“I’m sorry, but your mercy is in another Italian plumber!”

This is the funniest thing I read all weekend. There's a little bit of language, but if you've played Super Mario Bros. and know a little bit about politics, it's hilarious.

Happy Winter-een-mas!

Today marks the beginning of Winter-een-mas. To celebrate I thought I'd do some quick retro gaming and played a game of Double Dribble on the emulator. What did I learn? NEVER play Double Dribble with the keyboard. You can't even come close to winning in DD if you can't steal, and you can't steal when you use the keyboard. Add to that the fact that the computer can pass all the way down the court while you can only pass to guys you can see and you have the recipe for a massacre. I just scratched 50 in a game where I usually break 100. I may have to go find a gamepad.
