This week we discussed things of merriment. Okay it’s the same old crap but it’s still fun. Topics include mail from a new and a veteran listener, podcast naughtiness levels, Mother 3, and the Citizen Kane of gaming. Also spambot love. Huzzahs all around.

Oh and Walrus King didn’t announce his song for the song break this week so it’s a mystery. I couldn’t jimmy his announcement in without breaking the flow of the episode so I left it out. Helps when you’re the one with the scissors bitch.

OH! And here’s the link for the fan translation for Mother 3. They did a really good on it and Starmen.net is a great site in general for all your Earthbound needs.

As promised here is the short film Leap of Faith. I made this for a production class about a year and a half ago. And yes, that is the one and only Osiris as the lead. Sir Michael and I also make cameos mid way through. While I’m usually never really happy with my work, I really enjoyed how this one turned out. When I show this short to gamers they tell me how much they liked the humor because they could relate to the story. You won’t be surprised to hear that this short was based on actual events. Hope you like it!

A while back I choose  “Do the Mario!” for my monthly segment “So Bad It’s Good.” Just thought I’d let you all know that the man who sang that song has sadly passed away.

His name was ‘Captian’ Lou Albano and he was technically the first voice for Mario. After leaving proffesional wrestling, he became Mario on the Super Mario Bros Super Show. The guy even grew out a real handlebar mustache for the role!

Lou Albano passed away yesterday at age 76 of natural causes. Video gaming has lost one of it’s most entertaining and beloved icons.
