Great! Someone left a big bag of assorted sweets lying around in the stockroom and since no one else was there I helped myself!
Ah we work hard and we play hard! =)

to top it off, some joker left chocolates in my pay slip, well I didn't find it so funny, I found it to be DELICIOUS!

Heh I just hope that bag of sweets is still left there untouched tomorrow (seriosly big bag of sweets in the open and nobody bothered to care), I also hope there wasn't anything wrong with those sweets which to why nobody else was taking them, AND I TOTALLY PRAY TO GOD I WASN'T CAUGHT ON CAMERA, BECAUSE I WASN'T EXACTLY SLY RACOON DOING THIS!? =0

Mmm, nice guys finish last, and have to pay for their sweets like a chump! ha-ha!

I've managed to Pin point the exact Date of when Sonic's career went downhill!
This was all in the matter of when the Sega Dreamcast went bankrupt!

When Sega went down, they dragged Sonic Team down with them!
Sonic Adventure 2 was set to be Sonic's greatest video game ever made, they spent So long working on it to perfection, making so many deals with record companies and soap shoes and stuff, working hard to make this the greatest ever Sonic game!

They thought their efforts would be greatly paid off, but unfortunatly they couldn't have released the game at a worse time!
Because it was at that VERY TIME that the Sega Dreamcast was dying out! That means even though they worked so hard on the game, it could only appeal to a certain number of audiences, die hard Sega fans! No one else would be willing to play in it, or invest in a clearly dying console, this really put Sonic Team back because they could have really made a lot of money out of the game, if only more people would have been more interested in it!
Its simply a matter of good gaming, bad timing because if they hadn't bothered to make Sonic Shuffle and went straight to work on Sonic Adventure 2 after the previous one was finished, they might have had more of a chance to appeal to a bigger audience, despite how wrong it is to rush a games development!
Same deal with Conkers bad fur day really, the best game on the n64, took so long to make the n64 died out before it was released!

But back to my point, Because of this loss of finance, Sonic Team has been struggling to meet ends meet every game afterwards, even re-releasing the game for the Nintendo Gamecube wasn't enough because when Sega moved to Nintendo, again it was a bad market as Nintendo fans didn't want Sonic on their territory, and Sonic fans wern't willing to purchase the same game twice, just to support Sonic Team!

This is the very reason every Sonic game after Sonic Adventure 2 has become minorly successful and also the very reason as to the loss of the popular voice cast to the very unpopular 4kids talent agency!
But I've explained this many times before in the past that the reason for the voice over change was because of budget cuts! Sonic Team had some of the most highly recognised and talented actors in the VO business, they wouldn't replace them merely to appeal to a small majority of Sonic X fans, that fan base doesn't overwhelm the profits made from the games and never did!

Anyway putting that aside, this is the reason to all of Sonic Teams past failures and the reason Sonic is now selling himself out to be whored freely by Nintendo!
Sega's failure dragged Sonic Team with them, despite the fact they are both separate departments!

I'm putting all my projects on hold for a long while (this includes Sonic and Jesse's high speed adventure) while I work on my new horror game, DEADLINE, but I'm also working on something new, I came up with this idea at work this afternoon but I'm making my own episode of Sonic X, entirely original and its going to be in both ENGLISH AND JAPANESE!
Since knowing that both the English and Japanese versions of sonic X are entirely different (plus I've been watching a lot of Japanese episodes lately)
I got bored at work and came up with my own idea to create a Japanese episode, I then decided to translate that into English and make both versions separate as an option!

I'm recording both versions intro's, outro's and music so when the episode is complete you'll be able to select which version you prefer to see (original Japanese version or English dub) and all the episodes music, intro and ending will be entirely different, not to mention the voice acting of course but you can expect I'll be taking all of that on myself!

