A Freudian Look At the Super Mario Brothers

Posted by HP on May 10, 2010

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.

Posted by ZSN on October 17, 2007

The Games We Play Part II

Posted by HP on August 22, 2007

We all play stupid little games. As we see in the first episode of My Name Is Earl, Earl had "beer tag," in which Earl and a friend would peg each other with full cans of beer throughout the day. The staff from the movie Waiting… had that damn game where you show someone your [...]

The Games We Play Part I

Posted by HP on August 15, 2007

In a time when Xbox Live is bringing new opponents from all over the world to our TV screens and we are waving our arms with the Wii, I find that the games that bring the most amusement to my life are free. We all have little games that we play with our friends, whether [...]
