Just what I always wanted!

You can tell this was a long time ago because Bill Bellamy could still get work slightly more prestigious than voice acting in terrible video games.

I used to have that car.

I had no idea Howard Drossin was so young. I guess it was because of his name, but I always envisioned him as some grizzled old John Williamsesque dude.

Boobowski? Don't tell me that they actually were going to name her that.

Name aside I do like her design, kinda reminds me of manga Amy.

Hehe, Boobowski....

Oh yes.

This thing is a gold mine. Tiara? Concept artwork? Chris Senn, Yasuhara and the rest? God DAMN.

For reasons of perspective, how many of these staff members no longer work at Sega?

Wow. I didn't think innuendo could be so obvious that you're left wondering if it were unintentional after all, but there it is.

I surprised the team had so many Americans in it.

Just watched the whole thing.

I came like 3 times.

I tried to download it last night, figuring I could leave the PC on while I slept. I woke up at 8am this morning to a cheery message along the lines of UR DOWNLOAD STOPPED LOLZ. Gah. At least GetRight is still my friend.

Download it if you can. It's worth it for the old school vibes alone.

Don't bother. The highlights have already been posted in this topic.

Too late I'm afraid, Topher; 80% and counting. I might as well go all the way now.

OK, so I watched the video...

On the whole, I wasn't that impressed. It was cool to see some of the creative minds behind the games, the concept art and so on, and Howard Drossin could really wail (although I would have loved him to shred a Mushroom Hill solo on that Gibson he had), but everything else just seemed like something that would have got me excited if it was, say, 1994.

Two things really stuck in my mind though... one was that the chick presenter was hot, and the other was that crazy guy with the beard and ponytail taking Bill Bellamy on a tour of the prison. What the hell was up with that fucking guy? He was nuts.

Me too! Until my friends mom backed over it cause I left it in the driveway. :(

Sonic Char-G, ah the memories of turning right perpetually. I used to race it against Cyph's remote control Mario Cart.

So, Tiara or Amy?

Tiara. I have gotten tired of Amy's ditzy, insane, Sonic-obsessed antics. It was alright when she looked younger and was nicknamed Rosy The Rascal, back when Sonic's world felt a lot more fun and lightweight. Now I just want the bitch to die.

Tiara on the other hand looks like she has a lot of attitude, and doesn't seem to be the superficial bubbly type that Amy is.

She looks like a generic female lead found in a lot of 80s cartoons.

Amy's equally generic in a more Japanese fashion, but Tiara's archetype I find more tolerable and even enjoyable. If Tiara was simply an incidental character that didn't appear every other game, I think it would have worked out okay.

I don't know, I'd prefer Amy. From what I've heard, Tiara would've been more of the "hey, I'm a girl and I kick butt, too. Look at me breaking stereotypes" sort of thing, which I'm sick of seeing, especially in cartoons.

Tiara. More western like, looks less annoying.

In Sonic adventure Amy improved a lot, but unfortunately Naka thought it was best if she kept being a annoying _____

Tiara has been recycled as Blaze the cat...

What? Tiara and Blaze share absolutely no resemblance at all!

What kind of animal is Tiara anyways?
