Road to Disaster
Hello boys and girls! Today I'd like to talk about someone very special to me. That someone is...
Here are some needless yet pretty pictures of our hero in action:
Now, if these pictures don't raise nostalgia in you, then you, quite frankly, suck monkey's balls. No, I don't care if you were more of a SNES person. So was I. Yes, Mario is better. At least, quality wise. And no, Timmy, I don't care if you have a Doctor's note.
These games rocked. Plain and simple.
Now, it's not exactly unknown that Sonic is no longer the great titan of gaming greatness he was in the olden days. In fact, it'd be safe to say he's a bit shit, these days. Having seen some cutscenes online from the latest game, I can only say it was one of the worse things I had ever ever seen.
But that's not the point. The point is, thanks to the PC Sonic Collection, I've been exploring the old games, and this road to disaster started long before that. Long before everything went wrong with the Sega Saturn and the Dreamcast even.
It began, after all those above pictured games... Those fantastic, amazing, colourful, fun, challenging games...
When Sega decided to make THIS:
Now, again, look at those old pictures, and remember how awesome the old games were to play (and get that sense of nostalgia, and if you don't, remember: monkey's balls).
And then look at this:
This was seriously the sequel to the above games. 'Sonic 4' by all but name.
Just LOOK AT IT. I mean, they may have lost the plot these days...but...
Wow.
All I can ask is that we take this time out to thank whatever Gods exist that Mario did NOT fall into THAT pit.
At least HE'S still awesome!

You had predictions for the future? Is this one of those things you haven't told me cause you know I'd give you a funny look then burst out laughing in your face? Cause you should be used to that by now and not hide from it.
Sonic got worse. Sonic got so much worse. Damn you Shadow and damn you the one that I will no longer say the name of cause you just suck soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! Serious amounts of sucking! Seriously!
Apparently theres no comments even though I've posted a comment. I feel ignored =(
It's possible you're forgetting Big the Cat in saying that...
And Boote, the predictions of the future were a blog from waaaay back.
When 2007 was all futuristic and space-aged!
well hello! li your predictions were wildly ridiculous I feel. And um, I believe that sega walked under some ladder while smashing mirrors because lets face it, since thos original master system/mega drive games there hasn't been a single decent thing that happened to sega. Possibly. I know Pete will disagree but thats because he was one of the four people who owned a dreamcast. And I'll disagree because sega rally looked pretty. But other than me and Pete, I'm pretty sure everyone else will agree with me.
And before you begin, just don't go there.
