Widowmaker

Tuesday, July 11, 2006



Progress has been made on The Unbreakables, no thanks to this nasty. I found a couple black widows hanging out around our studio. They met my foot.

Liz's sister came out and did a brief internship with us. She left very tired.










Speaking of tired, I stayed up the other night and beat Super Mario 2. Here is a picture proving my accomplishment as well as a video I made showing the ending of the game. That might have been my finest hour. I put it up on YouTube for the world to see.





And here is a little backstory of Super Mario 2 from Wikpedia, for you nerds out there:

"Super Mario Bros. 2 is the third offical sequel to Super Mario Bros., and the first to be released to on the NES outside of Japan, and was released in North America in October 1988 and in Europe in 1989.

Super Mario Bros. 2 is a remake of Doki Doki Panic, a Japan-only game. Nintendo licensed Mario to Hudson Soft, who developed the first official sequel to SMB, the wholly obscure Super Mario Bros. Special and only released on the NEC PC88 Japanese PC. Nintendo then developed their own sequel to Super Mario Bros. and released it in Japan as Super Mario Bros. 2. The Japanese SMB2 was released in America and Europe in Super Mario All-Stars as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and later in the Game Boy Color Super Mario Bros. remake. Nintendo decided that this game was too difficult and chose not to release the game in North America and Europe. They instead remade Doki Doki Panic as a Mario title. This game was later released as Super Mario USA in Japan in 1990."

Thanks for the comments Ale Stop-Motion. You are right, Super Mario is an amazing game. I'll tell you what, I'm going to crack open a beer and play a little right now. You've inspired me.

Harv- I had no idea we had the "classic videogame" nerd gene in common, as well as the "stopmo" nerd gene. Of course, NES is a little modern for me. If you ever want to rock some Atari on my 57" screen just let me know!

Ethan, the NES is too modern for you. Are you crazy? What are you, Calvi's age?

I could just imagine how big the pixels would be on your 57", like the size of a beer can!
