I never liked sonic. More of a mario guy. I like the controls better. (Meaning the physics of how your character responds to everything, not what button does what)

Then again when it comes to platformers its a bit unfair to compare anything to the classic Mario games.

I mean, to each their own, but in my opinion sonic has superior physics by a technical standpoint. That is, Sonic actually has physics and Mario does not.

Mario has flat ground environments, with a character that runs at one constant speed, and only has a certain hight of jumping capability.

Sonic has uneven hilly terrain that the player uses to build momentum. Momentum is the primary aspect of gameplay in Sonic, and that momentum allows the player to change their running reach and jump to higher places than a standard jump can reach.

Again, I’m not trying to say you can’t prefer Mario, I just think people often don’t realize how Sonic’s gameplay differs so fundamentally when they are comparing the games.

It is the best one, but the other classics are still great.

I didn’t know the falling Dick Jones model played Superman. 😉

But really keep practicing, I’m sure you’ll figure all the shapes out with experience.

I’ve played the first few games. Nothing else exists.

Sonic CD came out before Sonic 3 and was in production before Sonic 2 so…

To be fair that game only has a couple of voice clips saying “I’m outta here” and “yes!”

Sonic has a voice in Sonic CD, which is a classic series entry.

He has a voice in the games. I’m not sure what your source is.

The Japanese voice of Sonic in the Adventure games to present has a sound clip saying alright.

^I read that in Sonic’s voice.

brutally abused his chao.

Nice try but I’m not giving you the satisfaction of quoting you in the out of context thread.

…

Even though you’re begging for it.

Umm… okay?

There is a mini-game in the Sonic Adventure games where you raise a small animal called a chao. He obviously became mad with power and brutally abused his chao.

God bless and best wishes, yhwx.

The Avalanches - ‘Frontier Psychiatrist’

Has to be one of my favorite music videos now.

I would practically watch it on loop when I was in middle school. Certainly among the best.

I love the Marx Brothers! Sean Connery should’ve sent his diary to them!

“Hot H” is the way to pronounce it. If consensus says otherwise, then consensus is wrong.

Yes.

Top Secret is great! It does seem pretty underexposed.

A guy at school (who is obsessed with military things) is trying to say that cavalry is pronounced like calvary (the hill that Jesus was crucified on). I pulled dictionary definitions with phonetics and sound clips and literally proved that wrong, but he still claims that “he knows what he’s talking about.” This is the same guy who is a Star Wars nerd and claimed Hoth was pronounced with a long “o” despite the fact that they say it in the movie.

His stuckup nature gets on my nerves.

★★★☆

This was very good, but it was a little hard to follow at times (not to a massive extent), and

Spoilers, I guess:

the film’s namesake was extremely underwhelming. He just stared at the pig head for five seconds and then walked over to find the dead pilot.

★☆☆☆

The acting sucked and when the story strayed from the book it didn’t make sense for doing it. As a nitpick, the crack in Piggy’s specs looked dumb, like a chip in a car windshield or something.

^You’re stealing coffee’s bit.

Also A Series of Unfortunate Events Season 2: really good and I love NPH’s performance as much as I hate Carrey’s.

Time for you and Dek to slug it out.

★★★☆

I thought switchblades were already illegal. Or is that just butterflies?

The forum update was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Once I get used to it I think this is a lot better.

Not half way through yet, and it is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Lot’s of insight and fun stories within.

I wish Bruce would publish an updated edition or a second volume. His career’s really gone places since this was published.

He published a second book:

Hail to the Chin: Further Confessions of a B Movie Actor

Not half way through yet, and it is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Lot’s of insight and fun stories within.

I think the club one is almost funnier just because it’s practically inaudible.
