Who do you think is the most annoying character in video games? Omochao from the various Sonic games? Navi from the Legend of Zelda series? Almost any survivor that you have to rescue from the Dead Rising games? (Special mention goes to that one injured survivor in Dead Rising 2 who refuses to let you carry him. So you have to find a wheelchair and then try to push him through the hordes of hungry zombies, usually tipping him over at the slightest bump. Alternatively you can let him walk, and have to wait ten minutes for him to limp his way from one end of a casino to the other. Either way, screw that guy. :P) Andrew D. I’ve heard the term “The Metal Virus Saga” thrown around for season 2. Is it the official name, and is there an official name for season 1? Also, would you consider the stuff that happens between seasons in the annuals as part of Season 1 or Season 2? STANDARD Q&A PC The Unicorn how did Relic and Knuckles first meet in the new Sonic universe? Did someone accompany her and introduce her to Knuckles, or did she decide to travel to Angel Island unaware that someone lived on Angle Island? Given how Knuckles have bad experience with strangers showing up on his island unannounced, I could see his and Relic first meeting not going well with Knuckles even believing that she have come to steal the Master Emerald like Eggman and Rouge have. DaBigRG -Not to offend you and/or your former art team, but I wanna know who thought Ahklut's Mustard shirt looked good?(I'm sorry, but I remember looking at all of the Egg Bosses sitting together and he stood out for the wrong reason) Nicholas H. How come Sega said that Sonic's Planet ain't called Mobius Anymore? And that non of the like Sonic & Eggman/Robotnik can't have Family Members anymore. Almiron R. -Despite the comic taking place in the Two World canon, you also said that Shadow's backstory is the same, so does that mean that Sonic's world is aware of humans or are aliens to them? James M. Kyle,

Yo, you don't have to think too much about this one, but the design of those infected by the metallic menace that is the Metal Virus looks a tad like the Prelates from the old comic run. Was this a reference of ideas of old, or was it a total coincidence that the heroes were dealing with shiny zombie dudes? ScruffyMatt Today I'm curious about your feelings towards sidequests - do you prefer to prioritise them over the main game objective, or put them off until later, possibly even ignoring them entirely? Also, what are some of your favourite and least favourite sidequests in games? I often get annoyed by some of the Riddler missions in the Arkham games, but it's oh so satisfying when I finally outwit him and lock him up. Andrew D. There is now an alternate zone (whether before the reboot or after) where everyone is gender swapped. You can incorporate characters and elements from either before or after the reboot into this reality (they can coexist, as this is an alternate reality. For example, genderswapped Julie-Su and genderswapped Relic can hang out together on Angel Island with genderswapped Knuckles.). Any ideas of what you would introduce? What would the characters be like? What names might they have, and would there be any personality changes among any of the cast? Would genderswapped Amy be seen as even more of a creep for stalking genderswapped Sonic? Have fun! STANDARD Q&A Liam B. I feel conflicted when reviewing the idea of Antoine being killed. On one hand, my inner-child who is inevitably connected to the series (as it is a cartoon) wants everything to turn out great for these characters; and it’s not unrealistic to say the injury did serve the desired purpose and sometimes people in dire situations DO get better; on the other hand, there’s also a reality to the idea that sometimes, people we know and love are ripped from their lives and our own, and this reality has to be accepted. I know you made the choice to have him live, but, with time having passed, which of these two equally viable options do you feel would have worked better? Clove Pronghorn
