“Too much beer and drugs, man.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, this is a different way of starting the feature up again – not a magazine clipping, not a pack-in extra, but STILLS FROM HOME MOVIES!!<\/b><\/p>\n

I was idly going through some dumb home movies my brother, myself and my chums made years and years and years<\/i> ago, and I’d totally forgotten how much my room was decked out in Nintendo rubbish. Exhibit A: my dumb sticker-slathered door!
\n<\/b>I seriously had no screening process for that lump of oak. If it was colourful and adhesive, I slapped them on. Protect dolphin life? Hell yeah, dude. A Mickey Mouse anti-littering reminder? You know it, baby. The logo for N64 Magazine? Why the heck not!<\/p>\n

I had reams of these things from top to bottom, though the highlight is easily the Mario Kart 64 banner, featuring one of its advertising taglines – “ROAD RAGE. Keep it off the streets.”<\/i> If that was mint on card I could probably be a thousandaire by this point, but I eventually ended up peeling them all off because having a sticker of a LEGO ninja on your door does reduce your credibility a little. Don’t worry, I’ve got a talking doll of Steve Irwin that fills that void for me. Nobody’s going to take me seriously anytime soon.<\/p>\n

“It’s a mad, mad dog. It’s not a not-mad dog, it’s a… mad dog. Black, small, it looks just like a puppy. We suspect it might be a cat dressed as a dog. Which is mad.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Exhibit B: that Mario Kart 64<\/i> poster I once talked about ages ago!
\n<\/b>This was a great poster. What more could a geeky child ask for than colourful kart racers crashing into jungle flora? It’s a fantastic action shot, and it’s a real pity you just don’t see dioramic pieces like for many Nintendo games nowadays. If I weren’t overstocked on credibility-reducing paraphernalia, I’d be mad keen on finding a reproduction of it.
\nYou’ll probably see that I glued cut-outs of Diddy Kong Racing<\/i> characters onto the poster… for some reason. I wish I could tell you why, pal, but did I mention I was a dumb kid? I was a dumb<\/i><\/b> kid, and all dumb-dumbs gotta pay the repercussions. I could be wrong, but I think I unearthed this poster a year or two ago, and it was in a sorry state – it had been crumpled and torn and did I mention it had cut-outs of bloody Diddy Kong Racing<\/i> characters glued onto it?\u00a0 It could have been gracing my wall, or even a loving new owner’s wall had I taken care of it, but, well, them’s the breaks.<\/p>\n

We’ll be back to magazine scans and whatnot on our usual schedule of Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from here on, unless I can find some embarrassing photographs of me playing Nintendo All-Star Battle Cards or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
