Game Blog / Super Mario Super Coloring Book

« on: April 19, 2008, 06:11:41 PM »

This may be a bit old (circa December 2007), but for a slow weekend it will kill some time. James Elston is a free-lance illustrator, and at the beginning of December last year made some Super Mario color-in pages just for his 6-year old son. I am impressed by the work he put into them, especially since most of them he made without image manipulation. If anyone manages to print one out and color it, share it with us in the Fungi Forums!

Game Blog / Mario Kart Wii Driving School: Las Vegas

« on: April 19, 2008, 04:28:04 PM »

Last weekend, the Mario Kart Wii Driving School had a pit stop in Las Vegas, NV, and #tmk user teh_yoshi was able to attend. You may have seen other videos and pictures, but trust me, the story behind this experience is one you have to read. Let me just say that I never have heard of someone being kicked out of a Nintendo event. Check out the story below!

Game Blog / MKWii Tops List of Must Play Nintendo Games

« on: April 19, 2008, 04:16:00 PM »

Lofygaming.com took the entire library of upcoming Nintendo games and managed to pick 10 titles that Wii and DS owners can look forward to. Pass the obvious choices (like Mario Kart Wii), they make some good selections. Mind you, this is only amongst the titles we know about, and if Nintendo's past is any indication, there's bound to be a surprise soon.

Yeah Luigison we might have to take that link down. I don't appreciate you giving out the answer like that.

What?  No he doesn't.  That didn't help me find the secret page at all.  I don't think it exists.

Hah, it helps you if you already know it. Otherwise you'll have to think outside the box.

^ Yeah. Cross-over fighters = Not my thing.

So I guess you don't like the Smash Bros. or Marvel vs Capcom series?

General Chat / Re: Your favorite healthy foods

Well, cooked brocolli is pretty good, I like most salads and fruits... I used to eat carrots, but I try not to since I've gotten my braces.

Tea? I'd heard so much about it all my life that I finally decided to try it when I when to India and... it tasted like pureed weeds--and that was with a handful of sugar cubes. I guess you've got to be weaned on the stuff as a Brit to really "get" the taste (I can't be sure if I'd like coffee, though).

I am a Mexican Texan American, and I get Tea. You don't have to be weaned on it, you just need your parents to make it for you on a hot summer day. Heck, I wouldn't recommend it, but even McDonald's serves Iced Tea.

Why do I have a feeling someone is going to say "Wait, Fungi Forums has a site?!"

I just saw the trailer and watched an interview with Mr. Boon, and I am actually a bit excited for this game. Anyone else looking forward to this title?

Game Blog / Mario Wii Titles Among Most Tiring Games

« on: April 18, 2008, 03:43:49 PM »

Nintendic.com listed five Wii games that have tired them out the most while playing. Out of the five, Mario Party 8 and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games earn spots. I do agree with them about Mario & Sonic; I remember being a bit sore and sweaty after that one!

Game Blog / Black Wii Wheel Out in the Wild?

« on: April 18, 2008, 03:24:53 PM »

A while back, The team behind Mario Kart Wii made mention of a Black Wii Wheel (as well as a Gold one) they had created but not intended to release... Or was it released? The above picture is from a NeoGAF user who claims that he has an official Wii Wheel in black. He doesn't mention where it came from, meaning as of now the likelihood of it being available through retail is low. Hard to deny one fact: That is the Wii Wheel, and it is indeed black!

Game Blog / Super Mario Bros. Oil Painted

« on: April 18, 2008, 02:51:43 PM »

Flickr user GasPanic has added a Super Mario Bros. Boxart Oil Painting to his account, and it's pretty impressive. Not sure what the scale of the painting is, but it seems to be large and is definitely in charge. Good job Mario painter!

Game Blog / What Mario Would Drive IRL

« on: April 18, 2008, 12:24:35 AM »

Gamedaily.com made a list for the cars they think Mario and friends would drive in real life, from Mario in a Ferrari Enzo to Bowser in a Chevy Suburban. I'm sure us hardcore Mario fans could come up with better choices, don't you? What's silly is that they gave Peach a Pink Cadillac, when we all know that's clearly Wario's ride!
