Nebbles' Let's Play!

[Nebbles]

Here we go! EarthBound!

[K-NiGhT]

I have excite!

[FSM-Reapr]

I have excite!

I am an excite truck!

[blueflower999]

I AM ENJOYING THIS SO MUCH 

Nebbles is the greatest for LPing this! You do realise that EarthBound is Chuggaa's favorite game of all time, correct?

Also, your reaction to the Photographer. XDDD

[Nebbles]

Yeah, I know that. Maybe he'll notice me (yeah right)

But I need to experience this greatness myself! I did watch mother 3, so it is natural to know this game...

[blueflower999]

Here's what I recommend: after finishing EarthBound, go back and watch Chuggaa's or NintendoCapriSun's Mother 3 LP. There are a TON of references to EarthBound in Mother 3 that you'll pick up on after you're done.

[Nebbles]

I'm actually in the middle of NCS' Mother 3 LP...

[blueflower999]

How's this coming along, Nebbles?  Take my pestering as a compliment rather than me just being inpatient. 

[Nebbles]

Grinding, but I should have a new ep up tomorrow!

[Nebbles]

Here we go! Episode 2!

[blueflower999]

You've been doing a really good job so far. I'll watch this tonight when I have time!

[blueflower999]

After watching, here are my comments/suggestions:

• Whenever you get to a new town in EarthBound, like in most RPGs, you ALWAYS want to go to the Drug Store/Department Store and buy the new equipment. The game expects you to have these items equiped for all your party members, and if you can't afford them, it's to your advantage to grind up some money until you can. Judging by your equips, I don't think you've been to the Onett Drug Store yet, and you really need to do that ASAP.
• The entire pupose of the Rowdy Mouse is to either get a SMAAAASH!! attack, or do 1 HP (or a very little amount) of damage. So yeah. 
• The Skip Sandwich is solely meant for moving faster in the overworld. Eating it during a battle does nothing. It's kinda like a run function, but with an item.
• Another thing you want to do whenever you get to a new town is save using the payphone in a Drug Store or the black telephone in the Hotel. EVEN IF YOU ARE USING SAVE STATES, if you don't save in a new town, you'll always respawn back where you last saved if you die. And, because this is a blind run, you might die quite a bit. So make sure you save both in the game and using save states. (An exception to this is if the game respawns you in another location because of a plot detail, but this won't happen for a while)
• The first few parts of the game tend to be the most challenging while you get used to the design of the game and the enemies. Don't worry!
• If you like being cheap in RPGs: PK Ground.

Very well done! And yes, I did laugh!

[Nebbles]

I'll keep those in mind!

My favorite part was facing Frank. "You can't throw knives at a child! That's illegal!"

[blueflower999]

It's in imitation of the boss fight with Teddy in Mother 1. Only, on Mother 1, in the English prototype, the knife was cropped out of his hand, so he's just clutching thin air.

[Nebbles]

Like those invisible guns, right?

I'll have to record again tonight so I can post episode 3 tomorrow.
