I Breathe Fire and I VOTE
Bowser recently went into town to speak his mind about the dangers of unchecked power in the executive branch. Funny that a monarch would feel that way, but it's a free country, brah. More pics on the jump. More » -

Mario Explains Relationships for Us
It's no secret I peek at Reddit when I'm working weekends. But last week its contributors made something too hilarious not to share: An extremely dark view of relationships, in the context of Super Mario Bros. More » -

Mario Gets a Ransom Note
The -Minus World hallucinated a ransom demand from Bowser to Mario Re: Princess Peach (aka "ho" according to this) — but look closely. All the letters were cut from game-related logos. More » -

On Unrequited Love and Gaming
Ah, unrequited love — a classic theme in all sorts of media, and gaming is no exception. There's a wonderful little post over at auntie pixelante on the issue as it relates to games — and why it is so powerful. As far as I'm concerned, the whole player-game relationship is founded on unrequited love (and at least, unrequited adoration). The article takes a look at a Wii game called Art Style: Orbient, it's a meditation on the 'so close, yet so far away' phenomenon that is all over the place in classic games and newer iterations: More » -

Super Mario Mural: And ... Mario's Already Missed a Coin
Am I the only one looking at this with an OCD urge to rip back the controller and go hit the first coinbox? Come on, this is World 1-1. And it's painted on a concrete wall, although Mr. Juandrful over at Kezins doesn't say exactly where. More » -

Game Marathons: Fad, or Going the Distance?
Two weeks ago saw an extraordinarily successful, more-than-72 hour Super Mario Marathon that raised more than $11,000 for a gamers' charity for kids. This week, four Mega Man enthusiasts are finding out how hard of an act that is to follow — as a fund drive anyway. A new web site indicates that game marathons are a mushrooming craze, capitalizing partly on gamers who enjoy watching others fail at classic console titles. The question is, how long will it last?

Super Mario Really Is A Plumber (And Heating Specialist)
Crack open a pint of ice cream and grab the tissues. We have some very bad news. Super Mario, you know, that guy who has saved the world/Princess on multiple occasions while facing ridiculous odds? He's a plumber in Europe. Yeah, and that's the picture is his van. His van! Sure, Superior Bathrooms by SuperMario "takes bathroom projects to new heights," but it sinks our hearts to new lows.

Superbarrio, Cares Not for the Princesses
Many of you will have heard of Superbarrio before. Because for the past ten years, he's been an active symbol of protection for the poor and working class in Mexico City. Participating in protests and leading petitions, he is a needed by the needy and works for the working. But how did he choose his name?I opened my eyes and found myself as you see me with a voice telling me, 'You are Superbarrio...I can't stop a plane or a train single-handed, but I can keep a family from being evicted.
But could Superbarrio (translating to 'super neighborhood') be Superbarrio without his world-famous, rhyming counterpart, Super Mario? Of course not. He'd just be Super Sweet Fat Guy. So thank-you, Nintendo, for all you've done. And Superbarrio, you're alright, too. More » -
