General Sonic The Hedgehog thread

What is buttrock exactly? It sounds like something some elitist made up.

Generic and forgettable...Heavy Guitar tracks. Like all the music from Shadow the Hedgehog.

Generic is a very subjective term although Shadow's music kind of sucks yeah save for a few tracks.

But Crush 40 had some memorable stuff I thought...I wouldn't call it that.

I have yet to hear a song by Crush 40 that was anything short of awesome. No matter what my general preference changes two, they're one of the bands I can just go back and listen to at any time and still love them.

Wanna know how much Sega cares about the Sonic community?

Enough to use their official Sonic Twitter account to promote the art of a man fully exposed on the internet as a pedophile.

Can't spell twitter without twit.

Who exactly are we talking about? The British dude? Sega's PR and marketing isn't good anyway.

This guy.

I'm looking at SEGA's Twitter right now and I'm curious as to which picture you're talking about.

EDIT: 'd I was looking at the wrong account.

To be fair I didn't know who this guy was until now but now that I think about it I may have heard about him on GAF.

He's not exactly well known outside internet nerdom.

Aww crap Psyguy, what happened to you man.

He was starting to get up to the level of LittleKuriboh thanks to having so many outlets (one of which was a podcast which had a load of guests on it including LK himself), giving him excuses to ride the coattails of whoever would let him while he continued doing his rotten behavior.

Believe me, the utter disappointment is shared.

PsyGuy was behind this:

However, he only did the arrangement.

I honestly don't know who this "Psyguy" is... And I suppose that twitter feed must've felt the same way when they decided to feature art from him. That or they're hoping to gloss over his infamy...

So, to change the subject, I saw Guardians Of The Galaxy. If they can make Sonic look half as good as Rocket and Groot did for the CGI/Live Action Sonic movie, it'll be good.

Uh, and before you ask... no, I'm not crazy. This is actually happening.

Yeah, I rather enjoyed this. It was pretty decently animated and it told the story of how Sonic and Tails met quite well.

It was a bit slow in some places, but it's generally good.

Yea, the pacing is pretty noticeable in some places.

There's just a certain grandness to the old-style Sonic 3D games that you just can't find anymore.

Sonic Christmas Ni GHTS and Sonic Xtreme, despite how clunky and unfinished they are, have some of my favorite aesthetics in the franchise. And both titles make me wonder why there was never a Sonic and Nights crossover.

Well the Nights bosses guest star in Lost World.

Only if you got a certain edition of the game and downloaded its DLC. But, then, I haven't seen a single copy of the game that WASN'T that edition.

A Sonic/Ni GHTS crossover would probably suck, in all honesty.

Gotta be better than the Sonic/Sabrina the Teenage Witch crossover.

And in all honesty, a true Mario/Sonic platformer crossover would probably suck, too.
