Ken Penders, What Are You Doing?

When not creating characters for another franchise then taking legal action to take them and cling on to them to death like a suffocated pet hamster, rather than move on and create something new, Mr Penders is making his new comic series, eventually. This whole topic is a mine field, so join us as we discuss this strange as hell history of the Lara-Su Chronicles. We are joined today by the fantastically entertaining David the Lurker from Sonic Retro who has a lot to say on Penders as well as dis...

The Episode When Tom Was In Charge

Jay decided after the last episode that he was fed up of people thinking it was easy to host the show. So he let Tom run this episode on his own. With no Poxxy or Fuad either, Tom really has to step it up. Does he? (no it's a trainwreck)

Frick, it's the SammyClassicSonicFan Interview

Well, we never thought this would happen. We indeed have the meme that took over the Sonic world in 2013 on the show. And I must say, he was a delight to talk to!

Was Sonic 06 Really That Bad?

Here us out first! Is it a great game? No. However it isn't 100% awful surely? Is it really an average game that combined with being the first "next gen" Sonic, and over hyped by the fans, just led to a heightened disappointment? All we know, is that we played it recently and thought, "Oh this isn't all that bad". Maybe we are just mad. There are two very different opinions this episode, we would love to know where you side on this discussion! Also in today's episode we have a Voice Actor themed...

Why do trolls live in comments sections? (w/ SegaSky)

A troll is a supernatural being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore. They are most commonly known to hide under bridges, and since roughly the 2000's have found access to the internet. Today Segasky aka Skyler (best known for our "Top 5 games fans like that are really terrible") joins us to discuss why comments sections seem to always have haters in them. Plus we all bring to the show our own personal favourite hate comment we have received. Plus while Donnie rests from his win last wee...

Is The Community Dying Out? (w/ Sonic Yoda and Roareye Black)

How old are you? Let me just explain that I am 28 and when I was a teenager, the community looked very different. Fansites out the wazoo, "figure heads" of the community. It was a lovely time, forward over a decade later and what do we have? Fansites other than the top tier have died out, forums are barely existent like they use to be. Is that the community has died, due to things like "glory" years of Sonic going and kids now growing up with games like Rise of Lyric, or is just the community do...

Where are the Sonic fangirls?

A silly question maybe to some. We see the fanboys everywhere, but with the recent news that a YouGov poll found more women to be fans of Sonic than men, we were just curious where are they? Is the Sonic community too male focused. How many female Sonic youtubers or podcasters do you see? Why does the female voice seem that bit quieter? Maybe it's because the female audience express their fandom is more artistic less "look at me" ways, maybe it's because this poll was wildly wrong. All we know i...

Sonic Has New Glasses (the s**t episode)

Did you know there was company that makes glasses has released Sonic branded ones? Neither did we. Because it's super boring and dull. It's almost as though we recorded this episode a week ago at the same time at episode 10 because we were on holiday this week. ANYWAY, Tom is confronted with his hateful language, we have a special guest on Defeat Donnie and ask Uncle Poxxy discusses whether we should stick our winkies in our flat mates plushies....
