So can’t wait for the future no more innocence video, if there a sonic.exe that would look fantastic in your art style it’s no more innocence (and in my opinion one of the best renditions of sonic.exe utilizing the roots of the actual sonic character and the original story)
I feel like what basically happened was that when the Friday night funkin community made the Sonic.exe mod, it made everyone remember the story existed, and then everyone was like “Wow, that story/game was shit, I could do way better. ….. You know what? I Will do way better.” And then Ta-Da! A whole new community was born!
It was more a community revival than anything, while there had been dedicated works in the past for this sort of thing, it always felt very self contained up until FNF blew it out of the water, with the largest community probably being the Nightmare series community before FNF helps the creepypasta take the spotlight. I remember back in 2018 just looking for new ExE related stuff to watch, and I’m insanely impressed with all of the new stuff as well, and I’m happy that it’s getting talked about a lot more now! This community was reborn by FNF, and while it’s bittersweet to see some of my favourites take a backseat to all of this, I’m incredibly happy to see the original story being taken into the proper care it really needed so that it could actually shine, there’s tons of other, older fangames out there and now that there’s a larger backing for this community, games old and new can really shine both in terms of quality and popularity, whereas before it was much harder to come across someone who had that same interest. Sorry I talk a lot but I kinda wanted to say something about the community before FNF propped it up onto its own two legs, and as a message to anyone who reads this and is interested, I hope you’d make the time to check out other games, even if just through UA-cam videos like this, there’s a veritable treasure trove of stories and games out there.
Idk, it's still very bland to me in terms of story. It's a race to see who has the most perverse / gory deaths. I'm not trying to undermine the effort that goes into the making of these games, but it's just meh, imo
I think what makes me more interested in Sonic.exe is the creation of Xenophanes. Long story short, he’s not a demonic possessed Sonic, he’s an Eldridge otherworldly fanboy that takes the form of Sonic as a sick form of admiration for the hedgehog.
Most exes aren't actually possesed sonic funnily,alien shaping their worlds based on sonic is the norm Possesed sonic is more of a plot thing in games where you can survive fight back
Yeah, but less “demon has taken the new form they were originally trapped in because it makes them stronger due to it’s recognizability”, and more “what if Bat-Mite was evil and a Sonic fan instead of Batman?”
No, Pastra. You weren't wrong. The OG story was dogshit. Overly ridiculous descriptions, written more as a blueprint for the inevitable fan game (seriously, the guy in the story STRAIGHT UP SAYS IT PLAYED THE KEFKA LAUGH AND USED THE MUSIC FROM OTHER GAMES), non-sensical story, tryhard, and the creator was an asshole even before the allegations. But Sonic fans are great at taking bad ideas and turning them into gold. Its so cool to see how many interperetations of one character there can be, and the fangames get pretty wild when they really commit to the fourth wall breaking horror.
Thank you! Can we not give the original author a pass please? Pastra was right about the OG story! EDIT: To be clear, if you like the OG story, thats fine, and if Pastra liked it somehow retroactively (which he didnt btw, I watched the video now), cool, I was just being a bit dramatic here, sorry lmao Author's still a right dunce though :P
Yeah while he was insane that rant was unhinged and wanting to go to war with the creepypasta wiki because they moved it to their joke wiki. Yeah the guy absolutely nuts
I Mean I Saw a Sonic Fanfiction that had NINE from Sonic Prime end up in the grimdark world of "Where was My Hero"; Where Miles "The Mad Fox" Prowler had gone full Guano Insane and a Psychopathic Supervillain!!
2011 in and of itself barely changes the plot and immediately changed Pastra's opinion. At least when considering the game versions of the story, anyhow.
As cliche as the original game was, there was two good things about it for sure: The fear of seeing a close friend and role model instead be a villain, and how instead of struggling to keep up with them, you struggle to run away from them now. Roles have flipped against you, with a inevitable creeping danger coming from the one you valued the most. And the confidence destruction of being unable to strike such a foe, despite holding the power in your two fists. Try all you wish, your hands only reach the air, no matter how many times you see the threat right infront of you. Your strength is pointless.
Tails and Knuckles, right ? None of the EXE stories I've seen thus far has executed these ideas well because Sonic's friends in most stories are either nefted to oblivion or not actually them as all.
One thing I don't like about even modern sonic.exe is that they try way, way too hard to be menacing and hostile. I think it'd be creepier if exe acted more like a "friend" showing you the cool stuff he can do with his toys. It'd be more meaningful too because it leans into the way the people who play these games are kinda doing it to see what new way Tails and co are going to get murked. Different strokes tho ig.
trust me, most people in the .exe community also hate the og story, you're definitely not the only one it's just that the community knows how to take something awful and make it actually good in their own unique way
@@danaugg9183 It's 2011x's story but it was badly written, the game made based on the story has been dated for a little while, and the original creator was a piece of shit.
@@danaugg9183 it's not traumatizing or anything, to be clear. i've read it and it's absolutely hilarious. awful grammar, awful writing, unironically has the phrase "he's too fast for me..." in it. i'd recommend giving it a read or watching someone else read it out if you'd like a good laugh.
Sonic.exe is one of the rare few pieces of media whose fanbase actually improves the original work. It would be nothing without the people who took the original concept and story and turned it into something actually worth thinking about
One thing I love about Pastra is that he's always willing to give everything a chance. Hearing that apparently "Sonic.exe" and "Lord X" are different would make most roll their eyes and ignore it but this guy actually pays attention and follows along with what he's making content about, even if it's a little silly. You go dude
@@platinumg.8614 Sonic.exe is the one that takes place at 2011. Lord X is the future self of 2011. They were once different beings as Lord X being an alternate future timeline of Sonic.exe but that seem to have been revoked
9:31 The reason for Sonic.exe being referred as "X" comes from the Creepypasta sequel Sonic.exe round 2. Where it is revealed Sonic.exe isn't a demon, but rather an interdimensional entity comprised of dark matter known as X. Who hails from an empty dimension known as the Void.
……you see I liked all creepypastas and always thought that sonic.exe was at least somewhat cool (I just pretended the og story didn’t exist) but I come back….after forever….and now he’s an inter dimensional being??? Now I fucking LOVE this blood shot eyed bastard
36:37 if you didn’t notice, that’s actually “Amy” (quotations because that’s probably not actually Amy Rose). You can tell by the green top she’s wearing.
@@shayziekaizieher name depends on the exact media i believe. Some pieces i think use the name “Rosy Rascal” for default, classic amy. Other pieces use it for a psychotic alternative version of her while “Good/Normal” Classic Amy is just called Amy Rose. Still others use both names interchangeably for one version. This is kind of a weird thing with creating/using multiple versions of a single character while interchangeably using multiple names. Especially across multiple series of a franchise (ie. Different Comics, games, etc.). Never mind the continuity errors when major writing shifts happen in a long running series, like with Archie comics. (Looking at the “Echidna Man Incident” in particular as a prime example of these major shifts and fallouts…)
@@terminalvelocityrunner2202 Also even more extreme with the whole "SEGA of America and SEGA of Japan simply did NOT interact with them, and even today there's still a major split between the companies" thing which is the reason we have the whole Eggman vs Robotnik situation.
Don’t know if you noticed, but when Ray is getting chased, the score changes to “SONIC STOP PLEASE”, “SOMEBODY HELP ME”, and “PLAYER SAVE ME” in that order. Edit 1:MOMMY IM FAMOUS!! (thank you)
It's something that should be used more for anything "Sonic.EXE". Being more polite and talkative with the player, but everyone *in* the game knowing just how nightmarishly f_cked this all is. Tails and Eggman panicking, Knuckles having a legit fearful breakdown, Ray begging for help... It's honestly way more intimidating than Sonic.EXE trying to outright go for the player.
Also fun fact, after that jumpscare at 33:40, Sonic is playing his “on the edge” animation for when he’s on a ledge. So that means even he saw what you saw and it scared him, which is interesting
Fun fact about eyx. When he kills you, you will feel that pain in death forever, like he burn tails alive so tails will forever feel like he is always burning
That's some Corpse Party shit holy fuck. The idea that, should you ever die, the pain of your death being the thing you feel for all eternity afterwards? Ngl, that kind of horror is one that really freaks me out, and I love it.
Technically It is correct as when your nerves stop processing you could be stuck in the pain and feelings in your end eternally as non existence is quite literally an impossible state of being like a photo frozen in time
I love sonic.exe games because they took the best part of 99% of creepypastas, the visuals, and ramped them up to the most insane level possible. They're like playable haunted houses, or playable slasher movies. Sure, they usually only have ok stories at best, and most of them are cleche as possible... But man the deranged imagery is so fun to look at. The wild directions people take these characters is amazing.
