Review: Snowboard Kids

by John Walker on Apr.12, 2006, under Reviews

What I have learned is: Mario Kart is really, incredibly good. And further, I don’t know why. Mario Kart has unfair deaths, where despite your superb racing technique, and complete trouncing of the AI drivers, a giant blue turtle can still knock you off the track one inch from the finish line, robbing you of your hard-earned victory. You throw your arms up in disgust, swear the paint from the walls, and most likely call Princess Peach a bitch. Then you play again.

It’s been a while – new review up on EG.

    [hilarious mockery of previous days discussion, as per EG comments, demonstrating complete inablitly to let it lie]

    God, I’m brilliant.

    I chuckled at you and Stu’s comments a lot. :)

    “you and Stu’s”…

    Anyone with a good grammar sense tell me whether that’s right?

    or “mine and Bills’s potato”? That right?

    Does it matter much? You both missed ‘inablitly’ though.

    Bad grammar is a hanging offence. Typos reap only a light chastisement. Would suggest “your and Stu’s…” since the comments belong to both Stu and you (or rather, him). Perhaps rewrite – “the comments of Stu and your good self” and then discover that you hate the person you’ve become and hang yourself anyway.

    I expect correction, and inevitable chasetisement or hanging from Nick now.

    Yup, I can see the improvement, alas it is a bit of mouthful given the number of times it has been required. Apologogies in advance if I forget.

    By Nick, I of course meant the real Nick – Mailer, not the ersatz Nick, who deceived me for a while by being in such a surprisingly agreeable mood.

    “youse and Stu’s” has a certain appeal, I find.

    I feel certain that is right, TW
