Naze Nani YJUTT!!
(The how and why of YJUTT)
Well first off we have a NEW New Update section!
Here's where we'll, the newly elected admin (basically the old admin) will tell you what we're up to.
Just so you know who's who, I'll explain.
Admin One :Tech
ok, our Tech guy, everyone's gotta have a Tech guy right? and ours is a technamalogical genius! Jake
Admin Two :RPG
The guy who's incharge of all things RPG, characters, stories and the like. Very Mellow. So if you have an issue involving the RPG he'll just mellow you out! Mark
Admin Three :Social
Of course, put the girl in charge of Gossiping! Spanking muppets and thwarting meanies! Lani
Supermod :Mod-El
And so we have all opinions, so we know we're on the right track, like the news readers have ground crew to get information from the people (you :lol:2), we have our Monkeyboy, Matt
And together we form the Godly Trio!!...Mark makes four but still ;)

This past week...
1. Our former Admin left.
Alan kinda took charge of everything, we're slackers by nature, so it was easier for us that way. Now that The Godly Trio rule, the fun will return.
2. Our other former Admin left.
Rachael, the creater of the first YJUTT, deleted her account again. We think this means she's left us again. Never rains, but it pours.
3. I updated the accepted character section.
Due to the departure of some persons, there was little reason to have a team because there was no-one on it. Characters who have now been abandoned, their bio's have moved in with the NPC's in the Others topic.
Soon we shall have new pics up in the Taken Characters thread!!
4. RPGing Threads pictures.
The RPG section now has pictures again! After Alan left, all the pictures he hosted left with him. This has been great, I've worked out how to do so much stuff! If you have a picture of your character you want from a particular team it might, eventually get put up if you send it!!

This past week...
1. ...Poke
Well, In the grand sceme of things we're kinda just floating along, its towards the end of the year that YJUTT's traffic majorly goes down. Due to other commitments, having a life or just because computer time needs to be spent on more academic things, we tend to neglect our precious site.
But as long as we come back with a vengance over the holidays/vacations, especially summer break and YJUTT's birthday the site will never die.
2. Unexpected
Mark has finally given up being the only person in a storyline, he's decided that playing 7 peoples characters is wearing him down, and will be taking a break once the current stories are finished.
3. Expectations
I think its time for a little feedback.
I think its time to rediscover the Live-chat button again.
I think its time for YJUTT to come alive, even if its in a chat sense.
I think its time to post somewhere.
4. Think he'll be a boy-scout?
Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage decided to call his baby son Kal-El because he believes the name has a "magical ring" to it. Cage, 41, and his 21-year-old wife Alice welcomed the arrival of their first child together earlier this month, and stunned fans when they announced the baby's unusual name, which was originally given to fictional superhero Superman at birth. The Leaving Las Vegas star says, "Alice and I wanted to have a name that was exotic and American and which stood for something good, because our son is exotic and he's American and we both think he's good. But having said that, I always liked the sound of the name. It has kind of a magical ring to it: Abracadabra Kal-El Shazam!" [From the IMDB]
5. Anime-con
Yes, i'm going to London to an Anime-con on Sunday, looks to be interesting.
I'm taking my little brother and his friend, which will be fun, i'll let you guys know how it works out. Its at ExCeL if you wanna go :D

This past week...
1. Its nearly Christmas.
You better believe it true belivers, only 22 shopping days until the most hyped up day of the year. If you ask me Halloween is so much better, but i'm sure you guys will have a good day right? unless your spending it with you families.
Most important thing to remember is to give without expectiing to recive, then you shouldn't be disappointed. Plus if you give weapons they might save you the ammo of having to do it yourself.
...Christmas is great.
2. X-Box 360
Today, December 2nd was the launch date of the X-Box 360 in the UK, 10 days after the states, because, and i know i've covered this, you guys get everything first!
Due to an extreame shortage, we barely managed to fill pre-orders, but it was cool because we taunted a guy at work he couldn't play his till he got home!
3. Internet.
My router is dead. I haven't yet bothered to look at it, mainly because i've been so tired lately, i've had flu (Yet still gone to work. i'm too nice)
So i have no Internet upstairs. A certain persons phone bill is goiing to be ultra high this month...
4. Realisation.
This update doesn't really have a lot to do with YJUTT. In the new year we'll be back with a vengance, how does that sound? we might even be able to capture Matt...(<--lies)
5. I have a new 2nd cousin!
So that makes Ruby and Jasmine. Ultra girly names though huh, i did sugest Optimus Prime, but no, they said i could keep that for my first born. However Ruby is expecting a sibling of somesort. My suggestions this time are Jade for a girl [Ruby and Jade] Or Risk for a boy [Ruby and Risk] Hey, its better than Millicent.
6. Cool thing.
Click the portal button, i thought it was cool.
You can view if you have any messages, whos online, latest posts, i'd suggest this to be your first click every time you come online to be honest.
Though for some bizzare reasone the Month comes first in the date. Which is just insanity...
7. The Animecon thing...
Rocked. Bring on Otakon 2006.

