Online Super Mario Bros.

Just discovered this incredible new game, in which you can play Super Mario Bros. online. But that's not all - you can play it as any one of six different characters: Mario himself, Link from Zelda, Bill R. from Contra, Simon Belmont from Castlevania, Mega Man, or Samus from Metroid. Video game geeks or people just nostalgiac about the late 80s will, quite simply, freak the fuck out playing this. Play here.

You're welcome.

New Game: Bouncing Balls

My friend Jack directed me to this new game called Bouncing Balls, which caused me to waste pretty much my entire morning (which admittedly only started at about 10:30). Basically you are shooting a ball into a bunch of other balls, and the ones you hit disappear, and you're trying to get rid of all the red ones.

Notice that I am at level 21 already because I am awesome. Actually there are things that happen that I don't really understand - I'm not sure what hitting the green balls actually does (something good though), and sometimes whole groups of balls disappear and I'm not sure how to get that to happen. But still, very fun. Play here.
