LET'S PLAY: MOTHER 2 (EARTHBOUND)

Well, I've already named Jeff...

I do kind of agree about the real men thing, though. So all I need is Ness's favorite food.

MAKIN and BACON

There we go.

Part 0-1: Names'n'Things

Finally, this let's play of Earthbound will begin... after I set a few options and such.


Usually I would jump for the fast text speed, but I'll go with medium since I have to stop and take screenshots anyway.


I'm very picky when it comes to window flavors, so I'll order mine plain.


It's all for you, kentona.


YDS will definitely come in handy with her PSI Shields.


I don't really see the resemblance, but I have to put Karsuman somewhere in here!


Darken would approve... I think.


Heheheh... blame Neok, not me.


Disclaimer: This isn't really my favorite food.


It'd be better if the whole thing fit, but this will have to do.


Yep

That's it for this rather short part. In the next update, I'll be covering the intro to Earthbound, which shouldn't take too long. Expect it either today or tommorow. Until then, however, see ya!

Thanks to all who helped me to choose some names'n'things!

Part 0-2: The Meteorite

The options have been set, so let's start the adventure.



It's a peaceful night in Onett at Kento's house.



Our hero, Kento, is only sleeping when a huge "BOOM" was heard.



Kento gets up to investigate, hearing police sirens outside. What's going on?



The first weapon is in Kento's sister's room, a cracked bat. She won't be needing it, so I'll just take it.



PJs and all, Kento marches outside.



Isn't this just the police force you would like for your own town?



So close, yet so far...



Success!



Oh look, it's Pokey Minch. Or Porkey, if you prefer.



The cops are actually much more annoyed about Pokey than they are Kento. Big surprise, right?

We have also learned that the "BOOM" from earlier turned out to be a meteorite. How mysterious...



Since the cops won't let anyone see the meteorite, Kento decides that just standing there is a waste of time and decides to go home and get some sleep.



Would he get a good night's rest? Of course not!



Kento and his family are disturbed in the middle of night by none other than Pokey Minch and his annoying knocking. Pokey asks for help in finding his brother, Pickey, whom Pokey said that he lost in the confusion of the night.



Kento agrees reluctantly, but not without talking to mom first. Better go get changed!



Kento changes and equips the cracked bat that he stole earlier.



I might need some extra help, and there's no way that Pokey is going to provide it.



...Uh, great.



Kento has a chat with his dad on the phone before he leaves. He won't be needing that not very hard-earned $30 dollars until later though.


Upon exiting we encounter a very non-threatening looking runaway dog.



Pokey sits and cries while Kento beats it senseless and levels up. He even learns PSILifeup alpha!



After a bit more fighting and walking around, Pickey has been spotted!



WIP chickens out and runs home, which is odd. It sounds like something that Pokey would be more likely to do.



I'll be sure to keep this in mind.



Oh, that makes sense. It was Pokey that ran away, not Pickey.



I couldn't agree more. So we set off back to our respective homes, when...



*Sigh* No, Pokey, I don't hear a... Wait, I do hear a buzzing sound.



What the...? So we're talking to a bug thing that comes from 10 years in the future?

The time traveler's name is Buzz-buzz (of course), and he's come to tell Kento of Giygas, who is an alien creature from the future that's trying to take over the world and whatnot. But, there is hope, and that hope shines brightly in Kento.




Buzz-buzz talks about how this legend tells of a boy and his companions will defeat Giygas. Of course, there are three boys and a girl.



Apparently Buzz-buzz doesn't want to explain everything right away, so he comes with us.



Don't worry, Pokey. Only cool kids get to fight Giygas.



So we're just walking along, minding our own business, when...



Ahhh! Some alien thing from the future!



If not for Buzz-buzz's amazing PSI shield, the battle surely would have been lost.



The Starman Junior is defeated, granting Kento another level up.



Buzz-buzz talks about how Giygas is influencing humans and animals from even 10 years in the future. Giygas is obviously not to be taken lightly.



So, Kento escorts Pokey and Pickey Minch back to their home, where they are punished by their father. Pokey deserved it, if you ask me.



Um, okay? This describes the Minch family, besides Pickey, in one sentence almost.

The reason he wants Kento to leave is because Kento's father owes him money, but they haven't been paying anything back. Of course, he could be lying also.



Too lenient with Pokey, anyway.



Hahaha! Losers.



Buzz-buzz! No!



SMAAASH!



Buzz-buzz...



Buzz-buzz's final words were telling Kento what to do on his journey. He must take an item called the sound stone to 8 "sanctuary" locations, each with it's own melody. The sound stone will then memorize the melody, making Kento stronger with each sanctuary that he makes his own. Once Kento gains all 8 melodies and finds his friends, then he will be strong enough to defeat Giygas.




Buzz-buzz breathes his last, leaving Kento with the sound stone.



Night turns into dawn, and Kento's true adventure begins...


Well, that's the intro. In the next update we'll actually get into the game. Don't expect every update to be as long as this in the future, or as serious sounding, for that matter.
