None foundJune 13th, 2009 | MOTHER 3
About a year ago, while I worked on the MOTHER 3 fan translation, a goofy bug turned up:

It quickly became an inside joke and everyone on the blog and on Starmen.Net was quoting it. It got to the point that there were even many requests to put it on a shirt and sell it or something. I kept telling people, “I dunno, maybe after the translation.”
Then I forgot about it until a little while ago when reid and Jonk asked me about it. They wanted to make a patch (a literal cloth patch) with the phrase on it and sell it on Fangamer, a new company they made. I was like, sure go ahead, knock yourselves out. The result is this:

You can check it out here on the Fangamer site. There are limited quantities, so if you happen to be one of those “welcome to the :|” fans, pick one up quick! Jeff and I don’t get anything out of this, but I thought people would like to know about it anyway 😀

I’d just like to say that while I was never a fan of the “Welcome to th :|” meme, and it got severely overused, that patch is absolutely fantastic.

Kurisuellegarden: It’s the first line of text that appears after you name everyone in the beginning.

It would have been a lot funnier if it weren’t quoted in every thread, every blog post, every time someone thought they were being unique, EVER. It got so ridiculously overused that it stopped being funny.
Heh, I thought you meant you were going to make a new translation patch with that line in it. O_o
Haha, that one is classic! I don’t frequent mentioned forums and such, so it’s still as awesome for me as it was back then. xD

ahahaa, man
a patch where it kept that opening would be wonderful
This is kind of off subject, but… I don’t know if anybody knows… There is game on the website ninjakiwi.com called Bird Family, and wheen you are buying up-grades in the game, an almost exact verion of the Buy Somethin’ Will Ya! song plays. Nice patch, too!
I’ve actually never heard of this. I need to get out of my cave more often.
It reminds me of the Candle Jack meme. you know, the on
Oh god, Mato, now you’ve opened the box of pandora.
I was hoping it wouldn’t spread to this blog, but it’s too lat:|
That cool Mitch guy made a comic about this, if any of you forgot.

Welcome to the… never mind.
This is my first time seeing this as well, and I’m seriously cracking up. Inexplicable stuff like this gets me every time.

It’s Starmen.net meme.
I was lucky enough to avoid most of the overquoting. I only ever saw one topic where every single post had a “:|” word fracture in it.
That being said, I really want that patch. But I guess for the time being I’ll have to settle for the line being my phone’s start-up text. 😛

Personally, I was a fan of nut bread is not for the head, however short-lived it was.

I want a patch that says “MOTHER 3 Fan” in a bunch of different languages.
Then I would have a MOTHER 3 Fan translation patch.
