- CN changes Adult Swim Schedule/ Budokai DB Secrets Revealed
•Here's what's going on with CN's Adult Swim:
Ever since Cartoon Network announced that Adult Swim will be gone from Saturdays and extended to weeknights, fans had one question:
"What will happen to the programming on Saturday nights?"
Well, Adlink finally has the answer to the question. So, what's the result? Well, get this:
Starting on January 11, SATURDAY TOONAMI WILL BE EXTENDED TO SEVEN-AND-A-HALF HOURS! W00t!
Here's the schedule, from 6:30PM-2AM. (!)
6.5PM - Dragonball
7.0PM - He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
7.5PM - Max Steel (So, it IS coming to Toonami after all!)
8.0PM - Transformers: Armada
8.5PM - Zoids
9.0PM - Dragonball Z (full hour)
10.0PM - Justice League (full hour)
11.0PM - He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
11.5PM - Transformers: Armada
12.0AM - G.I. Joe (full hour)
1.0AM - Batman Beyond
1.5AM - Superman
Also, immediately after this super-block, Boomeraction and Superfriends will air.
Oh, yeah. Super Saturday will be gone on January 11 as well. Thank goodness!
In some other news, the Adult Swim weeknight schedule has been revised. It appears that Yuyu Hakusho hasn't been canned after all. Woohoo! Also, a couple of surprises (one you knew about for some time, and the other one you never thought would come to Adult Swim) are on the way! And it'll still be 3 hours long. (Whew! Thank goodness!) Here's the new schedule.
Sundays:
11:00PM - Futurama
11:30PM - The Oblongs
12:00AM - Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (full half-hour)
12:30AM - Williams Street stuff
1:00AM - The Ripping Friends
1:30AM - Mission Hill
Mondays-Thursdays:
11:00PM - Futurama

12:30AM - Inuyasha
1:00AM - Yuyu Hakusho (Yay! It's still around!)
1:30AM - Cowboy Bebop
These are the coolest schedules I've ever seen in my life! GO CARTOON NETWORK!

Now, here's the scoop on the how the DB's will work in Budokai...
"Using the Dragon Balls
What would a Dragon Ball Z game be without collecting the Dragon Balls and calling upon Shenron to grant a wish? In Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, you have the opportunity to do just that! You collect the Dragon Balls in two ways. The first is by going through the various chapters in Story Mode. Capsules are awarded after successfully completing a chapter and you may be lucky enough to get a Dragon Ball every now and then. The other way is to purchase them from Mr. Popo's Skill Shop. After winning some Zenie in the World Tournament (by placing either first or second), you can purchase capsules from Mr. Popo.
The key to getting the Dragon Balls is to look at the cost of the Recommended capsule. Dragon Balls cost 8000 Zenie, so if the cost is different, exit the Skill Shop, and then reenter it right away. The Recommended capsule will be different. Keep doing this until you have all seven Dragon Balls.
Once you have all seven Dragon Balls, go to the Skill List and scroll to the Dragon Balls. Press the X button. You will be asked if you intend to call up Shenron. Select Yes to call him. Shenron appears and gives you the option to select one of three Breakthrough capsules. A Breakthrough capsule gives you the ability to use all of a character's skills. For a character like Trunks, that means instead of having only 7 skill slots to customize your character, you get twelve!!!"
Thanks to Jason at Infrogames
Sadly, I'm a little dissapointed in the whole wishes thing...it could have been a lot better. Gaining skills isn't much to brag about. It would have been cool if you could wish for hidden characters, new transformations, weapons, or even to create your own character. But oh well, nothin' we can do about it.
You can also find 6 new vids and some new screen shots on GameSpot.

- DragonBallZ.com
•Dragonballz.com still need your opinions on what the new site should look like. They give you a choice of 4 layouts, and to be honest they aren't really up to par.
We can now see that they are getting closer and closer to finishing the site.
Latest from the budokai newsletter:
- They would appreciate it if someone could make them a button.
- 6 new vids at gamespot Click here
Thats all it really said.

- Poll Update! (about time too)/Akira in New York..
•The results to our over runned trivia poll(What power level was Gohan's strongest attack against Nappa?) are in. Less than half(40.35 %) of the visitors who voted got it right, the answer was 3000. The next poll questions are to gain statistics on our visitors to help improve the site. I will finally have time to add an update or two this thanksgiving holiday, my school(U.C.Irvine) has been really demanding and haven't had time to do much of anything.
Here's the word from DBZGTLegacy.com:
Steve from KH.com sent me this
" ... on December 6, in New York City, get ready for the Shonen Jump America Launch Party, an event so unbelievably awesome in its scope that there will NEVER be another one like it!!!
So why will it be soooooo cool … the original creator of Dragon Ball Z is coming over from Japan…Akira Toriyama himself!!!!! Reportedly it has been years since has left Japan. Can you possibly think of anything more cool ......"
This is the MUST ATTEND event for DBZ of all time!!! If you live in NYC, you better not miss this! Head to www.dbzcardgame.com for more information.

