Not that difficult acually (though he did have to have the artistry to draw climbing and jumping Pauline.)
He did NOT, however, change the “prizes”, which belonged to the hostage (in this case Mario), which include a lovely purse and parasol. This Mario must be quite the sissy.
Smart dad!
Oh, and it should be heroINE”, not hero, just as it is PauINE, not Paul. What does the monkey want with Mario, anyway?
I’m waiting for a version of Aliens where a man is the hero, instead of that baldy Weaver gal!
That sounds fun.
I ehard that in the PC versions of games like Grand Theft Auto-San Andreas, you can create or download player-made vehicles and stuff.
Very cool. Customization is what made games like BF1942 so freaking sweet.
Yes, because you can’t have white males as heroes anymore, at least in Hollywood.
Well, mario is a plumber, so he probably forgot to pay his union dues. After all, union thugs are called "gorillas"...
