Congratulations internet, Sonic's original designer drew sexy fan art of his own characters:

did you know that the lyrics to it doesn't matter perfectly encapsulate the feeling of getting trapped in a longwinded internet argument?

This fight is not for anybody
This is purely for myself
There is no way I'm gonna give up
'Till the very end
I can't tell what is wrong and what is right
I've got to find the answer
But until I do there's no way
I will ever give up
Place all your bets
On the one you think is right




Also what was up with the "when all alone in my chair" line from tail's theme, was that song translated from japanese originally?

Because conceptually those characters are fine and they deserve their fans, and whether their gameplay was implemented well or not, they have their place in a celebration of what Sonic is all about, especially if their existence is just cosmetic and doesn't affect the story, gameplay, or anything else.

I feel like I could argue "dark twisted sonic with a gun" is an idea flawed at its very inception but sonic adventure 2 came out when I was like 13 so I still have a soft spot for all those dumb characters

Considering everyone's favorite perception of Sonic is 90's "bad attitude", I can't help but people are a bit too exacting on Vegeta the Hedgehog.

also "Sonic with metal armor and claws and BLOOD RED EYES" was everyone's favorite character back in the 90's so "black hedgehog with hoverboots" doesn't seem too far off from that.

I think you and I like very different things about sonic

Also I loving hated metal sonic he destroyed me over and over again in sonic 2 yes I'm aware that's technically silver sonic shut up

Edit: I also feel like "90s raditude" and "I'm cursed to walk the earth forever after the only woman I ever loved died" are 2 pretty different things

There are 14 different iterations of robotic Sonics, and only one robotic tails. Focus up Robotnik

Edit: metal knuckles and mecha knuckles are two different robots!

Dude, think what you want about Shadow himself, but Maria is like 12.

An important friend dying isn't always a love interest.

I didn't say romantic love!

Though I always thought Maria was older. The whole Gerald Robotnik and Maria Robotnik subplot is super hazy in my mind

I know it was Dimps I was just listing well (or ish) received Sonic games that I could think of.


Agreed, I don't really know why people lost their poo poo over Mario Kart 8 or whichever one it was that had transforming cars because Racing Transformed already did that poo poo and was awesome. Also the track layouts and characters options don't seem as good in the new Mario Kart series as they are in the Sonic All-Stars series.

We're really overdue for a new installment and I don't know if we're going to get one.

Have your tried playing it with friends

Sonics racing is indeed an awesome game but the skill cap is way higher so it's not fun to bust out at parties/when hanging with your drunk friends. Also the items suck

I've played it online, so I know what it's like to be that drunk, bad friend without actually being drunk.

The people that can play that game well really play that game well and it's scary.

Oh yeah, definitely. Sonic racing is a very fun game but i feel it occupies a much different space than Mario kart

So the way to take the series forward is to use the same ideas over with some slight new gimmicks, but the mistake Sonic team is making is using the same ideas over with slight new gimmicks?

I'm excited about Sonic Mania but I think people are going "this tickles my nostalgia, ergo it's go" more than anything. Which is fine but the future of the franchise being Sonic Mania would suck.

I'd be okay with the future of the franchise being good sonic games at this point.

Sterling plays an important role in at least trying to weed out both lovely corporate practices in the industry and cheap money-grabbing schemes from "indie developers" who just crank out garbage and poo poo it onto Steam. He had an ad-farming site taken down shortly after he did a video exposing them, he's had attempts made to sue him which backfired on the assholes who tried it...

Call him "grating" or what-have-you but he's one of the only people out there actually trying to push back against some of the worst aspects of the gaming industry. His clickbait articles on Destructoid were the only things I had a problem with, but that's in the past and he doesn't even write for them anymore that I know of.

I just wish he could do all that without the persona and being a bellend. But I suppose that doesn't bring in the views in the same way
