About Me
About

One day, long ago, my father decided to bring home a NES. I was too little to read, but lo: a gamer was born. I've been playing ever since. I like games with great stories, but having said that I am not an "RPG person" - though I do like some RPGs. I enjoy (action/)adventure games the most, so everything Zelda = good, and games like Ico and Another World fill me with glee, as do text-based games and point-and-click adventures.

I am terrible at FPS games so I don't play them as often, but thoroughly enjoy story-based games from that perspective (Bioshock!) and certain shooters do entertain me (Team Fortress!). I played an insane amount of Goldeneye back in the N64 days.

Oh yeah: the name is Pixel Blue. Because I like pixel art. And the color blue.

'Twas the Night Before Smash Bros.
Pixel Blue | 8:30 PM on 03.08.2008 9 comments


I think this has probably been done before, but ... tough shit.

'Twas the Night Before Smash Bros.

'Twas the night before Smash Bros, and all through the night
All gamers collectively itched for a fight
Pre-order receipts were all gathered with care
In hopes that a copy for each would be there
The British wept hard, and some Yanks hung their heads
While visions of Mega Man danced in their heads
But most of the gamers were quick out the door
Elated, excited, joy literally in-store

Away to the mall we all flew in a flash
And stood long in line, one for credit or cash
When what, to my wondering eyes, finally came
But a smiling young man who was holding my game!
There's Zelda, and Bowser, Star Fox and Luigi!
There's Ness, Marth, and Sonic, there's Gannon and Yoshi!
To the front of the line, and then out with our haul
Let's dash away, dash away, dash to play Brawl!

But we shouted out loud, as we drove out of sight
Happy Brawl Day to all, and to all a good fight!

* Apologies to Clement Clarke Moore.

Since we're using Chirstmas as an analogy here, I guess I'm the typical Jewish kid who is not phased and thinks tomorrow is just a typical Sunday.

Expertly crafted. I might change the Luigi/Yoshi couplet to something that flows a little better, but that's just straining at gnats.
