Sonic CD (Sega CD) – Special Stages (Minus THAT One)

All seven special stages that earn you Time Stones… including THAT one. A bit of a sampler for the festivities coming up in a couple weeks.

Please ignore the fact that I’m absolutely @$$ at these things when they’re running at peak efficiency via the recent remaster and Sonic Origins, never mind playing the original versions that are jankier than jank.

Greatest Sonic Evar, they say… yeah, we’ll see about that.

Fighting The Future…

So wordpress’s classic editor is being phased out and people are forced to use the block editor. While some people don’t mind the block editor, I prefer the Classic. It fits my needs nicely and doesn’t feel like a convoluted cluster fuck. So for those who feel the same way and have a premium WordPress plan, I had a conversation with a AI assistant that provided assistance in this matter that proved to be helpful. No more fucking blocks. Thanks.

THE BITE Commentary #17 – 20 Years Of A Rebirth

Twenty years ago – June, 6th, 2006… or 06-06-06 as the cool kids called it – I posted the 50th edition of the original Bite commentary series.

It was the first commentary post that I did since the series sort of went on a silent hiatus in 2004. Most of the post was reminiscing about the very first commentary that was posted in 2002 – June 23rd… we’ll wait until next year to post a special on that piece of business next year… assuming we make it that far, of course.

Review #1329 – Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective Volume II (Sega CD)

The game is (once again) afoot, as we return to the days when solving mysteries was elementary and Sherlock Holmes was not played by Brent Spiner.

Truth be told, I almost didn’t bother with this one since it’s more or less the same game as the first one (which you can watch here), but the physical package – even in its beat-up state – made the whole thing worthwhile in my eyes. So yes, you get to suffer through more Peter Farley as Sherlock Holmes and a bunch of actors being snobby for your entertainment.

Not that I minded.

On a slightly unrelated note, this video has become the 6,500th published blog post on this new unified blog thing… which is mind-boggling to say the least. That number is going to continue going upwards as new (old) shit as well as new (new) shit gets added at a snail’s pace. The video front is going to get touched on when the eventual Rip hits in a couple weeks.

Trust me when I say there is more to come. A lot more.
