Boo the Ghost

I've been playing Super Mario 64 while my nineteen month old daughter sits on my lap. She just LOVES to watch Mario run around and find all of the stars. It started out as me just wanting to show her Mario but now every time I get home from work she comes up to me and says, "Game? Game? Game?"

We start up the game and right when Mario says, "It's me Mario," my daughter screams back "HI!" As much as she loves Mario she loves Boo the Ghost even more. I thought she would be scared of the Boo character so I stayed away from that level but as soon as she saw Boo she started waving and blowing kisses to him.

She learned the word 'Boo' right away and whenever she sees him she just keeps repeating, "Boo... Boo... Boo! Hi Boo!" It's such a neat feeling to have her enjoying the same games that I did eighteen years ago. Hard to believe that in a few years she'll be playing them all by herself.

Mario Party - Mini Games

Ok, this is quite the challenge that I gave myself but I am promising to upload ALL of Mario Party One's mini games as individual videos. Most current uploads I saw had all of them in one giant video, this makes it difficult to scroll through and find that one mini-game that you are looking for.

So, I set myself the goal and we'll see how it goes! I've got about thirty videos so far. Once I am done with Mario Party one I will move on to Mario Party two and so on. The hope is to get as many mini-games on my channel as I can.

Lenore's Adventures

I recently started playing around with RPG Maker XP. It's a neat little program that allows you to make your own Role Playing Game. It comes with per-determined sprites and tile sets. The design of the levels and the scripting is left up to you. Fairly intuitive as well, I've done some basic scripting on some other games and it's very easy to pick up.

For my first 'game' I decided to make it play out as a video or episode. So, instead of actively playing the game it is seen as an episode to a series. At first I just started making cities/villages with no real aim or direction but as I dug into it I made enough for one episode, and eventually a second episode.

Given, both episode one and episode two only add up to about nine minutes of actual footage I still think I'm at a good start.

Let me know what you think!
