Hey there. Did you guys know that Feb. 12th is Pancake Day?!?! As I was going about my daily business, I noticed that there was a lot of emphasis put on pancakes. I thought to myself, well... maybe today people finally realized how awesome pancakes are and decided to show the world! I mean, c'mon... pancakes are the perfect breakfast food. When the family and I decide to have breakfast at a restarant, it doesn't matter where, I will order pancakes. I love them that much. But I must admit... I missed out on the Pancake Day fun. I would have loved to have made pancakes for the family, or head on over to a local restaurant for some pancakes for dinner! Hey! Pancakes are great anytime of day. Don't judge me! lol Anyways, I missed out yesterday. But you know what... I don't need wait until next year for some pancake fun!

Get a Life Podcast Ep. 7 - The One with Video Game Adventures and Gateway Video Games
Hey there. Ready for another episode of the Get a Life Podcast? Awesome! In this episode, Brian and I discuss our video game adventures. Gaming has seemingly slipped into our everyday lives and occurs even when NOT gaming. lol Also, we touch base on that one gateway video game that molded us into the gamers that we are today.
During our show, we posed the question, "What kind of video game adventures have you had in real life?" Let's hear it in the comments, friends! Also, we mentioned one of our favorite charities on our show, the Child's Play Charity, and if you are interested in donating or simply looking for more information, please make sure to check out their website at ChildsPlayCharity.org. Over $5 million was donated to the organization in 2012 and it would be awesome if 2013 brought that and more for kids in need.

Hey there. Do you have the New Super Mario Bros 2 game for the Nintendo 3DS? If so, you are one of the many gamers that have collectively amassed over 300 billion in gold coins. 300 BILLION!!!

Nintendohemian Rhapsody
Hey there. I love me a good NES title. Why? Well because they are fun and challenging! There was no internet to tell us what to do, there was rarely a strategy guide in sight, and if you died after using all of your continues, that was it. Game over. Start from the beginning... AGAIN! Nevertheless, I loved them. The video below expresses my sentiment EXACTLY! Take a listen. If you are a NES fan, you're going to love this! Later!

Hey there. KIRBY!!! The lovable pink hero is celebrating his 20 anniversary this year! And to celebrate, Nintendo has collected 6 classic Kirby games into one great collection. Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition includes Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby's Adventure, Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Land 3, and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards!
