“MAGE CAST” Episode #004 – Fuzzy Pickles

Now that the numbering fiasco is over, we’ve decided to release the fourth episode of MAGE CAST!

In this EarthBound episode, I jumped last minute in front of the mic with Ryan the Hyperactive Coffee Mage and Brent the ABXY Mage to talk about a real SNES cult classic. Our discussion circulated around the idyllic vision of America, the death of innocence, the lost art of memorable NPCs, the current retro revival, disturbing 16bit imagery, the meaning of the series title “Mother”, successful video game humor, and lots of Poo.

He has undertaken a seemingly endless crusade to talk about the games themselves in the midst of a culture obsessed with the latest controversy, scandal, and news cycle about harassment, toxicity, and negativity.
