So, which character are you first gonna choose to play as in Mania? I'm debating to go as Sonic solo or the classic Sonic & Tails duo. Kinda hope cpu Tails can screw you over in the special stages for nostalgia's sake.

sonic, then tails, then knuckles, like god intended

You can collect all time stones, or, alternatively, destroy the Metal Sonic projectors and robot capsules. You'll know if you missed them when you get to Act 3, which will be the Bad Future variant in which Sonic Mania is delayed 2 weeks.

It's not often you get to say somebody is wrong 8 times in one post

edit: ok 7 times, the camera is pretty bad just like every other 3D action game

Sonic Adventure 2 is okay. Rouge is insufferable, Shadow is hilarious, Eggman deserves a standalone game.

The three roles of APCs:
Transports.
Supply trucks.
Distractions.

On the whole I do prefer Adventure 1's soundtrack, but 2 has its moments.

I hope you mean this only as criticism of the original characters / story aspects. The gameplay is pretty solid and not deserving of a comparison to Penders.

While Sonic Mania is runnin wild, I rediscovered a few artifacts from my childhood, including my ratty old sonic doll that I used to sleep with every night. As a kid I was really hooked on sonics

The thing on the left is a trapper keeper. Do they even still make trapper keepers anymore?

Unless Penders is missing his true calling as a game designer/programmer despite his stated loathing of video games, that's pretty much what I mean. Cutesy furry OCs with "dark, mature themes" is pretty much what Penders feeds upon.

Unfortunately my Game Gear didn't fit in it because I got a rechargeable battery pack that screwed on to the bottom for obvious reasons. Also my parents and teachers kind of frowned upon me bringing a game gear to school.

I'm also pretty sure I had Sonic pogs. I think I must have given away all my old archie comics but they were in terrible shape.

SONIC MANIA FINAL BOSS [60 FPS] videos showing up on my youtube front page. stay safe everyone, I managed to avoid looking at the thumbnail.

Youtube has been trying to show me one particular (non-final) boss ever since the leak and the thumbnail basically ruins the entire thing for me anyway so I finally caved, watched it, and straight up deleted Youtube from my history to remove the temptation to see any more of this game.

God I can't wait for this game though.

That's underselling Penders by a metric ton.

I'm trying to tone down the hyperbole. Penders is awful though, and it's a warm comfort to know he will never have a job again and has to rely entirely upon his wife for support.
