The Mammon Philosophy

Much as Marle unwittingly follows Crono to the telepod demonstration which sucks her into the middle ages, you can now follow me on Twitter! Simply attach your account to mine in the manner of your choosing, and you’ll receive updates on my latest posts, gaming accomplishments, and other sundry activities such as previews of my movie reviews.

And yet, core gamers will note that I was very upset when I learned that the Goombas of Super Mario World could not be stomped, only flipped over and kicked around like common Troopas. Interesting how quickly we the gamers will adapt to new technologies or motifs, even in spite of our haranguement of them on message boards.
