Super Mario Bros. Deluxe includes a calendar that goes all the way to the year 3000. Ironically, this reaches much further than typical modern computer and smartphone calendars. As such, even now Super Mario Bros. Deluxe remains a good option to keep track of far future dates.

My recent efforts to write an Analogue 3D review were derailed by the realization that the system's finer points require a better grasp of technology than I feel comfortable pretending to possess. The script gradually evolved into a LONG-overdue Nintendo 64 system retrospective: youtu.be/D5kJUofVGSA

This is incredibly effective wrestling promotion that looks like it could double as a video from a Matador band that plays once on 120 Minutes

Feel free to keep sending this to me but don’t worry: Burke and I have talked. My wife and I have talked. My therapist and I have talked. Look, I can’t have these in my house. I don’t know how much storage units cost. I don’t know if I can handle management of this in Philly. BUT I’M WORKING ON IT.

I was really impressed the winter hat in the Chiefs movie was accurate. Teams really did sell the same exact hat, though I don’t know if they were magic like in the film.

I was thinking of getting into it, but I couldn’t find the right wording and moved on (for once). Actually your reply is worded perfectly! Ah well.

But, yes, when I first started searching I was pretty confused. It took me a few minutes to figure out when this PA company even moved into NY.

The data on coaches challenges I’m not sure how I feel about the addition of coaches challenges this season.

I have a Phillies blunts t-shirt from like 15 years ago. Someone at Urban Outfitters must‘ve gotten very confused, as it has an official MLB license.

It is kinda weird the Phillies are owned by a family that made its fortune selling blunts, but it’s Black & Mild brand and not Phillies.
