Whenever someone says "such and such was the first time Charles Martinet voiced Mario," someone else comes along with an earlier instance. Very specific versions of Mario Teaches Typing 1. That Mushroom World pinball game. Live events.

But I'm here to put all that to rest. Because the first time Charles Martinet ever voiced Mario was in 1591, in a performance of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.

Originally the character was going to be called Petruchio, but Martinet convinced Shakespeare that "Mario" rolled off the tongue so much better. Ironically, the revised script with the newer and much more popular name was lost to time, and surviving copies still call the character Petruchio.

Sometimes it's fun to take clickbaity Youtube thumbnails at face value. For example, doing so with this one briefly puts me in a world where Nintendo put the CD-i games on Steam.

Louis Armstrong: I'm gonna write a song about how wonderful the world is!

Louis Armstrong: oh

I got more or less as much Doomguy in Smash as expected. Glad Bethesda finally let them base a Mii costume on a good IP.

So today I finally beat a Touhou game. I think I understand now why ZUN doesn't want you to spoil the endings... but I will anyway.

So is there a fan comic where Banjo and Kazooie try to Wonderwing with one of Sephiroth's shedded feathers or something? Because I feel like there should be.

That Someone: Hey Sakurai, I think Smash could use another Microsoft rep.
Sakurai: I know exactly what you mean leave it to me.

Found him. Not sure why you needed the World's Greatest Detective for that.

Kinda weird how swears are called "four letter words" but most of them would be pretty much the same without the fourth.

Wait, can emoji be italicized? I was going through my most recent posts and saw an italicized emoji. I tried it here and it disappeared.