This past week...
1. Yet another useless release date
The DS Lite is out in the UK on the 26th of June, this is fairly mean due to the fact that the US has had it for a little while in all its compact sexyess. I wanna play Super Princess Peach on it! ...Dont judge me! :thatguy:
2. World Cup Goodness
Its that time that only comes every four years, the World Cup, The biggest sporting event that features only one sport. You can keep up to date on all matches and scores in my World Cup Update!! Regular updates on the scores.
3. Movieliciousness
The other week i went and saw X-men:The last stand, as i'm not a super hardcore fan i'd like to say it roxxoors. I mean, i wan't too happpy with what Rogue did but it kinda worked out better for her, and in the end i liked the girl who played Kitty. Although Vinnie Jones wasn't super convincing :(
4. Not so Movieliciousness
When I went to see Xmen there was also a trailer for Superman Returns, not the one that runs in my shop that makes it seem like it might be ok, but a new one where he got shot on the eye...(the bullet just crumpled which is why i said on and not in) But its like, Lois Lane married Lex Luther or something and she now has a son...WTF?! Am i just not up on Supes lore or did this not happen? and why for the love of god why DC did you not do a Batman on this and start over for the new generation....Hopefully if i go with NO expectations i might be happy with the movie.
5. Cutest Advert Ever
The mobile phone network Orange have a super lush advert at the moment, theres this goldfish in a fishbowl and its in the ocean, there are all these other fish swimming freely but because he's stuck in this bowl and he cant get out, he's all sad. But then the rain comes and fills the bowl so it submurges and he can escape and be with his friends!! Happy fishie :D
6. Wingies!!
I've been asked to be a godmother!! I'm so very tempted to wear fairy wings to the christning of my third second cousin, Lily Grace Overal. She was referenced in my update on December 3rd, point 5.
7. New Muse single!
Release date set to be the 19/06/06...I just saw that on Sky so i'll get back to you when i have more information.

The Follow Up Music Special!!
The muse single shall be called 'Supermassive Black Hole' from the new Muse album called 'Black Holes And Revelations' which will be released on the 3rd July.
"Following 2003's smash hit album 'Absolution', Muse return with brand new studio album 'Black Holes And Revelations'. With the aim of combining club beats with alternative guitar licks, whilst still retaining all their epic, space-aged rock melodica, Muse sound like a new band; expanded of mind, settled of spirit and anything but sedentary of sound, 'Absolution 2: Back To The Planets', this most certainly is not.
Still, some of this might come as a shock: after opener 'Take A Bow' takes over where 'Absolution' left off – all doomy celestial synths and Matt's preacherish wails of "You will burn in hell for your sins!" – we suddenly rocket off into unexplored quadrants. 'Starlight' is an Abba gig on the moon, 'Map Of The Problematique' is Depeche Mode impersonating Queen for a Bond theme and, most surprising of all, 'Supermassive Black Hole' is a dance floor electro-metal stomper, resembling Beck giving Marilyn Manson a helium blowback in Studio 54. Which is not to mention the triptych of Italian folk-influenced meta-country that closes the record in a flurry of flamenco frenetics and mariachi horns.
For continuity, in fact, we must also look to the lyrical themes, where fans of the apocalyptic soundbite, the madcap conspiracy theory, the revolutionary rabble-rousing, the weird stuff about aliens inventing all earthly religions and other such classic Muse concerns will not be disappointed. For instance lets look at the single, 'Supermassive Black Hole', an emotional metaphior based around the theory that the Earth is actually an expanding sphere, being sucked towards the gigantic black hole at the centre of the universe! Also examined is the fear of our civilisation going the way of the Roman Empire (surf-prog album closer 'Knights Of Cydonia') and the loss of hope in the face of unjustifiable wars ('Soldier's Poem' and 'Invincible').
whereas 'Absolution' gazed on helplessly at the subjugation of humanity by corrupt world leaders and encroaching environmental or galactic disasters (and certainly, 'Black Holes And Revelations' has its fair share of climate change/ oil crisis/ global inflagration paranoia), on the new album's pivotal track 'Assassin', Bellamy appears to be calling for nothing short of a global revolution – "Shoot your leaders down/ And join forces underground…. Destroy demonocracy". The time has come. The New Muse Order is on the rise." - HMV

