I am embarrassed and ashamed of you.

So Sega do what everyone knew they were going to do 2 weeks ago, and anounce that Project Needlemouse was, indeed, Sonic 4. They release a trailer with all of 3 seconds of gameplay, and what do you do? Whine and complain like bitches.

Sega, for the first time in years, stop making Sonic games that by their own admittance, are aimed at children, in favour of a game aimed at the audience that loved the original 16-bit games, and all you do is fucking nitpick.

“Waahhh waaaahh! They’ve used the modern Sonic design! He’s got the homing attack! His running animation isn’t right! They’re reusing badniks and level designs from the previous games! I’m boycotting this! I’m giving up on the franchise forever!!!!!!1111ONEONEONE”

Shut the fuck up! You sound like spoilt fucking children. The average classic fan is in their mid-twenties or over… Act with a little more fucking maturity!

YOU’VE SEEN 3 FUCKING SECONDS OF GAME FOOTAGE OF A GAME THAT DOESN’T COME OUT FOR 6 MONTHS.

No doubt an opinion like mine will be met by some of these so called “classic fans” telling me I’m just not hardcore enough, that I don’t understand, So let me tell you my history regarding the games:

• I played the first game in 1991 at the age of 16.
• I finished the second game so quickly after release on the morning of “Sonic 2′s Day”, that I was interviewed by the TV show “Gamesmaster” about it.
• Every aspect of all the 16 bit titles are ingrained into my brain to such an extent that I can play them almost on automatic… So when a company like Backbone fuck up the emulation of them, making them play ever so slightly differently, I can fucking tell.

…So nobody ever fucking say that I don’t know my fucking Sonic games.

Sure, be a little cynical about the game, but on the other hand show a little optimism, wait until you see more of the game, and then give Sega a little mature feedback instead of chucking your toys out of the pram.

Because the way it stands at the moment, you don’t fucking deserve this game.

As you can see, Mentski.co.uk has had a bit of a redesign. Kind of out of necessity, really, as Google sent me a lovely email telling me that they were going to axe support for FTP uploading on Blogger… And if my site was to continue as a Blogger powered blog, it would need to be hosted on their servers.

So I said “fuck that”, and imported the blog into WordPress.

This, of course, means URLs are in a new format, including the RSS feed, which is now located here.

In a hilarious twist of fate, anyone that relies on the old RSS feed to know when this site is updated won’t even know this post exists, so won’t know to update it… So I guess that means I have even less readers now.

Not that it matters. I mean, I haven’t had anything good to write about in months.

I might as well just embed a video of Betty Boo and shut up now.

You know those posts you end up seeing on other blogs like Kotaku and UK:R, that only have a very very tenuous link with any of the rest of the blog’s regular subject matter, and only really exist to pad out the post count?

Well, look at this EXCELLENT photo, which I took while drinking alone in a pub today! I drink alone in pubs a lot… I have no friends!

In this picture, you can clearly see one of those metal things that cover up the joins of floor coverings at the bottom of doors, this one is called a “Z Section”, GET IT?

A Z SECTION!

Capcom made a game called Section Z in the dim, distant past!

To top it all off, the red suited man in Section Z was CAPTAIN COMMANDO, who later went on to appear in other games, like this!

Well, this post certainly wasn’t a waste of time!
