Maybe Eggman's internet boss fight quote was his version of "Ah-ah-ah! You didn't say the magic word!".

"Hmm, alright. So in this ending, Shadow faces off against the main villain of the game in a dramatic climax, learns the truth of his past, and then afterwards is depressed at the futility of his own existence. Which partner should we have backing him up at this point and trying to console him?"
"I know! How about the giant cartoon alligator that wears headphones?"
"Excellent. Put that poo poo in! Make it canon!"


Also, I like how "THIS IS WHO I AM" is still in all caps in the subtitles even when Shadow is saying it dejectedly

I liked that the sadbrains Shadow was actually slightly different in his delivery of "THIS IS WHO I AM". I feel a little bad for the guy. I hope he wrote about it on his livejournal.

Let me fix your avisynth scripts! It'll only take me a couple horus.
Shadow the Hedgehog strikes me more of a MySpace and Xanga user. The former so he can force people to listen to his music, and the latter because... uh...

I don't remember why people chose to use Xanga anymore unless they were banned from LiveJournal. I think it was darker and edgier?

:siren: Update Time! :siren:

There's no turning back now; it's time for the final episode! We're going to make our way through the black comet (again...) and deal with Black Doom once and for all. Make sure to also check out the second video for some primo bonus content. 👌




And with that, the LP has come to an end. Thanks for watching everybody! If you're going to take anything away from this LP, let it be this: If you think Shadow the Hedgehog and/or Crush 40 are good, that's fine by me.

For real though Sonic Colors is like my guiltiest pleasure in my OST collection.

Is the difference between the PS2 version and the GC version really so big, or was the horrible performance of the PS2 version the broken DVD's fault? Because drat, even in the video you can see the difference.

I went ahead and searched a few of the titles to see if I could figure out exactly where the crazy titles are from, since they don't seem to appear in the game. I found this, which has a delightful surprise if you click ahead 11 pages. (I can't figure out how to link specific pages in Google Books.)

This LP's been fun to watch, so congrats on managing to reach the end! Watching has not left me wanting to play the game, I must say.

(My favourite Crush 40 song is Open Your Heart. I say favourite, but it's the only one I like. Edit: Wait, City Escape was by them too? That's not bad.)

"Regarding the earlier confusion about how Vector ended up on the ARK, I believe you will find that in the Archie comics, the Worlds Collide story line had the world of Sonic cross over with the world of Mega Man. Presuming that Battle Network is Mega Man canon, Vector could actually enter the Internet via his PET and then upload himself in to the real world at a different location. As well, the missions taking place 'inside' the Internet are actually the main characters Navi's, with some custom appearances to look like their owner".

True words that left the mouth of someone I reluctantly call a friend.

Escape from the City isn't Crush 40, it's Jun Senoue with a different singer.

Budget and time constraints mixed with the fact that a significant portion of players in any game will not see the final bit tends to do a lot to make the quality drop.

Any other game I'd agree but here the quality is pretty consistent throughout.

Glad to see this fell into the edgy teen trope of "No, gently caress you dad!" Wow this game looks super bad in every way, and I am glad even my 10 year old self was able to recognize that this would be garbage from the ground up. I'm so sorry you had to buy another copy of this trash for the sake of the LP, oh and also having to play it.

I remember this game's writing being dumb even as a 13-year-old Sonic the Hedgehog fan, but as a person in his early/mid twenties it's even dumber. The gameplay and level design looks just as awful as I remember it, though.

Thanks for the elpee. I wouldn't have had the endurance to relive this game by replaying through it myself.

I call bullshit, Tails was clearly not in the first scene with the stupid paralyzing gas and all the characters standing around not animating at all. He was absolutely not in that scene, and then apparently he is there in the bit after the level where they're all cheering you on or something, I don't know I wasn't paying attention because I was so outraged that Tails was just suddenly there.

These last cutscenes are just so sloppy and badly put together! No one is animating right, Eggman's face is doing weird things constantly, characters appear without explanation, and then everyone is back on Earth after the comet blows up somehow? Even for this game, this last little extra bit tacked on the end feels super unfinished and lazy, what a note to end on.
