I hereby declare 2009 to be the year of the Angry Sun. If you have a problem with that, take it up with my friend the Angry Sun from Super Mario Bros. 3.
Speaking of which, isn't it strange how you can kill the sun with a turtle shell? Wouldn't the shell just burn up or something? And why isn't the whole world plunged into darkness after you manage to kill the sun with a turtle shell? Mario games confuse me sometimes. :?
By the way, I've already decided that 2010 shall be the year of the Castlevania 64 Motorcycle Skeleton.
So have a happy new year, and whatever you do, don't drop that Magical Nitro!
