Megafan, who is one of the first readers I ever got, is a super awesome kid. I’ve been saying this for a while. His latest post on the forums, however, has provided him a meteoric rise to superstardom, resulting in this blog post. Yeah!

The above picture is just super awesome. I think the best part is making “Game Fuel” the favorite food, considering I’ve never even mentioned how much I love it, it’s just the alt text of my picture on the “About” page.

The next picture is even better. I’m posting it after the jump for suspense and maximim hilarious effect!

Hey all! We’re back with another podcast. I apologize for the lack of updates this past week, but honestly, without our Wii I’ve been kinda bummed out and couldn’t think of anything to write about. Sorry!

Tonight we talk about the Mother series, the namesake of PK Bloggin’!. Christina is a huge fan, and she introduced me to the series, so I let her take the lead on this one. She’s shy and cute and got a little flustered, so she’s afraid you won’t like it. So everyone be nice!

EarthBound, released for the Super NES in 1995, is the very definition of a cult classic. Plenty of games have a strong fan following, but I can’t think of any other game that has a group of fans that are as passionate and dedicated as EarthBound does. Their love for the game, and the series as a whole, is so genuine and so deep, it’s a spectacular testament to creator Shigesato Itoi’s ability to strike a very personal chord with every player with his masterful storytelling.

Many of today’s EarthBound fans are in their mid to late 20s, having played the game for the first time when they were young. I’ve seen a few people on message boards talk about how playing through EarthBound once a year has been a tradition for them since the first time they booted it up.

I love EarthBound, as you can probably gather from the name and layout of the blog. It’s in my top 10 games of all time. Unlike many other fans, though, I don’t have fond memories of buying the game in 1995 and marveling at its giant box. I didn’t get to smell the scratch and sniff cards that came with the strategy guide. I don’t have the Mach Pizza Air Freshener. I didn’t play EarthBound when I was a kid. I didn’t get to play it until I was 24.
