Mario is 25 years old. I’m totally older than him, but I don’t get a fancy 25th Anniversary commemorative release, he does. That’s ok, he deserves it after all that trouble he goes to rescuing Peach over and over and over again. What a trooper. The lovely looking Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition box set was initially a Japan-only …

Yesterday saw the local launch of Apple’s latest technolust generating gadget, the iPhone 4, with both MTN and Vodacom throwing huge parties to commemorate the event.
