Description Okay, full disclosure - this is something I came up with at work and thought it was pretty hilarious. There is a good chance that I am the only person who might find this funny, so I apologise in advance. There is a really good chance there will be more, equally dumb, coming down the pipe in the future.

This is closer to a really big personal experiment more than anything else - trying to work on general weaknesses that I otherwise try to avoid in some way:

- colouring
- backgrounds
- also colouring
- "keep it simple, stupid"
- not overloading PS with a tonne of layers
- COLOURING
- bottom-up angles

Yeah. Plus I wanted to work with some whacky expressions. I think those turned out pretty good.

It's now 2am. I should... do that thing called going to bed.

This is actually pretty accurate. Sonic actually didn't give two shits about Tails until chemical plant story wise.

I played Sonic 2 before the first game, so I wasn't able to appreciate how completely unnecessary Tails was when he was added. Looking back on it, while I like the guy, he was kind of a pain. I think I usually played with him "turned off" anyway.

Was fun to keep picking up player one in the third game though, just to be an annoying piece of shit and mess up their jumps and whatnot. Muahaha.

Yeah he was pretty unnecessary, but it was pretty amusing watching him take all the hits and just come back for more. I'm helping, I'm helping I'm h- oh whoops, got hit by [insert dangerous object here].

I have yet to play Sonic 3 with multiplayer, that sounds like devious fun.