You know what's ironic, a while back your creepypasta rewrite of jeff the killer inspired me to rewrite the sonic.exe story, and at that time i was completely unaware of your distate towards sonic.exe
If I had a nickel for every time pastra touched a piece of media from a horror property they absolutely despise and ended up becoming a fan of that piece of media/property, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t much, but it’s kinda funny how it’s happened twice
As an EXE fan who read the original story Yeah, it's crap. But it isn't *that* bad. You guys make it out to be the absolute worst piece of media ever written when it's only just...mid, and that's it.
Fun fact for each one: X/2011 deleted Eggman from existence due to the big jaw being a black hole Lord X is technically 2011x, but 2011x isn't Lord X due to a string of events that made 2011x to Lord x due to being the first but 2011x isn't Lord X since he isn't the original like he said EYX is an odd creature but he's cool Sonic.OMT is a omnipresent being and a massive shape-shifter so he has infinite amount of ways to kill the three. Also there's more to him like One Last Round which is the same but more Green Mountain is absolute a mystery but it would make sense as to why there's fall damage in the game since it's an actual person in some way
The stuff with 2011 X and Lord X has been retconned, Lord X’s story is now the main official continuation of SONIC 2011 without any alternate timeline shenanigans
honestly your humor and casual responses to some of the scares helps me not get super spooked lmao, especially just going "hi" whenever smth is looking at the camera
I am so glad the character rights for X (Sonic.exe's name) were stripped from JCTheHyenASS and given to JoeDoughBoi and ASTRONOMICON. JoeDoughBoi's Sonic2011 (the current canon's replacement to the creepypasta) and SONIC PC PORT is genuinely such a fitting way to restart Sonic.exe as a whole. ESPECIALLY glad they got rid of THOSE parts of X (if you know you know) oh also lord x from sonic pc port is just straight up x (as seen in 2011) but in the future years and years later. OH ALSO: theres not continuity in ALL games, some stuff is simply seperate takes/characters. But yes, X is Lord X. There's continuity in the official shit, and the fanmade stuff is fanmade, whether or not it has its own seperate continuity.
I remember following Astronomicon after hearing she owns Sonic.EXE (cause there’s no way in Hell I’m supporting a degenerate creep.) and I like the idea she had of Sonix.EXE, a.k.a. Xenophanes, taking on a human disguise to toy with his victims in the real world. I hope she continues the story
Actually (and this maybe confusing) Lord X IS indeed X from the future BUT Lord X is one of the futures that could happen to X if he did something that makes him Lord X
The best thing about Sonic.exe is that there isnt really a solid story that creators need to follow. You have the ones that are inspired like EYX and Lord X, then you have beasts like NeedleMouse, Shin Sonic, or No More Innocence that take things to a whole other level. Whether absolute garbage or masterpieces, Sonic.exe just adds so much to a franchise I already obsess over. Man I love that hedgehog
sonic 2011: I will be the first game to start all of this. sonic PC port: I will be the first game to revive this community. One Last Round: I will be the first game to rick roll the player.
best to treat sonic.exe as an internet community project rather than being the property of any one person. Since otherwise it just leaves a sour taste in your mouth; And gives the jerk too much credit
On the Topic of 0:27 (unless it's brought up later) as of now Sonic.exe is under new Ownership and the OG Creator no longer has ownership. The New Design of Sonic.exe is named Xenophanes.
@@sonicdatalkingball465 No, that would technically be the OG X, now rewritten as 2011X. It's a wonky-ass story, but it's understandable if you have at least a twinge of common sense that the og og Sonic.EXE has been shanked and left for dead.
Pastra might be one of the few creators that i see appreciate most of the good details of this spooky games. Most of the sonic.exe community treat the haunted blue hedgehog has a big blue joke, but you actually feel the essence of this game. Hats off my friend for spread positivity over the horror content, bless ya.
I love how one last round makes it seem like Sonic just willingly gives a warning to anybody who plays. Also on the subtitles when he talks about the guy who pushed the boulder instead of it being the actual name its “copus”
So, I just saw an interesting Sonic.exe concept a while ago where it’s just a Metal sonic gone wild, taking Sonic’s skin and wearing it over its metallic body, but the idea of it being a Metal Sonic gone manic and out of control is an interesting concept.
"The original creepypasta from 2011 is my single least favorite piece of internet horror ever made." the official 2017 remake of it. it gets so. so much worse. (not 2017x, x prime or whatever jc2017 was)
Who would've ever guessed?!?! In the *right* and most adequate hands, ANY piece of media can go from trash to treasure with the right set of ideas, the good amount of care and dedication, and all the time it needs to become much MUCH better than what it originally was Though like always, internet never forgets and maybe most people will stubbornly stick to the first impression Sonic.exe gave them, WHICH isn't bad either honestly, those people might serve to remind everyone of what JC did and what shouldn't be done in a horror story, but also having those concerning levels toxicity towards the devs of the new Sonic.exe versions is completely wrong and out of place since they're not at any fault of what the og creator did Thank you Pastra, I hope this video is received better than how I think most ppl will take it
The funniest thing is that Pastra barely even scratched the surface when it comes to Sonic.EXE. Y'all thought the Jeff the Killer OCs and re-imaginings were plentyful? Ooooooh boy, you guys aren't ready at alllllll. Even if the FNF mod is pretty infamous for jumping Sonic.EXE's popularity even higher than it ever was in the 2010s, it has so many different versions of the character and for a reason, and that's all without mentionning the many different horror Sonic related things that aren't connected to Sonic.EXE in any way whatsoever. Here are some of my recommendations for people interested in trying out any horror Sonic thing, .EXE thing or not. -Needlemouse, a UA-cam analog horror series that re-interprets Sonic.EXE, making Sonic not a demon but the ghost of a murdered girl taking revenge on her murderers. It is complete but has been deleted, as the creator, ShutUpJojo, is remaking it in a far different way. Still, the old version has all been compilled in a video, so definitely look it up if you can, it's pretty great imo. -El Pendrive Azul. A spanish story that was created before Sonic.EXE was ever a thing. The original story is alright, but vibingleaf's fangame and subsequent video of it especially are a great remake of it that adds a twist that honestly keeps me up thinking of it sometimes. -Shin Sonic/The Sonic Tapes. While you probably saw the endless brainrot that resulted from it getting popular, it's still a pretty great webseries here on UA-cam in it's own right. It's basically Sonic keeping his own abilities but slowly growing to become a Godzilla-level Kaiju threat.
You probably havent heard of this but, Theres a version of Sonic.Exe called “El Pendrive Azul (The Blue USB)” that turns the concept of Sonic being evil into the game being turned into Malware that was meant to kill players by giving them HORRIBLE seizures
To give a bit more context, the Sonic.exe from SONIC 2011 is called 2011x, or X for short. He WILL become Lord X in the future (the one from PC PORT). A lot of EXEs can be related in some ways, you should totally check more outside of the games. Like EXE/Faker, who is a entity created by X, but was banned by him, due to being "no fun". Or Lord Mortis, who is a alternate version of X, who got defeated by another upper being. Glad to see you're starting to love EXEs stuff :) I would highly suggest checking content related to Rewrite, he's one of the most creative and cool EXE out there.
Pretty sure Joe said something along the lines of Lord X always being 2011X, but 2011X not always being Lord X. Joe also made an official chart showing how each of the main continuities connect and branch off.
So the EXE fanbase has been working for years to make good fan-made material for him meanwhile his “official” stuff is hated by the majority of the public? Wow, he really is like Sonic, just with more understandable hate
YES! One of us! One of us! Why people like Sonic.exe is pretty similar to your reasons for your eyeless jack video so I had a feeling with time, you would change your mind. The original creepypasta is bad, but its always been the community that made the character interesting and gave the demon spiky new life
What I love the most about this video is that the story about Sonic.exe’s many fan games compared to the original story is that it is indicative of the Sonic fanbase as both can make the absolute best projects outta some admittedly bad stuff.
So basically, I believe there are three exes that split off from X(the first one). He can either become Lord X, who is wiser, more careful, and more honorable to a degree, or he can become Lord Mortis, who is X after getting soundly trounced by Bandado, who is an exe that takes the form of Eggman. Lord Mortis specifically is much more courteous and mature and is probably the only version of him you can call 'good' because he was so severely humbled. Lord X ends up creating EXE, who is another being entirely, and the seven Guardians, who watch his realm while he's playing his games. Those are the connections I think.
I'd highly recommend watching a yt video called 'The misunderstood canon of sonic.exe'. It's an 1hr long video that explains all the mainline (ones that people are interested in) current canons of sonic.exe. It's very much a split timeline scenario, where one canon is a what if from the original and others are what if from other EXE's. One of my favourite exe's that's up and coming is lord morbius (or mobius?). It's essentially if another entity took over 2011X's game and inhabits eggman. This different entity steals all of 2011X's powers and humbles him, so much so that he's technically the goodish guy in this one, who helps the player try to escape from the new entity.
