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

But instead of talking about that, … Continue reading Frog #7: Pitch Black + Covered in Soot
Frog #1
Let's begin.
Frog Zero
Alec explains the intricacies of saving your game in Mother 3. (This post is also available as a video here). I always thought it would be simple: I would play Mother 3 frog by frog (that is, save point to save point) and chronicle my experiences each day. Seeing as each “save frog” in Mother … Continue reading Frog Zero
