It's that time again, for the first, and the (not) last time! It's podcast time! This episode is ostensibly about Sonic the Hedgehog (see title). We spend a while talking about game genres, crowdfunding, and other fun things near the end, which is totally related!
The downloads and show notes, as will become normal form, are below.

(1:15) We get right to it. Sonic the Hedgehog is not a good game.
(1:55) The effects of acceleration on Sonic.
(2:40) To maintain cred with the Sonic fans we espouse the awesomeness of Sonic Adventure 2.
(6:15) Continues, the level skip code, and their effect on the game.
(8:10) The Sonic bait and switch after Zone 2.
(15:00) Old Sega Commercials.
(15:40) Final thoughts on Sonic.
(18:30) Project Green Light and Crowdfunding.
(20:00) Steam
(21:56) We talk about Japanese culture like only two guys who get most of their knowledge about Japanese culture from anime and videogames can. Also why First Person Shooters suck.
(24:40) And Why RPGs are awesome.
(25:57) Video Games are…. Fantasies?
(26:30) What makes a genre?
(27:55) The “Are games art?” thing. Because we haven’t been sufficiently pretentious the episode.
(30:00) We talk about Doctor Who for a bit. This episode was about Sonic Screwdrivers or something right?
Next Week, Harvest Moon for the Super Nintendo. We’ll see if we manage to talk about it instead of everything else.
