If someone can't speak properly, they shouldn't be narrating 26 minute long journalistic videos. There I said it.

I made it 22 seconds before I couldn't stand this guy's voice any longer. I'll wait for the game. I can't stand listening to someone who doesn't speak clearly...

I can understand their frustration. Last time I wore a rubber suit, lab testing said it was 99% effective. Now I've got a little shit running around the house calling me Dad.

I work as art director in a advertising agency.

"This is about Vogue, and what Vogue decides to do with a specific woman who has very publicly stated that she's fine just the way she is, and the world needs to get on board with that. Just how resistant is Vogue to that idea?"

Super Mario 3D World because.

Yeah, he was pretty awesome. I would never have seen anything past that zone had he not helped me!

Yeah you pretty much had to play "sonic only" because of that. He was mostly useless in the main levels anyway.

Sonic 3 + Knuckles. Here's why:

I think it was that damn barrel that I think changes the opinions of 3 for a lot of people because it really was a glaring pain in the ass. The best level follows afterward though. Ice Cap zone has maybe the best music in the whole series, and is an awesome level.

Sonic 3 is great but I think the music, while great, took a beating. Couple that with the fact that Sonic 3 isn't really complete unless you have Sonic and Knuckles, and it loses a lot of points when compared to Sonic 2.

No joke: When I was a kid I was given Sonic 3 secondhand, obviously with no manual. I couldn't figure out, for a couple years, how to get past Carnival Night Zone Act 2. Eventually I made it with my grandpa's help (he plugged in a second controller and, the two of us, bounced on the spinning red drum until I was able…

I was a victim of those barrels when I was a kid as well.. Though I had to jump on it repeatedly and could not get the timing down at all.

I'm with him in thinking Sonic 2 is the best, but I mean, bias tends to cloud my judgement because it was my very first console and console game.

The half-pipe stages were fun, but they always felt way too uncontrollable for me. At least Blue Sphere was only up to your skill and reflexes, whereas I always ended up doing accidental loops in the latter when trying to get the coins.

Truly, the end of times is nigh.

Nostalgia tends to affect our views, but thankfully we're having a fun, civilized discussion about personal preferences, so that's all cool. People do tend to believe overall that Sonic 2 was the best considering the same arguments you used at first, but Sonic 3 will always be closer to my heart.

(and that stupid red barrel where you have to push up & down on the controller had me stuck for HOURS before I figured it out)

It's not impossible, but instead of jumping over the claws, you have to hit between the claw and the legs on the final boss' robot. I died a couple times before figuring out exactly where and when I could hit that, kind of sucks when you only have 1 chance because there's 0 rings! lol
