Linear missions mean it’s an adaption extension I guess?

Except for Season 1's ending.

Morning Failin'.

I can understand that sentiment since I've found myself yearning of late for a game that is kind of a fusion of Sonic and Journey where you're primary goal is just to use Sonic's abilities to get from point A to point B. Of course though I also see Sonic as a loner and drifter who happens to get along well with people despite being an introvert and relish his adventures of whimsy, wonder, and amazement as he seeks out new experiences and thrills in his ever unique world.

By the time you reach the last few levels of the game, you'll wish that they were only 10 minutes long. Because holy fuck Mystic Mansion and Final Fortress never seem to end.

Final Fortress is definitely the worst, because there are like 3 checkpoints and, to my memory, they're at the 1 minute, 4 minute and 9 minute marks.

And that eighth minute is the hardest =D

The only part about final fortress I hate is dealing with those giant robots with the helmets

To me they just felt right and meaty. If anything the 3 minute stages we get now feel short.

These days we can't even get a stage half...he'll a QUARTER of that length. I miss those days 

When I joined the online fanbase back in 2002/3, Dimps were the authority of making good Sonic games, and they had recently released a fairly decent and adequate Classic styled game in Advance 1.

Then came 2010 and Sonic 4...

God man you're ANCIENT 

Everyone was high off generations and overhyping the shit out of Lost World when I joined. 

Set the tone for the next 6 years pretty well

@SonimanIn the Sonic fandom, we prefer the term "Classic". 

'O6 is obviously more of a trainwreck and yet I still enjoy it more than Heroes.

As for when I joined in early 2012;  we'd just had Taxman's Sonic CD where the physics were improved on over the original, Gens where the classic Sonic physics sucked and we were getting hype...heh for episode 2 of Sonic 4 and we already knew the physics would suck.

I joined around Lost World, where despite everyone's excitement for it, I had a lot, and I mean a LOT, of skepticism... Once it turned out to be average as heck, I must be honest, I wasn't surprised.

Then I came across the Sonic Boom announcements. That's all I need to say about that.

Of course, this is only the time I joined this community. I've been roaming around for a lot longer than that.

I joined in the summer of 2006 and people were already turning against Heroes at that point but seemed more lenient since Shadow was worse by comparison.

"THE WISPS ARE NOT IN THIS GAME!" I hysterically said in 2013, despite the clear evidence that I had overlooked and was then pointed out to me about five times over.

And considering how the wisps played in Lost World, I wish that outburst had somehow been able to wipe them from the game before it released.

Can’t believed they pretty much nailed the release dates with little delay way back then. Props to them 

Yeah, why care about Ultron if u just found out Thanos-was-coming

“That’s the End Game” dear lord, I both love and hate how early that name was being tossed around and most of us never caught onto it.

I marathoned all the mcu movies after watching this event cause it was so hype and I wanted to be prepared for Infinity War when it came out

Is that a huge deal though? I get your point but we knew about Thanos as early as the original Avengers, so we already knew Ultron and the other villains wouldn’t pull off their goals, but we still watched to see how they impacted the MCU as a whole.

I’d frankly argue that both Ant Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel were the movies screwed by Infinity War.

@Ryannumber1gamer Nothing bad really happened to Ant-Man and the Wasp. And Captain Marvel has only the movie's boring nature to blame for itself.

No, I disagree. I felt having them between IW and Endgame killed them hard because it had the effect of making it feel like complete filler whilst Marvel scramble to finish Endgame.

Ant Man’s tie in feels completely out of left-field and extremely dark in a movie that to this point has been retrospectively light-hearted, comedic and funny, and it shows hard in the movie itself given that the final joke is the only real black comedy joke.

I say this as someone who really enjoys both Ant Man movies - but I felt like Ant Man 2 was hit hard by it. It felt out of place, had a bit of plot distraction because EVERYONE knew that there would be an IW tie in and we wondered where and how it would happen and frankly - having what’s meant to be a more personal and smaller tier story right after the biggest crossover and cliffhanger of the entire series was not a good idea whatsoever.

Captain Marvel suffers from a lot of the same issues. She’s meant to be what seemingly turns the tides on Thanos, yet she’s being introduced at the eleventh hour, is taking place 20 years before Infinity War, makes light of something that should legitimately be interesting (Nick Fury’s eyepatch), and has tons of controversy behind it because of the main actress’ actions which if Endgame does end up having her being the trump card, I can immediately see another backlash occurring. Granted, I haven’t seen Captain Marvel yet so I cannot comment on it anymore.

You just summed up a great deal of how Captain Marvel has itself to blame more than Infinity War.

