You're a pretty good thief, if you're reading this manual. You've made it inside the Haunted Castle now, which is itself a feat that should be commended. But, like I said, you're a good thief, and you know that commendation is nothing compared to treasure. You know that despite our musings of the Heart, Mind, … Continue reading Frog #21: How to Break Into a Haunted Castle, Vol. 1
I believe it is important to find simple things you enjoy. For example, I like to relish in the final forkful of a salad. Sometimes, I rewatch all of On Cinema in a week's span while playing Runescape. I also like to sometimes forego cooking on a Sunday, and instead buy a Little Caeser's pizza … Continue reading Frog #20: The Secret Cabbage Garden
At this point in Mother 3's story, you might start feeling like the game really has it all. You might even start worrying about whether or not the game can maintain this level of quality. We've had a couple emotional character deaths, a robotic dinosaur, a hip tea party, and even a cute little monkey. … Continue reading Frog #19: Stomp the Graveyard
Duster is in for a long night, but today is going to be another short adventure on Frog by Frog. Walking from Lucas's house, the next nearest frog hangs out at town square. Just as we once made this trek from Frog #1 to Frog #2, we are now walking from Frog #17 to Frog … Continue reading Frog #18: Show Me the Monkey
Listen: There is more to thieving than stealing. A thief thieves for thousands of reasons. A thief steals for notoriety among other thieves. A thief steals something so that another thief cannot steal it. A thief steals something from another thief, and returns it to its rightful owner. A thief steals something from another thief, … Continue reading Frog #17: The Heart of a Thief
What do thieves think about? Stealing, you might say, thieves think about stealing, and what they are going to steal, and how they are going to steal it. Or maybe you'd say, Sneaking. Every thief you know is a good sneak, so they must be thinking about where they are going to sneak, and how … Continue reading Frog #16: The Mind of a Thief
The tagline for the original Mother is "No Crying Until the End," but I already feel like crying. Frog #15 is the final frog of Chapter 1, and even though I'm excited to finally begin playing and writing about a new chapter, I'm not ready to let this one go. I don't want to say … Continue reading Frog #15: Somewhere, Someday
You know, I've wondered when a frog like this might come along. So far on the blog, we've had long frogs, short frogs, and somewhere-in-the-middle frogs. We have even had blue frogs, green frogs, right frogs, and wrong frogs. Typically, I try to write as much as I can about a frog. Even more typically, … Continue reading Frog #14: Cautiously…
For most people, 13 is an unlucky number, but not for me. Or at least not for this blog. Today's frog contains probably my favorite gameplay session so far. It wasn't the most exciting, nor the most impactful for the plot, but it had a little bit of everything. For Frog #13, I met an … Continue reading Frog #13: The Vine Intervention
After last week's novel of a post, you might be surprised at Frog #12's length. This is not another two-parter, nor even a three-parter. We're kicking it back into low gear, folks. We'll be out of here in two shakes of a lamb's tail. We're cruising through this one. Or, strolling, I guess. The main … Continue reading Frog #12: Father and Father Away
