Chrissy Murderbot is a busy dude. Last year he released a new mixtape every week, covering nearly every genre in electronic music you could Beatport – and others you can’t.

This past Friday, I had the distinct pleasure of chatting with Shigeru Miyamoto about Mario and the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros:
“As the technology has improved, you see the different ways that we implement Mario have changed. I think that has had a big impact on how we kept him fresh…He is always fresh because he is coming out using whatever is new within the system that we developed.
“He moves along in the same rhythm, same beat, as the evolution of digital technology.”
After the interview, the translator told me that Mr. Miyamoto had a non-gaming question he wanted to ask, namely “Where did you get that stylish hat?” Of course, I gave them the address of the shop, which did happen to be in Manhattan. I hope they all got themselves handsome chapeaus.
