Just beat The Lion King story in Kingdom Hearts II.

That's the most that you'll get out of me in terms of Mufasa.

I once had a friend, now an ex friend, who said that Sonic should have the same number of characters in Smash as Mario.

Obviously this is ridiculous but if it were a thing, which Sonic characters would you add to equalize that number?

Sonic
Tails
Knuckles
Eggman
Amy
Shadow
Blaze
Silver
Vector

I get Metal Sonic as an echo, I really do. The thing is I just... can't picture Metal Sonic doing the Spin Dash. I know he does it, or at least I assume he does it in Sonic 4, never played it. But having Metal turn into a nondescript blue ball like Sonic feels... weird. Even in Sonic Dash he just rolls without actually spindashing. And given so much of Sonic's kit is based on that blue ball form... IDK.

Also Silver and Blaze feel iffy to me as picks

Ideally, Sonic would have a different moveset, or Metal Sonic's attacks would look different

and I just like Silver and Blaze, pure bias picks.

 

[Wario Bros.]

PMEX Remix has a huge load of Sonic characters so I know how they could work in a Smash game.

Out of curiosity who would you add over Silver and Blaze? They feel like the most obvious picks for me after the big 6

I just got back from the movie...

It was epic! I loved every bit of it! It was a 99/100 for me! Or should I say 98/100? Whatever! I love the part where...sigh...

Beware of spoilers, they are going to be below, and if you don't mind, still beware, click them at your own risk!

Spoiler: Sonic movie 3

I loved the part near the end where Sonic and Shadow are sitting on the moon and talking about vengeance being there and the stars like earlier. The part where the sun came up, it almost made me cry!

I liked how in the post credits scene, Sonic accidentally reached New York, where he meets Metal Sonic, and all those other Metal Sonic copies, and there, he gets saved from them by someone with a hammer.

Yes, Amy Rose was in the credits.

Also, in the really final credits scene after the credits itself, it is good to know that Shadow is still alive.

Maybe Chaos or Rouge or Omega? Idk. They just seem too small.

Oh also, Ubisoft made a game starring Rayman recently.


The catch? It's an NFT game.

It’s just one of many reasons why Ubisoft is literally days away from bankruptcy.

Spoiler: Creature Commandos spoilers; Episode 4

Episode 4 reminds me why I sometimes hate humans. Prejudice at its finest.

We fear what we don't understand and try to destroy it. Judging those on their looks.

Weasel did nothing wrong!

Crap man I didn't think James Gunn could have actually made me feel so bad for Weasel. T_T

I can’t wait until all eps release so that I can finally watch them. I just wish all these future DCU tv shows were films instead.

Just got back from Peak 3.

It was pretty great.

That mid credits scene though….

Spoiler

So we are 100% getting silver next movie right? The metal sonics and Amy’s look gave huge terminator vibes and I assume they are from the future.

I'm still hoping Nintendo and SEGA are figuring out how Mario and Sonic should crossover again now that the Olympics series is no more.

 

[Jondolio]

So is it just my imagination or is Radical Highway significantly harder than any of the previous zones in Shadow Gens?

I kinda did not notice, but I noticed it was hard. That said, it might have been harder than the previous levels.

WHY THE **** AM I CRYING OVER THIS???

IT'S KINO

Spoilers for the 7th (and most likely last) TF2 comic:

Spoiler

This comic and TF2's story managed to end in the most TF2 yet surprisingly wholesome way possible.

The tribute to Rick May and big Smissmiss reunion near the end, above all else, really got to me. All of the mercs seem much happier than they've ever been, Miss Pauling seems to have finally broken away from following her boss's path for good, we found out that Olivia got adopted by Hale and is now getting to live her own life free of Gray's influence, Hale and Maggie are going on more adventures and quite possibly going out on their own terms, in contrast to the Mann Brothers' and the Administrator's desperation to survive infinitely, Bidwell and a few others are now the owners of Mann Co., and even Merasmus didn't have things quite as bad as usual.

...Plus, he's died in the comics before and he's a wizard, so chances are high he'll probably return to life again some day somehow. Also, we finally saw the Spy canonically unmasked. Holy ****. That's something I wasn't ever expecting from official Vale material, either. Now only Pyro's true identity remains a mystery, and that's something that's best kept that way.

The twist with the Administrator and Zephaniah is something I really didn't expect. Almost every major conflict in TF2 happened solely because she wanted revenge on Zephaniah for something she can't even remember in the present day, continuing both the meta commentary on TF2's gameplay format and it's own storyline, concluding on a question on how after so much time passes, one can forget why they're still fighting for so long or whether that fight was truly worth it. That's shockingly brilliant and a perfect ending to the story of TF2 world's decades after decades of wars and conflicts.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the final issue of Team Fortress 2's comics, but the writers and Valve truly went above and beyond for the story's finale.

So long, partners.

It is, but in a good way imo. Radical Highway Act 1 in particular is crazy fun when going wingless.

I dunno, maybe I'm too used to getting easy S ranks but it might be too much for me.

I'll try again tomorrow if I have time though, I got S ranks in literally every other level

So I do have one gripe with Sonic 3.

Spoiler: Movie Spoilers

It's at the climax so here's another

Spoiler: Movie Spoilers

It's Live and Learn.

Sonic and Shadow team up and go Super and Live and Learn starts blaring. I was getting hyped. And then it cut to Eggman and Gerald, and it stopped. The hyped died. And then it cuts back to Super Sonic and Shadow destrpying the GUN robots and Live and Learn starts blaring again and I was getting hyped up, and then it just stops as it cuts back to Eggman.

I lived and learned what blue balls were

Well, Sonic is a hedgehog that can spin into a blue ball, so I suppose it makes sense that this was how you live and learned what blue balls were

Remember that Sonic x DC Comics crossover?

DC Reveals First Look at Sonic The Hedgehog x Justice League Crossover

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is racing into theaters this weekend, and next year fans will get the chance to see Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and the rest of the crew cross over with the heroes and villains of DC. The initial announcement revealed that the crossover would happen in March of 2025, but thanks...

comicbook.com

I mean, it appears that Darkseid is going to be the main villain of this, and he is after the Chaos Emeralds.

If there are times where Sonic and friends will have to fight Darkseid without the Justice League, I wonder how the crew could even win? I mean, Darkseid is a powerful guy, and there is his true form, which is even more powerful. Even if they just use an avatar of the New God, I don't think Super Sonic is going to be enough, as in other media, he had trouble fighting certain foes like Dark Oak from Sonic X from before, so there is that.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Big Lots shutting down is something I figured might happen this year or the next, but Party City closing down all of the sudden was a shock to me.

I'm gonna miss their stores and products as I have a LOT of memories visiting and exploring the stores during the holiday seasons growing up. Got a lot of Halloween and Christmas decor from there that my family and I still have to this day. They were a major help with birthday party supplies, too.

Sucks that yet another good store chain started losing it's quality and is going out of business.

So first first half of school year done.

I lost track of my Brainrot counter, but I can say that without a doubt, Sigma is by far the most popular with these kids.

I have zero idea what Sigma even means. I am old.

From what I heard, you’ve got alpha males who are all big and strong and loud and get all the girls, and then you’ve got sigma males who are quiet and mysterious and edgy and even cooler than the alphas and girls want them but the sigmas ignore the girls because they’re too busy making money and being edgy.

Or something like that

I mean yeah for Sigma males, but the actual word sigma has been used as a noun, a verb, and an adjective. Kinda like the F word.

And just like the F Word I can not define what it means.
