Dear visitors,

We have finaly updated the backend of PDRoms on our beta-test-servers with the help of our coder “celeth”. In the next few weeks we will do some heavy testing and if everything goes straight you will be able to register, leave feedback, write reviews, rate homebrews, write your own news submissions, etc etc etc…

Brakkens Blogcast Number 3 (misc)

Brakken ( http://www.tehskeen.com ) speaks out about (homebrew)scene issues once again.

Content:

Description:
7zip archive includes a MP3 file. Quote Brakken: It’s that time again! Blogcast #3 has been released. In this cast I cover lame kids these days and their so called “gamer” tag, Wraggster’s stupidity, GBATEMP morons and the Nintendo Wii Backup Loader. Get r’ Downloaded!

Someone tried to take the blogcast down severall times, so far it only survived on the Eurasia servers, which unfortunatly requires registration.

Brakkens Blogcast only represents Brakken’s views. The only thing we have listen to and agree with is the critism about DCemu, but would have probably choosen different words 🙂 For the rest of the content we can’t say or confirm anything.

Wraggster tries to discredit Tehskeen (misc)

Flashcards and loaders are bad? Does it cause the homebrew scene go RIP?

Follow the link if you want one more episode of how Wraggster/DCemu tries to manipulate and discredit!

This is sort of amusing… someone who is sitting in a house made of glas, should not throw with stones.

Juding homebrew contests in a fair way (misc)

Note quite sure in which context wraggster wrote an “hombrew judging” article out of the box, but it’s quite interesting and reflects some specific problems, if you have to handle competitions.

You may check the article by following the link below.

How DCemu betrays themself (misc)

In most parts of the world you would say “One man, one word”.

Unfortunatly this does not apply to Wraggster of DCemu, a page which is well known, so it does not need more hotlinking…

Let me quote something Wraggster wrote on GBAtemp ( http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=104191 ):

Quote from Wraggster:

Congrats Costello on a great comp, any comp for the Homebrew community is always a great event and getting backing of multi national sites is great too, i speak for the rest of the staff at DCEmu and say we support 100% these comps (i dont do comps, too much bloody hassle 😉

I and many other homebrew fans out there wonder, why Wraggster still did not mention Brakken’s ongoing Wii Coding Competition (located here: http://www.tehskeen.com/contests/tswcc/contest.php?page=about ) on DCemu”s main page.

Is it just because he points out true things in the public, about Wraggster and DCemu, such as I did in the past?
