Mace121's News

Posted by Mace121 - April 24th, 2022


A new link appeared: I made a Subreddit.


WHAT IS Lost Legends?


It’s a show that talks about lost video games, which can be beta builds, cancelled prototypes, and sometimes ones that either don’t exist or had little info about it. Think Beta64, but talks about the more obscure games. The show is going to be a full 12-episode season, and contained a variety of games I want to cover. The first 3 episodes are released simultaneously on Mace 2.0 & RABIT, and then the rest of them would be exclusive on RABIT.


What a usual Lost Legends episode be like?


Apart from an intro and ending, Lost Legends usually splits down to 4-5 chapters.


Chapter 1 - Brief History. Gives a brief introduction to the game's studios, creators, and the game in development.


Chapter 2 - The Game (or The Supposed Game). Gives a brief overview on the final game. If it's a cancelled game, then give an overview of what was going to be the game.


Chapter 3 - The Builds. The meat of the episode - Covers the game's early builds, demos, prototypes, etc. If it's multiple (or too many), then it covers the most interesting aspects.


Chapter 4 - The Pre-Release. Chapter covers on the game featured in magazine articles, ads, trailers, concept art, etc... Also, some content not shown in the playable builds.


Chapter 5 - The Miscellaneous Stuff. Last but not least, stuff that doesn't fit with the previous chapters. This includes cut content, theories I like to make, and... well, the miscellaneous.


THE SEASON 1 LINEUP:

Since this is a new series, these are the episode I wanted to cover. If there's a link, that means the episode is live.

Short answer: I'm a bit busy.


Long answer: I was working on a Youtube series called Lost Legends. Alongside that, I have a new Youtube Channel called RABIT that focuses on the new show. My main channel would focus on just "Mace Things," and I have a few plans on that. Why RABIT? Well, originally it was going to have 4 letters, but the best candidates (RBIT and RABT) are already taken. There are other rabbit-themed names suggested but they don't stand out.


Before I get too ahead of myself: WHAT IS Lost Legends?


It’s a show that talks about lost video games, which can be beta builds, cancelled prototypes, and sometimes ones that either don’t exist or had little info about it. Basically, it’s like the Red Dead & Twisted Metal videos, but a bit more streamlined. Another analogy that's related to this topic: Think Beta64, but rather talks about the more obscure games that isn't Nintendo or Rareware titles. The show is going to be a full 12-episode season, and contained a variety of games I want to cover. The first 3 episodes are going to be released simultaneously on Mace 2.0 & RABIT, and then the rest of them would be exclusive over there.


Right now, the first two episodes are already out (check lineup). Episode 1 was planned to be released in January, but due to my little town being flooded and I have to hole up in a motel for a couple weeks, I couldn’t get things done. Later, I manage to finish what I’ve started, and the results is... A bit clunky. The second episode fixed some issues, and the 3rd would rectify more if I found some more issues.


It’s not just finishing the two episodes, I was working on the scripts for the ENTIRE SEASON since November-December. Some needed work than others, and a couple episodes had to be replaced or rearranged. Most of them are at a point where it’s nearly done, and I wouldn’t waste too much time writing the whole thing, even the upcoming 3rd episode.

The Games to Cover?


As there are things to cover, there’s a few I won’t do like the ones Beta64 covered like Diddy Kong Racing, Mario 64, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time & Majora’s mask. Not because he covered them, but everyone else did it, and what would my interpretation stand out? Yeah, exactly. This season's lineup are all games I want to cover. If you're reading this right now you could throw in a game I could cover.


Another thing I won’t cover is when it comes down to playable builds, right? You really think I should cover ALL 50 BUILDS of Ghost Rider which ranges from a few weeks, days or in some cases: hours from each other? Nah, that would take forever. One thing I could do is cover them by the earliest build and go on by the month, just to avoid making this an hour long segment (and save hard drive space). That's only IF I plan on making an episode like that.


Last thing is when it comes to emulation, I can simply record the gameplay myself. If it’s something else like running an old Windows application that’s not compatible to Windows 10 or god-forbid playing an Xbox game, then I nab someone else’s. Ever wonder the latter, don’t get me started on how finicky Xbox emulation really is. There's only a few Xbox games that could run properly, last time I checked. Then again, Xbox isn't the only emulator I have issues with.


Like I said earlier, Season 1 cover games I want to talk about. This here is the whole SEASON 1 lineup.


E1 - Ratchet: Deadlocked (The Demo)

E2 - Gran Turismo (Multiple Betas)

E3 - Battlebots (Cancelled PS2/GC Game) (IN DEVELOPMENT)

E4 - Shantae's Sequels (Cancelled Games)

E5 - DUSK (Multiple Betas)

E6 - Re-Volt (Pulled Ports)

E7 - Malice (The Betas)

E8 - Rayman 2 (The Cancelled 2D Version)

E9 - Turok: Evolution (Beta)

E10 - 3D Pinball (Beta)

E11 - TBA (Part 1)

E12 - TBA (Part 2)


iu_600443_3347235.png

If you want the TL;DR - I'm focused on my Youtube series about Betas and Cancelled video games. I'm open to suggestions on what games to cover somewhere down the line.


Extra: I still have an Artstation Page.


Yeah, in case you're wondering I haven't posted my art here for a while, to the point I posted a whopping 2 pieces last year. Well, I wish to post some more here, but I don't think the majority of my recent works are good enough for the Art section on this site, so I posted a majority of my art, on my Artstation page. It also contained some of my scrapped works and even a bit of my custom Re-Volt content.

