From The Old Floppies: Issue #02: Review of Sonic SatAM Episode "Cry Of The Wolf"

Much of what I said when I posted the previous review in this series is true of this entry as well.

These two posts were part of three I wrote for the Sonic Tenth Anniversary thing I mentioned last time.  I don't think I'm going to be able to post the third one of these I've got because everything I've got that I thought might have been able to open it with says it's either not compatible with the file type or that the file is corrupted.  The worst part of that is that it's actually the first of the three in the miniseries and would have explained a few things that happened in the "Sonic Conversion" review and this one.

But even if I can't post all three of these, there's still plenty of other old stuff I'll try to get posted here as soon as I can, almost certainly interspersed with Text Play issues and other items.

In the meantime, grab up some goodies and get ready for more unintentional laughs for all the wrong reasons that I know I've only brought upon myself.  We've got Retro Review Sign!

From The Old Floppies: Issue #01: Review of Sonic SatAM Episode "Sonic Conversion"

There's gonna be a bit more before the jump here, folks, but there's a good reason for that.  I kind of need to explain this before I get into the actual post.

As some of you might know, I'm something of a fan of SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, especially the cartoon series, though my opinions on each of the four does vary.  About ten years ago, when the franchise was having its tenth anniversary, I was contacted by an old AOL contact and fellow Sonic fan, who had gotten a group together to build a fan site to celebrate the event.  This fellow, Alex Weitzman, if I recall his name correctly, asked me if I wanted to contribute to said site in some way, as I had some fan fiction that could have gone up.  There was also to be a section for fan reviews of various episodes of the Saturday Morning cartoon series.  Since I had a few episodes recorded to VHS available, I volunteered to do reviews of those episodes as well.

What follows below the jump is the first of two such reviews I have ready access to, for the episode entitled "Sonic Conversion".  Originally written in fall or winter of 2001, at a time when I was still an active part of the Mystery Science Theater fan community, the overall review series takes its title from my self-insertion fan series based on MST.

Be warned, though, at the time, I was only just beginning to really develop as a writer, so expect the spelling to be a little off in a few places and the attempts at humor to be markedly less than stellar overall.

With that, we've got review sign, folks!  Get your snacks and beverages now and prepare to laugh yourselves silly for all the wrong reasons!

Jesse’s Adventure Blog: The Old Floppies, Part One


Yes, the title is a ripoff of the vlog series professional YouTuber Jonathan Paula does called Jon’s Adventure Vlog, and I can guarantee this won’t be nearly as interesting.