Ok as the episode goes as I'm sure you'll all very anxious to know about it!
Dr. Eggman has created a giant mecha called EGG-SOUNDBOOM (egg- shockwave in the English version)
Which is a giant robot that creates seriously loud sound waves that cause the residents of station square to become hypnotised by its screeching waves!
Meanwhile the Thorndyke residents are throwing a party to celebrate all of Sonic and friends hard work, Sonic is bored of the party and goes to the highway to race Sam Speed!
When he is the first to notice the giant mecha approaching the city it sends out a screeching wave So aggressive to Sonic's ears that he is forced to run away from it instead of fighting!
Eggman then sends the robot to central Station Square where it causes a citywide panic as its loud screeches send the residents into a riot!
Sonic's then second attempt to confront the robot end again unsuccessful as he cannot bear the pressure putting into his ears!
The shockwaves beckoning from the robot become hypnotising to all that hear it and soon most of the civilians in the area, including Sonic have become brainwashed into worshiping Dr. Eggman!
This makes Eggman very pleased because not only is his plan to dominate Station Square working but he's even made his arch nemesis, Sonic his most loyal and obedient slave!

Knuckles notices the commotion from far away and goes downtown to investigate but when he see's all the residents mindlessly obeying the giant mecha making horrendous noise, he assumes its trouble and goes to stop it!
That's when Sonic and a the other residents all turn on knuckles and force him to obey the hypnotising chants!
When the Thorndyke residents hear of the commotion on the news they all go in the X-cyclone to help but when they see what has happened they try to pull knuckles away from the hypnosis and get away quickly as the civilians have formed a dangerous cult worshipping Eggman!
It is at this time that Eggman himself comes down to the resident in a glass dome to ensure he is praised as their leader!

G.U.N try to take down the giant mecha as orders by the government but it is at this time that over 50% of the residents of station square have already become mindless to Eggman's transits, including Sonic who proves effortless in driving the G.U.N. force away!

It is at this time, the President is evacuated as Eggman has targeted his new followers to capture and foil his escape!
As a last hope, Rouge and Topaz fly to the Space Colony Ark in hopes that Shadow will help them fight this large-scale threat to civilisation!
He reluctantly agrees to help and they all travel back to earth in hopes that it's not to late!

Now it's a final showdown as Shadow is forced to Fight a brainwashed Sonic and defeat the giant mecha in order to restore peace to the town!

I won't spoil the ending but you should note that as this is going to be made in both English and Japanese, the scripts will be slightly different as well as the ending and opening credits which I have recorded myself using actual footage! And Yes, I promise you the Sonic Rap Song, don't worry!

Well I'm working on the scripts as we speak, but don't expect to see this complete for a LONG time as I work on my newest game, DEADLINE, you'll love it! It's gonna rock!

Until then keep checking the blogs for updates!

I'm So relived I can do everything by mouse, unlike the keyboard terror that is Grand Theft Auto! (Damn every single freaking key is an essential button, where does it end?)

Anyway I was Pissed off and about to give up after I spent 3 reluctant hours building a single character to total perfection, only for the game to Crash after my Bastard Best Friend MSN'd me in the middle of a save!

Well I sucked it in and started over to live the life of my new family, The Fairbairn's!
Its the life about a Single mom called Sophia Fairbairn, always cheerful and perky, yet struggling to manage her busy career and singe handedly raise her two teenage emo sons, Andrew and Oliver!

This may all seem like Desperate Housewives to you but here's the twist, Their on the run from their criminal dad who escaped from prison so their being placed in a quiet suburban town as witness protection, they all live in a small apartment and know absolutely no-one on town, but are already having trouble fitting in with the snobby and rich residents of the suburban neighbourhood!

Sophia's struggling to keep up with the rent and keep up with her work while raising her two emo sons, she's been a clean and upstanding woman all her life but the stress of a modelling career is beginning to drive her to a secret drug habit that even her two sons don't know about!

