If I recall correctly some people at SomethingAwful looked up his myspace or something and posted it and it had some poetry I think, which is kind've skeezy (the internet detectivery, not the poetry), but that's about where it stopped when some better headed people told the internet detective to knock it off.

Eh well... once it's posted, it's public. At least I don't recall MySpace having varied privacy settings...

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

There was indeed drama. A mistake was made and as is often the case, the most public facing person paid the price. I won't get into specifics out of respect for the parties but I can confirm that there was some drama and at the time it was not dealt with in a mature manner. I only hope that everyone has grown since then and moved on. Blue was treated as no person ever should.  I'm not trying to create any sort of scandal, in fact I'm asking that we drop it.  Thanks.

I think the important part is that the Mushroom Kingdom certainly has never looked worse.

Dang it Princess Toadstool, we elected you as our monarch for a reason! Yet all you do is sit on your butt and bake cakes for your boyfriend, run a successful island, and get kidnapped by your other boyfriend!

But I mean really, Bowser is a king, Mario is a plumber. I think it's much more plausible to assume Mario is the mistress (manstress?) in this situation than anything else. Also, I'm pretty sure Toad does most of the governemental stuff, Toadstool is more of a figurehead that an actual head of government at this point.

Her pipe and floating block infrastructure programs are a disaster, there is no economy to speak of, and there is ethnic strife between the humans, the pipe plants, and the turtles... worst monarch ever.

Worst monarch? You may be right about that, however the toads/mushroom people seem to adore her none the less.
I guess it's all in the PR stunts of frequently getting kidnapped and putting up a cute face.

Hmm, I'm starting to wonder. With the Marie Antoinette parralels (Mainly the recurring Cake theme, amiright?), perhaps the goombas and koopas are racially segragated lower classes that are rising up, and Bowser is simply the leader of the reveloution.

They checked in at i49 and have begun setup for tomorrow. I really wish I was in attendance. Perhaps AlexPoysky is there?

I wonder if we'll get a glimpse of what they're demoing at i49. Maybe a stream?

Well, rarely I have seen Bowser actually want to kill her, maybe it's sort of a passive-aggressive revolution?

*Goes back to topic.*
Well, hopefully someone on these forums will be attending and tell us of the happenings there.

I will accept donations from forum goers to travel to these conventions and report on anything asked of me. Because I'm a generous person of course.

... multiple monitor support. That's... interesting. Guess technically Terraria could do it too, thinking on it, for all that the comparison probably isn't really a meaningful one to make on stuff like that.

Would maybe raise some interesting PvP questions, hohoho. If certain weapons had long enough range, anyway.
