Amy Rose was the first Time-Travel Hedgehog
When you think of time travel in the Sonic the Hedgehog lore, who is the first that pops into your head? I thought it was Silver the Hedgehog, just like several other people. But guess what? Amy Rose did take part in time travel, and so did Metal Sonic.

Which Sonic Character has the saddest backstory?
I recently watched a video by YouTuber Tyrecordslol discussing how many fans believe Shadow the Hedgehog has the saddest backstory in the Sonic franchise. While I understand why Shadow’s story resonates with so many, I actually think there are two characters who could rival him: Knuckles and Silver the Hedgehog.

From Variants to Legacy
This idea didn’t come from a panel, a publisher, or a Comic-Con keynote. It came from a comment section. After I published my article about how comic shops don’t need more collectors but more readers, I came across a comment that quietly reframed the entire conversation. The commenter pointed out something that, in hindsight, feels almost obvious: libraries are often the genuine point of entry for new comic readers, not comic shops.

Bethesda Pinball DLC Details Every Fan Should Know
There is something strangely comforting about the sound of a silver ball bouncing between bumpers. For many of us, pinball feels like childhood. It feels like dim arcades, glowing lights, and the quiet thrill of chasing a high score. Now imagine that feeling mixed with worlds filled with dragons, vault dwellers, and demon slayers. That is where Bethesda pinball DLC details start to matter. When familiar video game universes are rebuilt inside a pinball machine, nostalgia and skill collide. Fans are not just flipping paddles. They are revisiting stories they already love. This article explores the most important Bethesda pinball DLC details, what each table offers, and why these digital pinball experiences continue to draw attention from gamers and collectors alike.

Amazon Prime’s Fallout TV Show Is One of the Best Video Game Adaptations Ever Made. AI-Generated.
When Amazon Prime Video announced it was adapting Fallout into a live-action television series, expectations were cautiously high but deeply skeptical. Video game adaptations have a long and painful history of missing the point, ignoring lore, or flattening rich worlds into generic action stories. Fallout, with its dense mythology, dark humor, and morally complex wasteland, seemed especially difficult to translate. Against the odds, Amazon’s Fallout TV show didn’t just succeed. It set a new standard for what video game adaptations can be.

Fallout Series Review (Season 2)
After so many underwhelming video game adaptations, Fallout showed everyone how was it done with a knockout opening season in 2024. The second chapter takes a firmer grip on the source material, directly incorporating the lore into the main narrative. For the most part, it’s every bit as effective and engaging as the original.

Before Shadow, we were going to get Terios
What do Sonic and Shadow have in common? They are both hedgehogs, and they're both super-fast. However, there's a saying that they look alike, but I beg to differ you can clearly see they are so different from each other. Almost like Sonic and Shadow balance each other out. One is Yin, the other is Yang. I wanted to know why the character Amy constantly mistakes Shadow for Sonic. And being a complete nerd, I did some research, and the reason behind this whole thing of Sonic and Shadow supposedly looking exactly alike is because of the prototype of the character Terios the hedgehog. That was designed to be Sonic’s rival, figuratively speaking. Shadow wasn't supposed to exist; he was a last-minute change. Here's what I mean: Terios is literally a replica, you could say a mirror, because his name, in Japanese, means "reflection" or "imitation". He is primarily known as a piece of "lost" Sonic history that reappeared as an unlockable skin for Shadow in Sonic x Shadow Generations, It's good to see the prototype actually got some time in the gaming, even though it was put back in storage.

Pet Sites From the 2000s: Where Are They Now?
When I was growing up, the Internet was packed with safe spaces for children: simple games, educational websites and pet sites that invited you to create a digital companion. Today, most of those websites have disappeared. However, pet sites were so huge at their peak that they still linger in the public's consciousness--and with "y2k" aesthetic making a comeback, these games might have another shot in the limelight.
