>Soina I like how inconsistent she is. One time she draws like a asian artist, another it's all blury and next she copies different Sonic artists. Every goddamn week.
Charles Reed
The whole mod thing probably helped
Ethan Bailey
Is Emerl the strongest character in the whole series? He managed to beat both Sonic and Shadow at the same time, after all.
Tyler Cruz
agreed
Jason Barnes
>Is Was*
Ryan Smith
>He managed to beat both Sonic and Shadow at the same time, after all. And then Sonic kicked his shit in in 5 minutes when Emerl was at his best and Sonic was in his base form.
Colton Rodriguez
Is Gemerl Vanilla's personal sexbot?
Aiden Price
Nanotech experiment if the comics are to be believed. Game-wise, shits 'n' giggles.
Landon Ortiz
Considering we haven't heard any real announcement for the Sonic Team game, I'm surprised Sega hasn't made a Patreon for it yet.
Carson Gutierrez
I MUST PLAY THIS GAME BY MY RULES
Landon Ortiz
what do you think will be the most fitting Madeon music for a new sonic game trailer?
Joseph Howard
CRUSH 40!!!!!
Liam Richardson
A new song from an upcoming new album.
Eli Gray
I still can't believe no one at Archie looked at this and said "Yeah, that's definitely a vagina."
Wyatt Nguyen
Someone down the line probably realized that after the issue came out, because the Tails Doll had a completely different design when it showed up next
Kayden Robinson
I have yet to hear anything made by him, to be honest. Is he famous or something? I have no idea why Aaron started paying that much attention to him out of the blue.
Joseph Peterson
Goddamn Even, calm the fuck down with your fetish shit.
He's a musician who's also a Sonic fan. Considering the focus they've been given him there's a chance he might be contributing to the next game's soundtrack in some way. Or not.
Dominic Jones
He made the intro song to PlayStation all stars battle royale if you have played that
Ian Thompson
>"Finale" is a song by electronic music producer Madeon, featuring vocals from singer Nicholas Petricca of Walk the Moon. It was used in an NBCSN commercial during the 2012 Summer Olympics and was frequently used throughout the 2013 X Games. It has also featured on an advert for National Geographic Channel and PlayStation Vita. It makes appearances in the video games FIFA 13 as part of its soundtrack and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale as its opening theme. Guaranteed you've heard it at least once, even if you didn't realize it.
Adam White
Good.
Josiah Rogers
he is indeed famous, you can hear some of his music here
I actually had not heard it until now, but thanks for the info.
Leo Richardson
Sonic Unleashed. They also made some tracks for the Black Knight soundtrack album.
Jayden Sullivan
They're still having limited concerts in japan and album releases. I'm sure they had their hands in Generations too and not just Jun.
David James
>the deletions in the last general
That race for the final image game is no joke when the Swatbot wants to win.
Benjamin Robinson
>Scratch's eyes are blue What did Jon mean by this?
David Rogers
What were they even?
John Hall
>They pronounce his name as Em-l Seriously, what the hell? It's pronounced like Emerald but without the d. I know it's 4kids, but they should at least pronounce names correctly.
Zachary Gray
this song has been on my mind all day, i just can't Escape it
Parker Gutierrez
It makes the victory a bit hollow when both my opponents end up getting deleted before the thread archives.
William Cox
They never played a Sonic game, and heard the name wrong while translating. It's kind of like how they though Eggman's base was named Chaos Control.
Jack Lopez
>Can't escape from The City You'll make it through.
Cameron Wood
I guess the Mod couldn'the handle Mario getting the final image so the Swatbot nuked his posts and I guess all his others Posts days before the post limit and the other was a porn poster.
Christopher Edwards
Jun was sound director for Generations, but Crush 40 didn't make any new songs. Last game they wrote and performed songs for was Black Knight. They wrote the theme for Free Riders; they just didn't perform the in-game version.
Alexander Hall
Bump
Nicholas Hughes
...
Caleb Carter
No you're thinking of Vector.
Ryder Powell
He wishes.
Carter Sanders
>yfw literally no one at Nintendo wants to make a legit Mario and Sonic game because it could hurt their brand >not even the new younger teams or new ceo thinks it would work
Jason Parker
We live in a generation of failures.
Josiah Harris
Maybe it could've been a possibility if Lost World wasn't garbage.
Jonathan Barnes
I don't really want a crossover with Mario.