Funny thing, when I was a kid I was TERRIFIED of Sonic.EXE. I made me so scared I avoided Sonic like the plague. Then Pastra streamed Sonic.EXE and that set off a domino effect and then I played all the classic games for the first time last month. I'm blaming you for this
Sonic.exe is terrible at its core, but the potential to build upon it is amazing. The Sonic fanbase is so vast that there's definitely some talented content creators out there who can deliver the most interesting takes. The Horror Fandom intersects so nicely with Sonic, especially when it canonically has some weird and creepy monsters in the canon. Mephiles, Infinite, Time Eater, Dark Gaia, The End and even Black Doom are fantastic enemies that deal in some kind of manipulation, world warping, body horror, and reality distortion, meaning that the idea of an entity that can infect your game file isn't too far out of the realm of possibility.
What I think would be cool would be a fangame about shadows storyline and sonic.exe. It'd be interesting seeing a character as wholly malicious as Black Doom interact with Sonic.exe. I don't see him being scared like Robotnik, or even trying to stop X, but trying and fail to exploit him, either by turning him to black doom's cause or doing a mob boss thing where sonic.exe keeps his own slice of earth to play with his "toys" but BD gets the planet. There's a lot of fun stuff you could do there IMO Not to mention there's a lot of sore spots in Shadow's past X could hit to torment him.
one last round had me laughing. Son.exe over here talking about some "Are ya ready kids?" aye aye captain, I'm ready to get three people murked in the span of 10 minutes or so.
Pastra pre stream- Yeah not that good tbh Pastra post stream- I retract my statement and will now be talking about my love for Sonic Exe for the rest of the year Also like damn that first one was dope as hell
It's still so funny how he was like "Hey i'm gonna try and be fair to these games and I don't want any of you harassing the devs when I don't like the games" and then he loved all the games he played.
Alright pasta i finally figured out what the hell chat meant by find a shovel, you need undertale mod manager because it can be used on most sonic fan games because theire engines run similarly, in the code of the game is text implying two boys, or men, way in over their head have killed something and want to find it on green mountain, one boy asks the other "hey, you got the shovel?" The other responds "no, i left in it the car" Thw youtuber pappo just did a great video on it, really good stuff, totally worth a watch
21:41 - 22:14 FUN FACT: The track used here is from the PS2 game Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil. It's called "Hyuponia/Ruin of Sadness", and it's trippy. Only the intro to the track is used, but I'm still glad it got used in a creepypasta game, it was practically made for it. I know I posted this comment on the VOD too, but I just think it's that cool of a detail. ^.^
i just love the creator said "SONIC.EXE WILL LIVE FOREVER"....and it DID! he was crazy sure, mean yes, story telling skills NONE....but he was right. thats the part that scares me....that he...WAS RIGHT.
@@leopoldosoto779 he said he doesn't care about that and is extremely happy his creation is still alive, hes still on discord. You can tell cause he speaks with emoticons and those uwu things as he types
Green mountain has a lot of hidden stuff in the game files that reveals a small amount of the games story. I believe it is getting an official sequel but what we have now is very cool and intriguing. I'd recommend watching some of the deep dives about the game on youtube. Also just wanted to say this video and the rest of your videos are amazing and I can't wait to see more of content!
@OttoMatson the sequel is theorised to be false and made by someone else. If you want more info I would recommend pappos video on green mountain where he goes over this.
I don't blame anyone for not wanting to go near Sonic.exe. The whole shit with the creater and the original story aside, the game which was most people's first time hearing about Sonic.exe was honestly boring. It's literally just walk right to see gore of your comfort character and you don't even see anything of it. Then there's the whole believability of it. The game is meant to be exactly how the story explained it, but the imagery doesn't make a whole lot of sense if it was supposed to be from an old videogame. I have a hard time believing games back then could even attempt at making high quality images like that. The oldest console i have is a PS1 and even when games on that have images or videoes they're pretty low quality. Cutscenes are often like a UA-cam video at 240p at best If I'm watching a videogame creepypasta, i prefer everything to be designed in a way that i could believe it being in the game. Like the Godzilla NES one. The monster in that genuinely looked like it could be part of the game. I can't imagine a hacked copy of the classic Sonic games having extremely high quality images in them.
I think Sonic.EXE is a good example of how dedicated Sonic fans are. Like this is the same community that turned something like Sonic 06, a game that absolutely destroyed the series' reputation at the time, into one of the best experiences you can have playing a Sonic game. So it's kinda beautiful seeing a hilarously awful creepypasta be the starting point of some genhinely great fan horror games.
I’ve said it before and ill say it again, what makes X so interesting is the fact that he IS very versatile. In the aspect that anyone really could make a better story for him, in his 50+ variants of him, theirs really great ones X is here to stay until everyone will forget. Btw love ya vid’s mate, was in stream saying this shit too lol
To be honest, my favorite rendition of sonic.exe is OMT. And not just because I love the extra limbs and the bodies that he makes that are similar to sonic, but obviously not.
I will never like Sonic exe but I think the fact people are making new ideas and making it more intriguing is awesome. Glad to see how creative people can get beyond the red eyes.
I like how he’s actually keeping up with the lore because that’s something most people tend to ignore. Hope you get to see the yt stuff too because a lot of those are AMAZING. (Sonic limited cartridge and speedduo64 are great.)
No you weren’t wrong about Sonic.exe it’s just that the fans took the terrible original source material and made it amazing. Sonic.exe honestly a kinda crazy story of how a terrible source material can still thrive and become amazing with passionate fans.
If You're On Your Exe Arc, Something Similar Is Horrorbrews (Basically EXEs But Marios) Basically, PLAY MARIO 85. It Doesn't Fuck With Your PC Don't Worry.
Wait, did Pastra include the clip where he learns that X chose Sonic because of a hyperfixation? That clip is the highlight of the stream and we went right past it here.
i will still never forgive sonic.exe (whichever one had endings) for making the egregious claim that super sonic can beat sonic.exe but the guy who can punch the invincible dude so hard he knocks the super out of his name somehow gets his butt wiped
The only ones I can think of that have endings are Sonic.exe Corruption Chaos, Sonic.exe Nightmare Beginning, Sally.exe Eye of Three and Sonic.exe Sprits of Hell. I don't know which ones have the super sonic fight all these games have endings as far as I know. Hope this helps.
I mean Sonic has been implied in the actual series lore to be basically a chosen one with a strong link to the emeralds, yes it's also plot armour but still, that happened when Sonic was young, I wouldn't be surprised if Knuckles was unable to do so anymore, it happening from the ancients tech in Frontiers makes a lot more sense since the emeralds came from their planet and they found Mobius/Earth/Planet Freedom take your pick, due to the master emerald acting as a homing signal If you can't tell I'm a Sonic nerd and just wanted to add my thoughts of why this could be beyond well plot
15:07 the SECOND WE GOT HERE i was immediately filled with a humorous dread more comparable to dramatic irony. i was there while this moment happened in the stream and it was like watching a character do the wrong decision in a horror movie and knowing you can’t do anything about it
Okay, the absolute RAW POWER AND EMOTION that got put into the "holey shit!" at roughly 20:45 was so palpable, i felt it before i had my own reaction to just giggle like an idiot. I felt that 'holey shit' man
To me, I think the VHS series "Needlemouse" did the original story justice. I don't want to spoil the VHS series for anyone, (since I want people to make their own judgment on it), but if anyone is asking, then yes, this series is better then the original story by a mile long. You can't find the original playlist for it anymore, because the original creator took it down. But if anyone wants to find a reuploaded playlist of Needlemouse with the full 13 eps in it, then the playlist made by "Fleetway: The Bringer of Chaos" should be your best bet. This series is sometimes overshowed by all of the other EXE's in this fandom. But I think it deserves a chance.
@@based980 the creator of needlemouse is now making a new sonic creepypasta that is separate from needlemouse, the deleted needlemouse because they were very dissatisfied with the quality of needlemouse, though they were being hard on themselves tbh.
@doginthedark I don't think they were- Needlemouse has an absolute truckload of writing problems, its execution horror wise is often so bad it's hysterical, and Episode 4 Season 1 is genuinely really really bad. And though I haven't seen their new EXE yet, I'm honestly excited to see what they do with better skills in horror, art, and writing. Because they've got strengths! Their artstyle is great, their dialogue is mostly good, the ideas are strong. The writing and execution in Needlemouse though... Left a lot to be desired. (Please please please don't take this as a personal attack- I just really feel like Needlemouse doesn't get criticized enough. Or ever. I don't think it's good at all, but if you like it, that's fine.)
In my opinion, the ending of Needlemouse is clearly rushed. I can see why JoJo is not satisfied with this series and wants a reboot. That's why Speedduo64 exists.

