December 31st, 2024 Question Timestamps: ------------------------------------------ 1:25 - I'm assuming "timey wimey, wibbly wobbly" is the answer here, but perhaps you can explain this at least a little bit. Mephiles's existence in Shadow Generations had me thinking about how he seemed to know that he no longer existed since he states that he wants to exist. Without the Time Eater's shenanigans, does the erased Mephiles consciously exist in a state of erasure, or was he simply brought back and, due to his own time powers, was able to recognize that he was once erased from existence? 2:01 - In a scenario where Cosmo lived, do Tails and Cosmo live happily ever after? Does Cosmo fill the workshop with endless flowers? Does Tails ever teach Cosmo how to fly the Tornado? If you can share any wholesome post-season 3 Tailsmo fluff you can conjure up for the answer to my final Sonic question on the BumbleKast, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks! 2:36 - The end of Sonic X Shadow Generations seemed like a perfect opportunity for Shadow to let loose in a way he hasn't been able to for a long time: namely, dropping the Limiter Rings and hitting Doom with everything he's got. However, even during the excellent final battle he still doesn't remove the limiters. If an occasion like this year of Shadow wasn't enough, when should we expect a return of the Chaos Blast if at all? 3:13 - Any update on Lost Hedgehog Tales in 2025? I know there's likely some Legal Tape keeping it back, so is there any estimation on how much longer? Would your standing with SEGA affect being able to release it when the time is right? We must know what happened to THE Hero Bivalve! Also when Sally and Nicole had their wedding!!! THESE ARE THE FACTS WE MUST KNOW IAN!!! 4:25 - Good news everyone! Omega and Bender Bending Rodriguez from Futurama have become best friends, how do they influence each other and what do they do during a bot’s night out? (if possible try to imitate Professor Farnsworth's voice when saying "Good news everyone!", thanks!) 6:13 - Omega has discovered the world of Vanity Voice Processors! After browsing through a catalog with the rest of Team Dark, he has settled on four possibilities: Dalek Emperor The Dalek Emperor Compilation, RobCo Industries Sentry Bot Fallout 4 sentry bot voices , HK-47 The Best of HK-47 (KOTOR I), or Cephalon Simaris Warframe - All Simaris Lines (Update 38). Which does he ultimately choose, and what would Rouge and Shadow's opinions be on his short-list of options? 7:04 - If sonic is sooooo fast, how has he not seen everything on Earth yet? Realistically he should've already discovered the Starfall Islands before SA1! This is assuming the planet is as big as ours and not Minecraft sized. 8:03 - How would Shard handle being given full command of the Metal Sonic Troopers? Would he give them copies of his personality? If so, how does Nicole handle all the many new suitors? 9:19 - I was reading your run of Archie Sonic, and noticed a pattern in the arcs. Scourge and Fiona invert their recent story beats. Mogul gets a real win. The politics of the setting see a major shift AWAY from succession drama. Knuckles gains the divine power he lacked in Return to Angel Island. All inversions of events & themes in previous stories, in roughly reverse order. Was this a conscious decision, or is this just my fixation for narrative structure making me see things? 10:50 - Shadow Generations Movie DLC spoilers: As Shadow was speeding through the Tokyo stage, he mentions how the city is like how Maria described the Earth. Did Shadow temporarily gain some of his movie counterpart’s memories? If not, then why was Shadow acting like he was never on Earth before? 11:13 - Will we ever know the canon path to Shadow the Hedgehog game since the only known canon path is the last story? 11:42 - In both the recent twitter takeover and Shadow Generations, it was implied Shadow likes Classic Sonic more than Modern due to his silence. My question is: how would a day between Classic Sonic and Shadow go? 12:13 - How would Maria get along with Boom Shadow? Could she fix him? 13:10 - Sonic Adventure 2 What if time! One thing I noticed when playing SA2 and Shadow Generations is that Eggman and Sonic are somewhat opposites of Maria and Shadow. My question is : how would life on the Ark be if young Ivo was on the Ark with Maria , and Gerald made Sonic Ivo's ultimate life - form buddy along with Shadow? 13:55 - Bowser manages to Defeat blaze thx to superior strength and fire res, he promises to spare her people if she marries him, she reluctantly agrees. Which of Blaze's friends comes to save her and who comes excited for a wedding? 15:11 - I was wondering whether you see anyone in the Sonic cast (both games and comics) as neurodivergent? I had Silver being autistic in mind, but any other characters you wish to speak on would also be welcome. 15:53 - Tangle has finally convinced you to let her go on a date with Whisper. However, your one request is that they go out with a chaperone. It’s Kyle. Do you trust him to keep them safe and can they find romance in the back of his car? 16:58 - Here’s another [[CROSSED]] Over special: Spamton in [[Sonic Boom]]! Can this [[Colorful Bunch]] of familiar yet different friends, Enemies, and the additional [[BADGER BADGER BADGER]] keep this under control? 18:47 - So something me and Kyle agreed on is that champions is probably your best arc. What I want to know is will you ever write a tournament arc in any future works? Preferably in one of your original works 20:37 - One of my favourite lines in Sonic boom was "Normally, I'm a pacifist, but today, I'm passing fists!". How would you incorporate Og the Froglodyte into Mainline? 21:42 - Does Vanilla swear when Cream isn't around? Actually, what DOES Vanilla do when Cream is off saving the world? When she has a day all to herself, what does the best (and only) mom get up to? 22:55 - Mr. Flynn, Your mission is to Recast Red vs Blue with Sonic Characters. No restrictions on continuity except Sonic is Caboose and Knuckles is Sarge. Thank you for your time. From the Director of Project Freelancer 26:18 - forget about answering my questions on sonic lore Ian, what are some burning questions you yourself wonder about the sonic series? Maybe about a character or story elements you've always wondered about and would love to see answered or elaborated in future or even get to write yourself. 28:12 - With the Year of Shadow coming to an end, who do you think would deserve their own dedicated year, and more interesting, who do you think could carry their own year the way Shadow did? 30:32 - Let's say some of Sonic's allies and rivals (namely Team Dark, Lanolin, Whisper, Espio, Surge and Kit) are sick of how he always handles Eggman, and decide to destroy him themselves, while Sonic and the others are forced to protect him. How does the conflict play out? 31:17 - how would Espio comfort tangle if she was sad? And how would she respond? Assuming that they are close. 