Staff [We want you!]

Unseen 64 is hiring! Are you a beta addicted? Do you like to write about videogames? Are you a master in finding infos, images or videos through google? Are you a real geek? Do you want to help Unseen64? Then you are welcome to join us! We don’t need perfect english skills, but lot of passion for beta videogames and a bit of craziness. Just send us an e-mail and we’ll be happy to add you in our unseen crew! We cannot pay you, but we are sexy <3
[ITA] Unseen 64 è nato come sito italiano, ma stiamo cercando di tradurre i contenuti in inglese in modo che sia comprensibile senza problemi dal maggior numero possibile di appassionati. Pur cercando di puntare su di uno staff inglese, saremmo felici di avere altri italiani nel nostro gruppo! Cari amanti della pizza, fatevi avanti! Tutte le seguenti posizioni sono aperte anche in versione italiana (ovvero, cerchiamo persone italiane esperte di videogiochi, per scrivere intro, articoli o cercare immagini e video).
In particular we are searching for:
English Jr. Writers: to write small intros (5 / 10 lines), with a little description of the game, the reason of the cancellation or the differences between the beta and the final version.
English Senior Writers: to write articles about beta games, with deeper analyze of the development, cancellation or differences. Senior Writers should love videogames and write only about games that they really like.
English Translators: to eventually correct the crazy engrish of the italian staff and translate Italian text into English, with the help of automatic language translators like Babelfish.
Unseen Researchers: to find beta images or videos through google or looking at scans of old videogames magazines. If you are a nice geek that loves videogames, has good eyes and patience, this could be your favourite role!
3D Designers: we are trying to find someone that is able to create a simple 3D animated video, with few poligon cont (Saturn / N64 level?) to develop a “secret unseen project”. If you can make 3D videos or know someone that is able to, please send us an e-mail!

monokoma: webmaster di Unseen 64, impiegato sopratutto nella ricerca di screenshot & video beta, forse scriverà anche qualche articolo. Assuefatto dai giochi beta ormai da anni è arrivato ad avere cartelle grandi parecchi GB con screenshot e video.. a quel punto ha capito che sarebbe stata ora di aprire un sito per catalogare tutto quel materiale. Mente dinamica, sempre ricca di interessi e cose da fare. Peccato che gli manca sempre il tempo per riuscire a fare tutto. Alla fine non fa mai un cazo. E’ un genio nel perdere tempo ed oziare. Ma si sta impegnando per riuscire a sviluppare nel migliore dei modi questo nostro sito, organizzando gli altri membri del gruppo ed i materiali necessari. Dopotutto è un gran bravo ragazzo.

Stere0: archivio vivente di una quantità enorme di vecchie riviste di videogame, grande risorsa per foto beta introvabili online. Certo ancora dobbiamo metterci a scannerizzarle tutte. Prima o poi? Amico di mono ormai da anni, Stere0 è stato intrappolato con l’inganno a far parte di Unseen64 ed è stato costretto a lavorare duramente per la realizzazione del nuovo archivio sulla base di Wordpress! Le sue capacità innate di WebDesigner gli hanno permesso di sviluppare facilmente l’evoluzione estetica del sito, in modo che i visitatori siano meglio compiaciuti nella navigazione. Ad ogni evenienza Stere0 è in grado di risolvere gli eventuali problemi tecnici e salvare il team di Unseen 64 dai vari disastri digitali. Alla fine del suo lavoro finalmente possiamo davvero essere soddisfatti dell’organizzazione di U64: grazie a Stere0 il resto dello staff può perdere meno tempo con i vecchi sistemi in html statico, per dedicare maggior tempo nell’inserimento di contenuti di qualità. Se per caso vi esplode il PC mentre visitate Unseen64, date pure la colpa a lui.

Yota: Collaboratore post-filosofico per la ricerca di foto beta ed informazioni, anche se spesso vanno tutte perdute perchè si diverte a formattare il suo PC almeno una volta la settimana. La sua missione è quella di riuscire a completare le introduzione dei giochi, cosi da lanciarsi poi nello sfogo psicopatico di qualche articolo. Sicuramente un altro appassionato di giochi beta e la sua conoscenza dei videogame è senz’altro utile per l’aggiornamento di Unseen 64. Ha inoltre avuto il coraggio di tradurre diversi articoli e introduzioni. Fonti che hanno preferito rimanere segrete ci hanno rivelato che un inglese non riuscirà mai a capire le traduzioni di Yota. Ne siamo fieri.

