Not much to add today. Can't wait for baseball, though. Watch both of these to prepare.

It's the 25th anniversary of the first Zelda game this year! To celebrate I provide:

EarthBound Segment 3: Twoson, because we weren't first
A new town full of strange people, new adventures and shiny things! After walking to town, Ness first rested a spell at Twoson's sleek and modern hotel (complete with upscale music) to recuperate from his travels. Journeying out into the town, we rented a bike, got a secret pizza delivery number, and made an astounding amount of cash by cornering the town's egg/chicken market. Ness also found out that Paula, the girl who had been sending him physic messages, has been kidnapped and taken to the Peaceful Rest Valley. That doesn't sound so bad; kind of relaxing actually. After investing in a few of Twoson's local, fruit-based inventors using his recently chicken-padded wallet, Ness decided to do some last minute shopping at the local market before enjoying what will no-doubt be a blissful journey to rescue a damsel in distress. Ah, to be a hero!

By and large, it was a peaceful and pleasant day for Ness. Well, aside from beating up that mob boss at Burglin Park. Meet today's villain, the head of Twoson's meager but oft-underestimated crime syndicate: Everdred.

He's slick, he's sly and he'll swindle you for all you're worth! Everdred runs the darker side of sunny Twoson, controlling its center of economy, Burglin Park. With his trademark polka-dotted pants, floral shirt and jazz-critic shades/hat combo, few dare oppose his tyrannical but generally good-natured regime. In battle he has no scruples, preferring to bite, steal and knit his brow to victory. After Ness knocks some sense into him, Everdred helps out in the search for Paula, and will be of even greater use to the party later. In the end, Everdred's the scoundrel that cares. I hear he's fond of haikus and is currently trying to get his hands on the mysterious treasure of Lair X. Aggerate...*ominous sound effect*
