Live from Star Haven

October 14th, 2009:  Wrestler, entertainment manager, and voice actor, Captain Lou Albano, has passed away.  As a Mario fan and 80s child, it’s like losing a part of my childhood.  I mean, he had the best Mario voice ever, seriously (in fact, he is my Mario).  He even had a great personality on the WWE (formerly WWF in his time) as manager. 

Wow, what a voice, what an entertainer, both in the animated and in the real world.

I really wished I met him, especially a few years ago when he was promoting the Super Mario Brother Super Show Volume DVD in a store in New Jersey.  Looking at his most recent photo, he reminds me of my late grandfather with a long beard.

Yeah, Captain Lou, we’re talking about you.  You may be imitated, but you’ll never be duplicated.

Obama’s speech on education has sparked a battle on whether to present the speech to children, fearing that it would teach kids politics and that the President should not be reaching the kids and focus on “important matters”.

Really?  Caring about the younger Americans is not important?  Think of the speech as one big “pep rally” with a fireside chat feel. 

At first I thought what many parents thought; President Obama shouldn’t worry about giving a speech to kids when there are bigger problems in America.  Now that I have looked at the speech, I wish I heard a speech like that from a president when I was in school.  (come to think of it, Clinton was pretty cool).  Maybe I wouldn’t have been so apathetic about school.  Still, it gives me motivation to get more education, because my education wasn’t really good enough.  If it were, I wouldn’t be in a dead-end job.

Anyway, now I hear that Obama urges the parents to keep the kids focused on their studies and not spend every waking hour in front of the TV or the XBox.  Soon, I see and read blogs of people accusing of Obama of bashing the XBox.  Look at the comments in this Game Politics blog entry, for example.

For crying out loud, he’s trying to point out that we shouldn’t waste our lives on just playing video games or watching TV.  Of course, he could have said that we shouldn’t be wasting much of our time playing video games (he should also mention to not waste our time on the Internet).

Seriously, fanboys, Obama is not Jack Thompson, Hillary Clinton, or any video-game-bashing politician.  Let the man offer encouragement to the younger generation that will be shaping America when the rest of us will be in retirement.

There’s more in life than just video games and TV.  There’s a big world out there ready for every kid and adult to explore.

In fact, Billy Mays himself has been seen and promoting the Sham Wow.  Still, the people have screamed for “buttscratchers”, as well as Marco Polo and other certain memes (and many were annoyed, but, sadly, in this day and age, this is very common, and I’m used to them).  So, sit back, relax, and enjoy my tale of ups and downs of Otakon 2009.

Thursday: After work, my mom and I headed downtown to the convention and picked up our badges.  Now, my mom has not been in line with me since my first Otakon, so she was curious of what’s going on.  I answered her questions while we waited in line and I was reading Japanamerica.  Along the line, I ran into Mike Kochis (which surprised me, considering his financial situation, but moreso when I heard he got a new job) and Crystal (in her Rinoa costume).  Mom and I waited in line for about an hour and I picked up my Ouran High School Host Club badge.  Soon we left, after getting confused on how to pay for parking in the Gallery, and grabbed dinner at the Dairy Queen.

Friday: With my stuff packed and ready to head out, I rushed to get ready as Justin arrived at my house at 8:30.  Originally, I planned on wearing my Tails costume, but my mom talked me out of it, and I wore a Mario-themed outfit: a cowboy hat with a Mario button from Magfest, a Yoshi/Toad shirt, and my Mario shoes that I have drawn and painted since last week.  Once we got there, there was a line going in the convention, as well as a line for registration.  The line to get inside wasn’t really a long wait, especially since a staff member has allowed members to enter through the side entrance.  While I waited, I took pictures of cosplayers, including Peter Griffin (played by one of Roose’s friends) guarding the entrance to the game room (it doesn’t open until noon).  Soon, the usual gang has joined together (sans Matt 3, he didn’t make it), we went to see Tony Oliver, who mostly talk about his role, as well as promoting the voice acting workshop he will host Saturday, the Bang! Zoom Dubbing Workshop (which I will see).

