Super Mario RPG

I won’t say much more for those who still haven’t played this gem but I’ll tell you this, this game rocks! Everything is great about this game. I can’t see why anyone would miss out on this one! The only problems I had with this game are the leveling up system which only ended in level 30, and the fact that you couldn’t play as Luigi. You did see pictures of him explaining you how to play the game in the instruction manual but that’s not good enough!

Short Bus: Miami

So I was heading out for some Sushi with friends yesterday when my first Bobby spotted a small yellow school bus. I glanced at it and then just turned away as it was nothing new or so I thought. Bobby starts laughing aloud and soon I realized why. The bus wasn’t named School Bus, but instead labeled Short Bus and had pictures of the Crank Yankers puppets on it.

Penguin Land

Luckily, with his eggs trapped on apparently such a hostile planet, Overbite is free to walk and jump around the rounds to his hearts content. A vast majority of the blocks are blue ice blocks. Overbite can break the ice blocks beneath him by pecking them and the egg can then be pushed through the gap. Be careful though – the egg can’t fall more than three blocks downwards without breaking, so you’ll have to take some time to consider which blocks to break.

New Terms: Kodak Kathy

She will do anything to get the perfect shot. Butt in front of you, kick high harry, etc…Kodak Kathy has a short term memory and thus must take pictures of everything to remember the good times. Little does she know, she wont remember the concert, just taking pictures of it. Usually spotted with camera held high in the air, pushing her way to the front of the stage to get that perfect shot, pissing off everyone in her warpath.

Dressy Bessy

The most recent release from Dressy Bessy was 2008’s ‘Holler and Stomp’, a more eclectic album than their previous ones but no less enjoyable to listen to. With their next album currently underway, the future looks bright for this energetic band, and for Tammy herself whose artistic aspirations extend beyond the musical. Very much the front-person, she has been the principal song writer since the band’s third album and has designed all the band’s album covers.

Iron Man 2 Review

For a film driven by a tale of revenge, Iron Man 2 had the potential to be much darker than its predecessor, much like Empire Strikes Back was to Star Wars, but it’s surprisingly bereft of negative emotions, instead presenting most scenes in a light-hearted, sometimes comedic way. Fair enough, the first film did this too, but the effect is more noticable here due in no small part to Rourke’s imposing performance as scruffy

Rebecca Black: Friday

You can make fun of pop music or rap music or even J-pop, but at least sometimes the songs are catchy or the artist does have skill even if the song is cheesy. I guess the question you have to ask yourself is does it matter how you become famous as long as you become famous?

Iron Man

Stark to a tee, as does the decor of his updated, futuristic Malibu mansion – his workshop is full of super-advanced technology and watching him interact with it all is really enjoyable, especially his banter with his computer and robotic helpers!As you might imagine, after three months in captivity, in a cave, in fear of his life, Tony’s ordeal changes him. When he finally gets back home, he declares that the company he inherited from his father

Class Struggle

Class Struggle manages to combine marxist theory, excellent humor and sheer fun. Each player is randomly (as in real life) assigned as a class and races towards the center of the board (in a spiraling way) in order to win the final confrontation of the classes. Should the workers or their allies win, it’s socialism. Should the capitalists or their allies win, it’s not. The rules are simple
