Ness from Earthbound (SNES, 1994) made by Nintendo of Japan.I was big into Earthbound as a kid, and my first online community was the Rocky Horror-esque subculture that formed around the game. When I was still in elementary school, I started drawing Earthbound-themed comics for a site that was then known as Earthbound.net under the pseudonym “Worker and Parasite,” or “WaP,” as they started to call me. The site is now called Starmen.net, and I don’t think anyone I knew is still there. A lot of the site’s ruling clique from my time went on to run the FanGamer merch store.The further I get away from the game, the more I am inclined to think of Earthbound as being somewhat overrated, or at least over-praised. While it has a lot of very clever and funny moments, I think it’s a bit too disjointed overall, and is more a collection of ideas than a coherent whole. Mother 3, the sequel, is a far better game, in my mind, with a superior plot and more engaging characters, as well as a theme with higher, and I dare say more mature ambition.As a work of whimsy and irreverence, however, few things have probably had a greater influence on me. -- source link
