This week's mailbag topic:

Random letters, with Mii`shal.

We have a special TREAT for this Mailbag. We have a co-mailbag answerer type person! This week it's Mother 2 section maintainer, Mii`shal! Gape in awe as we answer every letter as sanely as our brains will allow. I'm not sure if I'll have a co person every week since everyone I ask always refuses. So we'll see. It was another random week, so here we go!

The AoE entries were funny! (By the way, thanks for FINALLY printing something by me.) The people who make them obviously have been through EarthBound several times. A good mailbag topic next week: Now that EBFGPS01 has wrapped up, what did you miss or complete? Send completed challange bragging here!

Since I am a lazy burnt out teenager, I appreciate the topic, and will use it!

... uhh... who is Reidman?



I don't know. One of Xod's experiments gone WRONG.

- EBounding



REID IS EVERYTHING AND NOTHING. REID WATCHES YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP AND FOLLOWS YOU WHILE YOU ARE AWAKE. REID IS LISTENING WHEN YOU TALK ON THE PHONE. REID IS THE ONE HANDING YOU THE BUTTER FROM THE FRIDGE WHEN YOU MAKE A SANDWICH. AND REID IS THE ONE WHO STEALS ALL YOUR PANTS FROM THE DRAWERS IN THE NIGHT AND RUNS OFF TO SELL THEM IN MEXICO. That, and he also runs a pretty nifty website... starsomething...

I don't know about you, but yesterday I just noticed how luxurious Summers is! I mean look at their hotel! It must be four floors!!! I used to think Eagleland was a dump with thier usual hotels with only two small rooms. Why in Bob's name am I always the last to know about these things!?

-Seifer



They also have the world's best Magic Cake! Or is that a bad thing...?

- EBounding



I don't believe in Bob.

- Mii

ANY other questions or comments? OK, I have a question. Can I have one of those neat forum ranks? And $50. And can I be a webmaster? Op me! OP me!

...I'm sorry.

P.S.- when will Wampa update?



HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH! And to answer your last question, I have no idea. Did he update already or no?

It would be awesome to have the same characters on EB for GCN! I remember My friend was over and all he cares about is graphics. He was making fun of EB graphics and whenever I used PSI, he would say "oh yeah, here come the good graphics" really sarcastically. But imagine this: Ness using Rockin Omega on a 128 bit processer with cutscene-like graphics. Ahhhhhhhhh....Rockin.... I'd like to see the look on his face when he saw that!



Cutscenes get annoying after awhile. They need to put in fast forward buttons. Or an automatic "YOU WIN" button! Yes that would make sense!

- EBounding



I hate people who base games on graphics alone. There's some games with nice graphics and FMVs and all that, which look nice, but there's not much by way of plot and stuff. *ducks before people pelt her with carts and disks*

Have anyone else noticed the sesames in Dusty Dunes desert? If you haven't, find it! It just adds to the greatness of Earthbound



It's just another one of the many love episodes in EarthBound.

- EBounding



There's sesames all over the game. Just look on top of your hamburgers... unless they're the cheap kind that don't have sesames. In which case, if you're seeing sesames all over the place I think you need to lay off the cough syrup.

- Mii

I still maintain that you should bring back co-answer persons. Ask dios how he did it and then do it. Otherwise I will lose all my respect for the Mailbag section, which I once felt so drawn to.

-- SimonBob



SimonBob writes in every week to let me know this fact. EVERY WEEK! No one ever wants to do it. But I managed to capture Mii`shal and bribe her with cookies.

- EBounding



I LOVE YOU SIMONBOB YOU ARE MY HERO!!!! YOU TELL IT LIKE IT IS :D

- Mii

I have a suggestion. It's really stupid, but I'll say it anyway. Here goes...

Once GCN and SSBM is released you guys should start a SSBM Fantasy League. It would work like this.

Every week, you guys tell us where the next fight will take place. We submit two fighters that we want and you guys duke it out. One person would control the same fighter everytime. After every fight, you guys post the results and people get points depending on how well their fighters did. The more fights that take place, the more strategic the game gets because we get to see how good each person is. After a set amount of fights the top three or so winners will get a small prize.

Like I said, really stupid right?



So what it be like people placing bets on who would win? And who exactly would be playing the game? I know GCN will have online capabilites but, uh duh....I am confuzzled.

- EBounding



If people are in to that sort of thing I guess it could work... but I wouldn't know since I don't play online games. BUT IF SOMEONE WOULD HELP ME FIGURE OUT CONTINUUM I MIGHT BE ABLE TO START!!!!!!

hello
are there any earthbound/mother t-shirts going around, cos i think one would rule, thanx



I usually just buy the T-Shirt maker from Office Max, and then steal Fan Art and make it a shirt. We don't sell them though since it's against the law.

- EBounding



I have one! I made it myself. I'm still waiting for Nintendo to swoop down on me though. But I think that some sm.net EarthBound shirts would own.

Hello everybody,
What I would like to have in Mother 3 would be Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo. Though, back to the topic I would like to have real voices like in starfox64. It takes a lot of time though.



Noooo real voices! Haven't we learned from Mario Advance, and Starfox?

- EBounding



I'd like to have Mother 3 period. Which is why I took an old cart from the rental store and crossed out the original game name and wrote "Mother 3 ph33r" on it. I still can't believe I didn't get fined...
