Gangsta Knuckles literally is just Knuckles if we are talking SA2 here. :V

This one at least has a good look to it lol.

So...

Playstation Plus is basically Xbox Live?

Yup. Just as pointless to require for online play (which PS4 does, since Microsoft did so well with that model).

Wouldn't be the first time they did a Nintendo Direct in January. They usually do their first Nintendo Directs of the year on either January or February, depending if they do or don't do one in December.

Nintendo Directs usually have a 2 month interval between each broadcast. It goes without saying that there are exceptions to this and there really isn't a very defined schedule for them, but 2 months is the most frequent interval between them, so assuming there will be Nintendo Direct this month after one in November is a fairly reasonable prediction.

Anyway, it's always good to look forward to the next Direct, whenever it may be.

 

[Strofirko]

LMAO people speculating maintenance again..

 

[wedl!!]

Don't worry guys, it's just the Knuckles Mii costume being added in the maintenance a month early.

Maybe they're just done with and so they are just gonna give them to us now!

It's a late Christmas present with those two, obviously.

I finished watching Welcome to the NHK last night. Since I've come down with the flu I kinda just charged ahead with it since I can't sleep a wink anyway.

While I think the animation is still a bit shaky, the Mouse Road arc was ended poorly (it's really abrupt and sudden and doesn't tie everything up - I hear the manga and novel don't have this problem though), and the ending could have been handled a little better too, and the part about Sato hallucinating about his furniture and appliances being able to talk not being properly explained (again, something I hear is not an issue in the manga and novel), I overall think it's one of the best anime I've ever watched.

It's also the anime that will probably leave the biggest lasting impression on me, since it deals with a lot of realistic issues, many of which I have either experienced in the past, am currently dealing with, or am potentially set to deal with considering my ambitions in life (like becoming a game designer).

It's on the more mature side and is really meant for adults, so I wouldn't recommend it to younger people. Not because it has risqué themes (and even then I wouldn't say it has too much, you only see nude characters in three brief scenes or so) or violent themes, but because I frankly don't think anyone who's still in school and hasn't ever had a need to get a job yet and hasn't experienced the struggles that come with that, will be able to relate to what is one of the main themes of the show. So if you are someone who's main idea of anime is simpler things like action, comedy, sex appeal and fan-service, and anything else that screams "escapism", then this show still probably isn't for you, as it is very much a show that binds itself to reality and puts the negative aspects of escapism on blast. The show is also really depressing at points, with a large focus on dark comedy and a constant feeling of "everything that can go wrong, will go wrong, and in the worst possible way". So it's difficult to recommend this to someone who is depressed and lonely themselves. On one hand, it could be an eye opener for you, or it could make yourself feel even worse about yourself than before. Overall I'd say if you want a show that's a fantastic psychological drama/dark comedy, then this show is for you, but maybe don't watch just yet if you are currently feeling really down on life as I do feel some people could take this show the wrong way if they are down on themselves too much.

Nah, they are still in development. It's actually .

Sakurai loved corrin and bayonneta so much that he forgot wolf even existed in the direct, so they are releasing him now. They also forgot to add him with cloud.
#FREEWOLF!

You guys should check out this video by @Delzethin.

If I can do some shameless self-plugging...

...We also started something called "Feature Content" today on Source Gaming. If you think something is cool/ interested let us know and we'll feature it on the site (if its good ).

If you haven't noticed, we also started Cross-Posting. So we'll cross posts from select sites semi-regularly.

What does this mean? SG will get A LOT more posts, everyday. We have the next month planned (barring any surprise announcements) and there's over 40 posts planned. Best thing to do is to subscribe to us on Twitter or email (enter your email in the text box on the side). I'm not to going to post here every time a new translation comes up (and we have a lot in the works)/ article is posted, as I don't want to spam you guys too much.

Lastly, sorry that I haven't been active (been doing a lot of lurking but not posting). Got a big post planned for tomorrow, and I've been researching/writing/editing. A bit nervous, but it should be good :D.

No, it's not about Ridley!

Everything we worked so hard to maintain would be destroyed by a single slot in the coding

I might be a little late for the Sonic OC discussion, but I have to share this.

I made a Sonic OC for a cringe-type thread a while back and someone actually made a sketch of him.

Here's the character I made

and here's the sketch some kind Anon drew for me. The laser sword is actually apart of his backstory.

People haven't "always" hated the Adventure games. For their times, they were fantastic. The problem lies in how horridly they've aged as well as how much has been "exposed" because of said age. There's a reason so many people claim that SA2 was one of the best games ever, because at the time (2001) it really WAS pretty cool. Actually, both SA1 and 2 are almost testimates to the Dreamcast itself.... Amazing for its time, but quickly got outclassed and outdone.

I do feel Arin/Egoraptors complete distain of Sonic certainly didn't do Adventure 1 any favors. For the record, I tried replicating the glitch where he warped on top of the loop in Emerald Coast... You have to be doing something very specific and borderline INTENTIONALLY to make that happen. I'm not screaming conspiracy theory, and I'm not saying SA's scripted segments are really that sound to begin with, but Arin has such an obvious vendetta against Sonic as a whole and it's pretty irritating at times. I don't usually let myself get angry over Youtubers of all things, but I was grinding my teeth at Danny's comment of "Sonic Boom eat your heart out" at the end. Dan's lack of video game knowledge really does make him so easy for Arin to mold.

Don't take any of that too seriously... I've honestly just grown a bit of a grudge/distain against Arin for several reasons.

I actually enjoyed Adventure 1 when I played the VC version on the PS3, TBH. Most of the gameplay styles were pretty. . .unnecessary, but Sonic's story was incredible.

And pretty much ANYONE who goes out of their way to insult Sonic as much as possible, ESPECIALLY when they have no idea what they're talking about and are just being manipulated by their spiteful buddies, just drives me NUTS.

It's gotten to the point where seeing a YouTube video make a "Sonic is dead" or "Sonic sucks" joke is basically just cause for me to avoid the entire channel from then on.

Like, we get it, humanity. The hipster mentality turned to mainstream and it's about as much of a boost to your mentally twelve year old ego to insult Sonic as it is to play GTA, Halo, and COD and watch NC17 rated movies. STOP BEATING THE DEAD HORSE.

I know how much you love Johnny so obviously you've seen this already, but just watch that intro sequence a few times on repeat and tell me it doesn't make your lips curl up a bit.

Wait. . .did someone say "Sonic OC?"

May as well share my deliberate attempt at making a non-awful one, then.

LOL I didn't even notice.

The shoes ARE like, the least well thought out part of that design, though.

Everything else went through major changes and then stabilized, but I still kinda just kept throwing the shoes on there.
