Maybe it's impossible to call a video game series "sacred" without being damned for a blasphemer, but as far as the Mother/Earthbound games are concerned, it's difficult to settle for "popular" or even "beloved." Whereas most video games ask us to walk through a struggle between good and evil, witness a political war between world powers, or simply rack up a sweet score, the Mother games emphasize the bonds between friends, between parents and children, between pets and their owners, and between mates.
It sounds sappy, but don't assume that following a Mother game is like taking a walk down a greeting card aisle. The series balances sentimentality, action, and zaniness like a boss. When you play a Mother game, you wind up saying goodbye to old friends, visiting the depths of your own soul, and clubbing a mad taxi to death all in the span of a few hours.

Made me laugh.
What do our brains do when we're doing nothing.
Quite a lot.
Today's Photo:
Attempted to look at an apartment in Captiol Hill.
It's the greenish building with the lights on. There's a little bodega there on the corner.
Sun Liquor, Top Pot Doughnuts and a cool corner bar are across the street.
But the parking.
Oh, the parking.
I saw the same car circle 20-30 times looking for a spot.
Not what I want to be doing with my nights.
This would be a great spot if I didn't own a car and could bus to work.
