  The Nintendo era introduced some of the most perfect women in video game history. The gamer felt compelled to save these damsels in distress in the hopes of being the hero they always saw themselves as.  But some of these women weren’t the fawning princesses we’ve come to know throughout the video game medium. You could actually play as some of them, and the ones that you could play as would became some of your favorite protagonists. This next list will go through the most memorable girls from Nintendo games. We could have made this list longer and included the girls from other video game franchises, but we thought the most important ones were on Nintendo games. When we think of hot video game chicks, we always think of these next five girls.  They are Nintendo’s very best women.

• The Old-Wizard.com Logo Contest

  For nearly a year now Old-Wizard.com has been a website without a logo. The main reason being that we’re not creative enough (i.e. too lazy) to come up with our own. To remedy this situation we’ve decided to have a logo contest. Basically, we are in need of a flashy symbol, a promising graphical thingamajig, something that gives hope to all our readers out there. You can submit as many as you like, and we are going to pick the best one on August 1, 2008. The logo will be used on flyers, ads, t-shirt, stickers and all that sort of stuff. Some good references would be Prince’s Symbol(if this was the website formerly known as Old-Wizard) or the FBI symbol. Something simple. The winner will have our un-dying graitude, big shout outs on the site, and a prize pack.

  Aries:
  
  That’s crazy, Aries! You sound like air but you’re a fire sign, CRAZY! You’re also a sheep but you were born to lead, THAT’S CRAZY TOO! In fact, just about everything about you is crazy. If I were you I would lead parades, because you get to twirl that sparkle stick and wear the British police hat, and that’s CRAZY! You know what parade I like? The Saint Patrick’s Day parade. One time I was there with my grandfather and he gave me a dollar to buy a balloon on a stick, but they cost way more than a dollar, right? So I bought those poppers that are like tissues with gun powder in them and threw them at the firemen and horses. One of the fire men had to have a talk with my grandpa and then we had to leave the parade, but I got to go have corned beef and cabbage in a room filled with guns because my gramps was in the war. That was crazy, JUST LIKE YOU ARIES! So take my advice and don’t go throwing stuff at horses or you’ll end up watching my gramps get krunk in the basement of the armory.

• Top 10 Most Powerful Superheroes of All Time

  Here it is folks, the biggest debate on the whole interweb. Never has there been a more well thought out argument for a completely non-existent thing. Which superhero could beat up which other superhero. Never has a group of people spent more time drawing graphs, doing calculations, making charts, and writing computer programs to prove that the hero they love is in fact the toughest. These people do more literature searches than a graduate student writing their dissertation on literature. One can only imagine what world problems could be solved if comic book nerds would instead focus this same energy on say; poverty, healthcare, the climate, pollution, the economy, childhood obesity, cancer, sudden infant death syndrome, racism, genetic disorders, violence against women, the melting ice caps, sending a man to mars, depression, solving Goldbach’s conjecture, creating a unified field theory, un-raveling the mystery of DNA, figuring out what happened before the big bang, resolving religious tensions in the Middle East, finding peace on Earth, making cleaner cars, sustainable energy, nuclear fission, getting rid of hippies, and the million other things that would make this world a better place to live in.

  Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve been able to get to your questions, but as some of you know, I’ve been pretty busy with work. Hopefully things will be slowly down now, and I should be able to answer some more later in the week.

• Top 10 Worst Video Game Heroes of All Time

  The video game world has prided itself on it’s inordinate wealth of protagonists. Gamers would become attached to games solely on the personality of the protagonists. Somewhere along the line though, video game makers started creating heroes that were less than desirable for the game player to control. The gamer was confused on how these “heroes” were even able to make it past the designer’s desk.

• Board Game Review: Candyland

  Plumpy. Mr. Mint cutting down candy canes with a candy cane axe. Lord Licorice and the gingerbread house! Finally meeting Queen Frostine floating in the Ice Cream Sea before kneeling down to the all mighty King Kandy. Any of these fabled characters and places ring a bell? They sure do if you were tripping on acid and happened to wander through the psychedelic Candyland.
