Cute work Silvori!

As we are getting close to Halloween, how about Classic Sonic and Tails dressing up as each other?

Storm's eyes looked around, resting on the trainers who were fawning over their new pokemon.  With a smile, he stepped inside and away from the doors quietly, not wanting to disturb the precious moment between trainer and pokemon.  His eyes met the surprised ones of the Professor, but Storm just gave a small smile and a nod. The Professor turned back from the door, shaking his head at his assistants blunt yell.  Meanwhile, nurse Joy headed over towards Amber.  The young girl had given another cry as her egg had started to crack. 

Tails, Island   At first, the young vulpine’s eyes narrowed somewhat at the Hedgehogs comment.  But then his face broke into a proud grin as his work was praised. “Thanks, it’s the first time I’ve been allowed to do work,” he blurted out without thinking.  He quickly continued, hoping the Hedgehog didn’t notice what he’d said.  “Uh… you said you needed help?  What’s your name?” Tails asked, his namesakes wagging nervously behind him.   -----------------   Robotnik, Wing Fortress Repair Bay Robotnik looked down at where Gamma’s arm had clamped to his own. “At least your damaged memory banks remember who is in change,” he muttered slightly irritated.  “Now Gamma, listen carefully.  I don’t know what happened down there, but you lost one of the biggest prizes this world has to offer.  Fail me again, and you’re on the scrapheap, understand?” He turned away from the robot as Zero arrived.  Out of the corner of his eye, Robotnik noticed the service robots rearming Beta.  “Well Zero, what is it?” “You wanted reports of any Mobians displaying unusual abilities.  We have detected one in Casino Night Zone,” Zero reported, handing over a tablet to the rotund Doctor. “We have?” exclaimed the Doctor with a twisted grin.  He watched the video playback, watching the green Canary tear one of the prison pods apart with her bare hands.  He shifted to the current video feeds, seeing the canary still there, with a group of other Mobians. “New orders Zero.  Instruct all forces in Casino Night Zone that capturing that Canary is now Priority One.  And those with her as Secondary Objectives.”   ----------------   Casino Night Zone   Across the city, the robots disengaged from their current tasks as they turned and headed towards the city centre, intent on capturing Tekno and those with her.   -----------------   Skye, Feral Forest   “I’m NOT a kid!” Skye shot back a little angrily as they ran.  “You… really have no idea what’s going on, do you?” The wolf was quiet for a moment as she caught her breath.  “That pod… it turns people and creatures into robots like the ones we fought.  And they fell all over the world last night.”  She took another gasp, running hard.  “Mobotropolis, that’s where they’re heading.  It will be safe there.  Unless…. Unless that is where HE is heading…”   ------------   Sleet and Dingo, Mobotropolis   Two guards rushed down the hall towards the throne room.  The seemed surprised to find Johnny in the corridor.  One headed past, the other walked right up to the rabbit and confronted him. “You!  What are you doing here?  Civilians are not allowed in this area of the palace.  Leave now!” he demanded. The other guard almost slammed open the doors to the throne room. “Sire, the radio reports,” he gasped, his fear overwhelming the usual decorum.  “We received one message from Feral Forest saying it was under attack, we’ve lost all contact with Casino Night Zone itself.  And… our agents outside the city… they manged to get one message through…” The guard gasped for breath.  “The city is under attack.  A massive ship from the sky, and armoured soldiers, twice the size of any Mobian.  They were trying to capture as many Mobians as they could.” “War is indeed coming,” said King Acorn grimly.  “If they have stuck Casino Night Zone, we will undoubtedly be next.”  Seemingly calm, he turned to the Captain of the Guard.  “Alert every solider.  And begin preparations for an evacuation.  But do not warn the civilians yet.  Do not create a panic if there is no need.”  The Guard bowed and headed out. “As for you two,” the King continued, turning to Sleet and Dingo.  “Your ship, how potent is it?”  Sleet considered for a moment. “It is the match of anything in the skies, and can outfly any biplane.  However, against the behemoths this Robotnik has, I suspect it would be as much use as a balloon.” “You are saying these large… airships are too powerful to stand against?” the King asked. “Yes,” Sleet replied bluntly.

Happy Birthday to the Dragonlord!

Not sure it counts, but I've recently just started trying out Magic the Gathering Arena.  An online version of the MtG card game.  For those who don't know, you play a powerful spellcaster known as a Planeswalker, and you cast spells and creatures from a selection of five colours of magic.  Green, which is nature and big creatures, Red, passion and lots of aggression and fire based spells, Blue, which is logic and all about control, White, which is law and order, and the tanky protection type, and Black, pragmatism and a lot of undead. Up until now, I've always thought of myself as a Green/Red player.  But, having tried out all the sample decks, I found that the Black deck playstyle came... really naturally and was a lot of fun.... uhhhh....

Talk to Matilda

Zzzzzz.... snort   Oh, by the way, the zombie arc is going to continue next year. Oh, and it was something Ian had planned for the reboot.... seriously... Back to sleep   zzzzzz....

I got Diablo III for the Switch.  I had the base game on my PC but there's been some issues with it.  But the portible Switch version just seems soooo much more fun.  And despite the lack of mouse controls it's translated over well for the most part.  The Inventory screens are a little clunky alas.  But all the monster slaying is still there and still fun! Also, YAY!  Necromancers are back!

Happy Birthday Seviper!

Thanks guys!

Heh!  Thanks guys!

Nice work!

This is actually really good news.  You don't change a release date on the fly.  There's a lot of prep, marketing, and of course MONEY tied into it.  So the fact they're changing it shows that they think it will be much better to do what could be a significant redesign.  And maybe, just maybe, that someone actually cares about this film...

Happy birthday to CT!

I've started playing Dragalia Lost.  It's... a fine little Diablo clone, for a mobile app.  It gives my phone something to do now I've dropped Fire Emblem Heroes.

Took me a while to get here, but Happy Birthday Geffy!

So.. yay that they've listened to the feedback... but... HOW IN THE NAME OF GALLIFREY DID THEY NOT SEE THIS COMING??? Unless.... it's all just a conspiracy.... CGI Team: So here is our design for Sonic~ Director: Hey!  That looks good.  But we’ll still get backlash.  Sonic fans are notorious for hating redesigns. CGI Team: We planned for that *shows current movie Sonic design* Director: Dear Lord!  Its hideous CGI Team: Exactly.  We’ll mock up some posters and a handful of scenes for a trailer with this design.  Then say sorry, wait a month, and release the actual look to the public with much acclaim. Director: Genius!

A very belated Welcome to the Forum then!  

Lol!  So you're safe from teeth based nightmares then! Btw, wrt the Traq vs Missiles debate.  Sonic's speed seems to take a moment or two to charge up in the film.  So could be he's outta charge at the point he gets tranq'd, and full charge vs the missiles.

So... I'm the only one here: 1) Not scared of the face (though I agree it looks bad) 2) Who doesn't feel the film will be 'pits of hell' bad and just standard 'cgi+live action kids film' bad.

Bit late, but finally saw it. And... nope, didn't hate it.  Pretty much what I expected.

"Swo wets go!" insisted Stacey. "Of course I can!" said Zoe, just as her legs gave way. "That's true.  Let's just find them," said Ziona.