"Toronto-based quartet Billy Talent release their magnificent second album 'Billy Talent II', which sees the band taking punk to new heights, amplifying the explosive energy and earnest lyricism that made their debut an international sensation.
Powerful new songs like 'Devil In A Midnight Mass', 'Surrender' and 'Red Flag' are alive with the band's personal blend of angular angst and irresistible popcraft, all given distinctive focus via singer Ben Kowalewicz' inventive, issues-oriented songwriting. Recorded last winter at Bryan Adams' Warehouse Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia, Billy Talent II was produced by Gavin Brown, who previously helmed the band's acclaimed eponymous debut, with co-production from guitarist Ian D'Sa." - HMV

The muse single shall be called 'Supermassive Black Hole' from the new Muse album called 'Black Holes And Revelations' which will be released on the 3rd July.
"Following 2003's smash hit album 'Absolution', Muse return with brand new studio album 'Black Holes And Revelations'. With the aim of combining club beats with alternative guitar licks, whilst still retaining all their epic, space-aged rock melodica, Muse sound like a new band; expanded of mind, settled of spirit and anything but sedentary of sound, 'Absolution 2: Back To The Planets', this most certainly is not.
Still, some of this might come as a shock: after opener 'Take A Bow' takes over where 'Absolution' left off – all doomy celestial synths and Matt's preacherish wails of "You will burn in hell for your sins!" – we suddenly rocket off into unexplored quadrants.

