Actually on that note, would Eggman get along with any of the Evil Doctors in DC/Marvel?
>>135687272
Hell no. You saw how him and Wily ended up.
>>135687204
Never forget,you'll always have /hsg/
>>135687382
True, true, and the majority of evil scientists/doctors in the Big Two have even bigger egos than either of them
>>135686046
What is everyone expecting? Besides disappointment
>>135687514
hearthstone general?
>>135687272
I don't read comics so the only evil doctor I can name in either is Doom and I guess Sivana but I only know of him cause of the tripfag that used to hang on /co/, so I got no idea what Sivana's shtick is or who he fights even.
>>135687784
>so I got no idea what Sivana's shtick is or who he fights even.
I know he fights Captain Marvel/Shazam, but other than that I got nothing. I could see him getting along with Dr Light (Not the one from Mega Man, the one from DC) before he went all rape-happy
charlie's wife is cute AF
is she a goat? she doesn't have goat girls stutter/bleat
>>135688150
She looks like a goat. Maybe the other girl's just got a verbal tic.
>>135688150
Antelope? And what the fuck is Charlie?
>>135688225
The Angry Video Game Nerd. Seriously look at him, it's uncanny
>>135688349
He doesn't look like Jaakko at all.
So do we have archives now? Last time I remember people mentioning them they were talking about them going poof.

what is the worst piece of SONIC music that everyone seems to love?
sonic tracks only,
not his friends music, just sonic's
>>135696491
Your favorite of course.
>>135696491
Like the worst Sonic theme? Easy, "It Doesn't Matter," is the worst.
>>135696558

you sure?
>>135696584
the one that everyone seems to love but you think they're all crazy for liking because you know it's shitI like itit's not even in my top 30, but I like it
don't really have any otehr sort of tech support
trying to play generations that I got a few days ago with a logitech controller, using x360ce
I had it working a few days ago but not it's not letting me register anything and I don't know what I'm doing differently than before
>>135698578
Just use joy2key , pinnacle game profiler, or whatever software logitech got for your gamepad to tie in Keyboards keys to your pad's button.
That's how I did with some random blutooth controller I had lying around. Pretty neat since bluetooth is so common these days.
Clove is love!

well shit. did anyone actually read the sonicstadium article?
>What will this special reveal be? Well we know for certain that it’s not going to be a game. However with Yuji Naka being present along with Iizuka, you can’t blame fans for speculating it might be something important.
how long is it until the panel anyway?
>>135701181
>Yugi Naka buys Sonic from Sega
>then cancels the franchise forever to focus on more Rodea
>>135701335
>Both yuji naka and izuka and publicly fired
>Sega to focus entirely on pc and mobile gaming, killing sonic forever
>Then they bring it back a year later, and it's the greatest sonic game ever made.
>>135688150
She's just another bad case of C&P in Sonic Boom. Notice how the other guy is mostly David the Intern or Justin Beaver.

why would sega sell sonic? hes their mascot

mfw this seems like a more well made RPG than Chronicles
What do you think of the latest Sonic Spitball video?
In retrospect, it's kind of amazing that the earlier 3D games were pretty much vanilla platformers with a high rate of acceleration.
>>135707813
Did anyone buy this game?
>>135708056
No.
What are your thoughts on the Sonic Mangas?
>>135708925
My headcanon is that Sonic's "real" name is Nicky and the manga family is his actual family, living on Christmas Island as Sonic adventures around the world. Just without the whole transformation gimmick.
>>135708925
I kinda want Anton Bukera to become a regular, low-level thug in the main Sonic universe.
That and I kinda miss the experimental days of the franchise where all sorts of random elements like pic related would just show up. Overall a good read.
Now, who remembers THIS manga?
>>135709675
The Mega Man Zero of Sonic Mangas
So, has this general ever actually died?
>>135710687
No.
>>135710687

Why do I have a bad feeling about the 25th anniversary game? Weren't they supposed to at least put out a teaser for it by now?
>>135713045
>Why do I have a bad feeling about the 25th anniversary Runners event? Weren't they supposed to at least put out a teaser for it by now?
Fixed
I wonder what the intern guy is teasing about. He said he hopes people will cheer loudly at a certain part then posted a picture of Knuckles and a chao with this
"Hoo boy. I don't know why I love this one. Nothing really stands out about it. That lil' water balloon is scarred... "
Chao are coming back?
>>135712616
>6 hours until the fandom collapses in on itself and begins anew
>>135713123
>implying anon would get worried about a Runners event
Rude!
>>135713229
He's confirming that Chao are not coming back, which is a good thing since they're shit.
>>135713045
They were, idk what's going on either but I hope they don't fuck it up this time
You got 10 seconds to Make Adventure 3 the best game ever.
>>135713045
Because everything surrounding Sonic has been a mystery lately and you have every reason to distrust them.
>>135713357
I agree but enough people like them that Sega would be retarded to not try and money squeeze them after the failure that was Runners
Which stream are you going to see for the SXSW panel?

