Anyone here actually ever play Blinx? Man that sucked. Never did get to play the probably amazing sequel though

I want to say they switched it to a more painted style but I think that was Touch and Go.
Still that game was somewhat worthwhile.
edit: there was a blinx sequel?! wow, look at that ATTITUDE, it's so nineties, shame the game came out like ten years to late.

When Yoshi's Island 2 actually comes out, maybe we'll consider it
Which reminds me how Super Mario Land 3 is also Wario Land 1
Nah, Universe got started up in spring 2009, and Ian had pretty well finished his cleanup by fall 2007. Hard to think of #160 being over six years ago now, but it was.
Basically, Sega and Capcom both brought up the idea of a crossover as a possibility, Paul Kaminski jumped on it, and then it turned out that Ian had quietly been writing crossover concepts since the day they'd gotten the Mega Man license in the first place. I assume the licensors were both interested it making it happen since both series gain visibility by working with the other.
Take it to the next level and go for 10.
Nope. New game, even though the first world felt like a rehash

I am surprised that we don't have a Mario community thread yet.
That game does not exist.
Ah. Then wtf was up with that 30 Years Later arc, then? After the SU issues and the SSSM volume with those issues, I have to wonder what in the world they were thinking with that.
Huh, interesting that both Sega and Capcom brought it up. Didn't think they cared that much. It doesn't surprise me that Flynn was writing up concepts for it, though. Not in the slightest. MM is pretty solid, so I have to wonder if he's a bigger fan of the series than he is of Sonic sometimes.

Hey, guys
Sonic
I know, right
I'm not entirely sure I'm looking forward to the Mega Man crossover; I mean, I'm not really a fan of the comics continuity, but that's most assuredly the continuity that'll be used...

I have a feeling it would flounder like the Zelda and Kirby threads, something about the Nintendo franchises don't seem to lend themselves to much community around here for whatever reason.
And before I depart i'll leave you all with a haunting reminder that IT DOES EXIST!
Urgh, such a bad theme, meanwhile i'll lull myself to sleep with this.

SONIC
HE'S GOT AN ATTITUDE
(when I finish my exam on Thursday, I'll see if I can play a bit of Sonic After the Sequel and post some shots in here.)
Have some Sonic Adventure 2 HD Screenshots instead.
The Mega Man Universe is sticking really close with the games, though. Of course the Sonic one took the SatAM universe and made it its own thing. I'm hoping that it turns out nicely. Flynn's doing a decent job with all three comic series, so I don't think it's going to be a disaster at all.
I wonder why, really. The Zelda Community Thread seemed to die around the time SS came out. The FF Community Thread always seems to be ignored in favour of getting into arguments in announcement threads. The SMT Community Thread sorta died too. Even the Resident Evil community thread died and you'd think it'd be used more in the wake of RE6.Nocturnowl said:
Really, the only community threads on gaming side that seem to be ok are the Pokemon and Sonic threads. I imagine the Mega Man thread might be joining this group because people seem to be talking about it and bumping the thread quite a bit. I wonder why that is...
And no, that game doesn't exist. You can't prove to me that it exists. It's a lie.

Having the WORLD'S DUMBEST (and yet most important) DISCUSSION IN THE WORLD helps. Also, this thread is my crack.
i thought the master emerald was your crack..

Ew, no. I have enough IRC chats that I forget about.

I don't think there are enough of us to participate in IRC chats. It's usually the same people and there would probably be a lot of overlap with PokéGAF anyway.
I like this thread because it's fun. Plus I think I started participating in Sonic threads waaaay before I even started participating in the RPG threads as a junior because everyone seemed to get along and everyone at least had a sense of humour. Even with the constant derails.

There was one. I think Spindashing made it. I don't remember the channel name though.

Obviously we need to skip straight to meet-ups. Party at Beef's house.
There is a rather lack of things to discuss lately, but that's because we've already told each other that we dislike each others favorite games and how the everyone likes the classic games. That, and there is no news of any games being worked on.
Hunnid-P is apparently doing something for SEGA or in talks with SEGA for something, but I don't think that's Adventure 3, just probably a music release.

That was me who made it. Spindashing joined it though

Oh maaaan, I wasn't expecting that when I clicked the link. :O
I think they're fine if they don't take themselves too seriously. That's why I prefer the recent string of Sonic games like Unleashed and Colours. Even while the Genesis Sonic games had somewhat serious stuff (which became apparent in Sonic 3 & Knuckles), it's handled in a way that made the story not quite overbearing and made the game (in terms of gameplay, level design, presentation, etc) itself the biggest feature to the player.
Speaking of which, are stories really that important in Sonic games?

Not anymore, they had a chance with the Adventure games, but now it's just better to keep it as they are now. As for successors to the classic series, I would like it more than anything to bring back the silent and serious story they had going on, but Sonic now is to appeal as a softer character than before, so they'd probably never do it.

I don't know what I like more; the fact that I've gotten you all used to expecting Nocturne, or the fact that you guys always click the link. :lol

Some small part of me wanted to believe you're not entirely awful.
Half the time I'm on my phone and I have it so the youtube links embed the video on the page
This time I wasn't though, so I was scared for a second

I'm just not a fan of the SatAM-based universe these days, honestly. I mean, there are aspects of it I like, and it's a fairly solid universe all-around, but it's so far removed from the source material at this point...
I mean, it really started to flounder around the Sonic Adventure era. Oh, hey, SA2 takes place on Earth now, not Mobius? We'll just not acknowledge that oh no wait we'll have this actually rather interesting plot with an alien invasion that confirms Mobius is Earth but won't start calling it Earth because that'd be inconsistent with the previous comic continuity despite the continuing inconsistency with the games okay. Also, Station Square is in a mountain. Not on a mountain - in a mountain. A seaside city, inside a mountain. What.
On the plus side, at least their moon is still whole, AFAIK. (Then again, so is the one in the game continuity, despite half being blown up in the past. I'd love it if they explained that detail at some point.)

The only things I remember about Blinx 2 is what I learned from the store demo kiosk, and that was:
- You do not play as Blinx; instead, you create a custom time cat and enroll in whatever academy Blinx was a part of.
- The game has like a 20 minute, non-skippable tutorial and since this was a store demo kiosk I never passed it.
Edit: Glancing at a Blinx 2 Let's Play on Youtube it looks like the game is also a really bad offender in the "tutorial character tells you the solution to every puzzle and won't shut the fuck up" category.
You just described a game with the phrase "you create a custom time cat". This game must be played by me.
