A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

When I'm sitting by the computer, the music I prefer to hear comes from video games and TV programs, including TV newscasts. I would love to hear such music on the radio on a regular basis. iTunes also has a wide array of video-game related podcasts you can listen to in the background, you should c...

No, a hyperbole would be saying something like "Waluigi is Hitler, he's worse than the Spanish Inquisition!" Which, while he's up there, he's not that bad. But he's close.

I can't believe no-one's made a thread regarding music, yet. I guess I'll start it with an official thread. What kind of music do you listen to? I enjoy the classics, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Salieri, Handel and Strauss. As well as more contemporary rock like Pink Floyd, Talking Heads...

That's what i figured, i think it took like 5-6 hours for us to get to State College when I was younger. Still be neat to say you were there and saw it. It's not as great as you think it might be. Really all it is a bunch of dead highways you can walk along that have smoke coming up from the abando...

Happy birthday to Star Ma'am, who turns 27, today!

I'm not a big fan of fan-made videos, most of the time. Unless they're from "professional amateurs" like Cracked or College Humor or the people who made the epic Blair Witch rip-off "Marble Hornets." (which is really just an homage to a fictional character)

Good job, keep up the good work. But you should also think about doing an original thing that you or someone you know wrote yourself and then making a collaborative effort to pull together as a team and make something entirely new-- this is why people hate Hollywood so much right now, because there'...

As I've said before, I'm not really for the whole "entirely CGI" films, and if I were making a new Mario movie, I'd go the opposite route, more of a Chris Nolan route-- take what he did with "Batman" and make it super dark and serious. I'd take the movie we got in '93, make it li...

Irreversible, but not impossible-- nothing's impossible. Improbable, unlikely, but never impossible. Words I will take with me to my grave. Even if it is, who cares? It's SCIENCE FICTION!

If I were doing a modern sequel today, which I'm currently writing a treatment outline for in another thread-- I would do it in the style of "Watchmen," in that I'd set it in 1993 and make it a sort of sci-fi period piece. I'd try to use mostly traditional effects, as I'm violently opposed...

We should post it on our website's main page proclaiming it's a sincere testimony just to piss off the haters.

MODERATOR'S NOTICE: This topic was created from discussions split from the " Super Mario Bros/SatAM: Do Great Minds Think Alike? " thread. Maybe it's just because I'm something of a Nintendo bigot, but personally, I hate Sonic the Hedgehog. I tried playing the games, but I could never get...

I am completely and totally against everything George Lucas has done to his own films and will lash out against anyone who thinks it's a good idea to go back every three years and digitally alter films that were perfectly fine upon their releases in '77, '80 and '83. When a movie is complete, it is ...

I always found Scrappy to be a breath of fresh air on the show. Scooby and Shaggy would try to do their thing (read: run away) but Scrappy would jump in and stop them, forcing them to re-think the situation. For the first time, the show actually had some self-awareness. Scrappy was at least better ...

LBD_Nytetrayn wrote:...and doesn't even show up in the main games.

Yeah, not yet. They said the same thing about Scrappy Doo.they said, "Oh, he'll just show up a few times," or "He's just a reoccurring character now and then," and what did Scrappy Doo do? He ruined Scooby Doo forever.

Maybe it's because I haven't played "Legend of the Seven Stars" in about ten years, but I have no recollection of "Boshi." However, as Yoshis are a race and not a singular entity, I can assume there's one bad apple in the bunch. It still doesn't excuse "Waluigi," who ha...

It's a bit of a drive if you live on the West side or the East side, as it's pretty much in the middle of the state.

Washi/Boshi is from 1996's Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, so he's a character introduced before the modern era of the Super Mario series. Are you talking about that purple Yoshi fellow with the top hat who steals Mallow's thing at the beginning of the story? I thought his name was &quo...

Wow, great find! It's interesting to see that Goomba model and how it's slightly different that the finished product. I really like the Dennis Hopper chair back. The Bob-Omb hasn't aged well, though.

