Luigi Highlights

luigiIn honor of St. Patrick’s Day, and the upcoming release of a certain game next week, I’m going to write a little tribute blog to one of video gaming’s most famous green-clad heroes: Luigi!  I’m not going to take a look at EVERY game Luigi’s been in, just the ones I feel are most important.  At one time, Luigi was originally my favorite Mario character.  That is, until Super Mario Kart came along and I realized how awesome Toad was.  But Luigi is still tops in my book, way cooler than Mario anyway.  Anyway, let’s take a look at some of Luigi’s highlights in gaming.

Angry Birds Easter Egg Decorating Kit

ANGRYFRONTHappy Easter, everyone! (It’s at the end of March) Just wanted to share something I found at the store (Target), that’s both Easter and video game related.

Happy iBirthday, Dr. Seuss!

seuss bookshelfYes, it’s the birthday of that grand old champion of fun, quirky, easy to read children’s literature: Dr. Seuss.

Reader Request: Cary’s Favorite RPG Characters

terradiconI was running out of blog ideas and someone suggested that I list my favorite RPG characters. Now I know I’ve written blogs about my favorite Final Fantasy and Tales characters, but I haven’t listed all of them at once plus characters from other RPGs that I enjoy. So since I liked that reader’s idea, here’s a list of my favorite RPG characters.
