As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
Or it might be because Bluehost *finally* got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am *so mad* at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they *still* haven't answered it!
A new audio interview published Monday by the Press the Buttons Podcast reveals the idea of a Sonic movie, now firmly entrenched in the minds of fans around the world, is not a new idea.
Console Wars author Blake Harris revealed in the Podcast that in the midst of his research for the book detailing the great battle between Sega and Nintendo for supremacy during the 1990s, he came across plans for MGM to release a Sonic film–in 1994.
I’ve continued to conduct interviews with people, just to try and get more context, and I’ve also continued to try to get my hands on as much archival material as I can. Some of it can obviously be helpful to the documentary, but I recently found — I came across a contract that Sega had with MGM in 1994 to produce a Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which I didn’t know about, and I’m sure it couldn’t weave its way into the book…
Harris adds it was intended was an animated movie.
It’s not the only Sonic or Sega related story you’ll hear in the interview that may not be in Console Wars. You can hear more with Harris at this at this link.

If you had to choose one historical event of the gaming history to be turned into a book and a movie, you will probably choose the raging console wars between Sega and Nintendo that in the 80′s and 90′s made the industry grow in incredible ways and that gave us so many great games, an exhaustive race to overgrow their rival.
Blake Harris surely did think it, and so he wrote a book called “Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo and the battle that defined a generation“, who will be released at Americans bookstores this may, and next August in UK.
But not only that, Sony Pictures and Scott Rudin, of The Social Network and Moneyball fame, are on the works to bring the book into a movie, directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Not much more is known, except that Blake Harris is making his own take of it too as a documentary film who will coexist with the hollywood movie made by Sonic Pictures.
So, would yo go to the cinema to see a movie about the Sega Vs Nintendo wars?
