Mr and Mrs Seagull

, , ,

Hey everyone, I just wanted to step back in real quick to officially let you all know that my absence has been due to a vacation. I recently got married and am spending a lot of time with the new bride. While I may not be spending my time at any new Sports Resorts, or Pokemon Islands, I do still enjoy sneaking in a bit of time with Animal Crossing or Poke-Platinum adventuring... hooray for my eighth badge finally!

But really I feel very happy with her and want to let you all know I am not gone, just taking a break from extra work for a little while.

GTA: N+ Wars

, , , ...

It just feels too good to make N+ artwork anymore! I love my Wacom tablet! Anyway, this month moderator Jayvee was gonna hit you up with something, and I started next month's art, only somehow I finished it in one sitting (with lunch in-between). Me and Jayvee talked about it, and since mine is ready to post and his is about 15 minutes away and his birthday is next month... we decided to just trade, so this month I bring you "Grand Theft Auto: N+ Wars" starring our leader .ed as the games hero/villain!

For a kicky sweet wallpaper visit our gallery of N+ artwork.

N+erview: Doujah Raze of Madworld

, , , ...


Hey guys, it's your Captain back with another musician N+erview. This time though, we've got Doujah Raze, one of the Hip Hop musicians who worked on MadWorld, which just released yesterday in North America! A word of caution before you cross the line: language is used "freely". For the most part, it's pretty clean, but if you are easily offended watch out as one or two words might spark something. Now, enough of the small talk, "Read more..." about the music behind the game, and the artist behind the music!

Hanafuda N+ In January

, , , ...

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a Happy New Year! I spent mine with a big bottle of non-alcoholic wine and all my neighbors in my Animal Crossing town of Rosewood. We watched fireworks light up the sky and even popped some fireworks ourselves.

N+ gets it's monthly make-over and this month I designed our header to reflect Nintendo's Hanafuda Playing Cards! Haha! You can now get these cards via Club Nintendo in North America, or if you live anywhere else in the world, you always have ebay. I'm not sure if Japan has these cards in their Club Nintendo anymore. Anyway, a wallpaper has not been finished, but keep your eyes peeled, I am working on it - times just got a little rough this past month for me is all. As a side note, the "spade N+ logo" item is an edit of one of Nintendo's original logos during one of their early stages. :wink: It wasn't their first, but it was one of the first. Of course the "+" wasn't there, and the letter "n" was smaller (you can now find that logo on the "Master of Illusion" game box art for DS). I hope you enjoy the new theme!

Happy New Year to you all, and everyone here at N+ sincerly thanks you for your support!

- Seagull and the N+ team :cheers:

Happy New Year 2009

, , , ...

Hey everyone, it was great year at N+, we had a lot of fun, a lot of games, a lot of news, and a TON of members come our way this year.

Here's looking toward 2009 with higher hopes, maybe N+ can continue to grow and get more featurific! Oh, and by the way did you know that now you can type www.NPlusNews.com into your browser and you will reach us?! Yeah, give a big thanks to LutherJW for that nice addition. Now it should be easier than ever to share our website with your friends via word of mouth :wink:

As per usual New Year's wouldn't be complete without Animal Crossing somehow making a big deal about it, so if you have Animal Crossing on the DS or Wii, get in there and visit Tortimer! There is super sweet New Year's music, and a big countdown. Have fun! What are your New Year's resolutions? Play more games? Play LESS games? Tell us in comments!

Everybody Votes: Election Day

, , , ...

This everybody votes is in close proximity of the elections going on in the United States right now. So why not see which Nintendo Character you would vote for President of N+! We have old timer Cranky Kong (who is in actuality the original Donkey Kong) to try to keep things running "Old School" running against fellow senator Brock. Brock is a newer character to the battlefield with less experience than Cranky Kong, but has plenty of new ideas, and is ready for a change! To vote for president simply cast your vote on the right side of the N+ blog page! Also you must be registered to vote, to register simply join N+ as a member!

The N+ Interview

, , , ...

We've come a long way. Today marks the billionth time N+ has graced a MyOpera front page and it's a doozy. The N+ Interview chronicles the foundation, beginnings, and philosophy behind N+ and it's glorious evolution within MyOpera. Am I boasting too much? Ok, ok, but if you want to know everything you don't know about N+ (including what's coming soon), check it, as told by Seaempty, CaptainSeagull, and myself.

