Auctions Says What?


Well that was odd. Seems the newspro had a hiccup. I certainly did not sink the Edmund Fitzgerald. At least, I don't think I did.

Auctions, was updated on time! I swear it!

Due to the weirdness, Auctions will be updated again on Thursday, not tomorrow.

.:EarthBound Update:.


The EarthBound/Mother 2 section has been updated again.

This is a great batch of work. The always reliable Zantar adds another buddy icon along with first time submitter, Asaki. I also needed to pick my jaw off the floor after I viewed Evexoian's two simply stunning wallpapers.

AOL Buddy Icons
  • Blue Blue - Asaki
  • Pencil Eraser - Zantar Black

    Desktop Wallpaper
  • Ness Super Battle - Evexoian
  • Ness and UFO - Evexoian

    Keep it pimpalicious andsubmit your EB/M2 creations.

    Also, just to clear up some confusion... I will still be running the EB/M2 section with whomever they new guy (or gal) is. Picky chose to step down from his staffer posistion because *quote* my life has gotten too busy to handle the section as well as I should. *end quote*

    So make sure you scroll down the page and read how you can become the new EB/M2 staffer.

    STAFF OPENING: Apply Within


    This is guruzeth, the Official Toady of reidman*, with my comical sidekick, Super Buddha (who is unable to be physically present since images are still broken), who is present to make the very special announcement that we are seeking a staffer for the EarthBound/Mother 2 section. There are several important requirements for this job, so if you're interested, read on:

    • Must be able to read and follow directions, such as is contained in this news post
    • Must have acceptable spelling and grammar skills, or else Anthadd will go Janet Reno on your sorry heinie
    • Must have a working knowledge of HTML
    • Must have a thorough knowledge of EarthBound. I will personally grill applicants to test their knowledge, so you can't fake this one
    • Must be willing to work long and hard; we're not kidding about this
    • Must have outstanding organizational skills (read on for more info)

    I want to stress that this is going to be a very important position, and a lot of responsibility is going to be involved with it.

    If you're still interested and think you have what it takes, listen carefully. Here's what you need to do. Right now, the EarthBound section is in a state of disarray. It is very difficult for a person to find specific things in the section (like game help, clay models, sound samples, and so on) because of poor layout/design. So if you want this job, we want to hear how you plan to improve the section. Go to the Mother 2 section, study it, and then tell us how you would re-organize it to make it easier for the average joe to use if he wanted to find something particular. Further, we want to know what you might have in mind to improve the overall quality of the section -- what's missing that you could add to the section? Do you have any ideas for new content that would be worthwhile? Most importantly, can you keep adding content at a rate that produces consistent, substantive updates?

    All ye who lust after this position, please answer these questions, and tell us anything else that might be useful information about you, in paragraph form -- a good application will be at least 3-4 decent-sized paragraphs. Email your application to jzeth7@hotmail.com -- nowhere else! If you send it to any other address, your application and your soul will be eaten by the email trolls. The deadline for submitting your application is Wednesday, April 7. Thank you, and have a wonderful day. :)

    * Title subject to change.

    I Sunk The Edmund Fitzgerald


    With a load of replies piled up to the skies
    Twice as tall as both Simon and Mikey
    Those good staffers two were both Mailbaggers true
    When the cold winds of March came up lightly...


    Okay, so maybe I shouldn't be trying to "improve" on Lightfoot, but nevertheless Mailbag is updated! This week, we pretend to discuss the Holiday Funfest, which makes a great cover to gripe about our NCAA brackets. We also dragged Carpainter into it. Next week, we're going to be talking about what else we're going to do this spring, so c'mon in and drop us a line!

    Mother 1+2 stuff


    I just updated the Mother 1+2 section with some new new promotional scans, courtesy of ShadowX who sent them to me a few days ago.

    Also, as Jonk mentioned a few days back, the Mother 2 Item Guide has been updated to more closely match the layout of the Mother 1 Item Guide.

