Super Paper Mario comes out in the US today (or tomorrow depending on your specific location). That's pretty cool. What's not cool is that after Paper Mario there's going to be quite a void of games for the Wii that will last for a good 7 weeks at least. That is, if you're like me and have some tepid interest in Mario Party 8 and Project H.A.M.M.E.R. At this point in the series, Mario Party will only be compelling if online play is included. Regarding Project Hammer (not typing the acronymn version anymore), it will have to live up to the action game standards recently defined by the God of War series. I hope those brief concerns help explain the previously mentioned trepidation.

Just an early heads up that this summer I'm eyeing a switch to a biweekly format (i.e., two comics per week). Biweekly is such a weird word. It can mean twice a week or once every two weeks. There are so many situations where I can imagine the ambiguity to be disastrous.
