This week's mailbag topic:

The SM.net Forums.

Ok this mailbag I tried asking the people on the forum to co-respond. After a grueling series of questions and evaluations I chose Everdraed this week! So here we go with our crazy antics and such.

hi,

my question doesnt relate to this weeks topic, but i was hoping you could help me out=) ok, i found out a while ago that the earthbound 64 game was cancelled=( i was hoping you could tell me WHY it was cancelled...im very heart broken just thinking of it...T_T...

thank you very much
=meilssa=



If you want all the info, go HERE for all the unsightly info. :(

Do not cry for Earthbound 64... it wouldn't want you to be sad. It gave itself so we could all live in a land of freedom, happiness, and warm apple pie. Tasty pie.

Mmm yum forums! I think teh forums are sexay. Cuz liek i registered August '00 and I thought I r0x0r3d and r00led u all! WHA HA HA! But then the BlueAntoid guy comes along and all of a sudden he has 1,007 posts in liek a month. And I was all NOOOOOOOHOHOHO! Cuz u kno i think Santa is a Hippie, we're all doomed. If you're reading this give me all ur cashola boing.

Note: Let's face it, the forums is a dumb topic. Let us discuss something else.

Does anybody ever whunder whut thu mushruums un Nuss's Huud tuste luke? I mean people eat mushroom and WOW! Formus are sexay. Stare at my sexay spleen! Ooo yum toxic waste! WHEEE! LOOK AT THE COLORS! LOOK AT THEM! TEH INSANE CLONE OF GUYINSUMMERS COMMANDS YOU!

If you understood any of that you need conciling.



Usually I put insano letters until the end, but it's a Monday! And we all know how wild and crazy Mondays are. This kind of insanity is inexcusable unless you haven't slept in 36 hours and have had excessive exposure to MATLAB.

Number of misused capitalizations: 64 - Number of misspelled words: 21 - The fact that he called Santa a Hippy, and discussed the taste of head shrooms: Priceless

Hello, I have been veiwing this website for about two years now and I love this place.My favorite section is the flukes and I as a frequent oreintal food eater think that the more you update flukes, the less likely commets will hit you. The world needs more guys like you to brighten the world. Someday, I'll form a fluke archive of my own. Watch for my name.Dias Flac will be know. Don't even make me unsheat my SPoD. I will return again.



We got a lot of letters about flukes not being posted in a while. I'm glad we don't get letters about the mailbag not being posted in a while. Eh heh

- EBounding



I regret to inform you that, although the link between lack of updates and large heavenly bodies hitting you is well known, it is based purely on conjuncture.

- Everdraed

I sent flukes but only sent them 2 at a time so did you delete them or what



WAMPA (the big ugly pink thing) thinks all flukes suck and only updates with quality FUNNY flukes. So really, there is no more flukes section.

- EBounding



Fact: No one thinks their own baby is ugly. Before you send a fluke, you might want to ask a friend if they find it funny. If they do, send it, if they don't, go back to the drawing board. Please, stop sending ugly weak babies into the world, with a little tender care, they can become big fat ugly babies!

- Everdraed

youre gettin a little lazy in the flukes updates.. the date is 11/14, and the last update was 10/25

you might wanna do somethin about that



Yes I'm unleashing an all out assault on the flukes section. BLAME WAMPA.

- EBounding



Since you used the pronoun 'you,' I will now act as if you were directly addressing me. What's your problem, man? I can update when I feel like it! In fact, for that, I will use my mind powers to give you scurvy, or some other pirate related illness!

- Everdraed

Hey, how come there's always lots of people talking about Sword of Kings and how they try for hours to get it, but you rarely hear anyone doing that with any of the other rare weapons?

- Spiffage



The other rare ones are harder to get. Like the Goddess Ribbon comes from the Ghost of Starman, but on it's first turn it nukes you with Starstorm alpha. Not fun!

- EBounding



What's so great about powerful weapons? Anybody can beat Earthbound when you have the Gutsy Bat; why don't you try only using the cracked bat through out the entire game? There's a challenge.

- Everdraed

well one time i went out and bot a snes and a earth bound wen a got home and turnd it on the screen wase pink so bad i coudent see it but of course the guy said let me see your snes he turnd it on and put in a street fighter 2 turbo and it still wase pink there for it wase the snes and my earth bound wase fine i then screamd woooooohooooooo !!!!!!!!! and then i bot a new snes and every thing wase fine well email me and tell me what u thot any way im looking for the snes box set that came weth the strategy guide and the game tell me if u no any ware on the net i coud get it well i have lot of other crazy earth bound storys like the time i beat belch weth out the fly honey but thats a nother tail well see ya soon STEWY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!



WOW I don't know what this said STEWY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But thanks for the letter!

- EBounding



Huh? You can actually beat Master Belch without using fly honey? After using a few game genie codes, and reaching him at level 99, I was unable to beat him without it. I was sad.

- Everdraed

I was wandering if the only way to get the Gutsy Bat is by fighting in the sea of Eden or can you get it in the tunnel of time from the bionic Kraken.



You can get it from the Bionic Kraken. That's how I got it. Of course, it's not that useful since you're already at the very end of the game.

- EBounding



I am sad to say that I have never gotten a single '1/128 item.' Ever. Well, actually, I did get them by cheating, but I don't think that counts. I may love Earthbound, but I love game genie. (I used to sleep with it under my pillow, and every night, I would silently whisper 'Thank you!')

- Everdraed

Let's see what the mailbag of this week is about... what the... starmen.net has a forum?! Oh CRAP! And it's right there on the little sidebar thing, too! I'm gonna join it now, kay-o?

It's too bad EVERYONE didn't get this anxious over the mugz0rs.

- EBounding



Hmmm... forums were originally part of Roman society, a meeting place where governmental policies and philosophical ideas were discussed. Do you really think that's the proper name for a page that consists mostly of topics like 'Piez :(' and 'Boogle Bung?' Not to say I don't like the forums, quite the contrary, I love the zaniness, but I think it should have a name more suited towards its nature. To sum up my ideas into a single freakishly short statement, Forums R da Place!

- Everdraed

For all who posts on the forums, Im sorry i started the PANTS, it was funny, but its died and gone to pants heaven, oh well. I do have some new ideas that will be released in the next month or so, so stay tuned!
-Kris

P.S. (...) you wanna know what this is, do ya really want to know, well too bad!



I don't know what to say to this one! I'll let Everdraed say something instead.

- EBounding



Wait a minute; pants heaven? What about pants hell? You know, the place where all pants that make you look fat, don't match, and live lives full of sin go to? Of course, nothing compares to the utter horror and evil that is... underpants hell. That is a place of nightmares. So for all the underpants out there that don't live wholesome lives, repent!
