    Barabbah: No. It is not a LoTR reference. It is from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! You have not seen it?

    Oh. And Good night.

    I've never played the games, but I have seen the Super Mario Bros movie, which I assume is enough to get the gist of the Mario Game Universe.

    Good morning.

    Well, for me it is the opposite. I have played the games AND saw the series of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! but never saw the movie. How is/was the movie? Any good?

    Good night.

    This trailer sums it up. I think. Barely watched some brief scenes as a kid on tv years ago....

    Good morning.

    In case you're being serious, the whole point of my joke is that the Super Mario Brothers movie is widely considered to be one of the worst video game adaptations ever, with only token connections to the games, and capturing exactly none of the spirit.

    Do not watch, unless doing so ironically.

    Good morning.

    In this brief period here I understood if Smuel is serious it must be for some really serious shit.

    Good morning and happy easter.

    Pro tip: If you meet a woman, and she repeatedly calls you crazy - she's crazy.

    Good morning.

    Today, in Smuel Plays 20 Year Old Games, we're looking at The Sims 2.

    There's a lot of good improvements over The Sims, and on the whole I think that it's a fine sequel. However, the fundamental problem remains - that playing The Sims games feels like a waste of time. Especially when your Sim is sitting at a computer and chatting online with another Sim. It means I'm sitting at my computer, clicking on a simulated person, sitting at their simulated computer, simulating online conversation with another simulated person. Instead of, I don't know, doing literally anything else at all. At least the three people who will read this post are real.

    Ugh, I'm wasting my life.

    Good morning.

    I just bought a new phone. Went to swap the SIM card from my old phone - it's not difficult, I've done it before.

    Nope. The SIM is the wrong size. They've shrunk them even more now - the new phone needs a "nano" SIM. The old one is only "micro". So I'll be having to order a replacement, which involves a whole procedure with the phone company. Sigh.

    The older I get, the more I feel old.

    Good morning.

    That thing with the pope, three nuns and a kangaroo?

    What was wrong with the old one? (cit.)

    It was too big. The new phone needs a "nano" SIM. Which is basically like a micro SIM, but even more so.

    Good morning.
