Okay then, since you asked, I'll show you that Sly Cooper/Sonic crossover comic that my one pal on Deviant Art, GameBoySage has been working on. It's called "A Sly Encounter and it's still a work in progress, but she has some stuff done for it. Here's the link to the Deviant Art Folder of the finished parts of "A Sly Encounter." --> http://gameboysage.deviantart.com/gallery/46478105/A-Sly-Encounter And here's a link to the finished Page 1. Links to the other pages are on the descriptions in it. --> http://gameboysage.deviantart.com/art/A-Sly-Encounter-Part-1-354632014 What do you think of it?

The Last of Us Movie
Posted: Jul 26 2014, 04:04 PM Forum Act III: Entertainment Ocean View full topic
Last Of Us wasn't that appealing to me, and I doubt I'd be very interested in a movie about it. It wasn't that awesome or action packed or scary of a Zombie game. I found Zombie games like Resident Evil and Left 4 Dead to be much better, and Resident Evil already has had multiple movies.

Neo Metallix Feb 1 2014, 08:27 PM The first one is the only one I've beat. I got really far into the second one but haven't beat it. I really like the story of the first one, it is well done. Also Clockwerk is an amazing villain. Yes, it has been confirmed that Clockwerk is going to be in the movie. And I do agree that he's plain awesome!" "Perfection has no age. Revenge is the prime ingredient of the Fountain of Youth. I have kept myself alive for hundreds of years on a steady diet of jealousy and hatred, in the hopes that I would one day eclipse your family's thieving reputation!" Also, I thought it would be worth mentioning. A couple of my friends on DeviantArt are working on a Sonic/Sly Cooper Crossover Comic called "A Sly Encounter." If anyone is interested in seeing it, I'll link you guys to it if you want.

Wow, you are someone who works on The Sonic Show? It's a pleasure to see you here now!

Disney buys LucasFilms, Star Wars VII coming.

Recently, Robot Chicken made a skit on Star Wars VII. I thought I'd show it off. BTW, this skit describes my feelings on it too. I don't know whether to be happy or unhappy about this new movie that's coming.

Sonic fansites, the last of a dying breed...
Posted: Jul 23 2014, 01:23 PM Forum Act I: Chit-Chat Hangout View full topic
I noticed the same. Some I used to go on, such as http://www.sonicanime.net and http://www.themysticalforestzone.com and http://www.greenhillzone.co.uk either are hardly are getting any activity anymore, or have become defunct. It makes me sad, I used to love those websites so much, and they helped strengthen my love for the Sonic series even more. Here's some that I think might still be operational, though I'm not entirely certain. Try them out. http://www.sonicstadium.org/ http://www.mgcomics.com/ http://www.sonicretro.org/ http://www.tssznews.com/

Freedom Planet
Posted: Jul 23 2014, 01:14 PM Forum Act II: Video Game Station View full topic
Steam works on my PC, but currently I don't have enough money to afford this game. Hopefully I'll be able to get it soon though. I saw some gameplay footage on some other places, and from the looks of it, it looks totally up my alley, although it also looks very tough, but not frustrating. I think my favorite character would have to be Milla. Milla's playstyle looks similar to Marina's in Mischief Makers, since she mostly grabs and throws stuff at enemies. Plus, she's the cutest of the bunch too.

Well it depends. Sometimes they are rather noobish, but other times they are practically superior to the official game content itself. It all depends on how well that User-Generated stuff is designed.

Hey everyone, I wanted to show this new Indie Game that's finally been finished and released on Steam. I've been waiting so long for it, and now I'm really excited to play it! It's called "Freedom Planet" and it has been in development in a while now, but finally it's now done. You can now buy it on Steam Network, and they're are looking into making it available on other platforms too. Here's the Trailer for it. Also, the official website, where you can see more about its specs, and download a free demo to try out beforehand. http://freedomplanet.galaxytrail.com/ Basically, it's a really awesome 2D Platformer about a group of heroes named Lilac, Carol, and Milla, who must save their planet from the Warlord, Brevon, and his various underlings. The game is an original title, but it takes heavy inspiration from games like Sonic, Gunstar Heroes, Megaman, and Mischief Makers. The levels are just packed, and the boss fights are awesome too. You definitely should check out Freedom Planet!

