The Rollercoaster of Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Triumphs and Trial

Diving into the remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong has been a captivating journey back into the world of a classic puzzle platformer. The game, a faithful recreation of the original, which Jupiter owns, has provided countless hours of engaging gameplay. Its jazzy soundtrack adds a delightful backdrop to the puzzle-solving antics, enhancing the overall experience.

Progressing through the game, I found myself equally challenged and charmed by its clever level designs. Reaching perfect completion on each level up to World 8 was a testament to both skill and perseverance. World 8, however, marked a significant spike in difficulty, demanding as much time and effort as the first four or five worlds combined. The intricate puzzles and obstacles tested my limits, presenting a formidable barrier to the end credits.

The real surprise came after overcoming the arduous challenges of World 8. As the end credits rolled, I was met with the revelation of three additional 'expert' worlds, an unexpected extension of the game. Initially, this discovery should have been exhilarating, a reward for my efforts and a chance to dive deeper into the game's intricacies. However, the mental fatigue from World 8 cast a shadow of exasperation over this newfound opportunity.

Despite the daunting prospect, I pressed on, diving into the expert worlds. To my surprise, I found these levels somewhat easier than anticipated, a curious twist after the grueling ordeal of World 8. Yet, the shadow of World 8 lingered, dampening the joy and excitement I typically feel when uncovering more content to explore.

In retrospect, my journey through Mario vs. Donkey Kong has been a blend of highs and lows, of triumphs and trials. World 8, with its challenging levels, served as both a pinnacle of achievement and a source of exhaustion. It's a reminder of the complex emotions gaming can evoke—frustration, satisfaction, and sometimes, a wistful longing for the simplicity of earlier levels.

Kid on a Leash

Has anyone seen these kid leash products around? Sometimes I see them at the zoo, farmers market, or other crowded areas. If a company can make a product that will make a parent feel a little bit safer, there will always be people out there to buy it. When I see one, it reminds me of that scene in Rise of the Planet of the Apes when a leashed Caesar sees a dog on a leash and turns to Will and signs, "Am I a pet?" The idea of the product is that it will keep the child safe and nearby. It is designed to subside the fear that a child will run off or get abducted. I think that if someone is out to abduct a child during the few seconds when a parent is looking away, a leash is a very small deterrent, and likely, not effective. All the abductor would need is a nice pair of scissors or simply their fingers. The latch cannot be that hard to work. If anything, having a leash might give a parent a false sense of security causing them to pay less attention to the child. In that case it

The Poky Little Puppy

Sometimes Jupiter likes to read the classic Golden Book tale, The Poky Little Puppy before bed or nap time. This is another of many children's stories where the intended moral of the story seems to have been surpassed by a message that, I think, conveys the nearly the opposite message. The Poky Little Puppy is a story about five little puppies who dig a hole under the fence to go out for a walk in the wide, wide world. The fifth, poky, puppy is always behind the others. Eventually the poky little puppy smells the dessert that is prepared for the puppies each night. The four other puppies smell it too and hurry home while the poky puppy takes his time. The four puppies then eat their dinner and are scolded by their mother for digging a hole under the fence with the punishment being that they do not get dessert. Then along comes the poky puppy after everyone is asleep. He is met with no dinner but left over dessert, since the four puppies were not able to eat it. This scenario takes