- Another Budokai Poster
•Yup, there's another, but not where you're thinking. Yes, the "real" poster will be included with U.S. versions of Budokai, but if you get your hands on a december issue of PSM, you'll find a nice surprise. A poster featuring 4 of your favorite characters, a catchy little phrase, and some totally awesome never-before-seen screenshots of the game. Unfortunately I'm cheap and don't own a scanner lol, so no pics, sorry guys. And I have to say that I'm pissed because it had the poster, but nothing included in the demo disc >.<, nor in the magazine itself...I mean come on people, how could they not even mention DBZ in the magazine when they had a huge poster in the middle of it? Lol. Anyways, don't go buy this if you want more than just something to hang on your wall.

- Greatest DBZ Event Ever!
•Check this out:
"There have been many, many super cool DBZ events in the past, but do you know about the grand daddy of ALL DBZ EVENTS? Well, on December 6, in New York City, get ready for the Shonen Jump America Launch Party, an event so unbelievably awesome in its scope that there will NEVER be another one like it!!!
So why will it be soooooo cool, and just what is this Shonen Jump we’re talking about? First, the reason that this event is ultra unique is this…the original creator of Dragon Ball Z is coming over from Japan…Akira Toriyama himself!!!!! Reportedly it has been years since has left Japan. Can you possibly think of anything more cool than the creator of Goku, Vegeta and the rest of Z-Warriors in attendance at this event? You honestly could not expect more of ANY event associated with Dragon Ball Z!!! All we can say is Wow! Double Wow! Triple Wow!
Second, Shonen Jump is one of the most popular and well-known Mangas (where the story of DBZ came from before the animated show) in Japan. It’s absolutely huge. Well, this big blowout will celebrate the launch of this very cool publication in America and give a warm “Welcome” to the cool folks at Shonen Jump. In fact, they are running a special promotion. For only $19.95 you can get a one-year, 12-issue subscription! When you consider that the news stand price is $4.95, that’s like saying, “Buy 4, get 8 free!”
And joining in on the fun will be Score Entertainment (the Hummer will be there!), Infogrames – the makers of the DBZ GBA games as well as the upcoming DBZ Budokai, Irwin Toys, the makers of the cool line of DBZ action figures, Viz Communications who produces Shonen Jump and Shueisha the parent company for all things DBZ, as well as our friends at FUNimation Studios!
Now you might wonder, where will it be and when? Here it is:
Friday, December 6, 2002
2:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m.
Chelsea Piers
New York, NY 10011
We will be utilizing the MAIN TENT on CHELSEA PIERS, next to the Skate Park. The MAIN TENT is 4,000 square feet with outer walls at 9-feet and the center of the tent is 14-feet.
Sooo…It is going to be a day filled with DBZ superstars and fun! And Score Entertainment needs your help! We are looking for 60 die-hard fans to help us out with this event by volunteering and becoming a sort of Saiyan for the Day. Besides getting to go to THE Dragon Ball Z event of the century, you will also earn a CCPP II and more. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and it will be on a first come, first serve basis. To register, click here to download the PDF and fax it back to us soon!
We are not kidding when we say that this event is the most perfect sparkling diamond of all DBZ events, ever. The question is, will you be there?"

- More Budokai Secrets?
•Well people, nothing official, but I finally spent sometime looking at screenshots of the game and noticed some wierd things.
1- Only 21 character openings are in the player selection screen, but 23 characters are supposed to exist. could there be more hidden characters?
2- If you drop by www.dbzonps2.com and browse through some of the more recent screenshots, you'll notice some wierd things. The one comparison I found that really sparked my curiosity were 2 of the new daily screen shots, which both featured Piccolo. Oddly enough, one of the Piccolo's had a different outfit on (which is captioned by dbzonPS2.com as looking suspiciously like Nail). But, if you look closer at the stats at the top of the screen shots, you'll notice differences in the facial expressions of the two Piccolo's. Perhaps it's some sort of glitch or something, but who knows.
3- Click here. You'll see a screenshot containing a pic of SSJ2 Vegeta and Goku fighting...which occurs after the Cell games. Now I'd love to know why that has been included in the game. The game is supposed to conclude at the end of the Cell Games. They've already pointed out that Saiyaman and Spopovich are in this game, and that saiyans may even go SSJ2...but it seems wierd that there is now the possibility of having 4 characters from post-Cell Games DBZ included in the game. Maybe they'll take it all the way through the series and have just kept their lips shut very tightly lol.
Anyways, this conspiracy crap I've just explained is probably total BS, but hey, maybe I'll get lucky and hit that 1/1,000,000 chance of being right about this stuff. Just thought you guys might be interested. Besides, every question we have about the game will be answered in just 2 weeks ^_^
