I honestly have mixed feelings about Dimps, I'm more or less just really bitter at Sonic Advance 2 and Sonic 4. I will never get over the freezing walruses and the special rings...
PS:
It's all about the pudgey pidgey episode.

Well good that you've changed your stance. No one here deserves to suffer the special rings of doom!
YOU SAID IT BROTHA
What cutscene after City Escape? It jumps straight to a boss fight. I mean, I suppose that boss fight opens with a cutscene...Tried the SA2 PC Classic Shoes mod. It crashes on the cutscene after City Escape. Oh well

I believe someone from Sonic Team stated in an interview that Unleashed was in development as Sonic Adventure 3, but they decided it was unique enough of as its own game to deserve a different title. The Japanese title is still Sonic World Adventure, owing to its roots.
I'm sorry they're so long! I got a little carried away when I wrote them up. Before I kept all of the top 3 and honourable mentions in two posts but if I'd kept everything together, it'd probably extend to 3.5 posts. Maybe 4. I didn't check. you only get 24000 characters to your disposal, you know.
Well, yeah, that's kind of the point. It's not that it's the right strategy; it's that you can feasibly do it that's disheartening.
I need to get home so I can post a picture of a shitty Dimps game that I own.
Ohhhhhh... so that's where they're all coming from. I thought it was a gaming side thing I missed cuz I know that real pic January thing is going on too.
I haven't played Lost Levels in ages, it terrifies me, it and some of the later NSMBU challenges are like a cruel reminder that i'm not as good at 2D Mario as i imagine myself to be.
you know it makes sense.

But how could I write about how my #1 game is superior to other games if I don't really have a #1? (Also, a lot of my games would be thrown into "no, that's not a game" argument.)
I'll probably write up a post but I don't really feel like writing this huge writeup right now. I'm... all writeup'd out. Sheesh, I think I wrote a ton of stuff for GAF in December/early-January alone.
Why you gotta reopen old wounds?
That episode was the fucking best. The part where the Pidgey was flying into space and was going to die so that he could fulfil his dream brought a tear to my eye.
SNIVELY!?
That isn't all of the DLC!! I cut some of the honourable mentions in favour of doing the awards portion. 'Sides, I needed to give Falk some props for what he released this year. I was quite impressed with his (and since I was talking more specifically about Sonic Before the Sequel) and the others' work on the 2012 build.
I should add that the album is essentially a doujin album because some of it references regular Sonic BGMs.“We Made a Fangame!” Award: Sonic Before the Sequel 2012 Original Soundtrack (Falk, Lake, Andy Tunstall, Funk Fiction, KgZ)
Runner-Up: Sonic Generations: Unleashed Project White Space BGMs (Falk)
If you’re saying, “Schala, fangames, really?” then first of all, get the heck out of here with that garbage and don’t ever put down fan works that you haven’t even heard or played yet. Second, you’d be surprised with how nicely some of these can be composed, and the fact that some of the samples (or live instruments) these composers use are better than some of the samples that well-known composers use. In fact watch this video where Falk talks about interactive music. So fan composers, when you get the best of the best, truly know what they’re doing.
Sonic Before the Sequel was featured at other SAGE (Sonic Amateur Games Expo) events beforehand, but the 2012 build of the game comes with better graphics, some gameplay/physics improvements, and new music!! Falk decided to take on the music and recruited some other people to lend diversity to the SBtS soundtrack.
Downpour – for Hilltop Heights Act 2 sounds like it could fit right into Sonic CD. Love the dance backing, and the vocal samples. That’s the sort of thing older Sonic soundtracks exhibited and something I’d love to see again. Adding bell samples is a really nice touch. It’s nice to see it grow from Rivulets – For Hilltop Heights Act 1, and then elegantly flows into the piano-driven Prismatic – For Hilltop Heights Act 3.
I’ve said in other threads that I absolutely adore Invisible Realm – For Lost Levels Act 1 because it’s terribly reminiscent of Suikoden for me. And then we get the chiptune-inspired Wood Zone – For Lost Levels Act 2 out of it, and the bass and synth-inspired Fire and Ice – For Lost Levels Act 3 (sounds like something out of the Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast, actually).
Evening Dreamscape pt1 – For Sunset Star Act 1 has lovely bass, percussion and piano work with some synth strings. It’s adorable, and it creates something incredibly soothing and jazzy, worthy of the lounge. Interlude – For Sunset Star Act 2 continues the jazzy trend with a piano and a lead sax. Plunk this right into Sonic Unleashed and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference that it was something original. Finally, synth and synth leads are added Evening Dreamscape pt2 – For Sunset Star Act 2 keeping the soothing atmosphere.
Like, there are other tracks that are so reminiscent of the feel of older Sonic games, especially in terms of sampling like the older games used to do, that I can’t help but to feel nostalgic while listening to it. For example, Metro Madness Act 1, Blue to Darkness – For Fortress Flow Act 3, Chiptunes and Salsa – For Perilous Paradise Act 3, and Titanic Tower Act 1. It’s such a good album and I think people should give it a listen.
But the waffling can end up being cohesive if you're trying to get other people to understand why you like the game, and also what kind of game it is. I don't like half-assing it. :|
SNIVELY!?
The DLC that just keeps on coming, well if asked for, fortunately for your aching fingers I don't really have any need right now for more, i'm still soldiering on.That isn't all of the DLC!! I cut some of the honourable mentions in favour of doing the awards portion. 'Sides, I needed to give Falk some props for what he released this year. I was quite impressed with his (and since I was talking more specifically about Sonic Before the Sequel) and the others' work on the 2012 build.
I just finished off a portion of the DLC because I was politely asked.
Oh yeah, I should post that bit in here since it's Sonic-related, huh?
I should add that the album is essentially a doujin album because some of it references regular Sonic BGMs.
Addendum: I will never fucking understand why Gaming Side shies away from the fan game scene.
Yeah, I get that angle as well, maybe i'm just not feeling some of my output so far, well there's plenty of time to brush it up.
I can now feel the satisfaction returning to my very being, I sort of did it after all.
Well, I think the same could have been said for some of the more recent games's music if you weren't very accustomed to SST's output. Regardless, I'm quite impressed with what they did for the soundtrack overall.
Because SE sent a C/D for the CT games (that CT 3D game... well, I didn't hear a lot of great things about the team developing that, tbh), and Sega sent a C/D for the SoR game.
I just read about that. Apparently it comes from Reddit?
Come on now, that sounds fake as hell.
