I was wondering when this one would be covered.  Good episode.  Love this series.

Whoa whoa whoa, you could actually beat Super Mario Bros? What about that castle that goes on forever until the time runs out? I always assumed that it was supposed to be some sort of statement about the "futility of obsession" or something by the game designers.

I'm pleased that you are showing a much larger percentage of the video with game footage rather than yourself - thank you for dispelling my concerns that these are 'look how pretty I am' videos. Attractive you are; but of course it's games that draw us to this website!

Though I would love to see you getting 'gritty' sitting at a desk actually playing a game; no kind of perverse reasons of course, but more akin to that Irish chap's (forget his name) videos: it makes for a more convincing critic/analyst if we get to see them actually playing games ;)

@willzihang You're more than welcome to catch me playing horror games every Tuesday night (PST) or Wednesday afternoon (AEST) on House of Horrors at twitch.tv/gamespot! Dead Space kicked my ass a bit today, though.

I pictured this image: 

Mario, a 24 year old Italian able to fix a minor leak under the sink no problem, is a fan of Jess's.  While enjoying too many  mushrooms not sold in stores;) he searches the castles of the UK to see if Jess is perhaps inside.  Castle guard, "Sorry mate, maybe she's in another castle?... ... (under his breath)yeah right..."

Kinda creepy, but if that could happen, maybe the idea of Mario isn't too far fetched.

can't really put my finger on why, but I don't feel this "meme" really stacks up against the others

This meme was a meme before memes even existed. Since I was like 5 my friends and I would say that phrase whenever we failed to find/get something.


Also, anyone else get upset when Mario didn't get all the coins at about :12?

@kljhkll Because he was kidnaped by Bowser too. Duh. He doesn't know where she is.

@jessie82 Not that much to say =] Sorry about that, I keep my shows between -12 and -6 levels and I think the ads are -6.
