While I’m normally an uncritical devotee of all the many cultural permutations being thrown up by the internet, I have to ask: who loves The Smashing Pumpkins and the 8-bit Super Mario trilogy with such identical, passionate intensity that they feel the only way to adequately express their adoration is by creating a set of Smashing Pumpkins Super Mario mods replete with an 8-bit rendition of Ava Adore? Apparently, this man

    LOL! That Smashing Pumpkins dealy is funny! But why does Billy Corgan look like a hunched-over octogenarian in the third game? :P
