Born to Ride - Mario and Luigi are trying to install a sink in the Dome Castle. Well, at least they call it a castle, even though it doesn't appear to be an actual seat of government, and doesn't look much different from the other dome houses. Maybe the Princess refused to live in a building that wasn't a castle. They use bamboo for the plumbing ( Read more... )

Time for another Super Mario World/Captain N review! I'm sure you're all thrilled.

The Night Before Cave Christmas - Oogtar is being a total brat, and it's rubbing off on the other inhabitants of Dome City. So how do you make kids behave? Well, around December, you can use Santa Claus. It's August at this point, but Mario decides to have ( Read more... )

Great, I'm being beset by trolls over on my WordPress. Look at the comments on this post, for example. Then there's this one, which is even more bizarre. At least Xmas Boy's comments relate to the posts, even if they're totally ridiculous. This Lynn person used a post about Chick Tracts to rant about radical Islam.

I sometimes get the desire to play The Sims 2, but even though it's installed on my computer, I don't have up-to-date game data. I THINK I might still have it on my old hard drive, but I haven't yet gotten around to getting stuff from that old computer. Is there an easier way to do that than actually hooking up the entire computer? (Since no one ( Read more... )
