The Supreme Topic of 'Other' Knowledge.

Got the Classic Sonic style guide scanned:



Link to guide. (Didn't come with the cd though)

 

Is page 4 just a blank page?

 

This was such a fun read, haha. I loved how it was dripping with 90s personality with the majority of prominent text in the first 10 or so pages being written in-character, which really lets you get a feel for how these characters were supposed to be portrayed back then without even saying a word regarding strict personality guidelines.

I also find it interesting that, despite the so-called 'mohawk' design being so prevalent throughout the 90s, it simply isn't used at all in this guide, and the turnarounds depict his more traditional 8-spike design. You can definitely tell they closely followed these old turnarounds when modeling classic sonic for Generations back in 2011.

 

This was made around S3K's release, the time when the mohawk was being phased out in favor of the original spikes.

 

No, the 4th file is the preface page and the actual page 4 is this one:

 

I wonder how old the people were who wrote that.

 

RE: TV game show question writers are my age:



Richard Osman's House of Games, Series 7, Week 12, Wednesday (today)

 

Tommy Tallerico, no!!!

 

Lol

The guy's a total hack. I'm not even slightly surprised after everything wrt the Amico.

 

That is NOT what I would describe as a super sigma chad based and redpilled thing to do, Tommy.

 

Sorry, what’s the context of that tweet?

 

Oh my no no no!

The H-Bomber Guy video is only the tip of the ice berg! The lesser talked about Slopes Game Room video which doesn't even touch the stuff brought up in H-Bombs video is even more eye opening.



Essentially Tommy pretty much "Stretched" the truth regarding the Amico scandal, pretty much lied to everyone in every interview he ever gave regarding it in a bid to get more people to invest into it... Then... Well... How do you think this crowd funded project ended... With the backers getting their money back? Or the product? Oh dear.

 

I'm more concerned with the fact that 9 hour video documentaries are a thing. I love Sonic... but do I "want to listen to a video throughout the day" love Sonic.
Yea, probably.

 

Best I can give you is a 2 hour and 20 minute doc on the competitive history of Sonic the Fighters.

Spoiler

I'ma be honest though. Video drags after the Mystic Noodle vs Matt Beach showdown.

 

I recently found out that SEGA's pinball division (which is now part of Stern) liked to put Sonic cameos in their games.

I am really amused by the fact that Sonic makes an appearance in a Starship Troopers game.

 

Got a question for you:

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Xbox Live Arcade)
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (PlayStation 3)
is this the same game?

I'm thinking of shifting it to "Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Sega Vintage Collection)". We could do with a list of credits too - there are no videos online.

Context: there's at least five different versions grouped together on the Sega Retro page which, given this isn't a case on Sonic Retro, is probably bad.

 

I can't record any videos (my PS3 and 360 are in storage at the moment) but yeah, they're identical. Both under that Sega Vintage Collection banner with identical menus. The only difference is the trophy/achievement icons.

 

Have two consoles that have them. And yup, they're the same. Although the way the Xbox interfaces with the savestates is different: instead of the PS3's own BIOS managing the savestates like the PS3 version does, the game itself manages it. I assume the 360 bios doesn't have custom menus
