The Supreme Topic of 'Other' Knowledge.

wha?.....................

Anyway. It only just came to my attention that the voice for Big the Cat was also voice for Duke Nukem.......

 

May he rest in peace.

Anywho...On the Sonic...female...thingy...

What if it's supposed to be Amy? :v:

 

Regular costume. Maybe the slut costume is even worse...

It could be just a coincidence. However, I also know that Japan loves to do stuff like this. I wouldn't be minimally surprised if it was a purposeful camel-toe.

 

He was also Omega. And his current voice is also Gohan. :specialed:

 

Gohan? Nah brah, it's all about the Announcer! :specialed:
Hell, I'm pretty sure he's the Ox King too-- Wait, Ox King... Big... Oshit.


Oh, almost forgot:
Since Roger Craig Smith's debut, I've been hearing him doing a ton of commercials -- Pizza Hut and Dave & Busters come to mind; seems like I hear him every two days or so. It's cool, but whereas he used to be "just another announcer guy" to tune out, now I hear Sonic talking about "Eat & Play for just $15!" or the latest cheese-infused deep-dish crust or what-have-you. :v:

 

Yeah, there's a handful of ads I've seen with similar-sounding voices, but they'll be slightly lower in pitch or something else that makes me unsure if it's him. Granted, we haven't yet had his Sonic voice a full-on range of emotions, so it could easily still be him in these ads. I'm just hesitant to call it.

 

He does tons of TV commercials. The first one on his demoreel is for Pizza Hut actually.

I know I've mentioned the whole Mega Mack/Muck dichotomy before, but I'm been reading the SatAM development bible (WARNING: for those with high tolerance for 'tude only) and it mentions Mega Muck explicitly.

Apparently it was somehow meant to be an important aspect of the franchise.

 

Not really related to Sonic, but Ristar. A soundtrack came out last month that had music from Pulseman, Virtual Racing, Comix Zone, and RISTAR called MEGADRIVE LAST ACTION HEROES. As a super cool bonus, the tracks for Ristar come with composer/arrangement credits! Woo!

This is great, but

..wait what?! Does anyone know other things he did (since VGMdb doesn't actually list video games but rather soundtracks with non-descriptive names)?

 

Whaaaat?

The game itself led me to believe that Sasaki did the entire score. I find it interesting, though, that the ones it turns out that she didn't compose are either unimportant jingles or the weakest level theme in the bunch.

 

Disc 3: Comix Zone -- in-game soundtrack and Drossin's bonus Roadkill tracks? *droooools*

Oh, Ristar's great too. Actually, IIRC all four of those games have great music.

 

According to the entry on this wiki, see Masafumi Ogata, we got this:

EDIT: On an entirely unrelated note… I just remembered something random I read a few years back and not sure where else to put this: This guy claimed to have created an inofficial port of Sonic Heroes to Dreamcast. Anyone else got any information on that, or was I just reading stuff of a guy pulling nothing outta their ass?

 

Outta their ass.

 

Those rock-badniks in Lava Reef, that give you 100 points when they blow up on screen... don't give you 100 points.

 

Oldy old old.

 

Doh, woops.

 

I just noticed something.

The Knuckles shown in Sonic 3's bad ending uses the same lighter pink later reused by the NPC version in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but with green socks:


Reference pic for the palettes used in Sonic 3 & Knuckles:


I wonder if Knuckles' lighter pink was a deliberate choice since the beginning (since they could have used pretty much any palette for the picture at the end of Sonic 3), and the recolored version is actually the red playable Knuckles in Sonic 3 & Knuckles...
