I am considered an expert on Nintendo and Nintendo based trivia. I have beaten every Mario game, from Super Mario Bros to Mario & Luigi 2: Partners in Time. I am also considered an amateur expert in psychology – I once took a psychology class as a requirement in college back in 2003 or 2004. This makes me beyond qualified to metaphorically dissect and literally over-analyze the Super Mario Brothers.

Anybody who has ever used the Internet knows that it is loaded with spam, that most hated of viral e-mails. They’re full of crazy scams – sometimes to infect your computer, sometimes to take your money from you. I realize this may come as a shock to many of you out there in Internet Reader Land (“Home of the Fighting Low IQ Points!â„¢”), but before the ‘net, people got junk mail and scams through the regular mail (shock!).

When I graduated from college a few years ago, I did not have many possessions. I owned a small television and a few game consoles. I owned my PC and a 25lb monitor. I also owned a rickety twin bed, but little else in the way of furnishing. It was late ’06 when Tom and I moved out to Chelsea, MA. To congratulate me on my first bachelor pad, my cousin Neil gave me a gift. Back when he was starting out as a bachelor he was given a lamp. A very special lamp. And now he is passing this very special lamp down to me. It is a Horse Head lamp.

It is 1:00 – lunch time. I turn off the fan I leave on my desk and grab my essentials; a sandwich, my mp3 player, my cellphone. If I were any more on autopilot right now my brain would have literally vacated my skull, leaving behind a little sign that reads “On Holiday,” in bold Papyrus.

It was on February 27th, 2006 that I would receive an email correspondence from a kindly Nigerian man named Donald Peters. Times were far simple back then, as I was just a senior in college, awaiting to be released into that big, bad world. When I saw Donald’s email my young and still exuberant eyes widened! Could it be? One of God’s Creatures was asking me for help? How could I say no? I couldn’t, that’s how! I drafted an email to Mr. Donald Peters that would affirm his faith in Mankind.

(I assume Tom had intended this to be posted in June 2009.) So it’s finally June. Here at ZSN, that means adding ice to the Scotches that are older than us, and switching from snow boots to sandals (sneakers are okay, but only if there will be sneaking involved). It also means that we’re entering [...]

I was walking past the Convention Center over by Mass Ave and I noticed a sign in front of it. It read:
“Boston 6th Annual ZineCon Fest.
At Kinkos, turn left at Hynes Convention Center (walk approx. 230 feet.)”

After I see a movie, I have a tradition of going to IMDb and looking for any neat trivia about what I just saw. I try to stick to the trivia itself, because if you venture too far down on the page you will find the IMDb message boards. The IMDb message boards are a vast waste land. Want to see what I mean?
