down, and then continue regular updating at this location.

Update: 4/21/04 - I added another Ode to Benjamin in the DBDH Arena section! Hehehehe! - SethraShnoo
Update: 4/9/04 - I finished Quote Corner Page 7 and added Page 8. Lots of new funny, good, and interesting quotes for you! - SethraShnoo
Update: 4/8/04 - I added more quotes to Quote Corner Page 7. I also put some new quotes in the Nonsense Shrine because they seemed more appropriate there. I also added one new poem, "Riddle" by Kiera Lordens, to the Shnoo's Eyerie. I also added my cousin's review of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to the Reviews section. And, hehehehehe, another Ode to BJ in the DBDH Arena! - SethraShnoo
Hi! I'm back! I've got several new game ideas added to the archive and there will be more soon! -Junus C.
Update: 4/7/04 - Hey, look, I added an Ode to My Cousin, BJ Strykes, in the DBDH Arena section! Ehhehehehehehehehehe! -SethraShnoo
Update: 4/6/04 - Links has been updated slightly. If you Link Exchange with our site, you get a button and a site description. Other sites only get a link. ~DH
I updated the List of Games w/Questionable Titles. - SethraShnoo
Update: 3/31/04 - Sorry for the lack of updates. We're working furiously to get everything updated into the new site formats. These new formats should be permanent, so we will never have to do this again. ~DH's Nest Staff
Update: 3/26/04 - Check it out! I updated the Game Ideas Archive into the new format! Unforunately, all the game ideas themselves are still in the ugly old format for now. -Junus C.
Edit: Aw, crap! I keep forgetting that the school PC I work on is using 1024x768 resolution. I redesigned the Game Ideas Archive for that resolution and it looked fine. But as soon as I looked at it on my home PC in 800x600 resolution it looked like Total Crap!! I (hopefully) fixed this problem by removing the Game Idea #'s, adding a few "valign=top" tags, and shortening some of the games titles. It should look okay in either resolution now. -Junus C.
Update: 3/22/04 - We're working on a new site design. Please be patient while we work out the "bugs". ~DH
Update: 3/19/04 - Two quick notes: I added ErniePants's submission to Rate the Game #1. I also changed the background in the guestbook because the Mega Man 4 background only works if the background is "fixed", and it appears you can't change that property of Geocities' guestbooks. ~James
Update: 3/18/04 - I'm experimenting with a new format for the poems in the Shnoo's Eyerie. You can see what the first one looks like here. It'll be awhile before I get all of them into this format, though. - SethraShnoo
Update: 3/17/04 - I have finally brought back the thing that originally started this site in the first place - Rad Razor's Rate the Game! The first installment has been put up (link is to your left). Go there to find out how you can participate! I also added my infamous game idea "Fall Down Stairs 64" because I noticed it wasn't in there and I don't know where Junus is and when he'll update that section again. ~James
I added more quotes to Page 6 of Quote Corner, and I added a new Page 7. In case you're wondering how I decide when to make a new page, each one has 150 quotes total. I also added three new songs to the Shnoo's Eyerie: "Just Me and You" and "Taken From the Heavens Down" by me, and "Voyage of the Doomed" by Kiera Lordens. Finally, I added "Do Don Pachi" to the list of Games w/Questionable Titles courtesy of Rushifell and everyone else who's made jokes about that game's title. - SethraShnoo
Update: 3/15/04 - We have a new guestbook. It doesn't look as nice as the old one, but it'll do. - Morg
Update: 3/11/04 - I made an archive of our old guestbook because 50megs is threatening to delete it. I will put up a normal Geocities guestbook soon, but Geocities is acting all screwey right now and I'm unable to do so. I'm lucky I'm even able to get into the file manager. - Morgannon
This is James checking out the problem with Geocities File Manager and the Guestbook issue that Morgannon reported. It seems we are having some technical difficulties. If we cannot create a Geocities guestbook we'll look into other options soon. In the meantime, I organized the sections to the left so that it doesn't look like such a huge freakin' mess. I also fixed the update table to make it look slightly nicer. (The paragraphs aren't all the way over to the left border anymore.) ~James FP~
Ugh, I see what everyone means. I had to refresh about 50 times to get in here. I separated the Game from the Non-Game Humor in the Humor section, and I updated the article "Games & Accessories w/Questionable Titles". - SethraShnoo
Well, the good news is once we actually get into File Manager, everything appears to work fine. I might consider looking into getting a domain, though. I had entertained the thought in the past, but I just didn't think this site was big enough for a domain. We'll see how things go. In other news, I purchased CSC Gold for the ezboard. In a day or so, all ads should be gone bye-bye! I also added one new entry to Game Bloopers for DoDonPachi. ~DH
Update: 3/1/04 - I updated the Humor Article, "Games With Questionable Titles". I also added a new article, "All Your Base Parodies". I added four new songs to the Shnoo's Eyerie, all courtesy of Flying Omelette. They are "Aftermath (Stranger's Land)", "An Odd Circumstance", "A Time For Letting Go", and "Tolling Bells". I also added a sixth Quotes Page with lots of new quote entries! - SethraShnoo
I updated the Nonsense Shrine. ~James FP~
Update: 2/20/04 - The following has been updated:
