"Mr berry"? Or maybe "Ma berry", brought to you by Ma Bird?

influence.png Oh no, he's been indoctrinated! wait, we're not playing the Bioware game anymore I wasn't aware the ZL/ZR buttons existed as early as the Wii! I never owned a classic controller back in the day (who did?), so i figured it was just like the GameCube controller with Z being next to R. T...

Nice of the professor to invite us over for a teatime, eh, Tails?
.

The game's using the word "continent" when it should be using "tectonic plate" and i wonder if there were concerns that kids playing the game wouldn't know what a tectonic plate was.

Curse you, Chip, for making me want chocolate in the middle of the night!

yo CRANK IT

I don't know if this is possible in Snes9x, but i have my BSNES set up to map alt-jump to both A and R2 on my controller and alt-run to both X and L2. If your controller has those buttons, it might have helped to put run on a shoulder button so you could've quickly tapped B to jump without having to...

The orchestral music in the intro combined with the display of medals made me wonder if Sonic was back in the Olympics again so soon! I feel a lot of the music is a little too epic for its own good, like there's something that feels non-Sonic about it. But you know what, it is 2008, so i guess it's ...

I was wondering why Chip gave me Spyro character vibes, and i'm now thinking that it's in his voice acting? He's got sort of that patronising Hunter tone to his voice. Might also be his appearance, a little. It is really nice how the game shows you what time you're going for if you're going for rank...

So this is what the Jet and Secret Rings Dark Sonic voices were an audition for. "Adventure, here we come!" Sometimes i feel that my young child self would've had a great career as a writer for games like this. Half my stories started with the main characters deciding to go off on an adven...

"Oh, i see. The game's going to end with a plucky 'alright, team, time to get Eggman!' the same way it started with the team taking down Eggman as an indicator that Sonic and co have gone back to their usual antics and all's well that ends well." This was FREE. They had this IN THE BAG. An...

"the handle of this door is made of midpoint material" I submit that "midpoint material" is that candy where it's a chalk-like candy stick that gets dipped into coloured sugary paste. Goal points are made of the same thing, just with higher sugar content. edit: Fun Dip is the pro...

Sonic, you fool! You can't defeat the giant spear man underwater!

... Oh. Oh wow. Now i can't unhear it and how pathetic the whole affair is.

secret lore unlocked: VIP cement is Roman concrete

So what's the song that r'rrcow recognised? Is it from Sonic Battle/Advance 3? If i had the know-how, i'd love to make a patch for this game that overhauls all the overworld music to sound non-terrible, but not only would it not be worth it, it would be a slippery slope of me wanting to also change ...

In today's (well, the today of five days past; vacation set me back) episode of Sonic Drowns in Tonic Water, Miranda sends Commander Shepard on a quest to obtain and give Reaper tech to Cerberus, which the player immediately identifies as a spectacularly bad idea but accepts the quest anyway because...

After (a decreased supply of) raocow videos being the only thing not completing my isolation from the internet on my vacation, i have to log in to the talkhaus for just a moment to express my appreciation for this game and playthrough. This game made me cry and i didn't even play it . I just watched...

Thank goodness, a minor spelling flub! Only now do we have free rein to drag the game through the mud.

It's too bad you don't get an option to make Eggman tell Tails to stop telling you to save the game in Sonic's stead.

I would give Omega one more chance if only that he's one more party member with a reliable armour-piercing move in addition to Shadow?

Just watched video 13. Bioware introduces new, high-tech villain group with infinite resources and a "cool" writer's-pet OC that gets away scot-free in cut scenes after you (a long-established hero who's dealt with much worse by this point in the series) defeat them in gameplay. This game ...

Okay, okay, okay. So i fell off of watching Sonic Chronicles, okay, and only got back on because i saw Eggman in a thumbnail as a party member, okay. And you know? Worth it. That man has groove in his battle animations. This whole questionable world is his stage and he knows it. okay. edit: has rawc...

raocow for AtMM: Only the platformers, nothing else. raocow for AtS: *stuck in Osu RPG hell* im sorry for sniping this post off the front page but i dont think raocow is ready for an all the battle networks+star forces even if some of them are pretty ballin' (bn1 is so annoying, i have no idea if i...

Here's the problem: too many toasters!

For a second, i was wondering how you'd get to this Emerald Town place that Little Boy (iconic new Sonic character) mentioned was his home. But then the item-get dialog said Central City instead and "Emerald Town" is apparently an error? Poor Cream has to trade Cheese for Cheezlet when she...

Today was a certified, 100%-organic "cowman has cow moments but then learns from them" kind of day!

seahfob.png Was i too hasty with this one and there were probably better opportunities awaiting? Sure. Do i regret it? No. Re: "why does the game let you be such a butt in dialogue", it reminds me of the morality system in Mass Effect, another Bioware game. As opposed to Star Wars KOTOR w...
