I've had plenty of gripes about Earthbound, but I will say one thing that still impresses me with it is the sound. The music is completely unique and absolutely delightful. And even the sound effects... stuff like Pokey knocking on the door. Even by today's standards its still so good.

The game just ooooooooooozes the type of personality Nintendo has COMPLETELY LOST since the 1990's...

In this day and age, they would NEVER do the same game, and that saddens me!

That'st the thing that I just don't get about Nintendo. As far as their hardware they take more risks than any other company. But with their software they could not possibly play it safer. How can these two things not synch up?

It certainly time for a change of the guard, so to speak.  I'm afraid the guys that I e idolized for so many years maybe holding the company back and playing it too safe.

Final tally:

  • Organ Trail
  • Surgeon Simulator 2013

I spent about $30. Not bad at all.

Hopefully, one isn't a prequel or sequel to the other!

What did they taste like?

I've been playing Bioshock infinite (finished) and warhammer 40K space marine!  I have no idea what I'll be playing next.  Maybe... MAYBE... Red Dead Redeption Zombie or Borderlands 2.

It was virtual reality so I couldn't taste them obviously. There were a lot of dandelion seeds floating around; couldn't feel them on my skin because once again: virtual reality.

That explains a lot about you....

But as sex ed it does have some important things down pat. Was condomless sex with the prostitute fatal then as well?

I've jokingly said this, but between this game series and the tv show The Golden Girls I pretty much learned everything I needed to.

Oh and yes condomless sex was a death sentence, but in reality you had about 35 minutes to get your affairs in order before you died.

It did in point and click VGA remake of Larry too. In fact, this remake from what I understand leans heavily on that remake.

I think it's technically a remake of the remake rather than the original (IGN got a lot of pissed off comments for getting which one it was a remake of wrong)...which was sort of a remake of Softporn Adventures anyway.

If you were so inclined, you could read my review here.