31:58 - It’s a farewell to Scourge, Fiona and the gang, so I'll give them a farewell cake. How will Scourge and Fiona react and what will their final words be to their fans? 32:18 - I know the Zeti were based on oni during the development of sonic lost world but their species was changed because of sega of America so my question is would you say there are still oni/demons or would you say they are now their own unique species special to the sonic universe? 33:03 - In one of the trailers for Sonic movie 3, we see a shot of Shadow and Maria sitting together at night in a field of flowers, similar to the shots seen in Dark Beginnings Episode 3. Was this shared imagery synergy between the two projects or just coincidental? 33:31 - From what I’ve seen from Gerald’s Journal, the biolizard seems to have been a preexisting salamander (which is an amphibian not reptile; so inaccurate name there) that was modified using genetics, cybernetics and chaos mysticism. My question is: was Shadow grown from the ground up with hedgehog mobian and black arms dna or was he a pre-existing hedgehog that was modified with alien DNA & chaos technology? 34:22 - Sonic Boom time! This time, it is Plants vs. Zombies! How does it go and occur, where do the zombies come from, and is Dave the Intern crazy? Bonus points if we get to hear Dave doing the weird gibberish noises. 36:13 - So in a previous BumbleKast, Ian was spitballin' some ideas on the concept of Phazon Surge, so I'm just gonna run a little bit with that scenario for a VS fight: Phazon Surge v. Whisper w/ Majora Mask. Round 2.... ready... FIGHT! 38:22 - When it comes to Sonic Boom characters, everyone talks about Sticks and Dave as characters they want to see in the mainline stuff for obvious reasons. But what is your opinion on Perci the Bandicoot? Would she be worthwhile to see in the mainline stuff or does she overlap too much with other characters' gimmicks? How do you imagine her bouncing off some of the other characters? 39:43 - Not so much a question, just something fun I wanted to share. In Issue #25 Page 13 of IDW Sonic, Cream stops Whisper from stealthily sniping Eggman from afar. The line reads, “Please don’t! Ms. Whisper”, As in “Don’t do this, Whisper!”… However, I for whatever reason originally misread the line as, “Please don’t miss, Whisper!” As in, “Only one shot, better make it count, Whisper!” I snapped the book shut and couldn’t stop laughing for like 30 minutes until I realized… no, that did not happen. Sooo… question then, uh… thoughts? *(The rest of the questions + outtakes are in the replies)*
The rest of the questions (some were cut down to fit btw): ------------------------------------------ 40:29 - Now that the Knuckles special is out and we've returned to the Northstar Islands, can you explain if or how the Emerald Powers are related to Chaos Control? 40:41 - With everyone obviously asking about the story and lore of Shadow Generations, I'm curious, how are you two enjoying the actual video game? Have you two beaten it? 100%-ed it? S-ranked everything? D-ranked everything? What's your favorite part? Etc. 41:27 - Why do Sonic fans keep forcing what should be 'canon' on the rest of the fandom, even when said canon isn't exactly well written , as they themselves often criticize it for? like do they actually want a canon or not? and why should anyone who disagrees be forced to accept it? 43:34 - Since the stage titles exist diegetically in Shadow Generations' cutscenes, is the city Sonic was in actually called "City Escape"? Is there really a place called "Radical Highway"? 44:31 - Does Mephiles have Black Arms DNA in him? 44:52 - Uh, oh! Sonic and Eggman have been captured by a new big bad, and this time it's up to Tangle and Sage to save the day. How well do they work together, how does it go, and what do they think of each other by the end? 45:50 - How would you have canonized Chomps from Sonic Underground into the Reboot Archie Sonic lore? Like would Knuckles just have a Dinosaur friend he's never mentioned before or would he be more primal/pet esc cuz he's a Dinosaur? 47:55 - Surge discovers something…unpleasant for her. Turns out, if she sleeps next to Sonic, she has no recurring nightmares, and sleeps better than she does without him. And it ONLY works with Sonic. Don’t ask how she found out, it was a stupid, platonic, accident that TANGLE WON’T SHUT UP ABOUT! How mad is she, and how does she handle it? 48:33 - Welp, I suppose I must ask this now before it is too late, and that it's about my OTP: What would a relationship between Mother Wisp and Chaos be like? 49:18 - In your opinion, did all Robians have the same arm-strength as Bunnie Rabbot in the SatAM and original Archie continuities, and we were just never in a good position for it to come up? Or did her roboticization make her a "stronger model" of robot? Or was she naturally athletic and the roboticizer just enhanced her? Please rationalize this quandary that barely predates Metal Sonic (and would she win an arm wrestling contest against Metal Sonic?). 51:08 - In Sonic Issue 252, as Sally remembers her Pre-Genesis history, she goes to Nicole for comfort when coping with her trauma instead of Sonic who she earlier pushed away. Later in the Post-Genesis run, Sally and Nicole became strangely a lot closer while the interactions with Sonic and Sally were more like acquaintances. Other than the restrictions imposed by Sega, why didn't you give a lot more screen time for Sonic and Sally interactions like Pre-Genesis? I missed their relationship and dynamic. 52:00 - Now here's a pitch, Neo Diamond Cutters in a nickelodeon like sitcom. What goofy shenanigans would the trio get themselves into and would the audience cheer when Jewel makes an appearance? 53:35 - How about [a] shipping question for old time’s sake? I know out of all the types of Sonic questions you get, you'll miss answering these ones the most. Though don't cry because it's gone, smile because it's happened. Now, let's say Sonic and Amy finally become a couple! How does everyone react and more importantly, which characters won/lost money due to betting on if/when they'd become one? 54:27 - Sonic Generations, adapted for the Preboot Archie continuity! What’d the team-up between the gag era and modern Freedom Fighters be like? What locations from previous arcs would be represented? What would a PROPER team up between Robotnik and Eggman be like? 55:57 - Early one morning in the Boom Universe, Sonic finds, on his porch, a cradle! Inside, he finds a... baby. Well, it's a can of peas dressed up like a baby. And it's beeping. Over a radio also nestled within the 'child', Eggman reveals his most bizarre plot yet! Sonic and Shadow have to team up to raise this can of peas. They must treat it like a child, including all associated care. If they don't, there's enough explosives in that can of peas to take out the whole island. How does it go? PS: the can of peas is named Penelopea. 