    No, the Mother 3 LP isn't dead.

    This is a blind run. Going into this - I know as much as you do! Fun.

    Configuring the controls before I start.

    Don't tell me anything about basketball. I'm going to form my impressions of the sport as I progress through the game.

    You have a problem with authority, Mr. Barkley. You believe you are special, that somehow the rules do not apply to you.

    Obviously, you are mistaken.

    LOOT. Does it count as loot if I own it anyway?

    [IMG]

    How does fauxd even expire? Isn't not expiring the whole point of it?

    [IMG]

    Apparently years of basketball concussions are catching up with Barkley. Does basketball involve headbutting the other players? Screw it, I'm going to say basketball is an incredibly headbutt-rich environment.

    [IMG]

    Well.

    [IMG]

    Oh, right. Need my fix; off to the dealer.

    I played it a while ago and got distracted, then upon hearing they're doing a sequel I started up again but got distracted again. But everything prior to getting distracted was awesome. Also, the events of Space Jam are canon so you may want to watch that if you haven't already.

    I'd just like to point out that that line is voice-acted.

    Unfortunately, this one isn't.

    And if you collect all the Chaos Dunks by Mushroom Hill Zone, you can go for the Super Dunks, allowing you to turn into Hyper Barkley.
