More With Mario

Over at N-Philes, seems that someone got to talk to Charles Martinet(voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and others) on one of the video walls at E3. In the link is an MP3, where the guy asks about some stuff from Super Smash Bros. Brawl and some small talk. "I...

Playchoice 10

Gamespot's got a neat little piece up, their readers' top 10 NES games. Sad thing is, I'm betting I could probably name a good few games, and they'd be on the list. Zelda. Metroid. Super Mario. Tetris perhaps. Contra, Ninja Gaiden, Double Dragon, Castlevania, Mega Man...

Just Peachy

So, there's this fellow named Andy. Andy evidently likes Peach. A lot. Fine, no problem, not here to make judgements.? I like her, too. Guy has a comic on his website that I can no longer seem to locate, which is unfortunate, as it adds a good bit to the context of...

Sure, it's kinda juveneille, but I found this funny: Drez wrote: So, apparently I've been sleeping on my PSP for days. Not directly. I was sleeping on my bed, and my PSP was under the wooden front of it. So there was...well a lot of pressure on it, even when I wasn't...

Dueling Analogs

If you haven't seen it yet, there's a new webcomic that started late last year, later half of November in fact, called Dueling Analogs. It's quickly becoming a favorite of mine, thanks to some pretty good art/coloring, and plenty of oldschool gaming references. It's a...

From over at PA.

Sort of an inside joke. Someone said that if you cut off the bottom quarter of the picture, Samus looks pregnant. Things escalated from there, until we wound up with this: For some reason, I totally roffled. LBD "Nytetrayn"

Did you know?

Long before there was Charles Marinet, Bob Hoskins, Walker Boone, or Captain Lou, Mario was a silent movie star. LBD "Nytetrayn"

Amusing sigs, from the PA forums.

Humor is the name of the game.

Shopping for a Batmobile. And if you liked Super Mario Bros. Z episode 1, then you might like episode 2, now with more fighting(but don't worry, it still keeps the Mario tone). The action part of this series kicks off with this episode, and hopefully the fight scenes...

4chan’s influence.

So there's this meme in 4chan wherein they took a panel of a comic, and removed whatever it was that these scientists(?) are supposed to be seeing, thereby letting creative types fill in the blanks. Me, I had to go a few steps further. Also, for no reason at all...

Oh, Right. Sure.

That's pretty much what David Reeves, the CEO for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, had to say yesterday. "We have built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it,...

New Super Mario Bros.: Did you notice…?

If you come across a red Koopa Troopa(they're easier to keep an eye on) or a Goomba in New Super Mario Bros., keep an eye on them. They dance to the music on certain beats. Gotta love the small touches in a game. Also, the Power-Ups seem to do it, too; a Magic...

Hmm.

One thing woekitten and I agree on is that we really do feel bad for the fate which befell Gunpei Yokoi, during Yamauchi's administration at Nintendo. The man came up with all manner of creations in R&D1, including Metroid, Kid Icarus, and Game & Watch. Before...

Surprise, surprise. This has nothing to do with E3.

And in a way, I'm regretful of that. Because it means no new game for the series was announced. Well, except for the arcade original being on XBox Live Arcade. So I guess this is a celebration of that. Anyway, in the interest of sharing, and because someone FINALLY...

Sonic the Hedgehog

Yeah, I'm stoked. Gives me a reason to look at another next-gen besides the Wii, anyway. Though with money being what it is, I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but I shan't complain. That is the nature of the business, and I've known this for years now, like it or...