57:20 - Sonic 3 movie spoilers (barely): it's shown that Shadow has SOME exposure to television and movies. Given that the movies openly acknowledge pop references, how would you envision a scene where Shadow and Maria were at a tea party with the Golden Girls? 58:05 - A while back, I asked if Shadow would dance to save the world. I had the Elite Beat Agents in mind. Now, with confirmation that you know who they are…The EBA are fighting a galactic threat; the only way they can win is if Shadow helps. Will he join them? He has to wear the suit. 58:40 - I’ve been patiently waiting for more focus on Tails in IDW and I still feel like we haven’t gotten much in that regard. He appears a lot, but he’s often just there, doing his usual genius schtick without contributing much else. […] Why’s there little focus on Tails’ character and his relationships with characters besides Sonic? IDW Team, Please give Tails more. 59:26 - We've seen Dr Eggman team up with different versions of himself throughout history.. but what would a team up between Modern Eggman, Prime's Mr Dr Eggman, and Boom Eggman be like? 1:00:47 - Back when Sonic Heroes came out I had no internet access, and the last Sonic game I'd had available to me before Heroes was Sonic 2! So as someone that had no idea who more than half the characters in Heroes were and knew no other Sonic fans, I wanted to ask: what was it like being an active Sonic fan at the time? […] 1:04:04 - Kirk Thornton once voiced legendary Lilo and Stitch villain Dr. Jacques von Hamsterviel in the dub of the anime. Because of this, I feel obligated to ask: How would a fight between the Ultimate LIfe Form and Experiment 626 go down? 1:06:02 - Did commander tower know that shadow was being held by gun before SA2 and if he did, why pin everything on sonic? 1:06:22 - With you working more closely with sega and the stars lined up for abraham towers name, is it possible more former sonic characters could be brought back from archie/satam/fleetway? Also, is there a way I could get you to autograph my sonic megaman world collide GN? 1:07:47 - In Shadow Generations it's revealed that if another chaos control user is affected by Time Stop, they can nullify it with their own Chaos Control. Is this specifically a Chaos Energy Vs Chaos Energy type deal or would a Chaos User be able to nullify other versions of time stop not related to chaos energy or the emeralds? 1:08:12 - It’s time for another body swap question! This time it’s Amy and her car Breeze. How does Breeze handle being a biped having to do all the things a biped needs to do to stay alive and how does Amy handle being a car SEGA forgot about 30 years ago? 1:09:18 - How would you write a story where Cream is both the main villain and final boss? No mind control/clones/etc, just Cream. And how would you somehow keep this story to the status quo of the series? 1:09:53 - If Shadow was a Venom-style symbiote bound to Sonic and they had to work together permanently, how would it go? Shadow can't leave because he needs Sonic to survive. And no he can't just choose to die, even if that would be extremely funny. Although it could be another character 1:11:10 - In the Tokyo stage in Shadow Generations, Shadow says Tokyo "looks like how Maria described the Earth." This statement seems strange, considering Shadow has seen the Earth for more than 6 months. Does this mean that 50 years ago Sonic-Earth looked like 2024 Real Earth? 1:11:33 - In Shadow Generations, Black Doom calls him by his full name for the first time. To my knowledge the only other time he has so much as called Shadow a hedgehog was in Last Story, so this can be read as earned respect. Sonic's quote off with Shadow also avoids attacking Shadow's right to his identity as a hedgehog. Good man Sonic! But Metal Overlord does use the phrase "Fake Hedgehog" to describe Shadow. We know from the Egg Memos that Eggman respects identities, so is it possible that Metal Sonic always has a voice box but just never says anything that doesn't trigger all the censorship software… If so how would Sonic, Amy, Surge, Vanilla, Scrapnik Sonic, and Starline react to learning Metal Sonic was literally just too bad a person to ever bypass censorship? 1:13:01 - Are the Sonic characters toilet trained? Bodily functions aren't shown in Sonic media nor do characters comment on their bowel movements. I triple-checked the master list and found no answer. THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW, IAN! DO THEY USE TOILETS? 1:14:03 - At what point during the ARK raid was Maria shot? It seems to differ based on the retelling, and SA2 barely even shows her being shot if at all? 1:14:30 - I saw in an archived Archie webpage that Rotor was meant to have an older brother, name unknown, who disappeared and was presumed roboticized when their dad Sherman died. Did you know of this, and if so, would you have introduced him had pre-SGW Archie continued? 1:16:03 - What is one aspect you love about each of the main Freedom Fighters? (Those being Sally, Bunnie, Rotor, Antoine, and Nicole) 1:18:49 - Starline's isekai adventures continue! This time our favorite platypus finds himself face-planting head first into the events of Black Knight, unintentionally summoned by Merlina! How far does he make it? ------------------------------------------ 1:20:54 - Outtake 1 1:21:09 - Outtake 2 1:21:20 - Outtake 3 1:22:20 - Outtake 4
For the question at 30:32, here are a list of episodes that touch on similar topics. Unfortunately, I believe this is the first time this specific question has been asked, so this list probably won’t cover everything the questioner wanted to know. Sorry about that. How Sonic would protect Eggman from Omega: October 23rd, 2023 - Sonic Says "Let's Go, Gamers!" (at 22:27) How Sonic would act if a group tries to get at Eggman: January 2nd, 2023 - New Year's Bumblin' Eve (at 1:47:21) How Espio, Whisper and Shadow would act in the situation: November 25th, 2022 (BK Mini) - The Croco-Kremling Battle! (at 0:51)
@@subjectnivleis7572 Are you looking for this question? 1:06:22 With you working more closely with sega and the stars lined up for abraham towers name, is it possible more former sonic characters could be brought back from archie/satam/fleetway? Also, is there a way I could get you to autograph my sonic megaman world collide GN?
