HOLY FUDGE

I guess I'm playing the game again once I finish this play through. 

Although, I have no idea why I'd want to give up my precious machine gun--it's flipping awesome.

EDIT:  After thinking about it for a while, I'm stumped--how is one supposed to get to the dog in the dark room without the machine gun?

We've done that before; we've also swapped each other's long-standing avatars.  Everything old is new again.

How many DSi XL screens can you fit in there?  I hear they're 93% bigger than DS screens.

Not a bad theory, actually.  If you Google "super mario bros 3 wii" the page on Nintendo's site where you can buy the game is the first option on the list.

That's the one!  Why--is there a sadder one?

Exactly, I have 200 points sitting in my account and I don't feel like buying 1000 points if I only want a 500 point game.

What.  The.  Hell.

Buy 1,000 points and get yourself Cave Story!

I beat the game last night--at least I did if you count getting the horribly sad ending.  Gonna go back and get a better one now. 

I also managed to completely freeze the game, which forced me to turn off my Wii by holding the power button down for several seconds--haven't had to do that in a while. 

I actually had the hardest time trying to figure out how to get to the puppy in the dark house.  Stupid, stupid sand croc.

I had the same problem--it took me forever to figure out how to get to it.  I kept looking for a hidden path.  I didn't realize you could use your machine gun to get to propel yourself upwards.  Brilliant!

sometimes you are rewarded for not immediately grabbing an item or immediately upgrading an existing one.

I have no idea what you're talking about.  Please explain!

SMB3 is an odd choice not because it's popular but because it's 500 points, which means when you buy 1,000 points online you have 500 left over after buying it.  It's pretty easy to spend 500 points on something.

A game with an odd price point--say 600 of 1,200 points would be better.  I've seen a number of people skip over a 1,200 point title not because it was too expensive but because they didn't know what they'd do with the extra 800 points they'd be forced to buy.

Anyways, Ogre Battle 64 sure came out of nowhere. Wow.

The game was released in Europe last week.  Who didn't see this coming?

Gamestop has 'em used for $5 - unfortunately, my GS doesn't have one in stock right now.

The site says that one of mine has one.

Did you get the one that runs across the main section of the floor?

I seem to remember one being by the warehouse door all the way on the right side--he's either right in front of the door or he might be hidden in the upper section on the left side of the room (run past the door and then use the two floating platforms to get to the second floor--there are a couple blocks up above that you can break).

Oh hey, when you said you found the one in the treasure chest, I assume you meant the one in the chest that's hidden in a section of wall before you get to the old woman's house.  There's another hidden path on the right side of the vertical shaft leading down to the woman's house.

This might be obvious, but have you tried cleaning the port on the bottom of your Wii remote with alcohol and a Q-tip?  It's possible that it's there's just a bit of dirt/grime in there that's messing with the connection.  If you have a can of compressed air blow it in there to see if anything (like dust) comes out.

You could stop pooping; this way anything you eat will result in a weight gain.  Stop wastefully expelling matter from your body!

Now I can't find the last puppy. And yes, I already found the one in the treasure chest. The errand-running gets a little old in this game.

Did you get the one hidden in the dark room?  You get there through a hidden hole (marked by a dog paw) in the ceiling in the long corridor leading towards to the warehouse (towards the beginning of the area).

You can get a refurbed power cable on from Nintendo for $10--only $4 more than you paid for the system!

also to note, the moderate button pops up on your birthday, but doesn't allow you to access the moderator panel.

...... So we got 3 seats left on the bus to Pixlbit, who's comin?

There's only 1 seat left.

I think most of us know thatguy is now writing for PixlBit.  But now it seems Mop it up has joined in on the fad!

If this doesn't get PixlBit a little bit of GoNintendo love I don't know what will.

You could maybe work out.  Muscle weight is better than fat weight.  Just saying.