Afterwards, we went to see the AMV Overflow (after I took pictures of the Vampire Knight photoshoot) while we waited for the game room to open.  The videos had some prospects, but the timing and choice of anime could have been better (although the anime talent show AMV has already been shown in different conventions and, I think, won a contest).  Around 11:30AM, which is usually when people are gathered around the game room, I joined the crowd.  Soon, the rest joined.  Around noon, the game room was opened to the public (yes, the game room opened on time for once).

The game room was the same as last year, except this year, there were two dance machines.  I managed to play Brawl and Mario Kart Wii for a little bit before getting in line for the Mario Kart Wii tournament.  There, I was talking to two guys, and we were arguing about who were the best and the worst; one of the guys told me that I have “lost the game” (he mentioned the game and I replied, “You lost it”).

Seriously, “the game” should never be mentioned.  The game never existed!

Anyway, while I waited for the Mario Kart Wii tournament to begin, Justin and I grabbed a bite to eat at the Aramark’s concession stand.  He had chicken and I had a salad with stale croutons.  After lunch, I practiced a round of Mario Kart Wii and getting better (I’m not used to 150cc karts).  Finally, the tournament was underway, but when I raced with two others in the first round, I wound up in second place (should have chosen a lighter kart for a very easy course like Luigi Circuit).  Although I would have stayed to check out the rest, but given the course, it seemed uneventful, I got in line for the 4-player Brawl tournament.  My friends saw me in line and wished me luck while they went to see Sword of the Stranger.  While I waited, I played a bit of Pokémon Platinum before the staff handed out the tickets.

Between then and the tournament, I played a round of Twinkle Star Sprites before I went to the Dealer’s Room.  I was looking for the Halolz booth for a mudkip I needed to add in the Pokédex (and nothing more), but I wound up looking around, especially around Mad Gear and New York Games, as well as talked to Cheshie for a little bit at Undiscovered Treasures.  Just as I returned to the game room, the Brawl tournament was about to begin.

The 4-player tournament was different than I have expected; more stages were open and players were allowed to use certain items.  Nevertheless, I didn’t make it past the first round, but at least I didn’t finish dead last.  Disappointed, yet again, I got in line for the AMV contest (believe me, I would have stuck around to see how good players play, but for schedule reasons, I had to check out the AMV contest).

The AMV contest had a preshow where they did a loop of anime-related trivia.  When the show started, the introduction was a parody of the Daicon IV opening cermonies that they did last year.  As for the entries, there were some decent ones, at least one good music video in each category (the comedy ones were somewhat of a letdown really).  Still, I voted the Little Nemo AMV as Best Drama and Best in Show.  After the show, I went back to the game room where I found Justin, Roose, and Robin (one of Roose’s friends from Cyberden).  We all agreed to eat at Uno’s for some pizza, pasta, and little potato pizza appetizers while talking about different anime series, video game tournaments, local events, and the ups and downs of real life.  We were friendly with the waitress, Daniella, who was curious of all the anime shows and was trying to remember this one show she watched (it was Bleach).

After dinner, we went back to the con to get our 18+ bracelets, which were so long, we lost Robin along the way.  Unfortunately, we learned that our most anticipated panel, Dub Actors After Dark, was full and turned people away.  So, in the meantime, Justin and I watched a bit of Machine Girl Lite/Chanbara Beauty while Roose went back to the game room.  Somewhere in the middle of Chanbara Beauty, Justin checked on the Dub Actors After Dark panel to see if there were open spots.  Good news:  there were, but they were letting in a few people at a time.  So, Justin texted me on the info, and I was out of the video room and into the panel.

The panel featured nearly every English voice actor (except Crispin Freeman), telling ‘mature’ anecdotes answering questions with enough dirty language for the Orbitz gum PR team to barge in the panel and advertise their product.  Of course, I was just happy seeing Travis Willingham (with my busy schedule, I could not see him in his Q & A panels).  We had our laughs until 12:30 (yes, they extended the panel for our enjoyment, that was nice of the staff and guests).  With enough time, we got to see an episode of Bible Black, and regretted for getting so curious (that’s all I will say about the anime, but I will say this, I am not used to seeing something this raw).  I wasn’t scarred, which is a good thing for me.  Justin and I discussed today’s events, especially the mature events, as we walked to the MEH mobile, parked near the B & O museum (yay for free parking) and headed home.

