I learned something new today. Apparently color doesn't really determine race, its more like "Nose, hair, skull structure etc". But i was looking at this map on caucasian ... dunno why it says white.. But basically. I just assume semitic people where its own race. Arabs, jews etc. But Saudi Arabia doesn't look.. too negro though i guess. Although people prefer to use "Indo-Europeans" due to Aryan is usually connected to nazism... which i understand why some would feel uncomfortable saying it. My conclusion is that, berbers where a group in morroco for example, and they were caucasian . So it seems like they got replaced with arabs...Maybe it was african arabs or something? Like a community and not really racially caucasian . Caucasians existed in "Europe, Some parts of Asia, North Africa... and more than that i dont know" Either way. I am just wondering what you guys think ^^ Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race#Relation_to_whiteness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race#/media/File:Carleton_Coon_races_after_Pleistocene.PNG     Edit: Or... there are subclasses it seems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race#Classification I also saw a vid on it. Kinda laughed a little bit with Putin at the end :P Either way. Curious to your views on it :)

I ask because i've never seen it re-sold. Like it doesn't exist on Steam, Xbox 360, PS3. Nothing. You can find it on PC on Amazon.com or something, but it doesnt seem they aknowledge it too much. Do they treat it like Sonic 2006?, or don't they just care so much for it. I personally like it though. Its kinda fun and interesting ^^. Much more fun to run than driving a car either way  

I always hear how people think its awful. But honestly it was much better than the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube era of Sonic games, the framerates on those were really awful. It didnt help to change to 60hz, it was just horrible to play and had no fun game atmosphere. Now Sonic 2006 may not be perfect, but it certainly was an improvement over that generation of Sonic games. I am just saying. Just a shame SEGA jumped off the stage after this, most likely because people complained. The internet man i tell you : I

Well its an old game from 2001. But i still think it sorta holds up in my view. It was amazing for its time though!

I hope for god's sake that never happens. I have nothing against the fan reception of people who like the american cartoon off Sonic series, and i don't want to result into insulting and calling those who want them obsessive nerds. But if they wanted to do a reboot "Which have been a little trend recently like Tomb Raider", then i'd suggest where Sonic & Knuckles left off and ignore the Adventure series. Although i generally like Sonic Adventure and some 3d games, but considering the classics are liked by all then it seems like a good place to start in my personal view and just have a simplistic but organic and original designs and make it interesting ^^ Edit: But i don't want that though. I am glad that SEGA tries to make each Sonic game interesting. If i want to play old games i'll do just that. Even if some Sonic game isnt perfect, atleast they add something new which i like. So i am quite happy even if its not like 100% gold! But its Sonic so in my opinion its fun. I am either way always glad to hear news of a new Sonic game. The complainers will complain, and i will just wait and enjoy when a new Sonic game comes out ^^

There is a good chance that maybe Linux will dominate Windows in the future. If they will annoy users with the future versions of Windows. Considering Windows 10 is the last OS Microsoft is releasing and just plans to upgrade it. And Mac is just overprized in general. Linux on the other hand is free and you can do whatever you want with it. The only fear is if Microsoft plans to lock laptops, PCs or those stuff to not change OS. Which makes it impossible to install Linux. Basically the reason is that Steam has released lots of games on Linux on Steam. Also SteamOS is a new feature that lets you play on any OS(You dont need to change to SteamOS. But its a feature that lets you basically play the game on any OS). Although i have heard there is some bugs, but if that becomes canon and works then i think more will go over to Linux. I think the reason why people don't want Linux is simply because PC hardware and Windows does best in games and Linux hasn't really reached out there yet. And some programs that is still beneficial on Windows. But i think that Linux still has a chance of becomming really good if it strives for it.

I am currently on a series called "Baccano". I got interested in it because of the interesting Mafia style it has in the show. Soon done watching the series. On the 4th disc so its very interesting i feel

If you choose to play as Knuckles you get this robot guy flying this machine, instead of eggman 0:20 - 0:38   3:02 - 3:31

I thought they were joking when they said Tails doll was in the game, since making weird gore jokes on Sonic or Sanic in some cases have been a thing recently. But nope, it actually exists. I like the soundtrack in the game though, maybe it is short but seems enjoyable