I forgot until just now that Final Rush/Chase has you burn up on reentry if you fall.
>>135718260
Reminds me of the Comic InSonica fuck i miss that.
>>135718260
I remember this comic. I wish SuperPsyGuy was still around. Oh well, at least we have BitPolar.
>>135717392No it isn't.Also, hourly reminder that there are only 5 hours left.
>>135718448
We'll see.
>>135717392
Didn't Aaron confirm that there's no game announcements planned?
I think this is going to be far tamer than people are expecting. Of course, he could be lying.
>>135718402
>I wish SuperPsyGuy was still around
Yeah I could use another Chaos Diamonds 3 in my life.
>>135719217
People keeping hyping themselves up even though Sega has said from the start nothing interesting will be happening.
We're going to get a dozen threads on /v/ and a hundred posts here about how shit the stream was shit because they didn't do something they said from the start they wouldn't do.
>>135719242
I liked his remixes and reviews on Youtube.
>>135719545
I wouldn't be surprised if the most they announce is they're doing one of those Sonic Boom events again. Seems like the perfect year for it. But I just expect this to be your standard panel running through the games while the devs say stuff every so often.
Might be neat? But yeah, not expecting more than that. People are starving for something and they're going nuts though.
>>135719651
>No more Sonic Bastardized
That was one of the first things i saw on youtube.
If they're not announcing anything important, then why is there a "special reveal" at the panel?
>>135720301
They later removed that part of the description.
>>135720301
I also want to know why they've been hyping us up with faux-ARG stuff.
>>135719545
>someone from sega says they'll be an announcement at some future date
>says from the start it's nothing big and/or nothing game related
>people hype their selves up anyway
>announcement is made and is nothing special
>people say it's/sega's shit because it didn't live up to the inflated hype
Every time
Wasn't that number Aaron tossed around 3/21? Why would you expect something on 3/19?
>>135720591
Some people added up the numbers and got a date.
3/21/00
4/01/16
7/22/16
Something's happening in July potentially.
>>135720683
Or you're all seeing something when nothing is actually there.
>>135720930
aaaaaaand i just noticed I fucked up the wedding ring placement. GO ME!
>>135720591
Because there is a panel on the 19th where there's been hinted would be announcements?
In any case, the 21st is the next Monday, and Aaron's said we will get to know the what the numbers mean on the panel, so I'm guessing something's happening on Monday.
Why the fuck wait until Monday though? Son of a bitch, if this is a Runners event, I swear...
>>135714270
There was a story delivery last thread.Also check the archives for an idea about Sally in the throne room.
Might be too late, but it could be fun to have bingo card for the upcoming panel.
>>135720940
That's also true and more likely. People are just really excitable since this is the first year in a while where Sega's gone almost four months into the new year without a peep about a new game.
Everyone is like having a withdrawl from crack or something.
>>135718402
>>135719651
You are aware that the guy was outed as a abusive pedophile, right?
>>135708056

He was accused of it. There was no tangible proof.

>>135713457
you can go back and play the old levels from adventure one and two after beating the game, they've been polished
sound test is unlocked after beating the game and you can add and remove any music from any stage
an entire dev team unrelated to sonic main team and been invested into the chao gardens and they've come with tons and tons and tons of new features for chao
>>135720683
They'd be stupid to wait til after E3 to announce the new game. Surely it would be coming long before that.
>>135715765

>>135727872
The guys on the right had coffee, not to hard to solve.
>>135727872
Probably just personal preference. Mike is having lemonade I think, Aaron looks like he's just having ice tea, Roger is just having water. The three corporate execs are the ones addicted to coffee, which is expected.

Collection of all the mobile ports plus 3+K on Steam released on June 23rd please.
>>135731927
That'd be shway. In fact I wonder if the Taxman port of S3&K is happening anytime soon.
No joke I'd like Sonic Heroes HD
>>135730459
While e-celeb shit, I'll summarise.
People complain that Jon isn't making quality vidya videos. He also has to move, he has a girlfriend and they have plans. They're friends now but I still feel there was some animosity between the two of em. He ups and leaves, with little notice halfway through some videos.
Fans wonder what must have happened, while Arin's side and Jon's side never speak about GG between the two of them for like 3 years. Arin comes over to do something for one of Jon's videos, and it seems they're having fun together.
