So due to me completely screwing up my sleep schedule while having a week long vacation last week (gotta stay up til 3 AM man), I only had a couple of hours of sleep today because I couldn’t just wake up at 1PM like I usually do when I don’t have any obligations. So apologies if this week’s Monday Links has terrible writing and/or spelling mistakes. Maybe I’ll mix up the words “then” and “than” again, maybe I’ll accidentally put a Tegra link in the Sega links, maybe I’ll fall asleep on the keyboard anfdsniodfsoNOFDSNOINDVGOIVBDSNJaacnbsadvbiouAUIOFDFNVXZSNFOINIXODNoinboixFDIO NSMDVCPC

Still no news about that Sonic movie? I know it’s not been confirmed yet but with both Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper getting movies I can’t help but feel it’ll be connected to Sonic Boom somehow!
One thing I don’t get though, in the Sonic Boom concept pic, why do Sonic’s spikes look so smooth “like the should be” rather than what we saw in the trailer?
Because it’s concept art. It was probably drawn while they were still working on his Sonic Boom design, so everything in it isn’t necessarily final. For example: Knuckles wears pants in one of the released concept arts.
Did you guys get the link I sent to you guys on facebook and twitter? the one about the console war book and movie?
I didn’t, but I already linked to the story last week: https://www.sonicretro.org/2014/02/monday-links-sage-lives-edition/