Andrew (the older child) is having a hard time fitting in with all the jocks and preppy's of suburban high school, the girls all think he's a sweetheart, adorable and total dreamboat but the jocks all don't take kindly to ''skinny dudes in makeup'' and are determined to Give him a hard time!

Oliver (the younger child) on the other hand isn't as sociable and easy going as his older brother but is more secretive of his style of life and his depression doesn't lie within the fashion of his lifestyle either, oh no!
He's become so lonely without his father (having being behind bars most of his life) that he's now become suicidal over the years , but even Sophia and Andrew can't keep their eyes on him 24 hours a day!?

WOW all this and I've only been playing the Sims 2 (pc version, not console) for less than a few hours, guess you all know where I'm gonna be when I'm not on MySpace folks, lol No seriously, I hope it all works out for my new Laptop family!

Lets Give it up for the Fairbairn's

Roxas decides to start working part time as Dr. Eggman's personal Assistant. (kinda a Mr. Burns/Smithers thing) Thinkin' 'ol Eggman would be loaded it would be generally easy work, seeing as how Eggman gets robots to do all his bidding anyway, but he was far from wrong!...
Not only was working for Eggman hard work but his demands were beyond bizarre and unethical! (Not to mention Eggman treating Roxas like dirt)

First day on the job, Eggman instructed Roxas to construct him a petting zoo of robot penguins, despite the fact Roxas has absolutely no engineering background whatsoever!

30 minutes into the job and Roxas was going insane from Dr.Eggman harsh taunts and crazy chores!
Axel (who was currently watching over Roxas at the time) really couldn't stand the way Eggman was treating him so he decided to step in and do something about it!

Of course hot-headed Axel wasn't scared to stand up to Dr. Eggman but Roxas Begged him to back down as he Really needed this job!
Eggman simply taunted Axel for being a coward and a 'NOBODY' (no one special), but Axel just forced himself to suck it up and trust Roxas motives.
At the end of the day, Eggman handed Roxas a cheque for $10,000 for 1 days work and told him to go die his hair ginger for tomorrows task!
Axel Really didn't approve of Roxas selling himself out like that but seeing the Glimmer of happiness in Roxas eyes when he held that cheque, Axel decided to trust Roxas's own personal judgement and not interfere!

Though come the next day Roxas was starting to wish he DID!, because not only had Eggman set up a circus performance and was using poor, exhausted Roxas as his Main Attraction but also covered him in Fleas and 'Piñata love sweets' (makes piñatas horney for him) then launched him out of a Cannon!!!

Days went past like weeks as everyday Roxas would come home battered, bruised and exhausted but still happy with the large amount of money he was earning.
But Axel still didn't approve and was beginning to lose Respect for Him more and more everyday as deep down, he hated the idea of Roxas selling himself out for money!
At first Roxas was too distracted to even notice Axel's depression but when he eventually began to notice Axel's constant grumpiness they began to fight, thus leading to the two of them falling out over Roxas's new job!

The next day at work, Eggman gave Roxas $20,000 and told him to go out and buy expensive hiking gear.
Mistakenly thinking it was a camping trip, Roxas brought the wrong gear as Eggman later told him they were off to Egypt to find the long lost 'Gemerald' of the Black Arms!

Seeing the Cruel, Evil Dictator Eggman was known for, he forced Roxas to make his own way there while he and his two Robot henchmen, Scratch and Grounder got to enjoy the luxury of Eggman's Jeep Hover vehicle.
Roxas was forced to travel across the rough, scorching deserts with his hiking gear and camping equipment, removing his boots and walking across the sandy desert in his knee high socks from exhaustion.
When Roxas finally reached the temple, Eggman forced him to use his hammer and chisel to break the seal of the Gemerald.
That's when Eggman realised he made a vital mistake as it turned out the temple was actually a long lost Tediz war bunker and removing the Gemstone unleashed the curse of the long dead Panther King!

