Emile is a random fan with a copy of Nintendo power so why not tell them their is a podcast of the same name done by Nintendo, it just makes sense to do to be honest.

    Ness: I wonder where Porky went...
    Paula: Maybe we should have stopped him from running away...
    Ness: Maybe. But I’m sure it’s fine. He can’t do any harm as he is right now...
    Paula: Okay, you sure?
    Ness: Yeah. I mean, how much damage could he actually do? It’s just Porky we’re talking about.
    *Later, in Smash*
    Lucas: Yeah so it turns out this guy Porky was behind all this and...Ness, are you okay? You’ve gone pale.
    Ness: ...I have made a horrible mistake.

    Chugga, I'm not sure if you will see this here considering that this is relatively old now, but I will say it anyway. It has been quite a long time since I have watched your videos, everynow and then I come back and I binge a series etc.. but I wanted to say thank you for all of the videos that you have put out. They have gotten me through some rough times, and they have been a constant in my life up to this point. I have been watching your videos since I was pretty young about 10 years ago, around the time you were putting out Paper Mario, and of course not long before that Earthbound. I remember being young and binge-watching your old Earthbound lets play. Keep in mind that I am 18 now. You have been a part of my life for quite a long time, and have been a constant. I can always go back to your channel and see a new series, or a series that I missed etc, there will always be Chugga there for me to watch. They don't fail to bring me joy when I watch them. Sometimes I go back and watch some of your old series as well just for the memories because it has been so very long and so much has changed in my life since then. This time it has been quite awhile since I have checked in, have a lot of videos to catch up on. Just thank you, Chugga. Continue doing what you have been doing. (oh and obligatory Okami bonus) I just hope you see this, maybe at some point will make a Twitter and tweet it I don't know. I just want you to know that you are appreciated and have helped me be me.

    I’ll admit, at first I didn’t really care about this game as much. But recently, I’ve been doing some stuff with online emulators recently and managed to get Earthbound on my chrome book for school! (profile pic is of my dad, I’m really just a freshman in high school) I’ve just recently managed to get to Fourside as of this comment being posted. I truly understand that this game was a timeless classic and will always be one of the best games I’ve ever played other than Pokémon and super Smash Bros. The only thing that sucks about this is that my chrome book is linked to my school website, so most of the games are blocked, meaning that the school tech staff can basically wipe my save data at any point in time (thankfully they haven’t), another thing is that they’ve blocked most of your RUclips videos on the school internet. All I want to say, is thanks. I especially love how it’s nice to hear that I’m not alone on the autism spectrum (I’m aspergers (or as I like to call it, Ass Burgers.)) I know I’ve been going on and on in this comment, but all I want to say, is thanks for driving me through this journey. I’ll never forget the amount of fun I’ve had playing this game. Also, if you’re wondering what I named my heroes, I named Ness Flonp, I named Paula R-un, I named Jeff Madiq, And I named Poo Kito. Farewell Emile

    This LP...I think this is the one that I would recommend to people who are interested in looking at Emile’s content but have not before honestly. This demonstrates how informative and simultaneously entertaining he can be. I don’t think after all this time watching him that he’s nearly as positive as people make him out to be, especially after watching PiT, but this LP, it never felt like he was being overly negative about any one thing, or if he was like with the Monkey Caves I felt it was coming from a genuine place, and that’s pretty much how I’d sum this LP up in one word: genuine.
    You can tell how passionate he is about this game, how even though he’s so experienced with this to the point of mastery he hits the same stumbling blocks some of us do, how much he genuinely did not know about this and was surprised by his own discoveries and that of his fans and supporters. I’m honestly surprised at how much I learned from this LP. Every episode, there was at least something new about Earthbound I took away from this. The lack of forced deliveries or even puns, while maybe a detriment to some of his viewers, just shows how invested he was in this LP and its commentary that he didn’t have to resort to them as filler.
    About the only negative point I could see is that Emile didn’t continue with showing off the travel guide sections of the Player’s Guide as he said he would when leaving Giant Step, but I imagine that maybe Devin and Shauntelle thought that it detracted from the visual aspect of the LP or something, and it’s not like there were a lot of uneventful opportunities presented where Emile could get away with showing that off again. I do wish the Guide was shown off more as it’s kind of a piece of art in its own right, but I guess that’s all the more reason to look it up online.
    I daresay that this is probably going to be my top LP from Emile for a long time to come. I would happily rewatch this and share it with friends who are and are not Earthbound enthusiasts alike if only to see what they take away from this. Thank you, and until the next time I drop by this channel.