Pastra, what do you think about seed eater
get the bread pasta man
I do wonder what that creepypasta is about after seeing popularmmos cover a mod with it
So can’t wait for the future no more innocence video, if there a sonic.exe that would look fantastic in your art style it’s no more innocence (and in my opinion one of the best renditions of sonic.exe utilizing the roots of the actual sonic character and the original story)
The enemies to lovers arc is crazy
Same as his one with Hello Neighbor
Literally
And now it’s the reverse for Bendy now apparently
Yeah
What's the enby version of toxic yaoi
The Creepypasta is SUUUUUUPER AWFUL!!!
The Fan Games however...PEAK!!
Glad you gave this another chance on stream :)
absolute legend in the premises
And we thank you for helping bring those fan games into existence.
I agree Rene

"I have made a severe and continuous laspe in my judgement"
@Mayo_Nayoogod dang it I was just about to say it!
Let’s hope this never ages poorly
I feel like what basically happened was that when the Friday night funkin community made the Sonic.exe mod, it made everyone remember the story existed, and then everyone was like “Wow, that story/game was shit, I could do way better. ….. You know what? I Will do way better.” And then Ta-Da! A whole new community was born!
It was more a community revival than anything, while there had been dedicated works in the past for this sort of thing, it always felt very self contained up until FNF blew it out of the water, with the largest community probably being the Nightmare series community before FNF helps the creepypasta take the spotlight. I remember back in 2018 just looking for new ExE related stuff to watch, and I’m insanely impressed with all of the new stuff as well, and I’m happy that it’s getting talked about a lot more now! This community was reborn by FNF, and while it’s bittersweet to see some of my favourites take a backseat to all of this, I’m incredibly happy to see the original story being taken into the proper care it really needed so that it could actually shine, there’s tons of other, older fangames out there and now that there’s a larger backing for this community, games old and new can really shine both in terms of quality and popularity, whereas before it was much harder to come across someone who had that same interest.
Sorry I talk a lot but I kinda wanted to say something about the community before FNF propped it up onto its own two legs, and as a message to anyone who reads this and is interested, I hope you’d make the time to check out other games, even if just through UA-cam videos like this, there’s a veritable treasure trove of stories and games out there.
It was technically alive before FNF, the mod did, however, revive it.
Idk, it's still very bland to me in terms of story. It's a race to see who has the most perverse / gory deaths. I'm not trying to undermine the effort that goes into the making of these games, but it's just meh, imo
@ And that’s fine. Everyone has their own tastes and opinions 👍
I think what makes me more interested in Sonic.exe is the creation of Xenophanes. Long story short, he’s not a demonic possessed Sonic, he’s an Eldridge otherworldly fanboy that takes the form of Sonic as a sick form of admiration for the hedgehog.
Funny how most, if not all canon sonic.exes are technically aliens
So new nightmare?
Most exes aren't actually possesed sonic funnily,alien shaping their worlds based on sonic is the norm
Possesed sonic is more of a plot thing in games where you can survive fight back
Yeah, but less “demon has taken the new form they were originally trapped in because it makes them stronger due to it’s recognizability”, and more “what if Bat-Mite was evil and a Sonic fan instead of Batman?”