The final Sonic episode at least for now. Has been truly great and we appreciate all your insight and answers. Also yes mr. Flynn people would very much like to know more about Blaze and her dimension as well as the Lost Hex and Zeti race.
1:04:28 "He'll punt it and that'll be the end of it, to which *Sticks* says something along the lines [Stitch speak] and, y'know, hits him with a bus." I know it was an accidental misspeak, but Lilo & Sticks would be amazing.
Well. It’s been fun. Have fun Ian and Kyle and the rest of the bumblekrew. I hope you still will enjoy the bumblekast without Sonic. I will always enjoy your banter together. Here’s to new heights! I’ll check in every once in a while. Stay safe and happy new year!
58:05 It's funny how things work out. I got this in right before the announcement, and didn't even expect it to get answered after. I was just gonna let you guys keep the five dollars! Now, whenever I think back to the Sonic Era of the Bumblekast, I'll think of Shadow in a suit, dancing and posing to save the world. I think that's as good a note as any to leave off on.
Good luck to Ian, Kyle, and the BumbleKrew in the new year! Excited to see what y'all have cookin' up. --- Steamed Hams references this episode: 0 Total since count began: 21 Total references to counter: 3
If Amy and breeze can beep, then they can use Morse code by alternating the length of the beeps between short beeps and long beeps to do Morse code, but that assumes either of them know how Morse code works well enough to communicate fully
This may have been the end of Starline's Isekai Adventures here, but they will continue on in our hearts. I mean, he'll find SOMEWAY for the Isekai Adventures to continue, intentional or not, only it's up to the folks at home to figure it out.
35:18 There actually is a Plants vs Zombies comic series. It's pretty good, but doesn't add much story about where the zombies came from. Just kinda wacky adventures with Crazy Dave, Zomboss, and other characters.
If and when the bumble cast can talk about sonic more, I think it would be cool to have Evan Stanley on as I guess so that she can answer questions about her character, characters and IDW stuff, especially Belle
Shadow vs. Stitch wasn't a matchup I was expecting, but damn it sounds hilarious. While I hope Sonic questions can return someday, it'll be interesting to ask about other topics. Maybe it's time for some Turtle Power?
Well, Sonic questions may be ending (for now, anyway), but Bumblekast is still a fun thing to watch. I'll never get tired of. Also question, questions from UA-cam are still not allowed, right? Or did that change at some point?
@J.R.Unbound alrighty then. Y'know, even though most people come for Ian and maybe Kyle, but you also are a pretty fun part of the Bumblekast. I can't wait to see more of you guys in the future!
🎉 *See you guys in 2025!* 😮 I'll continue to be part of this wonderful community you build. Both ian/Kyle and *EVERYONE* who made a appearance or a collab in the show became a positive part of my life This year ❤ . Thank you all for the laughts 😂 and the knowlegde you Share With us the fans of comics - Novels - Games - Music. 🎉 *The BumbleKing Prevails* 😊 .... and last but not least. *ADIOS Sonic Related Questions.*
It's really funny to hear how the perception of SA2 changed over time. I was definitely one of those kids who played Heroes and was a bit disappointed at the thin story. Because I was just coming off of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, which to my child's mind both had these grand plots with deep backstories that were emotional and absolutely epic. I'm sure the perception of various games is highly influenced by what specific Sonic games a particular fan started with. I'm definitely an Adventure-era fan all the way. I've been enjoying Sonic Frontiers and Shadow Generations for starting to return to more of that flavor of Hedgehogging. I really dropped off around the Colors and Lost World phase.
Belle is the important character that was not mentioned in Sonic Frontiers. Belle has Eggman’s indirect creation with the latest AI. Sage is the latest by Eggman that I know brings him back memories of when he created Belle as Mr. Tinker. He erased Belle’s memories, but kept the most powerful algorithm that was in Belle. A side of Sage that still deems him “father” was formerly Belle.
No one tell them Plants Vs Zombies had a tie-in comic… 35:24 Edit: I really need to watch the whole video before commenting. 😔 Lesson in looking before you leap.
I think you could potentially do a "year of" with Knuckles but like Ian mentions it would need more work. There's a lot of interesting material with Knuckles' being the last echidna, the mesoamerican coded ancient echidna tribes, and the themes of archeology, exploring ancient ruins, etc. There's the premise for a treasure hunting exploration game hidden in there somewhere. Whatever it is I feel like it'd be a very different type of gameplay than the current formula 3D sonic/shadow levels use. I'd like Sega to explore Knuckles' backstory more and find a way for him to conceivably responsibly leave Angel Island now and then, but not sure they'll ever get around to it.
58:40 Seriously? SERIOUSLY??? 2024 was the year of Shadow, and all he got was a little embarrassment in 900th. If we count everything post-50, he played a bigger role in Urban Warfare. In the same period (50-75), Tails had: Overpowered, Urban Warfare, his 30th anniversary, rest of Scrapnik Island, Winter Jam, Spring Broken, Halloween, Fang Mini, 900th, Phantom Rider arc and issue 68. No game character (Sonic aside) gets half of the love, but poor little fox still needs more? Stop whining and learn to appreciate what you have, Cream fans would kill for that much. Some of those appearances boil down to "techno exposition" but that's still maybe half of it. Dude punked Zavok, survived alone Metal Virus, talked down Kit, saved Sonic from Wendy and crashed planet into Metal Overlord. IDW treats him well.
