Wes Fenlon: Sonic is a literal nightmare
Over on our lows page, my lovely colleague Tom Senior has written all about how terrible the Sonic the Hedgehog movie looks, the hate that Sonic’s design has inspired, and all the extra work the artists will have to do to « fix » it. All of those things are true, and yet the Sonic trailer is my high for a week, because I’ve taken great joy watching this disaster unfold. Let’s be serious here: the Sonic movie was always going to be awful. There was zero chance it turned out to be a clever take on the character. There was zero chance a CG-Sonic-meets-real-life-James-Marsden was going to be a good idea. I feel bad for everyone working on that movie who knows they’re making a lemon, but I’m honestly going to enjoy the hell out of this dumpster fire of an idea all the way to its 13% Rotten Tomatoes score this November.
Tom Senior: Overcooked
I already own a stupidly over-engineered toaster but the one thing it lacks, and I curse this fact every day, is sick RGB underlighting with the ability to cycle through the entire rainbow.
The Razer toaster to the rescue, perhaps. It’s a piece of April Fool’s marketing that has gone rogue. According to Razer’s CEO, it’s going to be a real thing. I don’t just want underlighting on this thing, I want it to glow from within at an intensity that implies toast is being crozzled by the green fires of hell.
