Abnormal Mapping 39: Earthbound

It’s the end of the year, and the Mappers have arrived a little
late and a little weary to talk about the year that is now past
and the year that lies ahead. 2015 was a mess of a year, like
years often are, and in grand tradition we echew game of the year
lists to bring you some memories, some japes, and some feelings.
What lies ahead for the podcast? Within are the answers. Then, we
turn to the games of yesteryear, for a deep conversation about
one of the most highly regarded RPGs of all time, GameFAQs and
Starman.net’s own … EarthBound.


A big thank you to friend of the show Tracie Mauk for providing
the voice of the photographer in this episode.
