you can do it as a whole, or you can break it down per game. i'll let everyone else state their thoughts before i give mine. try to give specifics.
go!

Earthbound has taught me various things:

-Be aware of cults, they'll try to paint people with a large brush, sometimes in both ways of the meaning

-Some condiments aren't always such a good idea to use, and an automatic addiction to them is bad for your health

-Stuffed animals aren't just cute, they are functional

-It is not courteous to ride your bike full speed when your friends are on foot

-Rulers can measure things

-Don't let bullies' taunts get to you or your defenses will be compromised

-Be aware of stray or wild dogs

-Sometimes even the best inventions can fail in some ways

-My dad is a telephone

-Debit cards are useful

-Baby Sinclair isn't the only one who has a frying pan weapon proficiency

-Photographers are sometimes scary

-My Asian friend that I never met doesn't like hamburgers

-Sometimes sleeping at a hotel alone is the only way to progress

-When times get tough, open that huge delivery box of pizza, and stuff it in your face at lighting speeds

-Be very careful when the lights come off at a department store

-Abstract art can be very scary

-Be careful not to run tino things while running around in circles

-Zombies hate being stuck

-Hilarious sounding burbs can make you cry from laughter

-Doctors in trash cans are cute

-There are huge creatures in the water

-Most people go the way on the right, but some people go to the way on the left

-Time travel is bad for your skin

I play RPGs now. If it wasn't for EarthBound the only RPG I would be playing would be pokemon. If I had never played any EarthBound games then there would be a lot of other great games I would've missed out on. I've a lot of great people on the EarthBound forums, I think my life would be much duller without EarthBound.

I will admit, earthbound has made me more open to exploring into other RPG games. although i've always been a huge fan of the Dragon quest (dragon warrior) ones. i got more into final fantasy after Earthbound. especially final fantasy 8. OMG! that's awesome!

Every time I walk down my street, I always watch out for Hippies trying to attack me

I always make sure to keep a close eye on my Lamp

I make sure to smell games before buying them

I never enter sign-less, rectangle shaped doors anymore

Earthbound showed me that rpg games can be fun. But I still find most rpgs lack intrest for me, I have to find a game I like, I have to play it for a few hours before I say I like it or not. I'm more of a causal gamer, as I play games for the fun of it, not to get the high score or achevments or what ever is the hip thing today,