No, Pastra. You weren't wrong. The OG story was dogshit. Overly ridiculous descriptions, written more as a blueprint for the inevitable fan game (seriously, the guy in the story STRAIGHT UP SAYS IT PLAYED THE KEFKA LAUGH AND USED THE MUSIC FROM OTHER GAMES), non-sensical story, tryhard, and the creator was an asshole even before the allegations.
But Sonic fans are great at taking bad ideas and turning them into gold. Its so cool to see how many interperetations of one character there can be, and the fangames get pretty wild when they really commit to the fourth wall breaking horror.
Thank you! Can we not give the original author a pass please? Pastra was right about the OG story!
EDIT: To be clear, if you like the OG story, thats fine, and if Pastra liked it somehow retroactively (which he didnt btw, I watched the video now), cool, I was just being a bit dramatic here, sorry lmao
Author's still a right dunce though :P
yeah, uhh, OG EXE? ya shit, mate. all of these new guys you have been forcefully turned into are the REAL X.

*the guy was absolutely nuts
I Mean I Saw a Sonic Fanfiction that had NINE from Sonic Prime end up in the grimdark world of "Where was My Hero"; Where Miles "The Mad Fox" Prowler had gone full Guano Insane and a Psychopathic Supervillain!!

Bro how tf are you everywhere
2011 in and of itself barely changes the plot and immediately changed Pastra's opinion. At least when considering the game versions of the story, anyhow.
I do kinda lowkey want Pastra to read the og Sonic.exe because the difference in quality will be hilarious.
Just like Thick of It
NO MOTHER FUCKING WAY
JUST TO CLARIFY I DIDNT SHAKE ON IT OR ANYtHING. I AM *NOT* DELETING MY CHANNEL
As cliche as the original game was, there was two good things about it for sure:
The fear of seeing a close friend and role model instead be a villain, and how instead of struggling to keep up with them, you struggle to run away from them now. Roles have flipped against you, with a inevitable creeping danger coming from the one you valued the most.
And the confidence destruction of being unable to strike such a foe, despite holding the power in your two fists. Try all you wish, your hands only reach the air, no matter how many times you see the threat right infront of you. Your strength is pointless.
YOU GET IT. YOU GET IT. THIS COMMENT DESCRIBES EVERYTHING I LOVE ABOUT SONIC.EXE. YOU UNDERSTAND.
Tails and Knuckles, right ? None of the EXE stories I've seen thus far has executed these ideas well because Sonic's friends in most stories are either nefted to oblivion or not actually them as all.
@@nguyenhuutrung3413true most victims aren't canon characters but souls of trapped in bodies shaped based on them
One thing I don't like about even modern sonic.exe is that they try way, way too hard to be menacing and hostile. I think it'd be creepier if exe acted more like a "friend" showing you the cool stuff he can do with his toys. It'd be more meaningful too because it leans into the way the people who play these games are kinda doing it to see what new way Tails and co are going to get murked.
Different strokes tho ig.

Sonic.exe is one of the rare few pieces of media whose fanbase actually improves the original work.
It would be nothing without the people who took the original concept and story and turned it into something actually worth thinking about
Mariculous lady bug is also one of those with cat blanc being from a fanfic but was put into the og show
I attribute that towards the genuineness of the Sonic fandom. Say what you want, but they're a dedicated bunch.
One thing I love about Pastra is that he's always willing to give everything a chance. Hearing that apparently "Sonic.exe" and "Lord X" are different would make most roll their eyes and ignore it but this guy actually pays attention and follows along with what he's making content about, even if it's a little silly. You go dude
Yeah exactly! Keep going dude!
Nah, we just ignore the original
They are now the same entity
What is the diference btw
@@platinumg.8614 Sonic.exe is the one that takes place at 2011. Lord X is the future self of 2011. They were once different beings as Lord X being an alternate future timeline of Sonic.exe but that seem to have been revoked
9:31 The reason for Sonic.exe being referred as "X" comes from the Creepypasta sequel Sonic.exe round 2. Where it is revealed Sonic.exe isn't a demon, but rather an interdimensional entity comprised of dark matter known as X. Who hails from an empty dimension known as the Void.
I was going to write that,thank you !

36:37 if you didn’t notice, that’s actually “Amy” (quotations because that’s probably not actually Amy Rose). You can tell by the green top she’s wearing.
Rosy Rascal. That was her name before it became Amy
That's the classic version of Amy btw
@@shayziekaizieher name depends on the exact media i believe. Some pieces i think use the name “Rosy Rascal” for default, classic amy. Other pieces use it for a psychotic alternative version of her while “Good/Normal” Classic Amy is just called Amy Rose. Still others use both names interchangeably for one version. This is kind of a weird thing with creating/using multiple versions of a single character while interchangeably using multiple names. Especially across multiple series of a franchise (ie. Different Comics, games, etc.). Never mind the continuity errors when major writing shifts happen in a long running series, like with Archie comics. (Looking at the “Echidna Man Incident” in particular as a prime example of these major shifts and fallouts…)
@@terminalvelocityrunner2202 Also even more extreme with the whole "SEGA of America and SEGA of Japan simply did NOT interact with them, and even today there's still a major split between the companies" thing which is the reason we have the whole Eggman vs Robotnik situation.

