Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 9
A much shorter gap between 8 and 9 than 7 and 8! Going into Progress Update 9, I had 1 star remaining (that I know of) before the Kitchen Observatory’s Bowser battle. I jumped back into the Ghostly Galaxy for the final star. This level introduced me to the Bomb Boos, black ghosts that would explode when spun into an object. Mastering spinning the ghosts where you want is the only way to ...[Read More]
Shao Kahn is kinda pervy
Late last year, Lindsey and I came across an amazing video on YouTube showing Shao Kahn’s creepy perverted side near the end of a match between Sub-Zero and Liu Kang. Poor Subby Wubby. He shouldn’t have to put up with that kind of harassment. youtube::hWOYt-TYmII:: -Because I said so
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 8
Never fear, I haven’t given up on this game quite yet! Life has been good at keeping me away from it for the past couple of weeks, but no longer! Progress update 8 finds me back in the Kitchen Observatory, collecting more stars! Having completed all but one galaxy in the Kitchen Observatory (other than the Bowser Galaxy), I turn my attention to the Ghostly Galaxy’s first star, ̶...[Read More]
Halo 2
I never played Halo 2 very often. I’m not particularly brilliant at it, and never have been. I’m getting better, but it’s a slow process. Lindsey, on the other hand, is a fiend. She was very well known on Xbox Live, and was a very skilled player. She gave it up for a couple of years, but a few nights ago, the urge to play hit her hard, and we found ourselves playing Halo 2 o...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 7
Progress update 7 brings me back to the Kitchen Observatory, where I re-entered the Beach Bowl Galaxy for the second star. This star was incredibly simple. It consisted only of tracking down a golden shell in the posession of a small penguin and returning it to the head penguin. It took all of two minutes from start to finish. The third star had you transport yourself from the water world to t...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 6
The sixth progress update finds me just outside the Kitchen Observatory, where I have unlocked another special one-star galaxy called the Drip Drop Galaxy. This galaxy is a water world with a pair of small safe islands for resting, if necessary. In this world, you are told that holding a red or green shell while underwater dramatically increases your swimming speed. In fact, it makes you outpac...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 5
We have arrived at the fifth progress update of my run through Super Mario Galaxy! This one is rather shorter than the previous progress updates as I only went through a few stars due to other plans. At the end of the fourth progress update, I had yet to fight Bowser in the Fountain Observatory galaxies. Last night, I made that my first goal. It was an interesting battle, but didn’t cont...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 4
Shortly after we wrapped up episode 15 of the MehCast, I fired up the Wii and got into a new set of Super Mario Galaxy adventures. I mentioned the Prankster Comets in my third progress update, and I have some more details now due to experiencing two more last night. I gained another star from the Terrace Observatory via the Good Egg Galaxy using a Speedy Comet, as well as completing the Fountain...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 3
In my third progress update, we continue on our path of conquering the Fountain Observatory galaxies, having completely conquered the Terrace Observatory galaxies by the second progress update. Currently, I stand at 17 stars and over 1,000 star bits. I have completed the Space Junk galaxy, and when next I play, I will be challenging the Battlerock galaxy. I beat the special Rolling Green galaxy...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 2
Last night, in between watching the Food Network, Scrubs, DVR’d episodes of WCG Ultimate Gamer, and the season premiere of Dinner: Impossible, I found time to squeeze in some more Super Mario Galaxy. I’ve completed the first set of Galaxies completely (both of the full three-star galaxies, all three special one-star galaxies, and the Bowser, Jr. boss galaxy), and have started in on th...[Read More]
WCG Ultimate Gamer
Lindsey and I were up very late a few nights ago, and we noticed something on the Sci-Fi channel called “WCG Ultimate Gamer”. Both of us being avid gamers, this piqued our curiosity, and we switched over. What we saw was a re-run of the first episode of WCG Ultimate Gamer, a “reality” competition show with video game challenges. It’s a very interesting show, and th...[Read More]
