30 Years of Sonic
Today, June 23rd 2021, marks 30 years since the release of Sonic The Hedgehog on the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive for the rest of the world.) Quite a different beast in gaming compared to other platform titles like the Super Mario Bros. series, Sonic the Hedgehog was, first and foremost, based around speed. In fact, …

The Origin Of The Blue Echidna
If you’ve at all been on Twitter and seen my pal Prince Watercress share an image of Knuckles the Echidna (from the Sonic the Hedgehog series) but in a blue color and wondered what that’s about, well, wonder no more — here’s the story of just what the hell that’s about. Let’s go back, way …

They Actually Fixed The Design Of Sonic In The New Movie. Good Job.
Back about 6 months ago the first trailer for the Sonic The Hedgehog movie was released and to say it was met with poor reaction would be an understatement. I, for one, wasn’t surprised by how poor it was — look at the history of films related to gaming and the like, they have rarely …

Stop With The Crazy Game Console Rumors
The time frame before the release of a new game console is an interesting one. Thanks to the nature of things, companies tend to hold off on announcing many details of their products too early. There are various reasons for this — building up fan base hype (something I rather dislike,) to avoid letting competition …

Christmas Memories Part 1 – Sega Genesis, 1993
Being the age I am December 25th brings back fond memories of the Christmas days of my youth. This year was no different in that regard, but this year I noticed an odd pattern regarding those years and the “major” gift each year. Namely, the years 1993, 1998, and 2003. 25, 20, and 15 years …

In the video shared below, YouTuber AdamTheWoo takes a look at the “Fun Factory” arcade at Redondo Beach Pier near Los Angeles, California. This looks …

Free Video Game Day 2018
Today was quite the interesting one in the gaming community, and was something I actually wasn’t aware of till just a few weeks ago: Free Video Game Day. It functions much like Free Comic Book Day does for, well, the comic book community. The different is FCBD is sponsored by the comic book industry, directly …

May 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
In a strange mistake by Microsoft, this video was released slightly early, back around the 18th or 19th. It’s since been unlisted, which doesn’t stop me from showing it to you now, so, here we are! Not to give away the ending too early, but this is one of the best months in a very …

The Sonic Mania Review
Sonic Mania is, in many ways, the Sonic game I’ve been waiting for since 1995. That would be the year I got Sonic & Knuckles, which was the last of the “Classic” Sonic the Hedgehog titles. After this, the series would eventually, in 1999, move into 3D with understandably different gameplay and, as games came …

First Thoughts On Sonic Mania
I’m a huge fan of the Classic Sonic the Hedgehog games, so Sonic Mania was a game I just had to play day 1, and play I did. I actually played for quite a few hours today a somewhat rare thing for me to do, and I had a hell of a good time. That …

The Strange Story Of Sonic The Hedgehog 3 And Michael Jackson
A decade ago, while browsing the then relatively new website called YouTube, I found a video that discussed something I never thought I would see: A theory that Michael Jackson was involved in the music for the 1994 video game “Sonic The Hedgehog 3.” “What? How? Why? Huh? How did I not learn about this?” …
