I thought Sonic Stadium was the go-to place. Maybe it just seems that way because their news is crap (they ate that Richard Kuta "SONIC MOO-VEE!!!!!" bullshit that everyone else could smell a mile a way), but the site still manages to attract swarms of twelve-year-old fanboys who think anything befo...

Well, I'm stumped. I'm sure if the plot of the movie revolved around this strike, I'd probably have heard of it (since you say it's just mentioned).

Well, it's not like nobody else can make the exact same voice (or at least, one that resembles it closely). I mean, it works for Donald Duck. True story: close inspection of Donald's original voice and his current voice reveals differences that, despite your best efforts, can never again be ignored...

usual closed-minded whinging. Now that's just not fair. After what the series has been through, it's a little unrealistic to expect people to think "hmmm, that sounds like a great idea, and I trust Sega to pull it off." Sonic's had a few shining spots, but the failures still outweigh the successes....

maybe the hinted-at the Sonic 2 remake, which Ogawa said he'd want to do. W-what? Remake? But how? In 2D? In 3D?! I don't know if I can handle Sega doing a 3D version of Sonic 2... I don't think I can handle them even doing a PORT of Sonic 2 at this point... I think I would have to turn to a life o...

Last night I had a dream that there was a new Sonic game that came out, and I bought it but then demanded my money back before I even left the store. Wow. Even your subconscious can tell this game will be crap. With Sega's famous ability to learn from their mistakes, we might as well assume your dr...

To who, employees? It's a miracle the TRU near me hasn't gone out of business yet. Maybe I just go at the wrong time, but every time I'm there the place is damn near empty.

He's not even making his taunting subtle here. Sakurai's getting cocky. And from what I've seen, fanboys internet-wide are throwing angry crying bitch fits over it. As for Assist Trophies, nothing against Tails but I'd rather see Robotnik get a spot if each third-party only gets one (which is proba...

But I have to wait until the 23rd to buy MARIO AND SONIC AUX JEUX OLYMPIQUES. Also, I need to go to Europe.

Sparkling jump was <i>64</i>? Must be why I don't recall it; only version I bothered to get all the stars in was the DS remake, and I don't think the jump sparkles after 150 stars in that. I got every star in 64, and I don't remember any sparkling jump, just Yoshi on the roof. But that was nearly a...

So, I take it the strike is officially going down, then? I haven't heard anything to the contrary. CNN's got jack to indicate it going either way. I think it officially began as of midnight.

It's not that I don't watch television, it's just that I'm usually not home during weekday primetime. I rarely see an ad for a show and say "Wow!

Also if there was to be a chemical plant zone what would be the best way to capture the feel of it? You could have moving or break away flooring with mega-mack underneath to capture that particular aspect.

So far, there's a lot of classic feel to Brawl Sonic, so I still have hope that he'll get a classic stage. If he gets a 3D-era stage, it'll probably be at Sega's insistence.

But hey, Green Hill Zone was in SA2! Let's hope they remember that.

highway levels. F-Zero? Aside from a "green" level, a casino/pinball/neon level, and some kind of industrial level, I don't think there are many levels that are real staples of the series. Most of the other locales (water, snow, fire) are usually interchangeable and could individually be left out o...
