By the end of the 80s, the Mario franchise went from humble beginnings with Mario as the hero of Donkey Kong to an Arcade in Mario Bros to exploding in popularity with Super Mario Bros on the Nintendo Entertainment System and becoming one of the top franchise players in the video games business. Before Mario, Nintendo had created a portable game called the "Game n' Watch" which was a watch that played a simple game which proved very successful. By the end of the 80s, Nintendo decided to create a new portable system that played games on little cartridges and was charged with four AA Batteries. The portable system would be known as the Game Boy and would become one of Nintendo's most successful creations. To no surprise, Nintendo decided on creating a Mario game to go along with the Game Boy and released a new and different Mario adventure called Super Mario Land. Here, we'll take a look at Super Mario Land as the 30th Anniversary is approaching.

April 4th will kick off the yearly Champion Carnival, the top singles tournament for All Japan Pro Wrestling. The tournament has been won by a who's who in All Japan including Giant Baba, Jumbo Tsuruta, Mitsuharu Misawa, Toshiaki Kawada, Kenta Kobashi, Akira Taue, Stan Hansen, Keiji "The Great Muta" Mutoh, Genichiro Tenryu, Satoshi Kojima, Kensuke Sasaki, and Suwama. This year will be the biggest in years with 18 competitors in 2 blocks of 9 with the traditional round robin format and the tour will span 18 days. With the tournament coming up, I figure I take a look at the participants and analyze their chances of winning as well as reasons why they may not win.

Keep in mind, I'm not making fun of Autism and I love the idea of blue puzzle pieces but it would be cool if they changed the logo to a snow globe with a universe inside it to show the powerful imagination of autistic people. Or a TV since one autistic kid came up with 95% of American Television at least since 1982.

Final Fantasy VI Music - Ending Theme (Full Version)

Happy 25th Anniversary to Final Fantasy VI. One of the greatest video games of all time.

The ending theme shows Nobuo Uematsu at his best as he composes each characters theme and weaves them seemlessly.
