Life’s Too Short to Be a Crab

Posted on February 22, 2020 by Nathan

The Provolone Ranger – I distinctly remember this being the first Super Show episode I ever saw, and I don’t even think I had a Nintendo or was that familiar with Mario at the time. The usual suspects are riding … Continue reading →

Sticker Fun

Posted on February 22, 2020 by Nathan

I finished Paper Mario: Sticker Star last weekend, and I’m only just writing about it now. It’s fairly slight, especially for a role-playing game, but still pretty fun. I wrote earlier about how you can only make moves by using … Continue reading →

Disrupt the Corrupt

Posted on February 21, 2020 by Nathan

I’m going to try to write something about politics, which is something I’ve been thinking about quite a bit as of late. It seems that most of what I want to say has already been said, though; and when I … Continue reading →

It’s Koopa Clobbering Time

Posted on February 14, 2020 by Nathan

Here are some more Super Mario Bros. Super Show episode reviews, and for once I haven’t heard the reviews on the Super Show Show podcast at the Hard Times, because they haven’t gotten to most of these yet, “Mario of … Continue reading →

Getting a Word in Edgewood

Posted on February 11, 2020 by Nathan

Little, Big, by John Crowley – This is apparently a pretty famous novel, although I hadn’t heard of it until I saw it mentioned on a blog. It’s kind of weird that it was published in 1981, as the style really … Continue reading →

Warning! Warning! Prepare to Be Abducted!

Close Encounters of the Third Kind – This is one of those movies I’ve seen so many references to that I kind of felt I should watch it. It actually came out the year I was born. Some explorers and … Continue reading →

Kiss a King

Posted on February 7, 2020 by Nathan

I’ve looked at a few of the Mario stories from the Nintendo Comics System, and I thought I might as well throw a few more reviews into the mix. While my previous reviews were just of stories I’d read recently, … Continue reading →

When the Plumbing Gets Tough, the Tough Get Plumbing

Posted on February 6, 2020 by Nathan

Here are sore Super Mario Bros. Super Show reviews, and I have to say this set of episodes was largely lackluster even for this show, although there’s one pretty significant episode in the mix. Quest for Pizza – Mario and … Continue reading →

Iran to the Ends of the Earth

Posted on February 2, 2020 by Nathan

I’m still not entirely sure why Republicans are so anxious for a war with Iran. I mean, I think war should generally be a last resort anyway, but here I’m not even sure what the benefit would be. That’s not to … Continue reading →
