You know, it's been a few years and with all this talk about Sonic 06 I almost want to go back and play it and Shadow the Hedgehog. Almost. Don't think I'm gonna do that to myself, though.

Yeah, I just played Bastion to completion (good game), am halfway through Dust: An Elysian Tail (also a damn good game), have Braid as my next game (from what I hear, a damn near masterpiece), and have the original Deus Ex and Baldur's Gate II down the line to play. I'm finally getting my gaming mojo coming back after horribly burning out earlier this year. Something tells me that Shadow and Sonic 06 would just burn me right back out.
Edit: And I'm also playing FF VIII on the side. Ain't got time to be playin' shitty games!

Hi.
Merry Christmas.
edit: I just received a phone call informing me that it's not actually Christmas. Well, whatever.

Wow, truly awesome stuff. Got rid of the silly hard rock bit as well which I like. I actually prefer this vocalist, good job Falk.
Saints Row IV. Liking it more than III so far
You're the best, Falk.
SonicGAF's Song of the Day - #86
Christmas Week!
Song: Super Mario Sleigh Ride
Game: Super Mario World
Composer: Koji Kondo / Various
Arrangement: Dale North and Mustin
There are Christmas medleys, there are Mario medleys, and then there's this. The way the two sources aren't just mixed up but layered together is magnificent; you'd think Koji Kondo did all his composition in December while watching snow fall, or that the Christmas classics were all secretly chiptunes. The fact that everything but the sleigh bells is a live performance only adds to the effect.

Just posting this in case any of you missed it. It's $5 right now. I'll definitely be ordering it.

Hmm, pretty decent. It's typical mario stuff, enjoyable without being exemplary. And I've heard that super mario world melody in so many things I'm frankly sick of it lol.
I've had a certain sound effect stuck in my head and I couldn't remember what game it was from. I eventually remembered it, but I thought it would be interesting to see if someone else can figure out what game I'm thinking of just off this description.
The sound effect is something like BWOOP BWOOP BWOOP BWOOP BWOOP.
The only things I could remember is that it's caused by hopping across something and each BWOOP is a higher pitch than the last.
What game am I thinking of? Bonus if you can tell me what situation in the game I'm describing.
I thought about making a thread about this, but I'm not sure if sound effects translate to text well enough to sustain a thread.

First thing that came to mind is some weird noise made by robots in TimeSplitters 2.
Good luck!
The number of BWOOPS totally bwoops.
I fucking love The OneUps, and that medley always manages to put a smile on my face.
Is it Crash Bandicoot hopping on crates over a gap?
You should make a thread where people record themselves making the sound of a sound effect and people have to guess what it is.
Yep.

SonicGAF's Song of the Day - #87
Christmas Week!
Song: White Hare
Game: Jazz Jackrabbit 2 - Holiday Hare '98
Composer: Alexander Brandon
There's no man alive who writes music like mid-90's/early-00's Alexander Brandon, which sadly includes modern day Alexander Brandon, but his body of work from that era is seriously some of my favorite music, and all the more impressive for being done in tracker formats. There's a lot to be said for his synth work in particular, which you can hear in damn near everything he wrote, and this piece's easy groove is no exception.

Was playing Sonic Adventure 2 when this familiar-lookin' purple dude scared the shit outta me in Pumpkin Hill:
I believe he is in every stage hidden somewhere. Well maybe not every but a lot of them.

I'm serious! We went to the Tim Horton's and they're running out of chicken, beef, turkey, soup, timbits, doughnuts, etc.
They have lots of coffee and hot chocolate?

It's gonna rain on Christmas where I am. Should be interesting, as it hasn't happened in forever.
Sonic 2.
Introduction of Super Sonic and Tails, stage variety, Mystic Cave Zone, etc. it may not be the "best", but it's definitely my favorite.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles, for reasons gone over many times here. My second favourite game of all time. And this is despite Sonic 2 being the one that got me into the franchise.
My favorite's also Sonic 2. It's more bearable to replay to me than 3&K (or rather, it's less overwhelming), and has my favorite zone in Chemical Plant. Plus dat music. It might not be Michael Jackson or The Jetzons, but it's damn good.
Favorite non-mainline is a tie between Sonic Battle and All-Stars Racing Transformed. They're both hella sweet, tons of fun.

I'd like to see a top tier fighting developer take a crack at the customizable character angle. Making it balanced would be hard but the whole card system with emerl had the potential for great depth, the problem with battle was making 2d sprites fight in a semi-3d arena. I still enjoyed it, but the lost potential there saddens me. Transformed on the other hand is Kart racing bliss.
