This video is brilliant. It systematically breaks down why games as a service is a scam legally and conceptually.

As someone who hasnât played a Sonic since 2, why is he called Eggman instead of Dr. Robotnik?
Eggman is his Japanese name. When Sonic Adventure came to the US Sega decided to use the Japanese continuity and names. The English dub made Eggman the derogatory nickname Sonic and his crew had for Robotnik. Later games dropped this to make it his actual name.

I wish they just used both. Itâs a nickname that works for him while keeping the American name as a way he would wish to be addressed.
Still surprised nintendo didnât do the same for bowser
He is shaped like an egg and he is a man.
and of course the downward spiral continuesâŠhahaha you already know what Iâm talking aboutâŠhere we go 
I actually do like this game but I also love watching a good train-wreck in progress. Itâs almost like they were determined to steal Fall Out 76âs thunder by becoming the biggest joke in the industry. (*Iâm sure Bethesda would like to personally thank BioWare at this point for stealing that âhonorâ)
Cuphead todayâanother one down⊠I beat the train boss; that took several tries but it still wasnât on par with the ridiculousness of Dr. Kahlâs Robot first form though, imo⊠or Rumor Honey the Bee. The tough part with the train was this little thing that flies at the top of the screen, dropping some pink candy thing on your âboxcarâ steering wheel thing, which usually sets you up to get hit by something.
They use both names itâs just that Eggmanâs real name doesnât really come up as often or is actually relavant to the story as it was in adventure 2. Eggman has always been his name and I dig the fact that they atleast made Ivo Robotnik his real name.

I canât wait. This is going to be glorious.
P.S. Jim Carrey is kind of awkward as a comedian, but can be a good comedic actor. As far as âMan on the Moonâ his portrayal was spot on. If there is an issue with the film it is that it is centered around Andy Kaufman.

So the issue of a biopic about the career of Andy Kaufman is that it focused on Andy Kaufman?
What?

Andy Kaufman is a creep with a very unsavory style of satire.

Cupheadâback on trying to defeat the Unstoppable Godâ Dr. Kahlâs Robot againâŠit was on XB1 that I beat him that 1 time, so now Iâm trying and dying over and over again on Switch versionâŠthis boss is SO goddamn ridiculous, manâŠ
Check how easy this player makes it look though:
âŠbut trust me, 99.999% of people wonât be able to do that so smoothly^.
HELL YEAH that muthafucka is DOWN now! Hell yeah, man
editâ it will be interesting to see if Jim Careyâs career can survive this Sonic filmâŠmaybe heâs in the mood of âeh, fuck it.â and was just seeing another paycheck? Just in that one picture though, it already looks like something that can end the acting career of most people. âŠreminds me of that âToo Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmarâ film that nearly destroyed Wesley Snipes (and those other guys that were in it)
Busted out the PSP and played some Pocket Racers, NFS: Underground Rivals(fun as hell and is graphically REALLY close to the Underground games on console) and this gem:
This game is awesome. Itâs similar to the After Burner games but thereâs actual racing involved with a nice sense of speed. The Nitrous mechanic is even called After Burner. Itâs fast, thereâs Nitrous, you can perform slick maneuvers to dodge incoming projectiles and the performance is smooth and it just felt fun as hell to play. You can pick up items during races ALA Mario Kart, and this range from giving you Nitrous to giving you weapons to blow up rival racers.
Thereâs a nice sense of speed with this game and NFS: Underground Rivals. 600 MPH according to the HUD in M.A.C.H. while maneuvering around corners and dodging enemy projectiles is just so goddamn fun and satisfying.
Iâm hoping he hams it up hard like he did when he played The Riddler.
The dude is so famous that whether or not the movie is shit wonât do anything to his career imo. Itâs interesting to see how heâs changed post-crisis though. @J-ride I watched the Man on the Moon doc earlier and while the footage itself is pre-crisis him sitting and being interviewed with the beard was post-crisis Carrey.
I actually thought it was great, he said some profound stuff especially when he was talking about his father. It was interesting to see how far he went to just play a character. Itâs also interesting for him to have had his dreams come true(becoming a famous millionaire) and yet while sitting around having everything some people could only dream of, heâs unhappy. Post-crisis Carrey mang. Iâm interested to see what he does next and Iâm hype for season 2 of Kidding(seriously guys, watch that show. Itâs funny but itâs also really fucking dark.)
Having had the PSP NFS games, as well as console I donât remember them looking quite as good as PS2 games, and I never had an XB or GC, and those were reportedly better. The play was also very watered down due to lack of modes.
You think it looks better because the PSP screen was better than most TVâs from the PS2 era, and even if you played PS2 on an HDTV, it looks worse.
The sonic the hedgehog IP if isnât Dead before, this is the final nail in the coffin.
Fuck Jim Carrey, fuck Sega for allowing this to happen, fuck Paramount for making this shit, Fuck Jim Carrey again for being a no-talent hack (he hasnât been good in YEARS), and fuck you for exposing me to this infection.
I said it looked really close to the console games, I never said it looked better. Re-read the first 2 lines from that post again. Iâll even quote myself for you.
Jim Carrey has never not been good DarkSookie. Watch Kidding and tell me that show isnât better than 98% of the shit on Netflix.

Your swearing of a Video Game IP having its final nail being a bad movie is odd considering that weâve already mentioned before that bad VG movies donât kill IPs. We wouldnât be playing Mario games or Street Fighter if that was the case.

Sonic has survived things that should have killed his series but it continues to live on. This movie will not be the worst thing to happen to him.
Nothing could be worse than being coopted by furries.
Sonic fandom been having furries since aol and IM.
