Exactly what are you on about now? If you're ignorant, that's one thing, but don't expect everyone else to be.

It's not exactly a staple game.

EM: I'm not saying they should just take out the yo-yos. I'm just saying I wouldn't care if they did.

Maybe I was a little less serious than you?

I wonder if anyone would care/know about Earthbound if Bird Person didn't bring it here...

I beat EarthBound long before Bird Person registered or anything.

I believe I beat EarthBound in 1998.

Yeah, really. I mean, I only first played it what, two years ago?

I probably wouldn't care about Earthbound if it weren't for Smash Bros.

Because everybody who played and liked it is somehow looked upon as a "fringe" gamer.

That's how I got into EarthBound too. I was wondering where this "Ness" fellow came from. Somehow in the back of my mind I always knew about EarthBound, but I needed to play Super Mario RPG before I actually liked RPGs. After that, I was looking back for RPGs I'd like... and since I didn't like the whole fantasy theme, EarthBound's modern setting seemed right. Maybe it was the newspaper-style preview and the "This game stinks" stickers that made me remember it. Along with a screenshot of Ness digging through a trash can to find a hamburger.

And since it took me ages to beat EarthBound (okay, 3 weeks), I wasn't thinking about any other SNES RPGs I might be interested in playing, until a friend introduced me to them.

Although I like EarthBound and Mother 3, I don't consider them to be the best RPGs ever made, and I usually go to other RPGs when given the choice. But they're a safe bet when you want an old-style RPG... be prepared to level grind like crazy though.

That last sentence pretty much proves that you don't play many RPGs. Excluding EB0, the other two move at a relatively brisk pace, not Mario RPG brisk, but brisk nonetheless.

brisk.

EarthBound was made to prevent grinding. Save for a bit before the Peaceful Rest Valley, EB really doesn't require it.

For a successful suit, the party holding the trademark must prove in court that the other party's use of said trademark infringes upon the trademark holder's ability to sell the trademarked product or service. Use as a minor item (the yo-yo) or as the base of a pun (the Hand-aid) hardly qualifies for this purpose.

Band-aid's suck! Hand-aids are much better. I'm going to buy them off ebay.

I'm planning on getting the original game anyway, as I don't need the hassle of buying online/filling up the Wiifridgerator (but I wouldn't mind the glory of owning the original game). Also, I'm sure they'll censor the crap out of it.
