Tunes of Tuesday: Alex Day

13 04 2010

Hey all, here you go, a GREAT trio of songs about video games, called ‘Poke’mon, What Happened to You?’ ‘I Hate Mario Kart Wii’ and ‘Sonic Doesn’t Need a Story.’

Enjoy, ingrates. :)

He’s got the songs for sale on itunes, go forth and give him the credit he’s earned.



Sonic 4… but no Sonic Team.

17 02 2010

Alright y’all. I love me some Sonic the Hedgehog, but the good folks over at CNET and destructoid have reported that Sonic 4 will be done, not by Sonic Team, but by Dimps.

Now, admittedly, Dimps made good sonic games, like Sonic Rush and Sonic Advance… but I had really hoped Sonic Team had simply shaped up. Well, it’s way better than another fail game, at least, but part of my nerd heart still doesn’t want to give up on Sonic Team, despite all their failings.

Oh well, either way, at least we have more proof that Sonic 4 will be a good game, and not another boil on my soul like so many Sonic Team games.

Here’s the links, and there’s a snazzy screen shot of the developer info  on Destructoid: CNET Destructoid



Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is Finally Coming

5 02 2010

Been too long, waiting for this game. Too long have I endured since the wonders that were Sonic, Sonic 2 and 3, as well as Sonic and Knuckles. Heck, I’ll even let CD, 3D Blast and Mean Bean Machine slide, and those are PUSHING IT. Since then… well… since then…

For the love of God, and all that is Holy...

And that’s just the GAMES. Let’s not gent into Sonic X, which was the biggest freaking fail since Sonic took the fail train into fail village and shacked up with princess fail at the fail hotel. Even the comics have gone to crap, not to mention Sonic Underground… ugh… I need to go puke…

I know, Jack, that’s how I felt when I played Sonic Heroes, too.

That being said, yesterday we got wind that Project Needlemouse is now, officially, Sonic the Hedgehog 4. It will be a downloadable game that comes in installments, like the Half Life Episode games. It’ll be released on Wii, PS3, and 360, as well as a ‘secret 4th system’ rumored to be the Ipod touch and the Iphone, which aren’t gaming consoles, you morons.

The plot, btw, is following the original, taking place just after the rescue of angel island and the destruction of the Death Egg.

The first chapter is now slated for later this year, expect spontaneous updates from me here, or you can go to more official sources, like SEGA or Wikipedia. -GG



Tunes of Tuesday: Sonic Remix Edition

Yo all, late as usual, but I’m getting better, eh? Cut me some slack and rewind it back.

First up, Gorillaz Feel Good Inc. mashed together with Sandopolis Zone Act 1′s track.

Kudos, murphy341. Also, kudos to him again for the Killers When You Were Young spliced with Lava Reef Act 1.

Know I’m late. Ten minutes from now, Midweek Mashup.