Saturday: Dressed in my poor attempt in techno (despite having goggles), I was ready to head out with Justin escorting me to the convention.  However, I was late to get in line for the 1 vs. 1 Brawl tournament (I was like, “Screw it”) and decided to head to the Artist Alley before playing a round of Brawl in one of my best matches.

At the Artist Alley, I got to see a lot of artists, most are from deviantArt and Etsy, as well as some great art pieces in the alley and the art show (the Big O model was definitely the best one).  Some of the artists that have caught my attention include Brion Foulke, Iris Chen, A Case of Random, Dueling Analogs, Sum Yun Mao, Arigateau,  Aisha Voya, Cally’s Critters, Bottled Talent, Pau, Machine Gun Angel, Vampire Jaku, Vespee, and Schin Hern Loong.   I also saw artwork (Koopaling bead sprites FTW) in the Art Show by Geek Mythology (but not the artists).  All I have to say, the Artist Alley was definitely the best part of the convention.

I also managed to talk to Alex and Brandon at the anime club (they were promoting Tigercon, which happens to occur on my birthday)!  We talked about the club (congrads on  Mykeal and Marie) and how Monikka is the latest victim of WoW.  After a nice discussion, I went back to the game room and on my way, I spotted a Gurren Lagan photoshoot.  I took a few pictures before I took lots of pictures of the Brawl photoshoot.  I, then, tried to watch Evangelion 1.0 You are Not Alone, but the tech crew had problems.  I left the video room (besides it was nothing but a recut of the first three episodes) and went to the Bang!Zoom Dubbing workshop.  The workshop, hosted by Tony Oliver, featured attendees doing demos of scenes from various anime series from Gurren Lagan to Rurouni Kenshin.  I met Antron at the end of the workshop, and he told me he wanted to check out the masquerade.  I told him that if he wants to go, he should call me.  In the meantime, I checked out the How to Heckle Bad Anime Good panel.

Of course, the panel was in one of the new Hilton hotel conference rooms, so it was a long walk.  Of course, the panel filled up by the time I got there, so I waited around 10 minutes before letting me inside.  The panel wasn’t bad, but it did teach us to be more open-minded to those who are into the anime or the culture that is often looked down by a majority of fellow anime fans, but at the same time, heckle for the fun of it.

Afterwards, I went to see Kanon Wakeshima.  The line was very long, but I managed to get in line and waited a couple minutes before they started seating the attendees.  The concert opened with the local J-Rock band, Geist (they appeared at Tigercon last year).  Geist was okay, but I, along with the rest of the audience were waiting for Kanon to perform.  The moment she appeared and performed the first ending to Vampire Knight, I nearly cried.  Kanon was so cute and she seems to enjoy playing for us as we enjoyed listening to her.  Just as the concert ended, everyone rushed to the area where she was giving out autographs and selling her CDs.  I, and some others, thought that was just plain rude.  Disappointed over how long the line would last, I decided to head out and find something else to do (although I could have just waited in line as it wasn’t like she was going anywhere after the session was over).

I checked my phone and Justin messaged me about him at the Noboru Ishiguro panel with Roosevelt.  I decided to hang out with him for a while before I went to check out the Genshiken panel (which was kind of boring, even if it was informative).  Then Antron called me, wanting to check out the masquerade.  I headed to the game room where Antron said he would be and explained to him that now wasn’t a good time to go to the masquerade as the seating would be filled up by that time.  However, I did say we could try, but he changed his mind and decided to skip it.  Antron went back to the game room, and I went to the Artist Alley to look at some more stuff that I couldn’t because I wanted to check out the photoshoots.  I did buy the Luma plushie from Arigateau.  While I was talking to an artist about her work and about the anime we’ve been watching, Matt 2 called me and said he was heading to the masquerade.  I declined joining him, but told him to ask Antron.

With time in my hands, I checked out the OCRemix panel, where I saw Brendan (finally) and Shawn Phase.  The panel talked about their website and the music they were promoting such as the remix albums of Final Fantasy IV and Donkey Kong Country 2.  So far, they were looking pretty good (the albums, that is).  Justin joined me a little after I sat down, and we got to see Brendan for a bit (he was helping the OCRemix people sell T-shirts).

