Re: Random: The Game Awards Urged Eiji Aonuma To 'Wrap Up' Zelda Acceptance Speech

@Pikki I mostly work corporate gigs so maybe this doesn't translate as well, but in the shows I work, the timer and the "wrap it up" messages are shown on monitors on the floor directly in front of the stage, so only the people on stage can see them.

I agree that it was super unprofessional of them to have those monitors in a place where the audience could easily see them.

Thirty seconds is way too short, especially when half of it is taken up by a translator. Should've been 1-2 minutes if not more.

That said - when you have an allotted amount of time to speak and you go over it, that screws up everything that comes after - all of the other speakers, the performers, everything. A large multi-day show like this probably even has rehearsals for the next day lined up for after the evening show.

For the love of god, if the clock says to wrap it up because you're over your time - wrap it up!

Re: Rumour: The Sonic 3 Movie Synopsis Has Potentially Been Revealed

Kind of disappointing imo, several elements of the second movie hinted strongly that the third one would be at least somewhat related to SA2 (Shadow, the research facility having been hidden for fifty years, the helicopter with "SA-2" emblazoned on the side ffs). Though I guess the mention of Robotnik's grandfather might mean it'll still be alluded to in some way.
