Post wise? Because I plan to post at least one new article, just to see if I can get the site going again until Artemendo decides to update, but I'm a bit out of ideas and I don't want to cover old ground.
So, any bit of Mario 'lore' or 'universe' you'd want an article about? What about one of the fandom, or community?

This sounds stupid, but I don't have any good ideas because I go to Waluigious to read about things I'd never thought about before in Mario. Has a post been done about remakes and reimagings of old games?

A post about how the community and fans act would be interesting.
Although I'd say the same thing as Sarisa: I go on Waluigious to read about things on the Mario series I wouldn't have thought about.

What exactly is Waluigious? How can we say what we want on it if you aren't clear what it is you are talking about?

Clive Koopa, the name Waluigious has been appearing in topics for several months now, and as you might have noticed by the reactions of the other members, they know what it is. Basically, Waluigious is www.waluigious.com . A blog about Mario. The official partner blog to this forum! On the chance that you meant your question more metaphorically, here's a metaphorical answer: sites.google.com/a/waluigious.com/plus/about |

No, Clive's an old member who just recently returned. He hasn't played many of the new Mario games. Waluigious probably wasn't around when he was a "regular" here.

That's right. I haven't seen any topics what mention Waluigious either when I was here before I left or recently when I have returned. I haven't played many of the new Mario games other than some DS ROMs and a few Wii games down my cousin's house.

To answer the topic creator's question, the suspense is what I like about Waluigious. So I say almost anything relevant to the Mario universe.
What new Mario games are you talking about, Clive?

Maybe something about the Yoshis... some conspiracy theory that talks about Yoshi slavery... besides that I've got nothing.

Can you think of anything DKCR relevant? Like maybe a bit on the Tiki's past...

Sadly we don't know much about the Tikis' past outside of "they came from the volcano". The totems in the Forest seem to be related to them, too, so maybe this can be analyzed. Also, the Kalimba Tiki doesn't really make much of a kalimba sound at all, I found that weird. All the other Tikis very clearly have their instruments on top of the melody, but the kalimba is only there if you're really trying to hear a kalimba.

Holy abundance of videos, Batman! When I return to writing posts in mid-February (estimate), I will make sure to write text-only stuff to offset this. This is becoming Waluvideous.
But, this is long and I love how you mentioned basically all of the villains. Did you make the Shake King picture yourself? That's impressive. So many tropes!
This is so long, though, that I'm having trouble finding a single point to reply to. I can only say that I agree with most of your evaluations. Why the hack videos, though? Even not very related ones?

This is so long, though, that I'm having trouble finding a single point to reply to. I can only say that I agree with most of your evaluations. Why the hack videos, though? Even not very related ones? Apologies for the videos, it's just I got a bit carried away with cool videos related to the villains, so put in all the cool advert videos and stuff I could find. Then looked at the related list on Youtube, saw something else that was relevant, added that... etc. I did make the Shake King picture myself. Took a while, but it's evidence of TV Tropes ruining my life, because the mere thought of the villain brought up the memory of a trope list. They should put his picture on the villains category (or the evil one?) and say 'your standard villain looks like this guy'. You could almost see him in a Disney movie singing a catchy song about how he's evil. Why the hack videos, though? Even not very related ones? For evidence of a point. The first one is to prove fans have made better bosses than the Black Jewel, and that the boss was the laziest design known to man. Basically, the boss is even boring and looks more fake than the clunky layer 2 bosses certain Japanese hacks use. The second one is a joke comparison of how Terrormisu's boss battle is more confusing and nonsensical than a ROM hack boss meant to be nonsensical. |

*Looks at article comments*
Apparently there just has to be SOMEONE online who takes offence at a Fox News joke.
But to stop reading a twenty page article because I mocked the same kind of news source twice, despite only having read less than half of it? I'm sorry, that's called over reacting.

Okay, I just took the time to sit down and read the article cover-to-cover, and there's 2 things I gotta say.
1. Everything on this page. Everything.
2. It's not, "Look at you, everything?" It's actually, "Greed will get you everything."

It's true there didn't have to be 4 or 5 videos just for Bowser.

True, there didn't... but I like much of Bowser's boss music.
I'm curious to what text based articles Artemendo will be writing after this though, he did say he wanted more textual stuff to cancel out how many of the articles are filled with videos.
And is Mario Thoughts dead or something?

Off-topic:
I started reading all Waluigious articles. I started yesterday, I went to bed at 5 a.m., the very first thing I did after waking up was opening my laptop and continuing to read. It's the best reading I've ever had.
Do you want me to make a topic with all theme musics for each characters ? And why not a list of facts about them ?
