I am still loved!

Posted by Mario On March - 31 - 2008 Comments Off

Just got done reading a Raving Review of Super Mario 64, I’m still a pretty popular guy, despite what some of you may think. Best quote from the article: Even today, despite the dated graphics, Super Mario 64 is still a fantastically fun game. Getting all 120 stars is still a challenge and I’m sure it’d take a good memory jog to even remember where all of them are. It’s just a fun honest game that you don’t need to set aside an hour to play. 12 years later it’s worth keeping the N64 around, even if only for this one game.

“The Pink Princess” in depth

Posted by Francis On March - 24 - 2008 Comments Off

Geeklog Date: 03.20 Mood: Miffed The stupid wind knocked out my electricity for the past four days, so since I couldn’t surf the internet, I’ve been watching “The Pink Princess” series I taped. (When you buy a battery adapter for your TV and VCR on meDock, you never think you’re actually going to need it one day.) By the time Season Five rolled around, I couldn’t help asking myself why I was still watching. Yeah, Princess Akiko was hot, but she still looked the exact same as she has since episode one! We’ve seen her massive wardrobe seven times, and she hasn’t changed outfits ONCE! She’s the main character, and she’s only one who hasn’t! All that fan art doesn’t make up for it; she seriously should have appeared in SOMETHING else, shouldn’t she? I counted 41 opportunities she could have disguised herself, and wrote 6 fan fictions about each  [ Read More ]

I hate colds

Posted by Master_Chief On March - 21 - 2008 Comments Off

I got a cold the other day. Not just a normal cold, one of those filthy ones where your head becomes a snot factory and your nose has a constant flow of mucus running out of it and you sneeze every five and three quarter minutes. Let me tell you, snot and armor don’t mix well. When I sneeze inside my helmet there is snot everywhere. First off, I can’t see out my visor anymore. Hopefully I don’t need to see where I’m going or even where I’m shooting. Because it’s all a blur. That’s not all though. It gets worse. The snot is traveling so fast when it hits the visor it bounces back and instantly my eyes, my mouth and my ears are all full of snot which then oozes down my body and eventually pools on my feet. I can’t tell you how good a nice hot  [ Read More ]

Confessions

Posted by CaptainOlimar On March - 11 - 2008 Comments Off

I made a mistake. A big mistake. A mistake that is undoubtedly going to cost me my life. I strangled a Pikmin. I knew it was wrong, I knew it was stupid, but he just wouldn’t listen to me! I got caught up in a fit of rage and rushed at him like a maniac. He stood there, wide eyed and frightened, my hands went around his little neck and suddenly, he was limp in my hand. His little spirit floated away and his body disappeared. It was at this time when several other Pikmin fainted and died, probably because of the pure shock, and the rest ran away into the onions. I can’t get them to come out. They’ve been in there for several days. I’ve tried to coax them, to apologize, to bribe them, I just can’t get the to come out. I’m stuck here on this planet,  [ Read More ]

Best of the NES

Posted by CrankyKong On March - 4 - 2008 Comments Off

Picture this for a second: a set of graphics distinctly exclusive for video games, a simple set of two buttons, title screens that come up in a second without lengthy intros, and more variety than you can fit in six feet of sandwich. That’s right, I’m talking about the glory days of a system we now know as the Nintendo Entertainment System. Games released for the NES boasted simple design schemes, unnecessary uses for the Select button, ambiguous mysteries with single solutions and few clues, passwords, and instruction books you were actually expected (but not required) to read. As you can well guess, it was brilliantly put together. Choosing a set of five best here is not an easy task, and if any of you ingrates actually know five games from this time, feel free to formulate a top five of your own. As for this old monkey, I’ve chosen  [ Read More ]

Cranky Cubed

Posted by CrankyKong On February - 26 - 2008 Comments Off

It’s that time once again. Cranky Kong here, bringing you the greatest of the latest with the top five Gamecube games in circulation. The Gamecube is beginning to bear some semblance of me: it’s getting old, it’s getting tired, and Nintendo thinks it’s time for it to retire. Not being quite as energetic as me, the ol’ system has decided to step down, meaning no new games are being produced for it. However, with the list officially complete, that means I get to make your judgment for you and pick the five most meaningful meaningless games it has! Where I thought the Nintendo 64 was bad, the Gamecube got even worse. Instead of giving up and going back to the reliable methods of the previous age, the programmers followed through on their endeavors and smoothed out their danged 3D workmanship. Characters could now have five fingers on each hand. In  [ Read More ]

I like to golf…

Posted by Bowser On February - 23 - 2008 Comments Off

I don’t know what they have been putting in the air these days, but it sounds like somethings going around about Mario and I going golfing on the weekends. Apparently there is a big hubbub over this or something. I don’t know much about what the whole argument is, but I just thought I would chip in and say a few words on behalf of golfing, mainly because I like to golf. I like to golf. Golfing is a good sport. You get to enjoy nature for what nature is, see the clouds, the trees, the birdies. You get to walk for several miles and shoot the breeze with your comrades. It is a great way to relax and have fun. If you’ve never tried it, I would suggest that you go out and give it a shot sometime. (Pun intended.) Or, if you don’t have a nice sunny day  [ Read More ]

RE: Ness, the reason you fail…

Posted by Link On February - 22 - 2008 Comments Off

That is so typical Mario. You are so pretentious. You think you are this great big huge amazing guy. Just because you’ve been around so long, you think your all that. Well, your not. Well, at least, I don’t think you are. First off, if you had any clue as to how to treat your enemies you wouldn’t have to worry about them kidnapping the princess every 37 minutes. When fighting your enemies: Use a weapon! Bouncing on their head is not going to stop them. Trust me, you need a sword, or a boomerang, or a bomb, or a slingshot, or for pete’s sake man, even a net would do. Yeah, yeah, I know, you finally got up the courage to pick up a squirt gun. I’m sure that scared off all the 2nd graders that had kidnapped the princess. Stop playing golf with the person who is responsible  [ Read More ]
