Priority Q&A

Scruffymatt

Do you know if his plan where the ARK crashes into the Earth was automatically activated by Eggman once he inserted the seventh Chaos Emerald into the Eclipse Cannon? Or was it a failsafe that was triggered when Sonic used the fake Chaos Emerald to destroy the cannon? Did the scene of Sonic wrecking the Eclipse Cannon at the end of Sonic Adventure 2's Hero story even canonically happen...?

AfroLuffyX

I was wondering what type of theme songs from famous Singers and bands would you give to tangle and whisper For Tangle I picked Itsuka Doko ka" by Kuchiroro https://youtu.be/JXEk21qqEdw For Whisper i Picked Island in the Sun by Weezer https://youtu.be/erG5rgNYSdk Now you are free to listen to the songs and give your opinion oh my choices but I’m curious what songs would you pick for them?

Andrew D.

How does the process differ between being the sole writer for the comic and taking a back seat while another writer takes over with your input? How much of the story are you told about, and how does it effect you coming back as sole writer, assuming we’ll see you writing on the book again.

Diane W.

Which season do you think The Simpsons should’ve ended...? And do you think voice actors should be casted based on their talent, regardless of who they are?

Koopaling Krew

Congrats on Tangle and Whisper appearing in Dash and Speed Battle! I was wondering, in the event that the two appear in a mainline Sonic game, or a major spin-off like Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games or Sonic Racing, that will likely mean those two will have voice actors for the first time. So my question is, who do you think should, or be a cool fit to, voice Tangle and Whisper? (and if you had infinite money and sway to pick any voice talent)

Priority Q&A

Scruffymatt

Hi Ian and Kyle, how are you guys doing today?

Ian, when the ArchieSonic comics got rebooted in issue #252, you were given the opportunity to do a lot of new world building and create a number of new freedom fighter characters from various parts of the world... Did you have any plans for stories or characters in this area of the world that will eventually see the light of day in Lost Hedgehog Tales? If not, what do you think you'd come up with if you were asked to pitch a new team of characters from this region?

Alex M.

In the last two Sonic IDW Annuals, why is it that Amy didn't really physically appear but was still featured in the covers? Will she ever actually appear in an Annual or is there just no ideas/interest on a story featuring her? And two, I notice that despite the leadership/tactician role she's been filling, she is a lot less physically active that she was before. Is that because of her role in Forces and is it permanent or will she become more of an active fighter as the comic goes along? Lastly I wanted to thank you for what you said in the last Q&A about Tangle & Whisper and creating them to have more active female characters in the story. I'm glad to hear you want there to be more active female characters. You see i'm a trans woman, and it is very important to me to see more relevant female characters in the stories i'm into. I hope this means there will be even more of a push for female characters in the comic and more female focus in general. Or at least more balance between the male and female characters.

PS. Can you guys say "trans rights!" please?

Diane W.

About your Sonic stories before joining Archie...Ian, why do you always write your Sonic the Hedgehog fan-fictions as grim, dark, and mean-spirited where you portray the characters as hypocritical terrorists, evil generic villains, being jerks to other characters despite their actual dynamic in the official games, GUN as villains, and either brutally killing off characters, or giving them downer endings where they lose everything and everyone that they love, sometimes deciding to take over the world for the sake of world peace? Did you use to have problems as a teenager or do you just like writing dark and gritty stories of a franchise targeted...

Why don't I like Hollow Knight?

0:20 - I bought a new car but not because I wanted to.

1:01:17 - I hanging up Baten Kaitos for good. For real this time.

1:03:27 - Shudder uses an uncropped version of an 80s horror movie poster

1:04:28 - $70 games? Sure, fine. Whatever.

1:08:17 - Curating games for my Sunday stream can be challenging.

