Gotta go faster faster faster faster faster faster
I have no idea what happened, but I completely and inexplicably wanted to hop into the Sonic universe after ten years. I found my old GCN memory card and found my Sonic Adventure 2: Battle file to play around and revisit my chao, after an extremely long absence. I played the hell out of that game when it came out, got all the emblems, etc etc. It's one of the few games I've 100% completed in every single way. According to the time on my card, I played about 350-ish hundred hours.
I'll let that sink in.
Yeah, I was a major fan back in the day. I still hold that SA2 is the best Sonic game, and it's still one of my favorite games of all time. I've played a handful of others in the series (the Genesis games, the first Adventure game, Chronicles, even Mean Bean Machine) and none have even grabbed me the same way. Of course, that affection extends to the principal cast (Shadow is, and always will be, boss) and the main story line.
Anyways, after I visited my garden,and realized I'd left two chao in the daycare for ten years, in which they learned how to play the trumpet (they gained a valuable skill so I'm totally not a terrible and negligent parent!!!), I decided I was going to finally force myself to get through Sonic Chronicles.
If you haven't played it, it's an RPG made by Bioware (yep, that Bioware) for the DS which relies way too heavily on touch controls. It's cute, and I really want to beat it, but I always get tired of the controls and annoying ass music (which is not something you should ever have to say about a Sonic game.) I've started it twice before and never got much father than Chapter 5, which is only a few hours in the game (it's super short) before I lost interest.
So while I've been playing that a bit, and have also been considering replaying Adventure's 1 + 2, just for fun. At least until I finally get P5.
That led to me, finally, watching Sonic X on Hulu. It's... not nearly as bad as I expected. Actually, it's kind of good! I had quite a few feelings about it (I just finished the Adventure arc from the beginning of the second season) that I'm sure I'll talk about sooner or later. Knowing me, it'll be later.
Let's just be real.
(Oh, and I start my job Thursday morning. Yoikes)
