Sonic CD is a bit of an oddball as far as the early main-series Sonic titles go. It had a lot of different ideas that were not really explored again and Yuji Naka had very little involvement with the game at all. With a much greater emphasis on exploration as opposed to speed, it doesn’t quite fit in with the other games in the series, yet it is definitely Sonic.
The soundtrack of this game is well-known because they changed it for the US release. Both soundtracks have their merits, but …

Insert-Disc is not a cooking blog nor will it ever be. However, we can always take a break from our regularly scheduled programming in order to contribute to something important in the blogosphere. Learning to cook is a fundamental aspect of the #otakumanup process. True men should be able to satisfy their hunger and serve food to others without the help of little girls. While becoming a gourmand as if a character in Oishinbo is not necessary, everyone should be able to at least prepare a few dishes.

I don’t remember how good this episode was, I spent about 30 minutes making the opening because I have too much time to spend on awesomely stupid things. I think we talked about a lot of interesting news including the big Infinity Ward blowout, Portal 2, and other stuff. The important thing is we have a cool opening this week.

To commemorate Roger Corman getting a lifetime achievement Oscar-thing–because they give those out for quantity rather than quality now–we are watching Attack of the Crab Monsters, one of his earlier works.

MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR HEAVY RAIN, IF YOU’RE STUPID ENOUGH TO READ THIS, DO NOT WHINE ABOUT SPOILERS.

Let me say this first, I love Heavy Rain. I thought it was a great game and a lot of the story was good. It also had tons of problems though, mostly with the story, especially after a certain point. The gameplay and premise are solid, but there are a lot of problems, some of which are just pathetic. There be spoilers below, so don’t read it if you haven’t beaten the game.

The amazing and gripping tale of Evan’s journey into the Sonic series. He describes in too much detail how he started out as a bitter man and then eventually opens up to the blue blur. Truly a modern classic.

This is a magazine focusing on retro and indie games. I’ve already written a few articles and have several more planned out covering classics such as the Mario Land series and Bonk’s Adventure. But also more odd games such as Wrath of the Black Manta. I mentioned indie games, but I am not referring to the artsy games that everyone keeps talking about. I am referring to independent games that feel like retro gaming- such as my article highlighting various doujin shooters.

IMPORTANT NOTE: OUR HOSTING KINDA DISAPPEARED SO THE OLD EPISODES ARE UNAVAILABLE AT PRESENT.
Here we go, episode 45 is here. This week we had a SERIOUS EPISODE with ACTUAL CONTENT. We discussed the Nintendo Media Summit, a whiny guy on YouTube, and other news. Patz and Kyle also discussed Heavy Rain for a while. So listen up.

I went into Animal Yokochou Doki ? Doki Kyuushutsu Daisakuen! no Maki completely in the dark. I knew that it was a licensed game based off of an anime, but I had never watched it. What I did know is that the series has something to do with little girls and anthropomorphic plush animals- sounds relevant to my interests. I had no idea what the game would like either, and was mostly expecting some kind of minigame compilation or sim-type game. What I got was a surprisingly enjoyable platformer.