Klay: uno dei maggiori drogati italiani per le beta di Zelda, le sue leggende sulle Beta Quest tramite GameShark e gli avvistamenti di codici segreti top secret su come sbloccare finali alternativi mai esistiti hanno contribuito ad aumentare la mania generale di tutto lo staff per questo genere di cose. Disperso per Bologna per cause universitarie è probabilmente l’elemento più instabile e più unseen del gruppo. Sparisce per mesi e poi torna bello come il sole. Ma hai mai scritto qualcosa per il sito? non si sa, però lo amiamo! Possiamo contare sul suo contributo per ogni podcast inerente a Zelda, con quella voce sexy e la destrezza di un vero gentlemen, saprà conquistare tutte le ascoltatrici femminili abbastanza nerd da resistere a qualche episodio.

Rosalex: no lui mica può far parte dello staff, non è mica nerd. O forse si? scanerizzò per primo diversi giornali con foto beta introvabili online, quando ancora mono non possedeva uno scanner. Solo per questo fa parte del sito. Ma anche per aver sopportato gli altri con le loro manie di beta per tutti questi anni. No aspettate! sono sicuro che ha scritto anche alcune introduzioni, durante i primi mesi di Unseen 64. La sua occupazione principale è sicuramente quella di lurker ufficiale per le nostre podcast, che si ascolta in diretta durante la registrazione, senza però mai partecipare direttamente alla discussione, se non con strani rumori e commenti sulla chat testuale. E’ abbastanza inquietante. Forse un giorno riusciremo a convincerlo ad unirsi attivamente nella discussione vocale.

Bakke: il filosofo videoludico della crew, elemento cardine essenziale per tutti noi. Abbiamo una sua foto sul comodino con le candele di fianco. Capace di pensieri come il famoso ” […] Ricercare la libertà significa fallire. Io continuo a sostenere che Zelda è il gioco più libero che esiste, ti danno delle regole e dei limiti. La vera libertà di Morrowind è quella morale, tu puoi fare quello che vuoi da questo punto di vista, ma non è libero. Zelda è il gioco più libero… il concetto di libertà in un videogioco è diverso da quello della realtà. […] ” Date le sue innate doti semantiche e grammaticali non poteva che diventare capo redattore ufficioso del gruppo, mettendosi al lavoro per introduzioni ed articoli. State attenti perchè comanda lui!

santo_reska: il primo redattore esterno che ha deciso spontaneamente di entrare a far parte della crew di Unseen64, grazie al suo indispensabile aiuto, riusciremo forse ad avere un sito più completo e professionale! la leggenda narrà che sia in possesso di una rara ed inestimabile VHS con video beta tratti dall’E3 1997, suo prezioso cimelio che mantiene in ottime condizioni con cura maniacale.. un altro vero appassionato di giochi unseen! al momento si sta dedicando nel compilare varie introduzioni per i giochi e forse alcuni articoli molto nonsense! riuscirà a resistere a tutto questo lavoro, oppure verrà influenzato dall’ozio generale?

Sega Master: dobbiamo ammetterlo, Unseen 64 aveva davvero bisogno di un appassionato SEGA, per avere una minima possibilità di completare questo enorme archivio! Prima che lui arrivasse le sezioni SEGA erano lasciate abbandonate e trascurate, un vero insulto per tutti quei giochi beta che meritavano più attenzione. Da redattore modello ha già cominciato a scrivere diverse introduzioni e per il futuro sembra avere in mente alcuni articoli sull’amata SEGA ovviamente. L’inizio promette bene, è uno scrittore serio ed impegnato, ma sopravvivere nella pazza crew di U64 non è cosa da tutti! riuscirà a resistere in questo gruppo di folli fanatici? Scapperà lontano quando si accorgerà che Bakke è uno pseudo capo redattore maniaco e nintendaro? Si arriverà alla rivolta civile interna in vecchio stile Nintendo VS Sega? lo sapremo nelle prossime puntate!

Ultraman82: col passare del tempo, nuovi amici si offrono di aiutarci con la costruzione del sito. Con l’arrivo di Ultraman, siamo riusciti a trovare un collaboratore di primissimo livello, che con la sua curiosità ed interesse per le beta, è già riuscito a fornirci informazioni molto preziose! Grande appassionato del Giappone, si impegna a giocare in versione originale nipponica, scoprendo in questo modo, l’enorme quantità di cambiamenti e censure, che subiscono molti games all’arrivo in occidente. E’ riuscito subito a conquistare la fiducia di monokoma, chiaccherando per ore di beta, misteri videoludici e giochi quasi sconosciuti. Da quel momento abbiamo cercato di convincerlo a collaborare con noi.. e ci siamo riusciti! Ultraman è stato fra i primi coraggiosi pionieri, riusciti ad ascoltatore la nostra Podcast fino alla fine, rendendosi ben conto del pericolo e della pazzia che si nasconde in mezzo a questo staff. Ancora non è scappato, quindi ci sono buone probabilità che sia altrattanto folle e geniale come il resto del gruppo! Le sue doti di ricerca, per informazioni online e prove dirette, sapranno dare una migliore precisione al nostro archivio, con approfondimenti e documentazioni importanti.

