I’ve already written about how I’ve discovered, and even re-discovered MUGEN but something about playing it on my relatively small 19-inch monitor kept me from finishing my dream MUGEN compilation. Well, all that’s about to change as I have just heard news that MUGEN is alive and well on the X-Box.

Apparently, the next firmware update (2.20) is going to see improvements to the PS3 Browser’s page loading times! Also, for all of us who wanted to save certain files onto our console but weren’t able to from the browser, this issue will be resolved too!

As I had stated in a previous post, the PS3’s browser had really let me down. Hopefully this will elevate it to the level of being usable! I would have also liked to see an upgrade to the newest version of flash so that I can watch trailers on gametrailers.com. Who knows, maybe it’ll be part of the next update?

I don’t get it. A console that’s more powerful than most computers out there can’t handle browsing? How is it that the PS3 browser can run out of system memory if I have more than a few webpages open at once? What friggin sense does that make?

Many sites, like digg.com, don’t even work. As soon as I go on the site, it just loads a white page replacing it. No copy/paste feature? That should be unheard of! You can’t even select text! And how come it doesn’t already come with the most recent version of Adobe Flash. I can watch Youtube videos but I can’t see anything on gametrailers.com.

I tried my hand at making a Joe Madureira tribute PS3 theme and I’m actually very happy with the result! For those who don’t know, Joe Madureira is one of the best comic book artists ever and definitely my favorite.

To name a few comics, he’s worked on X-Men, Street-Fighter, and the Ultimates ! Not to mention a short-lived series of his own creation called Battle Chasers. He’s also made a lot of concept art for video games. The man is a living legend and is one of the biggest reasons I draw today.

Anyhow, if you’d like to download and use the theme, you can do so here directly from your PS3’s browser! I’d really appreciate if you would also give my theme a 5 star vote if you like it

If you haven’t heard, Little Big Planet is the upcoming phenomenal PS3 system seller scheduled for a September release! I can say that LBP and Spore are my two most anticipated games of 2008! I’m so excited about LBP being released that I’m already trying to think of what levels I plan on making!

I’ve decided that my first venture will have me recreating world 1-1 of the original Super Mario Bros game. I’m not sure if the tools in LBP will allow a close enough translation of the classic map, but I’m definitely going to do my best!
