Cranks, Lunatics and Anti Crank Sites; The Land Where Web Design Died

Posted Yesterday at 10:36 AM by cheat-master30 (The DS Ultimate Blog)

When it comes to website design online, it has been noted that usually three sources provide the worst stylings:

1. Lunatics, Conspiracy Theorists and Religious Fundamentalists

2. Educational/Research sites

3. Artistic sites made in Flash

This article, is about the first two. Yes, it's a very clear departure from the previous articles about Nintendo, which I will be revisiting after this one, but after reading a few websites by and about the standard...

New Super Mario Bros Wii... My Final Impressions

Posted 19th November 2009 at 06:05 PM by cheat-master30 (The DS Ultimate Blog)

Tags mario, new super mario bros wii

With the time of my purchase of this game literally a single day away, I am growing more and more excited about this game's very promising return to the classic Mario series. However, like all games, there are still a few (thankfully minor things) that could be improved... so keep this as my final verdict until I buy the game tomorrow.

First things first, I adore the graphics and music. Okay, I don't quite love the former as much as the latter, being that it's the same old style of...

In Which You'd Never Know these were Mario Games

Posted 18th November 2009 at 11:08 PM by cheat-master30 (The DS Ultimate Blog)

Tags interesting descriptions, mario

It's been done before, but can you recognise any of the following games from the deliberately unclear descriptions I conjure up? Note how they're a lot darker than people assume the games that they describe are from first appearances, which is part of the idea.

In a land torn apart by constant war and famine, a once unknown hero comes and defeats the nigh unstoppable demon king that has ravaged the lands. Exploring vast plains, caverns and dreary forts, he defeats endless hoardes...

On Why Mario is Not a Communist

Posted 15th November 2009 at 07:27 PM by cheat-master30 (The DS Ultimate Blog)

Tags mario, not a communist

With Nintenzone already having one member answering this guy back, and this loon drawing ridiculous political comparisons between the Mario series and communism, I thought it was ripe time for me to end this once and for all. In this article, with the backing of the entire DS Ultimate site and my infinite knowledge of Mario games, I will crush flat the entire Mario communist crud here and then. Want to finally shut up the Mario as political metaphor loons? Read on.

Ten Mario Related Things I Don't Want to See Again

Posted 15th November 2009 at 12:28 AM by cheat-master30 (The DS Ultimate Blog)

In response to the post on Waluigious where he mentions five overused gaming pieces of content that spring up on all the social networks and blogs, I came up with my own list. But it wasn't really fleshed out, and since then, I have improved on the idea with a few more Mario related pieces of content that need to burn in hell.

http://www.waluigious.com/2008/04/in...s-anymore.html

1. Mario Kart/Mario in Real Life

A classic meme going around...
