So I have been playing NSMB Wii lately, and I am almost done with the 4th world. The game overall is more of the same as other 2D Mario platformers, but in this case, it's a good thing. I do see many similarities with older games, such as New Super Mario Bros. DS (overall look, level design), Super Mario World (Yoshis, some level designs) and especially Super Mario Bros. 3 (Koopa Kids, the airship level, other level designs, usage of map items, some of the minigames, etc.), but I have to say the multiplayer is where it's at. I only played a bit with my sis (who's the only one I can play with when she's around), but it's a lot of fun. Expect a review when I'm done.

And I also wanted to say thanks to everyone who came out for my 20K post party both in OT and here in my blog. I'd personally like to thank: MistressMinako, double_decker, Travo_basic, 2ndWonder, JustPlainLucas, horgen123, Cutekitten6_18, everyone who posts in RC, and anyone else I might have forgotten to mention. You're all awesome.

Yes, I have reached 20K. The post party is here, so drop me a line there.

Today, at 11 AM ET, I will have my own car again. It's a 1994 Plymouth Voyager minivan, but beggars can't be choosers. Why, do you ask? My mom's getting a new car: a 2010 Subaru Forester.



Nice one, eh? This'll be my family's third car bought in three years. The second one they bought was the car I used to drive: a 1997 Ford Taurus that fatally broke down in April. Ironic thing is, it's back on the road, since we sold it to a mechanic. >_> Oh well, at least I'll be back on the road in a car of my own now.

Now that I have a car, I'll need to pay for gas and maintenance. So, I'm thinking of getting another job for the rest of my time at school. I might be going back to Quiznos, seeing as they're under new ownership since I last worked there and they seem to be doing well. Not to mention I have over 2 years of experience working for that type of restaurant. This will be temporary, but it'll last until June at the least.

In gaming-related news, I picked up Dragon Age Origins for the PC two days ago, and I must say, it draws you in. It might end up being my most-played PC game of all time besides the Half-Life games, lol. So far, I've played through two hours, and it looks really good. BTW, everything you hear about bad graphics is coming from console players, because if you have a good enough PC like mine, the graphics aren't an issue. The system requirements for DA:O are rather high on PC, but if you built or bought a high-end system within the last year or so, you shouldn't have a problem.

That's all from me right now. Majora's Mask Endurance Run Part 7B should be up on my YouTube space by the end of today. In the meantime, I made this video a few days ago:

Yes, I know I haven't posted anything for my endurance run in two months... but that will change soon. Once I get some minor stuff with school out of the way (which should take a few days), I'll record my commentary for part 7B and put it up on YouTube. The alternative would be to wait until Thanksgiving break for my sister to come home, but I know you guys don't want to wait for that. So expect part 7B to be up by the end of the week. Sorry again for the long delay, but school has been a factor in keeping me from doing this.