This is truly the end of an era. But start of anew I’m not going anywhere btw I’m going to continue to ask silly questions that are not related to the blue rat xD
Shadow this is what you wanted isn’t it Maria an end to the Sonic questions ….am going to miss them…wait minute no I will not but the Big the cat questions can they live on in my heart.
Not an official question, just curious, but are questions mentioning Sonic (though not about it) alr? Like asking for writing advice and comparing it to something done in Archie, for example
Someone needs to make a “canon path” mod for shad05, instead of the mission-based, choose-your-own-adventure style of the original game, it’s structured like a regular sonic game, with modified levels more suited for non-mission focused linear gameplay, having more levels than the typical shad05 route.
Will Sonic questions ever return on the bumblekast? Will Ian ever get the Shadow death quote right? WILL IAN EVER UNBLOCK ME ON BLUESKY???? Find out next year... On the Bumblekast!! *DBZ Cartoon network outro*
Are you kidding me? I was sixth in line on the free q&a last stream, and they didnt get to me. That means they did 3 free questions last stream. If mine sucked, say so and kick it off, but come on. 75 questions were given on their last attempt, and you didnt even get to 5%.
I understand the frustration, and I'm sorry your question didn't make it into the cut. but you have to also realize that ahead of your free question, there were 100+ people that paid to have questions answered and those have to be dealt with first which eats up the limited time they have. not to mention finishing any other priority questions from youtube membs, patreon, kofi, etc. Ian and Kyle still have jobs and lives outside of this, they devoted as much time as they could to cover as many questions as possible.
@caswellweird i would be less upset if the free questions were not an option. If it was a super chat only stream, sure, ok, don't lead people on. But there was a general understanding with the audience that the monthly stream was a garuntee for at least some of the free questions to be answered(the last couple of times has been around 20). They then did an additional stream that addressed more super chat questions. What they could have/should have done was address the free questions on stream, and then had this final episode dedicated to all of the superchats. More refined answers for those who paid, while giving those hoping for their free questions to be answered a chance for one last run, or used this last episode which would allow Sonic questions to be used for the freebies. The last stream had one of the highest questions answered by count, but the lowest free questions answered per stream. I read that back and it sounds entitled, but when you are offered something, you are entitled to the thing you are offered. This feels like a deliberate bait and switch using the scarcity of Sonic questions as an incentive for monetary gain. I am outraged, so I can't say I am impartial, and you shouldn't take me as such. I am clearly biased here, but this is how I feel, logically or illogically.
I'm sorry about that. We weren't sure just how much of a blowout of superchats there would be (yes I know we probably should've expected it...) so we took standards as usual to keep on hand if we needed. That was a bit unfair on our part, given the circumstances. My mistake. -Kyle
@BumbleKingVideos it happens, not much that can be done now. Hope you all enjoying your new years eve. I still have some ideas for questions next year, even with Sonic off the table. Be safe and God Bless.
December 31st, 2024 Question Timestamps:
------------------------------------------
1:25 - I'm assuming "timey wimey, wibbly wobbly" is the answer here, but perhaps you can explain this at least a little bit. Mephiles's existence in Shadow Generations had me thinking about how he seemed to know that he no longer existed since he states that he wants to exist. Without the Time Eater's shenanigans, does the erased Mephiles consciously exist in a state of erasure, or was he simply brought back and, due to his own time powers, was able to recognize that he was once erased from existence?
2:01 - In a scenario where Cosmo lived, do Tails and Cosmo live happily ever after? Does Cosmo fill the workshop with endless flowers? Does Tails ever teach Cosmo how to fly the Tornado? If you can share any wholesome post-season 3 Tailsmo fluff you can conjure up for the answer to my final Sonic question on the BumbleKast, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks!
2:36 - The end of Sonic X Shadow Generations seemed like a perfect opportunity for Shadow to let loose in a way he hasn't been able to for a long time: namely, dropping the Limiter Rings and hitting Doom with everything he's got. However, even during the excellent final battle he still doesn't remove the limiters. If an occasion like this year of Shadow wasn't enough, when should we expect a return of the Chaos Blast if at all?
3:13 - Any update on Lost Hedgehog Tales in 2025? I know there's likely some Legal Tape keeping it back, so is there any estimation on how much longer? Would your standing with SEGA affect being able to release it when the time is right? We must know what happened to THE Hero Bivalve! Also when Sally and Nicole had their wedding!!! THESE ARE THE FACTS WE MUST KNOW IAN!!!
4:25 - Good news everyone! Omega and Bender Bending Rodriguez from Futurama have become best friends, how do they influence each other and what do they do during a bot’s night out? (if possible try to imitate Professor Farnsworth's voice when saying "Good news everyone!", thanks!)
6:13 - Omega has discovered the world of Vanity Voice Processors! After browsing through a catalog with the rest of Team Dark, he has settled on four possibilities: Dalek Emperor The Dalek Emperor Compilation, RobCo Industries Sentry Bot Fallout 4 sentry bot voices , HK-47 The Best of HK-47 (KOTOR I), or Cephalon Simaris Warframe - All Simaris Lines (Update 38). Which does he ultimately choose, and what would Rouge and Shadow's opinions be on his short-list of options?
7:04 - If sonic is sooooo fast, how has he not seen everything on Earth yet? Realistically he should've already discovered the Starfall Islands before SA1! This is assuming the planet is as big as ours and not Minecraft sized.
8:03 - How would Shard handle being given full command of the Metal Sonic Troopers? Would he give them copies of his personality? If so, how does Nicole handle all the many new suitors?
