His statement was really sincere and moving and, pre-internet, I would have totally bought it, but it took 10 seconds of searching to find that he not only has repeated since he was "a young man," but that he would voluntarily bring it up. He wanted this to be "1 of his things." Now it is in a different way.

*Mario voice* Here you goooooooo! http://www.mariowiki.com/Ma…

Oh, please, God has that change. He shelled out for a Neo Geo AES and wouldn't play a 16-bit system in 1990 like some lesser deity.

Oh, wow, Anthony. You remain amazing. I love essays that avoid the typical or folk knowledge.

I have been a workhorse at work and personal life for the past 9 months, so I get what it's like not to have free time-free time, but, seriously, they are pissing me off.

1. YES. I thought about Super Mario Land 1, but it's not really that weird, just an oddball game. It would be like those indie knockoffs of better games made today, where they just reskin a game they like with tweaked mechanics. 2, 2 is weird, and not just as "alternative Super Mario World." Don't forget Cowfish! http:…

Does anyone know if the real Super Mario Brothers 2 (a.k.a. Lost Levels) is viewed that way in Japan, too? Like, "what if Super Mario Brothers 1 was made by Konami?"

You should play the other weird games made by those people. *points to avatar* Search "Geno" here. http://www.neogaf.com/forum…

I was looking up confirmation that it was Bobby Flay who's the deadbeat dad, only to find that January Jones is dating Will Forte(!!!!).

"Come look at Imgur scans of GhaleonQ's childhood notebook doodlings of Mario levels. It was like Super Mario Maker before Super Mario Maker!"

It's Johann Johannsson on the Sicario soundtrack, too. I'd always liked him, and he somehow became an in-demand composer. https://www.youtube.com/wat… I'm ready for something mind-blowing.

She does 1 thing, but she is amazing at that 1 thing.

American title of Super Donkey Kong 2, in which Diddy rescues Donkey from capture:
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Kong Quest = quest for Kong
Kong Quest = CONQUEST OMG OMG OMG

Screw people who say comedy doesn't age well. I laughed out loud just reading the concept.

Trump aside, you get recruited to be president by the party.

Speaking as a right-winger, take most of that with grains of salt.

Tons of people on my (right) side of the aisle love him, too, and not because he's a squish or a "everyone's a little bit wrong and everyone's a little bit right" type.

In comparison, Sufjan Stevens coming through with a similar thing (long time since his last album, huge band) but with a hugely acclaimed album cost 36, and he put on a 2-hour show.

No, this is what I was worried Sufjan Steven's comeback L.P. was going to be. It is so feeble.

The whole "narrative" of Condon's comeback is that if you saw him 2008 or later, it was probably a bad show.
