I took a nap, and had a dream- and while having computer troubles (which included some assorted things like the icon for Warframe being replaced with a close-up of Saryn Prime and being titled 'Element', the hidden icons pop-up being full of white circles with black runes inside them, one of which was just titled 'Detriment'), I saw a screenshot of what was apparently an early build of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and there was this guy on-screen. Apparently, he got removed for being 'too disturbing' or something similar- generally being unsuitable for children.

I'm surprised I had a dream about anything sonic-related at all, given how little I think about the franchise. I like the guy's design, though. I think the ear-things worked like lasers.
