Jake Gyllenhaal is the Prince of Persia

The Disney film now has an actor attached to for some reason I am happy about. Before anyone bitches don't forget another actor first laughed at: Tobe McGuire. Remeber what we all thought of him playing a beloved character? That said, I just had to make a joke.

Before Mario Paint, Before Flash

Before I started creating Flash movies like the "Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom Series" and "Mario vs. Sonic" I was already creating smaller sprite animations long ago with another little toy.

Back in the late 80s we had this little gizmo called the The Animator, which used Etch A Sketch dials to draw digital pixels on a screen. (Ohio Art, the creator of the Etch a Sketch created it) You could animate those pixel drawings in a 12 frame animation. The limited frames of animation sucked horribly, but for me it was my first taste of the digital animation world.
Shortly after came the Animator 2000, which I first played at KB games and instantly fell in love with. This thing actually had a primitive touchscreen and sylus that allowed much more freedom over its predecessor. It also had a cartridge system with mediocre games I tried only once before realizing the animation was where this thing excelled.

After drawing on the demo a while, I pleaded with my Dad that this was my must have toy that Xmas. As Christmas was drawing near, I of course found it behind his dresser, and played with it when my parents weren't around. Then neatly packed it up and put it away. My Dad found out of course and beat my ass, but damn was it worth it to play that little gem.

The Animator 2000, along with Mario Paint for the SNES set the foundation for me getting into flash and creating the flash movies I make today.

I would love to find one in a flea market, maybe I'll look one up on ebay soon.

Super Mario Bros. Remake for Wii?

Well, not really, but it would be a dream come true! Eidos and Crystal Dynamics created fan boy bliss with Tomb Raider Anniversary, so imagine if Nintendo surprised us with a fully 3D adventure based on the original Super Mario Bros. We got New Super Mario Bros., but I would love a 3D-third person game. I can't tell you how much I would love exploring the Mushroom Kingdom featuring all the elements of the original! I made a mock up of what the cover could look like.

We can all dream can't we....?

The pains of making a great video game ending.

My personal favorite video game ending of all time is the ending to Super Mario Bros. 2. No other ending of a game sticks in my mind better then a full screen drawing of Mario in his nightcap, snoring away. When I was 12 years old that just oozed awesomeness. Of course there was more to the ending, such as the people of Subcon getting rid of a bloodied Wart, but that image of Mario will always remain in my head.

The greatest ending of all time? VGDC thinks so!
