kathy! you left a nice comment on my blog, which renmedid me to come on over and see what you've been up to lately... omg... your work is so incredible, it literally gives me goose bumps! you really set that bar high... which inspires on some days, and has me considering changing professions on others ;)i could study this sweet detailed portrait for hours... amazing! a master's hand at work!

Really? Maybe it's your controller. WereHog? clrtnooled find for me. When I told it to go left, it went left. When I wanted to jump, it jumped. When I wanted to slash, it slash. XDIn? the Day Stages, stop trying to memorize the stage and start trying to build up your reflexes. That's the game. lol I mean, all Sonic games cause you to memorize the stage and then know what to expect. If you didn't, you would ALWAYS lose unless the stage was just too easy and predictable. lol =pFans were asking for shooting in Sonic games. Sonic Team, at the time, didn't think shooting was fitting to the franchise. Their solution was Gamma. He wasn't as fast as Sonic but was still faster than most games. It was still platforming. And you got to blow stuff up. Yes, it may not be Sonic, but it's still fun. And that's why it's not Sonic running around shooting things, it's Gamma.You see, some people aren't fans of Sonic and have ALWAYS seen it as just running through loops getting rings . It sounds boring to a lot of people. Adding other characters gives you many gameplay types. It's like multiple games in one and never gets TOO repetitive. Now all they gotta do is make each character optional like an extra story or something and you got a winner. So no one is forced to play other characters and no one is forced to not play them. =) I mean, I want a Tails and Knuckles experience too without them having to have their own entire game. Those don't usually turn out as good. (especially with them being friends with Sonic making their own games kinda pointless since Sonic's a badass and would save the world before them anyways. XD)