Eggman and his two henchmen, Scratch and Grounder made a break for it, leaving Roxas behind, trapped in the crumbling temple.
That's when Axel appeared in a Jeep (which he stole from Eggman), grabbing Roxas arm and pulled him to safety, leaving Eggman and his robots stranded out in the desert!

Roxas gave Axel a Great Big Hug and apologised for putting his work before his friendship which he now valued more.
Axel just chuckled, roughed up Roxas's hair and said "Just don't do it again short-stuff!" Then grinned as he looked in the mirror to see Eggman in the distant horizon stomping aggressively on his hat for slapstick comic effect and violently shaking his robots around like toys!

I was Watching the Sonic movie the other day and it just hit me, y'know THEIR version of Sonic (the japanese version) is a lot like Astro Boy, instead of Sonic living on a planet filled with talking animals and an evil tyrrant called Dr. Robotnik who wants to rule over them with 'taxes' and 'his way of order' (im just thinkin SATam) the japanese version say that Sonic IS actually from Planet Earth, only its in the future where animals live civiliantly with humans, (that would primarily explain why Eggmans the only main Human in the Sonic genre)

But we never really gave this version a try, experienced it long enough, we all blindly followed the Americans version of that 'Sonic is from Planet Mobious' and lives in a small woodland villaige with Princess Sally Acorn when REALLY, Sonic's japanese, no matter what they all say, Sonic's still a japanese creation, I just find it hard to play the old genisis Sonic games, trying to picturise the green hill zone as a part of earth in the year 3000!

What im getting at is, because Sonic's span SO far away from its roots, people tend to easily forget what its really about!
I know the Sonic movie was crap but they had somethin there - ignore the crappy voice acting and the cheap lazy animation and you get what Sonics REALLY about!
The adventures of Sonic, tails, Knuckles & Eggman! (in futuristic Astro boy type scenery) - NO ONE ELSE! -NO ONE ELSE!!!-

(Damn and after I said that they just released another freakin character for Sonic Rush Adventure!) - Sonic team are reading this and mocking me! >:(

I finally found Professor Gerald Robotnik's long lost Diary today and was totally shocked by what it said! These are the exact words, No Misprint whatsoever:

20xx-OO-08

How could you possibly believe someone would though ME into
Jail?!
Union Army Prison? Oh, hell.
I am the father of the pseudo perpetual mobile "Chaos Drive" for
Christ's Sakes.
Could this possibly be the sinister conspiracy of those
attempting to acquire and take over "Eclipse Cannon" and
"Artificial Chaos"?
Then I'll show them that I am not going to succumb to such
Immorality. For the complete picture of the ultimate biosis
development project "Shadow! lies only in my mind...

20xx-OO-13

I got this from Sonic X ep.33, I freeze framed the scene where Eggman hacks into the G.U.N. database and discovers that Planet Earth is the 'Echo Universe' to Planet Mobious!

I've been playing Next-Gen Sonic games recently and its just hit me?
Whatever happened to Sonic and Tails?
Seriously, Sonic's changed So much lately he's span too far away from what the franchise used to be about!
They keep bringing out all these new characters, Silver the Hedgehog, Princess Elise, Sahara, Chris Thorndyke, they aren't gonna mean anything come next generation!
Seriously Sonic needs to step back in time to when his games really meant something 'cus its turning into a joke now!
Whatever happened to a time when it was just Sonic, Tails and Knuckles? Sonic vs Eggman? (Do we even need Shadow?) ...(Nah I was just kidding about Shadow)
But I mean, what's with Sonic going solo with all these new random characters all the time for?
Sonic and Sahara? Sonic and Princess Elise? And whys Sonic spending SO much time with Christopher Thorndyke for!?! Heck, reject your friends why dont'cha!
There was only like ONE SINGLE EPISODE in the entire 78 episode series of Sonic X where Sonic actually spent some quality time with Tails and that was Ep. 34, even when Sonic and the gang all got to go back to their own Planet that spoilt kid had to follow!
Man, if I was Tails I would be so envious at Chris, "GIVE ME MY FRIEND BACK!! Just because we visited your world means you can keep Sonic all to yourself!? I don't think so!"

