For a brand new, major metropolitan museum, this is embarrassing.

There were many more examples, but photography in the museum is frowned upon.

Brad and I stumbled upon this mini-scene from Super Mario Bros. right in front of the Art Institute. Tons of post-its strategically stapled to a telephone pole. No doubt the work of some 8-bit savvy students.

I'm a total sucker for Mario titles and Super Paper Mario didn't let me down. The 2-D to 3-D flipping was lots of fun and although it was pretty easy, I enjoyed every minute of it.

But now flat Mario has left a gaping void in my soul which desperately needs filling. With what though? Pokémon Diamond perhaps?

It's in my DS, and with only 20 Pokémon in my Pokédex and a level 21 Monferno at the top of that heap, it looks like I've got a long way to go in Sinnoh.
