I Am Like the Cool Villain

 The Older JAck Nicholson version

Recently looking through Wikipedia on The Dark Knight’s wikipedia page, I was reading a little on the character of the Joker. He has been confirmed to be being played by Heath Ledger, but I found it hillarious to see the other auditioners, including Steve Carrell and Robin Williams. I’ll leave you alone in your thoughts a minute to picture that.  Ledger said to prepare for the role, he spent a month in a hotel room, reading comic books and getting the psychology of the character just right. I think he has nailed it, although he is going for a deeper, more maniacal character. Which is sure to be awesome. I want to see a harley Quinn reference. Although, I’m a little frightened for the movie. As you can see from the picture above, he’s scary! Kids are gonna wet their pants when they see this movie! I might even wet myself ! I am definitely looking forward to this movie. OK, I just found out they have a new trailer for The Dark Knight on IGN, here is the link to it. My Internet’s slow, so one of you has to watch it!!!

Mushroom Cancer

  

Hello, My Name is Earl, and today I am going to talk to you about a very serious disease, called Mushroom Cancer. The disease is very sharp and viceral, and claims thousands of lives each and every day. It occurs whenevera player is playing a Mario game, and more specifically whenever the player faces a challenge they just aren’t ready for. They’ll fall flat on their face time after time, and will soon run out of lives, thus representing the cancerous quality. However, the cancer is so powerful, the player neglected in the past to save their game, thus throwing them into a depression cycle, possibly ending their play of that game for days, and depriving them of the joy they could have gotten(excuse men *tears*) from that game, if only they had been immune from the Mushroom Cancer. So please, heed my words, work your way up, get experience before you take on Bowser Jr.’s armada, and you’ll spare yourself from this awful disease.

Super Mario Galaxy

 

(10.00/10.00) Definitely my favorite game of 2007, Super Mario Galaxy is indeed a perfect game. The story tells of Mushroom Kingdom’s every 100 year tradition of celebrating a comet passing by, however this time, Bowser crashes the party and not only kidnaps Peach, but the entire castle. He promises to create his own galaxy with Peach by his side. Mario is soon teleported to a space station with Rosalina and her many stars, who promise to take Mario to her after he collects enough stars to propel them there. This game is by far the best looking Wii game I’ve ever seen, not inducing realism, but beaut-ism. The environments are colorful and gorgeous, just making you stand in awe of the beauty. Mario this time has a sleigh-full of tricks up his sleeve, sorry for the Christmas reference, I miss it. He has several powerups, including Bee Mario, Spring Mario, Ghost Mario, Rainbow Mario, and much more. Even Luigi makes an appearance! An annoying, troublesome appearance, several times getting lost and needing rescue. THese all come in handy in different situations, and are well utilized scattered throughout the game. WHenever going to different worlds, you go to a different room-terrace, kitchen, etc. These will act as a gateway to different worlds. Whenever you get more stars, you get more worlds. After you get so many, you take on a mini-boss in the form of Bowser or Bowser Jr. After you collect 60 stars, you go after Peach. The boss battles are epic, once again utilizing different techniques. This all leads up to Bowser, whose boss battle was pretty easy, but so was Ganondorf in Twilight Princess. Anyway, I love this game, and any Wii Fan should as well. If you like Mario, it goes without saying this is the game for you. However, if you don’t like Mario, what’s wrong with you? This is a must-have Wii title, and is a gaming masterpiece.
