  1. I skipped over it before for some reason, but I finally read Sonic Live. It was awful.

      From what I've read of Penders' stuff, I'll still take his writing over the writing of Angelo Decesare or Mike Gallagher.

      It's not TOO bad at the moment. Other may disagree of course, but to my mind the SA1 adaption is the start of the decline in the main series.

      I'm completely up to date on the main series, Penders' work gets worse... Much worse...

  2. It's now midnight here, so I'm officially 16!

  3. Well, I guess I'm 17 now.

  4. Nearing issue #30 of the Sonic comics. They're improving, but haven't really gotten to anything that I would consider great yet. Issue #25 was really underwhelming, by the way.

      They'll get better. Read them all and sometimes they got meh...but it's worth reading

      Once you go to 50 do not feel bad to skip all the way to 160.The time between then was a time many would prefer to forget.

    4. ViciousPhantom

      ViciousPhantom

      Unfortunately, I can't do that. I've read #150 onward, I'm just filling in the gaps for myself.

  5. Does anyone remember when the Mobius X Years Later universe first showed up?

      You made a comic guide. It's fair enough

  6. So, after hearing so many negative things about it, I decided to give the Powerpuff Girls reboot a watch. It really doesn't deserve all the hate it's been getting.

      Oh I remember the old show... yeah. Reboots usually don't match up to the old shows mostly because the types of cartoons nowadays are different than the old ones. I've been pretty disappointed with some of what I've seen with reboots...

      I dunno. I watched the first few episodes when they were released, but in the end I just found it to be very dull and unfunny. Plus, it does one of my least favourite things about kids show reboots these days: using modern-day memes for humour.

    4. Dei_Do

      IMHO, I'd like to reboot Powerpuff Girls Z.

  7. Well, it's the 21st here, which means I'm officially 18. I am not ready for this.

  8. Going to take on the possibly crazy task of reading issues #1-149 of the Sonic comics, as those issues are the only ones I haven't read yet.

      Good luck with reading them. There may be a lot but shouldn't be too much

      The first 50 are alright,afterwards it all goes downhill from there...until 160 of course.

  9. My copy of Batman: Arkham Knight has finally arrived!

      I bought it on PS4. Even if the PC port wasn't terrible, I still wouldn't haven't bought it.

      I have to know how Arkham Knight is before I get it, it's kind of my tradition for Batman games.

  10. Finally got all of the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic Mania. 7 was way easier than it should have been.

      I mean it is a bit slippery yes, and it has obstacles later on but I'd say the controls are damn good.

    3. ViciousPhantom

      ViciousPhantom

      I've had no issues with the controls. The only difficulty I've had in the special stages comes from the actual stage design, which is good.

    4. Shinomi-chan

      Shinomi-chan

      Yep, that's true, the design choices were.... interesting...

  11. Today's the day; the first IDW Sonic issue is out! Anybody else picking it up?

      I have yet to get/ it! I really need a way to get it though. I want a physical copy but digitally might be my only option.

      Kinda hope they have a subscription plan or something I can do, cause idk if any stores around me will have it.

      Just got myself a copy! Its good!!

  12. So, for the next few days I'm going to be absent from this site, since I'm currently in the process of moving, and it's going to take a day or two to drive to where I'm moving to. My new place is also not going to have Internet for a couple days, but it shouldn't take too long to get it set up.

      That sounds pretty hard going. Hope it goes well and good luck.

  13. Wow, the soundtrack for Kimi no Na wa is amazing!

      Haven't actually watched the movie yet, but I really want to.

      Dude. o_o you + kissanime ASAP!

    4. ViciousPhantom

      I'd rather not watch it there, but considering I won't be able to see it in theaters and the BD release isn't until late this year, I might need to.

  14. Nintendo destroyed E3. So much Metroid.

      I'm sooo happy. I'm going to grab both Metroid games, because I have to give Nintendo more of my money now.

    3. Seviper the Fang Snake

      More Metroid is always better! Except for Federation Force...

