Yeah I wrote a post on it in the Bad Runs thread in BSS, while the above did not quite happen, he did just plainly ignore sonic in favor of his OCs.

I do love just how loving lazy he was though.



This is Isaac, a millennium old robot who has been monitoring the world since it was "Gene Bombed" and created a race of animal people and 4 fingers humans, he is definitely NOT a gold coloured E-102 Gamma, and I don't know why you think that, the 102 is just how many bitches he gets being blinged out like that.

One of his court demands however was "Archie take my ending for Sonic as the canon ending for sonic!" Because Penders sees himself as the scribe of all things Sonic, a series he has never played. He still expects Sega to come to him and be interested in giving him the comic back.

Do you have a link to the write up? I always hear about Penders but never really looked into it so all I know is the guys a awful artist and he got in a legal spat with Sega over Sonic.

That level looks like it plays like trash visuals aside. Like it's a drastic step down from Generations, it's lacking enemies in it and it just feels flat to me. Just a handful of randomly placed springs and boosters and that's it.

Eesh.

I like that the koopalings were retconned into being generals while they're still obvious kids.

Like I can imagine Miyamoto kicking down the door, screaming "YOU'RE ADOPTED" then leaving.

A Sonic themed cafe opened up recently in Japan (similar to the recent kirby one, pokemon etc). It has the usual stuff you'd expect from some sonic themed eats but uh, there's also Shadow the Hedgehog Cheese.

That was last year, and there were two different ones. There were even posts in the thread about it! I ate at both, of course. My biggest regret is not eating the exact replica of the ice cream sundae Chip eats in Sonic Unleashed. It was like 45 degrees outside so I had the Sonic Mania pancakes instead. I guess I also kinda regret not trying the Chili Dog at the first Sonic Cafe, but I've never had one and figured Japan, which generally doesn't even have them, wouldn't be the best place to start.


No, just tracks from the games. They seemed to just be playing Amy's theme on loop when I went though. The second cafe didn't have any music as far as I can remember, probably because it shared some of its space with the Pen Pineapple Apple Pen cafe.

Oh huh, my bad then!

Kinda fun reading about these cafe's but the sonic one sounds slightly phoned in :v: Would still like to check it out though.

I think it's okay to feel a bit of extreme depression about stuff like this if I'm being perfectly honest. I never read the comics outside a random issue or two as a kid and it's still kind of easy to imagine the gravity of the announcement to those that were fans of it and stuck with it most of their lives. It's like saying goodbye to some good pals, nothing wrong with that.

Make a big ol effort post on some of your favorite issues if you want, feel free to get it out there. I'll read it.

Sonic jumps through giant rings and is teleported to a nightmare hellscape minigame

If, say, a fly just buzzes through a normal ring does the same thing happen? Does the fly have to play blue spheres to escape?

No idea, this might be a special case because it's something recognizable though.

Speaking of, I haven't seen it myself but apparently someone got a early copy of the collectors edition and streamed the game earlier today? Or most of it? I'm not sure.

Only thing I wanna know from the leaks is if the level design/enemy placement is on point. Watching stuff like Before the Sequel and there's so many off screen untelegraphed attacks that it has me kinda antsy

I went to change the special edition order I had for the ps4 over to the switch but according to gamestop "dude sorry, we only got a single switch allocation and the dude who got it showed up early decked in a sonic shirt and everything."

So stuck with the ps4 one. Ah well.

Note that the Sonic shirt thing doesn't work just for this one game. It's standard GameStop policy that Sonic-shirt-wearers have dibs on anything in the store.

How? Like I don't want to know specifics but it's not exactly a story driven game and the only thing I can think of being a downer is if the final boss is incredibly terrible.

Does it just flash a sign in neon letters saying SONIC MANIA 2 NEVER or something?

Apparently it leads directly into Sonic Forces from what I've heard people complaining about? I haven't looked it up to see myself.

Lmao I called that on another forum. Possible good ending spoilers I said it kind of jokingly but Classic Sonic in forces has the drop dash and they haven't really shown anything of that game off, not even a release date. I said something along the lines of "watch you beat it and that's how you get forces release date."
Only reason I can think of to get super annoyed with it is that it dates the game. Gonna be awkward going and playing it again in a couple years time and see something related to Forces COMING SOON.

Something I've genuinely always wondered about but what's with Sonic 2's ending? As a kid and to this day I still don't understand why it's grayscale and in a tiny box floating in a white void.

Stairmaster posted:

the fact they didn't give the game an actual loving ending is enough of a reason to be mad, the almost lazy forces tie in is just a pointless cherry on the cake.

Most classic games just had sonic point at you and that's it. It's why I was so baffled originally.

Sonic 1 Sonic runs into green hill and points at you
Sonic 2 Sonic lands on the Tornado then jumps back off it to point at you
Sonic 3 + K has the Tornado catch the master emerald and sonic and he jumps/flys at you.

That's patently wrong because they're all proceeded by you wrecking robotniks poo poo and returning home.

I haven't seen the final boss or anything but I assume you wreck robotniks poo poo in mania too. It's just you do a fingerpoint/pose somewhere else.
