He looks like Felix the Cat there.
Speaking of ol' Felix...I sort of liked that movie.

Guess the oxygen necklace slipped right by ya, but the actual challenge presented by swimming through the laser grids is just right by my watch, not too difficult and not a cakewalk, though scrambling for air could make things trickier, though personally I might welcome that, drops a nice dose of tension to the proceedings.
If that's the expression of the freshener itself this can only mean sonic has strawberry scented breath.

Oh I got it but you know, I got the ball rolling in a more controversial direction.

Kind of.
So here's a topic of discussion I've been sitting on for a while: Ending themes, and specifically the series' tendency towards slow, melancholy pieces that started back in Sonic 2. Even Mario games lean towards... less upbeat finales, as if to say "we're sorry, but the game's over now." Sonic tends to have a bit more story though, even at its most barebones, so when the musical style shifts in the end, it tends to carry some emotive weight. Stay a while, and listen.
To kick things off, here's two halves of the same coin: Battle's final story credits, and Advance 3's staff roll. One is a fall, while the other is a redemption. Together, they always make me go a bit misty eyed.

We're talking when I first went into Cannon's Core, which I was doing as soon as possible - minimal replay of earlier missions to unlock all the new goodies at that point. So yeah, I wouldn't have the oxygen necklace at that point.

Generations Unleashed update: Jungle Joyride!
Holy shit, the replacement for the Big Chaser is GENIUS!

Wow. They even did the whole level. I remember hearing about the last part being impossible to replicate in generations because of the whole teleporting thing, but they got around it somehow.
Really wish I had a pc boss enough to play this.

All these comic series taking place in the same universe, it's enough to drive one barmy.

The Phantasy Star thread is coming along very nicely! I just have a few more things to write about and then I'll post it today (since it's technically the 20th there already).
Edit: And I know a few of you were following this, so I posted the conclusion to Batman's Dying Dream (my Final Fantasy IV playthrough) -- Part 1 and Part 2. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did writing up the entries!)

Holy shit Jungle Joyride with a solid frame rate.
I think I'm just never going to beat Sonic Unleashed and just wait for all these people to import the levels into Sonic Generations so I do not have to deal with the medal collecting and last bit of Werehog segments. Looking great, however.
I didn't read that part of the comics, but I do recall seeing that page before and just finding it very humorous. I actually thought it was a joke in the comics, but I later found out recently that it was a serious part of it. Yeesh.

Penders on the stupid pills. And he started off so well...
But can it match the splendor of Tikahos?

I've never listened to them back to back. Advance 3's credits theme always could get me every time, but wow.
Sonic Advance 3 remains the only Sonic game I wish had MORE story, if only to connect to Battle more, and make that ending so much better.
Lord almighty, they did the impossible.
Now let's see if they can do the impossible-er...

Still looking forward to when this project's finished, but playing the Dragon Road demo (and even Windmill Isle to an extent) just reaffirmed my personal belief part of Unleashed's issues with the daytime stages was the level design itself is a bit crap. They control a lot better at 60fps and with Generations' engine, definitely, but the constant long stretches and split-second reactions to stage hazards which feel cheap even after I'd (mostly) achievement-grinded the original Unleashed and have most of these stages memorized sort of make me wish the guys behind this project would polish up the level design itself as well.

I went backwards. I wrote about Universe, the spinoffs, and the remakes first. I decided to save Online + 0 for last. I wrote about PS1 first.
Now I'm struggling to find words for Phantasy Star III.

Difficulty-wise, how does it compare to, say, Shining in the Darkness?
You can run around naked in it and nobody will care.
You can use an escape item to escape a dungeon early on and render the game unwinnable.
That's about all I know about the game.
Oh shit, I forgot about the banner with the GAF logo addition, I'm sorry!
When are you putting it up?
Dark Schala
Eloquent Princess
Don't worry about it. It's not really essential, but thank you for doing the banner otherwise!
(You don't have to rush and try to add it is what I'm saying because I'm almost finished up here.)
Phantasy Star might be a little harder. It's been a while, but I remember Shining in the Darkness being rather balanced in comparison.Shadow Hog said:
