He didn't kill the hippie.

He simply turned him back to normal.

So he can figure out the length of things easily.

but that involves math and intelect.

What is your problem

Dude! Slingshots and yo-yos! You're telling me you kept Ness as a melee tank the whole game? Pfft. Jeff Andonuts was my favorite party member anyway.

He's all like, "Screw your telekinetic telepathic pyrokinetic bullshit powers, that's all a bunch of scientifically disproven garbage!! I can fix and improve ANY broken device, OVERNIGHT, I have a FUCKING RAYGUN, and I'm VERY INSECURE ABOUT BEING A GEEK!! ... oh yeah, and my dad built me this cool silver UFO that can travel anywhere on the planet, but we can only use it on weekends..."

Meanwhile Paula is busy praying Jeff never tries to make a pass at her, so she won't have to resort to smacking a kid wearing glasses with a frying pan, and Ness pretends to be a mute like fucking Crono, but manages to convince his dad to deposit cash into the nearest ATM under his son's name after any and every fight that he gets into, while Poo is off learning some kind of ridiculous secret Ancient Eastern Magic kung-fu attack, until Master Barf shows up in South America.

This was and is possibly, quite likely so, the best game any child or young adult could ever play, to this date.

Oh yeah. Yo-yos give you a shoot command, don't they.

I only ever found one yo-yo in the whole game and I didn't keep it for very long. And I mean honestly, it doesn't matter how cool ranged attacks are, because they can never stack up against a weapon that gets a SMAAAASH every single fucking time you use it.

But yeah, Jeff. I pretty much want to be Jeff when I grow up.