The Dashcon Tumblr Convention: Aftermath
Posted: Jul 17 2014, 06:53 PM Forum Act I: Chit-Chat Hangout View full topic
Same here, though it would've been funny to see the look on the person's face who found out the Ball Pit had someone's piss in it. To me, I think this must have been like the organized convention equivalent of the "Atara E.T. video game." (yes, that Terri-bad). Let's hope that the Tumblr staff never does something like this again.

The Dashcon Tumblr Convention: Aftermath
Posted: Jul 16 2014, 07:06 PM Forum Act I: Chit-Chat Hangout View full topic
Okay, I didn't actually attend this event (thank god), but however I heard a ton about it recently. I figured most of you should be informed about it too. Well to start, last weekend was the Dashcon. This was the first ever Tumblr convention, and by that, I mean an actual convention held outside the internet, at an actual hotel. It was run by Tumblr's community and some of the representatives of it's multiple fanbases. The Tumblr community thought that this would be one of the best moments in the history of Tumblr, but turns out, it was anything but that. The convention went from bad to worse, with the whole thing all going to hell rather quickly, and it soon became an absolute disaster of a convention. Some of the terrible things that happened at Dashcon are as follows. - The head organizers asked for $17,000 in donations upon arriving at the convention site, because they never made concrete plans with the hotel it was to be held at, and said that they had to pay if they didn't want to be kicked out. - There was a dealer's hall that was completely empty save for a few tables, a bouncy castle, and the infamous ball pit, which was basically an inflatable kiddie pool with plastic balls in it. - The Scheduled performers walked out because the con organizers where unable to pay their appearance fees, thus forcing them to pay out of pocket for their own travel expenses and interrupt their tours. - They did not refund the con goers who paid for tickets to see the performers, but instead just allowed them entry into a raffle and an extra hour in the ballpit as compensation (total cheapskates). - Underage children were allowed into panels at the convention that were about totally not family-friendly stuff, such as sex and erotic content. - Someone pissed in the ball pit during the "Extra Hour" and, what do you know, posted on his own Tumblr about it afterwards. - Last but not least, the hotel reported that they had never asked the con organizers for any money, so the part where they had to raise $17000 is suspected to be a big get-rich-quick scheme. Dashcon has been considered to be the most poorly run convention ever. This was mainly due to the utterly incompetent, and inexperienced, moderators of the convention, and multiple debacles throughout the weekend. Read more about what happened at Dashcon here. --> http://fusion.net/modern_life/story/dashcon-tumblr-convention-ridiculed-poor-planning-862732 I'm sure that by now, there are plenty of other news articles all over the internet about it as well. What's your thoughts and opinions on this? I think this will go down in Tumblr history as one of their darkest days ever, and they'll have to go through a whole lot to recover from this!

Sharizard Jul 12 2014, 09:25 AM It's a terrible Korean transliteration of Scheherazade, the story teller from One Thousand and One Nights. Interesting. Originally I thought it was a pun about the Pok�mon, "Charizard." As for my Username origin, it's the name of the protagonist of the video game, "Silhouette-Mirage," which is an old and obscure, but really awesome video game that I like. That's also a pic of her in my avatar.

New Sailor Moon Reboot
Posted: Jul 10 2014, 05:05 AM Forum Act III: Entertainment Ocean View full topic
Well, it's finally aired. I got to watch the 1st episode. It was very good, and the cuteness and moe' level has been turned up quite a bit, which is good. I love cute and cuddly and moe' things. However, it seemed more serious in atmosphere and vibes than the original did. Usagi is usually such an expressive character, it felt like something was missing. Nonetheless, it wasn't just a "Carbon-Copy" of the original with more refined drawings, but it had its differences. I can't wait to see the next episode.

Mighty No. 9
Posted: Jul 6 2014, 04:20 PM Forum Act II: Video Game Station View full topic
Another big new update on Mighty No. 9. They are now going to make it into both an animated CGI series, as well as a video game! This looks like it will be awesome! Although now that Capcom is up for sale though, I wonder what the future is for this project now. I mean if Nintendo gets the rights to Megaman or something like that from it, perhaps there will be no need for Mighty No. 9 then, and the whole thing will be cancelled. I certainly hope that doesn't happen though.
