If you love Mario like the other millions of people roaming this planet, try not to weep while you watch this “uplifting” fan-made Mario tribute. It’s not that I’ll think any less of you as a person if water starts to leak out of your eyes — I for one had a hard enough time holding back the tears — but the problem is you’ll realize that you’re crying for a pixelated plumper. Stuff like that can only be unsafe psychologically because you start to question your own self worth. So I urge you, please watch to be entertained and don’t do anything stupid…
Batman, otherwise known as Christian Bale,spoke about his obsession with video games when he was growing up. Ricky Lo of philstar.com, commented how some people are comparing his latest movie Terminator: Salvation, to an epic video game. Lo, than proceed to asked Bale if he had ever played video games in his younger days.
“I played video games in my entire growing-up years. One of my favorites is Super Mario. I wouldn’t sleep until I finished the game, you know.”
Like I always said, it is cool when a big name celebrity admits that they play or played video games. It shows this newest form of entertainment media is here to stay.
I would also like to mention that Christian Bale was caught by the gossip site TMZ, playing an arcade machine. Which I think is a much better PR move on his part, than swearing up and down on a fellow film crew member.
DeviantART member Orioto has created what I think could be the greatest picture I’ve ever seen that was made from someone outside the gaming industry. The painting is a “re-imagining of what the Mario world is like. And it’s more beautiful than anything I would have thought up.
Ladies and Gentlemen; I’m calling this the Mona Lisa of video game art! I would love to own a print of this and hang it up on my wall.
