Zelda Animated Comic

This looks very promising!
A fan is taking a manga based on my favorite Zelda game (A Link To The Past) and animating it.

RP this Saturday?

Hey guys, are we up for more role playing this Saturday? I think I've got a good portion of the next session mapped out, and I'm working on putting together a little bit more information to help you guys with your characters. Shall we give it a try? What does the kids situation look like? I should have my older two.

Game Exchange!

I feel like a nincompoop because the Olympic game I have can be exchanged as much as possible before it due (28th). I know things are different during this time at GN but any Wii game we want!!! So give me a title and I can get it!

Change of Venue

Hey guys, a couple of really quick things:
1) Games will be at our place this week. Jessica will be out of town for the weekend, so I'll be taking on all four kids, which means that we need to be at our place so that the twins can finish their naps.
2) Gabe, will you be able to leave your kids at home? I know Jess and Em aren't getting together this weekend. If your kids stay home then things will be manageable, especially if my mom ends up taking the two older kids for a couple of hours.

Other than that, things should proceed fairly normally. Gabe, if you want to bring pizza again, I at least would be down with that. And I think we'll be all set to proceed with some role playing goodness at the normal time!

The big One Zero Zero!!!

Okay, so the fact that this is our 100th post really has nothing to do with anything.

Is everyone set and ready for some role playing this week? I think I have all of the stuff ready that we need to jump in to Spirit of the Century.

Josh, I'm assuming you still have Mario/Sonic:Winter Olympics? Maybe we should devote the first hour to that, and then spend the last couple of hours getting into the adventure?

Any objections?

Winter Games?


Since this coming Saturday will be our last VG night before Lent, I was wondering since it's Olympic season, would you guys be interested is renting Sonic and Mario at the Winter Olympic Games?

Lenten 'Fast'?

Hey guys, Lent is less than a week away, so this Saturday is our last VG before Lent. Anyone else interested in doing another VG fast like we did a few years ago? I had a couple of thoughts for how to spend Saturday evenings instead:
  • Board Games - A couple of you have asked about doing more board gaming, and this would be a decent time to do some of that.
  • Role Playing - This might encourage me to get off my mental duff and get my adventure put together to run you guys through.
  • Running around - as the daylight gets longer we could even do something extraordinary like taking the kids (at least the ambulatory ones) to the park and playing disc golf or something, and then coming back after an hour or so to crash and hang out.
  • Get drunk - not one of my better ideas, but if we get desperate we could always go the route of debauchery!


Any other thoughts about how to spend Lent as a group? If we wanted to be extra untraditional, we could even invite the girls to hang out with us on Saturday nights while we're doing board games/park/whatever (probably not the getting drunk one tho). Anyone not at all interested in giving up the veegee this Lent? I'd say that if one person isn't on board we should just skip it this year.

Get The Noid?


Domino's Pizza claims that now their pies are actually good. I've been morbidly curious and I was wondering if we can get at least one pizza for GN. What do you guys think?

Axe Cop

Speaking of great art ...

My friend Ethan Nicolle, the comic book artist who created Chumble Spuzz, has a new online comic series called Axe Cop.
Unlike his past comics, Axe Cop is not his creation because it all came from the mind of his kid brother. It's a really fun series because you have Ethan's great drawings telling stories that follow the story logic of a 5 year old boy. I love it and apparently it's getting a lot of attention in the online media! Check it out!

Oh, and see if you can find the Piranha Plant, Puffer Fish, and Coins.

Those Darn Kids - The Koopalings

I keep talking about the mini bosses in our new Super Mario game but I can never remember there names. Well here ya go!



The Koopalings are Bowser's 7 kids. Each one was sent out to guard the various lands of Mushroom World, and would use their Airship Fortresses to do so. After they were defeated the first time, Bowser sent them out to guard his castles in Dinosour World. Their latest appearance is in the New Super Mario Bros.
The Koopalings are: Larry Koopa (AKA Cheatsy) is the youngest, but his innocent appearance is merely a facade for his sneaky nature. He loves conning people and cheating. Lemmy and Iggy Koopa (AKA Hip and Hop) are twins, and they both sport the same colourful hairdo. Iggy is the geek of the family, and likes reading books and studying. This also makes him the weakest. Lemmy is the clown of the family, and loves balancing about on his favourite ball all the time. Morton Koopa Jr. (AKA Bigmouth) is a blabbermotuh, and loves talking too much. He's also considered a grouch. Roy Koopa (AKA Bully) is a real tough guy, and loves to beat up his siblings, especially Iggy. Wend O. Koopa (AKA Kootie Pie) is a spoiled brat, and always has to have her way. If she does't get what she wants, she starts screaming and throwing tantrums. Finally, Ludwig von Koopa (AKA Kooky) is the oldest, and also the smartest. He loves inventing and composing music, and is Bowser's favourite kid, at least until Bowser Jr. was born, but Bowser Jr. is not considered a Koopaling.

And then there's this guy, Kamek the Magikoopa.

Roll call?

So, who is here for tonight? I know most of us were out of town for Christmas, but I'm planning on being there with the Wii for games tonight.