    If anybody has stuff that could be added to the Mother 1+2 section, just e-mail me. I really could use some more screenshots from various locales in the games, but I don't have time to make my own unfortunately.

    That's all for now. Boo!

    Well imagine that


    I was reformatting my hard drive and backing up old files when I stumbled across some ancient emails. Among them was my long-lost FTP password, so now I can update Flukes. I might pop in mIRC (if I can even remember how anymore) and get some HoF and HoS voters later this afternoon, so keep your eyes peeled.

    Links Update


    Hey, hope everyone had/is having a great spring break! I got back from my trip to Japan this week, and being the poor college student I am with little or no bling-bling, I scrapped my money together to get a scratched up used Gameboy Advance and a used copy of Mother 1+2. How's that for loyalty? ;P I didn't see any big ads in the stores for the game but there was a copy of Mother in every game store on the front shelf just waiting to be picked up, so that was good to see. Plus it was hard to find a used copy... who would want to get rid of that game anyway?

    Anyway, here are today's link updates, brought to you by our three very impressive, very consistent Earthbound fansites:
  • Giygas.net (5)

  • Saturn Roadside (3)

  • Eagleland News Central (3)

    The MOTHER 1+2 has been updated with new translations guides. The Mother 2 Item Translation guide has been redone to fit alongside the new style of the NEW Mother 1 Item Guide. This is for those that are attempting to play Mother 1+2 course and have no idea what they have. Enjoy and remember, 1+2 will hopefully make it stateside!


    While we are on the same note, The 1+2 series has expanded with some more merchandise to give hope for EarthBound coming back to the GBA for the rest of the world! Grab yourself a Jersey, a Grey Shirtz0r, Clock, or one of the BRAND NEW POSTERS! Also check out all the other stuff in the store not yet announced but soon to be!

    Fun With Faux Threats :D


    dEaR niNteNDo: GIVE US THE FREAKIN GAME OR EAT A FORK, YOUR CHOICEHey folks, thats right, you too can have all kinds of fun with psuedo-illegal activities here at Starmen.Net! NP Ransom Siege is gonna be a rock and roll good time; threats will [not] be made, Nintendo will tremble in fear [scratch their heads], and I will eat a sandwich [really, I will]. THESE ARE CRAZY TIMES

    I'm sure Jonk will be updating sometime soon with some shots of the entries to date, so if you've made one, be sure to scan it or snap a picture and post it on the forum.

    In other news, with my triumphant return to the land of personal computerdom [ minus one 150 GB RAID 0 array :( ] the dev team is back on a roll. Thats right folks, no jokes about dinner rolls here; we're moving again and destroying everything in our paths. I'd come up with some clever alliterations and other strongly worded vague statements, but I've got plenty of other unfunny/useless things to write for my Business Law class... :D

    Donny Don't Says...


    Don't give your address to people you don't know. Especially if they're on the internet. And especially if they say that they're me or someone from the site. Trust me, we've got more pressing things to do other than IM'ing random sitegoers to see if they want something for free just because.

    Also, Donny Don't says Don't Not participate in the NP Ransom Siege. It's going to be awesome, but we need the community's support.

    In other news, work on the new site has been slow in the past week or so due to spring break and a few unfortunate problems with miscellaneous computer parts. However, the progress the dev team and the staff have made thus far on a lot of things is really encouraging, and hopefully we'll be back on track once I get my computer running normally again and get some school/work projects out of the way.

    Until next update, go check out the new Mother 1+2 Section and don't allow your young, impressionable minds to be warped by the image of Shigesato Itoi smoking a cigarette.*

    *Cigarette = Mother 3, Itoi = NOA**

    Spring Break that is, for me anyways. Sigh.... Well, onto the good stuff.

    Auctions is back at the grind.

    Notice that auction with the garbage can next to it? That is something you should never have to bid on. Lately, there have been a few auctions that try and trick the bidder. The auction title and image shown may not be what your bidding on. This is why you always read the description of any and every auction you are considering to bid on.
