“Avatar Escape”, an online Avatar game Nickelodeon has been working on for some time is now up and available to be played in the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany and France. You can find it here. Each Saturday morning in the month February, from 10 AM to 12 noon (no matter what your time zone is), Nick will air cheat codes that unlock the next level in the game.

If anyone wants to send in a review of the game to be posted on waterbender, send it via the feedback form.

Thanks to the hard work of James, we now have a creatures page , highlighting many of the wonderful animals that inhibit the world of Avatar. Be sure to check it out and send us your comments!

Edit: There are no images of the creatures up on the page yet, that will be added as soon as possible

A new editorial I’m writing (topic suggested by Julian, thanks a lot!) about what Bumi meant when he said to Aang “We’ll meet again when the time is right”, and about the 85 jings, is nearly done. However, before I finish it up and post it, I’d like to hear if anyone has ideas about things I should address in the editorial, that I probably haven’t. Please leave them in the comments for this post.

Thanks!

A gallery of lots of Avatar images (more coming soon!) has been added to the site, you can view it here. It features a ratings and comment systems, easy navigation, and much more. A couple disclaimers:

There are some fanart images on the gallery that I have on my own hard drive, and that I thought were extremely good. I didn’t draw any of them, and I don’t know who did. If you’re reading this, and you recognize one of these images as your own, and would like me to either clearly credit you in the gallery, or remove the image all together, please email me.

All of the wallpapers, save one or two, are either from Nick.com, or one of Nick’s foreign sites, Nick.de

Thanks to the Track Team’s myspace, (both of them), 4 new audio downloads have been added to the audio page. They are listed at the bottom of the page and aren’t yet available in WMA version, but I’ll get that out soon.

Also, a fanfiction has (finally) been added to the fanfic page, check it out!

The new Water Tribe forums are now online, you can get to them by clicking on “Forums” at the top of the left navigation. This new forum is better organized, has a large number of useful features, and contains a large variety of themes you can use to customize the way the forum looks to you. If you have any questions about how to work it (I know a lot of people are used to Proboards), first check the SMF help guide, and, if you do not find your answer there, PM “James”.

Due to the recent influx of new people coming to the site, I need more help managing comments, putting up new pages, and working on other projects than I currently have. If you would like to help me out, please send an email to “jobs@water-bender.com”, with the following information:

Your age, the amount of time you could spend working on the site, how often (on average) you can be online every day.

If you would simply like to help moderate, edit, and delete comments, a proficient knowledge of the English language, including grammar and spelling, is required. However, if you would like to help out with site projects, a basic knowledge of HTML is suggested.

Thank you for your help!

Edit: The job opening is now closed, thank you to everyone who offered assistance.

The beginnings of my Cast & Crew page has been uploaded, though for the moment it only lists the voice actors of the more major characters. I’ll be updating it regularly over the next few days until it has every voice actor in Avatar listed.

All of the character bios pages are up, and I think I included all major characters, and some minor ones. I hope to be able to add more minor characters soon, once the rest of the site’s pages are complete.

My character bios section (or at least, the beginning of it) has now been uploaded, and you can view character bios for the Water Tribe Characters. Over the next few days, I’ll add the other nations to the character bios section, most of it is just a matter of copying and pasting. If there’s a character you feel I’ve missed, please let me know in the comments!

Edit: Sooner than I expected, I’ve now uploaded the character bios for both the Air Nomads and Earth Kingdom. Again, please let me know in the comments if there’s a character I missed. Also, on an unrelated note, the chatroom has been closed due to inactivity.
