Urban Vanilla Domes

This entry will go beyond regular geeky into 80's video game geeky. I know, I know, you're already drooling. Some have complained that my entries are too long. I figure a story is not worth telling if its not told well. 

Tonite , funnily enough, the three Blogging Amigos, myself, Underoni and thecarbuncle all wound up at the same party. We thought it would be a normal party, but it wound up being more....shall we say, urban, than our normal parties. There was even, i kid you not, a "freestyle rapping room". So we did what any caucasian geeks would, we snuck into the back room to download geeky video game things.

We of course started our downloading with thecarbuncle's already famous download of Mario Piano Playing Madness .It truly is breathtaking, and one of the urbanite partygoers wandered in upon hearing these almost subconciously familiar childhood video game sounds amidst the overwhelming urban beats of the rest of the house. There's nothing more refreshing than learning that someone shares geeky attributes with you. What follows are some quotes from his commentary, ( not ours ) while listening to this kid play piano.

"Oh no! He's even playing Vanilla Domes !"

"Not only does this fool play the Forest of Illusion music, he plays it again in the fast version when your time is running out!"

Hehe.My brother and I agreed the Vanilla Domes quote was the best thing we've heard all week.In case you've forgotten Mario Bros. 3 was one of the most hyped things of our generation's childhood. This Super Mario Bros. 3 commercial I distinctly remember having a profound effect on me when I was a wee lad.

I leave you with yet one more amazing video link before you drift off to Slumberland. Everyone is MEANT to do something. Some would say Michael Jordan was meant to play basketball, or that Lucas was meant to make STAR WARS, I say that Brett Favre was meant to play football for the Green Bay Packers. The hands behind this video were meant to play Super Mario Bros. 3 .

Don't let the early levels fool you, it gets better as it goes on. Fire Mario is just showing off in world 8.

Adieu.