ReNo: collaboratore saltuario di Unseen 64, ReNo è spesso impegnato a ricercare materiale per l’espansione del nostro archivio. Dopo essere riuscito a contattare mono scavalcando le sue difese comunicative, ha dimostrato la sua dedizione nella conservazione delle beta, con tonnellate di vecchie riviste videoludiche, recuperare con fatica in giro per il mondo. Il suo coraggio e la sua perseveranza gli permettono di non cedere ai fallimenti, ed anche dopo ore di giornali sfogliati senza traccia di materiale beta, torna all’attacco con il sorriso, per ogni nuova ed estenuante indagine. Quando possibile, ReNo supporta l’usuale gruppo di super nerd nelle discussioni della podcast, con la sua voce professionale e capacità di esposizione fuori dal comune.

Sba sb3002: is a New York nerd who stumbled into the world of video games at summer camp. There he met a friend named Mike who showed him Pokemon. Ever since then, SBA has been an avid video game nerd. Nine years later, he found U64 via Google, in an attempt for looking for Stage Debut pictures and videos. He quickly stuffed the site into his favorites and ever since then he’s been a mediocre piece to the Unseen 64 community. Monokoma promoted him as his favourite English teacher and so Sba became the first English Translator of the site, to correct all the errors of those stupid italian geeks! We can’t wait to read his first unseen-article as Senior Writer.

Randy 355: I have played video games ever since I could remember, pretty much starting with Super Mario World for the SNES. Of course I got an N64 and subscribed to Nintendo Power when I grew a bit older, and noticed some beta differences, wondering what the deal was. It interested me. When I stumbled upon this site many years later I had known much about the Halo Series and its betas. Being a fan of Halo and interesting beta pics and info, I wanted to add them to the archive, or it would drive me mad. Now I like to help out regularly, and here I am.

gmprunner: Strong. Charismatic. Cool. Intelligent. Once hailed as the Lord of Gamedom by Nintendo Power (issue 51), gmprunner was the best there was. After achieving fame from his record-breaking play-through of Super Mario World in 14.89 seconds, gmprunner became the most well-known player in gaming. His lucrative career as the world’s first pro player took him around the globe as he competed in various tournaments. During this time, he set another record, this time for the most game tournaments played in, and won, in a 24-hour period: 8. From Japan to the States, he was a pop culture icon. He is one of only 3 people to appear to on the covers of Nintendo Power, Official XBox Magazine, and Official Playstation Magazine simultaneously. But all of his fame came crashing down on him on April 7th, 2005. It was the third round of the national Call of Duty 2 tournament, and his team, Pain Train, was in the lead when gmprunner (playing under the name Pwnasaurus) suffered a crippling case of carpal tunnel syndrome. In the blink of an eye, he was on the floor, wailing in pain (to the embarrassment of his teammates). As paramedics rushed to the scene, Pain Train won the round, but for gmprunner, it was game over. After six months of intense physical therapy, he regained control of his hand, but could never compete professionally again. Lacking a purpose in life, he receded into his home in California, where he now resides. He now shares his love of gaming through his writing on Unseen 64, the last outlet for his passion and the only thing to remind him of his once unbelievable life.

Rowedahelicon: Rowedahelicon is my name, but Rowdy will do just fine. I have been a gamer since I was five and my first was Super Mario 64 since then I have gotten into gaming and the hidden mysteries behind it, it wasn’t until I got my Wii that I became more aware of the inner workings of games. My first game I knew about the beta was of Anachronox. But it wasn’t until after I finished Galaxy that I began to compare the beta’s and the final product, after researching I Found Unseen64, it didn’t have much information but I found that others shared an appreciation for the hidden mysteries, in this case gaming. I soon made my own video showing some of the missing changes of Galaxy and is was that video that got me this job on the team with these beta geeks.

NeX.exe: I am a young guy from Denmark, who plays videogames since the age of four. One day I found some comparisons images between the beta version of Mario Kart 64 and the final version: that was the beginning of my beta-passion. Since then, I started to search for beta-screenshots on the web, to save them all and make the biggest beta-archive ever. I joined Unseen 64 because of my huge interest in comparing differences in games: I love to analyze the alpha/beta images that were been forgotten.