Edit 1:MOMMY IM FAMOUS!! (thank you)
That moment ALONE is so much of what I adore about EYX I love it so much
It's something that should be used more for anything "Sonic.EXE". Being more polite and talkative with the player, but everyone *in* the game knowing just how nightmarishly f_cked this all is. Tails and Eggman panicking, Knuckles having a legit fearful breakdown, Ray begging for help... It's honestly way more intimidating than Sonic.EXE trying to outright go for the player.

X/2011 deleted Eggman from existence due to the big jaw being a black hole
Lord X is technically 2011x, but 2011x isn't Lord X due to a string of events that made 2011x to Lord x due to being the first but 2011x isn't Lord X since he isn't the original like he said

I am so glad the character rights for X (Sonic.exe's name) were stripped from JCTheHyenASS and given to JoeDoughBoi and ASTRONOMICON. JoeDoughBoi's Sonic2011 (the current canon's replacement to the creepypasta) and SONIC PC PORT is genuinely such a fitting way to restart Sonic.exe as a whole. ESPECIALLY glad they got rid of THOSE parts of X (if you know you know)
oh also lord x from sonic pc port is just straight up x (as seen in 2011) but in the future years and years later.
OH ALSO:
theres not continuity in ALL games, some stuff is simply seperate takes/characters. But yes, X is Lord X.
There's continuity in the official shit, and the fanmade stuff is fanmade, whether or not it has its own seperate continuity.
I remember following Astronomicon after hearing she owns Sonic.EXE (cause there’s no way in Hell I’m supporting a degenerate creep.) and I like the idea she had of Sonix.EXE, a.k.a. Xenophanes, taking on a human disguise to toy with his victims in the real world.
I hope she continues the story
I thought it was strum/churgeney gurgeney?
@@slidersides That's their friend who also made songs about the character.
Actually (and this maybe confusing) Lord X IS indeed X from the future BUT Lord X is one of the futures that could happen to X if he did something that makes him Lord X

The best thing about Sonic.exe is that there isnt really a solid story that creators need to follow. You have the ones that are inspired like EYX and Lord X, then you have beasts like NeedleMouse, Shin Sonic, or No More Innocence that take things to a whole other level.
Whether absolute garbage or masterpieces, Sonic.exe just adds so much to a franchise I already obsess over. Man I love that hedgehog

best to treat sonic.exe as an internet community project rather than being the property of any one person. Since otherwise it just leaves a sour taste in your mouth; And gives the jerk too much credit
To my understanding, even the modern "official" lore doesn't even include that original creepypasta, as the rights to the character were changed.
One Last Round is actually finished to my knowledge, its stupidly good, probably the best of ANY sonic horror ever
On the Topic of 0:27 (unless it's brought up later) as of now Sonic.exe is under new Ownership and the OG Creator no longer has ownership. The New Design of Sonic.exe is named Xenophanes.

@@lucasrankin3990 Ok now I’m confused.
Flux said that the new design is named Xeno but you’re saying it’s 2011X, so what am I not understanding here?

Most of the sonic.exe community treat the haunted blue hedgehog has a big blue joke, but you actually feel the essence of this game. Hats off my friend for spread positivity over the horror content, bless ya.
I love how one last round makes it seem like Sonic just willingly gives a warning to anybody who plays. Also on the subtitles when he talks about the guy who pushed the boulder instead of it being the actual name its “copus”
So, I just saw an interesting Sonic.exe concept a while ago where it’s just a Metal sonic gone wild, taking Sonic’s skin and wearing it over its metallic body, but the idea of it being a Metal Sonic gone manic and out of control is an interesting concept.
"The original creepypasta from 2011 is my single least favorite piece of internet horror ever made."
the official 2017 remake of it. it gets so. so much worse. (not 2017x, x prime or whatever jc2017 was)
Who would've ever guessed?!?!
In the *right* and most adequate hands, ANY piece of media can go from trash to treasure with the right set of ideas, the good amount of care and dedication, and all the time it needs to become much MUCH better than what it originally was
Though like always, internet never forgets and maybe most people will stubbornly stick to the first impression Sonic.exe gave them, WHICH isn't bad either honestly, those people might serve to remind everyone of what JC did and what shouldn't be done in a horror story, but also having those concerning levels toxicity towards the devs of the new Sonic.exe versions is completely wrong and out of place since they're not at any fault of what the og creator did
Thank you Pastra, I hope this video is received better than how I think most ppl will take it
This is probably the best thing that could be said for sure.
The funniest thing is that Pastra barely even scratched the surface when it comes to Sonic.EXE. Y'all thought the Jeff the Killer OCs and re-imaginings were plentyful? Ooooooh boy, you guys aren't ready at alllllll. Even if the FNF mod is pretty infamous for jumping Sonic.EXE's popularity even higher than it ever was in the 2010s, it has so many different versions of the character and for a reason, and that's all without mentionning the many different horror Sonic related things that aren't connected to Sonic.EXE in any way whatsoever.
Here are some of my recommendations for people interested in trying out any horror Sonic thing, .EXE thing or not.
-Needlemouse, a UA-cam analog horror series that re-interprets Sonic.EXE, making Sonic not a demon but the ghost of a murdered girl taking revenge on her murderers. It is complete but has been deleted, as the creator, ShutUpJojo, is remaking it in a far different way. Still, the old version has all been compilled in a video, so definitely look it up if you can, it's pretty great imo.
-El Pendrive Azul. A spanish story that was created before Sonic.EXE was ever a thing. The original story is alright, but vibingleaf's fangame and subsequent video of it especially are a great remake of it that adds a twist that honestly keeps me up thinking of it sometimes.
-Shin Sonic/The Sonic Tapes. While you probably saw the endless brainrot that resulted from it getting popular, it's still a pretty great webseries here on UA-cam in it's own right. It's basically Sonic keeping his own abilities but slowly growing to become a Godzilla-level Kaiju threat.
You probably havent heard of this but, Theres a version of Sonic.Exe called “El Pendrive Azul (The Blue USB)” that turns the concept of Sonic being evil into the game being turned into Malware that was meant to kill players by giving them HORRIBLE seizures
not sonic.exe, literally came before the og one...
You forgot to mention that it is older than Exe.
El Pendrive was was made before sonic.exe,.
It's not a version of Sonic.exe, it is it's own completely original thing. Shit, the OG pasta CAME BEFORE Sonic.exe.
Fun Fact: El Pendrive Azul came out years before SONIC.exe
I'm supposed to focus on the scary blue rat but like I just look at Pastra's desktop and just seeing an absolute mess
47:40 Pastra spontaneously bursts into song, complete with rhyming lyrics.
To give a bit more context, the Sonic.exe from SONIC 2011 is called 2011x, or X for short. He WILL become Lord X in the future (the one from PC PORT).
A lot of EXEs can be related in some ways, you should totally check more outside of the games. Like EXE/Faker, who is a entity created by X, but was banned by him, due to being "no fun". Or Lord Mortis, who is a alternate version of X, who got defeated by another upper being.
Glad to see you're starting to love EXEs stuff :) I would highly suggest checking content related to Rewrite, he's one of the most creative and cool EXE out there.
Pretty sure Joe said something along the lines of Lord X always being 2011X, but 2011X not always being Lord X. Joe also made an official chart showing how each of the main continuities connect and branch off.
@myst1que_mach1ne Yup. If i'm correct, X have a lot of variants, Lord X just being one of them, and possibly one of the most popular ones.
Or Starved eggman , that creepypasta was peak
54:58 “ok try ultrakill now” I saw my people lmao go play it it’s supper fun
So the EXE fanbase has been working for years to make good fan-made material for him meanwhile his “official” stuff is hated by the majority of the public?
Wow, he really is like Sonic, just with more understandable hate
Not really, JC's stuff is no longer canon. The character and story rights were stripped away from JC and given to JoeDoughBoi and AstranomiconX.
YES! One of us! One of us!
Why people like Sonic.exe is pretty similar to your reasons for your eyeless jack video so I had a feeling with time, you would change your mind. The original creepypasta is bad, but its always been the community that made the character interesting and gave the demon spiky new life
What I love the most about this video is that the story about Sonic.exe’s many fan games compared to the original story is that it is indicative of the Sonic fanbase as both can make the absolute best projects outta some admittedly bad stuff.
So basically, I believe there are three exes that split off from X(the first one).
He can either become Lord X, who is wiser, more careful, and more honorable to a degree, or he can become Lord Mortis, who is X after getting soundly trounced by Bandado, who is an exe that takes the form of Eggman. Lord Mortis specifically is much more courteous and mature and is probably the only version of him you can call 'good' because he was so severely humbled.
Lord X ends up creating EXE, who is another being entirely, and the seven Guardians, who watch his realm while he's playing his games. Those are the connections I think.
don't forget 2017X, who's just X but he fully convinced himself he IS sonic
☝️🤓 erm actually X created EXE before the events of SONIC 2011

