Can someone explain the fascination to me? "Once-popular game franchise quickly devolves to endless chain of shovelware sequels..." So what? Why do so many people care so damned much?

I just can't figure out why I would want to devote this much of my free time thinking about Sonic the Hedgehog.

Or, as we used to call him in junior high, Sonic the HedgeLAME.

... and Ms. Pacman just _wasn't_ as good.

Oh, I get it.

So is Tails represented by the french fries? Is Knuckles a cherry soda? I'm pretty sure if we went down the menu for Sonic, we could find a correlation for every character in the Sonic series, even the ones that are about the size of an average human mother.

These guys might suck. But the Sonic fandom is one of the most hideous collections of human waste ever to self-assemble on the internet, so ..

You are now imagining a fat shut-in jacking off to fan art of burgers having sex.

All the subtlety of a well-thrown brick, but not the humor.

see there is a famous video game series and a drive-in fast food chain that share the same name

You'd think these guys would have taken some acting classes by now. Isn't this like their job now?

Both Sonics are still around because of fat, autistic manbabies because that's literally the only place they eat. That and pizza rolls. Every Sonic is full of aspies who go home and jerk off to Sonic fan art

5 stars for being the fattiest beardiest thing.

I always think the fat guy is just clown makeup away from being one of ICP.