Jaxon Moore
If you worked at Nintendo, would you really want to have your IPs associated with Sonic? Or even work with Sega at all?
Zachary Lopez
I feel like within the professional sphere of the game industry, SEGA doesn't have nearly as bad a rep as they do among gamers and "journalists". Especially if you look at Japan where despite Japs never really being huge Sonic fans (or perhaps because they don't care about Sonic), SEGA is a huge presence. Besides game software development that we think of, they run arcades, they run restaurants, they run theme parks, they develop the vast majority of hardware used in arcades, they own a record company, they produce anime, they make otaku-pandering merchandise, etc. There's a lot more to SEGA than people usually think about.
Jace Gomez
I want one eventually, but not until the series is back to making consistently good games.
Jordan Scott
They must care somewhat with the DLC for LW and the fact they actually helped port cryengine 3 to Wii U for Boom and assisted them with the only and only patch for the game. The only way it could work is if they did, and RPG, kart racing, fighting, Sonic boom styled generic adventure gameplay (but with someone like Retro controlling the project), or an RTS
Logan Reed
Having learned about all of the development issues Boom went through, I just can't bring myself to hate it as much.
Easton Wilson
I unironically enjoy both boom games more than most games, theres a early PS2 era vibe in both the gameplay and visuals that just takes me back and I feel like I can still see some of their original image for this game in there that I want to see done right, that and the 3DS game is pretty fun and has some nice calming music
Aaron Butler
Well, there's still the 3ds sequel on the horizon and at least we know that SEGA hasn't killed all hope in the project.
Tyler Barnes
Thats what I'm hoping for, they just need a good team at the head of the project and a good engine since its started to come out that Cry Engine isn't just bad on Wii U. I still want Retro studios to have a shot at Sonic
Austin Gomez
The Boom brand itself seems to be doing fine with the toys and TV show too, so I don't think it's going away anytime soon. I just wish we still had the comics.
Sonic is a multimedia brand more than a game series at this point.
Justin Phillips
Alright, think of it this way If the guy running Sega was a creepy old gap-toothed Japanese guy that wanted in your pants, would you really want to work with him?
Jacob Miller
Too bad a lot people seem to associate Boom to Rise of Lyric and nothing else..
Anthony Bailey
The show was just the best surprise we could have gotten. The first few episodes were rocky as hell but once they settled into that perfect amount of self-awareness in the writing, the show started hitting gold.
Oliver Morgan
I love how they really fucked with shadow fans.
Jeremiah Rogers
Can I have Sonic merch if I do?
Jaxson Murphy
I like Shadow and I don't feel fucked at all? Boom Cartoon Shadow > "Main" Shadow
Colton Miller
It was mainly targeting people who would not stop sending them and mike a shit ton of messages about shadow
Andrew Ramirez
No. But Iizuka isn't running SEGA, so it's okay.
Eli Gutierrez
I'm still sad the Hawaiian shirt is only going to be referenced in the comic.
Christian Thomas
Am I the only one that seriously doesn't care about the show? Like, outside of a few jokes and scenes which were few and far between, it became a chore to watch.
John Scott
It's a nice show to watch once in awhile, but I could never watch many back to back without getting sick of it.
Dylan Davis
Why does Boom Amy not have pink arms?
Jeremiah Wright
>Boom Cartoon Shadow > "Main" Shadow You know this is not true.
Andrew Garcia
Because she shaves.
James Hall
I like it a lot but with it's format I can see why you could easily become tired of it. I don't have any problems binging through a few episodes.
Along with the comic it's probably the most active part of the franchise too, with S2 coming up soon.
I would rather have had some action/adventure show with Sonic, but I am genuinely surprised at how much I ended up liking the show, it's really funny to me.
It's for the best user, otherwise she wouldn't be able to have a tan inner torso
Jackson Brown
Nope, I thought it was really boring. I'd rather just watch gifs/webms that showcase the rare actually funny joke without having to watch the full episodes.
Lucas Thompson
Boom Cartoon Shadow has literally no personality mate. He just acts like a dick to Eggman and Sonic for no apparent reason and then fucks off.
Gavin Reed
Her torso is canonically pink though.
Ryder Davis
...
Jace Gray
they also have blob feet in canon, which I don't like accepting either
Adam Davis
youtube.com/watch?v=XHs99iVpnXU Because i cant really see a vocal theme working. But Doesn't Aaron have a boner for the song "Pixel Empire" or something?
