Advent Calendar: December 5th & 6th!

X-E's new catchphrase: "better late than never." Actually, I'm not really "late" with this, but hopefully by next week I'll be on a more proactive schedule. The Advent Calendar's up to date until December 6th, so as soon as I do today's entry, WE RECENT YO. On December 5th, we saw Super Mario become Santa Mario, along with two zany Christmas "Bellywashers" and a new sled for our pals from Playmobil. On December 6th, "Nerds" candy gets Christmasized, Nestle makes cookies, and Mista Snowman meets the cruel clone princess from last year's Advent Calendar feature. Longtime readers should be able to guess. Get worried -- she's back.

I never had Mario soda or enjoyed pepsi, but I do like the second choice of music for Tetris. Come to think of it I liked the 2nd (or maybe it was third) choice of music for Dr. Mario too.

Three cheers for alternative video game soundtracks.

I remember those nerd shaped containers from before, had to be sometime in the early 90′s, but these didn’t have sunglasses and other cool accessories, they just had a hole in the bottom that made you feel like you were sucking their life’s blood out of their asses. Kinda creepy, but fun

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t the Tetris music just Classical Russian music? I know at least one of the songs is based off of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite.

Of course, the Tengen version had different music altogether.

Haven’t seen the Christmas Nerds, but now, I must have them. I’ve seen the Ropes but have never tried them, either. Ah, Christmas is the season for faith, and with so much good stuff around, why not put my faith in something different?

And I, too, am enjoying the daily travails of Mista Snowman and his entorage. None of our advent calendars at my parents’ house were ever this much fun. A lot of times, it was just my brother slapping Christmas stickers on Mom’s calender so he wouldn’t ask her when the big day was so much.
