I like how Elise's whole thing is based upon her never crying. That sure was a great plan concocted by her father, as I'm sure most children never cry over the the death of a parent or finding out that they have a world destroying demon in them. :v:

Especially ones under the stressful position of being a ruler of an entire country or whatever the hell it is.

A rule of no crying is right though. :colbert: This whole game is basically a vehicle for the messages from Machiavelli's lesser known work, 'The Princess (Of Soreana)'.

The most unbelievable thing of all this is that the woman who has gone 10 years as a child and teenager without crying even once was on the verge of bursting into tears because an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog said he was gonna leave.

I recorded more Shadow last night and at one point I wanted to switch to live commentary so I could curse and swear about how much I hate the bike section of Radical Train. I have a feeling Simon has some thoughts about that loving bike section too. gently caress. (I didn't actually do live commentary so never fear Hulkafans.)

Sadly Shadow doesn't get a Sonic Man sidequest. It would've been great if Sonic Man was sure Shadow was Sonic and you had to lose to him to convince him you're not.

I kind of cheesed into Radical Train with Silver, but you can get into that level in a more ridiculous way, by glitching into the mountains around New City. Let's see what we can do, and learn to say no.

It's back to Shadow! We've got to redeem ourselves for past failures, prove to GUN we have a high IQ, meet up with Rouge at the warehouses, take part in the car festival and so much more! We'll be exploiting poor design and glitches in some of this, and suffering from them in others! Join the party.

During the mission near the end, you clip into the mouth of one of the graboids and I kinda thought, "Well, that looks kinda dumb, but it's just animations - guess that's not a big deal."

Then, not 5 seconds later, this happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp94Vcgtcy0&t=1180s

That's you running over one of the spike balls like it was another piece of level geometry. You didn't just phase through it, you ran on top of it. There's some deeply disturbing things happening under the hood of this game's engine.

A sound effect plays as I do that so I'm not sure if a jump got canceled or what, but it is really weird.

Our final radical train! Are you excited? It's got a vehicle section! We've got some great Eggman lines! We get to repeat some cutscenes! Check out just how radical a train can get. In other news I think that somehow this game might be able to glitch my recordings. Between the problems Hulkamatt and I had recording last week and what happened today with the video, somehow this game has is glitching out my LP. On top of that the vehicle sections in this game are starting to make me long for the vehicle sections in M&Ms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOfU82I4M70

Okay, so here's a question. All three plots happened, right? So how many times does Eggman get on a train that gets blown up? Or is he like "Now I know trains are explody, better tie some hostages to one"? And how the hell is he taunting Sonic and Shadow at the same time while being and not being on the same train they're chasing? Schrödinger's Eggman?

Clearly, he is using train-shaped badniks, and two of the Eggmans are doombots eggbots.

It's very simple. There is only one train, but several parallel Radical Trains (as in the level, and not the train itself) and every iteration of this level was actually a result of Eggman's experimentation with time and space and so it all ties perfectly into the rich plot of Sonic 06, as we will see in the Final Story. :unsmigghh:

As we have clearly seen by Sonic carrying Elise, anthropomorphic hedgehogs do have significant arm strength. Maybe hedgehog arms are like crocodile jaws, where the biceps are really strong but their triceps are extremely weak. With weak triceps you'd have a difficult time climbing a ladder.
