^ I've recently started writing reviews again after a very long hiatus. Not back into full swing of it yet but I'm hoping to get some posted over the remainder of the year.

I get inspired once in a while, usually when I discover or rediscover something and listen to it on repeat and want to get my thoughts down before I get sick of it LOL

oops I made a mistake in my two Entombed reviews, it's actually Won't Back Down from Uprising that reminds me of Converge, not any of the tracks on Morning Star


also maybe that should be that Converge reminds me of this, since Jane Doe came out a year later

I didn't care about it in the first place, and still don't, but I'm actually impressed that they actually listened to the complaints. Usually the makers of these big films can't handle anything and just insult anyone who gives them criticism.

Call me cynical but I can't help but wonder if the original Sonic design was a marketing ploy to curry favour so that when the movie drops fans think back to how the film makers 'listened' to fans and overlook the fact that even though the design is now good the film still sucks, really bad. The trailer sure does.

I was a big Sonic fan growing up. I played the games from as early as the Master System and watched several iterations of Sonic cartoons and read Sonic the Comic for years. There are many different continuities of Sonic the Hedgehog. I think that after a while the franchise lost its way regarding continuity, even when you only consider the games. As a long time fan I find it an issue with this latest trailer that they clearly show Sonic's own world at the start (original canon) only to uproot him onto Earth (more like Sonic X canon). This also appears to be an origin story for Robotnik as well, which makes no sense at all regarding the Sonic canon I grew up with, not to mention that his character design also looks very wrong. There's also a ton of other classic characters that I think fans will want to see that they seem to be ignoring, unless they're hiding their inclusion as a surprise. 

Can't help but feel that if this had come out years ago when i was a kid I would have hated it.

I guess it's possible that it was all planned, I think similar has happened before. I've never really been a Sonic fan, only really played Sonic 3 (I think that was the one) as a kid and watched a few Sonic X episodes when there was nothing else on, so I just see it as another mediocre video game movie, but maybe I'd feel stronger if I was a fan.

Either way, I think the updated design actually does look pretty good and is probably as good as you could get for a live action/CGI Sonic film, but that's a problem in of itself. If you have to make video game films, just make them completely animated for the more cartoon-style games.

A few. We could get those American comics imported here in specialist shops, but I would have to go to another town to reach such a place and they weren't that cheap (that I recall). 

I always liked the UK Sonic the Comic much more though. It had a faithful but highly unique continuity that was a lot darker at times than any other Sonic media offered up, most of all its iteration of Super Sonic, who was basically evil incarnate. An example cover:



Sadly Sonic the Comic went into pure re-print after adapting Sonic Adventure (a telling I still maintain was better than the game itself), but it maintained a loyal fan following who continued it for years online (maybe even still do). 

I just never felt the need to pay all that extra for the Archie comics when I had access to this. Not to mention that as a kid I didn't have the means to visit the one shop that sold them with enough regularity to keep up with every issue.

^Ah. Yeah I'm not too familiar w/ the UK's 'Sonic the Comic' but wouldn't mind checking them out sometime though. I'd probably prefer the Archie one anyways though as I grew up watching Sonic SatAM(the best of the 4 Sonic cartoons imo; the other 3 being Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Underground, and Sonic X) and the Archie one was based around that...or something like that(not sure which came first, the comics or the show). In any case, pure nostalgia!!Big smile

If you're interested in Sonic the Comic you can read all the issues online here (the early ones had other comic strips based on Sega titles as well): https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Sonic-the-Comic/Issue-1?id=61820

Found this some years ago when on a nostalgia kick.

I couple of nights ago I went with my wife to see this lineup:
 
Volbeat
Baroness
Danko Jones
 
My wife loves Volbeat, so I went to please her, but it actually turned out to be a really great show. I was impressed by the variation of the show, and how professional Volbeat are on a stage. It was 11 years since I saw them last time, supporting Megadeth, and back then I didn´t think much of them. But they´ve definitely grown since then.

Moved to Effort, Pennsylvania. It'll be nice for a change of scenery(and for my mom to stay away from the drugs).
