About the Mario series and philosophy or something? I already know of a few self published/vanity published books of this kind (one was a fake archaeology dig of a fallen Mushroom Kingdom, like published fan fiction), and they do this a lot with other series. I've got books called 'The Simpsons and Philosophy', 'The Matrix and Philosophy' and 'Batman and Philosophy' as inspiration, and I possibly could make some decent length essays and what not using the Mario series as either the basis for either in story questioning or to examine if characters fit moral virtues, etc.
I dunno, it sounds like an interesting idea, and I wrote some articles along those lines in my blog.

You got it from that excavation thing, didn't you >_>.
I've written many short stories on my spare time. I wrote one about Giga Bowser, Chin(g) Hwa, etc.
Chin(g) Hwa is a series of mine composed of random parts of the world.

But if you are serious Cheat, do some research (play video games) and look at theories of timelines and such.
The more you know the more enjoyable the book will be. Add a decent plot, a funny character, some vodka, and a few other things and your ready top go.

Cheat, I mean no disrespect, but thats a stupid question.
Now I have a question for YOU.
Do YOU think you can?
All you need is determination.
You have to tell yourself, I CAN AND I WILL!
You can do it if your determined.
You have nothing to prove to people.
You know yourself more than any one else.
You only have yourself to ask.

I think you have the qualities to publish a book. But what you really need is insperation. Everything depends on insperation, determination, and hope. You'll also have to do some research on what you would write about. Something as of a Mario series and philosophy book would be a little difficult if you have nothing to base off of. However, if you do (I already know you do) have something to base from it would be quite simple and easy to wisp through. Always do a second Edit and Revision time so that the book would seem quality to the reader. Also, don't do too much detail or you'll loose the readers hook into the book.

Like what everybody else has said, I too believe you'd be able to do with a little determination and the like. I know you're a good writer so it would be interesting, and Mario is one of the most well known characters in the world. I'm sure there'd be quite a few people interested in reading about it.

I believe you are more than capable of writing such a book cheatmaster. I have read several of your Mario game blogs (many of them have discussed philosophical issues) and it looks like you have what it takes.

Of course? Quite honestly cheat, you can take all the blogs/rants you ever made and turn them into an As-long-as-a-Harry Potter-book.
FYI, my 1337 post. I have now won this topic.

Thanks guys. The challenge now is trying to write articles at about the ten page length mark at minimum.

Well, I'm sure if you just keep facing towards the goal, you'll reach it without a doubt.

You could make a Mario and Philosophy book, and/or you could make a collection of your blogs and submit them as essays, but then why just not write Mario and Philosophy and include a section with your blogs? Or you could just incorporate them into the main story. Well, not trying to write a book for you, but as for your question, I think you are plenty capable.
