I just don't like Erazor Djinn's design.

I know Sonic had unfitting characters in the past, but this is a bit much.
(Then again, I never played a Sonic game in my life, so I can't really talk)
Eh, I think the design itself is fine and I feel there’s a sort of novelty to him appearing in a game where he’s opposing a cartoony mascot. Then again I do have him in my Sonic fighting game roster so I can’t say much

I'm beginning to see why Gallade was a post game thing in the DS version of Sinnoh.

This Pokemon practically breaks the game in two.

I know I **** on the Sonic franchise a lot, so why do I keep playong the games?

Well... I just really like the characters, the little interactions, the funny and badass moments in the stories. I just love seeing them on screen, when done right.

Tbh, I would prefer mainline Sonic over mainline Mario if more than half the games were actually good 💀💀💀

Okay this son of a ***** triggered something in me.

The Erazor Djinn boss fight was something that legitimately broke me as a child.

Sonic Games are like the X-men movies. Most of them are actually thoroughly good, some even masterpieces, but the bad ones particularly stand for how absurdly bad they are.
This is honestly how I truly feel about it.

IMO, there's a lot more good than bad, but the bad are bad and take up all the real estate in everyone's heads and dominate conversation.

It doesn't help that the good games are far in and few between.

Like, between Gens and Mania, we got a whole lot of mediocre-bad and a contender for worst game of all time. And then immediately after we got another mediocre game.

I just wish SEGA gives their flagship franchise the love it deserves. They do it with other franchises, but Sonic is where they have issues for whatever reason.

I didn’t expect Venom 2 to do nearly as well as it did, it had a fair bit of competition and I would’ve thought people would just wait to see Spiderman. Glad I was wrong though, dunno how it beat GvK but at least they’re both top 5!

Silly person, Yakuza is the flagship series. And all the games are masterpieces.

Is it crazy of me that given based on some legends having Norse roots that Krampus being the daughter of Hel thus the grandson of Loki I'd love to see him as a sidequest mini-boss in God of War: Ragnarok?

Unlikely to happen but I can dream.

I made the mistake of watching bits and pieces of Twinkle Nora Rock Me.

The credits have more budget than the film itself.

4K OLED? It’s gonna cost the price of a whole new system isn’t it? Still glad they finally plan to unveil it.
I doubt It’ll be that expensive. Maybe. I’m curious to see if selling patterns will match how the PS5’s selling now, from frequently scalping to too high of a demand/supply ratio.

Speaking if Sonic, there were talks that it was considered have been an anime instead of CGI. It would've been cool to see, but just because it's anime doesn't mean it's automatically going to be better. And it makes sense not to be anime considering Sonic X bombed in Japan.

Let's see how the writers of Ben 10 and Generator Rex handle the blue blur.

I just came here to post that apparently, since I stopped watching it as a kid, characters on Sesame Street have been gaslighting Elmo over a rock for years.

Well, my university is refusing to have online final exams for all classes so apparently, I can't return home for another two weeks.

Joy.

Decided to change my top ten box office predictions for 2022.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Avatar 2
Black Adam
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Jurassic World: Dominion
Lightyear
Minions: The Rise of Gru
The Batman
Thor: Love and Thunder

Runner-Ups: Mission Impossible 7, Untitled Mario film

Just got the feeling Black Adam is gonna make lots of money mostly thanks to Dwayne Johnson.
