It's Mario's 30th Birthday! And General Mario Chat

Happy birthday Mario!  You're probably sick of cake though.

Some celebratory things.  First, spot the Google Easter egg.  And second, this is funny.

Do love me some Mario. In fact, once the couple of friends who have picked some up for me see me, I've got the whole set of McDonald's toys again! I'll send you a picture of my frankly ludicrous collection of Mario tat when it's done.

Yahoooooo!

Also not sure if this in a joke article or not.

Pretty sure that's a joke.

Videogamer interview with Charles Martinet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9--1StRGXaI

I watched that interview this morning. Charles Martinet comes across as a great chap.

Ah, imagine if Charles Martinet was your granddad. What a lovely man.

Charles Martinet used to do a lot of fun vines, where he went around with Mario, Luigi and Wario figurines doing the voices. I love there's just something about Mario that attracts wonderful people to be involved. Just pure joy, the whole shebang.

Look at all this Mario tat. :

Ugh, what am I doing?

The one on the top is still the best!

What are the Transformers things? Are they official tat?

I used to have the clock and still got the Mario hat.

Fan - produced Mario and Luigi transformers which were the convention exclusive toy at the last Auto Assembly I attended.

They look pretty ace. Wouldn't mind some close-ups of them in various degrees of "transformed-ness" if you have the time/inclination, Drunka!

I always have time to play with transformers and take pictures! Maybe after work.
