 Mario's come a long way in just the last 10 years graphics-wise.

Yep.  Mine was more or less a shameless ripoff, no matter how hard I may have tried to disguise it.

These things are always so hard...for one thing I was gone from about mid October until Christmas, so I'm sure a lot of stuff went down that I'm not even aware of.  Oh well, I'm sure I'll think of something.

Hey, Jman! ...Wait, it's the 27th--you still here?

Yeah, I'm still here.  My new year's resolution for 2010 is to spend more time on the very first forum I ever joined.

Sail the Grand Line with Mario!

First, tell everybody you can find in a 300 mile radius that someday you hope to be the king of the pirates.  Then take your copy of SM64 and put it on a boat while singing "I'm On a Boat."  Sail around the world in your ship with only your game as your fellow crewmember.  If you make it home alive, make sure to get in a swordfight with anyone who uses the three sword technique.  If you survive this, get home and dust off your N64 because it will have gathered a ton of dust by this time.  Pop in the game, and now you can play a brand new adventure which is basically the plot of One Piece with Mario characters.  And you can never turn the game back to the way it was before, so you'd better enjoy it, or you'll have to find a new copy.

I've decided to return on this one day of days.  So how is everybody?

How did this place ever manage to be a bustling general discussion centre if it can't even support a solid month's worth of ongoing conversation nowadays?

Anyway, I'll take an Orange Crush, preferrably one without cobwebs.

Believe it or not, I had my own topic like this back in the day.  It would never have survived for more than a few posts today, what with LD's point about the multiple threads like this one now.

As far as I've seen, rap is 99% egotism and generic proclamations of love, all to a repetitive backbeat, someone else's riff, and/or women making noises.

Well, I definitely agree on the "someone else's riff" thing.  Even rock artists are guilty of this *coughkid rockcough*

Bought during the course of Christmas shopping:
Ontamarama
The Dark Spire
Etrian Odyssey II
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
Raiden III
Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA 2
Space Channel 5 Special Edition
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (light novel)
PS/2-to-USB adapters so that I can use regular peripherals with my netbook; these may become useless if I end up buying the zBoard I'm currently borrowing.
A MIDI-to-USB cable
A VGA-to-RCA/S-video adapter, so that I can connect my netbook to a television
A PS2 stand

I also bought Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ but later returned it. I may rebuy it at some point in the future.

Received as presents:
Wario Land 4
Pac-Man Collection
Chaos Field
Viewtiful Joe 2
Dance Dance Revolution X (with pad)
Guitar Hero: On Tour
TrackMania DS
Gahan Wilson's Monster Collection
2GB of RAM for my netbook
A digital watch with world-time function

Also, the external hard drive enclosure that I've been using for months is officially mine as of today.

So, how's the holiday been going for you guys? My family finished presents and everything a few minutes ago. We'll be eating dinner with my grandfather later on. (For those interested, our traditional Christmas dinner is lasagna.)

Nice haul.  I already own the first Haruhi novel.  I'm going to buy the second one and read it before I go back up to college.  Oh, and before I forget...Merry Christmas TMK!

Captain Lou Albano died today.  He was involved with the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, wasn't he?  I already knew he was a pro wrestler.

Holy [dukar], bro. I've had heavy stuff hit my head, but that toe bit made me cringe.

I dropped a pretty heavy steel shelf on by big toe once.  Lost my toenail, in fact.