It was around 8:30 when Justin and I met Roose and Robin in the game room where we decided to get some dinner at the food court.  Afterwards, we decided to head to Ram’s Head where we learned about a cosplay fashion show.  Unfortunately,  a couple of people who had similar plans told us that the staff were rude and wouldn’t anyone in that doesn’t follow their dress code.  Justin and I took a look around before we all decided to skip the fashion show and headed to the game room.  There we saw some more of Roose’s friends, one of them challenged Justin to some game matches (including a Dr. Mario match, which Justin would definitely accept).  I also took pictures of a Death Note photoshoot.  I eventully put on the glowing bracelets and the glowstick and headed to the rave.

Naturally the line to the rave was long; it took me a while to check in my bag.  However, I heard the line directly to the rave (non-bag check line) was insanely long (which was right when I left).  I even saw some cops going in and out.  According to some staff members, someone was under the influence or in possession of ectasy (don’t quote me on that).  After checking in, I went inside, with my camera in my hands and the phone in my pocket in case Justin calls.  The rave itself was very disappointing.  Even if my feet were hurting and the fact that I wanted to dance with someone, the music wasn’t that great and the conga line just made things worse (again, conga lines should not be utilized in a crowded dance area).  Thankfully, there was a rest area to rest my weary feet.

I got a text from Justin saying that he decided to skip the rave due to the insanely long line and head to Video 3, which was showing Death Bell around that time.  Immediately, knowing that someone I know won’t be joining me (which I understand completely), I decided to join him.  Along the way, I ran into Crystal, who was getting her picture taken along with some of her friends.  We talked as we walked to her hotel room at the Hilton.  After finding the right stairwell to the right floor, we reached the room where I got to rest my feet and her friends were getting ready to head out.  They invited me for dinner, but I declined since it was running late.  As we were going back to the con, I called Justin to find a meeting place, but I learned that he was in the Your Favorite Video Game Character Sucks 2 panel at the Hilton.  I shouted my goodbyes to Crystal and the others, as I headed to the panel.

I tried to find Justin but the staff member told me to find a seat, which he politely told me there were seats in the front. So I sat down as the panelists were pointing out some characters that really grind their gears, including trolls like Gary Oak, King Dedede, the scary grim reaper things from Bubble Bobble, and the slimes from the Dragon Quest series.  It was one of those panels that we wished didn’t end, but it did.  I did get to see Justin and Roosevelt, who were behind me that whole time.  Seeing that it was late, Justin and I decided to head home, while talking about the panel we just saw (yeah, it was that good).

Sunday:  Seeing Justin was too tired to drive early, I had my mom drop me off at the convention.  Upon arrival, I decided to go to the game room where I played a few rounds of Mario Kart Wii, Panel de Pon, and Brawl.  I even did a “Buttscratcher” call for fun.  When Justin arrived, he played a few rounds of Dr. Mario while Antron was showing us Octomania (he even bought a copy).  Justin and Matt 2 eventually played Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Roose played Tekken 5 DR, which I watched (as well as this XBox 360 game where it plays like a fighter and an RPG and the characters range from a rabbit wizard to a big, black knight.

We all left when the game room closed and headed to the Dealer’s Room (except for Roose, who went to the second Noburo Ishiguro panel).  We looked around the dealer’s booth, especially Video Games New York and Mad Gear, where Justin bought Katamari Damacy and I bought him Tetris for the NES (he also bought Speed Grapher series DVD boxset from another booth, but I don’t remember where).  I did manage to buy a Bee Mario plushie for $20 at, I believe, Anime V.  With enough time, Justin and I headed to meet Roosevelt at the panel.  Just as the panel ended, Roosevelt wanted to go to the Dealer’s Room, so I joined him, because there is this CD that I wanted to buy, but was hesitant to get.  So, Roose and I walked around the Dealer’s Room, where I finally found the Halolz booth and got my Mudkip.  We looked at DVDs and CDs, but none that I wanted to get.  The CD that I wanted originally had been sold, and we stayed until the Dealer’s Room closed.

With enough time, the gang all met in the entrance to head over for Hooter’s for some wings.  Matt 2 and I shared pictures we took and talked about Zelda since he had a lot of pictures from the Zelda photoshoot.  We had one group photo before we said our goodbyes and headed home, leaving stray otakus and all the “Buttscratchers” calls behind.

On my previous post, I have mentioned that a group of gamers are hosting a marathon where they would play platform Mario games (Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario Brothers 2, Super Mario Brothers 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy) to raise money for charity.  As of right  now, the marathon is underway and, already, they have raised over $8100.

