Eva was playing Zelda as I walked in yesterday

[conuly]

Specifically, she was rescuing Yunobo. That is one catchy tune!

But very noticeable and not entirely like the rest of the atmospheric background music I've heard in this game. As we came around to the gongs* again, I asked "So... what's up with this music?"

Jenn: It's abandoned mine music.
Me: That explains it.
Eva: I love how you're pretending that makes sense.
Me: What are you talking about? I'm not pretending.

Eva's right. The music doesn't scream "abandoned mine".

You're right, it does.

Anyway, then she went and helped build Tarrytown for a while, fetching lots of people (all with names ending in -son...) and wood and organizing a wedding. Because this is the important thing to do. The big boss will just spin his wheels while you do all the petty side quests, right? Definitely won't take over the world until you get there, because he just has to see the look on your face! (Besides, that wouldn't be playing fair, now would it?)

* Bells? Deep chimes? Not sure what to call it, honestly.

Did Earthbound allow that? I honestly didn't think it did since you had to leave your meat to put your souls into robots at the end.

Man, speaking of games I wish there were more sequels for.

It sure does, and there are some fun new things you can do, too!

And yes - what a game. I would love a good sequel, too.

Man, I'm going to have to get back into it then!

Did you play the emulator for Mother 3? It's sadly the only way to get it over here translated. It's also lost a lot of the "fun" of the original since it's much more serious, but it has a lot of interesting parts about it.

Still waiting to see if that fanmade game ever gets finished. I'm sure it will and at the rate it's going, I'm sure it will give me something to occupy me while my kids tell me I'm too old to drive my hovercar, ha!

[rebeccmeister]

I haven't played the emulator - hmm, I should look for it! And I hadn't followed news about the fangame, either, but I'll be right there with you whilst not driving my hovercar!
