It's not *new* new, but I've put together a compilation of all 11.5 hours of Sonic retrospectives I've made so far!

And this is only like half the history! I shudder to think about how much longer this thing will get when and if I make it to the present day. :V

Games per decade:
1990s: 3
2000s: 1
2010s: 5
2020s: 1

Yeah I quite enjoyed the 2010s.

Keeping it to one per franchise, it'd be something like...

1. Sonic Generations
2. Donkey Kong Country 2
3. Team Fortress 2
4. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
5. Pokémon Blue
6. Metroid Dread
7. Super Mario Odyssey
8. Undertale
9. Banjo-Kazooie

I needed not Moviebob, but *The Game Overthinker*.

But woof, yeah, that quality is junk. It looked better on my phone!

But a TikTok that features absolutely no human creativity whatsoever, puppeteering dead people and public figures around without their consent and making them say memes? Just... "fucking gross" is an understatement, but it's all I got. Ew.

This was cathartic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz0o...

Like, I already don't get the appeal of TikTok, because I like being an active participant in what I'm choosing to look at. I thought that was one of the best things about the internet, it had stuff that I cared about, and I could find it!

Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist.

I'm really glad you were able to get SOMETHING to go right with this whole mess. <3 It looks sick!

The time has come to do what you want
Your life's on the line
So reach out for what you desire, and grab it!

Let's go! Let's! Gokaiger
Go! Go! Let's go! Let's! Take the helm
Your reckless ambition will change the world!

It's pretty amazing that we even got Sonic 2, considering everything that happened between 6/91 and 11/92.

Josh @geekcritique.org · 1d

You might think so... but really, that image was just from so early in the process that NOBODY ACTUALLY THOUGHT that was the part they'd screw up.

I mean, they knocked the physics out of the park in Sonic Advance 1, and that wasn't *that* long ago, so surely...

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

I love reading about Sega Technical Institute. I can just read about them for days. Why was Sega like that?

Today is the 25th anniversary of the release of Digimon: The Movie and y'all, when they talk about films that "couldn't be made today," THIS is it. A weird, funny and fascinating time capsule.

Just let Ian Flynn call the planet Mobius, you fools. That was the ONE thing that was consistent across all versions of Sonic canon, he always lived on Planet Mobius... except in the place where Sonic *wasn't* a phenomenon.

I'd have traded "two worlds" for this, and I *liked* two worlds!