Throughout the marathon, they have set goals, and each time the goal is met, they would play another game, complete the games all the way through, and do some crazy Mario-related event (e.g., doing “the Mario”, getting a 1-UP tattoo, getting in costume).  They would also hold prize drawings by either twittering to their friends about Super Mario Marathon (one twitter per person) or donating money ($5 donation per person).

Could you imagine playing games all weekend (and then some, depending on how far they reach their goal) to make children in hospitals happy?  Good luck to you, Mario Marathon!  I hope your hard work in planning and practice pays off (literally)!  May your Wii not get blown up.

So if you want to watch some gamers play Mario games for charity, as well as see some fun moments, go to Mariomarathon.com!  Even better, you can help them with their cause by either making a donation or by telling everyone about it (lots of people are discussing it on Twitter and on Digg).

As a Mario fan, I was actually surprised when I find out a group of people decided to play all the Mario platform games for a whole weekend straight.  Of course, they did it for a cause:  Child’s Play, an organization dedicated in helping children hospitals centers across the globe.

I learned this from The Mushroom Kingdom.  Of course, it was a Sunday and I missed a lot of the action, but they seemed to have fun in playing games.  These people have worked hard from the setup to the actual event and their efforts have paid off.  They have raised over $11,000 for Child’s Play.

And guess what?  They’re going to do it again.  On July 10th, the party/charity event to bring smiles to children in hospitals will begin again.

So, tune in to July 10, 2009 on MarioMarathon.com!

Two weeks ago, I have made my views of E3 from news and videos of big press conferences.  As a Nintendo loyalist for so many years, I, of course, have awaited for their big news after their huge disappointment last year.  I’ll admit, I did expect Nintendo to show at least one Mario game (besides Mario and Luigi 3, I knew about that one before E3), and yes, I predicted (but not revealed in this blog) that it would be something like New Super Mario Brothers.

Perhaps my hype over Nintendo was more than necessary.  I mean, they didn’t really give a spectacular presentation like Sony or Microsoft did.  I just was hoping for at most two Mario games for the gaming fiscal year, and have Nintendo focus on other franchises (besides Metroid and Zelda since they have been mentioned), especially those that haven’t been touched for years (e.g., F-Zero, Kid Icarus).  I wish they would make another Star Fox game like Star Fox 64 or maybe have one starring team Star Wolf.

Of course, these Mario games are merely sequels of a particular series in the Mario franchise.  In other words, I probably won’t see a game that makes me exclaim, “WOW!”  Yes, New Super Mario Brothers Wii has that four-player action that seems neat (the concept reminds of the Mario cartoons, although it would be better if Peach was a playable character instead of another Toad), but it’s the same game and with more ridiculous power-up suits (bring back the Super Leaf or a Cape Feather).  Mario and Luigi:  Bowser’s Inside Story has two features I like in a Mario game:  RPG style and the use of both brothers.  I guess I’ll have to see how the story goes (a good story makes a good game).

You hear that?  I also love a good story in my Mario games!  In other words, let’s have someone else besides Peach getting kidnapped, have Mario face another villain (or have an existing villain get his/her revenge), or have a dark aspect of the plot (i.e., bringing worlds to an end by a psychotic villain like in Super Paper Mario).  Hey, I don’t mind a Super Mario RPG sequel, or even a remake, like in a Tales of series or Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories style.

I probably won’t play Mario vs.  Donkey Kong:  Minis Strike Back, even though the level creator feature is a neat concept.  As for Super Mario Galaxy 2, after remembering the ending of the first Galaxy game, it does sound like an opening for a sequel.  Just thinking about it has answered my question on how big the Marioverse is.  Personally, I think they should have the gameplay of Galaxy with the setting being the Mushroom World, like Super Mario 64.  Well, perhaps having Yoshi to ride would be interesting to control.

Finally, I probably won’t play Metroid M.  At least, not until I play the classic Metroid and Super Metroid games.  However, with my list of games I should have played growing, that probably won’t happen for a while.

What do Dragonball Z and Fullmetal Alchemist have in common?  This year alone, they are anime that have been previously released, but are now re-released to adapt closer to the manga version.  Dragonball Z has already been released as Dragonball Kai as Fullmetal Alchemist has been adapted as Fullmetal Alchemist:  Brotherhood.  The two series has been cut down of all fillers and add new footage of stories that have never been animated.

