I got it!  I slowed down my finger-jamming so that my direction pushes actually registered.  More importantly, I've learned that you need to hold down the original direction until you land the jump: e.g. if you start a slide to the left, don't switch from D-pad left to D-pad right until you land.  Now I can beat staff ghosts!  Now I can dominate online!  My, how the pwners have become the pwnt!  Muhahahaha!

Yeah, they worshipped Stan as the reincarnation of L. Ron Hubbard.  It was Tom Cruise who got Comedy Central to stop airing the episode; whether he did it because they ridiculed Scientology or because they implied he was gay is anyone's guess.

I think it's funny that they no longer show the episode of South Park that criticizes Scientology and questions Tom Cruise's heterosexuality.  I was lucky to see it the night it originally aired (though it was actually a pretty stupid episode).

Plums, because I like the juice.

Would you rather have prunes or raisins?

I like him... but maybe that's just because he was in the same game as Bowser Jr. and he looks good by comparison.

Yeah, you're right... maybe just the one game is dead to me.

I just discovered that I can unlock stuff in Advance Wars: Dual Strike by inserting the GBA Advance Wars 1 & 2 cartridges into the DS.  Of course, I don't have either of the old cartidges, having traded them in at EB Games when the new Wars games game out.  I'm furious.  I intentionally go out of my way to avoid any games that work in conjunction with other games, except in rare cases when I would naturally own both games anyway (e.g. Metroid Prime/Metroid Fusion).  I can no longer enjoy Advance Wars: Dual Strike, because I will always know that my game can never be complete.  The Wars series is dead to me now.  I'm going to trade in Advance Wars: Dual Strike at EB Games tomorrow out of spite.

I don't see what everyone has against Glover.  My cartridge kept deleting my saved games, which annoyed me to no end... but the game itself was quite fun.

I think I'll just give it to solidmushroom, because I don't want this topic to die and I doubt anyone knows the original source.
Spoiler: It's the inscription Billy Pilgrim wants on his tombstone in the novel Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut.  "So it goes" is another quote from the same novel.

For all not knowing.
Here is a clue presented by the Deezer himself.

What once was lost, now is found. Or is it the other way around? Run to the end. Look to the sky. Don't try to jump--it's up way too high. Nine of us in all, unlocked by the sound

I found it!

I beat the game years ago so I don't remember the details, but there are many great walkthroughs for the game here.  One thing I do remember, though (spoiler): The boss you get at the end of this level is the only real difference you'll notice if you play the game multiple times, choosing different paths for Augustus.  All three of the bosses are beaten in essentially the same way (though you have to use different elements in your spells).  That's another thing I disliked about the game: I played it three times to get the alleged "uber ending" (which sucked, by the way) and all three times it was exactly the same.  It was boring the first time, so it was a chore to play it two more times.

Why don't you have Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island on the list?  Many consider it to be the greatest platformer ever (though I still prefer SMB3)...