      Well, I don't think we should expect Prime 4 soon though. But man, that Metroid 2 remake though. Well I guess the two games prior to SNES aren't canon anymore. And yet I don't see any purist crying about that. *cough* Original Trilogy purists *cough*

  15. Spotify's been killing it when it comes to adding Japanese artists this year. Very happy about that.

      I love all the stuff they’ve got on Spoofy nowadays. 

      Also, just gonna leave this here. You’ll never say it the same afterwards :P

      Vicious, I know I should but I'm a lazy bum :3

  16. All right, let's do this. Beginning my insane task of reading 149+ issues of Sonic the Hedgehog, starting with the 3 issue mini-series.

    1. Skye Prower

      Skye Prower

      Good luck!

    2. Danny Felixe

      You can do it!

      HyperMetal50

      Good luck. Funny really, I've been re-reading issues 160 to 247. :P

  17. After an unintentional break, I shall now return to reading the Sonic comics from issues #33-150.

    1. Skye Prower

      Skye Prower

      33... isn't that great, not the best place to start from. If you've been noticing the comics slowly getting more serious, 33 is a throwback of about 20 issues. Plus, the story with Snively is really out of place after what he did in 30.

      Since I'm a modern girl, I like the latest drawing instead of the earlier weird ones. I know I'm missing a lot of information, but I have plenty of services to find the information whenever it is needed.

    3. Skye Prower

      Skye Prower

      I would still say they're worth reading through, if only once, just out of curiosity if nothing else.

  18. On issue #42 now, and I feel the comics really started to degrade once Mike Gallagher started to be one of the more common writers. Mecha Madness, while I was looking forward to it turned out to be boring and bogged down by Gallagher's overall clumsy feeling writing. I really do hope that things pick up once Endgame starts, but as of now it's not all that promising. Also, issue #33 was just awful.

    1. HyperMetal50

      HyperMetal50

      I don't really look at the early stuff, but I do know that the point your reading at is when things would be serious and dramatic one issue, then punny and cartoonish the next. It's didn't feel very focused in one direction.

    2. Skye Prower

      Skye Prower

      It's still in it's transition phase.

    3. Danny Felixe

      Danny Felixe

      Yeah. I remember Mecha Madness. It was a little disappointing. But just keep reading. It gets better

  19. School has kept me from resuming my reading of comics, but hopefully I should be able to get back to that this weekend. I'm also working on a review of the most recent issue of Sonic the Hedgehog!

    1. Skye Prower

      Skye Prower

      Cool! Looking forward to it

    2. Danny Felixe

      Ooh! Sounds interesting

  20. I've had so little to do today that I'm actually being sort of productive.

    1. Shinomi-chan

      Shinomi-chan

      huh o_o That's great?

    2. Danny Felixe

      Danny Felixe

      You can do that? O_O

    3. Shinomi-chan

      Shinomi-chan

      yes you can :D

  21. I just watched the newest Batman v Superman trailer. I really wish I could say it looks like it's actually gonna be good, but it doesn't.

    1. BrayPlays (Formerly CyDra)

      BrayPlays (Formerly CyDra)

      And i'm most likely going to watch it in theater because I like both super heroes.

    2. Danny Felixe

      Danny Felixe

      Eh... im not going to watch it. I like Batman but I care not for Superman and I suspect I won't really like it

    3. Seviper the Fang Snake

      Seviper the Fang Snake

      I'm a superhero guy, I like Batman, I don't care for Superman. I don't think I'll watch it either. I did like the Dark Knight trilogy. The superhero movies I'm into is the Marvel Cinematic Universe and X-Men.

  22. Just finished issue #50, and the comics really do feel like they're improving. Endgame was actually better than I expected. I look forward to reading more.

      Nice! Keep going! And keep enjoying them

  23. Happy Halloween! I'm celebrating by reviewing Gargoyle's Quest II for the NES!

    I'm also listening to Terror Time Again from Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.

      Cool review, Vicious! I enjoyed it. Keep up the great work, and you my friend, will earn yourself a very loyal subscriber!

  25. I think I'll spend a bit of time trying to some of the less active forum topics back into the light. Or at the very least get them out of the depths of the site.
