Sonic review

Here's a one sentence review of Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog cartoon I wrote for a post on the ConTV Facebook page.

With crazy stories and crazier art, this Sonic The Hedgehog cartoon may not be one of the best but it still has the heart of the Sega mascot while being very Looney Tunes like.

What anime would I make?

91.8 The Fan Facebook page asked what type of anime would I make? I commented:

I would do a sci-fi action/comedy like Outlaw Star but more of a harem. Alien babes everywhere! I can't trust myself to do Gundam justice.

I had this idea in my head since I started watching Gate on Crunchyroll.

My powers could be...

 For a contest Sideshow Collectables on Facebook asks:

Radioactive spider bite = Spider-Man!
What bit you and what kind of hero or villain did you become?

I commented:

A lizard, giving me a layer of skin that can absorb radiation, block fire, slows down bullets, and stops some knife attacks. I have to keep shedding my skin about once a week but even the peeled off skin still holds some of it's strength for science use.

My fav Mortal Kombat character?

I said:

Johnny Cage, because he's a movie star and that alone is cool.

DK Publishing asked on Twitter who was my favorite character from Big Hero 6? I said:

FRED! I love his outfit and his attitude. Don't get me started about his dad. ;)

My favortie thing about Star Trek 2

This is a comment I wrote for the Star Trek Wiki for a contest.

        My favorite thing from Star Trek Into Darkness was the 3D. It really was the best 3D movie I've seen and I've told others that they should pay for the 3D.
        The 3D made the movie feel a little more real and life like. Sure beats Iron Man 3 3D for sure. The trees blended in so well, the spears looked liked they were coming at me, the ships looked like models floating in the air, and the actors (mainly their closeup faces) looked like a person standing in front of me and not just a movie screen.
        Star Trek Into Darkness did a lot of things right and well, some things really not well or just not right, but it was Star Trek Into Darkness that showed me what a real 3D is from beginning to end and what all future 3D movies I see will be compared to (namely World War Z & Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2).

Thrilling

Redbox's blog has a contest to win a DVD with signed poster and hoodie.

Music movie mess

On the Redbox blog there's a contest to win a DVD by posting a comment of what's your favorite musical. I posted:

Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog is my favorite. The South Park movie is second.

If the dead could ask

Here is a question I post in the comments of both the Walking Dead and Talking Dead Facebook pages for guests True Blood’s Joe Manganiello and The Walking Dead Creator and Executive Producer, Robert Kirkman to answer on tonight's Talking Dead.

What would happen if Rick's group from the show some how meets Rick's group from the comic? Will they be all buddy buddy, one group kills the other, or something else?

Knowing the comic and show the answer won't be a good one.

NC

Nostalgia Critic is back on the That Guy With Th e Glasses website. It sadness me that the new show Doug Walker had in it's place Demo Reel now has to go away. Here is a comment I posted to the announcement:

I really did miss Nostalgia Critic a whole lot but I've moved on and kept watching the other reviewers while enjoying Demo Reel as much or more. You do whatever you want Doug, this isn't a wrong choice in any way. I have fell in love with your new show Demo Reel from the start with the great acting, writing, camera work, and a good story line. As great as it is to see the Critic back at full time, I'm going to miss Demo Reel a whole lot due to it's short life, all the things that could have been done with it, and the way it just was. Welcome back NC, but PLEASE KEEP DEMO REEL ALIVE!

Demo Reel is one that I do want to remember.

Digital win

This week on IGN's Daily Fix on Friday the 19th Naomi Kyle ask whether you prefer digital or retail games? Someone randomly picked will win a new white PS3 game bundle. I put in the video's comments:

Digital. Better deals, takes less shelf space, easier to find, on more platforms, no worry about scratches or dust, and I don't have to worry about reselling when I'm don't playing. Oh wait. :P

I plan to buy retail as long I can find what I'm looking for with little to no damage at a good/great price but with all the junk I have from all the years that needs to be taken care of the cheaper deal of digital is working out better for me each day.

The red action list

Redbox blog asked who was your favorite action movie star? I said Bruce Campbell and I wasn't the first to say that.

"Bruce Campbell from Evil Dead and Burn Notice and well he's great in everything he does."

Doctor's drums

Another week of picking my favorite line from a Doctor Who episode. This week it's The power of three. My favorite quote is said by the Doctor: "How do you people manage one heart? It is pitiful." This is my favorite line because it shows that the Doctor has weaknesses and that even his greatest weakness is just a little bother to him.

Here's the trailer for the episode.

A Doctor's gun

For this weeks Doctor Who favorite quote contest I had to pick a quote from the episode "A Town Called Mercy". Here is the comment I left.

Isaac: Everyone who isn't an American, drop your gun.
This is my favorite line in the episode "A Town Called Mercy" because it was said by a good actor. It was a funny line. It fits well in the stories of the 11th Doctor.

Here's the trailer for the episode from BBC.

I liked what they said.

There is a Doctor Who contest where I need to pick my favorite line from the episode "Dinosaurs on a spaceship". Here is what I said with the line and why I picked it.

At the 30 minute mark queen Nefertiti asks if Amy was the Doctor queen, Amy said
"No no, I'm Rory's queen. Wife. Wife, I'm his wife. Please don't tell him I said I was his queen. I'll never hear the end of it."
I find this quote to be my favorite from this episode because it not only shows that Amy is trying to 1-up queen Nefertiti but that she feels like a queen around Rory. Not that she thinks of her self that impotent(which she is) but that the way that Rory treats her she feels like a queen. With a great man as Rory, knowing the Doctor to take her on adventures, and facing being the horrors of the universe only to walk away alive she would feel like a queen.

