@TriforceBun

Haha. The perfect response!

@Secret_Tunnel

That's awesome! I half expected them to force the user to take it down, so I'm thrilled that they're actually promoting it. It still needs more views, though.

@r_hjort

Yeah, a couple of parts got me, too. Especially the ending, and when Paula hugged Ness.

@NoName

I just watched this video, it's awesome!

I have now permanently marked myself as an EarthBound fan:

@chrisbg99
Permanent marker, you say? Would have been cooler if it was a tattoo.

Nah but seriously, that's awesome!

@chrisbg99

Pretty cool, indeed. Though, you've marked yourself an enemy! Of course, once your hair grows back, you can go... undercover. Haha.

While I'm not a tattoo kind of person, I've always thought if ever I were to get one, I'd get EB's version of the blue marble.

@chrisbg99

I just realized that the tattoo is placed where that symbol appears on the Starmen too. Haha, that's neat!

@Hero_Of_Hyrule

Yep though technically the insignia on Starmen takes up a good 25% of the chest.



Though mine is also inspired by the Starman hoodie I got from Fangamer a few years back in location and size.

@chrisbg99

Fangamer is awesome. I got most of my shirts from there, but somehow missed that jacket. Now I'm tempted to check at the price on it.

@chrisbg99

Whoa, I want that hoodie

*finally gets @chrisbg99's pic*

Ditto, where'd you get that business? I want one too! So that I can tell people to not underestimate us. *whirr*

fangamer.com Pretty great place.

Thought this Japanese box art was pretty awesome:

@Jargon

Nice! I love those shops. Such a haven of Nintendo history. I had to pick up Mother 2 myself when I was in Japan...it was my souvenir.

And it's still cheaper than EarthBound, so...

I have a copy of Mother 2 that I bought at MAGFest in 2014. No box but having the loose cart is cool.

Finished this the other day, as I got it as a Club Nintendo award. I wound up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. I liked the scale of the world and felt that the stakes were high, even though a lot of the game is kind of vague. Still, it feels very perilous. This game gets a lot trippier and creepier than I thought it would. I liked the gameplay though I thought some of its Dragon Quest influence showed a little too much. I felt like it was a huge pain whenever one of my party members got knocked out. I think it took a little too long to learn some sort of revive spell.

All in all I enjoyed it a lot. I think If you're the kind of person that will try to make sense of every little thing in the game, it may not be for you. I definitely had fun with it.

@PogueSquadron The English translation gets a little sloppy towards the end, and so there actually are plot details that have been lost in translation. So if the stuff near and at the end seem a little confusing, there literally are pieces of it missing.

I was okay with the limited ways of revival, because it makes the rolling HP gimmick more prominent and important. It certainly allows for some tense moments when a character is hit with a strong blow, and you have to hurry up and heal them before the HP counter rolls down to 0. If there were easy ways of revival then stopping the meter from reaching 0 would matter a lot less.

I think I'd have to agree, but I always wish the hospital would've just healed everyone. Sometimes it was too far from the hotel and was kind of a chore.

EarthBound turns 20 today! Happy anniversary to (still) one of my top ten games of all time! To celebrate, I took a photograph with my geeky collection:

@TriforceBun
Unbox him.... Unbox himmmmmm....
Unless you're holding back its evil Mani Mani powers.

Awesome stuff, man! I dig the Runaway 5 shirt.