Oh hello sus deltaroon :)
I'd highly recommend watching a yt video called 'The misunderstood canon of sonic.exe'. It's an 1hr long video that explains all the mainline (ones that people are interested in) current canons of sonic.exe. It's very much a split timeline scenario, where one canon is a what if from the original and others are what if from other EXE's. One of my favourite exe's that's up and coming is lord morbius (or mobius?). It's essentially if another entity took over 2011X's game and inhabits eggman. This different entity steals all of 2011X's powers and humbles him, so much so that he's technically the goodish guy in this one, who helps the player try to escape from the new entity.

Sonic.exe is terrible at its core, but the potential to build upon it is amazing. The Sonic fanbase is so vast that there's definitely some talented content creators out there who can deliver the most interesting takes. The Horror Fandom intersects so nicely with Sonic, especially when it canonically has some weird and creepy monsters in the canon.
Mephiles, Infinite, Time Eater, Dark Gaia, The End and even Black Doom are fantastic enemies that deal in some kind of manipulation, world warping, body horror, and reality distortion, meaning that the idea of an entity that can infect your game file isn't too far out of the realm of possibility.
I think a Sonic horror game could be great.
What I think would be cool would be a fangame about shadows storyline and sonic.exe. It'd be interesting seeing a character as wholly malicious as Black Doom interact with Sonic.exe. I don't see him being scared like Robotnik, or even trying to stop X, but trying and fail to exploit him, either by turning him to black doom's cause or doing a mob boss thing where sonic.exe keeps his own slice of earth to play with his "toys" but BD gets the planet. There's a lot of fun stuff you could do there IMO
Not to mention there's a lot of sore spots in Shadow's past X could hit to torment him.
Sega fans are just really talented at taking poor products and/or unfinished work and turning it into peak

