Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is here! I felt a bit lukewarm on the road to its launch. Now that it's out... well, look, this review's late, we already know how much everyone's loving the game by now. It kicks ass. It's the successor to Sonic and…

Mirrored from the original post on Thanks Ken Penders. On December 10th, 2018, I was on the last day of a trip to Milwaukee. The night before, I'd attended the wedding of one of my best friends, Jake, who I've known since high school. Even…

This was originally posted to Thanks Ken Penders on Tumblr. The day has finally come. Many, understandably, thought we’d never get here. Maybe we shouldn’t have gotten here. We’ve been through so much. Lawsuits, reboots, redesigns, unreleased NFTs, empty legal threats over the fact that…

This was originally posted to Thanks Ken Penders on Tumblr. The first eight episodes of Sonic Prime are out! I've been busy for obvious reasons this past week (I kinda released a video game), but I've now seen all eight episodes, and as such can…

It’s finally here! IDW Sonic #50! I waited to talk about the Imposter Syndrome miniseries until after #50 dropped, and it turns out #50 has, uh… well, it’s made a big splash. I’m not sure I’ve seen this many people talking about (and/or arguing over)…