This past week...
1. Its here!! Hello 2007!!
Hopefully everyone had an awesome Christmas and lots of fun welcoming the new year in. Trivia for you!! Chinese New Year is not until February 18th, this year will be the year of the Pig, so this will be your year if you were born in 2007, 1995, 1983, 1971, 1959 And so forth. There are 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac so Mark, being born in 1983 will be 24 this year!! Yes, I agree. So old.
To find out your Chinese Zodiac Year!! I am an Ox. Don’t mess wit’ me yo….
2. Hasta la Vista, Welcome!!
On the 30th of January there is a new computer operating system being launched by Microsoft called Windows Vista!! Features of this new version include the far increased security in the system; one of the main faults with XP is the susceptibility to viruses and hackers. However this will also tackle piracy and in some ways stop illegal downloads or file sharing of both music and movies. Windows Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Media Player 11 are self explanitory, they are just new versions of older programs. Also included is the much later attachment for XP, called Media Centre, which is like a hive for content such as music, photos and video. Fast search is also now in the system, hopefully it’ll actually find files in my computer then because basic XP search sucks. Apparently it is derived from the Apple Mac’s OS X Spotlight, based loosely around perhaps? Lastly to be mentioned is the possibly useful sidebar, seems to be like a favourites menu concerning actual information, like the weather or sports scores. Its got potential. I think I’ll wait until I’ve actually looked into the system before I decide to stick with XP or be happy to upgrade when my system dies. For more information visit Wikipedia
3. Wii Wii Wii, can Sony do a 360 to get back on top??
A few years ago a totally revolutionary games system was released, awesome graphics, original games and the (stolen) rumble controller. Of Course I’m talking about the Playstation 2. Microsoft saw how lucrative gaming could be from this and although they release the X-Box, along with Nintendo’s game cube they could not over come the popularity of the PS2.
Lets flip back to two years ago (2004). Both Sony and Microsoft announce new consoles in the making, a race against time we should say to see who’s will launch first and become the more predominant system.
So now one year ago (3rd of Dec 2005) I marked the launch of the X-box 360. I must admit I was impressed, with its awesome graphics, High-Definition might I add, the coolness of X-Box live which no one else has been able to match. Plus it was launched at the right time in two different versions, The Premium and the upgradeable Core. Sure it was costly but acceptable for what you were getting, especially with all the extras that came with the premium or the fact you could, when you had the money, buy the hard drive to upgrade the core.
About 10 months ago Nintendo decided to have another go at the big leagues due to it growing handheld success and announced the dubious title of the Nintendo Wii. However I think its media hyping over the name only brought it good things, easy to remember and interesting to say the least. The cheapest of all available consoles and the most involving with its various style controllers made it an instant success. With its Wii-mote, nun chuck, regular pad and actual gun (Yes duck hunt fans, the light gun is back in fashion!) Plus there is a steering wheel facia to put the wii-mote into for racing games. Its appeal is that it pretty much…appeals to everyone. Plus it has some very original games. (Wii sports is totally fun)
Now knowing Sony’s rivals lets look into the George Forman Grill looking console, what 1080p is all about and what happened to the boomerang.
Sony had “global PS3 launch” plans Japans launched November 11th and America on the 17th. According to the PS2 statistics Europe owns over 15 million more units than Asia and only 4 million units less than the states. Why oh why has the European launch been pushed back to MARCH!?! Yes, the PS3 has still not launched anywhere in Europe. However it could be due to Sonys “lack of stock” tactic used so many times before. Sales from December 2nd world wide for Playstation 3 : 384,836 whereas the Wii had moved 1 Million by that date.
At E3 Sony estimated the sale of 4 million units to be sold by the end of 2006, they announced in early January the one millionth sale. Slightly below estimations I think.
"BluRay is a next generation format supported by major studios. Five of the six major Hollywood studios are supporting BluRay." (quote from E3) Unfortunately the type of film most sold world wide is the blue kind, and years ago Sony lost out when the adult movie companies chose VHS over Betamax. Unfortunately for BluRay, porn seems to have chosen HD DVD, its cheaper to manufacture and there are players on the market. True Sony purchased the rights to a lot of movie collections like the entire set of James Bond but you need to have something to play them on.
“We will make PS3 available via a two-configuration plan. One with a 60GB HD. And the other with a 20GB hard drive” Which means you have to either get the higher or lower system, there is a chance of upgrading when you have the money but to meet the spec of the higher console you need the extra hard drive space (which you cannot buy), a Wi-Fi adapter, and a card expansion bay. Extra cost and we all know how much its going to cost already. In America, 60 GB = $599 and the 20GB = $499 In The United Kingdom the 60GB = £550 ($935 based on £1=$1.7) and the 20 GB might not even be sold here. Costly?? In Sonys own words “It requires huge financial investments”
One of the main selling points of the PS2 was its backwards compatibility with PS games, it seems that to play Playstation Two games you will either need excess patches and upgrades per game or you just cant play them. (That’s why you need the 60GB hard drive, all the upgrades your going to need.)
1080p is the shorthand name for a category of video modes. The number 1080 represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution, while the letter p stands for progressive scan. At the moment there are few TVs to watch this on because they tend to be 720p. A boast of the PS3 was its consoles ability to run on 1080p due to the BluRay disks …which are also few and far between. At the end of 2006 Microsoft posted a download on Live! To enable the choice of 720p or 1080p, losing Sony that’s edge.
The very first looks of the Playstation 3 made it look like a George Forman Grill, big and bulky with a boomerang like controler next to it, also looking big and bulky. After Nintendos announcement of their revolutionary Wii-mote suddenly the old controller was back, no longer to be called the rumble remote due to its 6-degrees of freedom…hmmm.
The seventh generation console wars are most interesting especially as all the people who come to my shop that didn’t buy the X-box 360 waiting that extra year have now got either a 360 or a Wii, deciding that making them wait at least another 4 months is just way out.
If your wondering who’s side i’m on? I own a Playstation 2 & a pink DS Lite plus I play the 360 at work and my friends Wii every now and then. And I like them all. Once I play the PS3, I'll tell you if I like it.
[I was going to do hand held consoles too but I’m tired now]

Just letting everyone know that at the bottom of the page there's the member of the month which had been Shinigami for like...2 years, but I finally figured out how to change it so it is getting updated every month, so keep an eye out. For those who missed it, last month's member was Kidflash3.
