TheNamedSavior posted:Didn't some of the artists at the studio that makes OK KO do an animation for jontron AFTER he outed himself as a fascist? Studio Yotta doesn't make OK KO (it's made by Cartoon Network Studios), they just animated a few of the early shorts (as well as the sonic mania intro and a buncha other stuff, though they didn't do the sonic mania adventures shorts), though there are multiple crew members who've done work for yotta in the past (including Ian himself on the sonic mania intro) Also I'm on an animation fan discord and a few yotta people are also there, and one of them mentioned that there was no talk of the Jontron intro being A Thing on the official Yotta discord that employees are involved in, so evidently it was something most of the people who worked for the studio were unaware of until the intro came out. Most of studio yotta's staff are freelancers anyways. Digamma-F-Wau fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Jul 22, 2019 |

Oh, well I feel stupid now. But not as stupid as Jontron. Jesus gently caress, that sounds like a mess. I hope the people who did that got chewed out.

That Sonic OK KO short pulled a lot from AOSTH and the Sonic Anime Movie. Pretty entertaining for a 10 minute thing.

Are there any sonic games on the horizon? Feels weird thinking that maybe they gave up.

It's been less than two years, hopefully Forces was a bit of a wakeup call to not fall back into the old habit of rushing a game out to meet a deadline (before Mania's hype window died, in this case). In other news, Tangle and Whisper both have merch in the official store: https://www.sonicstadium.org/2019/07/tangle-and-whisper-sdcc-pins-coming-to-the-sega-shop/ Doesn't necessarily mean that they'll appear in any games, but it's probably a good sign that Sega are invested in the comics. Forces/Mania/IDW seems to have been taken as an opportunity to align the official and spinoff products rather than doing things like Boom, so maybe we'll see that in the games as well.

Hey Sonic boomers, it's been a while! But it's an auspicious day, because a brand new Sonic game is just around the corner! https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/1174352506744238080?s=19

Been watching the old show In The Heat of the Night. I'm on an episode about a child who murdered a man. I gasped when I saw a familiar poster on his wall.  I had that exact poster on my wall. But I guess this proves that video games do make children into murderers.

When we bought a house like 20 years ago my little brother picked his bedroom because the kid who was living in it before had that poster on the wall when we toured the place. Good memory.

I like how Robotnik is this super angry giant, mad at that sculpture, mad I tell you. He's gazing at it realizing that his huge hands could never create such delicate piece of art. He's sliding his hand at the curvature of the two, mesmerized by how smooth it is, filled with envy at the privilege that these smaller creatures possess to be able to create such marvelous form. Meanwhile Sonic and Tails are smugly posing, looking at the camera. "Yeah, we did it, it was no biggie." The stonehenge of Mobius.

I got the Genesis Mini and I am sorry Sonic thread but I had to resort to save-scumming to get the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic 2. Kinda sucks that the Genesis Mini doesn't have the Taxman ports of Sonic 1 and 2. That would've been a great selling point.

He also added a seventh stage in Sonic 1 and it is completely loving impossible. Go to the level select menu in no save mode and set the number of emeralds to 7 to access. It absolutely blows.

No, Sonic 2's are bad but Sonic 1's are H O R R I B L E. Sonic 3&K's are...fine. But honestly get pretty boring by the time you're getting to the Super Emeralds. Sonic Rush is a good little update to the halfpipe but having to use the stylus instead of the D-pad is kinda silly. Frankly, the only special stages in the series I'd call actually good are CD's and Mania's. Mode 7 bitch,

Having widescreen is such a huge improvement to Sonic that I can’t go back. Sonic 1’s special stages aren’t great but I can consistently complete them all. 2’s always give me trouble and require memorization.

I've met several people that have fond memories of Heroes, but most of them never beat the game, as in beat the game with all teams. It just feels awful to play.

Party Boat posted:Knuckles' Chaotix has the best special stages. This is Correct. The bonus stage was cool as well, where you fall down into an endless void, and both of them had absolutely kickass music. I also have a soft spot for the Heroes special stages - completing the third stage was a nightmare, but when it finally came together I felt like a god. Chaos and Triple Trouble both had a good spin on the special stages too; it's disappointing that Mania is the only time that Fang got a reprise outside of Fighters.

The Heroes special stages are at least easy to cheese once you figure out the trick (stay in Power formation, spam the boost button, stay on the ground as much as possible and only move or jump when you have to). Power for some reason uses less of the boost gauge than the other two so as long as you keep collecting orbs you shouldn't have to worry about running out. They're still bad of course but they're at least manageable to be fair. Larryb fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Sep 26, 2019 |

what the hell are you guys on. i originally wanted to give a special shoutout to the heroes stages for being awful because imagine if the complaint about daytime stages where you hold boost were true but even worse because you have to mash the button for upwards of 2 minutes
