as one brutal year prepares to swap out with the next, i bring you this. this video was a rough one. ive made youtube videos before, but not in years (has it really been that long...??) so the learning curve was a bit of a struggle. regardless, it was a valuable learning experience and i hope how rusty i am doesn't impact how good the video is. in the future, videos will improve, thats a prommy.

this channel focuses on reviewing every sonic game, mainline or otherwise, in order. life, quite famously, does not make things easy for such ventures in any aspect, so any and all support or (kind) criticism is welcomed. love all of youuu mwah mwah etc

see you next game!!
