You know what, it's an article on the Sonic Stadium, so I may as well share my favourite SEGA memories:
I was born well past SEGA's prime, and yet I felt the effects nonetheless. Gaming in my childhood started out as an "oh that's kinda cool" thing. But then my father gave me a Gamecube, and with it was a copy of SA2. I had never known Sonic or SEGA before this point, my life back then were racing games, Walt Disney movies and The Simpsons. But when I saw the cover to SA2, I was gobsmacked with how much attitude and colour dripped off the cover. And when I started up the game and saw the first cutscene, it was official, Sonic is the coolest person ever to have entered my life. Shadow the Hedgehog may have been the selling point of SA2, but he paled in comparison to Sonic. I think my life would have turned out very differently if I didn't get introduced to this game.
Do my SEGA memories stop there? Oh darling, there was one place I always wanted to go to every time I saw it, most birthday parties I went to as a kid took place in one, and I still pop in every now and then if I get bored... I freakin' love arcades, and any arcade worth their salt had SEGA's Daytona USA. In almost religious fashion, that would be the first game I play, every time. SEGA made one hell of an arcade racer, and you'll always see someone playing it. Honestly, aside from Daytona USA, if you were looking for a good arcade game other than Time Crisis 4, it was almost a guarantee that SEGA had the good games. Seriously, check the publishers of a cabinet, it's likely that the game you really like is by SEGA.
Even past SEGA's prime, their presence can still be felt. They've actually ended up one of my favourite publishers in recent years, because they've got quality offerings and oddball fun games. It's crazy, most people would think SEGA to be dead these days, but they're going incredibly strong. also they have hatsune miku, so sega is never gonna die anyway lol

So how many people here were very surprised by the Sonic movie? I haven't seen it, but I remember even back before the first design was even shown hopes for it were dour, and given what I've heard it turned out pretty good.

If any of you are interested, I highly recommend trying out Smooth Doom. It's just a cosmetic mod with no alterations to gameplay, but it really is a nice touch of paint to an old classic. Honestly, it reminds me of how Sonic Mania updated the classic sprites.
«video» I only found out about it from a recent Civvie 11 video called Pro Doom, whose Youtube channel I'd also recommend.

It's been a rough few months, I can't seem to catch a breath, 3 people I knew died recently of cancer and heart attack, plus other friends are in the hospital right now. These health issues are just everywhere sadly, I've been taking my meds for 2 years now, but now my mind feels a lot better and I feel good thankfully, I can't speak for the others though. Eh.

I wish I knew a girl that would look at me like that.

I got utterly destroyed in Smash today at work. That completely made me get into a downer mood about this game lol. I am not good.

That moment when every status update is about Unleashed.
«video» On another note, Sega should force the movie to be like this, even if it's ripping off Into the Spider-verse:

A bit too immersive.

If you ever feel sad and need a pick-me-up, just rewatch the audience reaction video to Sonic Mania's reveal. Always puts a smile on my face.

Man, losing to Smash Bros. A.I. is always that one thing that ruins my self-esteem so much. If I can't beat some stupid computers, how could I ever beat actual players?