I still think that if the issues weren’t existent, they would be suffering the same exact problems as Ant Man, the only difference is being the worry that Marvel is going to be too OP and change the tides of battle against Thanos alone.

I've been using exactly that for my homebrewed 3DS for several years and it works fine, so I think you should be fine.

That said, an adapter can somewhat easily break if you're not careful (or it's shoddily made), so it'd be better to have more than 1 adapter just in case.

Had one in my DSi since launch and it's been fine tbh.

I never buy full size SD cards due to the increased use you can get out of Micros, and I've never had any problem with it other than breaking an adapter once.

Have a good night Failin'.

Have a good night!

Night!

Because McDonalds paid you to advertise this in the most unusual of places.

they should make 'em bigger. I always finish one in like 3 bites so I usually have to get two.

@Ferno maybe that’s the plan all along: make them cheap as hell on Fridays, but since they’re so small you buy almost the same price as the full deal on a regular day.

It's coz they use that square low-poly model for all draw-distances.  It was probably an oversight/rendering error but low-poly models actually have a denser flavour, but in other burgers you don't notice coz they use all those additional particle effects like lettuce and onions.

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

@Polkadi~♪ haha, thats absurd

...

Night, buddy!

Have a good night!

Noight

Hero

Damn right it is 

The Tetris movie better have these as the names of their Tetris piece shaped spacecrafts.

teewee

tag yourself i'm smashboy

It's fake.

oh what a shame

ineedaherotosaveusandimnotgonnastandhereandwait

always bet on teewee

Rip in pieces

My last PC slowed down pretty badly and the fan would start spinning like crazy for some reason following a Windows 10 update. Might be a similar situation?

Yeah, it's had some definite issues lately when updating. It's a Windows 7 though, with that being said it's getting petty old.

i feel like i'd just get stuck on something else

If Sonic was never a thing then I probably would've had a much longer Nintendo fan phase (as Unleashed is what finally got me to purchase a 360) and dear lord, I don't even want to think about that mess of a timeline.

Are you sure you're not Xavier: Renegade Angel

gran turismo and wolfenstein, here i come

Fuck if it wasn't for Sonic I would be into anime

I thank Sonic everyday.

i'm trying to get the manga, but it's in short supply ;n;

The series got recommended to me several times during my language studies, as talking about manga to Japanese natives gets a LOT of people raving about this. And there's the occasional mention online, but I don't see much of it. Now you too, and I reeeally want to start reading the series.

How has this slipped under my radar...?

I saw the manga a bookstore a couple of months ago but didnt think any of it

Man what have I been missing. I'm at episode six at the time of this status being replied to. 

why not

man, you wouldn't be you if your faves weren't heavily weighed in the big n's favor

Just want to have more variety

That intro and the pilot that the animation was taken from to make it was some of the best 2D animation for the modern series outside of the Riders intro.

there was also this from the 2nd Japanese intro that the US never got since we used Gotta Go Fast all the way through and I always wondered where it was from because I saw it in like every forum avatar/ sig back in the day:

It's unfortunate that the cool animation of the pilot didn't fully carry into the series. Finding the reason reveals that the series unpopularity in it's home country got the budget lowered for season 2, despite being a smash success everywhere else. Hell, it's why Japan never got season 3, despite having the voice track, soundtrack and everything.

Suppose when people clamour for another Sonic anime, they need to keep that crucial detail in mind.

So did they do nothing about the merger, or...?

From what I've seen, they they didn't mention it. 

Well, no surprise there. Whatever episode you're talking about was likely made before the merger was facilitated as concrete as it was at the time.

Pretty sure the next season premiere will probably mention it in the couch gag.

I feel like that's the least of the episode's problems. This episode demonstrated a pseudo-gender equality message.

I saw new episode of family guy for the first time in years. It was basically them commentating on the current episode. It was really bad and it's good to know i haven't missed much

Context, pls?

For which: FG or simpsons?

I'd actually like both, pls

Triple Trouble is going well, it got mote previews last week.

Now Chaos I haven't heard a single thing since sage (lolol cancelled)

I'm more amped for the Chaos remake for being more overtly Mania-style (plus I like Chaos more) but the Triple Trouble remake looks cool in its own right too, and I'm excited to try it out because I really want to like TT but can't in its official form.

Hm, tbh Chaos looks a bit TOO much like Mania, like it barely has it's own identity.

Also the level design wasn't all that pronising tbh

Cribbing on an official game's identity doesn't bother me at all especially since I think a lot of fangames don't crib enough

Also the level was fine. Just needed some more signposting
