We've finally rolled out our SQL-based collection system. The new system should be faster than the previous system and will be more friendly towards future database expansion.
A few new minor features have been added:
- Hardware/Software dropdown menu
- Sort by Hardware/Software in stats
- View all page to view your whole collection
The first time you use the new system it may take a while to transfer your collection over. After the first page load, it should run quicker and you should be ready to go! Please post any bugs in the announcements forum. Enjoy!
Today is a momentous occasion for RF Generation, as today is the day that we hit 1000 members! We are quite humbled to have reached this milestone in under three years of operation. We hope you enjoy the community we've got going here, certainly we here on staff do. Are you not a member yet? Feel free to join by clicking here! All the cool kids are doing it!
You might be wondering who the lucky 1000th member is. The answer to that question is Yurf! Congratulations on being the 1000th member! We hope you enjoy the collection tools and community as much as everyone else does!
Also, since today is Monday, we have a new set of features for you to enjoy! Our featured game this week is the decidedly different Mario Paint. Is it a good game, or is it something to be passed on? Be sure to check out Mezmoron's opinion on the game. Our featured collection belongs to nupoile! Primarily an NES collection, nupoile also has such treasures as a Vectrex, Odyssey^2, and an Atari 5200! Be sure to check his collection out. Rounding out the features are the featured hardware, the Memory Card 251 [Pokemon Box Red-Blue], and image, of front cover of the box for Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd. Special thanks goes out to Mezmoron for getting those features up with his very busy schedule.
From all of us here at RF Generation, thank you for helping us get to this milestone. We couldn't have done it without you, and we hope that you decide to keep it tuned to channel 3. Stay tuned, more is always to follow when you put it on channel three. See you in the chat!
Hello, fellow RF Genners. The weekly polls are up in the Video Game Generation forum and in the Idle Chatter forum. Please participate in the polls and don't forget our weekly Monday night chat at 7p.m. Central Standard Time. This week we will be talking about Windows Vista, the likes and dislikes between PC gaming and console gaming, and whatever else turns up. See you on Monday and don't forget about our polls. Take care and keep it tuned to RF Generation and Channel 3.
It's hard to believe. One year has passed since RF Generation lost its webmaster and co-founder, Michael Collins. In that year, we've had the time to cope, adjust, and move on, but I am sure I am not alone when I say that I miss Mike. I grieved, like many people grieved, and it still sucks to this day that Mike is gone. Mike touched the lives of many, and the community lost someone special when he passed away. Without Mike there may very well never had been this website. This website, its content, values, and community, are a reflection of who Mike was. It's special knowing that fact.
You may have never known Mike, or perhaps you were one of his good friends. Regardless of who you are, we hope that you will never forget that Mike was not only one of the driving reasons behind this site, but also a friend to many and one of the nicest leaders you could ever meet. Mike had this crazy idea when he founded the site that "No one should be forgotten". Well, if that is such a crazy idea then mark me insane. No one here should ever be forgotten, especially someone as wonderful of a human being as Mike. We will never forget you Mike, and we hope that neither will you, the members of our wonderful little community on the internet.
Mike touched the lives of many. Knowing this and what a wonderful person Mike was today we launch our memorial of Mike. Mike may be gone, but he is certainly not forgotten. We hope that on this day you will take the time to read a bit about why Mike was such a wonderful person to many. Perhaps you would like to contribute to our memorial through your own memories or reflections, and if so we encourage it. We hope though that you will take the time though to at least get a glimpse of who Mike was and why he was a friend to many.
Today RF Generation pauses to remember a friend who has passed on. Mike, you are gone, but you certainly are not forgotten.
This week is Super Heroes week! Whether they fly through the air, use their cunning and skills, or, like the featured "super-hero" this week (The Punisher), use guns and guts to fight the bad guys, we love them all. Our featured game of the week is, surprise, The Punisher for the Xbox, one of my personal all-time favorites. The game, while somewhat similar to most 3rd Person shooters, includes some unique attributes, like interrogation that you might find interesting, to say the least.