9:19 - I was reading your run of Archie Sonic, and noticed a pattern in the arcs. Scourge and Fiona invert their recent story beats. Mogul gets a real win. The politics of the setting see a major shift AWAY from succession drama. Knuckles gains the divine power he lacked in Return to Angel Island. All inversions of events & themes in previous stories, in roughly reverse order. Was this a conscious decision, or is this just my fixation for narrative structure making me see things?
10:50 - Shadow Generations Movie DLC spoilers: As Shadow was speeding through the Tokyo stage, he mentions how the city is like how Maria described the Earth. Did Shadow temporarily gain some of his movie counterpart’s memories? If not, then why was Shadow acting like he was never on Earth before?
11:13 - Will we ever know the canon path to Shadow the Hedgehog game since the only known canon path is the last story?
11:42 - In both the recent twitter takeover and Shadow Generations, it was implied Shadow likes Classic Sonic more than Modern due to his silence. My question is: how would a day between Classic Sonic and Shadow go?
12:13 - How would Maria get along with Boom Shadow? Could she fix him?
13:10 - Sonic Adventure 2 What if time! One thing I noticed when playing SA2 and Shadow Generations is that Eggman and Sonic are somewhat opposites of Maria and Shadow. My question is : how would life on the Ark be if young Ivo was on the Ark with Maria , and Gerald made Sonic Ivo's ultimate life - form buddy along with Shadow?
13:55 - Bowser manages to Defeat blaze thx to superior strength and fire res, he promises to spare her people if she marries him, she reluctantly agrees. Which of Blaze's friends comes to save her and who comes excited for a wedding?
15:11 - I was wondering whether you see anyone in the Sonic cast (both games and comics) as neurodivergent? I had Silver being autistic in mind, but any other characters you wish to speak on would also be welcome.
15:53 - Tangle has finally convinced you to let her go on a date with Whisper. However, your one request is that they go out with a chaperone. It’s Kyle. Do you trust him to keep them safe and can they find romance in the back of his car?
16:58 - Here’s another [[CROSSED]] Over special: Spamton in [[Sonic Boom]]! Can this [[Colorful Bunch]] of familiar yet different friends, Enemies, and the additional [[BADGER BADGER BADGER]] keep this under control?
18:47 - So something me and Kyle agreed on is that champions is probably your best arc. What I want to know is will you ever write a tournament arc in any future works? Preferably in one of your original works
20:37 - One of my favourite lines in Sonic boom was "Normally, I'm a pacifist, but today, I'm passing fists!". How would you incorporate Og the Froglodyte into Mainline?
21:42 - Does Vanilla swear when Cream isn't around? Actually, what DOES Vanilla do when Cream is off saving the world? When she has a day all to herself, what does the best (and only) mom get up to?
22:55 - Mr. Flynn, Your mission is to Recast Red vs Blue with Sonic Characters. No restrictions on continuity except Sonic is Caboose and Knuckles is Sarge. Thank you for your time. From the Director of Project Freelancer
26:18 - forget about answering my questions on sonic lore Ian, what are some burning questions you yourself wonder about the sonic series? Maybe about a character or story elements you've always wondered about and would love to see answered or elaborated in future or even get to write yourself.
28:12 - With the Year of Shadow coming to an end, who do you think would deserve their own dedicated year, and more interesting, who do you think could carry their own year the way Shadow did?
30:32 - Let's say some of Sonic's allies and rivals (namely Team Dark, Lanolin, Whisper, Espio, Surge and Kit) are sick of how he always handles Eggman, and decide to destroy him themselves, while Sonic and the others are forced to protect him. How does the conflict play out?
31:17 - how would Espio comfort tangle if she was sad? And how would she respond? Assuming that they are close.
31:58 - It’s a farewell to Scourge, Fiona and the gang, so I'll give them a farewell cake. How will Scourge and Fiona react and what will their final words be to their fans?
32:18 - I know the Zeti were based on oni during the development of sonic lost world but their species was changed because of sega of America so my question is would you say there are still oni/demons or would you say they are now their own unique species special to the sonic universe?
33:03 - In one of the trailers for Sonic movie 3, we see a shot of Shadow and Maria sitting together at night in a field of flowers, similar to the shots seen in Dark Beginnings Episode 3. Was this shared imagery synergy between the two projects or just coincidental?
33:31 - From what I’ve seen from Gerald’s Journal, the biolizard seems to have been a preexisting salamander (which is an amphibian not reptile; so inaccurate name there) that was modified using genetics, cybernetics and chaos mysticism. My question is: was Shadow grown from the ground up with hedgehog mobian and black arms dna or was he a pre-existing hedgehog that was modified with alien DNA & chaos technology?
34:22 - Sonic Boom time! This time, it is Plants vs. Zombies! How does it go and occur, where do the zombies come from, and is Dave the Intern crazy? Bonus points if we get to hear Dave doing the weird gibberish noises.
36:13 - So in a previous BumbleKast, Ian was spitballin' some ideas on the concept of Phazon Surge, so I'm just gonna run a little bit with that scenario for a VS fight: Phazon Surge v. Whisper w/ Majora Mask. Round 2.... ready... FIGHT!
38:22 - When it comes to Sonic Boom characters, everyone talks about Sticks and Dave as characters they want to see in the mainline stuff for obvious reasons. But what is your opinion on Perci the Bandicoot? Would she be worthwhile to see in the mainline stuff or does she overlap too much with other characters' gimmicks? How do you imagine her bouncing off some of the other characters?
39:43 - Not so much a question, just something fun I wanted to share. In Issue #25 Page 13 of IDW Sonic, Cream stops Whisper from stealthily sniping Eggman from afar. The line reads, “Please don’t! Ms. Whisper”, As in “Don’t do this, Whisper!”… However, I for whatever reason originally misread the line as, “Please don’t miss, Whisper!” As in, “Only one shot, better make it count, Whisper!” I snapped the book shut and couldn’t stop laughing for like 30 minutes until I realized… no, that did not happen. Sooo… question then, uh… thoughts?
