Intergalactic, Planetary, Planetary, Intergalactic

Posted on December 16, 2021 by Nathan

Next on my list of video games I haven’t played but watched playthroughs of to see what went on in them, it’s the Super Mario Galaxy games. They definitely look good, like how the Lumas resemble cuddly stuffed animals. Mario in … Continue reading →

Wiggler Wednesday

Posted on August 26, 2021 by Nathan

I’ve discussed many enemies from the Super Mario franchise over the years, but I don’t think I’ve said that much about Wigglers, the giant caterpillars introduced in Super Mario World. Their thing is basically that they’re normally cute, yellow, and … Continue reading →

Stand in the Place Where You Live

Posted on December 31, 2020 by Nathan

The Stand, by Stephen King – This was a long book, even more so since I read the unabridged edition, but I don’t know that I’ll have a long review for it. I did like it, and it’s pretty timely since … Continue reading →

Cactus Creeps

Posted on August 27, 2020 by Nathan

Picture by BlazingDazzlingDusk Although a lot of people keep small ones in their houses, the cactus is a pretty terrifying plant, so I’m not surprised that some video games use them as enemies. The two that immediately come to mind … Continue reading →

Conquer Yourself

Posted on April 9, 2020 by Nathan

My wife has been playing Kid Icarus: Uprising, and there’s a character in it called Dark Pit. A little bit of research reveals that there’s also a Dark Samus and a Dark Link, or rather several Dark Links and Shadow … Continue reading →

Join the Odyssey and See the World

Posted on November 23, 2017 by Nathan

I haven’t played Super Mario Odyssey, and I’m sure I’d be terrible at it if I did. There’s a reason I mostly stick to turn-based role-playing. I am, however, quite interested in keeping abreast of new Mario developments and how … Continue reading →

Warping Through Continuity

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Nathan

While there is an official Zelda timelime, there still isn’t one for the Mario series, which makes sense as they don’t really focus on story. Fans certainly have tried to come up with one, however, and have made some clever … Continue reading →

The E-Turtle Struggle

Posted on September 16, 2016 by Nathan

Bowser is one of the most famous villains in video games, and a favorite character of mine. Mario and Luigi first face him in the original Super Mario Bros., and they’ve gone on to battle many more times. Here’s a … Continue reading →

The Way of the Dinosaur

Posted on January 20, 2016 by Nathan

Since I looked at Mario’s power-ups last week, I thought this time I could examine the ones Yoshi uses. The thing is, this varies even more from one game to another. In Super Mario World, Yoshi has several powers he … Continue reading →

Marvels of the Modern Mushroom Age

Posted on December 12, 2014 by Nathan

I find the idea of Schizo Tech in fictional worlds to be pretty interesting. Of course, not all societies develop technology at the same rate. There could be a reason why a place has cars and not guns, or vice … Continue reading →