Also like damn that first one was dope as hell
It's still so funny how he was like "Hey i'm gonna try and be fair to these games and I don't want any of you harassing the devs when I don't like the games" and then he loved all the games he played.
Alright pasta i finally figured out what the hell chat meant by find a shovel, you need undertale mod manager because it can be used on most sonic fan games because theire engines run similarly, in the code of the game is text implying two boys, or men, way in over their head have killed something and want to find it on green mountain, one boy asks the other "hey, you got the shovel?"
The other responds "no, i left in it the car"
Thw youtuber pappo just did a great video on it, really good stuff, totally worth a watch
Really glad you gave the fandom another chance.
21:41 - 22:14 FUN FACT: The track used here is from the PS2 game Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil. It's called "Hyuponia/Ruin of Sadness", and it's trippy. Only the intro to the track is used, but I'm still glad it got used in a creepypasta game, it was practically made for it. I know I posted this comment on the VOD too, but I just think it's that cool of a detail. ^.^
i just love the creator said "SONIC.EXE WILL LIVE FOREVER"....and it DID! he was crazy sure, mean yes, story telling skills NONE....but he was right. thats the part that scares me....that he...WAS RIGHT.
Unfortunately for JC, he'll never taste victory as he lost ownership of Sonic.exe to one of his victims and is booted off the internet, FOREVER.
And it turns out he a was groomer mcgroomy man
@@averynormalacount2887 oh...thats bad.
@@leopoldosoto779 serves him right to be honest. if he was still incharge it would have died long ago.
@@leopoldosoto779 he said he doesn't care about that and is extremely happy his creation is still alive, hes still on discord. You can tell cause he speaks with emoticons and those uwu things as he types
Green mountain has a lot of hidden stuff in the game files that reveals a small amount of the games story. I believe it is getting an official sequel but what we have now is very cool and intriguing. I'd recommend watching some of the deep dives about the game on youtube. Also just wanted to say this video and the rest of your videos are amazing and I can't wait to see more of content!
The sequels out. But I don't think you can download it anymore.
@OttoMatson the sequel is theorised to be false and made by someone else. If you want more info I would recommend pappos video on green mountain where he goes over this.
@OgMorrow28 Huh. Didn't know people thought it was a different story.
"He's too fast for me!" A line meant to be taken seriously.
I don't blame anyone for not wanting to go near Sonic.exe. The whole shit with the creater and the original story aside, the game which was most people's first time hearing about Sonic.exe was honestly boring.
It's literally just walk right to see gore of your comfort character and you don't even see anything of it.
Then there's the whole believability of it.
The game is meant to be exactly how the story explained it, but the imagery doesn't make a whole lot of sense if it was supposed to be from an old videogame.
I have a hard time believing games back then could even attempt at making high quality images like that.
The oldest console i have is a PS1 and even when games on that have images or videoes they're pretty low quality. Cutscenes are often like a UA-cam video at 240p at best
If I'm watching a videogame creepypasta, i prefer everything to be designed in a way that i could believe it being in the game.
Like the Godzilla NES one. The monster in that genuinely looked like it could be part of the game.
I can't imagine a hacked copy of the classic Sonic games having extremely high quality images in them.
Hey Pastra, you should try out The Sprits of Hell. It’s a Sonic.exe game where your choices matter and you can actually save these characters.
I think Sonic.EXE is a good example of how dedicated Sonic fans are. Like this is the same community that turned something like Sonic 06, a game that absolutely destroyed the series' reputation at the time, into one of the best experiences you can have playing a Sonic game. So it's kinda beautiful seeing a hilarously awful creepypasta be the starting point of some genhinely great fan horror games.
That sponsor transition made me wonder how a fight between Sonic.exe and NordVPN would play out
It's over sonic, I have the high ground
You underestimate my power Nord
X faces a villain even more unstoppable than he is - capitalism.
"The power of money wins once again"
" Sonic ? . . . Satan ? ! "
-Pastra 2024
Satanos in a nutshell
I’ve said it before and ill say it again, what makes X so interesting is the fact that he IS very versatile. In the aspect that anyone really could make a better story for him, in his 50+ variants of him, theirs really great ones
X is here to stay until everyone will forget. Btw love ya vid’s mate, was in stream saying this shit too lol
31:25 "Sonic?.. SATAN?!" That killed me 😆
Pastra went from despising it to actually finding a liking for it.
I love how according to the creator, lord x can canonically play the piano.
Redemption arc goes Crazy!
I like how green mountain is watching pastra turn into jeff the killer
Finally he realized the peak that Sonic.exe is
To be honest, my favorite rendition of sonic.exe is OMT. And not just because I love the extra limbs and the bodies that he makes that are similar to sonic, but obviously not.
I will never like Sonic exe but I think the fact people are making new ideas and making it more intriguing is awesome. Glad to see how creative people can get beyond the red eyes.
So you respect this new takes but you'll never actually like them?
@ Yes.
I like how he’s actually keeping up with the lore because that’s something most people tend to ignore. Hope you get to see the yt stuff too because a lot of those are AMAZING. (Sonic limited cartridge and speedduo64 are great.)
No you weren’t wrong about Sonic.exe it’s just that the fans took the terrible original source material and made it amazing.
Sonic.exe honestly a kinda crazy story of how a terrible source material can still thrive and become amazing with passionate fans.
Yeah they said that the original story was trash at the beginning of the video
From hating it to loving it. Crazy
If You're On Your Exe Arc, Something Similar Is Horrorbrews (Basically EXEs But Marios)
Basically, PLAY MARIO 85.
It Doesn't Fuck With Your PC Don't Worry.
ALSO, Too Late.EXE
@i_like_videogames9517 Yeah
Wait, did Pastra include the clip where he learns that X chose Sonic because of a hyperfixation? That clip is the highlight of the stream and we went right past it here.
Damn Pastras’s hitting the big leagues with the NordVPN ad. Can’t deny they deserve it!
48:40 Ah yes, Sonic's famous catchphrase, "Nice and slow"
i will still never forgive sonic.exe (whichever one had endings) for making the egregious claim that super sonic can beat sonic.exe but the guy who can punch the invincible dude so hard he knocks the super out of his name somehow gets his butt wiped
The only ones I can think of that have endings are Sonic.exe Corruption Chaos, Sonic.exe Nightmare Beginning, Sally.exe Eye of Three and Sonic.exe Sprits of Hell. I don't know which ones have the super sonic fight all these games have endings as far as I know. Hope this helps.
I mean Sonic has been implied in the actual series lore to be basically a chosen one with a strong link to the emeralds, yes it's also plot armour but still, that happened when Sonic was young, I wouldn't be surprised if Knuckles was unable to do so anymore, it happening from the ancients tech in Frontiers makes a lot more sense since the emeralds came from their planet and they found Mobius/Earth/Planet Freedom take your pick, due to the master emerald acting as a homing signal
If you can't tell I'm a Sonic nerd and just wanted to add my thoughts of why this could be beyond well plot
2:30 ad,,,adventure ,,,, like sonic adventure ,,,,, sonic adventure 2 featuring shadow the hedgehog ,,,,,,
Holy shit
Shadow the hedgehog....like shadow the hedgehog......
@@Benji_The_Hedgehogdear god
The scariest part of this whole video is finding out that Pastra plays League of Legends
15:07 the SECOND WE GOT HERE i was immediately filled with a humorous dread more comparable to dramatic irony. i was there while this moment happened in the stream and it was like watching a character do the wrong decision in a horror movie and knowing you can’t do anything about it
Okay, the absolute RAW POWER AND EMOTION that got put into the "holey shit!" at roughly 20:45 was so palpable, i felt it before i had my own reaction to just giggle like an idiot. I felt that 'holey shit' man
To me, I think the VHS series "Needlemouse" did the original story justice. I don't want to spoil the VHS series for anyone, (since I want people to make their own judgment on it), but if anyone is asking, then yes, this series is better then the original story by a mile long. You can't find the original playlist for it anymore, because the original creator took it down. But if anyone wants to find a reuploaded playlist of Needlemouse with the full 13 eps in it, then the playlist made by "Fleetway: The Bringer of Chaos" should be your best bet.
This series is sometimes overshowed by all of the other EXE's in this fandom. But I think it deserves a chance.
whyd they take it down
@@based980 the creator of needlemouse is now making a new sonic creepypasta that is separate from needlemouse, the deleted needlemouse because they were very dissatisfied with the quality of needlemouse, though they were being hard on themselves tbh.
@doginthedark I don't think they were- Needlemouse has an absolute truckload of writing problems, its execution horror wise is often so bad it's hysterical, and Episode 4 Season 1 is genuinely really really bad. And though I haven't seen their new EXE yet, I'm honestly excited to see what they do with better skills in horror, art, and writing. Because they've got strengths! Their artstyle is great, their dialogue is mostly good, the ideas are strong. The writing and execution in Needlemouse though... Left a lot to be desired.
(Please please please don't take this as a personal attack- I just really feel like Needlemouse doesn't get criticized enough. Or ever. I don't think it's good at all, but if you like it, that's fine.)
@@joyflameball I'm so glad someone put my criticisms into a form that actually makes sense. Bless ye.
In my opinion, the ending of Needlemouse is clearly rushed. I can see why JoJo is not satisfied with this series and wants a reboot. That's why Speedduo64 exists.