*(The rest of the questions + outtakes are in the replies)*
The rest of the questions (some were cut down to fit btw):
------------------------------------------
40:29 - Now that the Knuckles special is out and we've returned to the Northstar Islands, can you explain if or how the Emerald Powers are related to Chaos Control?
40:41 - With everyone obviously asking about the story and lore of Shadow Generations, I'm curious, how are you two enjoying the actual video game? Have you two beaten it? 100%-ed it? S-ranked everything? D-ranked everything? What's your favorite part? Etc.
41:27 - Why do Sonic fans keep forcing what should be 'canon' on the rest of the fandom, even when said canon isn't exactly well written , as they themselves often criticize it for? like do they actually want a canon or not? and why should anyone who disagrees be forced to accept it?
43:34 - Since the stage titles exist diegetically in Shadow Generations' cutscenes, is the city Sonic was in actually called "City Escape"? Is there really a place called "Radical Highway"?
44:31 - Does Mephiles have Black Arms DNA in him?
44:52 - Uh, oh! Sonic and Eggman have been captured by a new big bad, and this time it's up to Tangle and Sage to save the day. How well do they work together, how does it go, and what do they think of each other by the end?
45:50 - How would you have canonized Chomps from Sonic Underground into the Reboot Archie Sonic lore? Like would Knuckles just have a Dinosaur friend he's never mentioned before or would he be more primal/pet esc cuz he's a Dinosaur?
47:55 - Surge discovers something…unpleasant for her. Turns out, if she sleeps next to Sonic, she has no recurring nightmares, and sleeps better than she does without him. And it ONLY works with Sonic. Don’t ask how she found out, it was a stupid, platonic, accident that TANGLE WON’T SHUT UP ABOUT! How mad is she, and how does she handle it?
48:33 - Welp, I suppose I must ask this now before it is too late, and that it's about my OTP: What would a relationship between Mother Wisp and Chaos be like?
49:18 - In your opinion, did all Robians have the same arm-strength as Bunnie Rabbot in the SatAM and original Archie continuities, and we were just never in a good position for it to come up? Or did her roboticization make her a "stronger model" of robot? Or was she naturally athletic and the roboticizer just enhanced her? Please rationalize this quandary that barely predates Metal Sonic (and would she win an arm wrestling contest against Metal Sonic?).
51:08 - In Sonic Issue 252, as Sally remembers her Pre-Genesis history, she goes to Nicole for comfort when coping with her trauma instead of Sonic who she earlier pushed away. Later in the Post-Genesis run, Sally and Nicole became strangely a lot closer while the interactions with Sonic and Sally were more like acquaintances. Other than the restrictions imposed by Sega, why didn't you give a lot more screen time for Sonic and Sally interactions like Pre-Genesis? I missed their relationship and dynamic.
52:00 - Now here's a pitch, Neo Diamond Cutters in a nickelodeon like sitcom. What goofy shenanigans would the trio get themselves into and would the audience cheer when Jewel makes an appearance?
53:35 - How about [a] shipping question for old time’s sake? I know out of all the types of Sonic questions you get, you'll miss answering these ones the most. Though don't cry because it's gone, smile because it's happened. Now, let's say Sonic and Amy finally become a couple! How does everyone react and more importantly, which characters won/lost money due to betting on if/when they'd become one?
54:27 - Sonic Generations, adapted for the Preboot Archie continuity! What’d the team-up between the gag era and modern Freedom Fighters be like? What locations from previous arcs would be represented? What would a PROPER team up between Robotnik and Eggman be like?
55:57 - Early one morning in the Boom Universe, Sonic finds, on his porch, a cradle! Inside, he finds a... baby. Well, it's a can of peas dressed up like a baby. And it's beeping. Over a radio also nestled within the 'child', Eggman reveals his most bizarre plot yet! Sonic and Shadow have to team up to raise this can of peas. They must treat it like a child, including all associated care. If they don't, there's enough explosives in that can of peas to take out the whole island. How does it go? PS: the can of peas is named Penelopea.
57:20 - Sonic 3 movie spoilers (barely): it's shown that Shadow has SOME exposure to television and movies. Given that the movies openly acknowledge pop references, how would you envision a scene where Shadow and Maria were at a tea party with the Golden Girls?
58:05 - A while back, I asked if Shadow would dance to save the world. I had the Elite Beat Agents in mind. Now, with confirmation that you know who they are…The EBA are fighting a galactic threat; the only way they can win is if Shadow helps. Will he join them? He has to wear the suit.
58:40 - I’ve been patiently waiting for more focus on Tails in IDW and I still feel like we haven’t gotten much in that regard. He appears a lot, but he’s often just there, doing his usual genius schtick without contributing much else. […] Why’s there little focus on Tails’ character and his relationships with characters besides Sonic? IDW Team, Please give Tails more.
59:26 - We've seen Dr Eggman team up with different versions of himself throughout history.. but what would a team up between Modern Eggman, Prime's Mr Dr Eggman, and Boom Eggman be like?
1:00:47 - Back when Sonic Heroes came out I had no internet access, and the last Sonic game I'd had available to me before Heroes was Sonic 2! So as someone that had no idea who more than half the characters in Heroes were and knew no other Sonic fans, I wanted to ask: what was it like being an active Sonic fan at the time? […]
1:04:04 - Kirk Thornton once voiced legendary Lilo and Stitch villain Dr. Jacques von Hamsterviel in the dub of the anime. Because of this, I feel obligated to ask: How would a fight between the Ultimate LIfe Form and Experiment 626 go down?
1:06:02 - Did commander tower know that shadow was being held by gun before SA2 and if he did, why pin everything on sonic?
1:06:22 - With you working more closely with sega and the stars lined up for abraham towers name, is it possible more former sonic characters could be brought back from archie/satam/fleetway? Also, is there a way I could get you to autograph my sonic megaman world collide GN?
