Super Mario Bros. 3 is arguably one of the greatest video games ever right?
Sure, without a doubt. But something’s been bugging me recently. Mario 3, if you recall, introduced gamers to the Koopa Kids, 7 bosses you had to fight before advancing to the 8th world to fight Bowser Koopa himself. (nerd nerd nerd, bear with me).
My problem is simple– we’re never introduced to Mrs. Koopa. Before Mario 3 the last time we heard from Bowser was at the end of the original, classic Mario adventure. Mario rescues Princess Toadstool (whom, wikipedia.com tells me is actually called Princess Peach now, but fuck that). Then, the next time Bowser shows up he’s got seven kids.
In the interim Princess Toadstool joined Mario, Luigi and Toad for the mostly-forgotten “Mario 2.” They fought a giant toad named Wart who hated vegetables. Apparently it was revealed this game was all a dream… so this adventure never actually happened. then in Mario 3, Bowser’s back, with children. And, for many subsequent adventures, Bowser shows up to kidnap the Princess, sometimes with and sometimes without his children.
You see where I’m going with this? Princess Toadstool is their mother. Read the rest of this entry »

Awesome Neil Gaiman profile in The New Yorker
Monday, January 25th, 2010
Check it out.
I haven’t really connected with Gaiman’s writing for some time, but when I was an angsty 14-year old Sandman was the shit.
Didn’t realize he was engaged to Amanda Palmer, either.

50 Self- Stay Home
My favorite albums of the decade
Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Yeah, I know I’m a bit behind everyone else with these stupid lists, but I actually waited for the decade to end, rather than blowing my wad in July. I’ve got songs, too… but here they are, my top 20 favorite albums of the decade. Remember, this is a “favorite” list, not a “best” list. If it were to be a “best” list I’d put #2 at #1.
Oh, and my current #1, which should come as no surprise, sadly, probably wouldn’t even make a critical list… so here it is, my 20 favorite albums from 2000-2009.