LiamRproductions: Hello randomer, I’m Liam. I started surfing Unseen64 about 2 months ago, quite active. Just made my account recently though. The reason I joined is simply because, I love this site. It’s a great archive of those lost games and serves as one unmatched place for finding media on beta games. My love for beta games spawned around the Gamecube era. I remembered seeing all these games set to come out for it that never saw the light, so I started researching them and that led to hunting down countless amounts of them and giving me the unofficial rank of ‘beta nerd’. So if you’ve any questions, be sure not to shy of asking me them. Enjoy the website, Liam.

Stevesesy: Friendly, informal, and overall good guy, Steve is new but ready to do whatever it takes. He’s been around video games for most of his life and has a special place in his heart for protos, betas, and EarthBound. He does art and videos in his freetime and will take anyone on in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He doesn’t know any Italian but he sure does love spaghetti.

Xavio: Well, more about myself… Well, I am a huge Nintendo fan, so I’ll probably write most about Nintendo (though I can write about Warcraft stuff also). I am making comics and movies, and sometimes watching videos, but when I have nothing really to do, I find it interesting to pass my time with beta stuff. I am also very cheerish and also hyper, and childish. That’s about it.

Take_It_Slow: Though not a great video game player, I am a man who can appreciate the finer side of character design, musical score, and controls. I just recently joined the U64 community, but I feel it is doing a great service to the public in educating them in the ways of beta games and showing them ideas of what could have been. I love analyzing the changes that happen to a game throughout the creation process and the pleasure that comes of learning of games that were made completely, but never released to the public for some reason or another. I hope to be able to find out information, translate Italian, and ultimately write articles. U64 seems like a great community, as well as an amazing archive of video games of the past and present.

FullMetalMC: is the reason Unseen exists without him there would be no Unseen and the world would be full of epic fail. All kidding aside I am one of the biggest contributors and have posted a big fraction of the pictures and information. My interest began when I was reading the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time article from Wikipedia (most likely out of boredom). Back then when I read it the article had a section titled lost content (or something along those lines) and a picture of a big Triforce caught my attention. There I discovered the hacking group Zelda’s Secret Ocarina and fell in love with beta stuff. I admire hackers (Cen is one of the best IMO) and communities who specialize in hacking for lost game elements and I really wish these groups were bigger in number and size. Even though I really like what these people dig up I am much to lazy myself to hack and would rather donate some money to buy older builds of games but my lack of money stops me from doing so.

CoinCollector: I’ve played video games most of my life, starting with the N64 and PlayStation. I have always enjoyed video game-related things aside from actually playing them; collecting them, speedrunning them, and researching their betas. My interest in beta games started when I saw some of the stuff that the guys over at The Rare Witch Project hacked out of one of my favorite games, Banjo-Kazooie. It intrigued me to see what the developers intended to do, but eventually ended up not adding in. From there, I found beta content from some of my other favorite games, and have since then been fascinated about the development process of games and seeing what they could’ve been like if things went differently.

Denten: being a teenager and a faithful gamer, i gained an interest in many different things, ranging from animation, the thing i love the most, playing and listening to music. but video gaming is also very important to me. I am a fan of many different video game properties and game series, including Sonic The Hedgehog, Mario, Spyro The Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Earthworm Jim, Doom, halo and more. I am very interested in things like game development and such and its been pretty awesome so far. I remember quite clearly that my first game console was the N64. Ah yes the memories…I also have a curiosity for obscure classic games as well, including franchises that had shortlived claims to fame, such as Bubsy or those type of things, along with laughing my butt off at terrible games.. and i recently gained great interest in game betas, after reading all about the Sonic 2 Betas, so here i am as a Jr. Writer for the group.

GiantPooka: Well, what can I say? I like videogames, and I like writing stuff, so putting the two of them together seems like a good idea. I’ve been playing videogames since I can remember, since the days of the NES and the ZX Spectrum, but I try to specialise in weird stuff no-one else has ever heard of, and in particular, hardcore bullet hell shoot-em-ups and adventure games- bit of an odd mix when you think about it. The weird stuff is the real interest, though, maybe that’s why I’ve decided to help out here! Hopefully by helping out with finding stuff to scan and write about, I can help clear up some of the oddities of videogames!

Tilemaxx: Well, im a 16 years old from Greece. I play videogames since i was 7, i often play football, listen to music and watch movies… but my real love are the videogames, especially the online multiplayer games and the racing games, like my favourite series: Gran Turismo. I love cars since i was a little child, but my greatest addiction are beta games. This love started with the t-rex and manta ray tech demos of Playstation 1. Since then i started to search the web from USA to JAPAN, to find more beta videos and pictures about early builds of games. In 2007 i have finally discovered Unseen 64 and it immediately became one of my favourite websites. All the stuff that i was seaching for years from all around the web, were finally archived in this extraordinary website. Well that’s about me, i hope it wasnt too boring ;D I’m going to try to contribute as much as i can as a member of the U64 Staff!
