DarkRula

Oh right, might as well say - as I announced on Motobug earlier, there's gonna be another stream coming soon. I ended up hitting massive burnout after SMS3 happened because it was back to back to back with multiple streams like Kirby and Donkey Kong Country without a break.
What's the show?

Just finished messing about with the Forza Horizon 4 demo on PC. It did not want to pick up my soundcard hooked up via USB initially so I had to looke for the latest BIOS update for my PC. Annoying to play a racing game with no audio on a consistent basis. One BIOS update later it works just fine. Hopefully it's not a sign of issues on release day like with the PC version of Forza Horizon 3.

Real talk, Smash aside. I’d love to see a new Animal Crossing, more Odyssey DLC, a tease of Pikmin 4, a good Star Fox game that isn’t a 64 reboot etc.
 
 
 
 
 

I... I don't really know what to say...

From Mario Kart 64 to Mario Kart Double Dash as WiiLikeToPlay has some fun in four-player.

The Nintendo Direct has been announced and Online is confirmed to show.
I'm putting a bet in that Splatoon 2 content is showing with the confirmation of the Splatoon themed stuff for Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. Then, the Tortimer Island Smash stage shows the villager fighting against the Inkling. With the Inkling defeated, the villager heads for the building, and after a boat ride appears at a dock that doesn't look like any seen in Animal Crossing. But it is confirmed to be the new game when the villager is greeted by a load of villagers in celebration of his Smash victory with the title of the new game appearing on screen. More details to arrive soon.

This is why I love the Clones more than any other Star Wars character.

Submitted my novel to seven agencies so far. Aw man, I can't believe I'm really at this point. The next month is gonna be torrrtuuuuuurreeeee...

Nintendo Direct reveals a load of new stuff, then the one more thing happens.
"And now we have an announcement about Nintendo Switch Online. Buy it."
*Direct ends*

I got a Wordpress site! Go over for exclusive writings made for college, compiled fanfics and all my movie reviews! Cool, huh?

Myyy, myyy, this here Anakin guy.
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry.
He left his home, and kissed his Mommy goodbye, sayin' "soon I'm gonna be a Jedi!"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi!"

Staying up extra late to give my novel one final read through. It's the first time I haven't cringed at any point. It's done. After years of hard work, rewrites, and many setbacks, it's actually done. I just...I don't even know what sort of emotion to feel right now. I never thought this moment would come.

My baby is ready. ^____^

Made a short animation shot for a potential mentorship at Axis Animation here in Glasgow! Still a lot of improving to be done with my skills but it's already a big step up from my uni work prior to the summer!

When you think about it, Amy in the pre-Unleashed era was honestly one of the more influential characters, even if her role wasn't always combat orientated. Sonic and the more combat oriented people might be the big faces of the band so to speak, but in many ways she was the one who often times noticed or helped out in the small but important ways that others overlooked.
 
Take Gamma for instance: A machine who blindly followed orders no matter what, proving himself to be the best of Eggman's robotic soldiers at the time, but harboring doubts when he saw Eggman's callousness towards his fellow machines who had failed.
She managed to influence Gamma to start doubting Eggman and was brave enough to stand against Sonic despite him wanted to destroy Gamma, thus allowing for Gamma to not only turn against Eggman despite his limited programming, but also drive him to destroy several of Eggman's strongest soldiers at the time and free his trapped Flicky family.
 
Shadow was a grief-stricken revenge minded person, driven only by distorted memories of his past and friend, and a desire to punish humanity for destroying his life.
She managed to get through Shadow's memory block in Sonic Adventure 2 where no one else was able to and convince him of the error of his actions and the true intentions of his dead friend, not only allowing for the world to be saved from Gerald's revenge beyond the grave, but also in the long term ensured a permanent new ally in the fight against evil.
 
Silver was a well-intended, but sadly gullible pawn who was so desperate for the salvation of his future, that he was mislead by evil into nearly ensuring a far worse future for everyone.  Yet deep down he harbored doubts of his mission, but did not see any reason to change since he believed it was what needed to be done, even if unpleasant.
She was able to plant the seeds of doubt in Silver's mind in the erased 06 continuity by defending Sonic from him despite the drastic power difference, and made him start questioning his actions working for Mephiles, thus ensuring that in the long term he would be able to help put an end to the threat of Solaris.
 
She's not the best fighter, and her bratty moments and obsession with Sonic does get in her way at times, but when the chips were down, she often times ended up being a more important catalyst for change for several of the most prominent characters in the franchise than any amount of the flashy kickassery of her larger than life friends, and did so primarily through her smaller actions of being an honest and kind soul.

New badge time~! And it was one that I got to create!
Thank you, @Kiah, for handing them out, and thank you everyone for coming out to the Sonic Musical Spectacular once again!
That'll be the last of that for a while.

Here's everything I bought at the con I went to

Everyone, I'm happy to show the full finished product - @Polkadi~♪'s SSMB Third Year Celebration video.

A bit late, but needed to take a breather. Massive thanks to everyone who attended Sonic Musical Spectacular 3 tonight. It was a really fun time and your feedback has massively helped with a widely better format hopefully coming next year.
Huge thanks to @Polkadi~♪ and @The Deleter who both doubled down and worked immensely hard to get the celebration video done in time for the finale. Their determination to get it ready for the finale went a long way to give the massive event a great conclusion and in my opinion, it's the best celebration video that's been done in all three years of SMS.
I'll post in the topic within the next few days in more detail, but for now, massive thanks to everyone who took part, if it was submitting requests, attending the stream, or even both!
