In The Beginning…

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Man, this is like some Japanese tv show: The main characters are fighting this villain, they have been for awhile, and part way through the battle he transforms. Not only does he look different now, but he also has some new abilities. The show spends the next couple episodes explaining just how much power this evil dude has released through his transformation, and the good guys are looking scared. And then, after a lot of luck and some cool fights, the protagonists finally have the all-powerful menace on the ropes, but he is grinning, he has one last trick up his sleeve: A blog format web-page! ‘WELCOME TO OUR SITE!!!’ He says “WELCOME TO PENGUINBROS.COM V3.0!!!”

As you have noticed, we have made a few changes. The new games are separated from the old ones. My different galleries have been put into a portfolio format, but this gallery is only temporary; a new, more powerful one will be put into effect later. There is something new in the Phat Comics section: a comic I have been drawing for the last couple months, it’s almost done. And on top of this, everything looks completely different. I want to thank those who have given us their patronage since we called our site ‘Penguin Land’ in 1999, and honor those who have stumbled upon our site in the last couple years, and for you newcomers: a hardy welcome.

First post at night, website delight.

If you’ve asked me why I haven’t been updating Penguinbros.com for months, or what I have been doing all summer, you would get the same answer: I’ve been working on Penguinbros.com. And here it is! Surprised? In spring, Red Penguin and I decided that we needed a more dynamic and powerful website. Sure, it sounded simple on paper, but this particular omelet required breaking a couple of digital eggs. Luckily, the hard part’s over.

Penguinbros.com now operates through Wordpress, which if you didn’t know is a customizable blog interface. My thought was if it’s easier to update, there will be more updates! Although Penguinbros v3.0 was a large update for the structure of the site, it was a visual overhaul as well, so at least some of this transformation won’t be lost on the Yu-Gi-Oh crowd.

Since the site is in its baby steps, any or all (preferably all) problems should be reported to admin@penguinbros.com. We will be updating the page here and there, so if something moves, Don’t Panic! Lots of sweet, sweet content is on the way. It’s a great time to visit Penguinbros.com. Actually, it’s always a great time to visit Penguinbros.com.

Oh, a note to all of you nice people out there. Thanks to Wordpress, you can now comment on our posts. Wowie Zowie! The link to register is on the bottom of the sidebar over there, but to make it easier on your wrists just click this link here.

And one last thing. I’m going away to college tomorrow… Frosty Village U, to be exact. It’s very exciting, but it also means I’m going to be away from the website for a bit. Good. I could use a vacation.
