The big news is you can now copy your Smash Bros. Brawl screenshots from your Wii using an SD card and this nifty piece of software. We've got a whole thread dedicated to posting screenshots on the message board. JUST BEWARE OF SPOILERS! In addition, thanks to the work the folks at Halley's Comet Software I've been able to get high-quality rips of more Metroid soundtracks. Some Gamecube and Wii audio formats are now supported as well as the Nintendo DS audio formats, meaning I am now able to get SFX-free rips of Metroid Prime Pinball and the WarioWare Metroid tracks. If that weren't enough, they've also managed to get audio out of the Metroid Prime Trial Version that you could play at E3 2002 or in Gamecube demo kiosks prior to the final version's launch. This is truly an interesting find considering the presence of early versions of the introductory cutscene and Phendrana. Definitely worth checking out. Expect more updates in the future as I fill out some of the holes in the Prime 3 and Hunters soundtracks.

Insomniac By Choice also sent me the latest files in his fanfic The Best There Is, so now we have the only existing 'complete' copy of this fanfic online. Personally I think it's one of the best fanfics out there and a really good read. Be sure to check it out in the fanfic section!

Lastly, longtime MDb fans should note that one of our resident veterans, Justin Bailey, has aggreed to let me upload his legendary Samus MP3. Bear in mind this was made about a decade before Portal came out and it's still as ridiculous as it was ten years ago.

Until next time...
