The original game no longer functions properly on my PC’s graphics card (can’t believe it’s that old now : / ); so I guess an official remake will be the next best thing. And Steam Deck compatibility is a must, too.

This guy’s opinion is more or less reflective of my own; I’m nostalgic for the aesthetic, the soundtrack, and (being the last time they were used before being replaced by the Sonic X cast) even the voiceovers. Everything but the gameplay. I’m more sympathetic to the final product than fond of it. (Apparently Takeshi

I had a fancasting idea for Shadow that just popped into my head one sleepless night: Jaleel White. A part of me would just be tickled by the idea of the OG Sonic voicing Edgy The Hedgey. And I think the old cartoon watching thirtysomethings going to see this with their kids would appreciate the in-joke.

I just realized that next August is going to mark a decade since we lost him. Still feels fresh.

RIP, Robin.

Get rid of everything about the 2017 adaptation except for Dafoe.

Y’know, it’d be a funny twist if the third sister’s soul is saved when she meets and subsequently falls head over heels for a bespectacled propane salesman from Texas.

If only they’d titled it ‘The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down 2: The Boat that Stopped Stopping’.

Would’ve made it a pop-cultural touchstone.

This is an invalid list without the inclusion of this one. Best loop episode of any sci-fi show.

Most folks my age were introduced to anime via Pokemon or Toonami and Adult Swim; not I.

G4's back... ?

Disappointed by the lack of a Metal Sonic.

So according to other sources, the game’s script will be penned by Ian Flynn, and the villain is an AI known only as ‘SAGE’.

No witty comment. Just very pleased & excited. And posting this awesome song cover.
