Happy 2012

Had a few drinks over the day, while I am going to finish a few more then start my water regime. :kat: and I went out for dinner and are way more full than we should be. I should make it to midnight, as I have World 7 and 8 to finish on Super Mario 3D Land. :smurfy:

Oh yeah, continuing my Vincent Price movie session from earlier today. {it and the Pendulum is the current flavor.

Have a sweet New Year! New job and some more regular dog walks are on my resolution radar. I prepare to go chill in the basement for the 2012 Drop (EST). :D

SOPA and DNS Change

I'm about out for the day, but it should be no shock that I think SOPA is a giant crock of idiotic bullshit. It turns out GoDaddy supports this, so I may join the party to switch to a new DNS provider.

The shameful clickbait sex ads were bad enough, but the ass licking support of such a counter-logical act of Gov't is the last straw. Considering I recently renewed, this is kind of a PITA, but not as much as the blatant idiocy they support.

Reddit Dood:

"I just finished writing GoDaddy a letter stating why I'm moving my small businesses 51 domains away from them, as well as my personal domains," wrote redditor selfprodigy on Thursday morning. He proposed that December 29 be declared "move your domain day," with GoDaddy customers switching to competing registrars. The post has accumulated more than 1,500 comments, most of them supporting the idea.

Super Mario 3D Land

As we joined the 3DS club this holiday, SM3L came home with us. This game shows the interesting use of 3D, while also allowing you to turn off 3D mode. I am mostly fond of the vertical levels, but all around the 3D use for level design is pretty impressive. Truth be told, seeing this game on demo in store, is what encouraged me to get a 3DS.

Game play wise, your base Mario platforming mechanics are intact. There are a few more new Suit / Power Up items, but nothing radically different enough from previous games for me to spoil it any more than that. There are are some mechanisms to make the levels more accessible and they are:
  • Default state is 'Big' Mario. You'll shrink if you get hit, unless you have a powerup. Then you would revert to Big.
  • Extra Lives are silly easy to acquire. This goes along with:
  • If you die multiple times on a level (3x to 5x), a Gold block with a Leaf on it will appear by the Start or Checkpoint. This will give you a Tanooki outfit and Star Power for the duration of the level.
  • Hit the top of the Flagpole @ the end of a level, get a 1 Up.
  • Jump on 5 enemies without hitting the ground (or via Star Power), get a 1 Up. This will continue with more 1 Ups if you continue 6+ on your jumps or star mode.
  • Levels are 'bite-sized' imo. I saw this with Mario 3 in mind. I'd say they are about half the length of those levels, on average.
  • World Maps tend to have 5 Levels and the Castle. Each World also has an optional level, unlocked via the Gold Coins you collected from the other levels.


Per the system time logging, I completed the 1st play through in about 7 hours. Since you collect Gold Coins in each level to proceed into Castles and such, replaying levels works out pretty well.

As common with the newer games, you'll find extra levels regularly not accessible. Details in spoiler

This game also utilizes StreetPass connections. Thus far, I have gotten a few items from Mushroom houses via other people's StreetPass Miis. This is the extent of StreetPass functionality, as of my completing all the main and extra worlds.

I look forward to rocking the extras detailed in the spoiler. I should have this ready for :kat: rocking by tomorrow. The level design is awesome and impressive. I feel the quality trumps any concerns about conceived length.

I think World 5 is my favorite world, as I recall being Wow'ed when I got there.

PS Vita

PS Vita is looking to come state-side in Jan, as it already hit in Japan. Also of good news, is some Hello World code was run in the VitaPSP mode.

Looking forward to a way to play old UMDs, without being asked to buy them again. Homebrew is also always stupid fun too!

Meanwhile, new users are already reporting issues with system performance. Sony dropped a public apology and FW update, so they knew how it was likely to go down.
