We've Got a Lot of Bawls

I'm quite a fan of ray surfing. Blooper surfing was good too, but the rumble gives ray surfing a significant edge. It's true OSK had some issues, but now we know what a game over looks like (not very impressive, kind of a let down) but he got there eventually. Other then that, which really wasn't even very bad, we've been slogging along at a good pace. Maybe not really fast, but I think that stars take longer in galaxy then we're used to. Now, first bowser world. Oooooh, armored goombas. And baby bowser... ugh. Although I gotta give him some props for a sick robot here. I think I'm gonna enjoy blowing it up XD

Ships get dolphin escorts, mario gets star bits.

I like the next dome's first galaxy, pretty cool setup. But uh... well I don't really have much else to say at the moment. Bawls have been pulled out of their storage (this happens whenever the night gets old enough, we get a little crazy) so expect some strange stuff from now on. Jeez, I actually really like bawls. Tried some of j_vert's bawls, and they were quite good. Smooth, lightly flavored... I can't quite place the flavor, I think I'll have to try some more.

OSK's short term memory is apparently crap when it comes to mario. Then again, normally it's pretty good, so maybe our bawls are distracting him. Can't blame the man, bawls are good at keeping him up, and ours are no exception, just juicy enough, a little sticky... what?

A Snack of Cosmic Proportions

So OSK is about to face a battle fleet. Not really sure what that entails, but I'm hoping for some sick aerial combat, maybe some alien fighter bombers. Probably not gonna be it, but I think it's gonna be sick anyway. Here we go.

Wow... it's more like he's boarding the enemy craft, and he's pwning with some sick cocoanut rebounding moves. Giant lava and muck creature? Gone like the wind.


So, what's with the beesuit? I mean, I enjoy walking along the furry hindside of a giant bee queen as much as the next guy, but cmon. Ahh, whatever, it's just my beeness.

So this is ending up a little too scrambled, so let's see... udalale udalale, si see sea hey. Oh, and by the way: rushian. Shades! PUT ON YOUR SHADES! Whew. Ok, now spin! sweet.
Oh great. Fuzzy ass again. *sigh*

Even better. OSK died (black holes must hurt) and now we have to go through a fourth round of pleasing the queen bee. Mmmmm. At least we'll get a spaceship at some point.

Well, five (5) stars down. Good progress, I suppose. Much left to do, much left to look forward to. Another... wait... wiggler? It IS you! Dude, it's been ages, I mean, ever since tall tall mountain we've been just great friends, and I know we had some problems on that beach place, but that's behind us, and now, honeyhive galaxy? Seems nice, I guess, if you don't mind the bees. And hey, the family looks great too. Y'know, the wedding invitation probably just got lost in the mail, but I really would've loved to be there.

Speaking of throwbacks, we've got another windmill here. It's nice, quaint really.

The Boy is Back

Well, here we are, at the brink of a very good thing. I gotta say, Mario's gone for quite the makeover. Toads carry spears, the village gets wasted at the beginning, but just a few minutes later you're playing hide-and-go-seek with bunnies through fields of grass and flowers.
... riiight. They totally weren't on 'shrooms when they made this.

They kept some things the same though. Peach is still a whore (although less subtle now), she's putting out for mario, bowser is owning n00bs with cool technology (flying ships this time). Oh, and we're listening to kick ass music instead of the actual game sounds. Trust me, way better this way. Plus, with subtitles, we really don't miss anything important.

Some stuff done very well so far. Atmosphere on the first little world. They don't always do it, but the other worlds are either artificial or destroyed husks around a black hole... come to think of it, that probably isn't possible. Whatever, it works.
Also, not sure how I feel about the "star bits" and how you collect them, but at least it they're using the wiimote.

Ok, so the star goddess keeps referring to peach as our "special one". Honey, you can be my special one any time, that peach girl? Forget about her, totally not important to me at all. Honestly, I was getting sick of her anyway. On a completely different topic, do you like to bake?

and so it Ends.

I just got shine number 114, last shine of the run. The last 6 are blue coin shines, and we don't feel like running around all the levels like chickens with their heads cut off searching for them, so we'll come back later for those. I gotta say, 114 shines in 7 days is none too shabby on it's own. I was pretty worried about the red coin chucksters, but it only took 3 or 4 tries, so I guess it kinda got itself a little owned there. Good stuff.

Wow, we've always said that you really can't miss with that dude but... OSK did this: I'm a chuckster! ... void.

Hes got it. Blues traded in , and the grand total is... 114 shines.

And so it Ends.

Full Circle

And here we find ourselves, back in Bianco Hills, where it all began (if you ignore the airstrip and delfino plaza). Hundred coins here is rumored to be the nastiest, but we'll take it down, just like everything else we've owned tonight... by which I mean this afternoon, evening, and night.

OSK kinda failed a little at the jump-spin-water deal, but he got there.

Yep, he just supersoaked a 'ho for cash. Sweet. Oh yeah, and it's a dude. Forgot to mention that.

Wait a minute... we've had so many issues with yoshi's dying in water, but they can walk a stream or through sprinklers without a problem... riiiight. By the way, yoshi pwns bees. Like no other.

Ughhh... Irving Berlin.

Y'know, this morning we were having some issues, pretty slow going. Slogging through snow, one could say. But we've made quite the comeback, getting all those tougher shines that were giving us trouble, and now, now Bianco Hills hundred coins lies in ruins before our feet. We'll basically in ruins. OSK didn't watch where the shine went when he got the hundreth coin... so now he's searching the level for it. Last time that happened (noki bay) he drowned before he found it. Nice man, nice.

Anyway, only the secret red coins in pianta stand between us and utter domination. And some blue coins (only 58), but that's not as big a concern.

And so this marathon ends, with the final end in sight. There it is!

Poem this

Mario poetry = worst idea ever.

Anyway, we're rapidly running out of shines to get. I'm thinking maybe one more session, and we'll have it all for sure. But uh, yeah, that's basically all I've got to say about that. Wasume wai... wait... fuck you I won't do what you tell me! Wasoomae why!!

So we have 4 hundred coin shines and 2 secret shines left, plus 68 blue coins. That's it. And we started this how long ago? 5 days.

This is...
a) a tasty burger
b) for you
c) a post that's exemplifies the live blogger's creed: "quantity, not quality"

... then again I really shouldn't joke about that, it's a serious problem in our society.

OSK is apparently "going senile already." Once again, his words not mine. *sigh*

We're the renegades of funk. He's a chuckster. Did you know that? He may be small, but he never gives up. Sounds way to disney to me...

A hundred is a lot of coins. Like a LOT. grr.

Gold birds are shines, blue birds are blue coins, red birds are red coins, seagulls are annoying, and green birds are... gold coins? Huh?

100 Shines

100 shines, the hundreth being 100 coins. Oh yeah (Cool-aid guy style).
