I Finally Beat Super Mario Bros.!

          I've been playing through Super Mario Bros., All Stars Edition, for the last two or three weeks and I finally beat it today! This is my first time ever beating it. 8-3 was giving me such a hard time with all those hammer brother. I was trying to get past that stage for the better part of a week. I beat the Lost Levels two ago and decided to try the original now. Yay. Later I'll Super Mario Bros. 2, but now I'm satisfied.

UPDATE 1 (11/2/12): Video added below

Castella In Theory 2: The Worst Of Derek Russell

This ^ has nothing to do with that v

          Kept you waiting, huh? Well, 14 months later I am finally done with the second story in Castella In Theory: The Worst Of Derek Russell (We Always But We Never). The story is a 44 page character drama about high school delinquent Derek Russell. The format is PDF. Please comment on it, good or bad. If you like it tell a friend. If there are still any lingering grammatical errors (which there are most likely one or two) please tell me and I will fix it and put up a revised PDF. Thank you, God bless, I can’t believe I’m done, please read and enjoy! The file is below. Hit the jump!

UPDATE 1 (6/23/11): The site that host the PDF. file is currently down. Sorry. I'm looking for a solution.

UPDATE 2: I put the story up on Wordpress (with added fixes) Click the Solution!> link to read or download.

UPDATE 3 (6/27/11): Apparently 250free.com is gone for good, so the first link is also gone for good as well as several other things I put up that were stored on that site. Good news, I already put up the Wordpress link, so I'm just going to delete the other one so there won't be any confusion. Also, I'm putting up the PDF. versions of the first story, Follow My Lead, here too! Fixes have been added, though I purposely kept one mistake. Find them right under the new story's link.

UPDATE 4: Just to show you guys how far the story has come and how much I did in polishing and editing I'm uploading the horrible Tenth Draft. This is what I based PEP I on.

UPDATE 5 (6/28/11): I added a slew of fixes to the story today, so I am re-uploading it. The Solution!> link is now new and improved.

UPDATE 6 (9/2/11): The contest is over.

UPDATE 7 (10/26/11): Minor fixes to format and story.

UPDATE 8 (11/11/11): Minor fixes.

UPDATE 9 (2/29/12):  Minor fixes.

UPDATE 10 (3/5/12):  Added download links to the soundtrack.

UPDATE 11 (11/16/12): Printed, softcover book version now available! Click here.

UPDATE 12 (5/10/13): The Soundtrack had to be taken down.

Finally Finished: Polishing and Contest Holding

            Hey, guys, Vahsol here. I’ve done it- I finally- become- a summoner. I’ve finished writing the story and heading into the polishing phase. But that’s not all that important. What is, is I’m now officially announcing the reference contest for the story. Here’s the quick version: The story is packed with references to movies, music, games, and a few other things. The person who correctly gives me the most references wins the big prize. To send me the reference simply sent them to my e-mail agncolem@aol.com with ‘Reference Contest’ in the subject line. Include your name. Don’t put answers in the comment. That’s it in a nutshell. For more detail please refer the complet rundown after the break (Also, screw these editing tools).
