I’ve not done very much lately. Worked all last week, having a great time doing it. It really makes time fly – Disneyworld will be here in no time at this rate. And I have a 4-day weekend coming up! Victoria will be visiting, and I might get to see everyone in Atlanta again. I sure hope – I really miss all of them.
Last night I spent the night at Stan’s house and we spent a good portion of it looking at videos of Mario mods. I’d figure I’d share them.
First up is Cat Mario. Thanks to Brandon and Eowyn for this hilarity:
The video has a slow start, but give it a bit to really get you laughing. It’s not so much of a mod as it is a completely from-scratch game that resembles Mario in level design… until you realize all the components you take for granted in Mario don’t apply here. Bricks and platforms dodge to avoid you, appear out of nowhere to kill, enemies and items don’t do their normal functions, etc. It’s rather a bitch. You can play it here at this applet.
Next is a rather difficult mod, but the humor in this is the voiceover for me. XD
This time, there’s no floor, but at least items act as programmed. It’s just a bitch. :P Not too much to say other than I love it when this guy gets upset. XD
And now for Asshole Mario:
This one is INTENSE. Everything works as you’d expect it to in Super Mario World, they just program stages on a Legendary difficulty. It’s pretty much rape, and you have to rely on exploits (mostly spin jumping on enemies you wouldn’t expect). There are quite a few installments of this series, and the editor does a nice job of cutting out the unnecessary.
Anything else? Let’s see… I played Rock Band for the first time the other night. I give it hell, and for some good reasons. The difficulty for the guitar is nothing compared to Guitar Hero’s… The GUI is SHIT. I couldn’t figure out what the hell I was selecting for multiplayer. The animation is choppy and feels incomplete. The only redeeming factor is having friends aimlessly yell into the microphone (the mic detects only pitch and not the word… so “blah blah blah” or “bitch dick whore” work just fine) and banging on the drums as loudly as possible to drown out the rest of the game. Because controllers should always be louder than the actual game. *rolleyes*
Tricia sent me a box of goodies! A bunch of awesome ducks are now miiiine, and a Free Tibet bumper sticker is on my car. I got some kettle corn, some carmel corn, and some magnet toys and Stephen Colbert’s “I Am America (And So Can You!)”. I can’t wait to read it cover to cover. :)
That’s all I really have for right now.
