A quick post today, kids. How many of you out there pre-ordered Mario Galaxy? Specifically, how many of you pre-ordered from the GameStop/EB Games syndicate? If you did, you probably got a phone call today from the plumber himself. Today, during my 2:30 break at my full-time job, I got a mysterious phone call on the cell. Upon answering I discover its-a Mario, calling me to say thanks for purchasing his new game, and reminding me not to forget to pick it up at GameStop. He mentioned that he really enjoys traveling around the galaxy. He also really digs his new Bee Suit. I’d stick around to tell you more about the message — but c’mon. Galaxy is waiting to be played.

And Mario, you’re totally welcome. Thanks for providing a new game for me to buy.
