Entry #2: Sonic Super-Disasters

Image
      Sonic Superstars is the most recent Classic Sonic game to come out. Supposedly, this game was supposed to be the successor to the beloved game, "Sonic Mania Plus," which was a love letter to any Classic Sonic fan. With it also coming out 3 days before the highly esteemed, "Super Mario Wonder," it is safe to say that it had very big shoes to fill. When the game finally released, fans were disappointed to say the least. I got my copy along with Super Mario Wonder, and now all I can do is wish that I could travel back in time and stop myself from getting Sonic Superstars in the first place. This game did not live up to the hype that it had at its reveal. So why is this game so bad?

Back then, stories were either thrown into the instruction booklet or did not even exist to begin with. Nowadays, a game can tell many stories due to prior limitations of the console.

Blogger Target Practice

     It should come as no surprise that there are a lot of bloggers in the blogging industry. As such, quality is never consistent. Some blogs may be unprofessional, some may be professional, and some might even be in between those two classifications. Each and every blog will also be organized differently, and today, I will be evaluating two blogs to show what I mean.      To start things things off, we have our first blog from TMZ, known for having a T.V. show all about blogs and commentary. In this article,  they go over a breathtaking event of a woman clinging onto a speeding car for the sake of her dog. The organization that they use for this article's sentences are a double edged sword. On one hand, it makes longer sentences easier to read as they are not bundled together. On the other hand, when they use this technique on a short sentence, it starts to look very out of place. It is told in a professional manner as adding humor to this situation,...
