About Me
Hey there. So this is the bio of myself, Kazooaloo, right? Well, here goes... I guess.

I've been a gamer for most of my life, but I also like social time. As far as hardcore gaming goes, forget it. I'm the last to enter a battle, and usually the first that dies. However I have learned the trick of playing with people that are worse than you just to make yourself feel better.

I like writing game reviews, and on occassion post them here on Destructoid. The way I write blog posts or reviews is if I was talking to someone in person. I'm usually the kind of person who uses sarcasm and humor profoundly. But it is also hard to convey sarcasm when someone's reading text and not listening to someone talk. I also like voice acting, regardless of what the content is. I'm also a self-taught artist who, in my opinion, needs a lot of work at it. Although a lot of people have liked my Rabbids drawings. I'm also working on getting my comic, Lined Paper Syndrome, back up and running.

Take care and enjoy.

Remember the day when you had your Gamecube? Wasn't that a fun experience? Now you've either moved on to the Wii... or other gaming device. Well yesterday was a very interesting experience for me. Why's that? Well...

Remember the Nintendo Gamecube Broadband Adapter? Nintendo sold this seperatly so that you could hook your Gamecube to the internet. However the only internet enabled game that I remember was Phantasy Star Online. But the Broadband adapter had another use, LAN parties.

I came into my college gameroom the other day to see a group of people attaching Broadband adapters to the school's Gamecubes and attaching them to a router. Curious I went over to see what the comotion was about, seeming I wanted to use one of them for Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life.

The great students decided to hook up all four Gamecubes for one giant Mario Kart: Double Dash LAN Party. When an opportunity like this comes along you do not go, "Well tough, I want to play." Instead the answer is, "Well hell, sign me up."

Let's just say I kicked some serious behind. Our combination, Mario as the driver, Diddy Kong throwing items. There was not one inch of the road that wasn't covered with a banana peel of some kind. Needless to say, Mario Kart LAN Parties are fun.

But then I have to go onto my second topic which made the day really interesting. I live in Baltimore, MD and I commute to college every day. As I was stuck on I-95 (isn't rush hour fun), my sister spotted a van far down the road. But it wasn't just any van, it was a van with Mario on it. That's right, take a look for yourself (I did remove the phone number)




Yup, D&R Mechanical in the Baltimore area has decided to take Mario, give him Luigi's shirt, and slap him on their vans. Isn't this illegal? Someone please tell me that this is. Mario will always remain a plumber not a mechanic, rulling out him being a carpenter, a referee, into sports, illegeal racing, yeah the list could go on.

I just thought this was funny and are awaiting the lawsuit that could come about.

That is all.

Only problem with Mario Kart LAN is, well I heard you can't pick your character...I could be wrong but that is what I heard. I actually never played MK:DD, was it that fabulous?

I played Mario Kart LAN in my college suite all the time :)

We had a HUGE screen TV with Picture in Picture, so my roommate and I, who both owned Gamecubes with the Broadband adapter (yes, we played Phantasy Star Online), would invite 6 of our friends and play 4 people per Cube. We even played drinking games along with the karting :)

I miss college.....:-P

I've never done a lan with it but MM:DD is awesome.

As for the legality of that truck, I think it is fine. If they took that mario rip off and made a video game with it, then nintendo would have a problem. As it is, until Nintendo gets into the plumbing business, I doubt they will care.

Yeah, I hope they keep LAN in Mario Kart Wii because I probably won't play online seeing how MK DS's online was.

@liquidninja

The Wii doesn't have any ports to actually do LAN... So, that's pretty unlikely.

Unless it's possible to do it wirelessly.

@Hao They could do it wirelessly or if you have the Lan Adapter by Datel, you can use that. It's just a USB attachment that allows you to plug in an ethernet for wired internet. So one of two ways I guess.
