Mailbag
Welcome to the Mailbag, where your questions
get answered... Or at least some of them, anyway. If you've got something
that hasn't been posted before, than this is where it can happen. Unanswered
questions is the main focus, but I receive practically everything, from
facts and findings, to codes and creations.

Slow
But Steady...
The wonderful weather is here, but the webmaster is feeling
under the weather. Despite feeling like crap, I somehow found the
energy to tackle my mailbox, and put together another edition of
the Mailbag. If you've got something to say or something to share,
you know where to send it:

 Here's
some neat hoaxes of Sonic in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
|
 This
game won't e released until next year, and we already have some controversial
screenshots floating around the Internet...
Despite
the disclaimer, some people will surely believe that these screenshots
are real... It's all in learning how to read the text that goes beside
all these pretty pictures.
This website is so much fun... I love it! |
 for
SSBM why dont you do a character rating poll
to see who is the top rated super smash bros melee character
please write back.
A few years ago, an anonymous poll was featured on the SSBM
website, and Mario was the hands down winner... Other honorable
mentions included Marth & Roy, Yoshi, Bowser, and Link...
Other places on the web seem to rank Mario and Link as the fan
favorites. It might be interesting to conduct a more scientific
poll sometime in the near future, just to see if people's favorites
have changed. |

 Dear
DetStar,
I saw the promotion for the upcoming comic adventure, "AGENT
MARLEY". I was just wondering; shouldn't Dexter have
a ray gun, instead of an Uzi? He is an alien, after all.
Although most extra-terrestrials would
likely be equipped with some sort of mega death ray, Dexter has
been stranded on this planet for as long as he can remember. He
grew up with primitive Earth weapons, and has learned to be rather
deadly while using them

 Remember
the mailbag in May 15 that there were a bunch of F-Zero GX stuff?
When I came across the critters driving the UFOs that save you they
are not really Chaos at all. If you Observe closely they have VERY
tiny legs and Chaos don't have legs. Here is an even closer screenshot
of it.
Very interesting
indeed... I'm not sure how you managed to get such a close screenshot,
but it's still hard to tell exactly who these little blue critters
are. They look as much like aliens as they look like elves... |

 Can
you show some pictures of the Gameshark for N64 and
the Action Replay for the GameCube?
|
 No
problem.
A Gameshark is a cartridge that you plug your games into. These two
'stacked' cartridges then slide into your Nintendo 64 system, giving
you the ability to manipulate the memory as you see fit.
For Action Replay, it's a disc plus a memory card. The Action Replay
memory card goes into slot #2, and the Action Replay disc goes in
your GameCube. Enter the codes you want, and once finished, you'll
be prompted to swap the Action Replay disc for your game disc (Smash
Bros, Mario Kart, etc). |

 Are
you going to create a section for the upcoming Super
Smash Bros Brawl game on Nintendo Wii?
I'd hate to think of how much more
expensive it would be to run another gamesite... But covering
Super Smash Bros Brawl seems too tempting to resist.
My mind will probably subconsciously put together a dozen
webpages after I've played the game for one day...
If only someone would send me a copy of the game as soon as
its released... That way, I wouldn't have to spend valuable
hosting money purchasing my own copy. (Ha! One can only hope.)

 I'd
like to see more sexy pictures of Candi Skyler. |
You would, huh? Well, ok. You twisted my arm. Enjoy a few snapshots
of Candi in the Mars Prison battleground.
Coincidentally, Candi Skyler shares a name with another blonde
bombshell... Candi Skyler is good with guns, while Candi from
Dexter Comics uses her guns to get what she wants. |

I love ur site but I'd really like it
if u had a search engine
I've had plenty
of requests to add a search engine... There are so many pages on Detstar,
that even I have to sometimes use Google to locate specific articles
that I've written years ago.
Although I don't have any plans of incorporating a search bar, there's
a nifty trick to ensure that Google will only search Detstar pages...
For example, if you were searching for information on Xenia Onatopp,
this is what you would type into Google:
|
xenia
onatopp site:detstar.com
|
Likewise for
a search on Bowser:
The string
of words looks a bit strange, but you can't argue with results.
This will give you anything and everything that Detstar has to offer
for any given topic. Hope this helps.
Just remember...
site:detstar.com

 You
said you sent an inquiry to FreeRadical to be their webmaster,
but wouldn't it be kind of hard and tiresome to run 2 sites?
If I worked for Free Radical, I wouldn't need to have a "real"
job, which would make it easier to do stuff for Detstar. It
would still be tons of work - But working on a video game company's
website while running Detstar could produce some interesting
results.
Nothing like this could ever happen though... Only an adventurous
company would take a chance on a good for nothing, punk-assed
webmaster who's been running his own site for 7 years. |
 I
was reading your latest mailbag and noticed the N64 controllers
email. I was at a McDonalds the other day and happened to take
a picture of one of the N64 controllers hooked up there because
it was funny. I have attached the picture and I think you will
understand why it is funny.
I wonder if the person broke it out of frustration while attempting
the Master difficulty on F-Zero GX....
Still though, I wouldn't touch one of those things with a ten
foot pole... Using a public controller is about as safe as eating
a happy meal off the floor. |
 Make
DetStar a 5 dollar a year payment. please and thank you
Although the entrance fee for the Members
area is $10 for one year, consider this... None of the accounts have
been closed yet.. So anyone who paid for a Membership in 2004 still
has access, as a thank you for supporting the website...
If you're willing to pay $5, what's wrong with $10? I assure you that
it's a lot less than the monthly hosting bill for this elaborate setup.
The time is coming when all of the best stuff will be for Members
only... But the first group of members will be rewarded with a bonus
year.
Some people have chosen to label me as cheap and selfish for offering
member content as a reward for the people who help pay for the website...
But if I were truly cheap and selfish, I would have closed this whole
website years ago. |
 Dear
Detstar, I have a question, how did you hear about the beta version
(of Goldeneye 007)?
Through the wonders of the Internet... I had seen pictures in gaming
magazines that didn't quite match up to how it looked in the finished
game, as well as the snapshots on the back of the box... Then there
were all the unexplained mysteries about the game...
But Rareware even had "beta" screenshots on their website,
and it became clear that many changes were made before the game was
finished... This intriguing aspect of 007 made the game even more
addictive. |
