The Voice of Mr Mario Bros!!!


Well I don't know if I can call that little moustache guy Mr. Mario, I think he is also a doctor... Anyway, do you know the guy that makes his voice, and the voice of Wario as well???? You can see him in this video, where he shows that characters doesn't look like the guys who make voice. If you expected a short guy with a hairy moustache, I tell you player, you're headed to a biiiiig disappointment.

I find very cool that he can double the voice as well as control the character. But as one comment says: Is that a PS2????

Founder of Rare are without a job


Rare, the same company that gave us titles such as Donkey Kong Country and Killer Instinct, was founded by the Stamper brothers. They had quite success during the period those games came out. Then Microsoft bought the company in $377 million (a lot of cash) Well, the thing is now these brothers are not working anymore for the company. Some rumors say that this happened due to the low sales of their ltest title Viva PiƱata, for the Xbox 360.

I really feel bad when things such as this happens. And even more bad, when I see it is very common in big companies. I can say, that I would hate being fired from the same company I helped build. But well, some might say, this is the way businesses works.
