Hello boys and girls of all ages! Hope all
of you are well because I'm sick of people trying to tell me
how to run my own site. This isn't a normal site.
It's about a dead system, and run by a busy
guy. Correction, it's not run. This isn't the
type of site that's run. I just put stuff I
up that I enjoyed making, and that I think will
bring a laugh to others. I never promised that this would be
an updated site. If I want to update it five times a day
or update it once a year, that's my business. I've
never cared about "hits" or the "nes community." My site
was always just the one in the corner that a few people
really enjoyed and the rest ignored. But I don't care (well
once I did), I only care about having a laugh and doing
my work, and this page dosen't take a big priority
in my life. Will there be updates in the future? Yes.
Will there be many and will they be soon? No. If
you want an updated page, make one. I'll even help
you.
Anyway, on a totally different
subject, I thought a few of you would be interested in
seeing exactly what I look like, since I basically hide
under the anonimity of this really cool moniker, The Ogre
Hombre. Well here you are. Guess which one I am (hint: I'm a big
mother fucker).
Halloween '98!
Dosen't this face just sceam helpful civil servant?

"unless you have a better site, shut your mouth!"

Words of wisdom there from CrazyNesDan.
Well I continue to bring stuff over from the AOL directories, and clean
up those pages at the same time. Adding new stuff, fixing
typos, new gif's etc.
The Links Page has been updated and the fat has been
cut.
And the Collecting Section has two new big additions.
A section saluting those groovy Unliscenced games and a section
for those really cool Nintendo Game Packs from 1989. If
you don't know what I'm refereing to then its time for a visit
to the collector section.
In other news, has anybody been following Ebay lately? The
first issue of Nintendo Power is going for $50.00! I don't
know if you all out there know this, but there are more copies of the
first issue of Nintendo Power than any other issue (this is because
they were free, Nintendo wanted to hook all their Nintendo Fun
Club members). It's not the rarest issue.
Also watch out, there are people out there selling
issue of the old Nintendo Fun Club Magazine, saying they have copies
in "EXCELLENT" condition or "MINT", but they have scans of the
books right there and they are by no means mint. Be careful of
what you buy.
Also I'm in a good mood. I beat Metal Gear: Solid
the other day, and that has to be one of the greatest games
ever, if you don't have a playstation, go and try it out for
this game alone, it's fantastic. A great update of an old
NES game.

Well folks, here we are. A brand new year, and
a brand new home for the Planet: NES. First of all
I'd like to thank Octopooki for the space, at his wonderful
little corner of the web, Brinstar.com. For those of you visiting for
the first time, a brief introduction is in order. I am Alan, better
known around the net as The Ogre Hombre. I
am a full time student at Fordham University,
so you will excuse me if this page isn't
updated often. This page has been up for a year over at AOL and
basically lived in obscurity achieving only a few hits a week (I'm
also blackballed by yahoo for some reason or another).
If you enjoy collecting Nintendo stuff and you like your humor weird
then this is the place to be. You'll find I have an insatiable
love for the 80's and really enjoy making these
wild an trippy animated gif's. For my few but devoted followers
who are coming back I'd like to say I hope you enjoyed the
classic Planet: NES, because this is going to be even
better. This is still going to remain the most original
Nintendo site out there. There will be no codes section
or any other crap which can be found on any other page.
This page basically disappeared off the
net during this summer. I was too busy with my job as a reading
teacher, and then my trip to Ireland
and England. And then with the start of College, my
job as a tutor and being in training to be an Emergency Medical
Technician, I put the site on the backburner. But
since I've been on the horrendously long winter vacation I've
decided to bring it back.
There's been loads of changes here, almost too
numerous to mention. First of all, I got this brand new unlimited domain
to work with, therefore there's not going be any need for space.
And since there gonna be no more need for space, I've put up a whole load
of animated gif's all over the place, including this "What's
New?" gif that's looking at you right now. I've also updated the
music, as you're probably listening to some cool tunes right now.
Just about all the pages themselves have
been updated to this new blue box format I've got
working now. I did it to make the whole place
a little bit more co-ordinated and add to that professional
look I've always wanted to attain. The front
page got a major work over as did the whole
collecting section which I want this page
to be about. I've cut out all the old news
on this page because since I'm at a
new place I might as well make a fresh start.
You can still see the old what's new page as
an archive file, but hey, why would you want to?
There's a new letter in Mailbag section
that's basically cursing me out for not updating. I thought
that was cute. I just love it when people with too much free
time whine to me about myself not having any free time.
In the weeks to come I plan to
have a scanner, in which I will really get things
rolling for the Collecting section. I have so much
stuff to scan such as cards, unlicensed games, magazines, etc.
I'm also in the process of figuring out CGIforMe's
messageboard (I've got an account, I'm just having troubles
getting the blasted thing to work). And I might, just
might, make one or two more fights, and try and bring
some closure to that little idea.
