Updates Archive: 2002
December 27, 2002
No work done on the site, but I updated the link to the Official Japanese Koei Dynasty Warriors 4 website! Take a looksie, there's stuff up there now! It appears that character designs have been tweaked, in some cases drastically. Three new characters have been released and Koei says there are many more. Thanks go to The Magic Box for alerting me.
I would also like to mention how incredibly great Mystic Heroes is. I only just recently got a copy of it, and I'm addicted. I don't expect I'll be able to work on this site until mid-January, since I've got other projects to handle then. Hope you all had a nice holiday! (By the way, I turned 18 years old yesterday. Yay for me!)

Never did get around to doing Chi Bi in Kessen II, since I have been distracted by Final Fantasy VI. Man, that game rocks. Edgar is so cool. Oh, yeah, updates, right. There are some new links under General Links and the Fanart Links have been checked and added to. I recommend you go see OH!ISM.

Updated the Kessen II walkthrough again. I have finished the first 4 battles in Cao Cao's campaign, and I'll be doing Chi Bi tonight.
I wanna make a Dynasty Warriors clique or webring, but I'd like some input. Anyone interested?

Another update? Try not to get used to this daily updating, it's only because I don't have Suikoden III yet. ^^;;
Anyway, I removed the GIFs page. Why? Well, I'm making a Dynasty Warriors fanlisting, and I decided I want to use the GIFs for the fanlisting. So down it went. You'll be able to download them again in January, when I get the Fanlisting up.
I finished the walkthrough for Liu Bei's campaign in Kessen II! Whee! I even got the extra stage, though I thought you only get that by playing on Expert difficulty. I wasn't playing on Expert, and I got it. Strange. I'll be working on Cao Cao's campaign next.

Short update today. Updated the Kessen II walkthrough with two more battles. I've only got to do the Battle of Wu Chang and Wei-Shu Conflict, and I'll be done with Liu Bei's campaign. Then I can do the walkthrough for Cao Cao's campaign, and THEN I can set about getting the two secret stages and do those. Also added a new page for fan GIFs and updated the Links page.

So here I am, feeling pretty happy with my redesign, then I find out Mozilla screws it up. I went back and tightened up my HTML and CSS, since I did get kinda lazy towards the end (you would too, after all of that work). Luckily, I discovered the wonderfulness of CSS selectors, so I am happy.
Anyway, minor changes in the look of the site have been made since yesterday, most of which shouldn't be noticeble. I'm sorry to people who use Mozilla, but I refuse to lose any more of my precious little sanity making a layout that looks equally good in all browsers. Oh, the Kessen II stuff was moved off of the Other Stuff page and moved onto its own little page. I've also made a simple timeline chronicling the events in Dynasty Warriors; it was a quick thing to whip up, so I figured, "what the heck? I'll do it." More content is good. I think I spelled chronicling wrong. Oh well, I'm too tired to look it up. *yawn* Good night.

School chewed me up and finally spit me back out. So here I am. With a new design. Not worth the wait, truth be told, but it will do until Dynasty Warriors 4 comes out.
Obviously, the site looks different. That's the first change. I've also adjusted my pronunciation guide for what better damn well be the last time. I've added a page for kanji and other stuff, which includes am unfinished Kessen II walkthrough that I'm in the middle of writing. Links have all been checked, and tons of new Japanese fanart sites have been added. I still haven't done all of those profiles I haven't written yet *sweatdrop* because I'm working on that personality quiz, which, by the way, will kill me, if I don't kill myself first out of frustration.
So, anyway, there's still more stuff I want to add, like that relationship chart, a timeline, and the yaoi section. Speaking of which, if you have Three Kingdoms fanfiction or fanart, contact me, I'd love to host some fanworks here.
Oh, and if you happen to like Harry Potter, please check out The Leaky Cauldron's effort to raise money to buy the card with the plot of Book 5 written on it. All money raised goes to charity, so if you can, please donate.

I am so sorry about the lack of updates. Blame Koei. Dynasty Tactics and Kessen II have been eating up a lot of my time. Though I don't really have an update for you (yet), I thought I'd let you guys know I'm still alive, I still intend to finish this site, and what my plans for the site are.
First, I want to redesign the site. My original design no longer suits what the site has become and what I want it to be. Plus, it's not that pretty. So I'm gonna redesign it. While I'm redesigning, I will be editing all of my content as well, adding stuff to the profiles and trying to hide my very obvious Shu bias. I'd also like to redo my Japanese fanart links page and change the site's name from the "Dynasty Warriors 3 Character Guide" to just the "Dynasty Warriros Character Guide".
Right now I'm working on a Kessen II strategy guide, and I might also do a short Dynasty Tactics FAQ as well. That's what's been chewing up my time recently. When I'm done my Kessen II walkthrough, I'll post it on this site, since I have no where else to put it.
I wish I could give you a definite, specific date for the redesign and revamp, but things are just crazy these days, and it looks like they won't calm down until next year. Hopefully. But I'm not gonna wait that long for this site, no! I'll see what I can do before Thanksgiving.

Just when I thought I might be ready to update this site again, Dynasty Tactics comes out. Never fear: I will finish this site. Eventually. I promise. Until then, go play Dynasty Tactics.

Due to some changes in management at PoyznDotNet (our webhost), this site's address has changed. The new address is: http://www.poyzn.net/dw3 . Please update your links and bookmarks to reflect the change. No content updates yet, my plate is rather full and I'm a slow eater.
August 10, 2002
Finally broke down and made an updates page. I never thought this site would become as big as it has, so I thought I would never need an updates page. Never expected people to actually visit it, either.
For this update, I have removed the dead links and added some fresh sites to the links page. Also, I have uploaded place-holder pages for the profiles I still haven't completed. The profiles for Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Sima Yi, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao and Meng Huo are the only ones that need to be finished, now. Some adjustments to the Pronounciations page have been made, and the pronounciations for each character's names have been edited to make them slightly more correct.
I am working on many new additions to this site, including one of those personality tests that are so popular on blogs these days. I am also making a relationship chart and a yaoi section. The opinions section should be up soon, too.
