I think they didn't try hard enough this year because too many people whined and moaned about last year's prank, which I frankly thought was brilliant. Which is amazing coming from me, because I hate this holiday. I know you didn't like the avatar-switcheroo, but they could have done a lot worse, too.

And I guess I'll have to actually play the Earthbound games at some point. D: I have several friends now that babble about them a lot and I feel left out by barely knowing who Ness is past "that annoying character I could never play in SSB:M"

Wait.. DA did something for April Fools day? D: x3

also, I really like your avatar XP

Ah yes... you must join the Earthbound cult. It is incredibly fun. I definitely think it's the kind of game you'd enjoy.

Yes... they changed user symbols around a little. What a funny prank! Sure got me.

Also, thanks. xD

I liked Earthbound, Mother 3 was a disappointment after al that time waiting.

On a random note!! *has been meaning to ask this for a couple days* But what is your new icon-thing? It's Skitty transforming into...something? xD (I noticed Nyoko's is like it too) It's cute 'n all! But I couldn't figure out what the thing it changes into is D:

The sprites in my icon are from a game called Mother 3. The thing she turns into is the uniform worn by the villain's army. It's not something that would make much sense at all unless you played the game. xP

Hahah it was so obvious it was sad >__>;; I only saw one person who actually fell for it and commented on the user's page going "OH NOES THEY GOT BANNED?! O__O"

If they wanted to make it more "scary" they should have done the whole "This user's page can't be displayed" thing >__> Because most people at this point know you can't even look at a banned user's page.

Man, since other people are mentioning it <_< Sadly I've only played the second game in the Mother series ='( I greatly enjoyed it though Wait, so they actually translated Mother 3 or is it still in Japanese? 'cause last I heard it wasn't even planned to be in English and the only people working to translate it was a group of fans who weren't going to release it once it was done >__>;; I'm a little behind though, because that was years ago ;;;

Agreed. It was pretty lame indeed.

Re Mother3: Nintendo still hasn't translated it and it looks like they're not going to, ever. However, the fan group you're talking about finished their translation and is making the ROM available for download. Shouldn't be too hard to find if you want it. x)
