Addicted to this fun Wii video game? I understand. Super Mario Galaxy is one of those games that comes along and grabs your attention in a big way. The game play is totally fun and unique. The animation is superb. There are a lot of levels in the game, and some have plenty of details that makes you want to revisit over and over again.
So, here’s my Top 10 list. They are signs that you (and I) have been playing way too much Super Mario Galaxy, when…
10. You see a turtle, you pick it up, and toss it at the next annoying person you see.
9. You like running around in circles.
8. You become restless, can’t sleep at night, thinking who can you invite to play co-op mode with tomorrow?
7. You think the high-pitched voice intro of “Super Mario Galaxy” is kinda cute.
6. You approach a light switch, you do a spin attack.
5. You won’t let your kid touch the Wiimote because you’re too busy shaking it.
4. You crank the audio into a receiver and 5.1 speakers to hear the full glory of Dolby Prologic II music and sound effects.
3. You chuckle gleefully like a Luma being fed with star bits.
2. You have an argument with yourself about who is hotter: the Princess or Rosalina.
1. You keep screaming, “One more galaxy!” after a few hours of game time.

I admit, I’d be happy to see any of those signs if I had a Wii. My kids play playstation 2 and I’m just not into those games. But buying a new console doesn’t seem likely. Ah well…

The Wii is so much fun, it’s worth taking the plunge to get a new game console. I bet if you try it at a friend’s place or something, you’ll be hooked. That’s how we got into it.

Im a big fan of Super Mario games too.
I have a Nintendo and SNES collection of Super Mario Bros. when I was in grade school. I really missed those days (…ahhh…nostalgia).

Hah! Great list here. I’m dying to play it myself, actually. But I’m waiting just a bit till my 4 1/2 year-old son’s a little older so he can join me. (He’s obsessed with Mario, but has never played any of the RPG-types yet.)
But wait, can you really play online co-op with it?!?

This reminds me of my friend Pete the other day. He’s an avid Call of Duty player, on the game every day. The other day he was on his way home from work, heard a helicopter overhead and had a sudden urge to shoot it down.

If you can find a Wii console, then you must get this game! Words can’t really describe the complexity and beauty of this game.
As for the images open up in a page, I’m using a Wordpress plugin called Lightbox. It’s a neat Javascript app. Give it a try, I think it’ll improve the page’s functionality.

If you like games with some complexity and beauty to them, there’s an original Playstation game called Nitrous Oxide that you may enjoy.
It’s quite a is psychedelic experience… When I found the boundaries of this game to play to its limits, another time I played it and it seemed as those confines didn’t exist as I had previously believed… It was a mind-opening experience… It was banned from production some years ago due to its high likelihood of inducing (photosensitive?) seizures
, but my friend had managed to get a copy.
It honestly scares me a tad to play it because my perception of reality while even observing this game had become distorted… This reminds me of the subjectiveness of reality… The great thing about it though, was so long as I kept my wits about me, I learned from each experience too, gaining what has hopefully been more clarity in my perception.

Well, I don’t want to play a game that’ll give an epileptic attack.
But this game sounds interesting, I’ll rent/borrow it on the Playstation 2, if they still have it.
Playing video games is an immersible experience. If you can sit down and play for hours, the game gets you to be in that world. You’re right, my reality at the moment is in that game. Sometimes difficult to pull myself out of it.