Chat Transcript:

matthew wilson​guessing you dislike hallow knight b/c lack of a map

jordan thompson​hey Andrew, I'm having a party of 1 waiting for it to get pitch black so i can watch "the sandlot" with my projectioner on the side of the apartment building.

jordan thompson​I'll save you some chili dip just in case

matthew wilson​better you than make someone else sick

jordan thompson​oh were playing dress up, I didnt know it was this kinda stream, how much for tits???

Nicholas Dickey​Nice haul

matthew wilson​dont you live in a place with mass transit?

addictedtochaos​At least you are saving on gas.

addictedtochaos​Those are probably expensive to replace if it goes bad

matthew wilson​dam

addictedtochaos​No tax on food in WV

matthew wilson​tbf would people be ok with seeing the real price of a car without nogatating

jordan thompson​I hate owning people money, if I can pay in full I will, I dont own a lot or fancy things

matthew wilson​I am a pay in full person too

matthew wilson​there is very much going to be a second wave

addictedtochaos​I stay away from people as much as I can just because I don’t like them.

jordan thompson​70,000,000 is 1% of the world pop. basic math tells us covid is nearly a non issue

matthew wilson​I would say 50-50 on it gets extended tbh. the moment millions lose their houses they will likely cave

matthew wilson​it should be extended til the end of the year

matthew wilson​its give them money or make the blm protests look like a family picnic

addictedtochaos​Best time to see a movie is the middle of the afternoon on a weekday. Mostly if not entirely empty.

jordan thompson​I understand people are gonna die regardless, we can slow it but it's not the plague, people die in terrible ways everyday and no one shuts down society cause of it

Nicholas Dickey​Thanks for the episode of this podcast, see you tomorroow!

On this episode, Kyle's reliance on software from the 90's starts to catch up with him. But hey, at least the music's good!

Priority Q&A

Scruffymatt

Hey there fellas, I hope you're having a good podcast. I was wondering what your favourite Sonic game soundtracks are? I've been listening to the Sonic Generations and Sonic Mania soundtracks recently while I've been working on my achievements, and those two are just *chef’s kiss*

Crooker

What kinds of things would you try to do to differentiate the Chaos Emeralds from the Super Emeralds, in a hypothetical alternate reality where they were still canon?

Chris A.

If Ken Penders didn’t filled the lawsuit against archie comics would the pre reboot sonic still exist and reached to issue 300?

Andrew D.

It has just been revealed that Tangle and Whisper will be coming to Sonic Dash and Sonic Forces: Speed Battle. Are they fully owned by Sega, or is it a joint ownership between them and Sega? And do you think this opens the door to other Sonic characters from the other comics or tv shows? I’d love to see Sticks for example.

Koopaling Krew

What is your reaction to Tangle and Whisper appearing in Sonic mobile games? Does this influence your decisions in how you make new characters for the IDW series?

Diane W.

In the Archie reboot, if there was a mandate that SEGA characters are not allowed to have family members introduced into the comics, a mandate that Penders characters or locations or events cannot be mentioned or named beyond vague references, and a mandate that classic forms of characters can’t be implied to be younger forms of the characters, how were you able to get away with giving Shadow a biological brother in the form of Eclipse the Darkling, making Naugus and Wendy Witchcart brother and sister, retelling the story of how Sally met Nicole in holo-form for the first time, and making Sonic, Tails, and even some of the SatAM cast look like their classic selves when going into flashbacks of their past?

Standard Q&A

Adriana R.

Do you know any character name in Jackal Squad? We the fan know that Infinite is not his real name but we really want to know. Some of the fans have idea of jackal Squad members' name that can be close to it.

Joe W.

Do you have any plans to compile Drogune into a physical book?

Let's try this again.

1:08 - Pokemon DLC and how Nintendo seems loathe to do much to address a problem of its own making.

9:17 - I've been playing Baten Kaitos for 15 years. It's time to throw in the towel.

36:43 - I'm just not feeling the Avengers.

43:05 - The world of Cyberpunk 2077 looks fun to explore but so far the gameplay is leaving me cold.
