I barely remember playing Blaster Master as a kid, though I certainly did, to be sure. I don't think I "got it" at the time. I'm excited to nab the remake. I'm less tempted to buy the original, though, because people tell me it's crazy hard.

It was pretty long, but only by virtue of having long musical tracks.
I can't BELIEVE I correctly guessed the third game. I had the NES version, and it was very difficult. I also got the 4th game right--I just played it with some forum friends the other night!

Once Bowser and Peach step in, Mallow and Geno are basically worthless. I found it interesting that Mallow leveled up one time while he wasn't in my party, suggesting that all the characters get experience from fights. I'm really blowing through the game...I beat Bowyer and Punchinello in like a half hour.

Got my Pichu, too. It also has a Jolly nature. Same attacks, and it's holding an Everstone. It's at level 30. I'm betting all the GS Pichus are the same.
Still, this is pretty cool. I'll be able to toss him on HeartGold/SoulSilver right away along with a few of my 3rd-tier Platinum team who need leveling up.

Yup. Bruce can basically morph into and out of Hulk form whenver he wants now. Over the years, his strength has grown by leaps and bounds. He was exiled from Earth because of this--he had such immense destructive power that he was causing geologic events or something. So he's got Banner's smarts and Hulk's strength. I think the conflict now is that he's got multiple personalities or something, one of which wants to take over the world...? Does that sound right?

Wow, I actually have a few of those, including GG&E, Ocarina of Time/Master Quest, and MMX Collection. I used to have the Mario Kart w. bonus disk, but I got rid of it because I never played it anymore. The bonus disk had some mildly entertaining demos.

I was sincerely hoping that Effigia would turn out to be a basal ornithischian in rigorous phylogenetic analysis. At last year's SVP conference, there were two, count 'em, TWO poster sessions dealing with that very issue. They both used strict consensus trees and bootstrap values and all that good stuff and BOTH determined that little Effigia is still a derived, non-dinosaurian dinosauromorph.
I was disappointed. I think that was obvious to both authors, but you can't really argue with the numbers.
What's that have to do with Lost? Very little. But for whatever reason, I was reminded of that story.

Wow, $2,495 for a report? That seems hard to swallow.
I'm sure there's supposed to be a dot in there, maybe between the 4 and the 9?

I'm really getting into it. Last night I added Geno to my party. I really, really like talking with NPC's. They almost all have something interesting to say, and the localization is great. I'd forgotten how much fun the battle system is--I especially like how most of Mario's weapons have different "sweet spots," timing-wise. However, it's hard to ignore the fact that, even if you're not grinding, if you ARE good at the timing, most battles are easily won.

Another colorful update!
Using largely the same techniques as described above for Sinosauropteryx, another team looked the four-winged troodontid, Anchiornis, but on a broader scale. By sampling dozens of feather locations on the fossil, the team was able to reconstruct a very detailed, thorough color reconstruction for Anchiornis' feathers. Here's the complete story at National Geographic. Let the page load completely...the 3D rotation is really spectacular!

Theoretically, this type of color assessment can be done on any feathered dinosaur with well-preserved feathers. That's very exciting, and may tell us a lot more about how feathers were used in flightless dinosaurs with modern-type feathers.

I didn't like that show. If you enjoyed it, check out "Undeclarted," which is basically the same show, but in college. I thought it was funnier.

Zombieland: 7/10
I liked that it was a zombie movie that largely lacked zombies. I'm so fracking sick of zombie movies. The cast had a great chemistry, and Bill Murrey was, as always, superb.
What's the name of the girl in this movie (THE OLDER ONE)? Hottie.

All the good lookin' girls die on this show. First the girl who Hurley fell in love with, then the merc girl, then the redhead. All we've got left is the Asian chick (THANKS, NO) and Kate (too much of a "sporty" body). Meanwhile, on the guy side of things, we've got Sawyer and Jack, both of whom I'd happily sleep with.
Homoeroticism FT...W?
(Dear Producers of "Lost:" Please cast a curvy, good lookin' chick on the show. We need one. Badly.)

Ah, the return of Lost. I may well stack a few episodes up on my DVR as well, though I didn't have a problem last season watching week-to-week. As long as I can fast-forward through the commercials, I'm cool.

The manga is surprisingly good, too, and VERY narrative-heavy, as are mangas generally.
