Genki's blog

As you may or may not have noticed, the site has been looking sort of different lately. And by different I mean completely broken. I want to personally apologize for the delay in service (and our week of downtime) and assure you that our team of highly trained philosophy majors are trying their best to get us back to 100% as soon as possible.

As always, thank you loyal readers for your undying support and unwavering loyalty in our bid for world domination.

Hi guys, as you've probably noticed, we've been kind of offline for the past few days. As you've probably guessed, this was due mainly to a combination of voodoo magic, corporate sabotage, and a freak accident which somehow caused MySQL to uninstall itself and take our database with it.

Hi guys, sorry for the inconvenience; but in order to prevent more site outages like we had earlier today, we will be moving servers tomorrow night at around 7:00PM PST.

Expect the site to be down for at least several hours as we get everything settled. We appreciate your patience as we try to provide you with the best experience possible. Thank you for your continued support of our little endeavor and we look forward to many more great experiences with this site!

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that after an extended hiatus, the Release-o-Meter is back and better than ever! Inside you'll find video game and film releases, sorted by month and date, and everything you need to know about them before deciding where to spend your hard earned cash. Only on the 8th are you going to find such a convenient list for both your gaming and moviegoing needs, so check back often for the lowdown on all of the hottest releases every month!

Hey guys, I know you all were expecting up-to-the-minute coverage of Comic-Con 09 from us representatives of the 8th. Sadly, equipment shenanigans prevented us from getting as much of our writing posted as we wanted it to. We really dropped the ball and we're sorry. However, to make it up to you, tomorrow we'll start our massive Comic-Con info dump. Everything we saw, everything we heard, you'll have it all here in one place. Sorry for the lateness, but hopefully we can make it up to you faithful readers in the next few days.

Hey everyone, just a reminder that we are still in the running in four categories for the 2009 Blogger's Choice Awards and we could really use your support!

Check out more details here!

Just got a twitter. I know you guys don't care, but just thought I'd put it out there, cheers! :D

Hey everyone! As you may already know, I will be covering the annual Newport Beach Film Festival this weekend and into next week. Expect coverage of the festival to begin appearing prompty; and if there's anything in particular you'd like me to check out for you, let me know soon!

Hey guys, really sorry, but we've run into a few snags with the site's new design. It is still on its way, but will take longer than we estimated to implement. Thank you for your guys's patience with the transition. On the bright side, look for us at the Newport Beach Film Festival this weekend and Mockfest in May! If there are any films in particular you would like us to review, please let me know asap and we'll try our best. Cheers mates.

Hey guys, as you may already know, the 8th-circuit is undergoing some redesigns. Because of this, you may notice some strange looking changes throughout this week pop up. Don't worry, this is only temporary as we transition into the new design. Expect the 8th to be down for most of this weekend (sorry ^^;) as we hopefully finalize the changes.

Hey everyone, I'm about to take a little time off with my family for spring break and I won't have access to a computer. While my fellow editors are going to be filling in for me, I apologize in advance for any lack of content on my part. Not to worry though, expect some big changes and improvements to come to the 8th in the next few weeks! Once again, thank you for supporting our website and for helping us to grow as much as we have in such a short amount of time. See you soon!

Sorry about the fewer than usual number of articles going up in the past week. My internet connection was out and I was unable to get any 8th-circuit work in. But I'm back now, so please bear with some slightly outdated articles as we try to catch up. Thanks!

Hope it was badass!

Hey guys, as you may have noticed, I have been unusually slow at posting news and articles as of late. This is because of impending finals (shudder) and final projects (shudder shudder). I have one more week to go, but unfortunately, it's probably going to be the most busy so far. Thanks for being patient with me and I promise content levels will increase to over 9000 very soon. Wish me luck in my finals, cya soon guys!

Hey guys, just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Be sure to keep an eye out for a special, post-thanksgiving podcast dropping early next week!
