Are echidnas insectivores as well?

I was always envious of Genesis owners cause at the time it was the "cool" system and I loved playing Sonic 2 at demo kiosks in the mall. Sonic was a big part of that "cool" factor and hell, I even liked the BAD Sonic cartoon (the one with the screeching chicken robot) and didn't know Sonic Sat A.M. existed until later in life. I do remember a show called like Sonic Rock or something ...

Anyway, I also really dug Sonic Adventure when it came out on Dreamcast. It looked great at the time and I still think the speed levels in that and SA2 are good, cheesy fun, even if I don't like the other aspects that make the overall product more "average."

I didn't play the originals the whole way through until much later on through emulation, but I can't tell you how many times I've beaten Sonic CD on my phone. To be fair, CD really isn't my favorite and that was mainly due to having my phone out in a lot of waiting rooms, but there's somehting about the simplicity of just going to the right and jumping a lot that is satisfying.

As others have said, the parts in the original games that slow you down are ... odd. I'd prefer they add some ryhtym sections where you have to jump on cue to slowing the action down. But that doesn't mean they're bad games.

As for the hate, if you say something loud and long enough with no one disagreeing it might as well be true in the minds of many people. There's nothing more arrogant than claiming a piece of media is objectively bad or good based on your subjective opinion. There's such a thing as a demonstrably buggy game, sure, but how fun somehting is isn't a scientific question and people on their high horse can blow it out their ass.

Man of Steel still sucks though ...

Also, didn't furries come from the Sonic fandom, kind of? I have mixed feelings about that.

In short, I like Sonic games well enough, the character has a cool design, and despite enjoying Game Grumps videos bashing some of his 3D outings, I thing he gets more hate than he deserves. Now I want to play Sonic Generations ... but I DON'T want to use PS Now to do it. Uuuughh.  

His alternative name is Joe.

I'm confused. Who does Marcello sleep with?

Oh dear God, the screeching voices on subbed, quirky, female characters. Ed was bad enough in English *shutters*

I used to work inventory and had a love/hate relationship with waking up at 4am and being done by2pm ... Until we were shortstaffed and it became 4am to 8pm then back at it next morning. Then it was pure hate.

Hope tomorrow brings you more energy!

Thing is i can get across the slide info while teaching practically.

Also, i did call a colleague after hours to sort it out ...

So is Trudeau (sp?) ... Never mind. Yay pandas.

Good luck w interview!

Congrats on the health! I love fruit, but a doctor once earned me away from too many oranges, which along w Fuji apples are my favorite. I usually turn to broccoli and salad for greens.

I don't juice, but I'd like a blender for protein shakes. That clumpy mess is nasty and physically hard to swallow.

I thought of Hero as well when watching The Great Wall trailer. Love that film. Its cinematography is poetic.

Looking forward to your reviews. I'll be buying Zero Dawn as long as reviews look good and asking for ME Andromeda for my bday. Woo games releasing close to bdays! 

Does this site have a review for The Last Guardian? I could write one. Then again ... I'd have to think of something new to say about it.

I've been drinking too much diet soda because buying a meal just seems easier and i feel like I'm getting cheated if i get water. I don't know why, i don't really enjoy those drinks that much ...

But yeah, sugar is actually comparable to cocaine in terms of intensity and regions of the brain that light up when you partake.
