The White Mushroom House / Super Mario Figurine Set

« on: November 26, 2013, 03:42:27 PM »

MidnightBox.com has another Super Mario Figurine Set for sale: 



As with the previous sets note that MidnightBox charges shipping, these are PVC, 1 to 2.5" tall, and are likely made in China.  According to the site, "The Super Mario Figurine Set includes Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Koopa Troopa, Lakitu, and more."  Hmm.  Can you name the "more" including the duplicates?  More images on the site.

For when you have a child?  Back in my day there were less than 800 Pokemon, we played sports by flapping our wrest around, and we didn't need any of those fancy chips you have in your body.

Wasn't the SMB 1-up trick originally a glitch?  If so, count that as my number uno.

In a recent GT.TV episode Reggie Fils-Aime teased, “We may be making an appearance, we may have something special" at the Dec. 7th VGX.   

Jump to 20:04 in the following video to hear him for yourself:

Nice post.  I, on the other hand, will take a cheap shot. 

I noticed from the poll that we have a higher than average gay population on this board.  Maybe the U R MR GAY thing has some validity. 



Or maybe I'm just making a stupid connection from an unscientific poll.  Regardless, I support gay marriage.

Crud.  I should have taken a picture before I failed no shave November.  Someone told me I looked like George Lucas.

What is it?

A word used to give a negative response, but that's not important right now.  The problem is that the videos may be old.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOmD-xqK2Es

I was watching The Simpson when the dryer beeped so I inadvertently paused the TV at about the 22 second mark of this commercial:  http://www.ispot.tv/ad/71gv/motorola-moto-x-customize-song-by-kanye-west

On my way back up from checking on the laundry my daughter asked, "Did you turn the Wii U on?" referring to the paused screen.

The article isn't bad, but a full list of games would be better.  For example, WarioWare games should be listed specifically by game instead of saying WarioWare Series and WarioWare.  I was trying to make a flowchart just based on the article, but couldn't complete it with so many holes.

Mario Chat / Re: Favorite Mario Kart

Console:  DD and Portable:  DS. 

What about other kart racing games?  I liked ModNation, but the load times killed the experience.  I haven't played LBP Karting.  How was it? 

I also enjoyed the Namco racing game at E3 that had Pac-Man, but I can't recall its name at the moment. 

Excite Truck was the most fun I ever had with a racing game!
