[[2001]] - Microsoft [[Xbox]] launches in North America.


After a claim that Smash Bros.'s special moves could be taught in one sentence, I further put it in haiku form.
[[2009]] - [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]] releases in North America.


<pre>Special moves with B;
<noinclude>{{DayNav}}</noinclude>
 
combine with stick directions
 
or use it alone.</pre>

[[Perfect Strangers]] theme song, twisted.
 
Babelfish to Japanese and back, it is called Complete Others.
 
<pre>All is well in life
 
Sometimes the world looks perfect
 
Naught to rearrange
 
All's not well in life
 
Sometimes you get a feeling
 
Like change is needed
 
I will move forward
 
Probability be damned
 
Things won't block my path
 
This flame in my heart
 
Brings light to a dark street's end
 
And a long lost friend
 
Standing above all
 
Upon the wings of my dream
 
Rising and falling
 
Bear rain and thunder
 
I am bound for better days
 
Wind and haze will pass
 
Yes, this is my life
 
Nothing's gonna stop me now
 
And this is my dream</pre>

</nowiki> <pre>Carefully raise child
 
Build pool, get in, remove ladder
 
Will Wright kills again
 
Follow his commands
 
Peaceful settings hide monsters
 
Olimar: small god
 
Where were you that day?
 
Your alibi is air tight?
 
Objection! You lie!
 
Tree stumps fill the land
 
Crushed flower; rotten turnip
 
Truly a wild world
 
Simple happening
 
With a crazy bizarre twist
 
Help! Agents are go.</pre>
 
[[Animal Crossing Pioneer]]. &nbsp;These are the haiku [[Alex Fraioli|Al]] and I used to win early copies of [[Animal Crossing]] back in 2002.
 
<pre>Haiku
 
<nowiki><nowiki>-----</nowiki></nowiki>
 
Josh:
 
Twenty-four seven
 
Thee six five (or six) per year
 
Animal Crossing
 
If can't Pioneer,
 
Mario would stay in Cube;
 
Legs would atrophy!
 
<nowiki><nowiki>-----</nowiki></nowiki>
 
Alex:
 
Night and Day system
 
It sounds promising to me
 
Acting as if real
 
And when connected
 
To my small Game Boy Advance
 
Possibilities!</pre>
 
An old text file dated [[April 3]], [[2002]]. &nbsp;Note the single 5-syllable line in the middle that didn't grow into a full haiku, but I leave here for historical accuracy:
 
<pre>It's a theory.
 
Derive, backwards, integrate
 
It's fundamental.
 
Can't imagine it
 
Square root of negative one
 
But it seems to work
 
Side over sine same?
 
Two pi radius
 
Pi, radius: a great team.
 
Pi radius squared
 
Four times pi r squared
 
Pi, radius: In 3D!
 
Four thirds pi r cubed</pre>
 
Saved in old text file
 
<pre>First haiku to my GameCube controller, Thursday, October 4, 2001:
 
Over here, baby
 
You've such beautiful shoulders
 
Let me feel you up</pre>
 
I found these in an old notebook. &nbsp;They look to be something I did while passing the time around [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] launch.
 
<pre>It's Monday the twelfth
 
I can't wait for my GameCube
 
Hurry up, Sunday
 
The chair has been moved
 
The speakers are optimised
 
Now to afford it
 
Blow up the Death Star
 
Rogue Squadron, where's our cover!?
 
Factor 5, you rock.
 
Where is Mario?
 
Classic wuss meets vacuum tale
 
Luigi's Mansion
 
Two hundred dollars
 
Four controller ports standard
 
Ate into my brain
 
Flipper by ArtX
 
Gekko made by IBM
 
Controller from Shin
 
I'm so damn obsessed
 
But that's just the way I am
 
So I write haiku
 
Nintendo, my world
 
Now how to turn this knowledge
 
Into cold hard cash
 
Ant-plant-like creatures
 
Controlled by tiny spaceman?
 
Now THAT is the job
 
There's more of it all
 
Even Ice Climbers are here
 
Super Smash Brothers!
 
Hugeass controller
 
Coupled with a hugeass price
 
Poor MS Xbox</pre>
 
Same old notebook, and considering the subject matter, similar time frame
 
<pre>I crash into things
 
Hijack hijack hijack hi
 
Kiss your buildings bye</pre>

MST3K
 
Arisen like Lazarus
