But yeah, good video game! Gonna play as much as I can of this open network test while it's ongoing, it's very addictive. Kept saying on the livestream 'one more race', only to play for another fifteen minutes each time lol. Looking forward to the full release!

'Sonic Racing CrossWorlds' is a ton of fun. It controls great, the online is insanely chaotic and it has a ton of vehicle customisation! Really impressed with what I played!

Only complaint is the sound mixing, the music and sound effects get way too loud at the start of a lap

🚨 NEW VIDEO 🚨

Years before he started working on the 'Sonic' franchise officially, Ian Flynn created and wrote over thirty issues of fan-made comic books based on it. Figured I’d do a brief overview of his three titles; ‘3-B’, ‘Ultimate Sonic’ and ‘Other M’.

Hi everyone,

A close friend of mine has set up a gofundme that will help him escape from an abusive household and move into a new place. He can cover 2/3 of the rent himself, but needs help with the last 1/3.

Please consider donating and sharing if you can 💛: gofund.me/11dcc2b7