Speaking of which, you still haven't said whether you similarly consider Washi (Boshi in the West) to be such an abomination as well... I don't even know what Washi/Boshi is. I don't really play video-games, not since 2001-2002, anyway. So that's... ten years ago? I think the last game I played all...

I loved the first game, the second was okay. I played the prequel on psp and was glad i only paid 12.00 for it. I'm looking to get Shattered Memories at some point. I think I'm one of the few people who liked the movie even if the ending was a bit vague at first. The creepy thing is in the movie th...

I don't think even Wario likes Waluigi because Waluigi is just some crazy person who dresses similar to him and keeps his facial hair in a familiar style. Even the symbol on Waluigi's hat is uninspired. An upside-down "L?" Isn't that the Greek symbol for woman? So Waluigi is a transvestit...

Redstar wrote:"Segali" really would fit as both the proper and official surname for Mario and Luigi. While I have no problem with "Mario," it's just an issue best left ignored.

If "Segali" was their surname, then they wouldn't be the Mario Bros. They'd be the Segali Bros.

I think between the two hour "Sherlock Holmes II: A Game of Shadows" and the four hour "Once Upon a Time in America," I'm fairly booked. I might watch "Super Mario Bros." in the morning of New Year's Eve, but I usually break out a really big, long epic film at the end o...

Good, get more people to write five star reviews and rate it five stars. Keep it up.

It's just a whole lot easier to say "Director's Cut," or in our case, it might be best to say "Extended Cut."

These are just old internet urban legends written by pop-culture junkies with too much time on their hands (like Quentin Tarantino). But the scariest one I've read is a creepypasta simply titled "Super Mario 64," or sometimes, "The Possessed Super Mario 64 Cartridge." None of it ...

I don't need a "director's cut" of the movie, as I like the movie the way it was. I would not mind a DVD with unused scenes as features separate from the movie, though. They, along with commentary or notes, would give folks an idea of the process of making a movie. Occasionally a "di...

Great letter, Merritt. As long as we keep up with E-mailing Disney/Buena Vista every few months or so they should have no choice but to realize that there's continued interest in some sort of re-release. :) I'll email them with a new letter every twenty-four hours if I have to. I will not rest, I w...

"Hey guys, what should we do for a second player in this game?" "Just trade out Mario's red and blue for green and white, and say it's his brother." You worked with what you could in 1985, as graphics were limited. By 2000 there was no excuse, no freaking excuse whatsoever. Furt...

I never bought into Disney as much as I did other animation studios, like MGM for the original "All Dogs Go to Heaven,"-- a movie that moves me to tears every time I watch it. That's saying something-- nothing makes me cry. And of course more independent studios like Hyperion Pictures who ...

A game with solely Wario is fine. But Waluigi is such an uninspired, horribly thought out character that Shigeru Miyamoto probably came up with during a bad 'shroom trip-- I can tell he's an old hippy and he's been around. That's why I don't hold a character as stupid as Waluigi against the master o...

Pixar only made one movie: Toy Story -- everything after that is just sort of a blur to me. I liked Toy Story , but I prefer conventional hand-drawn animation any day. The whole "Full CGI" thing completely lost its novelty after the first full-length movie done with CGI. I'm sorry, but it'...

You could probably make something completely original based on all of this-- like, just remove the named "Inspector Gadget" and "MAD" from it and rename them and rework it and you might have something you can actually sell as original material. Or I could take this to Cookie Jar...

This video's ending sums up exactly what I think should happen to Waluigi.

You're all insane!

Welcome to the board, Wes! It's always good to have a fellow fan of the greatest movie ever made on the boards!

You're both insane.

I'll have to review it when I get some time, I'm very busy between writing a new book for Eraserhead Press, writing a new fan-sequel to "Super Mario Bros." and updating and maintaining threads in general, but I promise I'll look at it when I can. :mrgreen: Is the book about that project y...
