Sonic, more famously known as Sonic The Hedgehog, is one of the best game characters ever created. His very first appearance (and also his most famous) was in the "Sonic The Hedgehog" game released on June 23, 1991 (which happened on this day 25 years ago).


1991

Sonic The Hedgehog, June 23


His first game turned out a huge success which led to "Sonic The Hedgehog 2" - the most successful Sonic game of all times. It sold over 50 million units. Sonic quickly became a recognizable character among game developers, gamers and kids. And speaking of recognizable, another famous character joins Sonic The Hedgehog 2 that year. Care to guess who it is?


1992

That's right! This adorable yellow fox becomes Sonic's closest friend in the Sonic franchise. But wait! There's more! For every famous male character, there's always gotta be a girl who he has to have a crush on (or in this case - the girl has a gigantic crush on the male). That's when Amy Rose comes in. The next game after "Sonic The Hedgehog 2" is no other than Sonic The Hedgehog CD. Famous for introducing two characters that are known even today:
1. Metal Sonic
2. Rosy The Rascal (now known as Amy Rose)

1993

Of course, then comes "Sonic Chaos", where the plot revolves around Dr. Robotnik (now Eggman) wanting world domination using the mystic Chaos Emeralds and it's up to Sonic and Tails to stop him. The game received an 8.25 rating out of 10, making it another one of SEGA's best games.

Have you wondered that if there's a "Sonic The Hedgehog 1" and "Sonic The Hedgehog 2", then there must be a "Sonic The Hedgehog 3"? The short answer is - yes. Unlike "Sonic Chaos", where there weren't any major characters introduced, "Sonic The Hedgehog 3" does just the opposite. It introduces our favourite guardian - Knuckles The Echidna.


1994

Sonic The Hedgehog 3

"Sonic The Hedgehog 3" received so much praise that later the same year SEGA released the first Sonic standalone game (and direct sequal to "Sonic The Hedgehod 3") called "Sonic & Knuckles".

Sonic & Knuckles

Of course the same year the game "Sonic The Hedgehog: Triple Trouble" was released with with main characters Sonic, Tails and Knuckles.

1995


Say? Is it just has this new game suddenly multiplied it's characters? If you've noticed characters other than the trio from the previous game, then you know what I'm about to say next. It's The Chaotix! It's probably the second most famous group after Sonic's team, except... they call themselves detectives (even though they're teens?).

1996


"Sonic Blast" was released in November. Received a 5/10 rating from Rotocopy.

1998


After the success of the 1999 game, SEGA developed a new game called "Sonic Adventure", the first game of the new popular Sonic subseries that lead to its sequals "Sonic Adventure 3", "Sonic Battle", "Sonic Pin Ball Party" and it's biggest successor that's came out 2 years later.


1999


"Sonic The Hedgehog Pocket Adventure" was released on December 20. It received a 10/10 rating from IGN.

2001


"Sonic Adventure 2" is probably one of the most memorable and successful games in the Sonic franchise, mainly for its story arcs. It got a lot more adventures, more fun and most importantly - powerful villains. "Sonic Advenure 2" introduces the the second best character in the Sonic franchise - Shadow The Hedgehog, more recognized as Sonic The Hedgehog's biggest rival. He's probably the only character, who Sonic cannot defeat alone, physically, unless he uses cunningness. The game also introduces other characters like Rogue The Bat and E-123 Omega.

2005

If we can have "Knuckles' Chaotix", then we can have "Shadow The Hedgehog". Thanks to the success of "Sonic Adventure 2", this game exists. Even though the game is the darkest in the Sonic franchise, that doesn't stop it from filling the character's fans with joy. It's the only Shadow-based game so far.

Shadow The Hedgehog - Sonic's biggest rival

2006

"Sonic The Hedgehog", also known as Sonic '06, is probably the Sonic game with the most negative criticism (next to the Sonic Boom games). As much as developers love giving Sonic a human friend, I think Sonic X did a better job at dealing with the problem, than how this game did. Despite the low charts, at least one thing came good out of the game - Silver The Hedgehog. Even though this is his first appearance, he made a remarkably good impression, that helped him show up in later Sonic games.

2008



Unleasheeeeeeeeeeeeed!!!!!!!

Ever wonder what would happen if you mix a hedgehog and a warewolf? - You get a warehog.
It's 2008 and this is the period when some of the best Sonic 3D games came out. If you've been in the franchise for a while, there is no way you could have missed "Sonic Unleashed". True, the game does not include popular rivals like Knuckles, Shadow and Silver, but it still kept its cool. Sonic Unleashed turned out to be one of the most adventurous games of this period, and Sonic's transformation became a trademark of SEGA. If you think Sonic is strong when he's normal, just wait 'till you see him "grow" into something even stronger... but slower :(











                                                                2009


Now that warehog season is over, it's time to move to a new place. In this case, Sonic ends up in a medieval timeline. 

Who he meets there is not Sonic Underground, but is just as shocking as it was for him. In this timeline, all the characters he meets have a striking resemblance to everyone he knew back in his time. We meet many of Sonic's biggest rivals, especially Sir Lancelot (who resembles Shadow, and is the strongest rival in the game). Next we have Sir Gawain (Knuckles), Sir Percival (Blaze), Blacksmith (Tails), Lady of the Lake (Amy Rose), Sir Lamorak (Jet The Hawk) and (of course) Sir Galahad (Silver, who, after this game, became one of SEGA's biggest conspiracy theories).

I'M BACK!