I haven't been active on this site for a while... Well, technically I am, but I just wanna check some of the art I was following. Sometimes I post my own art here... Twice this year. Actually I did made more than that, but two of these are better to post here.


iu_505061_3347235.webp


Besides just posting art, what was I doing? What accomplishments have I done? Let me count the ways:


>(One of) The first people witnessed gameplay of Twisted Metal Harbor City, that Twisted Metal Black sequel that was cancelled.

>Got a full-time job.

>Bought a new PC with an RTX GPU. In other words: Bought a PC that could run Unity games and then some.

>Started to use Steam

>Upgraded my PC (More RAM, more storage space, more fans)

>Upgraded my PC setup (new mice, TV, monitors, etc.)

>Found & reproduced THAT Daikatana ad, because no one else decides to do it (let alone find the magazine that has it).

>Learn to do some photography

>Home survived natural disasters. Twice: One was the summer wildfires, and another was a flood occurred last month as of this post.

>Become a patron

>Become a Kickstarter Backer

>Preordered my first game... And it doesn't suck ass. Hot Wheels Unleashed btw.

>Got my first Hot Wheels Redline. The genuine late 60s-early 70s kind.

>Become a Red Line Club member, then bought 2 RLC exclusive cars.

>Finally found that Jampack Winter 2001 demo disc I've been searching for 13 years.

>Bought some Christmas presents for my family members

>Opened a new Youtube Channel for a series I'm working on. Still under construction.


2021 may not be the year of my artistic integrity, but here's to hope that it gets better in 2022... And Nike is counting their days that they need to deliver on making this car Gran Turismo 4 predicted ages ago.

10 years this account stands... A full fecade, double digits of my name on this place. So I was in 7th grade when I discovered Newgrounds, but before the name that is Mace, there was DCXME01. So what's that stand for?


FUCK ALL. There's no abbreviation, but it sounds like some serial code for... something. Back then, I don't know how or why I signed up on this place, but it was probably the in-site achievements where you play games or watch some flash movies. Originally, that was the one intention: make flash-based content... Until I learned the hard way that flash movies & especially games is much harder than anticipated. So I did art instead, and it took me well over 6 years to get scouted due to the site's gatekeeping practices... Maybe to weed out the poor quality art made in MS Paint, but still.


I still do art, occasionally. But now I'm making some custom Re-Volt content, like this conversion from some certain skateboarding game that was recently announced to get a remaster. May not be the greatest THPS level, but like an annoying sidekick, it still sticks around.

So I haven't uploaded a Youtube video since March, people are overreacting on COPPA thinking that they're gonna get fined an unnecessary amount of money because of uploading a video, and Youtube Rewind still blows. So what about me? Eh, nothing much. Tried to make a video, but ideas keep getting scrapped for not being decent, still modeling a certain bunny girl which I started since May, and a possibility that I'm working at retail, tomorrow morning.


Well, nothing much more, but I have watched Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal which is fuckin' awesome (even though half the season was aired), Green Eggs & Ham on Netflix was surprisingly good, and 100% Ratchet Deadlocked like a madman. My little Hot Wheels collection goes strong at nearly 440 cars, almost filling up my 4th case with only 5 cars left to complete the set, but a lot of cars left in my backlog, fit for the 5th case.


So by 2020, I may have a nice fresh set of ideas on what to do, next. Maybe a video, maybe some more art, and maybe I'll find that Hot Wheels Wail Tale which I've been looking for since forever. I used to have that car as a kid & loved it. Shame it only lasted one time in stores and never again.

Moved in since Friday, exactly. It was supposed to be Thursday, but due to lawyer squabbles over wording in documents (yeah, figure how that shit works), it was delayed a day later. I got my own room like last time, but more spacious. Downside is no closet to jam my hoodies in, but not to worry, because my main dresser is replaced with a bigger one, along with a longer dresser to stick my hoods in.


Place looks nice, cozy, had functioning appliances that's not over 30 years old, and best of all: 3 bathrooms. Best to say is that it's the best house I live at thus far.


Posted by Mace121 - July 3rd, 2019


...Moving in 3 weeks, meaning I got a couple days without internet, and a metric shitton of house crap to move. But at least it's not far... Across town, specifically.


So in this house I'm living in, there are some structural problems, and one glaring flaw was it's foundation isn't great. Another was the house appliances are outdated; one of them is the Stove/Oven/Dishwasher combo from the 60s, and the dishwasher was broken. The washer & dryer are on their last legs; the washing machine was fixed, since that transmission was broken, while the dryer doesn't dry that great on cold days... Not to mention the vent where the dryer shit blows out comes in the garage, fogging it up when the garage is closed.


The new house my family & I are moving to had more up-to-date appliances, more bathrooms, and 4 bedrooms. That, and a big shed to store more shit in. Doesn't sound like a mansion, but this is my parent's first time to actually buying a house with a mortgage. Can't fuggin' wait.

Whenever comes down to racing games, there will be your Gran Turismos, Wipeouts, F-Zeroes, and your Garfield Karts. Now racing games have come in all shapes & sizes from cars, bikes, boats, and anti-gravity ships... Now one subgenre that not many has delved into are R/C racing games.

 

Of course there are some, but not alot. RCs have been around long before than you think (of course the 80s is where the RC peaks in popularity), but such a rare sight in video game form... Even more rare if you only count the good ones. Within the next week or so, I'm gonna count down the Top 5 RC Racing games. Enjoy this thumbnail.
