A Sonic The Hedgehog Q&A

Oh, I love these guys for their Sonic reviews.  It had just dawned on me that the people behind the youtube name SomecallmeJohnny had been making some pretty nice animations and they are (to say the least) pretty entertaining, especially if you're a fan of the cast.  Recently they released a belated part 2 of them interviewing the cast, so I'll be posting both for anyone's enjoyment.

I cannot find part 2 through blogspot's youtube search, so you can just click these underlined words which will send you to it.

Where you can feel my heart just raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace~

Just need a starter post to know what blog posts will look like, but I might as well make the first post somewhat captivating, right?

Firstly, if you're curious - what kind of Sonic fan am I?  To answer that, it would probably be a good idea to make a list of some random things within the Sonic franchise and give a brief answer about them stating whether I favor it or not.  Ready?

• Big The Cat - don't care
• Classic Sonic games (main series) - love
• Storylines - don't care (there's never been any good ones)
• Archie Comics - I can appreciate these, though I haven't read them in forever
• Black/Green Eyes, shoe buckle/no shoe buckle, soles, etc - GTFO
• Fan games - depends... don't really care for something like Sonic 2 HD or something unfinished
• Fanfics - don't really read them
• Shadow The Hedgehog - don't care
• Riders series - sure
• Takashi Iizuka - sure
• Amy Rose - sure
• Speed runs - looooooooooooooooooooooove
• Adventure games - yes
• Sonic Heroes - no
• Sonic 06 - no - though, "His World" is a really nice song.
• Silver The Hedgehog - I like this theme w/o vocals.
• Labyrinth Zone - *trollface*
• Game mods - not really
• Sonic 4 Episode 1 - terrible, just no.  If Yuji Naka played this, he must've demanded for an oxygen tank so he could laugh
• Sonic 4 Episode 2 - not saying anything until I've touched it
• SatAM/The Adventures of... - Yes
• Miles "Tails" Prower - can't say no to Tails
• Sonic R -Richard Jacques and TJ Davis's contributions are the only thing that matter in R.
• Team Chaotix - bleh
• Chao - seeing that Sachiko Kawamura created them... oh, yes.
• Storybook series games - eh...
• Blaze The Cat - another purple cat?  Well, at least this one's pretty fast and isn't silly.  I approve.
• Fanart - of course, though it's not something I seek.  No furry-love plx
• Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing - sure
• Knuckles - Out of the original 4, Knuckles is my least favorite but I don't dislike him.
• Planet Wisp Act 1 - proof that Sega has a never-ending river of talent for finding talented music composers
• Metal Sonic - neutral
• Advance series - 1, yes. 2, yes. 3, okay
• "Modern" gameplay - yes
• Solo Sonica - yes
• Playable friends - waiting for them to get it right
• Classic physics - yes, they matter, but...
• Music - looooooooooooooooooooove, Jun Senoue is amazing... ! (Except in Sonic 4, but he's still the best!)  Kenichi Tokoi... and other composers whose names I haven't memorized yet.

So, yes.  If I were to sum up my top 3 favorite things about Sonic The Hedgehog it would be

1. Sonic
2. Sonic music
3. Sonic running

That's all there is to it, really.  I play the games for the gameplay, and even though it's a platformer where you currently run, jump, drift, air dash, slide, stomp, homing attack, wall jump, grind rails, destroy enemies, collect rings and bounce off springs, I just want to see who can do it the fastest.

Time to stop here and doll up the blog a bit~
