I'm sure it's really no different. It's just an arbitrary goal I've set whose urgency derives entirely from the fact that I haven't done it yet. Always some stupid cheap bullshit hit!

BUFF DRINKLOTS

Negative World in SMB was a definite mind-bender for me. The game wasn't broken, exactly, but it sure seemed like it.

Head-to-head Dr. Mario was an all-time favorite pastime back in the day. Those games could get heated!

Yup, that's correct. It only works in worlds 1, 3, 5, and 6.

I still play SMB3 on the Wii emulator dealie. My one big goal is to beat Bowser while wearing the Hammer Bros. suit. I can beat Bowser very easily ordinarily, but for some reason, when I'm wearing the Hammer Bros. suit, I always end up taking a cheap hit somewhere and losing it. It's so goddamn aggravating.

Yeah, I think that's a fair assessment. There were some good ideas in there, but they were undone by some really bad flaws and design choices—not the least of which being the "kneel while holding the crystal to summon a tornado" thing mentioned upthread.

"You think you're pretty smart, don't you, Trebek? What with your dago mustache and your greasy hair!"

*Toby cracks up*

One of my favorite reaction-to-Michael-Scott faces of the series.

I love that the only intelligible lines are "Jan Revinson Gould" and "me so horny."

I don't think Roy was Jim's competition; rather, Pam's inertia of being with Roy was the competition. It wasn't just that Jim had to win her over, he had to get her out of the rut to which she had resigned herself. Which is not a bad angle to take—it's certainly a realistic one—just an occasionally frustrating one.

I haven't watched this show in many years, but one thing I did find amusing was the way ol' Teej would say, "Good job. You killed it," after every challenge, but he would say it in a completely flat, unaffected voice not too far from that of the "Welcome to Costco. I love you," guy from Idiocracy.

Man, that is awesome.

"…we all see the little black boy in the corner, right? OK. Whew!"

"De-ay-bah-tees" and "diabeetus" are the only acceptable pronunciations of the word.

One of my favorite Tracy lines (the way he says "eats away at our braaain?" cracks me up every time) followed by a great Dr Spaceman line. So freakin' good.

And Jerry, the suspenders? A little hacky.

"What? This? No, no. I was at a costume party earlier this evening and the hostess's dog attacked me, so I had to stab it"