I have already explained briefly on Dragonball Kai, where a lot of fillers have been cut.  For example, on episode 8, the Saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa, have arrived on Earth whereas in the first anime, Gohan would go through his first transformation and starts running amok.  In Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, we see Edward and Alphonse on the pursuit of a former military alchemist that works with water and all its forms (a story never shown in the anime), as well as introductions to State military officials like Mustang, Oliver Armstrong, Maes Hughes, and Führer King Bradley in the first episode (in the first series, we see Edward and Alphonse investigating a priest that can perform miracles, which in the new series, it’s episode 3).

Despite the title of this blog, anime remakes may not be the wave of the anime future, but I have a few good ideas of anime that may continue the trend (in no particular order).

1. Yu-Gi-Oh:  The series is basically a card game that has gone out of hand, as well as one of the anime series that was horrendously edited in English courtesy of 4Kids.  If it were redone, the first series (the origin of the Millenium Puzzle and the main cast) would be recolored to the second series’ (and manga) style before airing .  Don’t expect the Orichalcos saga to show up.
2. Sailor Moon:  Much like the Dragonball series, it was practically filler (the “Doom Tree” saga with the alien siblings was never a part of the anime series).  If it were made into a remake, it would probably be a remastered version (HD graphics and sound), airing in about 2012, which is about ten years from its original air date.  Let’s hope “Moonlight Densetsu” won’t get replaced, but the Cloverway English voice actors will.
3. Chobits:  This well-known CLAMP manga series should get a retelling like FMA: Brotherhood.  The anime featured some episodes that never happened in the manga, including the online game and the trip to the beach.  Some of the stories in the anime have also been twisted around from the manga (e.g., Hideki coming from a farm (never mentioned in the manga, Chii’s panties search adventure in the anime instead of Hideki’s brief humiliation of the panties search in the manga).

Of course, if we do this trend of revamping anime to fit its manga adaptation, then it should be for practically all anime (at least the ones that have made an impact in the anime industry).  While Chobits has not made an impact in the USA as Yu-Gi-Oh or Sailor Moon, it definitely fits in the category of anime that should be remade to fit the original manga.

How about you?  What anime, if any, should be remade to continue this ‘new wave’?  Do you think that remaking anime to fit the manga is a waste of money?

At E3, Microsoft and Sony have jumped in the next best thing in video games that Nintendo has brought originally:  motion controlled-games.  With the Nintendo Wii bringing in a new way of having fun, Sony has brought the Playstation Motion Controller and Microsoft has Project Natal.  Should Nintendo be concerned now that they may be equals with the competition?

According to Shigeru Miyamoto in a BBC interview, the answer is no.  Since Nintendo has always been the pioneer in game consoles (e.g., the concept of the four-button control came originally on the SNES), Nintendo is always conjuring up innovative methods of playing video games.

The author of the blog made his opinion that Miyamoto may be a bit too hasty in his answer.  With all the motion-controlled features Sony and Microsoft announced at E3, Nintendo may no longer be the unique individual they have always claimed to be.  Third-party games could (most likely) look into Nintendo’s competitors to promote their motion-controlled games.  I totally agree with the author’s opinion.  In addition, if Nintendo is working on the next big thing, they are sure taking its time.  This year, it is the Wii Motion Plus, an extension to the Wiimote to enhance controls.  This coming year, it is the Wii Vitality Sensor, a device that measures your pulse as you play a game.  I’m sorry, Nintendo.  I don’t see how a vitality sensor should fit in the gaming industry (rather, it should be used in gaming research).  Then again, Nintendo may be on to something with Wii Fit Plus.

Still, it’s too soon to make judgements on something that is not scheduled to be released until 2010.  So, Nintendo may pull something big some time next year.  I think Nintendo has a good start with Wii Fit Plus.

Before I continue with my weekly blog schedule, I just had to mention this.  Thanks to Justin for leading me to this.

Conan shows off his new awesome set.
On Friday June 5th, Conan makes a comment on how his backdrop, originally claimed by Serious Lunch, looks like something from a Super Mario Brothers video game.  Apparently, that comment is not far from the truth.
