New Sonic Trailer

[Jawscvmcdia (2)]

Vast improvement upon the original, what do we all think of it?

This is funny, right?

[Jawscvmcdia (2)]

Sonic’s new look… yeah. That was a bit awkward, wasn’t it Conan?

[Ben Saunders]

Always wanted to know what Sonic’s cock looked like

[desbug]

Red Dwarf / Sonic crossover? Surely that’s missing the obvious open goal of a Red Dwarf / Mario crossover? I mean, just imagine: Princess Peach whacking those green pipes with various turtles and complaining if they make a sound out of sequence. Hilarity would doubtless ensue.

That fucking font

I nominate this thread for the hall of shame.

Hmmm, the Red Dwarf opening theme would be pretty well-suited to Jun Senoue’s style of widdly guitaring.

But what I’d really be interested to hear is a version of the Red Dwarf theme arranged by Hideki Naganuma…

[Jawscvmcdia (2)]

Have any of you played Skinner Adventure?

[Moonlight]

btw Jaws.

Please stop trying to contact me. It’s bordering on stalker territory.

[(deleted)]

I can only admire your patience and restraint at using the word “bordering” there.

[Jawscvmcdia (2)]

When I have I attempted to contact you?

I nominate this thread for hall of fame status.

[Jawscvmcdia (2)]

Who else am I suppose to share my passion for Sonic T. Hedgehog and Red Dwarf with now?

[Moonlight]

You sent me a friend request on Discord from an alt.

[Plastic Percy]

Not to mention every second post you write is preceded with “@Katydid” like this is fucking Twitter or something.

Where are the power-drunk mods banning willy-nillily when you need them?

Shall we have a vote?

While the admins are here, why is the site so bloody slow to load from page to page? I click on a link and it comes up three seconds later or thereabouts. It’s been like this for years.

Also, do you call this pigswill chateau du fere? It is NEITHER ripe or light on the palate.

[Ian Symes]

Because you’re a cunt.

[Offline]

Well yes, but.

[Ben Saunders]

It’s not that slow is it?

[Offline]

I literally plan my forum clicks because I know I jump from tab to tab in the knowledge the next may not have loaded.

I sound like I’m complaining, I’m not really, I love this site.

At least I don’t stalk people, eh?

Guys?

I’d never noticed it took so long, now that’ll annoy me.

A combo of posters cuntishness and the sheer volume of material one presumes.

[Nick R]

Gotta load fast

[GlenTokyo]

Just thrown a chili dog at my router and got it down to 3.2 seconds

[Ben Saunders]

Yah now somebody’s pointed it out it’ll bother me. But I usually open everything up in new tabs at once so they load in the back ground

Maybe if we have a bit of an ol’ pray, God will help us out

Who knows.

[tombow]

it kind of depresses me just how many of us nerdy Brits/UK people have an emotional connection to Sonic/Mega Drive. All of our parents really should have gone a bit extra to get us those SNESes.

[Veni]

[Jawscvmcdia (2)]

Katie’s American, though.

[Dave]

Mega Drive was better than SNES, though, obviously.

The Mega Drive was out in the UK for fully eighteen months before the SNES came out. It’s no surprise that it stole a march. Also, from advertising to packaging to aesthetics to range of games, it was by far the more desirable object. Without the cultural memory of having grown up with the NES the way Americans did, Mario alone was never going to capture the imagination.

(I love the SNES, it’s got some of the best games ever made and its versions of Street Fighter pissed all over the Mega Drive. But it’s really not hard to see why ’90s UK kids grew up so loyal to Sega.)

[Ben Saunders]

I’m glad I turned up slightly later with all my new-fangled Crash Bandicoots and James Bonds, and more importantly, in the burgeoning days of piracy, which enabled my not-particularly-rich parents to give me many, many more games than I otherwise would have got if he had to actually pay for them all. My dad and my uncle would buy one game at Christmas, giving my cousins the original and me the copy. I got Crash Bandicoot 2 in 1998 and it took me until 2007 to get 100% in that game, so it had quite the replay value. I actually got an original copy of Spyro 3 in 2000, with a big chunky grey box and a picture on the disc and a manual and everything.

My Dad went so far as to make custom covers for Crash Bandicoot 3 and FIFA ’99 using clipart, and to this day they are some of my most (only) cherished possessions. It’s actually quite funny how not-very-good the Crash 3 one is, but it was clearly made with a lot of love, and the Fifa ’99 one actually looks pretty good, just definitely not official.

[International Debris]

I have never owned a games console.

I got an Atari 2600 when I was about seven.

I love Sonic, but then you get… this… side of the fandom, which makes me ashamed to be a Sonic fan:

Red Dwarf.

I sympathise.

[GlenTokyo]

I think anyone who uses the word “fandom” to should be at the very least prosecuted, and possibly, shot, unless they’re saying how shit a word it is.

Horrible word, the “tumblr blog full of anthropomorphised wolf versions of Lister and Rimmer” of words.

[tombow]

yeah, I guess I really never knew about Mario as a kid, it’s only as an adult I really got how classic the Mario games were. As far as I was concerned, Sonic was THE platform game mascot.

“I got Crash Bandicoot 2 in 1998 and it took me until 2007 to get 100% in that game”

I guess technically I’m still trying to catch a fish and defrost that frozen world in Zelda Ocarina of Time. Even if I haven’t popped it in for a decade.

speaking of the Sonic fandom…there was that funny Sonic Boom episode that had a stereotypical nerdy Sonic fan come to town. Seemed to be based partly on notorious ones like Chris Chan (not sure we’re ready to talk about him here though…)

I think Pete Part Three already did that joke.