What i mean by this is that. You have a country, it has built itself up and is prosperious because of people who have worked hard for it, they have a system that works. Now the idea of welfare is that if people are jobless then they can get welfare until they get a job to earn themself. Although the idea is good, the question is, is it beneficial for society itself?. Being on welfare myself i completely hate it, although i am in trial for a work though which i am thankful for. Although its the idea that you can get paid without working, which to me feel dishonest. And its not actually helping people psychologically, because you really feel little worth when you can just get it without having to earn it yourself. The reason some societies have this is the fear... basically fear that people may commit robbery or other crimes because of being poor or being thrown out by their parents or something. So i really doubt the ideal is to help people in general in terms of their own worth, but to help them from themselves, although some may argue that it helps people in a society in general.. so i guess you could use that as an argument. But its not that though mostly, it is the case of people from undeveloped 3rd world countries who can just come on over and just chill while society pays for them, the problem with this is one "political problem" and two "the economic infrastructure will collapse". This is where the system is flawed. The problem is that making a country have a system like that, and making it attractive for refugees who have bad religious and ethnic conflicts, which will in one case create a political struggle but also a economic collapse in the society itself. Lets say this is why it is a bad system to use in a nutshell. Its also one of the main reason why i don't hope Bernie Sanders win aswell in terms of the election. I also heard Ayn Rand opinion on it. I mean i don't think she is a hypocrite. Thats like saying some certain car engine is bad while driving it, just because you don't like the engine doesn't mean you shouldn't use it. But to improve on it, that's why opinions exist. I am curious to what you think though?

I just made Sonic again. Well i tried the tracing program in gimp. I am gonna use it from now on. Seems easier using digital tools with it with crisp lines from tracing hand drawings : 3

Yeah i still enjoy the 3D games, Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Adventure 2:Battle. If they ever made Sonic Adventure 3 i would so buy it!. I mean imagine it coming to PS4. That would be like a dream in my view!

I've been thinking. I basically didn't become a instant Sonic fan when i played Sonic 3, although it was good, i just considered it in the box of Jazz Jackrabbit, Mario or other fun 2D games at the time. But i became a fan when i tried the GameCube game Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. Although i became butthurt when people said the Sonic games on Dreamcast or GameCube were bad, so i started saying all Sonic games were bad in spite of hearing it. Because i had so much good memories with those games. Although it hasn't aged 100% well though, but i still consider it kinda ok. But for its time i will admit it was fun atleast. Kinda like with MGS2 aswell, it has aged somewhat since i last played it. But Sonic 3 and Knuckles is still solid to be honest. Just like playing Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is. Although i wish i could buy that game legally. I don't see it on steam so i haven't played it due to that. But i play Sonic 3 on Xbox 360 sometimes, and sometimes Sonic 2 and 1. They are pretty fun games!. Just kinda wondering your view in general?

I drew Sonic the Hedgehog. But i probably need to get a digital board someday : 3. I fast colored it in gimp though

Linux is a good OS. I am a Windows user though mostly due to programs and stuff i need which i can't run on Linux. Although i fear Windows 10 will be the only OS one can run in the future, since Microsoft have said this will be the last OS and will just update it forever. And considering Microsoft have said they will lock computers "basically making it hard to switch OS i think unless it is licensed or something". So its the reason why i haven't bothered updating to Windows 10. I have a legit copy though, i just like Windows 7 more in general.

In terms of like this stuff - Getting all Silver Medals. - Doing all side missions.  

I saw some funny spoof on this! But basically there are people who literally think games would be better if they acted as purely cinematic stories... which i guess they kinda got their wish granted. Since most modern games on Xbox 360 etc, uses those literally plenty of times. If you compare old PS1 games, 3d platformers, Tomb Raider 1 and Crash Bandicoot. What i love about those is mostly it embraces the player in the game atmosphere. Sure some may have cutscenes, but here is what makes them gold. Its not central in terms of actual game atmosphere which is what drags you in and makes it fun, its more just there for background effect. Nothing more, nothing less. Like exploring and getting further. Having fun exploring the game itself, just really genius method i think of making a game fun to play But i want to know your views aswell in terms of this?

I just for curiosity sake checked out Sonic Adventure 1. And there is something about it that feels genuine, like if the quality somehow fitted better than the remastered version. Although Sonic Adventure 2:Battle looks better i think. I guess its due to the console hardware and physics that makes it somewhat enjoyable. Its almost like an updated PS1, i mean i think PS1 games are a tad better even if the graphics are good on Dreamcast. Just to take an example. Here with Knuckles. 24:27 - 29:20  

       

For some reason they look better on the Gamecube version in terms of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.