Thanks Espen!

Enter The Beeks

, , , ...

It seems we are growing in numbers faster than previously expected, but The Challenge still stands. Recently Secretly we've been looking for another female to assist with blogging, forum... foruming, and all around enplussing.*

Let me oficially introduce Beeks. This girl caught my eye when I saw a Wiimote and pink in the same picture. Actually, she found us.

With Nintendo and gaming no longer being dominated by teenage boys, it's about time we had another female voice around here to tell us what's up. Also an art student Beeks proves she's creative and has heart. With a passion for Nintendo and gaming that is backed by a stellar knowledge of the culture, she's a perfect fit. Also, if there are any guys out there upset that we didn't pick you as our latest moderator, perhaps you should have made cookies.

In all seriousness, I'd like everyone to welcome Beeks as our latest N+ Moderator. As we grow we will surely need more. So keep recruitting! And add an badge to your About page with the code below!

* enplussing is now officially a word.

Logo Thoughts

, , , ...

WiiDark submitted the latest N+ logo you see to the right. Any feedback? I'm not happy about those black bars showing up, myself. The logo has to be 320x240. I'll leave it up for a while, and if a solution (updated image is created) please submit to the Captain or Seaempty also, as I will be helping a friend move today...

300 + Challenge

, , , ...

You know, yesterday I was thinking I should issue a challenge. To see if we could get 8 new members to bring us up to 300 by today. I didn't, and we hit the number anyway. Check out our Member List to see the latest N+ Members (hint: with the exception of the moderators on the first page, people are on the list in the order they joined). We've grown steadily over the months and have built an excellent community, active forums, a sexy blog, and kicky sweet content from our well informed members. Other sites are linking to us every day, so far we've been featured in over 110 blogs and over 22 gaming websites.

This got me thinking. I should issue a challenge to our 300 Members. A challenge against incredible odds...
I tried to think of something fun, rewarding, and kind of tough. Something that we can work together on. So here it is: Kill like a hundred thousand Persians.

Ha, no seriously... Lets try to get 500 N+ Members by the time Opera releases the Final Version of the Opera Browser for Wii, set for late March. Wha?! Don't worry, it's not nearly as difficult as killing 100,000 soldiers, but it's going to be tough. By working together, bringing in friends, brothers/sisters/cousins/coworkers/etc., promoting on our other personal sites with banners and links, spreading the word on N+ through message boards and other community sites, and spotlighting this blog (by clicking the spotlight link at the very top of the page) I am confident we can reach this number.

But Ed, you said this was going to be rewarding! Ah... well, it's hard to reward all 300 of you, some will undoubtedly work much harder than others, and many of the additional 200 will put in a great deal of effort as well. So I will proclaim the first 500 as N+ Founders. There will be a link in the Side Bar that will be a page that has all 500 of you named, honored, and of course, a link to your my.opera page. For those putting in even more effort, I will arrange something a little better, perhaps some Opera or Nintendo goodies (I have some stuff floating around here), and maybe we'll find out that we've got a future moderator in the ranks that we didn't even know about. This is your opportunity to really step it up and show us your support. So to see who is working the hardest, you can have the members you bring in leave a comment here letting everyone know who showed them the N+.

:knight::knight: FOR SPARTA! :knight::knight:
Update: I made an badge to put in your about or blog pages. Just place the below code

411 on 250

, , ,

411, as in Information:

This is our 411th blog post! Woo! Hardly a milestone compared to our Forums which grow too fast for me to worry about, but still, it feels good to have made such an impact. So I've added the Milestone tag. For those moments when we realize we surpassed one of our goals. In the future if you are ever curious as to what we think belongs in that category, just click the Milestone tag in the top right of this post to get a list. I backtracked a little and added some goodies :whistle: . And for those new, browse the Archive for some interesting finds and check out our roots.

Today's Milestone: Over 250 Members. :hat:

Thanks to everyone for their support, information, contributions, and for spreading the word to friends. Special thanks goes out to Opera, and of course Espen. Now let's double it! We get over 1,000 visitors a day but a lot of you aren't members, so Join and Link a friend now!
