We covered the Mother’s Cookbook Kickstarter a while back, which was successfully funded and recently fulfilled! If you missed out, you can now buy a copy at Fangamer. I’m incredibly impressed with this cookbook. The recipes are creative and easy to follow, the photography is beautiful, and the entire book is dripping with love. Not only do you get recipes for foods that appear...Read More »

The starting bid of $2000 scared everyone away, though, so it went without any bids at all. A semi-rare EarthBound ruler hit eBay and eventually sold...Read More »

The crazy idea I had for years is finally real: I wrote a book about EarthBound’s localization, and it released yesterday! If you’ve visited my old MOTHER 2/EarthBound comparison site in the past, you know a lot of work into it. Even so, I threw almost everything out and started from scratch this time, researching new topics, discovering new things, and interviewing key people. The re...Read More »
