Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross sprint through Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

Something about emeralds, something about robots, something about going real fast. There's some measure of debate over what the best Sonic game is, but Sonic 3 and Knuckles is probably the grandest expression of what "Sonic" is all about. We vacilitate for a while before ultimately concluding that the game ain't bad, it just has high highs and low lows.

Note: The sketch at the beginning of this episode is probably one of the funniest, and also most unsettling things we've ever done. Fair warning.
