I vaguely remember hearing about the video game seizure incident through a larry Bundy jr video, but I could be wrong (confusing the one I heard about in the video with the one you're discussing).

the one I'm thinking of involved a UK boy playing a game on his NES for too long at a friend's house or something along those lines.


as for cartoons causing seizures, there's the infamous case of the Pokemon porygon episode.

If your account of the events is the right one, then it paints the events in a different color. Still, why would they then need to put a 'hot coffee' label on the cups?
I guess the liability boiled down to the fact McDs served the coffee way hotter than most people would expect due to some possibly faulty customer research without warning:

Side Moral of the story… never put hot liquid in your lap while wearing cotton.

I've actually seen the full porygon episode subbed back in 2013, the lights didn't affect me much, I've also seen Beauty and the Beach which was quite good

yep, and it wasn't a boob job, it was inflatable breasts, the banned pokemon episodes are interesting to look into.

“Amy…is that you?”

My inner fangirl is screaming to the heavens.

Yeah, I’m a Sonamy fan. So what?

That trailer looks really promising. Definitely a lot more going on than the long drawn reveals let on. I was already on board with the more leisure style open gameplay but there seems to be quite a lot of obstacles and even traditional levels thrown in there. But most importantly, it looks like they're finally taking Sonic serious for the first time since Sonic Unleashed. My only hope is that it doesn't turn out to be another half-hearted mess like Unleashed or a complete misdirection like Forces.

Here's the prologue animated short featuring Knuckles for Sonic Frontiers.



The animation here is really good, and shows how bad ass Knuckles is.

I don't understand why they can't just do an animated show like that. Those 6 minutes alone was better than both Sonic films.

So….

I had no idea that Ian Flynn wrote the script for Sonic Frontiers. That explains the Sonamy tease. (Loved that)

But why do the characters sound so…tired and depressed, like they forgot to drink their morning coffee?

Me and the crew of The Fighting Podcast did our usual Epic-Length Deep Dive a ways back, this time into all three 1990s Sonic cartoons - Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic SatAM, and Sonic Underground. All three links are right here inside one handy blog post for your convenience:

I was so f*cking stoned by the end of this sh*t. If you look close you can see me ducking off-camera every couple'a minutes, it's great. Enjoy!
