It\'s a hectic afternoon here and while the velvet rope still blocks our front door, inside our staff is already hard at work. Robots whirl about unpacking the lounge furniture, polishing glasses, and dusting tables. The air is thick with their mechanical excitement. Soon the order will be given and the countdown will begin.

What are Sushi Projects? They're raw, small, and powerful games. They're card games printed in black and white, served up in a baggie for easy carrying. And of course, they're cheap. You can get 5 games or more different games for the price of one game sold by another company.

But what else are they? They are part of a grand experiment in game design and production.

You see, for the next few months, we will be trying to release two new games every month. And don\'t think we\'re just sloppily throwing games out there: each one will be thoroughly tested and expertly designed graphically. We want to give you, the game players of the world, a diverse menu of games to choose from. We plan to span the various game genres, and bring both solid traditional style games along with experimental games by our game design studio.

Most of all, we want to know what you think. Love a game? Hate it? You can rate all of our games right on the site, and comment on them. If a game is popular enough, we\'ll consider giving it a full color treatment later on when we enter that phase of the experiment.

Happy Playing,
Dave
Chief of Product Development

Greetings to all, here is a quick and dirty preivew from my desk

DHV round 2 is under development now. Still working out Cleopatra's mummy bugs, and rebalancing Lincoln against SintaCLAWs. For those that had seen earlier previews of the round two that included albert einstein,

he has been moved to round three with the gingerbread man or perhaps merie antoinette. Only time will tell on that.

Greets all,

Not exactly a productive or unproductive day. Some advances were made on the admin end of the site by jerry (many parts of product end of the Admin CP were fixed or expanded), Beetle added a drink to the martini roster, the Game and I did some debating over weather or not cleopatra\'s mummy / stripper theme was off base for DHV r2 (that jury is still out), and David Lovejoy and went over wave one of the sushi projects and debated what worked and what really caused trouble during the printing process.

All in all, DHV r2 is coming along nicely. This weekend will see some play testing of the 4 player version of the game, even if player 4\'s cards don\'t actually have a character chosen for them yet. It should be interesting, as DHV first started working as a four player game, and got modified when we decided to release it in 2 player starter packs. We\'ll have to see if the Rupp riders still like it, now that it has been through so many changes.

the Great DHV debate!

of all the characters you can think of from history, who has the wax to stand out and take them all on? There are so many we have thought up, but so few stand among the top. comment away on this post with your ideas.

here are but a few we have considered...

The Ginger Bread man vs. Albert Einstein

Queen Elizabeth or Victoria2.0 vs. George Washington

Benjamine Carver (Doctor Peanut) vs. A Peanut

Marie Antionette vs. Mother Therissa

Titanium Tesla vs. Electric Edison

Lenin vs. Che Guveratron

Solid Shakespeare vs.Liquid Snakespear

a few updates going on today. The events section, which has presented a coding issue from the start is no longer accessable. we will relink it to the site when it actually works.

Jerry is also working on the dumpster tonight. it should be live tomorrow, and have a few files in it for viewing.

lastly in this little news blurb we are testing a mirror wordpress site. when we get the bugs out, it should be more stable, but have fewer functions that what is live now. as always, tough call on weather or not we want to use it.

midnight oil running out,
R3aper

The Dogfighters' PDF, is now available for download. The file contains the full game, with F16s, missiles, and game cards for four players. You will require some experience with Adobe illustrator to hack it into printable pieces, but otherwise should be easy enough to print and cut out.

That said, we never could get the game itself to work in a functional way. there just wasn't enough limitation put on either player for either player to be able to guess what the opponent may be doing, set a trap, or a counter trap. And while I have ideas on how to fix this, the cost of cutting hexagonal cards made it less appealing to develop than Dust and Get Bit.

Anyone is free to post ideas in the comments below. Who knows, maybe you will crack the dog fighting code...

Crank: Jason Statham plays the assassin for hire, who has been berayed by someone, and has an hour to live. Well thats what everyone thinks anyway. Our high strung action craving lunie goes out on a rampage that is followed by the public of his world over TV and radio news reports throughout the film. The side affect of this, besides million in property damage, is that his body is producing enough adrenaline to keep him alive, well beyond the one hour given to him. Death will just have to wait in line till this man slows down.
A cray fun film, where our star trys to one up all his other action adventures to date. Filled with heart pounding action, and near endless amounts of violence, car chases, shoot outs, sex, and or stimulants.
Looking for a story? Surprisingly there is one, still isnt much, but it is actually important to this moive. Well, not really, it just happens to give a validation for the violence, and makes jsut enough sense for the watcher to shurg and go back to mindless enjoyment.
I would say that this film is a good mindless fun run, that if you need seomthing to kill time with, watch it. Not exactly background noise, but if you need soemthing constantly on your TV, this is a good shot. I walked out of the theater literaly exhausted from the film, not cause it was supper long, but the film just takes it out of you as you watch.
