While the fact that Sonic Adventure has a lot of cut content is well known, I didn't realize just how many cut lines Tikal had. Including one that directly calls the Chao prehistoric.

Wait, Ian Flynn isn't the head writer for Sonic IDW anymore? Why? Is there a write up where they explain the shake up?

Can we speculate without spoiler tags? I was thinking the coffin person is Mimic (I don't like the character) bonded with dead Starline. The final attack was a huge black 'star' shape.

Btw, while it's cute that Belle, Sage and Metal are sort of a family, I'm kinda over Belle. Just let her be Tinker 2.0 and stop involving her in Eggman related stuff.

There wasn't much to it, other than Ian got busy doing other projects. Localizing the script for Sonic Frontiers and a few other smaller games, and working more closely with Sega in different capacities, such as working on their Lore Team.

This all happened a while ago. And it's kind of hard to really notice, because he still does pop in to write the comic pretty frequently. It's just that technically, I think Evan Stanley's the one choosing the course of the comic now. But, they probably chat and collaborate on where to take things together.

How has Evan been taken by the fans? Did she create Clutch the possum? I did remember not really caring about those issues.

I forget but did she create Solei or Nights into Dreams acrobat?

It's been confirmed that the Sonic YouTube channel will do a birthday stream on June 23 (9:30 PDT). It's interesting that they "won't be covering everything" since that both sets expectations not to expect some massive announcement and that something will be announced.

I'm just a the start of Sonic Frontiers and it's not captivating me gameplay wise. Too many random rings and platforms around the first area that I have no idea have any importance.

I do like the first mechanic, where Sonic can run a circle around anything and reveal secrets. That's new.

Real purpose of post.

I saw Sheep Detectives. I was so excited to see it actually. I didn't even know He-Man was in it. It was pretty good, though there was sheep social commentary.

But darn it, I didn't solve the mystery! Argh!

Anyway, watching the credits, TYSON HESSE was involved?!?!? Executive producer or something?!?!? He animated the sheep?!?!?! The sheep were awesome but they were real and not Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons. Awesome for him! Hope he gets more work!

You don't need to watch the Sonic birthday stream.

I mean, you can if you want. Here it is. But from watching it live, it was running off of "adults presenting a younger kids show" energy. Part of this is that it was mainly a charity stream for St. Jude. There were highlights but they were spread throughout the 5 hours:

-Pink Mozart did several symphony variants of Sonic songs.
-Tee Lopes did some DJing.
-Evan Stanley was quietly drawing during the stream a large cast picture. Don't know if it'll get inked and colored.
-A few fans showcased some impressive collections of Sonic memorabilia.

However, while it was known that there wouldn't be a ton of announcements, there were two of note. One, was a blink and you'll miss it reveal that Nintendo will be doing two collections of Sonic games. If I heard right that the Classic collection has Superstars and the Modern collection has Colors Ultimate, then that might mean that two games that had buggy launches will get recompiled with all patches. Possibly. The other announcement is presumably the website + ad campaign for the year. It's interesting because I don't know if it's a scavenger hunt, ARG, or what:

Also...

Sonic Frontiers Definitive Edition for Switch 2, which is a release with no new content, no upgrade path, and is on a Game Key Card if you go physical.

Classic Sonic, Crazy Taxi, and Samba de Amigo are being added to Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, with TMNT coming next month.

And most important of all...

Oh my...


They finally revealed what the time portals look like that Silver steps through and reiterated that time travel leaves inconsistencies and gaps in memories. Including that they never brought up two people using Chaos Control. Plus, the acknowledgement that Amy counts as a time traveler since (due to being kidnapped) she time traveled before Sonic did.

I was thinking about the discussion about the mysterious character in IDW but upon seeing an upcoming solicitation I'm wondering if we're asking the wrong question. The question has been who is the mysterious character but should we be asking, "what's the end goal?"

Metal Sonic was forced to attack Sage. Sonic & Amy had doppelgangers attempting to tear down the traits of the other. Issue 92 sounds like Tangle & Whisper will be at odds. Considering the Chaos Emeralds, is the mysterious figure cultivating negative emotions? That would shift the read of what's happened so far. Especially since the current two parter was supposedly "light on story" but had character interaction.

I've been getting all these clips from Sonic Boom recommended to me on YouTube, and I've really been enjoying them.


And hey, there was a complete series Blu-ray released just a few years ago!

...yeah, no. Basically out of stock on Amazon.com and .ca, and $200 on eBay.

Sigh.

Well... checking around you can get Season 1 complete on blu ray, and season 2 complete on blu ray each going on ebay for around 30 depending on shipping.

Amazon has the season 1 blu ray for 25.22 and the second season blu ray for 11.52

So unless you just REALLY don't like it taking up two spots, you could do that?

Yeah, but I want to own it.

Oh? Huh, I wonder how I missed that. Handy, thanks!

Maybe I was just struck by the Adam Bryce Thomas art on the Steelbook.

I guess that would just leave getting the rest of the characters as figures. I already have a few (still want Sticks and especially Amy). Unfortunately, they weren't released in Canada, so just the shipping alone is bound to run that up.

It's always weird how these things can work. I ran into a similar problem with Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated.

Season 1 was like around 20 bucks (or maybe even ten) complete, but season 2 is usually over 100. Yet Season 2 part 1, and season 2 part 2 are like... maybe 15 bucks a piece? So I ended up just going for those as like you. I just wanted to own it.

Going back to Sonic Boom. I only have season 1 on DVD, as my Walmart had the limited edition boxes with the figures. Kinda disappointing that didn't seem to carry on to season 2. Season 1 part 1 gives you Sonic and Eggman, and Season 1 Part 2 got you Knuckles and Tails.

You'd think Season 2 Part 1 would give you Amy and Sticks, but no. You get a Sonic backpack clip (Of Sonic) and season 2 part 2 didn't give anything from what I can see. >_<