Ok so not all new Sonic characters are so bad, we had a few good runs with Blaze the Cat, Black Doom and even Mephilis (despite the fact his voice is less creepier than shadows himself) and yeah characters like Cream the Rabbit and E123 Omega managed to establish themselves, but man, enough is enough!
Why can't we go back to the good days like Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes or even Sonic R had just about enough going for it!
I mean, last time I checked Sonic was about fast, talking animals who battled hard to stop a mad scientist from trying to enslave them into robots and dominate their planet! (Though in the Japanese version, Sonic is from Earth all along, just a magical hidden far away land called Christmas Island where all the animals could talk, P.S. that would explain why Eggman's still human!)

Its really no wonder so many people hate Sonic when in comparison with Mario, no one knows what its about anymore!
If they all took the time to play Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic CD, Sonic Adventure 2, or at least the Sonic Advance games then they would all see why he was so well loved in the first place, but why should they?
Why can't Sonic Team keep making great games like that!?
Its no wonder Sonic's failing so badly, they've become so far up their own ass they now only seem to make the games how they want it, not how its dedicated fans see it!
Remember how you all first felt when Sonic Next-Gen was first announced?
Day to Night cycle? Upgradeable abilities? A more established Super Sonic? Sonic actually being fast?
Now remember how you then felt when you played the final game!
Ooh, That's a sharp kick in the nuts for ya, huh?

Now I'm not saying that this all down to the voice actors at 4kids, I happen to know a few of them and I really wish people would stop pushing all the blame towards them.
I know the Japanese cast were a lot more fortunate than the American team but in the VO business you need to learn, nothing can always go the way you see it, actors eventually die or quit, it happens!
Budget cuts were the main reason Sonic Team had to drop all their previous actors, it had nothing to do with the popularity of Sonic X, Do you think they would drop such talented actors just to impress such a small majority of new Sonic fans?
No, they hired up 4kids because they couldn't afford to keep the older actors.
See in the gaming business, if your games don't sell, you have to make budget cuts or you cant afford to keep the genre going, you lose out, live and learn, its all about appeal, your games don't appeal to the crowd, no one will be interested, your games wont make you enough money, your in dept to the companies you loaned from, BANG, your big dream is finished!

But back to my topic, people should really stop telling Jason Griffith that Ryan Drummond had more talent or Mike Pollock that Deem Bristow had more enthusiasm, ITS NOT ABOUT THEM! Have you ever watched the Sonic Movie? - Now THAT was bad voice acting!
The games are bad because they're always aiming towards empty promises and places that just don't work for Sonic!
Do you all even know what Sonic means?
It means faster than the speed of sound, that's what Sonic is! But how can Sonic be expected to run so fast with all these shattered obstacles surrounding him like broken glass?
Do any of you even know why Sonics blue and white?
Its because of Sega's logo, he's Sega's mascot, rival to Mario, Nintendo's mascot, and its high time he started acting like it!
If I was running Sonic Team, I'd be doing things differently, I wouldn't let this happen, I'd MAKE SURE Sonic stays on track! I'd make sure to listen to what the fans want and not what my balls want when I'm sitting on the toilet! >:(

Now a lot of friends in and out of MySpace keep suggesting that I should be running Sonic Team (smug, lol) but the fact is, why should I? Why shouldn't they be able to run their own company?
I have my own franchise, I have Katherine and Hippoloid, they're the ones who have Sonic, they should be keeping him on track!
Yuji Naka should give up his stupid hopes for his 'PROPE' company and get back to Sonic Team and straighten his boys all back into shape!
If he doesn't, or if they can't sort themselves out, you know what will become of Sonic, don't you!
