Little by little I’m trying to edit all of my videos. This isn’t the final draft for this but I wanted to post it anyway. This is 3BP V2+ by

This video is missing several steps (like I said I’m not done editing lol) and I haven’t decided if I’ll do a voice over or not.

(Possible spoilers but the game has been out 18 years so don’t be mad at me, we all make choices in life)
Me, April 21, 2006. I pre-ordered Mother 3 on play-asia and paid an extra $45(?)+ for overnight shipping.
I played it with no translation using only the very simple “guide”

I got reminded of a story today.
In summer 04/05? I was working a a store called game time. 2 13 y/o boys came in looking for earthbound. They had been walking all over town looking for it. Covered in sweat. For some reason I brought my eb guide to work that day.

Slayed another N64! Cute purple shell with a pink LED. Ultra HDMI installed! P1/P2 port replaced due to cracked plastic on the original.
Ultra HDMI was given by a mentor w/a broken HDMI port - resurrected.
Buy it for $580 before I post on eBay for more

I want you guys to get to know me.. here’s another window into my life. My 11 year old daughter is a top tier elden ring player. She goes through spurts of playing and not playing but her save is NG+14. She remains at level 160. She can easily solo Melania (and any other boss)

In Japan I was what people now call a “tradwife” for about 9 years.
I was trained by my grandma-in law how to do everything the Japanese way (I didn’t know any way at first)
I wore an apron, I had a daily chore routine of sweeping, laundry, scrubbing the ofuro bath and toilet,

Before modding, before japan, before kids, I used to try to make videos about games that were really good but not well known, back in the mid 2000s. (They weren’t as valuable as they are today) I was on G4TV several times. Crazy this was about 17 years ago.

I can’t really flex on people with my game collection anymore. I lost over half my collection and some of my most valuable pieces when I left Japan. Still, for the most part I collected games I wanted to play. I stopped collecting because the prices are too inflated.

I’ve gotten some new followers since November, when I got my nails taken off. So I wanted to take a quick video of soldering with long nails. I have been soldering with long nails for years now..
Perhaps it makes no difference, or maybe I’m just that good. 😏

That strategy guide has doodles and notes from my childhood. He added his own. I LOVED that. He became a lifelong earthbound fan like me. I was so happy i could share it with him. I gave him a DS game.
Now my kids have used the guide too, adding their own notes and doodles.

3-4 years later I was working at a different game store. One day a tall young man walks in and approaches me. I didn’t know, but it was the boy I gave the strategy guide to. He came and found me, to return it to me. I couldn’t believe it. He joined too

At that time, no one wanted to play EB. It wasn’t popular. I spent a lot of time trying to convince ppl to play it. I was so excited that these boys wanted to play, I GAVE my childhood copy of eb guide to them for FREE. No questions asked. They were so happy. I was too.

That’s exactly what it is to me. People should have a choice about how to live their lives. Some women want this and if it’s feasible in their situation then they should totally do it. Nobody should be forced to be employed or stay home. Live the life you want.

This goes for all consoles. There are so many shady people out here who just want to make a buck off of you. Lots of us fix this broken poorly done mods all the time. If you’re needing anything modded, find someone you trust. Look at their work, get to know them. They’ll be here
For the love of retro gaming and your nostalgia, pls DO NOT buy game boys modded from Etsy. 99% of these people are ripping you off and are frauds

I normally don’t recap GameCubes but this one actually needed it. It had an issue reading games, mostly.
I found that if you let it “warm up” discs would play. Now it plays immediately.

In fact I will not install it unless you supply it 😤
I think it's hysterical when other modders offer "services" but they won't hotlink or link to my products that they're offering to install because they're afraid that I'm going to take their business.
Hey, there's plenty to go around, guys. At least show some appreciation..

When you get a mod installed by samtron5000 you also get a USB flash drive. You have to sign a legally binding NDA in blood to never share its contents however. Doing so results in you being hunted with a crossbow. Anyway let me know if you need any mods installed, it’s worth it
You may have seen our Clock Tower: Rewind PC release and asked, "LRG, what the heck is a PC Micro Edition?"
