Yo, I'm Meat (which is a pun in Japanese based on my real name), single, male...
Wrong forum.
Lessee... I've lurked on the site for years, sometimes reading the forums, sometimes just the front page news section.
As for Sonic, I've been playing the games all the way back since the first one came out. My friend and I had an unspoken arrangement: I got the Nintendo stuff (though we both got an NES, no Master system for us during out Kindergarden years) while he picked up the Sega stuff. So I spent a lot of time at his house playing the original Sonic game. I'd eventually asked for a Genesis for myself, but my parents gifted me with a GameGear instead. For which I promptly bought Sonic. I even managed to beat it, but not with all the emeralds. Sonic 2 for the GG was pretty evil though. Can't get passed the first stage most of the time (even now!) and even when I do, I can never get the hangliders to work as they're supposed to. Anyway...
The early Sonic games remain some of my favorite games to this day, and I still subject myself to the newer games in the misguided hope that they will manage to create something that can remind me of the glory days. Of course, I'm a tad optomistic sometimes, though I try to be a pessimist- I actually planned to get Shadow the Hedgehog at launch. Luckily, a friend had rented it and I saw the horror of my ways in time.
Someone needs to rescue the Phantasy Star series and the Sonic series from Sonic Team's cold, rotting grip.

Hey, you sound simultaneously sadder and more productive than most people here. Don't worry though, we'll scrub that right out. At least the latter one.

Re: Attention New Members
So it's an octopus then?
I suppose I should actually use this chance to introduce myself.
I'm a wannabe artist, and a pitiful excuse for a sonic fan.
The reason I'm a pitiful fan? the only Sega console I EVER owned was the Dreamcast (I guess the game gear too, but yeah...). I had begged for a Sega console since I was 4, and I got a Super Nintendo when I was about 7. Luckily, my friend had a genesis, so I just went over to his house constantly and played as tails (I always thought tails was awesome until adventure 2, adventure 1 made me doubt him, until the ending). Not to mention I was TERRIBLE at the games, although I was decently good at exploiting tails (which isn't too hard).
The reason I'm a pitiful excuse for an artist, is this http://www.shmash.deviantart.com, in other words, my coloring is terrible.
And yes, I realize you don't plan to click on that link.

Re: Attention New Members
Hello,
I am known as Furaru on the forums that I go to.
I was actually working on a new avatar looking for a Green Hill Zone picture to used as a background when I came upon this forum. It is AWESOME as I am a huge Sonic fan. I played all Sonic games. Predominately on the Sega Genesis, however, when it comes to the GC and PS2 games I fell behind as I never owned either of those systems. I hope that they'll come out with a good Sonic game again, but that's kind of like hoping that the Apocalypse will fall upon man soon and destroy the world. A good Sonic game nowadays seems like nothing more than a dream. Sonic is what got me into Video Games, and it was playing Sonic everyday when I was younger that kept me sane. Sonic was the reason that I never did my homework when I was younger and was what I used to prove that I was better than my friends.

Re: Attention New Members
The apocalypse will come, it's inevitable. Humanity is already preparing it. One day we will destroy most life on Earth, be it by our general pollution, a nuclear war or anything like that. But the Earth will live on. A few races will survive and begin to create a new ecosystem. The apocalypse is not the end, it's a reset (unless we manage to completely bomb open the planet). Like the flood that caused Noah to build his ark.Furaru wrote: hope that they'll come out with a good Sonic game again, but that's kind of like hoping that the Apocalypse will fall upon man soon and destroy the world.
And maybe one of the new races that will form will eventually become intelligent enough to make a good Sonic game. ....haha.

Re: Attention New Members
Kinda like when you tried to run the cartridge systems (genesis, NES, SNES, N64, etc.) and the game didn't run so you just hit the reset button that systems don't even have anymore?The apocalypse will come, it's inevitable.

The Wii has a reset button.Furaru wrote: Kinda like when you tried to run the cartridge systems (genesis, NES, SNES, N64, etc.) and the game didn't run so you just hit the reset button that systems don't even have anymore?
It's so old-school... alternatively, you hit the power button instead of keeping it depressed or press all the buttons in whatever controller you have in order to reset your machine, but nothing compares to a proper RESET button.
EDIT: Also, about the apocalypse and stuff.
