Cabin Fever 2 is already underway, and your fellow forum-goers are arguing with each other as we speak. Take a peek at the action and watch as the town hunts down the scum for yourself. Follow along with the narrative with each start-of-day and end-of-day post. And most importantly, be sure to take out enormous payday loans so you can bet it all on the winning team!
(What’s that? Uh, the higher-ups are telling me you shouldn’t do that. Okay, fine, fine. Keep your credit score intact. It means nothing to me, the guy who just opened his own payday loan business.)
In last month’s Theories, we asked: What is the nature of “America” in the world of MOTHER, and how does it coexist with Eagleland? 1stAgent stepped up to the plate and provided us with a lovely speech from the President of Eagleland, who gives us his thoughts on the eerily similar nation of America. Why not check it out here?
This month, we take a step further away from fact and a step closer to fiction. What untrue stories might have been told about the past of the Nowhere Islands? Really, your imagination will dictate how far you can take this topic, so give it a whirl!
Your selection for Riddles is slightly pared back this month. However, the fun isn’t completely over because our Undertale/Deltarune Riddles are up and running. That means it’s the perfect time for all you Toby Fox junkies to test your meddle and try to get your name on the leaderboard. It’s a good brainteaser for your daily routine, I’d say.
I promise that there will be some MOTHER Riddles for you next month. From which game, though? I guess you’ll have to wait and see!
Last month’s prompt was Ascent. Swing by and take a look at Lav-199X’s submission, “The Mountain, the Train, and the Fountain”. In this poem, examine the potential to overcome obstacles in your youth — or look back at them sorrowfully in your elder years.
This month, the prompt is: Effusive. According to Merriam-Webster, this adjective means “marked by the expression of great or excessive emotion or enthusiasm”. We hope you show said enthusiasm and try this prompt out for size.
MOTHER: Origins has new chapters for you to check out. In the current leg of the journey, Ninten and his friends are facing off against the fearsome Rockoyle, a stony behemoth that threatens to place Ellay under Giygas’s rule. However, bad becomes worse when Ninten finds himself face-to-face with an unbeatable opponent: his own father, having lost his mind to the aliens’ brain-jacking signal.
Oh, and speaking of Ninten... did you know that the EarthBound Beginnings Remake team is preparing a variety of additional materials? This includes a “Japanese” version of the game (think crows with cigarettes and original map designs) and even a full strategy guide. Keep tabs on the thread!
Do you feel like you or someone else accomplished something that should be featured in the Starmen.net newsletter? Please contact Ostricho with your suggestion for a potential future feature.
Next time, it’ll be September, the ninth month of the year. You’d think it’d be the seventh month of the year because it starts with sept-, and you’d be onto something. That’s because it originally was the seventh month. So, uh, until then.
