Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

You are just going to LOVE this Sonic 2 Hack:

Sonic 2 XL. Replaces Rings with Onion rings, sonic gets too fat, can't run anymore. Plays on the real Megadrive too.

I haven't heard that tune in over a decade and I still instantly heard it in my head.

[–]RaveRaptor 5 points6 points ago

Guess we should watch it on Netflix?

[–]nova20 6 points7 points ago

HOLY SHIT IT'S ON NETFLIX?

Damnit, I was planning to be productive this afternoon, but it looks like that's not going to happen.

[–]RaveRaptor 0 points1 point ago

Crazy, right? Even have the first one with one of the best VAs ever

[–]WollyGog 4 points5 points ago

Is it bad I preferred the zanier Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog? You know, the one with Scratch and Grounder?

[–]psi0nicgh0St 1 point2 points ago

I thought the guy that did the Voice of Robotnik on that was better than the "better" saturday morning one

[–]WollyGog 0 points1 point ago

Me too! I also didn't like the oh-so serious tone to that Sonic compared to the laid back one. Also the intro theme was fucking quality. I guess it's just me, but I always preferred cartoons that didn't carry that "serious" edge to it; I wanted colour and craziness!

I also didn't like the portrayal that Sonic fucking relied on rings for a speed boost, and that they always made sure to carry a spare one in a backpack.

[–]I_Will_Allow_This 2 points3 points ago

The serious one is pretty shitty IMO, I don't see how people liked it. Adventures was cartoony and funny, and in the serious one Sonic acted the exact same, except now everything is in a dank toxic dump and overflowing with crappy fan characters (Sacre bleu! aiz robot, we are all le doomed!).

[–]WollyGog 0 points1 point ago

You. I like you.

Too many people on the internet community talk about how awesome the serious one was, and I never hear about the Adventures one; although it was out at the same time it somehow gets overlooked. Much more entertaining in my opinion! Fuck it I know what I'll be looking up this weekend.

Fuck everything about that French dog character. Worse than Big the Cat, Rouge, Cream, Silver and Shadow put together.

[–]Ishbizzle 1 point2 points ago

I also preferred the adventure one. I was actually able to relate to it because the only video games I had were Sonic 1 and 2 (Then 3, and Sonic and Knuckles later...), and I was super excited to realize that Scratch and Grounder were incorporated in the video game.

Honestly though, its been so damn long since I've seen the show. The only thing I remember was an episode where Tails was approached and tricked into thinking his family had come back for him... or something to that extent.

[–]Icemasta 1 point2 points ago

I always remember the way he sort of caresses his own ear when he says "these are his happy thoughts." I've never been able to wrap my mind around the purpose of that gesture.
