Morning.

Living in Hollywood is such a joy, man. Stepped out for a smoke in between applying for teaching gigs and followed the sound of drums to the nearby community center where a really cool cultural event is happening in the parking lot, lots of neighbors dancing

Every day something exciting

this is the most beautiful anyone’s ever looked

could be us

i don’t believe in mario 64. it’s a myth

Thank you to all who came to the Donkey Kong Country Singalong Hour Panel I hosted at #MAGFest last night! Everyone was so committed to celebrating this goofy old cartoon and fandom. Immaculate vibes. ❤️

The Console Wars, As Told By '90s Nintendo And Sega Advertisements 'The way you come to understand [anything] inside and out is by seeing how it evolved over time'

My co-author Dr. Megan Condis and I gathered nearly 3,000 print ads from the console wars era to analyze whether the popular narrative that "Sega was for rad teens and Nintendo was for babies" actually holds up.

The results paint a slightly more nuanced picture.

Read about it on @aftermath.site!

I know I grew up with them but I really love the Super Mario Advance series. Like it’s basically just ports but they’re very good ones. Plus it’s on ya Gameboy. Don’t ya love ya Gameboy?

Transcript: Gotta have game. People don't remember bits and bytes. They remember games. So it's a good thing this little guy is on our side. He's the most recognized video game character in the world. And his spirit has helped us spawn a slew of great games. He is the standard. The bar. The ideal we try to surpass with every game we make. Because systems and technology come and go. But a great game lives forever. Source: pietriots.com/2013/02/23/a-message-from-nintendo-gotta-have-game, grailed.com/listings/28438307

In 2023, I posted about a bizarre Dolce & Gabbana shirt featuring Mario standing in a beam of light alongside text praising him. I have tracked down the source of the image, which was a splash page in the E3 2000 brochure. Now the venerated Mario can be seen in high quality.

I remember when the original ad came out, I had an emotional breakdown over it

I'm so glad that the majority of people are on the "mmm slurp it up!" end of it
