I like lots of things. I just don't talk about them.

0:53 - Crunchyroll somehow managed to make its ad service even worse than Hulu's

7:48 - New Hyrule Warriors is a prequel to Breath of the Wild. I should probably finish that game...

18:33 - CD Projekt Red lied about microtransactions in Cyberpunk 2077

30:57 - Microsoft announces price and release date for Xbox Series X and S

45:16 - Rare continues to waste everyone's time talking about Everwild while refusing to reveal what the game even is

51:56 - Academy introduces a diversity and inclusivity initiative for Academy Award eligibility that sounds nice but won't actually do anything

1:08:24 - 505 Games proves that it was lying about its inability to offer free next-gen upgrades to existing owners of its game Control

1:10:48 - Ubisoft, a company that for years has protected abusers and sexual predators, lied in the apology it tried to bury under this week's Ubisoft Forward presentation

PRIORITY Q&A

Papadripopolous

You mentioned you were, in a cancelled project, writing a story connecting MGSV to the first Metal Gear. Small question-can you give more information about that, about the project or about your idea itself?

BlueTidalGamer

-For Ian. Since Vanilla's debut in the Sonic series, we've known very little about her other than being Cream's mother and that she raised her to be polite and formal to others via strict teachings. We know nothing about the life she lives and we hardly get to see her do much other than appear in stories to give Cream a personal motivation. My question is, how would you personally approach a character like Vanilla to give her more of a background and something to do in her life?

-For Kyle. What are your personal top 5 favourite soundtracks from any video game?

Andrew D.

Priority Q&A: Did you have any plans for Mr. X after the Mega Man 6 adaptation? In the final issue, we see in a one page summary of the events of Mega Man 6 what seems to be Mr. X getting thrown into a portal.

tKoS

Hey Ian, I had been browsing through the old Q&A threads on the BKC forums via WayBack Machine and found an interesting question where someone asked you about the Power Gems. At the time you had answered that you would be touching upon them in the Encyclopedia. I checked as best as I could my copy of the Sonic Comic Encyclopedia for any entries about them and couldn't find any. I also checked any issues regarding them because I could've sworn it was said somewhere that they were created by Robotnik or were a mineral dug up but found neither.

So what do you think was the deal with the Power Gems? Were they manmade gems or were they something naturally occurring that could be found in the world?

NASB

How would you or another writer have tackled Katella the Huntress? She’s arguably more interesting than Breezie and her story is open-ended to continuation. I think she’s too ‘problematic’ to bring over other than in-name-only, or could that be circumvented successfully for fans?

STANDARD Q&A

Tik Tik

Thanks for clearing up the "two worlds" thing.

Chat Transcript:

Angel Gonzalez​First

Simp Squad​Hello eharmony

addictedtochaos​Hello

addictedtochaos​Guess I shouldn’t mention it is only 65 degrees here.

S.O. BEAST​did she at least have underwear on?

addictedtochaos​It is always the people that should be clothed head to toe that do stuff like that.

addictedtochaos​Now you‘ll have a dream tonight where you are running and forgot your pants.

addictedtochaos​In my experience at least.

S.O. BEAST​some people are just like that i guess,ive never ran across any pantsless women in my time,so i wouldnt know.

addictedtochaos​I’m guessing they do not.

addictedtochaos​Problem with that would be then it would be leaked EVERYWHERE.

S.O. BEAST​i wonder why theres no Galaxy 2 in the 3D all stars game.

matthew wilson​xenoblade aint happening and no one cares about kerby

matthew wilson​/s

matthew wilson​lack of analog camrea controls not being added to mario 64 is disapointing

S.O. BEAST​i wish they would put X on the switch.

addictedtochaos​Sure they didn’t fix the camera in Galaxy either.

matthew wilson​x requires significent retooling, so not worth it

S.O. BEAST​great for the kids

matthew wilson​not for me great for kids

matthew wilson​its 100

matthew wilson​they confermed that

addictedtochaos​Probably fine on carpet like you’d find in an office.

matthew wilson​though cant wait for the crazy youtube videos

addictedtochaos​19.99 at most

matthew wilson​well a basic rc car,is 30

matthew wilson​I have to assume nfc chips

matthew wilson​yup each person has to bring their own car/switch

matthew wilson​I wont be, but most lily will be dropping 700 on a new gpu this month

matthew wilson​likely

addictedtochaos​The limited time thing for that is beyond dumb.

addictedtochaos​Bought 4 copies of 3D All Stars. One for me and giving away the other three.

matthew wilson​again the thing that makes me most disapointed is lack of analog camrea controls for mario 64

matthew wilson​galaxy 2 is a better game fight me

addictedtochaos​Just improved resolution and probably frame rate.

addictedtochaos​Galaxy isn’t bad but the camera is terrible.

addictedtochaos​For the record 3D all stars is still available for preorders. So if you want one get it now and don’t pay scalpers.

matthew wilson​thiss isnt the first time nintendo doing a limited time coletors addition, and than never released it later

matthew wilson​nintendo sure loves the disney vault idea dont they lol

S.O. BEAST​im tired of it to man.

matthew wilson​yes better galaxy 1

addictedtochaos​The NES classic did get a reissue though

matthew wilson​in nintendo's defense on the nes clisic,

The overflow of questions continues into today's all Standard Q&A!

STANDARD Q&A

PC-The-Unicorn

So Ian, in the 30 years later story line, Tails and Mina are together, which was launched off the 25 years later story line I think. Now I haven't read most of the issues before 160 but from what I heard from fans who have, Tails and Mina never really interacted that much and only had one like one moment that could have been taken as romantic. So I'm just wondering, even though the 30 years later storyline is an alterante timeline of the series, is the Tails and Mina romance would have been something you would have tried exploring/fleshing out?

Tik Tik

What exactly IS Lost Hex?

RedScarfUK

When writing the lyrics for Mina's songs, were they written with a tune in mind, and if so, what sort of tunes?

Fan music video by Meelz: https://youtube.com/watch?v=895woEDlTWw

The Shadow Emperor

Ian, if you had gotten around to bringing back Bow Sparrow in the reboot universe, would he have retained his appearance and accent or would he have changed to differentiate him more from Rob o' the Hedge?

Jim J.

Do you think there is more of a chance to see Blaze and Silver team up in a battle or on a mission in the IDW comics than there was in the Archie comics? Their game counterparts are said to work well together, but Blaze and Silver shared few words in the Archie comics.

Big Sonic Fan Patrick

Why were there extreme claims that quote "The World Fell" during the last saga? I feel that it is misleading to claim the "WHOLE WORLD" fell to the Deadly Six since there are bound to be places out there unaffected by what happened. As the comic has shown places like Spiral Village were never affected by the events of Sonic Forces even though 99% of the world had fallen to the Eggman Empire. This suggests there are places that weren't affected by Dr Eggman at all in spite of his claims of ruling 99% of the world.

Akira T.

...I feel that SEGA is relying too much on their Sonic the Hedgehog IP to keep themselves afloat....Would you please mind sharing your thoughts on this matter? Thanks.

MetalSkulkBane

Are wispsons slowly disappearing from the comic (aside for Whisper)
