No Napkin Drawings PEAZ


Fan Art is updated with a new Fan Art of the Week. Meeellla made me take joint credit for the drawing. Just because I came up with the idea and drew it doesnt mean I did anything! Well, check out the new art, it's pretty darn good.

In other news, plan to get something from the SM.N Store this holiday. You aren't cool..... till you have a hoodie or some other piece of Sm.netter swag, because reido saids so.

Also, Rock Candy has hit a minor bump that I am hoping will get ironed out by the release time. I have been left open with 12 minutes of extra time, even more if it wasn't for Shadow's most recent song. If all works out, which I will try my hardest to do, the discs should arrive at people's houses by Christmas.

I wanted to share some EB music with everyone so, here are four songs to listen to. One of these are from the new RC but the other 3 are classics! Enjoy!

Lousyspy - Lousyspy vs. Winters
Cromkayer The Third String
Pancake Chef - Hotel Rhumba
Sephy - UrfBownd!

You're So Vain


You probably think this update's about you.

I'm gonna keep this short, because I have a feeling that if it all goes through like it's supposed to, then I'll need to conserve my powers of updating. In the meantime, vote in the Simon Poll (update: the Simon Poll is now on the forums, but I can't say where, so send emails if you can't find it) and send in Fanfics. And watch the skies.

the tv, she talks to me

Happy Happy Turkey Day


Well, to those who eat the poor thing. :(
(That South Park episode got to me last night). Poor ugly delicious turkey.

However, I have pulled myself together long enough to bring you the even more delicious (and cruelty free) fan submissions new to the EarthBound section!

  • Starmen Trick - By Zeth
  • Animated AOL Icon - Fuzzy Pickles - By AdsGoldfinger
  • EB Starmen and Mani Mani Wallpaper - By Kefer
  • Sanctuary Collage Wallpaper - By KindarSpirit

    ... and now, back to studying for finals. Happy thanksgiving everyone!

    Da Polls


    A new poll is now up! But first check out the results from last week:



    What do you think of SLing's Secret Screenshots?


    Too hard!: 54.39%

    What is it?: 20.47%

    Just right!: 20.47%

    Too easy!: 4.68%


    Total Votes: 171


    And that is that! We'll have to think harder or beat SLing up to make SSS easier. But before any bloodshed, vote in this week's poll first.

    RETURN OF THE HOODIE


    I can't even count how many emails I've gotten about Starmen.Net Hoodies this year. Without doubt, last year's hoodies were one of our best selling items to date (we sold 54 of them in just a few months). So, in response, Jonk came up with (his 300 millionth) great idea. After a few days of work from Jonk and myself, we present to you this year's Starmen.Net Hoodie and two other sweet new items - a similar Urfbownd Zero Baseball T and the first Starmen.Net sticker, based on 'Robotomy' by Meeellla!

    UrFBoWowWowWNnnD
    UrFBoWowWowWNnnD SNES Hoodie


    UrFBoWowWowWNnnD ZERO
    UrFBoWowWowWNnnD ZERO Baseball T


    Robotomy Sticker
    Robotomy stickz0r



    Like I've said in the past (and been quite faithful to), I'll never re-release a limited edition product once I've pulled it, as tempting as it would be to make a quick buck. The hoodies are limited edition, but they'll be around til later in January or maybe longer. Most people don't know, but we don't make an awful lot of money off the Starmen.Net store. Its just a cool thing that I think helps bring the community a lot closer, and in like 15 years when you're digging through your drawer and you find your Starmen.Net Hoodie, you'll think 'man, I remember that. I can't believe I let reidman scam me'.

    I'M JUST KIDDING. I like having the store available for those who don't see the allure of having a forum rank or avatar, but still want to help the site and get something cool in return. So, stop staring and get over to the Starmen.Net Online Store!

    BTW, thanks to Relient K (the band) for being cool enough to have a t-shirt design worth copying ;)

    Yep, so get uploading stuff for this week's Apple of Enlightenment. If you forgot,

    This week's prediction is: What if Akira Toriyama made EarthBound?

    And you have the rest of the day to put in your stuff that you've been working on so busily for the whole week. Sorry for the inconvenience, though. New topic tomorrow, promise.

    Theories has been updated once more over in the EarthBound section, with your thoughts on EarthBound Zero Vs. EarthBound. Interesting results? Most definitely, with some scarier than others. ^_^

    This week's topic is a more obvious one, one that I'm sure many of you have at least pondered a few times while playing EarthBound. So make sure you give it a go!

    Only a month left until December 25th! Going by fast isn't it?
    Questions, comments and anything else are always welcome.

    I sacrifice sleep for YOU! Good morning, all. GiS here with your weekly Mailbag! Mailbag is full of fluffy goodness this week, for no particular reason. We're also on our third page in the Hall of Fame, due to Kaepez's supremely cool letter! Best of all, there's still plenty of room for YOU! So go submit!

    This week's topic is: PLAY EARTHBOUND THIS VACATION! Is it like you remember it? Does the nostalgia make you teary? Has it lost its touch?

    Aye, you heard me. PLAY EarthBound. Honestly. Actually play EarthBound for a good hour or so, and talk about what it was like, and the memories, and what you're thankful for. Throw in a little Thanksgiving spirit if you're in the mood, too. And PLAY EARTHBOUND! If I get a response one minute after I make this update, something is wrong.

    GiS, friendly Mailbag dude, signing off!

    No plot, just yelling


    In other news, The Apple of Enlightenment has been updated. Go check it out, since the winning entries this week are pretty good. So good, they might inspire you to do something for THIS topic:

    This week's prediction is: What is EarthBound was made by Akira Toriyama?

    Now, for those of you going, "Who?", check out the spiffy and shiny Anime and RPG Forum. They won't bite. Well, most of them anyways. ^_^ For those of you who don't want to check it out, think DBZ.

    And as a side note, the Upload form for AoE is temporarily down, so still work on entries, you just won't be able to submit them *yet*, but be patient.

    And everything is due before next Tuesday, so have fun with it.

    Wow, it's been more than two months since my last update...sorry about that! ^^; There's been a dearth of submissions, and school is keeping me too busy to make any good content on my own.

    But that's not why I'm updating. An excellent icon has been submitted, and I now bring it to you.

    Hopefully, my next update will come much sooner after this one.

    It's A Long Story


    I COULD sit here and list all the reasons I was 43,200 seconds late. It'd be rather entertaining, actually, to see the lenghtly list of true excuses. But I'll skip it and get to what you all came here for...Mailbag! Drakenul wrote the Letter of the Week this week, so cheer for Drakenul!

    This week's topic is: Do any elements of EarthBound disappoint you?

    Sure, we all think EarthBound rules, but there could always be a flaw. Does the music somewhere make your brain leak? (Monkey Caves) Do you growl at the lack of bathrooms? Or do you just plain hate Hamburgers?

    I should warn you all, I was wide awake when I did these responses. I may scare those of you with weak constitutions. I even wrote an almost 500-word essay on the meaning of the SPoD.

    Later, Mailbag dudes! Er, and to you non-Mailbaggers... :(

    EDIT - (Dang), Arad, you're fast!

    Is it Friday again? Yeesh. Looks like it's time for another Fanfic update. At least now reid won't fire me - I think.

    Don't forget, send your new Fanfiction here. Otherwise I have no content and I have to make dumb updates about my lack of content. Also, submit Articles! Don't just let that section die! Bring it back to life again. By this time next week I want everyone to be really angry about the lack of article updates.
