We have all played or seen a 2 (or more) player split screen mode of a video game. For example, when playing a 2 player race in Mario Kart Wii on the same TV, the screen is split into two sections: the left side for player 1 and the right side for player 2. While this is the only method for playing multiplayer on most games, I came to the conclusion that many players look at an opponent’s side of the screen to see what he or she is up two. This is what is known as “screenwatching”. Although it may seem pretty harmless, games like first-person shooters are extremely susceptible to screenwatchers. Games like Mario Kart also lose their frenzy when you know what your opponent is carrying inside his Kart. Somehow,
screenwatching feels like a diminutive cheating method that can easily be avoided by resisting a bit of curiosity. I never look at what my opponent is doing, and I tend to lose many matches in which screenwatching was involved. Does anyone else believe screenwatching is basically cheating? We welcome all thoughts and comments!
Taking a long walk through memory lane, I finally saw the Super Mario Bros movie (again) after what seemed decades. This movie inspired by the mushroom kingdom was created in 1993, meaning the special effects and stunts are not something to look forward to. The whole concept of a “Mushroom Kingdom” was taken a little too seriously, in this case. I mean, a city covered in a Mushroom blanket? Humanoid Goombas? What’s next, a human Bowser? Oh wait, the King of Koopas is already as human as can be in this movie (no turtle enemies in this film). Although the whole “Mario” concept was taken to freakishly tragic proportions, the misconception and highly unorthodox universe of the plumbers is quite entertaining. You will have more fun trying to figure out what relates to the Mushroom Kingdom than from watching the movie itself. Nevertheless, its an unfortunate classic that Mario Bros fans have to see it to believe it.
It seems our forum host is having some issues with their servers. I can’t really say how long the boards will be unavailable, but if this keeps up, I will be forced to change our forum service. Stay tuned for updates on this!
Surfing along the waves of internet marvel, I came across the classic pac-man game, only this time the Plumber Bros are making a guest appearance. That’s right, Mario and Luigi are in it for the money this
time around. Instead of gathering useless white dots for points, the Bros collect shiny coins through a pipe-themed pac-man maze. Check out the onlinesupermario site to play this game and more!
