What are you playing?

[Kriven]

Still working through Paper Mario, though I also started New Super Mario Bros. 2 while I was away from the home consoles for a few days.

I get the heat on the home NSMB titles, but NSMB2 is a ton of fun and visual splendor, and I don't really feel like I'm just playing NSMB again. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite Super Mario games.

I've also been trying to speedrun Super Mario Bros. 2 to the best of my abilities. To be honest, I'd never beaten the NES version until just the other night. Best time so far is a little under twenty minutes. I need to get better with characters who aren't Peach.

Not a video game, but technically a game: I've been doing a Sudoku puzzle each night out of this book my girlfriend got me. I never realized how fun pen-and-paper games could be.
