FYI

Hey everyone:

in case you're wondering what I've been up to, I'll have a new blog up soon. It'll be more focused on artwork and I'll show off things I've been working on and talk about different things that inspire me and whatnot. 

As for this blog, i probably will not be updating it. I'll still talk about video games occasionally on my new blog, but there are plenty of sites around for news, great reviews, and insight. For now, I've said the things I want to say and I'd rather not regurgitate what other sites are saying. For Nintendo stuff, be sure to check out my links in the panel on the right. 

Stay tuned! Thanks everybody!

Barina Boxkid

My best bud just started his blog, def check out.

Hey everyone, just wanted to give some props to muh bud Barina, who I've spoken of several times on da hallowed halls of dese pages. Barina just started a blog at boxlande.blogspot.com , so please check it out. Have some laughs, have fun, and be good. He's irreverent but it's top notch stuff. Check in with him and leave him nice comments as he builds up a backlog of postings. 

For those that don't know him, I won't say much except to say that Barina is my best friend and he lives across the street from me. We have somewhat similar senses of humor and share a couple interests. 

What's your take?

Time Readers Vote Zelda Creator Most Influential of '08

Shigeru Miyamoto wins the popular vote in a landslide. Stephen Colbert gets third place, too!

 Time readers voted Shigeru Miyamoto, famed Nintendo designer, as the most influential person of 2008. It's honestly a little ridiculous, but I imagine it can be traced back to the popularity of Wii Sports and the Wii itself. Check out the results at Time's website here.

To Samm: I haven't played Mario Kart Wii yet, but reviews have been really positive. It's supposed to be really good and a lot of fun. Check it out and let me know what you think because I'll probably end up getting it!

Who do you think was the most influential person this past year, for better or worse?
