I never finished Earthbound and that's one of my regrets from growing up because I should have. It's a game that deserves to be played. The combat is very Dragon Quest-ish and the graphics lean towards a cartoony 8-bit. The music can be a little odd but boasts some very memorable tracks. The setting and story really make it unique though. It's '50s America as seen through a Japanese lens. There's really nothing else like it. Earthbound is one of those games that easily exceeds the sum of its parts.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother, Cary. Sounds like she was pretty awesome and those sketches and paintings are really good! My favorite is the kitten in the paper bag, which I see you made your profile picture 

Garfield and Friends is such a great show. It was still on tv when I was a kid, though it might have been in reruns, I don't know. We watched it all the time.

Hey, I just bought Fire Emblem! It was for the $30 eShop credit but I'm looking forward to playing it sometime too 

Advance Wars is my older brother's favorite series. He's beaten all the games on their hardest settings. He's really good! Needless to say, I never play against him in strategy games anymore lol

SMT IV is a great place to start with the 3DS but they're a ton a great games on there now. Definitely a recommended buy.

Mighty Quest for Epic Loot sounds like a really awesome idea...and saves the developers the trouble of designing levels lol. I've been playing Shin Megami Tensei IV on my 3DS lately. Really great RPG.

I played the first KH through to completion a couple years ago and liked it well enough but never played the second one because I wasn't willing to spend the money to get it lol. It's got great music, of course. Yoko Shimomura never disappoints 

I haven't played any of these gems lol but I played the first Advence Wars, so I know Dual Strike is good. I have Burnout: Revenge, Dark Alliance, and the Anniversary edition of Halo, but I haven't played any of them yet. And if I ever do get an original Xbox, Crimson Skies will be on my shortlist of games to get.

Yowzers, that's a long video. I'll see if I can find the time somewhere

I find that I just don't play DLC, not sure why. Like others have said, I think it's fine if it's not needed to complete the experience of the original game. I'm a big fan, though, of GotY versions of games that include all the DLC. On the flip side of that, it really pissed me off when EA and BioWare released the Mass Effect trilogy with no extra content at all. Seriously, I'd gladly buy those again if they came with the DLC.