Yo, everyone! Sorry that I've been gone for like... a year I guess. Pretty soon I'll start posting art on DA again. I bet it was pretty lonely here without me. :giggle: Anyway, for those of you, who have been wondering where I've been for all these months, I study Software Engineering at the moment and had a lot of projects (and hard math of course). But it's pretty cool. A few days ago I signed up for this new course for 3D modelling and I hope I do good. I mostly signed up, because I wanted to do something to escape from all that pressure that build up in me and so that I can post some 3D art here on DA. Isn't that great. Can't wait to talk with all my fellow deviants again. :aww:

This is probably the third Marvel movie I've ever watched (the first two being The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2) and here's my opinion.

Like where can I begin? This was probably one of the best movies I've ever watched (both on TV and cinema) and I love it. If you've ever been wondering if there's a movie which stays true to it's origin, then Deadpool it is. And what do I mean by that? Normally, when we say if a movie/tv show "stays true to it's origin", it means that the personality, physical appearance, actions and traits of the main characters must be the same as in the books. The writers, directors and producers made that happen so that's a BIG PLUS from me.
The second most important thing is the acting. When an actor plays a character from a book, he/she must make it look so good as if that character magically came out of the comic and into the film. Ryan Reynolds totally nailed it. I've seen Ryan in other films. I liked them. But as for this one - I love it. It's as if Ryan was born to play Deadpool. He was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Thanks to this movie, Ryan Reynolds became my most favourite actor. And Deadpool - most favourite character. Not that I haven't liked Deadpool before. I did enjoy The Amazing Spider-Man #611 (yes, I'm a comic book reader), where Spider-Man meets Deadpool for the first time and it was hilarious. And if you're a big fan of Spider-Man/Deadpool then watch Ultimate Spider-Man Season 2 Episode 15 (it's the best USM episode so far). If there's ever a crossover movie/show with Deadpool and Spider-Man, it'll become my favourite. Seriously, these two would make such awesome buddies.
Anywho, back to the review. The next best thing that did happen in the movie is the introduction of Colossus (the big metal guy if you're wondering), Negasonic Teenage Warhead (the cool goth girl), Angel Dust (the woman who pounded Colossus) and Ajax (the one guy who gave Deadpool the totally awesome healing factor). Oh, and lets not forget Vanessa Carlysle a.k.a. Deadpool's totally awesome girlfriend a.k.a. Copycat. She did have a big role in the film, but she didn't do much (other that the romantic scenes with Wade). I do hope to see more from her in Deadpool 2, and by "more" I mean to finally see her as Copycat. Still, she became my most favourite female character in the movie, but I think that Angel Dust and NTW's powers are the best.
The plot was also great. The movie kept switching between scenes, mainly to show how Wade became Deadpool and why Deadpool was out to kill Ajax. It focused both on Wade's past and present. Unlike the Amazing Spider-Man, it did not show any scenes from Wade's childhood, but I don't think that's necessary at all.
The villains proved to be quite the enemies for Deadpool. It took three people (Deadpool, Colossus & Negasonic Teenage Warhead) to stop Ajax and Angel Dust. Deadpool was fighting Ajax to both kill him and save Vanessa. Colossus was busy trying to stop Angel Dust, but she proved to be quite the equal to him and knocked the stars out of Colossus a few times. And Negasonic was.... well... busy blowing up the rest of the troops of Ajax and by the looks of it, you could tell she was winning (not that those troops had a chance against her).
And of course, what's a Deadpool movie without lots of humour in it. Some of the scenes proved to be so funny, I laughed during the movie (and I almost never laugh when I'm in a cinema). I even had tears in my eyes. I've never laughed so hard to a movie ever. I recommend this movie to everyone (if you're the appropriate age of course). You won't won't won't regret it.
And here's my rating: :iconloveredplz: :iconloveredplz: :iconloveredplz: :iconloveredplz: :iconloveredplz:

Codename: Kids Next Door

Every kid born in the middle-1990s and watched Cartoon Network knows this show (heck, even people who aren't born in the 90s). KND was a show about kids fighting evil adults who plan on destroying KND. KND is a global organization that unites every kid who'd sacrifice their childhood to fight evil adults. When you were a kid, did you not wish you could've been protected from adults, who tried to bully you? That's what Kids Next Door is about. Plus their weapons are pretty impressive. Like who knew you can make a powerful gun from a carbon milk box or a box from orange juice? Plus the personalities of the characters are also pretty impressive. I've seen many shows and not one of the characters in them match the ones in KND. And there is one thing you will never forget about this show, while watching it - it takes you back in the days you were a child and wished the world could be a special place like the ones in the cartoons. Oh, and did you know the Kids Next Door headquarters is on the Moon? If you've seen the show, I doubt you wouldn't remember.

Freakazoid

I'm not sure if many people can actually remember this show, but it was one of the TOP BEST shows of the 1990s. A teenage kid who, while surfing the Internet, accidentally gets sucked in it and turnes into the superhero Freakazoid. Only recenly this show celebrated its 20th anniversary (that's right Freakazoid turned 20 years old). And see? Even 20 years later, there are still people out there who actually remember this show. And here's another cool fact - Steven Spielberg was the producer of Freakazoid (yes, I'm talking about that Steven Spielberg who produced Jaws, Jurassic Park, Transformers, Poltergeist, ET the Extra-Terrestrial, Indiana Jones, I.E. Artificial Intelligence, War of the Worlds, The Adventures of Tintin, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Tiny Toon Adventures, Super 8, Casper:The Movie and ). In fact, according to sources, Frekazoid was Steven's favourite cartoon. This show has some of the most original superheroes you'll ever see. The things I listed up 'till now are just some of the reasons why this show must return. If you don't believe me, then go and watch an episode. You won't regret it.
