Sunday 10 March 2019

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-3-2019: Mario.

20th March, 2019.


Yes … it’s a Sunday … 

And frankly?

It’s looking like it’s going to be something of a quiet one.

Well … 

I’m not planning on doing much, I know that much … 

Bar the usual: house work, jobhunting, making videos …

Those … and the usual panicked, last minute, reorganising of finances!

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Debbi* putting in her answers: scoring four out five in the process.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video …

Q2) Mario originally appeared in an arcade game called what?
Q3) Mario next appeared in Mario Bros: which is set in which city’s sewers?
Q4) Who’s Mario’s brother?
Q5) Finally … ?   Mario, and the games he’s in, are made by which games company … ?
Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

Mario’s opening line in Super Mario 64.
And some music …


Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.
