Episode XCI: EarthBoundin

New EpisodeAnother Friday, another episode. This week WK and myself discussed last week’s episode, an email we got that makes absolutely no sense, our musical abilities (or inability),zombies and our plans to thwart them, and of course the gaming treasure that is Earthbound. Shenanigans ensue. Lots of shenanigans.

While our discussion of Earthbound isn’t necessarily funny, it does bring up some interesting points on vidja game legaletry. If a company isn’t willing to provide or release a game, should you be able to download it? After all the cartridges are region locked so you can’t just buy them from Japan. Thoughts? COMMENTS NOW!!!

Oh look. Here’s a link to the ROM for EarthBound. Wow who put that there. I should really delete that. Maybe some other time though. I’ve got EarthBound to finish.

This week’s youtube vidja is very special. You’re about to see the unrealeased beta footage for EarthBound 64. This game never made it past the beta stages, and was later remade into the GBA game Mother 3. Almost everything in this trailer made it into the finished version of Mother 3 and I’m dying to play it. You’d think with all the publicity Lucas got from Smash Bros Brawl they’d get right on that. That one’s next on my playlist.

Poll Changed to Alleviate Whining

Due to the fact that people didn’t want to admit that there’s a distinction between fantasy and reality, I’ve changed the poll. The answer No now follows with “They never took swim class.” Yes the joke sucks. I wouldn’t have to use it if you would’ve stopped complaining!

Can Zombies Swim?

Science is a mystery wrapped in a enigma. It is to us anyway. That’s why we need your help settling this matter once and for all. A while back we pondered whether zombies could swim. Then we got distracted by something shiny on the ceiling. It’s up to you guys to settle this matter once and for all.
