New Super Mario Bros Koopa Shell

And finally, a haiku in honor of my favorite Super Mario power-up of the NSMB, and possibly of all time, the Koopa Shell:

Hold down B and run,
Spin and bounce, kill everything.
Can you keep the pace?

It's a little rough, and I had trouble with the last line, but that just means there is room for perfection.

Ode to GameNight(tm)

Gentlemen, I give you my ode to GameNight(tm), in Haiku form:

Fingers are cramping;
Eyes are dry from not blinking;
Now I have to pee.

A New Post

To echo Gabe, I'm not sure what to do with this blog either. So I give you an ode to one of the great PC side-scrollers: Commander Keen.

Pogo stick
Blaster
No other weapons are needed.

Vorticons
Shikadi
All warnings must be heeded.

Teddy bears
Water drops
You must collect them all.

Switches on
Platforms up
There's secrets in the wall.

Flower Power
Babysitter
Bean-with-bacon megarocket.

Billy Blaze
Commander Keen
No one would e'er dare mock it.
