So I Got a New Hat...

  Back when Nintendo announced the Platinum rewards for Club Nintendo members, I was offered either a Mario hat or what amounted to a Punch-Out!! demo. I chose the former. Last week, I recieved a simple cardboard box in the mail for NOA (Nintendo of America). Realizing the significance of the parcel, I cut it open only to find a wonderful red hat contained within.    


A note suggested that the hat was not machine-washable, and that all dirt should be cleaned out with a wet rag. It is also, and this is strange, not meant to be worn as an actual hat. Screw that noise! I changed my T-shirt for these pictures, but you should know that the pants were already on.

The shirt could've been a Yellow Cape.

The pants could've been Yoshi Green.

I want those pants.

I chose the WiiWare game because you can always buy the Mario hat on eBay or something, the only way to get the game is from Nintendo. I just got an e-mail saying I have until June 30, 2010 to download it.

I thought for sure that this thread was somehow going to be about this comic.



I miss when Penny Arcade used to be funny.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

I still think it is. My friend Marcus and I often read it together, out loud. He's Gabe and I'm Tycho. Brings a whole new level of hilarity to the new and old comics.

He decided to Letterman me instead of just giving into my demands behind the scenes.
I'll find another way.
