Runner2 is good stuff, yo. Not stupid ass hard like the first one was, but it's challenging and engaging like few other games. Play it on Rather Hard, go for all the Gold, have fun.

I want to believe this, it looks nice but I can't forgive that turd of a UFO dropping crystal patterns right in front of my face requiring split second reactions or else you repeat the previous 3 minutes all over again, and again, and again. To think that was but the first world.

Editing as we speak. I want to know what Sciz has to add to it, though, because I'm adding a few things as well. I fixed grammar, punctuation, some style, and some formatting already. I also added in some tags. I also added that the Mega Man comics included some nods to Super Adventure Rockman.
Overall, good idea to put the disclaimer in there considering how the announcement thread went. I think it's pretty decent so far. Just fixed some of the formatting, spacing, style, morphology, etc. Might either PM or post some stuff here when I'm done. I had to fix the FCBD thing, though, because some people mightn't know what Free Comic Book Day is, so I extended it instead of leaving it as an acronym.
Are you planning on putting in the cover pictures for most of the issues? Including the variants?
WTF. That's stupid. Should've just released it in the west simultaneously, unless they're fixing stuff like "realize"/"realise", etc. Silly.
And this is you.
Hahaha, don't feel hyped up too much. But it's awwwwwweeeesommmmmme.
The soundtrack, at least.
Neat. Will listen to it as I'm working on some stuff.

I once felt that your opinion on SMW by comparison to SMB3 was a filthy lie yet curse your wretched tongue, some of what you said rang true as I'd discover when replaying it last year, i've never been able to decide on a favourite 2D Mario ever since.
Your truth broke me.
Well I just beat Mistral and, well it's fun, yes that thing, fun.Hahaha, don't feel hyped up too much. But it's awwwwwweeeesommmmmme.
The soundtrack, at least.
Raiden needs to make up his mind whether he wants to talk normally or stick with that occasionally cropping up Bale Batman style gravely voice thing he has going.
It's like the best remix there, ya'll just hill top haters.
Meanwhile Mystic Cave comes with 50% more Scooby Doo in a carnival vibe, it's Foul Play in Funland Zone

I had totally meant to post this:
@Tizoc, I had help with coming up with ideas for some parts of it, so if you’re going to credit people, I’d politely ask that you credit Bean as well.
I might add some stuff in later.

Introduction:
“Worlds Collide” is a 12-part comic book crossover event between Archie’s Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man comic book series. According to Archie editor Paul Kaminski, Sega and Capcom signed off on the crossover event prior to 2011’s New York Comic Con. It was only natural that the Blue Bomber and the Blue Blur would meet in one lengthy and exciting crossover.
The entire story arc will take place across 3 comic book series: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Universe and Mega Man. It will span 4 months from April until August with a total of 12-13 issues, and will be written primarily by Ian Flynn, the main writer for all 3 comic series. It will also feature cover art by Patrick “Spaz” Spaziante, longtime artist for the Sonic comic book series and for the earlier Mega Man issues.
The schedule is as follows:
Prologue:
Act One: Kindred Spirits:
Arc Two: Into the Warzone
Arc Three: Chaos Clash
The crossover arc issues can be purchased either digitally from websites such as comixology, or you may purchase them from their Local Comic Shop.
If you want to catch up on the series in general (ie: not as part of this comic crossover) and be up to date with it, here’s the essential reading order:
Both series are available digitally or by purchasing from local retailers.
A few things to keep in mind when trying to read the Sonic comic: This series has featured many characters and settings (ex: Mobius, Knothole, Robotropolis, etc) introduced exclusively in the comic, and to newcomers reading it they will notice it referencing events and stories from past issues. I strongly suggest not worrying about them since they, for the most part, don’t get brought up again. Just focus on the current story and characters, and you’ll end up not caring for past events too much. The writing since issue #160 has become much stronger and the narrative and subplots have become more engaging to readers.
The Mega Man comic is a must read for anyone who has ever enjoyed the main Mega Man series, as it is a wonderful adaptation of many of the games. It also makes references to real issues in terms of modern robotics while still making some pop culture references. Besides the intelligent and well-researched writing, the artwork for all of the arcs can be considered a major asset. Archie typically rotates their artists for different arcs in order to allow multiple artists to improve and adapt their skills throughout the story arc. Some may view this as an inconsistency, but overall, it keeps the art fresh, and it’s interesting to see different people’s takes on Mega Man’s art while sticking to specifications in terms of proportions and inks. Anyone who’s a fan of Mega Man for its narrative arcs, the video games, or the art should strongly consider giving the comic series a chance.

If you want to catch up on the series in general (ie: not as part of this comic crossover) and be up to date with it, here’s the essential reading order:
- Sonic series: Start with Sonic the Hedgehog #160, then begin reading the Sonic Universe issues when the main book mentions it.
- Mega Man series: Volumes 1-4 are now available in TPB format and comprise of the events that take place from Mega Man 1, Powered-Up!, Super Adventure Rockman, and Mega Man 2. Prior to the crossover arc, the comics began to foreshadow events for Mega Man 3.

I'd probably mention that the setting for the comics is totally different, too. I mean, Sonic Generations didn't feature no dang Mobius or nuttin'. I'd bring up Knothole, Robotropolis and so on, but I'm pretty sure the former was destroyed by Eggman and the latter nuked, so I have no friggin' clue what the setting is anymore.

Yeah, I wasn't sure what to say about that either (how the plot setting is in disarray). I was sure Sciz would take care of it since he knows the Sonic comics far better than I do.
The present hub of operations is New Mobotropolis, a hijacked city of nanomachines that Eggman lost to a rogue AI. The AI got itself killed, prompting Nicole to move in and reshape it into paradise.
They have since discovered that there are downsides to being surrounded by AI-controlled nanites.
The Unleashed Project mod for Sonic Generations just got released!

The whole point of Eggmanland was that it was both Sonic and Werehog switching back and forth in one giant stage. It wouldn't work in Generations.
On a horrible place nobody will ever want to look at.

People asking for Eggmanland?
That's like those dudes who was asking for the final Xen levels in Half-Life 1's remake/mod, Black Mesa. Ya'll really want more confusing first-person platforming puzzles!?

as much as I appreciated a challenge, the execution and length it took to complete it (without glitching) made me not want to play Eggmanland after I went through it...twice(not counting the Wii version).

I absolutely love the instrumentation in there. From the synth to the heavy beats, to the bass, to the piano bits. It's nicely put together, and I really liked how each theme was used in-game. Load times are a shame because I would've been interested in the BGMs being seamless.

Not enough accolades given to the jazzy stuff.
Evening Dreamscape pt1 - For Sunset Star Act 1
Interlude - For Sunset Star Act 2
Evening Dreamscape pt2 - For Sunset Star Act 3
Creature of Nightmare - For Sunset Star Boss Act
Or Metro Madness (Funk Fiction), for that matter! Or Fortress Flow Act 3 (which was Andy).
Seriously, though. C'mon. I gushed about this album in several threads for a reason.

I don't remember, it's been nearly 3 years since I've played the game. I've been meaning to go back to it.
I don't mind the FFD sprites when they're not in mainline games, they look horrible in V.
Is Square ever planning to go back to the 3D remakes they were doing on the DS? I'd be interested in seeing 5 and 6 on 3DS.
