Sonic is basically a dead franchise. For the longest time, it tried to compete with Mario games and never managed to overtake its rival. Nevertheless, one could say they made an honest effort. over time, the gap grew and grew to a point where Sonic can't even be considered a rival of Mario's. He's just another meh platformer, on the same level as Spyro the dragon or Jak & Daxter.

Whaaa. Don't even mention the Jak series with those other ones. Jak's story was short, sweet, and to the point. A nice trilogy with two spinoffs that didn't do the main series any harm at all. With solid character development, and nice feels to wrap it up in the end of J3, I'd say it was a solid trilogy.

I also thought the Jak games were a clear cut above the current gen Spyro (at the time) and Ratchet games

I never got into Spyro. And I agree; the first Jak was so happy-go-lucky, black-and-white, save-the-day innocent. Then Jak 2 comes along and WOAH ****.
Praaaaaaaaaaxisssssssss....
That huge shift in the series' storytelling and character development hit me like a ton of bricks. I loved it, a lot. I just about cried in Jak 3 when [collapse=Jak died]you find out who Mar really is, and that old-mayor cool-mayor was your father all along. That amulet scene, man...[/collapse]

Yeah, Spyro is supposed to be more about collection than fast-paced platforming, and Jak at its best isn't even comparable to Mario/Sonic because platforming is no longer the complete focus. Crash Bandicoot, however, was an interesting rival.

Insomniac Games were a huge part of my childhood so I'll be biased, but compared to a lot of other crap, Spyro 1-3 were incredible platformers at the time, and Ratchet and Clank continued that trend (though the formula has gotten stale in the HD era). Jak and Daxter was also an amazing series, but I was never super into it after the first one. Jak II was a weird departure from the first game, taking a page from GTA 3 of all things with the open-world sandbox and adding guns. Jak II also has some random difficulty spikes which made me want to just put the game down for a couple weeks as a kid, as well as a lot of missions being ones that I hate most in games: timed missions and escort missions. I eventually beat it just to say I did, but I would never go back to it for fun. Jak 3 was easier and more fun, but that game just becomes a bit of a chore to get through for me. The only reason I would turn it on now is if I feel like going on Dark Jak rampages in the never-ending war between the Krimzon Guard and the Metalheads in Haven City.

There's this huuuge video games convention in Paris, the Paris Games Week, and Activision promised a free collector edition of Call of Duty Ghost to the 500 first ones to arrive at their stand.
They were 2000 to sleep in front of the venue, hitting each others with crutches and **** to be the first in line.
I used to simply dislike CoD, but now this made me grow to hate it. The media are going around saying "yo, dis iz wat vidjo gamez do 2 ur kidz". Not only is it a bad series, but it reflects badly on the whole gaming community by gathering so much pricks...

Speaking of Dota, what do people think of the new patch? I personally hate the roshan spawn time change, and after buying back you cant farm for like another minute or something which is weird to get used to. I dislike the jungle changes because it makes pulling and stacking more strict and not as much reward.

1) The Roshan spawn-time is a nice idea, but it might be a little too extreme. There will likely be a cool meta-game developed around maintaining and monitoring the Rosh-Pit, which is cool, but sustaining that for up to 3 minutes is pretty absurd. Still, it's better than straight up having a designated moment where everyone converges to the location on a map and has a battle/stale-mate for a while. It's a massive deal late-game, so having a random-factor isn't really too welcome, but having it be so distinct and strict wasn't healthy in the sense that it disregarded variables and general game-flow that factored into it (current deaths that just happen to be around that time, lane equilibrium at the given moment, etc... you could argue the prep for it was essential FAR in advance, but it's rather silly that something as significant as the Aegis was on a set-timing of reappearing to begin with. There's a reason Runes are game-breakers)
2) Buying back has been consistently getting nerfed for many years, and this is a really balanced way of doing it without breaking the mechanism entirely. Buying back at lower levels doesn't leave much 'no-farm' time anyway, and the only reason to buy-back in a later-game situation is during base-breaking in significant fights, which should imply a necessity for Hero and Tower kills, rather than just go afk creeps after the win/etc. More thought into the game, at the cost of 1 strategic decision (I won't need buyback for that MASSIVE fight yet, so I'll use it for more gold/exp in the meantime) is a +
3) The jungle changes still allow things like safe-lane supports to soak up some gold and control the wave, harder camps are actually significantly easier to kill at lower levels (3-5 or whatever) when fighting small camps isn't worth it, and yet not ready to engage the lanes. So the old line-ups aren't completely demolished, there's just a more important distinction to make between rotations, duals in other lanes, and tri-lanes. It was way too strong to have a safe-lane tri because of how much overall farm supports could safely get, while keeping a lane-farmer safe, that now farm-distribution takes much more care and work to decide between having it severely leveraged or not, and among however many heroes it should be given to. Hence aggro-tris to shut them down were nearly just as common, and even low-level pubs began adapting the play, where almost nothing else was seen at higher levels of play.
It's a better game now because of those 3 things, despite the oddities they are. :D
We should have a Smash-Dota night sometime!

Thriller music started playing outside the cafeteria. Like 8 physics students started doing the thriller dance, haha. There's also two guys eating lunch wearing a batman and superman costume. College Halloween is cool
I think the buying back is good, it's just... different after playing dota without that for a while. I guess the roshan is a good thing after looking at how you explained it, but I don't like an element of randomness being thrown in the game when there is already runes and camps that are random (to an extent). The new camps i just need to play more with to used to it, but I do like the idea of dual-lanes being viable.
We should definitely play a couple games of dota sometime.

I took someone's advice here and went back and played SA2 again...... still better than the stuff they crap out these day lol, Generations as I said was ok, but Heroes and everything after was just balls, and I actually tried playing them, couldn't finish them though, boring as all hell, not even touching Lost World, lately it's been that when I think a game looks bad, it usually is, and well, the reviews usually end up reinforcing that
And no Sonic Game outside the Genesis titles can be considered even remotely hard

This is on the P:M YouTube page, I suspect I'm seeing Ivysaur and Lucario. Do you guys think this has anything to do with the announcement made at the end of the last Turbo Tuesday video?

I play SA2 almost once a year :D. I actually think sethlon and I played it while he was at my house awhile ago(though that could have been someone else like reflex...I think it was sethlon though).

I absolutely love me some son1cgu1tar SA2 runs. Good lord some of those strats are amazing.
I wonder what they did to make Turbo Lucario Interesting. He already has on hit cancels, even though it's not on the level of Turbo mode.

Also, there is an orange trail at the top, which validates my fanon that they managed to get 6 players battles working and are going to use Turbo mode to announce it.

That doesn't really help, Tails and Knuckles have the same problem, I will agree that Tails is better on Sonic 2 and Knuckles pretty much breaks the game since the levels weren't designed with him in mind, but on Sonic 3 I feel like Sonic is the best because he's the only one who can full utilize all the benefits of the different shield power-ups.

My only problem with J&D was the really weird difficulty spikes in Jak 2. One minute it was a great game, the next I was being swarmed by hundreds of soldiers without warning. @_@ I raged at that game sooooo hard.
Really nice series, though. The first game is still my favorite, I kinda wish the others had been like that. Since I never got Banjo 3, J&D kinda filled that void a bit.
