Mother 3
I've been playing Mother 3 again, I don't know why. I've already played through it twice, but this time I decided to use the English translation by spookychee on GameFAQ's. Actually, the first two playthroughs were with no translation at all, just a rough idea of the storyline with a little imagination added. This way is much better, to play it with the translation. Even though it's not the translation patch, it's OK. I guess I'm just getting impatient with waiting for the English translation patch that Tomato and others from Starmen.net are working on. Of course, I'll definitely play it once, twice, three times, well jeez, probably 50 times with the English translation patch, but I just felt like playing it again recently.
I'm on chapter 7 already, about 20 hours into the game. God, it still amazes me. It still makes me so happy, sad, melancholy I guess... to play the game. Playing it with the translation is so awesome. Knowing what someone is saying makes it a completely different game. It's hard to believe that I had actually played it completely in Japanese, not knowing a lick of what they were saying before.
I love Mother3. I love Shigesato Itoi. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
If you haven't played it, you should. Just try to. When the patch comes out, play it.. That is, if you're an English speaker.
On the other hand, if you're Japanese, play it in Japanese. You won't regret it. It's not that long of a game. It's not that hard to get through, even on low levels. If you're experienced at RPGs you'll fly through it, but even if you're not, you'll still make it through with little to no trouble at all.
Just play it!! For me??? It's like, a greatest hits game now in Japan. Not sure of the term they use there, but you can buy it on Play-Asia.com now for $14.90 USD. That's super cheap. You should just play it.
If you don't wanna buy it, just download the rom at least. In fact, play EarthBound first. If you haven't played EarthBound... well then I don't know what. But, if you want to understand me at all, you have to play EarthBound. That game influenced every aspect about my personality to this day. Everything that I'm interested in, everything I say, my sense of humor ... Just play it. It's an amazing game. If you think games like Final Fantasy 7 and Chrono Trigger are amazing, try EarthBound if you haven't. It's better, WAY better than those games... In my opinion. But, even if you don't think it's the best game ever after playing it, you will rank it up there with those games, I promise.
And if not, I'm sorry but you have no taste in games. Sad, but true.

Another Update!
I haven't had enough time to update lately, but I got a free moment before bed tonight to write a little something.
First I'll start off with some personal things, if you care. If not, skip over this next paragraph.
I've been really busy with work lately. I'm trying to organize an event for my store to create hype about it. I was thinking about doing an anime focused event, with a video game tournament. Probably Super Smash Bros. Melee since everyone is so excited about Brawl and everyone loves SSBM anyway. I broke my car. I ran it out of gas one day while on my lunch break, and ever since then it just dies whenever I try to drive it. I had it towed to a shop and it should be fixed by tomorrow. It's costing me $338! Well, I can't be too mad, since it's my own fault. I feel like an idiot.
I filmed a new video about the video game Rainbow Islands: The Story Of Bubble Bobble 2. I was editing it on iMovie, and we had a thunderstorm. All of my progress was erased. I had it down to 11 minutes from the 2 hour long raw video. I'm really sore about that. Really. To be honest with you though, I'm not even so sure I want to finish it. I might just save it for another time. I really don't like the video. I want to make another one really soon though. Maybe I'll make one tomorrow after work if I have time. There are lots of things I want to talk about. It might not be a game review/preview. It might be about something else video game related like the current gen war. I have my own opinions about that.
Because of my current self-inflicted financial situation I don't have any money to buy video games right now. That's the worst part, because there are a lot of video games I want. This guy named John that trades games and talks about rare/import games with me traded in Ultraman on the PS2 today. It's an import game, and it looks really fun. He also showed me his copy of Fist of the North Star for PS2, that looks like a ton of fun too. I wish I had an import PS2 or modified PS2. I have a modified XBOX... Hey!! I know! Maybe I can find some import XBOX games! But... Most of the import games I want to play are on the PS2..
This is nothing new, but really important to me. The latest Soul Calibur IV news, Yoda and Darth Vader being in the game. I guess they are going to be console specific, but I'm not sure who will be on which console. Not that I care too much though, because I don't want to play with either of them. I will still play with Xianghua provided she's still in the game. I don't see why she wouldn't be. I'm so ready for that game to come out though. I'm going to be playing it online so much, so I'll be posting my gamertags and stuff all over the place looking for opponents. If you think you're something, give me a shot and we'll see where we stand. I've been pretty serious about Soul Calibur for a long time so I consider myself pretty OK at it.
Actually, I have a goal for that game. I want to be in the top 20 ranking on that game online. I know it's shooting pretty high, but I think with the right amount of effort and time it's possible for me. I know this is a lot of big talk, but I'm confident in my skills at that game, especially when you get me playing lots of different players. It's different when you just play the same person over and over again, because you get so used to playing them. Lots of double KO's and stuff. I'm really excited for this game to finally be online, it's going to open up a completely different world to me when it comes to that game.
I think it's coming out in Japan first, so I'll probably import it so I can get a head start. I'm wondering if I'll be able to play Japanese people on the game. That would make things really interesting.
Well, hopefully I'll make a new video soon. I've got 60 subscribers now! That's a lot!! haha! Not really but I didn't think I would get that many to begin with :P So that's 60 people that expect me to make videos for. Now I have someone else to make videos for besides my own personal entertainment and laughs.
I guess I'm going to bed now. It's 2:30am, and I'm tired. Thanks for listening! See you guys later!! :)