    For me, Giygas has always invoked a feeling that's hard to describe. When I see Giygas, I see what looks like a human skull that's ind of melted or twisted. I get a feeling of dread mixed with something that's similar to empathy I guess. When I think of what Giygas is, I think of human experimentation. Something human, but something that became something inhuman. But mostly I fear dread

That white car looks like some sort of really old muscle car, but I have no idea of any possible models/makers. And those are some archaic-looking streetlights and architecture. It's definitely an old photo, but that's all I got ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • @E3kHatena
    @E3kHatena 5 лет назад +40

    Thank you for all the work you do. When I saw the first couple episodes, I thought this would have been a much less content-packed series than the Pokémon Black/White series you just concluded, but it's been by far one of the most in-depth, comprehensive series on Earthbound I've seen, and being around for the ride has been amazing. I'm so glad you went back and turned what was a rather rough series into a very expansive love letter to what I and so many others consider one of the most timeless games of all time. Cheers.
    Also that is definitely Mario Party 8/9 at the latest Peach on that Bookmark, mid/late 2000s. Around Mario Party 10's release, Nintendo switched off of shading the Mario models with shades of black to using lower value shades of the model's colors (likely via a more complex shader) and they've looked a lot more vibrant since! A shame that Nintendo seemingly included a form letter and completely brushed past the name, I'm sure a few people at NoA have some sort of working relationship with you, but still finally great to have some closure. Are the bookmarks going on the Mother shelves despite being definitely the wrong series? I know I'd put them there, just for laughs and to tell the story.

  • @HazelnutButtercup

    Hey I have a little story about something that happened to me while playing earthbound. On my first play through of the game ness's HP was way higher that it was suppose to be and by the time I was in the Deep Darkness I had over 800 HP, and after I went through magicant where ness gains incredible power my HP counter went over 1000 to be more specific 1120 but when displayed in the game it would only say I had 20 HP and when viewed from the stat menu it would say that I had 120/1120 HP. In battle when ness got damaged the counter would snap to the number it was suppose to be at after receiving damage without scrolling. I thinks it was a glitch as it stayed that way for the rest of the game but I thought it was an interesting story to tell so I thought I'd tell everyone.

    There's actually another effect of homesickness. If one were to get homesick on a long run without calling Ness' mother, provided that Ness does not die himself (which WILL remedy this), the player would get a call from said mother as a reminder to call, though the homesickness is not cured of. I've gone a while being in said condition in one of my playthroughs, and never got this call, albeit heard of it.

    Wow the reply letter was written really personally. I'm sad it doesn't have a personal signature as well. : ( It would be cool to know who it was that responded to Emile's contest entry.

    Hey there, Chuggaa!
    I am so glad to see you still making videos. I just came here to say that I am enjoying the living bejesus out of your Let's Play Pokemon Platinum series and am looking forward to watch the rest of your videos. You have an unparalleled personality that makes everything you do so much fun to watch. Keep it up!
    Sincerely,
    a huge fan

    Watching this series has definitely made me into an EarthBound fan. I disregarded it from the start because of how old it was and just kind of assumed it would be a product of its time I'm glad you proved me wrong.

    I'm not sure how legitamate the information is, but I've heard that in promotional material in Japan the game has been titled "Mother 2: Giygas Strikes Back".

      Kinda reminds me of the 2nd PSX Crash Bandicoot game, though the similar titles are probably just a coincidence.

    Also, I'll admit, watching this, I actually got really into earthbound, I bought it on the eshop, and I just rescued paula, and I'm in threed, and i have to say, thank you chuggaa for opening my eyes to a new favorite of mine, hopefully, soon, I may get pikmin 2, another one of my favorite let's plays you've done

      The Terrarian Hero I honestly suggest getting the GameCube version as I don't care for motion controls that much but Pikmin 2 on the Wii uses the pointer which can help with being more accurate with throwing your tiny army at creatures. I guess it's up to your preference.
