Updated Messages section - 8:23 PM - Tempest

I have revamped the Message section with a new background, leaner html code and I have put messages in two years group. Moreover the section should look fine no matter your monitor resolution. The new section will also be easier to update and maintain (two reasons why this section as looking a bit abandoned lately).

Updated Links and Rings section - 2:40 PM - Tempest

I removed dead links in the Links Section and added new ones. I have made minor fixes to the html code and remplaced the background for the description with a transparent PNG image (it makes the text easier to read and overall, the page looks better).

New review: Dragonslayer - 11:24 PM - Tempest

I have heard a lot about this movie so I decided to review it. So far it's not exactly what I was expecting , the special effect aren't very impressive by today's standard but this movie still has achieve some sort of reference amongst dragons movie.

So if this movie interest you, feel free to check the review and the screenshots I have taken.

Minor fixes around the site - 12:52 PM - Tempest

I have fxed a lot of link between the colba and dragnix server. It not a major update but it should be now easier to navigate around the website.

New review: Dragons - Destiny of Fire - 6:33 PM - Tempest

I have stumbled on this little known animation: Dragons - Destiny of Fire. It has a classic story of a prince who has to fight an evil overlord in order to free the land from tyranny but imagine that with little dragons and some battle scenes worthy of The Lord of the Ring and you got something worth watching.

There is no screenshots or trailer available as I'm writing this but it shouldn't take too long before I add them on the site along the review.

New Review: Evolution (2001) - 7:55 PM - Tempest

I have added another review to the list: Evolution (2001). The movie doesn't have a very high dragon content but it's still worth seeing.

Also, I have fixed a lot of small bugs in the html code of this section.

New Review: Nezha Conquers the Dragon King - 6:36 PM - Tempest

I have managed to get a rare Chinese animation from a shady dealer: Nezha Conquers the Dragon king. I remember seeing it on TV when I was a kid. I would have to dig a bit more about the story because as I understand it, there are more than just one myth about this boy and his birth alone raise a lot question about the background of this character; someone who is born from an lotus flower looking like an egg, after a three and an half years gestation... does the father is part dragon (not something unheard of in Eastern mythology) or was his wife unfaithful, or is it just the Chinese equivalent of the storks stories? At any rate, it truly brought back some old memories... an animation worth seeing.

Also, I really like truly transparent png better than gif with transparent and non-transparent pixels so I have changed the background here to png. Those using IE v6.0 and those who use an old browser may see an opaque background but I want to reiterate that it is only because IE 6 (as well as other old browser) do not support transparent png and not because I want to force anyone here toward one browser or another. It is more convenient for me to change the background now than having to manually change every past and future lines of code that call the old background. Moreover this is not exactly the most interesting section of the website so I don't think people with old browsers will truly be bothered to not be able to see all the eye candy here.

New Review: Dungeons & Dragons - Wrath of the Dragon God - 6:54 PM - Tempest

It seems like I'm only reviewing movies these days but ah well, there is a new review in the Analog and Digital section: Dungeons & Dragons - Wrath of the Dragon God. Hope you enjoy.

I have noticed that the captcha in the artistic section wasn't displaying properly. This has been fixed and everything should works fine now.

New Review: Dragon's World - A Fantasy Made Real - 8:28 PM - Tempest

Add another review to the Analog and Digital section: Dragon's World - A Fantasy Made Real.

New Review: Mulan - 8:33 PM - Tempest

Along with the newest addition to this section, the Mulan review, I have added the trailer of Reign of Fire and did some minor code fix. Also, I have changed the trasparency of the movie/show tag by using a semi transparent png instead of a grid with transparent and non transparent pixels. The new background is definitively better and the text is easier to read (see the Before / After picture). However, old browsers like IE 6 do not support tranparent png but you don't have to worry, the background will be completely opaque for you which won't prevent you from reading the page, or anything but you wont have the transparent eye candy.

Lastly, the featured review list is now entirely random. The script used isn't perfect yet (sometime displaying the same review more than once (it will eventually be fixed)), but I no longer to hard code the links every single page anymore. It worked well when there was few reviews but as the list grew larger, this change was necessary. Extension of pages are now php instead of html so old link may need to be updated.