The featured image this week is the Punisher for the NES and the featured hardware for the week is the Super Scope 6. A big gun ANY super hero might use...maybe.
Our featured collection is that of DatenshiBlue who not only has a great game collection, but a respectable game-related action figure collection.
Check out the game page for The Punisher for Xbox and see all the cheats for the game as well as the latest review.
And as always, stayed tuned to channel 3.
Today RF Generation reached several milestones. The first milestone is that we now have over 14,000 screen shots in our database! In addition, we now have over 33,000 images in the database! These feats are a huge accomplishment, given that a little under a week ago we announced that we had passed the 32,000 images mark. Many thanks go out the following people: Tan, freak_boy, kevincal, JWKobayashi, RAMBO, Fuyukaze, AndyC, Belgarath, bum-man and anyone else I may have missed. Without these guys there is no way we could have gotten from 32,000 to 33,000 images so quickly.
In addition to the milestone that we reached in the images category, today we also passed the 8000 mark for the number of approved submissions made since we began logging submissions back at the end of October of Last Year! I would like to thank everyone who has helped to make this feat possible, but there are a few people that I would like to give special thanks to. Tan and Fuyukaze are our two submitting machines. Tan has had almost 2350 submissions since the logging system began, and Fuyukaze has almost reached the 1500 milestone. Thatââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s a lot of submissions made between the two of them, and we appreciate the dedication it took to complete all those submissions. We also would like to thank everyone who helped us reach this milestone, while there are too many people to specifically name please know that we very much appreciate all the submissions that are made to the site. Do you want to join in on the submitting fun? Click here If you would like to join in the submission party!
So far 2007 has been a great year. Since January 1st we have added over 4000 images to the database. Lets all keep up the great work. Maybe we can get to 50,000 by the end of the year! Keep them submissions coming! Surely weââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ll be able to make this goal with your help!
Keep it on Channel 3 and see you on the forums.

Hey everyone! I picked up my copy of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Collector's Edition on Tuesday at Game Stop. I pre-ordered and paid the game off a while back and couldn't wait to get it. I think the Uncharted Series is one of the best game series out there there, (well besides Halo). I know there are some great series releases this month such as Elder Scrolls, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Halo Anniversary Edition, and last month was Battlefield 3. But this one is a great release. The Collector's Edition is pretty cool the game comes in a steel book case which is in a wardrobe case. In the wardrobe case is two drawers the top drawer holds a necklace with the ring from the first game on it. The second drawer holds the belt buckle with a horseshoe that Drake wears in the games. I for one will never wear either because it de-values the game with the items being used. The steel book case is pretty cool because it has a great artwork on it the game is inside the wardrobe hanging on the door. The final item in the wardrobe is the statue. The statue is pretty detailed, I didn't take it out of the plastic because I want to keep it brand new, it also comes with an AK-47 a basic gun in the game that Drake likes to use. The game play is pretty much the same as the rest but it is exciting and can't wait to begin and finish the game (I have to finish the second game first). Also my brother purchased the strategy guide for the game, the Collector's Edition guide to be exact. The guide is a hardcover book with the Soundtrack included for the game. Hope you all enjoyed the unveiling and here are some pictures to go with it.

As you've probably noticed, we are now Android Generation. We feel this change will make us better suited for the future of gaming and technology in general. We're confident in that in a few short years, everything will be Android powered, so we're jumping on board sooner rather than later. Soon, our entire database and collection tools will be optimized for Android devices. However, since all of our development time will be going into that, we will no longer have the time or resources to update the current versions, the ones designed for your PC, whether you use Windows, Linux, or Mac, you'll soon be unable to visit Android Generation, or use our collection tracking tools. So, if you don't already have an Android device, you better go get one ASAP.
We'll also be mandating all members have our current App installed in order to continue to be registered here. So, if you haven't already download it here now so you won't be deactivated after this transition is complete.
And remember to keep it on Channel 3 your Android Device!
