Hello Friends. I'm sorry this took so long, this was meant to be a 20 minute video, over three weeks, but things got very very out of hand.

Im going to be doing another making of style video for this so ill go into the full story then, but yeah, this was a nightmare, but im really happy with where th video ended up.

A reminder- We’re doing a watch party this Wednesday at 5pm ET, gonna check out more trigun, last couple have been super fun so hope to see you there!

Beyond that, Im feeling pretty burned out and need a rest, so I probably wont be on line much this week, but Ill be back next week, and will catch up on @s and DMs then

I have slept about 10 hours in the last 72 so i  must go now, and slumber till wednesday.

Be sure to take care of yourself. I think I can speak for everyone when I say we can wait a little bit for a video. Your health is important.

I feel that when I watch the video I'll have a new necessity... Take care of yourself

Just finished watching. One of your better videos and that's saying something. I can never quite nail down what it is about the quality that makes it such...quality XD. I've gotta play this game now! :-)

I have never played the games before, but this video made me cry when you were talking about how the game ended.

The psychological contrast between Porky and Lucas is really interesting and pretty much necessitates playing through both Mother 2 & 3 to get the full picture. *SPOILERS* In Mother 2, the contrast presented itself as Ness, a kid with a comfortable family life, and Porky, a kid who suffered through the attitudes of indifferent parents who appeared to regularly abuse him. Porky develops a similar attitude to his parents and becomes extremely selfish, but Ness develops himself through his friends, his adventures, and through occasional phone calls back home. In Mother 3, Lucas loses most of his family and, instead of becoming selfish and egotistical, he simply makes new friends while searching for his brother and grows through his hardships. In contrast, Porky never really grows up. His family is gone, and so he builds an artificial reality grounded in the banalities of late stage capitalism. To make his artificial reality more real, he forces this reality on everyone else. At the very end, when Porky's lost the final battle, he refuses to let his false reality break by simply shutting himself up in a metal capsule and likely closing his eyes in order to continue believing that his vision was correct all along. This type of narrative contrast is really awesome, and it shows that, as old as Porky was, he never actually completed his development as a person. Lucas outpaced him by accepting hardship and failure as inevitable and eventually moving beyond them.

I didn't even know this game existed until you talked about it in your charity stream earlier this year. For the longest time, I thought Lucas was "the other guy" from Earthbound because of Smash Bros. – I guess that's two classic RPGS I need to catch up on at some point. (Also, as someone who does a lot of longhand writing, I really need to track down one of those Hobonichi journals. My Rustico notebooks don't have enough inspiring Japanese quotes. They definitely owe you sponsorship royalties.)

This was a great video John. Videos like this reminded me of why I follow and other similar channels about analyzing the stories behind games and other outlets. I love how there is always more depth behind the subject. Your videos have such a rich quality that's rare these days, and I dont think that's something a lot of channels possess nowadays. Great stuff and content as always!! Also, please give yourself some rest. Take care of you first and foremost, you know we will always be here!
