Sonic Day! ... (makes me feel old)
9 years ago
25 years since the original Sonic the Hedgehog game came out! And I look around the internet and see all these people celebrating it who weren't even BORN back then! That's the kind of thing that makes me feel like a grown up squirrel, not in a good way...
I was 14 in July 1991, although I didn't get a Mega Drive until Christmas that year, so I didn't play Sonic immediately - but I've been playing it for 24½ years, I've still got that Mega Drive and the original cartridge, as well as Sonic 2 and 3 and Knuckles, I'm gonna play them all again this weekend! Woooooo! ^.^

FA+

I must admit though that Sonic Boom is an amusing comical series. "Tails Crush" was one good episode.
You may also want to check out this cool channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/levelonerules . It's got SNES and Mega Drive
Still, I hope he and his buddies have a happy anniversary. Also, good videogaming for yourself!
Anyway, be sure to give Sonic and his pals an anniversary hug for me! *hugs*
And hey: you can have Sonic and co in smashbros now.
As well that I collected many issues of the Archie Sonic comics!~ (of which I've drawn much fan-art from)
The most I've played of Sonic, was in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. (and maybe a couple of his games, I had Sonic Advance and I think I had something of Sonic 2/3 & Knuckles for PC, but I barely played that.)
I started with Sonic 2. Little did I know that it would also start me on what has become my overall feelings towards how I like to contribute to our world. This being as "A Helper".
When I played Sonic 2, my friend would always have me play as tails. Since Tails was invincible, I took out the bosses and helped out on the half-pipes to get the Chaos Emeralds. I then continued to get into sidekick / helper characters like Yoshi. Then, of course, you have Isabelle from the most recent "Animal Crossing" and Spike from "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic".
I do quite enjoy being someone who can be relied on for help. And, for me, I can trace it all the way back to when I was about 12 years old and playing Sonic 2 at my friend's house. :)
