An Animated Sonic the Hedgehog

Tell It Animated is back with Sonic the Hedgehog! What a nice way to start this Monday, which is gonna be a very interesting Monday for me. And it’s nice to have a simple animated video to share at the start of the day.

Good old Sonic. Always up for some fun and silliness. He’s had a lot of good designs, and a lot of crummy designs. And now they’re all animated. I dunno. I got nothing in me this morning. Just wanted to post something and get to work for a busy day! So enjoy!

And, as always, Tell It Animated should do a video on Robin!

There’s Gonna be More Twisted Metal!

I write this to you in the middle of a snowstorm, which is coming already on top of the worst winter the northeast has had in some years. So yeah, jeez. And through all of this storm, I’ve still got to buy a new car. Life is fine.

But at least we’ve got a trailer for a second season of Twisted Metal! And starring the man of the hour, Anthony Mackie!

I very much enjoyed the first season of Twisted Metal. It was a fun, silly show that had great action and took itself the right balance of silly and serious. And season two looks like it’ll be even more fun!

Also, we are not getting more Twisted Metal the game, if that’s what you thought my headline meant…sorry.

Also also, I really liked Mackie in the new Captain America film! I may or may not have a review up this week, depending on how this snowstorm goes.

Twisted Metal will return to Peacock this summer.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is right around the corner

This is going to be a big year in video games, and the first major release is coming out on Tuesday. It’s Kingdom Come: Deliverance II! I played the first one years after release and had a great time, even though I never actually finished. And I’m very excited for the sequel…though I probably won’t buy it on launch. I’m still distracting myself with other games.

Anyway, this is a fun game. It’s the Skyrim/Fallout first-person RPG style, but it trades dragons and sorcery for hardcore realism. This is a game where you have to put on every single strap of armor, from underwear to undershirt to padded jerkin to chainmail to breastplate to gloves to socks to boots to gauntlets to leg irons to all sorts of other details. The detail is insane, and that’s what makes it interesting and unique and, in it’s way, very fun!

I will definitely get this one eventually and just want to spread the good word about how much fun these games are. Check it out and try it out! Very fun stuff.

My 6 Most Anticipated Pop Cultures for 2025

We’re deep into January now, which means this article is pretty late — but also not so late that some of these things have come to pass yet. They’re still in our future, so it’s still safe to talk about them like that.

As I become a bitter old man, all I really have let to cling to are pop cultures like video games, TV shows and movies. And 2025 promises to be a very good year for content, in a world that relies on more and more content. So let’s talk about them for the year ahead!

And feel free to share your own anticipated pop cultures in the comments below!

My 6 Favorite Things of 2024

Welp, the world keeps spinning and we’ve reached the end of another year. It was a crap year full of mostly crap entertainment, and I’m coming up empty in terms of empathy and interest. Following the presidential election, I’m opting to be more cynical these days as a coping mechanism. This was also the year I took a back seat on posting all the time. This was a year.

In good news, I finally started my own original comic — Cover Bard — and am halfway done with the first issue. I need to make a big post about it. And the second volume of Gamer Girl & Vixen is complete and headed to the printers, to be distributed and available for sale early next year. So those were some good things that happened. We also had a ton of great TV shows, but not a lot of great movies or video games. It was a weird year.

But I like putting together a list like this, so join me after the jump for my favorite bits and pieces of pop culture from 2024! And feel free to share your own in the comments below.
