Charles Martinet is the official voice of Mario, Wario, Luigi, Waluigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Wario. This video interview cracks me up. (Click the ‘Launch Player’ text link on the right.)

The past few weeks I’ve been working on a project that has made me question the wisdom of writing something that’s xhtml 1.1 compliant. I’m all for web standards. If browsers supported them as universally as they’re supposed to, the world would be a happier place. xhtml essentially is reformatted html served up as xml….

Some guy did some detective work and aggregated the ‘last played’ data of gamercards across the Internet to come up with a totally unofficial but probably not-too-far-off accounting of sales numbers for Xbox Live Arcade titles. According to the list, more people have Uno than any other Arcade title and Texas Hold ‘Em is the…
