Priority Q&A

AwesomeCakester

Ian, do you write Tangle, Whisper, Starline, Jewel, Mimic, or Rough and Tumble with a specific voice in mind? Any actors in particular you'd like to see voice them if they were to have their own appearance in other Sonic media?

Scruffymatt

Greetings Ian and Kyle, you mysterious seekers of truth and answerers of questions! I imagine that like myself, many video game fans are frustrated that the only crossovers we're getting between Sonic and Mario are the Olympic Games compilations, when what we really want is a platformer with Sonic and Mario teaming up against Eggman and Bowser. The two of you have talked about this idea on the show before, and why it might or might not work. But what if SEGA and Nintendo decided to try going in a different direction? There's the MarioKart series, and there's the Sonic Racing series. Mash them together, and what do you get? ...no seriously, tell me. What do you get? Go nuts, fellas! What do you think a racing game combining Mario and Sonic would be like?

Starline’s Fanboy

Hi Ian, imagining that Dr. Starline existed in the same universe in which Dr. Eggman had the Egg Bosses and he still worked for the doctor, how would be his relationship with the Bosses? Would he be their superior? And would he have a rivalry with Thunderbolt because of her crush for Eggman or an alliance?

BlueTidalGamer

What Spider-Man stories across all forms of Spider-Man media, be it comics, movies, games ect have stuck with you the most?

Digamma

What's the story behind Fragile, the back up story for issue 232? At that point in your run you were pretty much the sole writer outside of some leftover inventory stories (which had been long since exhausted) and Yardley writing some X issues and Babylon Rising, but then lo and behold there's a back up story important to Bunnie and Antoine's arc by a pair of guys who haven't worked on the book beforehand nor since. Come to think of it there was also a buntwan story written by a different pair of writers who were never otherwise involved in the book early in the reboot (though non-you writers were a bit more common by then)

AWF

Is Classic and Modern sonic distinguished as separate timelines, or entirely alternate realities?

AWF

Is Classic and Modern sonic distinguished as separate timelines, or entirely alternate realities? If Classic Sonic is just "Sonic from the past", could any time traveling character, like, say, Silver, go back in time and "exist" in classic media? Is Modern Sonic a result of one of the possible ending of Sonic CD and the time stone shenanigans? I know you're the comic guy and what you say doesn't have any bearing on ...

7:09 PMmatthew wilson​eicho is escort mision the game

7:09 PMofficialMX​I can't stop screenshoting -officialMX

7:14 PMThe Real Bucky​New episode idea: The worst escort missions in games

7:18 PMofficialMX​That happens to the Original XBOX with the thing with turning it off and removing the CD then turning it back on to exit the game.

7:23 PMKageNekoSamax​the game was going to be greater scale but that was scrapped so i can see why the space

7:23 PMThe Real Bucky​It’d have been funny if for one of the colossi (or whatever the plural form of it is) had this like giant swinging nutsack that you had to wack down like a piñata

7:27 PMThe Real Bucky​Wasn’t The Last Guardian delayed for, like, ten years?

7:30 PMThe Real Bucky​Then there are the horses in Red Dead Redemption II. You run over a twig standing upright and you go flying.

7:33 PMaddictedtochaos​Red Dead 2 is really boring.

7:36 PMThe Real Bucky​Open world games might be my favorite genre, but some people think they’re boring. I know it’s because a lot of them are big, empty worlds. What can we do as technology improves to fix the emptiness?

7:47 PMS.O. BEAST​Arthur Morgan

7:54 PMaddictedtochaos​Couldn’t hear it till you mentioned it.

7:55 PMThe Real Bucky​I want truly dynamic AI dialogue. You can type whatever you want in an email in game and the game will react accordingly in a completely non-scripted response.

7:56 PMThe Real Bucky​You probably shouldn’t have had kids.
