In order to celebrate completing the Tattle Log (read: enemy bestiary) in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, I thought I'd write it out for you. Obviously spoilers, so don't look if you ever plan to complete this game. I've even included the Japanese names of the enemies too, because I'm just awesome like that. 1. Goomba Japanese Name: Kuribō (Roughly "Chestnut People", derived from "kuri", meaning "chestnut") Location: Various Max HP: 2 Attack: 1 Defense: 0 Description: The underling of underlings. No other distinguishing characteristics. 2. Paragoomba Japanese Name: Patakuribō (From "pata", an onomatopoeia for a flapping sound, and kuribō, Goomba's Japanese name) Location: Various Max HP: 2 Attack: 1 Defense: 0 Description: A Goomba with wings. Can't reach it with a hammer while it's in the air, but once it's damaged, its wings get clipped. It's kind of sad, really. 3. Spiky Goomba Japa

Give yourself up to me

So, remember that thing I did before where I wrote how the levels in Sonic Adventure 2 would be pronounced if they were written in katakana? Well, now I'm taking my obsession to a new level by doing the same thing with the islands in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Yes, all of them. Pray for me.
