Perfect Chaos was pretty good IMO. Far better than the broken-ass piece of shit battle in Sonic Adventure.
Also, Sonic apparently goes rollerskating underwater.

The thing i'm taking note of here is that it's number 6, so this was like a thing that kept happening somehow, maybe Sonic's Dance Power compilations get edgier as time goes on like the hog himself.

I think VIII was the last one. Robotnik looks.. weird.

I have a few Sonic-related albums like that somewhere. I also have the album with Sonic themed Euro-rave, the album that gave us They Call me Sonic
Another car insurance company has a hedgehog as a mascot, and the company is called... Genesis.

Weird is an understatement, look at the shape of his head! Pingas indeed. And that other link is going to give me nightmares filled with terrifying early CGI.
Same. Really fun level.
This game really took me by surprise. It has its fair share of problems (control issues being the biggest of them), but none of them stop it from being insanely fun.

So if the boss fights are really easy (and they are), forget about them, and just enjoy the levels.
Lmao I was dying at the Just Cause video with Super Sonic Racing playing.
Final Boss is just hold x to....win? Featuring Sonic's friends yelling the obvious. Egg Dragoon was glitchy as hell but was only fun because it was such a CHANGE OF PACE compared to the boss in Unleashed.

The 3DS version of the boss is actually much better. Same boss, same basic ideas, but some different attacks, more challenging (at least in 3D), better controls, better ring layouts...
...No friends yelling about homing shots...

Really. Your objective is also clearer and it looks a hell of a lot better.

I think I found a decent video, but I've only watched about 2 minutes in:

The 3D segments look a little jerky, but they work, and later on they get more challenging when you're trying to guess which way the arms are about to smash in from.

Wow that is a much better version of the boss. Golf clap for Dimps on that one!

Strides are being made in getting Sonic Unleashed level data to load in the PC version of Sonic Generations! That's Windmill Isle Act 1, if you can't tell.

While this is bumped, I'm happy to say that my Sonic Generations OST has shipped this week. 
Though I do wish that I had waited a little. I'd actually put that guitar pick in a safe place (until I can't find any of my guitar picks (since I lose them fast) and then I'd have to use it. :lol).
Did they release Sonic CD for PC users as well this week?

Someone should try tweeting their twitter or something (I would, but I don't have Twitter, and their Facebook pages (SEGA and the Sonic fan page) don't allow users to make wall posts). This is rather unacceptable on their side.

I posted earlier that my file for some reason was corrupted in the process of trying to load it. I looked on Google for any answer to the problem, but all I found was a Gamefaqs topic about the same problem. In the end, I decided to just replay it, and finally caught up to where I was. I'm hoping this problem doesn't occur to any of my other saved files.

I tweeted them at the beginning of the week regarding Sonic CD, never got an answer.

That's ridiculous and poor customer service. They seem to respond to other people...
I do recall someone saying in the Sonic CD thread that one site was listing the release on Jan 9th. Given that date has already passed, I'm assuming that it wasn't released at all since the date is now "January 2012".

I got the OST too! It's awesome. Happy to finally listen to the songs in 320kbps quality
I learned that someone named "Circuit Freq" did the Shadow rival battle music and Moderm Radical Highway remixes. Anyone know who that is or are they relatively new like Cash Cash?

The power of PC mods. Hopefully Jungle Joyride has little to no lag this time.

They don't seem so bad.
I'll say this about this recent wave of vocal songs in games like Nier, FFXIII, Sonic, Persona, The World Ends With You, etc: I've been introduced to a lot of bands and musicians that I genuinely like as a result.

It has a lot of water. The laggiest stages on PC (Chemical Plant and Seaside Hill) also have tons of water. So...

Is it definitely the water that causes lag on the PC version? My graphics card is below the recommended specs (admittedly by just one build, and I have i7 and 6 gigs of RAM) and while CP lags a lot for Modern Sonic, both versions of Seaside Hill run at a very consistent 60fps with no noticeable slowdown.
BlazeHedgehog

Hm. The only two stages I get framerate problems on are those two, so I figured it would be water, given they both have underwater sections.
Must be all that purple.
Or pink.
Or maybe it's the fire and the water, I dunno, but apparently CPZ has a lot going on SOMEWHERE.

CP lags for almost everyone, but they patched in a fix over the holidays that made less of a slideshow during certain parts.

Saw this at the store the other day and thought it looked like a pretty good Classic/Modern combo. Hadn't seen it before myself.

Well for modern Chemical Plant it's always when I first take the high-path when you reach the first 'inside' bit and have a spider badnik and a few floating boxes where the frame rate goes to hell, along with the pipe you slide down, and the former situation doesn't even really have any visible water. Maybe it's something happening in the background?
It's even weirder since the part where the plant starts blowing up near the end still happens at a smooth 60fps. Also different engine and all that but seeing some Colors levels ported to Generations would also be neat. Has anybody started making their own original fan levels?
So playing the game some more again, it just crossed my mind, but... what the hell exactly IS the Time Eater? How did it go from a big gaseous mess to crack-headed robot? I feel like I missed something. There's a difference between having a minimal story and a barebones one that Sonic Team or the writers or whoever seems to have forgotten between Colors and Generations.
On the other hand, maybe it's a good thing they didn't explain, because ever since Shadow their explanation has usually been this

It has a passing resemblance to Eggman's Nega-Wisp machine from the ending, maybe mixed with the Void and Frenzy Wisps (which were Wisps Eggman transformed from their natural state). And the Generations introduction to Time Eater did mark it as a direct sequel to the events of Colors.
...So basically aliens.
Dude! I just did one of the challenges (beat the other sonic in a race) in Sky Sanctuary, and the other Sonic (Modern) wasn't on the ground running through the level like I was, I found him glitching along in the background, floating into position so that he could stay close to me. That's fucking cheating!
I bet you Other M is better. At least that looks playable.
I listened to the links you posted and some more on spotify. I do like their other stuff! I also listened to some of Cash Cash's older stuff. Eh...pretty average compared to the awesome Sonic remixes.
Well if that is the case, we'll see.
Why? Even if it's free it's still going to be horrible!
LOL that video's hilarious.
Multiquote is nifty isn't it?
I'm a masochist. I have to experience the horror.
