Sonic and the Secret Rings is a Guilty Pleasure of Mine.

It is not, by any definition, a good game. The Controls are terrible, and the Mission design did not exactly fit what the game was designed to do. The Result is disastrous.

But, I played this game as a kid, and I did enjoy it. It's bad, but it does have this opening, which I could watch a thousand times and not get bored. I liked the Soundtrack.

It's Bad, but there are some things about it that I can't ignore.

If someone were to say that they would rather play "Shadow the Hedgehog" or "Sonic 06" over this, I would completely understand.

I tried writing the story that would eventually become the plot of my pokemon fangame.

To my horror, I realized that I had committed the worst sin a writer can make. My Main Character is a Mary Sue (Or Gary Stue, whichever gender you chose.) It isn't as bad as the new Star Wars Trilogy, because my character is actually forgotten and not exactly liked by everyone. But He/She/Xe/Whatever doesn't have enough character flaws, and looks perfect compared to every other character.

So what should I do? Rewrite the script and write in some character flaws that make sense and flow with the story? Should I rewrite and make the other characters more perfect (It would really screw with my intention of creating "down to earth" characters, though)? Or should I say that the actual default names are Mary Sue and Gary Stue, and make fun of it for the entirety of the game?

I'm going with option 1. 

The Next Star Wars movie should star Darth Darth Binks amassing an Army of Zillo Beasts to massacre all of the Porgs.

Normally, I disapprove of the Act of shipping. Probably because I'm a naturally cynical person who is overly critical of anything and everything. Or maybe it's the MLP and Sonic the Hedgehog Fanart that I accidentally saw on the net. When I see that, I think to myself "Oh. I guess God just gave up."

However, I have two exceptions. Two fictional couples in all of fiction that I ship. And It happens that both are in Pokemon reborn.

The First is the MC, Alice, x Luna. The Physical similarities don't actually matter here. Here, Luna named all of her pokemon after Alice in Wonderland characters. The MC's default name is Alice. A Match made in heaven.

The Second is Fern's face x My Fists. I desperately want this ship to be canon, and I would not mind fanart of It.

But of course, I have a life. I don't dedicate my life to these ships, and sometimes I just forget about them altogether during discussion. 

One of my friends is writing a lemon fanfiction between Alice and Fern.

Please put me out of my misery.

Gotta be honest, Metal Gear Rising 2 looks like it could be a great video game.

So this time, Raiden picks up the High Frequency blade of Olga Gurlukovich to fight. Looks interesting.

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi was disappointing.

First thing I should answer; Is it better than the Force Awakens? The Answer is a Big Fat No. The Force Awakens was bad, I acknowledge that. This, however, took it to new levels.

The Plot seemed like something out of a bad M. Night Shyamalan film, the difference being that the plot twists didn't even try to make the film more interesting.

The Characters were worse than the last film. Snoke was disappointing; He was built up to be this powerful, giant being, but it turns out that he's a suffering old man who doesn't expect it when his apprentice finally kills him. Rey is still as flawless as ever. Finn remains my favorite of the new characters, but they wasted him like they did in the last film. If they were trying to write a romance between him and Rose, then It was worse than the romance in Attack of the Clones. At least that gave us a memorable line about Sand. Here, I don't think it was well developed, and it was a bore to watch.

It dragged on for far too long. I was pretty much waiting for it to end, and was relieved that it ended.

Visually, it looks good. The CGI looks really good, but I could hardly tell that all of the creatures were indeed made with practical effects. I honestly feel as if special effects should not be considered above the writing for the film. This film, however, did not focus enough on the writing and more on the effects. 

How did this get a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes? Are the Critics Drunk?

I give this film a 3 out of 10. Terrible. Worse than the Force Awakens. Worse than All 3 Prequel Trilogy films. Worse than Jar Jar. Worse than Return of the Jedi and Ewoks. Worse than Rogue one. Not necessarily the worst Star Wars film, though. The Clone Wars movie and The Holiday Special still exist.

Maybe my opinion will change with time. Maybe I'll grow to like this movie more. The Empire Strikes Back was initially poorly received, but now it's considered one of the best movies of all time. But, for now, I hate this movie.

I am Obi Wan, and Anakin is Rian Johnson.

I consider myself a proud gamer, because even I had the patience to beat Superman 64.

I beat the game on an actual N64, then I beat the cartridge against a wall.

As we say goodbye to another year, I ask you, people of this site, to share your most memorable moments.

In terms of the entire internet, I think this was a rather forgetful year. Trump isn't as much of a joke as he was last year. The release of the Emoji movie was really one of the only truly memorable things this year. Star Wars: the Last Jedi received positive reviews from critics, but mixed reviews from fans, sort of like the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones when they were released. Maybe Disney is the Actual "Phantom Menace". Other than that, I don't remember anything. Anything else I'm missing?

British People, did something interesting happen in the UK that you guys will never forget for years to come? Australians? Anyone in an English or Spanish Speaking country?

Zelda is one of my favorite video game characters.

I think he's awesome with his green hat and tunic.

I have not yet seen The Last Jedi.

But my guess Is that Leia dies offscreen?

Let's hope that they do the character justice, so that her death has more emotional weight. They didn't quite do that in the last movie.

If War was about getting on the battlefield and shooting everyone with tranquilizers rather than actual bullets, than maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all.

In order to settle conflicts, rather than killing each other, the two armies try to put each other to sleep. No one has to die. No one loses a family member. It would be a rather healthy way of settling conflicts. No mental trauma and nightmares of seeing your comrades bleeding out. No PTSD.
