| ENTRY #34: More delays, but there's good news, too |
|---|
| Sorry for the delay, but the next issue will now be coming out on September 1 or thereabouts.
But there's some good news. I put together a little diversion that you might enjoy:
jobfinder.php
You try and match up game designers with their previous or current full time professions. Enjoy. |

| ENTRY #33: In case you haven't guessed... |
|---|
| The next issue of Spielboy has been delayed a month and will come out August 1st, 2004. This is mostly due to (1) laziness and (2) sloth on the part of the editor. |

| ENTRY #29: Hot wet witches |
|---|
Bruno Faidutti and Humphrey Clerx were kind enough to provide me with images of some new releases: Waz Baraz and Boomtown. The pics went right into the Hot Or Not rotation -- and let me tell you, the witches in Waz Baraz are smokin' hot, and the Boomtown artist draws busty squaws very well.
So check out the Hot Or Not pages if you haven't been there in a while: hotornot.php |

I've started writing a weekly blog for Gamefest.com. Here's the link:
Gamefest Blogs.
I don't know why I am telling you this, since the intention is to drive traffic to another website, but I thought it was a decent enough reason to write an entry in the Spielboy log. |

Yesterday was the biggest traffic day for Spielboy yet, with nearly 200,000 hits. In one day.
Hmmm? What's that? Hey, suck it. 200K hits is damn good for Spielboy. Maybe it's not so great compared to your momma's blog about her anus. Yeah, that's right, I read that blog. And she's a ho'. |

| ENTRY #18: Kniziafusion Updates |
|---|
I added a couple of updates to the Kniziafusion page. This is the page in Weapons of Mass Instruction that shows which games from Reiner Knizia have been rethemed (and in many cases, tweaked) and then re-released. I find it useful to know when I'm considering a game of his to know if it's already been released.

I made a couple of updates to the website that I think are interesting:
- Added a hit count on the pictures of Genevieve in the HTML gallery page. I was surprised at which one was most popular.
- Am working on a page that will show the top 10 and bottom 10 Heiss or Hesslich images. It'll be working by the end of this weekend.
- Added comments section on the Back page. Man, some people are just plain mean.
- Added the "Hide" button in the upperright corner of every page. That's in case the wife or the boss (or both) walk in.
