Is there actualy a psy in earthbound called 4chan?

Or is this just a rom hack I accently downloaded?

Also earthbound thread.

I don't know what to make of this thread, but sage just in case.

I can't believe you were enough of a shithead to actually put 4chan as your favourite thing

Still a fantastic game though

I wrote "Money" when I was a kid cause I couldn't think of anything else.
I had completely forgot that I wrote that so when I got my first PSI spell, I thought it was similar to Final Fantasy's move where you throw money and do damage. So I didn't use it for a long time.

>> No.387373

>>387348
Yes, the very first offensive PSI you get is named after your favourite thing
And for the love of god, when the game asks you your name, put in your actual name. You will fuck yourself over if you don't

I know this is a zero effort troll but in case there actually happens to be someone unfamiliar with Earthbound here, the "favourite thing" you name at the start of the game is what Ness's attack power is named after.

>> No.387393

When I first played I put "island" and forgot all about it. Then was terribly confused that "Island" was never mentioned elsewhere and that some other PSI thing was (why didn't I have it?!)

Frst time I played earthbound I used save states to avoid being shroomed.
Actually quit my first playthrough until my brother told me I could give them to some girl.

I beat the entire game with auto battle and fast forward, no save states at all.... except for giygas and some other fight where auto battle screws you over.

I was, quite frankly, disappointed by how things developed. It was unique, but quite anti-climatic in my opinion.

The game clearly informs you when money is introduced, and I believe there is a sign or NPC (don't remember) near Lucas' house that alludes to frogs serving a double purpose.

I didn't notice it was named after my favorite thing until like, very late in the game. Mine was Games, so it was PK Games.

On my GBA run on the 1+2 cart I choosed APE (one of the fefault things), and I imagine PK APE to be a big monkey made of psychedelic colors throwing bones to the enemies

>> No.390864

>>390846

yeah they did a lot of non-game stuff for Nintendo like board games and guide books. I wish I had that logo in a bigger size, I want to vectorize it and make a stencil of it.
The name APE and the drawing of the ape holding a bone is in reference to "The Dawn of Man" in 2001: A Space Odyssey

And HAL Labs, who were HALKEN back during the Mother 2 development, was named after HAL9000 of the same movie.
