Roo finishes off EarthBound-a-palooza with a thorough review of the game itself.

of all the current game review channels on the web these days, I find your videos the best.

Paper Mario also did the surprise attacks.

With mother 3 if you run into a monster that you wold beat in one turn, it flashes invisible, but doesn't give your experience

@ClanOfTheGrayWolf I cant seem to buy this game any where because it costs like over $100 and I am not about to pay that much for a game. I really want to buy this game because of your review. Before I watched these reviews of this game I really disnt think much of it. Thos looks so fun and I want to play it. Do you know pf anywhere I can buy it for less?

@nicflicks right now he just finished writing a book and probably working on another one. And the mother series is an amazing trilogy.

Gyig is pronounced as "Jig"

[nicflicks]

i told my friend about earthbounds final boss and he really really didnt think about the final boss in earthbound. he thought it would be some alien thing. about a month later, he asked me what the hell gave itoi the idea to creat giygas. i explained it to him and he was surprised by how such a harmless looking game had such a frightning boss

[nicflicks]

and now what is shigisato itoi working on now? a fishing game. thats what my friend said. after that he said the mother series was gay and for sisies
