  2. I watched the whole thing. It was excellent. Rough editing as you yourself said in the other topic, but it's good.

    The overuse of the TV static is a little annoying. Actual informative documentary plus opposing viewpoints and trolling, I like it.

    As I mentioned on IRC, the sarcasm levelled at Master System Spinball and Sonic Genesis GBA is just cruel. =P

    Also, loved how you skipped over Sonic '06 as if it was nothing at first - I was hoping you'd go back and do it before the video was through. Not disappointed! Great work.

    I noticed how you used the Sonic Spinball Beta title screen (w/ the Real Sonic 1/2/Generations theme). I told my partner he needs to see this, more so because he tells me every other day that either "Sonic is Dead" or that SEGA just "needs to STOP!" He was also curious about the failure of the Saturn and you explain it better than anyone else has to date.

    good work. like others have said, the tv static/colorbars are mildly annoying, but this gets to the heart of why sonic is awful.

    I was hoping for more about why the fans are so awful but remembered that would require a whole extra hour at least

    This was amazing. NSFW, but amazing.

    Definitely something I'd watch alone, however. Moreover, this is a perfect summary as to why I hate Sonic fans. The games I can tolerate to an extent but my god.

    Great video, quite a fun ride stirring up a laugh here and there.

    However theres an error ,,, or 2
    I remember Sonic 3D blast came out on Genesis before Saturn....
    and the sonic Xtreme footage that was shown resembling the Nights engine wasn't the Nights engine but a variation of the Sonic Xtreme Boss engine coded by Christina Coffin.

    I'm not sure if your documentary is made for serious or just to get some fanboys to a bloody butthurt, but I really enjoyed it. The editing somehow crappy but apparently you'd already said that in another thread (By the end, where you start to mix a lot of other reviews complaining about STH06 I actually paused the video to see if there was another video playing on the background or something - I was watching it in fullscreen -).

    But yeah, the experience was fun, gave me some laughters at the beggining and not so much at the end, since the second half of your documentary was very, very lazy almost like the games in there (Oh snap, did I said that out loud?), not saying that those aren't actually annoying games and terrible titles, but you could've made some extra effort I believe. The contrast was too big, you had the first part of the documentary explaining everything there is to explain about the games, the company, the fans, etcetera... But got out of the genesis era and started to make some lazy reviews, barely explaining the plot and shaping the content in a way so it would look stupid like Sonic's wish by the end of Sonic and the Secret Rings, it had a whole meaning behind that wish and you cut the end where Sonic explain his wish... Not saying that it wasn't a terrible wish or something, but had some meaning and the way you put it was to shape it to make your argument even stronger. I'm beeing imparcial over here about your documentary and not defending any of those titles just making some criticism about your video, not your opinion (and you pratically spoke for me at almost every game in the Sonic universe so what the fuck would I be able to say to contraire your opinion?).

    So, yeah... The documentary was fun, and reading the comments in the Youtube page seems to be even funnier, the Sonic franchise is made of two pieces: Those who are more mature Sonic fans, who makes humour of Sonic games and don't get offended by jokes because they know their beloved character is indeed in the butthole of a donkey with diarrhea.
    And those who have 12yo, makes some recolor characters, have big Youtube intros made in Movie Maker for their stupid and retarded videos who get offended when people talk badly about their favorite character. It's like Sonic is their waifu and they'll get offended if someones talks shit about it.
    So the experience felt way more complete when I read the comments on the video like these, from the same guy:
    So yeah, like I said before I do agree with a lot in this documentary, just thought that the second half could've been a little more dedicated like the first one. You didn't even made jokes like you did on the first half, and stuff like that. I dunno, it just felt lazy. But other than that, really nice video man, watched it all and burst my ass laughing some times, good work! You deserve be french kissed for making me put a smile in my face for the rest of the day. <3

    New Sonic related Game Music Video
    I've watched almost the whole thing except the last 20 minutes.
    I'm sorry but it's a bad "documentary film". You don't explain anything. You just say things like "This sucks because I hate this sh*t!". You say this nonsense about everything: from characters and music to the games as a whole. It's incredibly subjective and it'd be OK if you at least tried to explain why this is good and this is not.
    No way I could agree with you that Sonic adventure is a bad game and that the music is boring or that Tails or Shadow suck. There are a lot of things in the video you did wrong.
    On a positive note, I can say I like the first minutes of the video just before you started saying that Tails sucks. OK, even if I screw that part the video is not that bad until Sonic adventure after which it became just plain ugly trolling without no reason or explanation.
    I appreciate that you probably spent a lot of time making it, but the only good thing about it is the beginning (that history part).

    really, he shouldn't have to explain why it sucks. it should be self-evident to anyone who isn't a mental child blinded by their love for, as he so eloquently put it: "anthropomorphic turds"

    Nice Video, there is some stuff I don't share, but it was great. Also you miss so much joking material including Sonic 4 Episode 1, and the Riders series

    And thanks, I almost die on the Chaotix part because I was using headphones

    I don't agree with the part where you implied anything after Sonic 2 wasn't utter shit.

    Otherwise, nice work. ;)

    Oh God, CHAOTIX. Yeah, this was definitely my favorite part.

    Everyone needs to chill. He didn't make this to be an "official review" of the series. There's no reason to take this shit seriously. It was put together to be funny!

    When you first mentioned Sonic R and Sonic the fighters I was waiting for you to tear into thoses, you caught me off guard XD

    Overall though, you got about 30% documentary and 70% personal moaning, (Being very generous haha) some interesting facts, but mostly moaning =/

    Sonic Genesis... GAWD! (reads your responces) You shoulden't even JOKE about that. Or atleast make some small effort to make it sound like your taking ther piss lol

    making cool music no one gives a shit about
    It blew my mind when you cut from 06 to the original game all of a sudden. Good god. Thankfully, the quality of the games are getting better now, but still...

    Great documentary, man. Had me in stitches.

    "I hate this that and everything because of reasons I won't explain" the 1 hour video. Ok.

    Got pretty tiresome how lazy the writing was. Just barely works as trolling material but even then it needed more than "this sucks and has crappy characters and it's shit and if you like it you're a faggot" to actually work beyond some of the amusing use of footage. Got boring after a while, lasted about 30 minutes.

    Sonic fan trolling is so tired and overdone. There's nothing left to do with it. It's long beyond beating a dead horse at this point, there is barely fossilised remains of the corpse buried under layers and layers of land now.
