The DLC for Sonic Frontiers is looking good! I do hope that with whatever improvements Sonic Team makes to Sonic Frontiers for the DLC will help them make better Sonic games in the near future.

I love animation, TV, movies, YOU NAME IT!

In more maintained tropes, lacking one of two major components would, yes. But, as you said, the whole thing needs work

You wanna do it or should I?

Well, Trope Repair Shop is full and has a large backlog already, so not much we can do yet.

Hey Kuro, could you confirm this? Do the knights of the Round Table speak in archaic Japanese in the original version of Black Knight?

I remember Percival saying "waga", which is an archaic pronoum.So, should have they been translated speaking in thou and thees?

Yeah, I've already got two other things for TRS I've been waiting for an open spot to add.

For, like, months. I've more or less given up at this point.

Since they were the subject a few pages back; does anyone actually read the comics or you just ignore them?

Sort of. They don't really use any archaic verb forms or anything, but they do speak a bit more poetically than their normal counterparts. Like it's more "fancy" than "old". Gawain and Lancelot both speak like Knuckles and Shadow normally do, but they (particularly Gawain) use some fancier words in place of more casual everyday words that Knuckles or Shadow would use. Percival's way of speaking is particularly stiff and uses archaic first- and second-person pronouns (though "ware"/"waga" can also just be used to sound cool and fancy rather than archaic, and it's technically used in modern everyday Japanese just only in certain phrases), but that makes sense since regular Blaze herself already speaks in a somewhat fancier than usual way to emphasis her being a princess. And Nimue speaks a lot differently from Amy, but not particularly archaically, just way more polite and formal than Amy speaks.

This is kind of a hard translation question since you could make different arguments about what gets across their way of speaking the best in English. Even focusing on making their speech sound poetic in English can also make them sound archaic anyway because of how speaking in a stiff, poetic way in English can sound archaic in a way that doesn't necessarily apply to Japanese. I would say as far going all out and having saying things like "thou", the only character I think you could argue that for is Percival, but not the other characters.

It just happened to be on sale on Amazon last week, and it was delivered even sooner than I expected.

Also, I recommend the Game Apologist's Sonic Speedreading series on You Tube if one can't afford to get the comics. And also encourage his series Comicbunga about TMNT.

I haven't missed an issue, although I don't re-read that much. I have a little burnout with the series, so I only re-read on occasions. I am keeping an eye on Adrenaline Dubs, tho.

Thank you for answering my question, Kuro.

Incidentally, after playing through Frontiers, I decided to pick up Ikaruga on the Steam sale. I already own it for Gamecube, but that's in storage, and I'm going to appreciate the play anywhere nature of Steam.

I misread and thought the DLC was dropping on the 23rd. Then for some reason I thought it was dropping at the midnight that just passed in my timezone. Now I know it's coming in about 36 hours. I'm hype to collect those music tokens! And the Battle Rush! One thing that just crossed my mind that would've fit for this update, but I don't think is a part of it, would be a mode to replay cutscenes. That way I don't have to go back to youtube for them.

I can't believe that Sonic Spinball is going to turn 30 this year! Did anyone played Sonic Spinball?

Sure did. I had Sonic Mega Collection on the Gamecube, so you at least gotta try it out. I've never beaten Spinball - only made it to stage 4, never finished it. I do like the light adventure aspects... Well, at least, I thought that was what it was as a kid. But now I know that MOST pinball tables are mission based anyway, being Video Game just let's Spinball do it in a more straight-forward way.

I do like how unique the soundtrack is, too. Very synthetic, robotic sounding.

I played it in one of the collections on Gamecube, but didn't go beyond the first level.

DLC wave one drops at some point today.

I've played a ton of spinball. I've only ever beaten it once, however.

I used to play Spinball a lot as a kid, even though I remembered being terrified of the spider boss in the first level. But, I did managed to get through the game when I was younger.

I never got past stage 2.

Bosses were freaky looking, though. Boss 2 reminded me of Giygas.

Owned it, played it, finished it a few times, but those later levels get pretty hard.

First played it in middle school of all places (on an actual Genesis to boot). Never got past Toxic Caves, but I liked pinball so I thought it was cool.
