Just to let you know, I’m working on a feature as we speak. We’re also going to be putting up a few commentaries tonight, done by our little Gnome…she’s quite helpful with the deficit. I’m up to 68 Shines in Super Mario Sunshine, and I can’t think of enough things to say about the game. It takes skill. And, this is the strangest thing I can think of, despite not being set in the Mushroom Kingdom and having almost none of the old enemies, it feels more like an old-school Mario game than Super Mario 64 ever accomplished. And I love Super Mario 64. The only thing that really worries me is that some of the levels where you are left without your water pack make me feel like a pansy. I didn’t realize this until one in particular. I had to do a triple jump and hit a very narrow, moving platform in the middle of nowhere. I did it on the first try and was damn proud. But what bothered me is that stuff like that used to be common place…but you get so used to that damn hover pack…oh well. Without the hover pack, this game would be impossible , so I’m glad that it’s there. It just makes me feel a little bit soft.
Anyway, I’m going to go back to working on the feature now. While I’m doing so, read this. I don’t think their punishment was severe enough.
