007 373 5963. mike tyson will rock your world in one punch, this is true. you have to avoid his flurry of uppercuts and don't bother counterpunching until the third round. if he catches you with an uppercut, you're done. king hippo is tricky if you don't hit him in the mouth first. ninja gaiden seems like a hard game. flutes are key for transporting to different levels, as learned in zelda and mario (watch this). there are more secret things in super mario three than i ever knew about, and apparently hong knows them all.



gradius might be the hardest game ever, even with the super konami code. i used to beat contra in three lives, and that is now my goal for the week. my life aspirations are high. me and george once beat the original super mario brothers using only one life. nobody believes us. i could never do it now so i guess it's our word against yours. there is nothing more manly than screaming in desperation and surprise at bubbles and bobbles.



hong got a nintendo and a famicon last week and since i've been back it's been nintendo madness. so many "oh i remember this games!" we are working to beat metroid and ikari warriors. plus achieve other assorted lofty goals. beating tyson is impossible, i just want to see the end of super punch out dammit.
