    At 8:35 I was pretty sure Arin was about to charge forward while still at 0 rings and get killed again, but then he actually remembered that he could generate rings from his cyloop (despite having only done so once before) and took a moment to recharge. Nice job, Arin! If we’re going to laugh at their derp moments, I think it’s only fair that we also praise their smart ones, too.

    I can't even laugh at Arin for mistaking LT+RT for LB+RB and thinking a somersault is a parry. I thought the ENTIRE GAME, it was like Royal Guard and frame specific instead of a stance, so I'd land a parry like 5% of the game, and spent the whole time thinking "WOW, THEY REALLY DID UP THE DIFFICULTY THIS IS RAD!" only to later learn I basically self-imposed a challenge on myself.
    I also didn't realize how the schmup sections worked, and Touhou'd it by never changing my colors. That took a long time.

    Jaundice is not a disease of the liver! It's a symptom! It's yellowing discoloration of the skin often due to liver failure or liver distress!

    Notice how whenever Dan gives the game a compliment Arin doesn't acknowledge it.

    Wow, the Sonic team seems like they finally got a handle on making a game.
    ...and then Arin clips into the colossus for a bit...

    Idk if calling that ability “Grand Slam” was a Snapcube reference, but I 100% choose to believe it is

    I'm very excited for them to witness the evolution of sonic butt rock at the first boss

      Stop calling yourself a fan. Undefeatable does not sound like ass (because that's what "butt rock" stands for, rock music that sounds like ass) its a genuine God tier METAL song, and calling it "butt rock" is incredibly insulting to the artist. And that goes for anything Crush 40 too. Stop acting like Arin, lieing about being a fan.

    I'm so excited that they've started up series again ^^
    It's much nicer to have something to look forward to than not knowing what random one-off is coming all the time

    29:55 This is the guy!! Arin is the ONE guy who SEGA appeases by putting Green Hill Zone in every Sonic game over and over again. I didn't think this person existed until now.

      It's almost as if Sega needs to realize he's not a fan and should stop appealing to him. Seriously, now that Arin played this game, we (as genuine Sonic fans) are going to see more Green Hill Zones in future games. Thanks Arin! You did us a real solid! 😒
