  Isn’t this how Mr. K found his wife???

  Ugh. This was obviously written by someone with no knowledge of Super Mario Bros.

  First of all, “the boss”? Please, his name is King Koopa. Or Bowser, if you’re a stickler for the original names. And I resent the fact that he insinuates that the only way to defeat him is to topple the bridge and make him fall. Any player with any kind of skill would have long since obtained the fire flower.

  And what is even more damning, there is no princess at the end of world 1-4 as the author says. The end of 1-4, like every other castle level, simply features a little mushroom man who says “Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!” The princess isn’t found until world 8-4, by which time I’m sure he’d have fallen asleep.

  Man. I wonder what was goin’ on at his house during his prepubescent years.

  If I get from behind from playing Super Mario Brothers, what kind of action can I expect from playing The Legend of Zelda?

  I got a tip to go to YouTube and search on “GTA4 sex”. This would yield posts of the sex scenes in the latest Grand Theft Auto video game. This is jaw-dropping stuff. I mean, I don’t want to start censoring or anything, but this is over the top. And I’m sure the players understand the difference between fantasy and reality, and they’re not going to go out in real life and pick up whores and pay for sex and then shoot them to get the money back, while shouting expletives with rap blaring in the background. The whole thing is too cartoonish to take it seriously. It would have been more disturbing if it had been more subtle. And yet…well, it was nevertheless just too unclean. Something is wrong here. This stuff…it should be hidden away in dirty little corners, and not an openly-available best seller.

  There’s a “joystick” joke in there somewhere, but I can’t find it.

  *sniff*

  This is *so beautiful!*

  Seriously, though, this has to be a joke, right? Right? Anyone?

  I don’t mean to derail the topic, but this is just great.

  I love, love LOVE Fox News. Any channel that surreptitiously adds yellow teeth and deep eye-circles to peoples’ faces is a winner in my book. Next up: drawing Hitler mustaches and tooth gaps with a Sharpie.

  That is one for the top of “The Best of Craigslist” list….

  I love the supposition that while all of this is going on, the intrepid player will be successful in jumping from level to level without repeating any or losing the game - I mean what happens if you hear “Game Over” before he’s done?

  And who brings the quarters?

  I’m more of a Castlevania man, myself.

  there is only a few seconds after mario dies before the level resets. Not really enough time to pull out and spank. also speedy, if i’m fire or big mario I just run through and take the hit at bowser. It just is an old habit.

• 18 pal Jacky // Jul 3, 2008 at 11:33 am

  also, considering how much a original nintendo goes for on Ebay these days, it might be just the ticket to strongarm the idiot.
  What a great police report.

  I appreciate that April resizes her browser down before doing the screen cap, so as to eliminate sideways scrolling on the part of her readers. oh that April, she’s a giver.

  Everyone can find the sex in the GTA series, but in the final fantasy series it takes a very special kind of illness.

  The greatest sex scene in any video game ever. Keep in mind I’m a real sick fuck.(but not creepy)

  Speedy, it sounds like you are the perfect candidate for answering the ad.

• 23 DavidinBerkeley // Jul 3, 2008 at 5:04 pm

  Andre, you are still the funniest.

  Personally, if the dude wants THIS much expertise from his boink-ee’s, I think he should pay them.
