In case any of you are wondering...

I'm still alive, and your regular "Everything's Better With..." will return soon...ish.
Meanwhile, enjoy first the generator-created excuse (courtesy of aussiebloggers):
Goodness Gracious I just remembered I have not updated this since last month... You would not believe my anguish at my misdoings. I prostrate myself in sorrow and beg thy forgiveness..

I am tied up with work, hoping you haven't found other blogs, just generally being a companion to my cats, my day seems to be packed from dawn to well after sun-down. I am not complaining though. life happens.

I swear on the bones of my ancestors I will make more of an effort to blog more often. Well, I'll try. What do you mean you don't believe me?.


And after the break, what really happened. (It isn't any better, by the way.)

Legend of Zelda is worse with...

Hello everyone, and welcome to this month's issue of "Everything's Worse With...". It's so great to see how many of you out there still resist the lure of the "Rule of Cool" as an excuse to screw with movies, games and TV shows. 

Today, we'll be looking at Legend of Zelda and why it's fine just the way it is.

Shakespeare is better with...

Today I'll try a diff'rent form of post,
And ask you kindly bear the try with me
As I attempt to write in polish'd verse
What else'd be as free and plain prose written,
Though hard's the fight with iambs and stress and feet
And language jumps from old to new and back.
The cause, my dearest friends, you may have guess'd
From my pretentious caption -
I dare and try to do what I should not:
Try to improve the epic plays o' Shakespeare.

Super Mario is better with...

Sorry for being late with this one, and no new game or re-release or remake or anniversary edition or limited edition release of a funny little keychain to justify this, but.... today I'll mess with the classic video game, the one that started out simple and still keeps going, the game that's instantly recognizable no matter how little you might know about gaming...

No, I'm not talking about Pong.

Nor Tetris. (Yet...)

Pirates of the Caribbean is better with...

The first movie I'll be messing around with this year... can you guess it? A hint: It has pirates, sea monsters, voodoo, undead pirates...
No, I'm not talking about "Monkey Island: The Movie".