Here's a trailer for that episode:

Not bored alone

This week on The Escapist Magazine Zero Punctuation Yahtzee goes over Borderlands 2 and has the same feel I do about the first game.

The Escapist : Zero Punctuation : Borderlands 2

My comment on the website: "I feel the same about the first game so it looks like I'll feel the same for this one too."

Fixes for Minecraft on XBOX360

G4 asked:

For those of you who are playing the console version of Minecraft, what do you think?

I commented:

"The sound when you wrote on a sign bugged the hell out of me, being able to heard lighting is nice, and rain not going through blocks will make the worlds look a lot better. Thank you for the fixes but it could use some more and can't wait for more stuff to be added. :) ♥"

Some clothes are better than none?

A comment I posted on the FRONT Magazine ALT Girl DIY Katie Jane gallery.

"Now this is nice. I’ll never say no to a naked woman but it’s good to see a gallery of a woman just looking hot."

A future of Sonic

The 1 thing I always think of in a new Sonic game is 2 player co-op. Sonic 2&3 had it, Sonic Advance 3 had it, and Knuckles Chaotix had it. Soic 2 is one of the perfect games for me because of the co-op that me and my sister used. I have dozens of games that have a online, system link, or split screen co-op to them.

Look a Super Mario Bros. Wii, that game could have been a 2-4 player Sonic game if SEGA used my idea that I had for a few years now. It doesn't need to be 4 player, but something like LEGO Star Wars where 1 player can switch between Sonic and Tails with a dropin out co-op for a friend.

Go back to the roots of Sonic 2&3 by just having Sonic and Tails in it. With the 2 characters the game can have puzzles like the 2 to hit 2 buttons to open a door, use Tails to lift Sonic to areas he couldn't reach alone, and beat Badniks with shields by having Sonic stand in front as Tails attacks from behind.

This game could be on any system. Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii could use their online multiplayer, while phone and other handhelds could just have offline multiplayer. New characters could be DLC (did I just say that?). Sonic 4 is on all of those platforms and Sonic 2 is on even more.

This new game can be a download only game too. Sonic may have too many friends these days, but having one in a game with him is better than none (looking at Sonic 4). Sonic is my favorite thing and I want to enjoy it with a friend.

Sonic Generations of me

Way back in the year 1992 the video game company SEGA releases the sequel to its biggest selling at the time. This game is now available on dozens of platforms. It was the first in the series to have co-op play. The game I’m talking about has an epic story without a single word being said with music that I still sing today. This adventure spans four days around, under, and over one island, even in space. This video game that got me loving video games and the main character that stars in it is Sonic The Hedgehog 2.


It was Christmas and toys were everywhere. One of the many items me and my sisters got was a SEGA Genesis that came with Sonic 2 which we had to share. I played with it the most so I came to owning it. We also had a NES with one or two games and an Atari, both of which we hardly touch. They were not as fast, bright, and entertaining as the new system in the house that will turn me in to a gamer. Some other games were rented here and there like Mortal Kombat 3 but didn’t have the gameplay of Sonic 2 which was the only game at the time I enjoyed. It would be some years later until I play the first game but not as much time would pass until I play the sequel Sonic 3.

Sonic 2 was the first game I beat, over and over again. Sonic 2 got me in to collecting all of the rings, I still fail at it. It also got me to start seeing the patterns in enemies and bosses. After many times of play I then started to see that the faster I play the bigger point bonus I’ll get. I replay levels to find hidden items and faster routes. When I finally got all of the chaos emeralds a whole new world of Sonic opened for me thanks to Super Sonic. Sometime later I came across video game codes for Sonic 2 that just crank up the crazy fun for me to have. Enter the level select to replay my favorite parts all I wanted, enter the sound test part to chill to the tune without enemies or time limit, and then came the debug code that not only had me making a crazy fun game in to just crazy but had me to follow the path of a gamer to the road of game maker. The debug code not only gave me a peek of what a game can do, but how they are made and worked.

Most people may say that they love Sonic 3 more but there would be no Sonic 3 if Sonic 2 didn’t start the grand story of the Death Egg. The Sonic comic book and cartoons came out the year before Sonic 3 which shows that Sonic 2 had been doing so well in sells that more money was put in the idea of Sonic to make a comic book with a continuing story that still runs today and two cartoons, one that's all wacky comedy which each episode could be a standalone and the other cartoon is an epic tale with humor to keep it friendly with lots of darkness and even a bit of sadness too.

The Mario games like to have the word bros. in the title but the player can only play as one of them at a time where as in Sonic 2 the 2 does not only mean that it’s the second game but also that two player can play at once. Player one plays as Sonic who is the only one who can get power ups, hit the signpost, lose rings when hit, has the camera following him, and dies. Player two plays as Tails with the same moves, ability to hit baddies, collect rings, and the ability to not stay dead. It was with this type of game play the that teamwork skills are made by having player one move the camera while player two takes the hits. My sister was player two which was a stepping stone for her to become a gamer as well.

Sonic is my favorite thing. He has done more wrongs than Mario but Sonic gets right the things Mario can’t do well or at all. Starting with Sonic 2, continuing with the comic book, and now plans to take the Xbox360 and Wii to the heights of new game play fun for everyone at the speed of sound, Sonic won’t stop no matter the speed bump.

Happy birthday Sonic!