1:07:47 - In Shadow Generations it's revealed that if another chaos control user is affected by Time Stop, they can nullify it with their own Chaos Control. Is this specifically a Chaos Energy Vs Chaos Energy type deal or would a Chaos User be able to nullify other versions of time stop not related to chaos energy or the emeralds?
1:08:12 - It’s time for another body swap question! This time it’s Amy and her car Breeze. How does Breeze handle being a biped having to do all the things a biped needs to do to stay alive and how does Amy handle being a car SEGA forgot about 30 years ago?
1:09:18 - How would you write a story where Cream is both the main villain and final boss? No mind control/clones/etc, just Cream. And how would you somehow keep this story to the status quo of the series?
1:09:53 - If Shadow was a Venom-style symbiote bound to Sonic and they had to work together permanently, how would it go? Shadow can't leave because he needs Sonic to survive. And no he can't just choose to die, even if that would be extremely funny. Although it could be another character
1:11:10 - In the Tokyo stage in Shadow Generations, Shadow says Tokyo "looks like how Maria described the Earth." This statement seems strange, considering Shadow has seen the Earth for more than 6 months. Does this mean that 50 years ago Sonic-Earth looked like 2024 Real Earth?
1:11:33 - In Shadow Generations, Black Doom calls him by his full name for the first time. To my knowledge the only other time he has so much as called Shadow a hedgehog was in Last Story, so this can be read as earned respect. Sonic's quote off with Shadow also avoids attacking Shadow's right to his identity as a hedgehog. Good man Sonic! But Metal Overlord does use the phrase "Fake Hedgehog" to describe Shadow. We know from the Egg Memos that Eggman respects identities, so is it possible that Metal Sonic always has a voice box but just never says anything that doesn't trigger all the censorship software… If so how would Sonic, Amy, Surge, Vanilla, Scrapnik Sonic, and Starline react to learning Metal Sonic was literally just too bad a person to ever bypass censorship?
1:13:01 - Are the Sonic characters toilet trained? Bodily functions aren't shown in Sonic media nor do characters comment on their bowel movements. I triple-checked the master list and found no answer. THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW, IAN! DO THEY USE TOILETS?
1:14:03 - At what point during the ARK raid was Maria shot? It seems to differ based on the retelling, and SA2 barely even shows her being shot if at all?
1:14:30 - I saw in an archived Archie webpage that Rotor was meant to have an older brother, name unknown, who disappeared and was presumed roboticized when their dad Sherman died. Did you know of this, and if so, would you have introduced him had pre-SGW Archie continued?
1:16:03 - What is one aspect you love about each of the main Freedom Fighters? (Those being Sally, Bunnie, Rotor, Antoine, and Nicole)
1:18:49 - Starline's isekai adventures continue! This time our favorite platypus finds himself face-planting head first into the events of Black Knight, unintentionally summoned by Merlina! How far does he make it?

For the question at 30:32, here are a list of episodes that touch on similar topics. Unfortunately, I believe this is the first time this specific question has been asked, so this list probably won’t cover everything the questioner wanted to know. Sorry about that.

*ADIOS* Sonic related questions.
Starline can finally rest.
After *ALL* this time he can Finnaly move on from the Pain and Suffering.
And most importantly From Ivo's Shadow.
He can finally rest... underneath all that rock- xD
The final Sonic episode at least for now. Has been truly great and we appreciate all your insight and answers. Also yes mr. Flynn people would very much like to know more about Blaze and her dimension as well as the Lost Hex and Zeti race.
1:04:28 "He'll punt it and that'll be the end of it, to which *Sticks* says something along the lines [Stitch speak] and, y'know, hits him with a bus."
I know it was an accidental misspeak, but Lilo & Sticks would be amazing.
Well. It’s been fun. Have fun Ian and Kyle and the rest of the bumblekrew. I hope you still will enjoy the bumblekast without Sonic. I will always enjoy your banter together. Here’s to new heights! I’ll check in every once in a while. Stay safe and happy new year!
Starline's Isekai Adventures... You got your ending after all... c":
58:05 It's funny how things work out. I got this in right before the announcement, and didn't even expect it to get answered after. I was just gonna let you guys keep the five dollars! Now, whenever I think back to the Sonic Era of the Bumblekast, I'll think of Shadow in a suit, dancing and posing to save the world.
I think that's as good a note as any to leave off on.
Sayonara, Starline's Isekai adventures.❤
The end of an era.
AND the beggining of a *NEW* chapter for the Bumblekast.
I like how Antoine is the kind of person who, despite their insecurities is able to rise to the occasion and be there for their friends
Day thirty-one of Mimic appreciation.
It just keeps going.
@@TheSultan1470 Anything to the Best BackStabber Buddy.
Good luck to Ian, Kyle, and the BumbleKrew in the new year! Excited to see what y'all have cookin' up.

If Amy and breeze can beep, then they can use Morse code by alternating the length of the beeps between short beeps and long beeps to do Morse code, but that assumes either of them know how Morse code works well enough to communicate fully
This may have been the end of Starline's Isekai Adventures here, but they will continue on in our hearts.
I mean, he'll find SOMEWAY for the Isekai Adventures to continue, intentional or not, only it's up to the folks at home to figure it out.
35:18 There actually is a Plants vs Zombies comic series. It's pretty good, but doesn't add much story about where the zombies came from. Just kinda wacky adventures with Crazy Dave, Zomboss, and other characters.
Sayonara, Sonic The Hedgehog.
If and when the bumble cast can talk about sonic more, I think it would be cool to have Evan Stanley on as I guess so that she can answer questions about her character, characters and IDW stuff, especially Belle
I am pretty happy with my last two questions...
Both insane in different ways.
Shadow vs. Stitch wasn't a matchup I was expecting, but damn it sounds hilarious. While I hope Sonic questions can return someday, it'll be interesting to ask about other topics. Maybe it's time for some Turtle Power?
Well, Sonic questions may be ending (for now, anyway), but Bumblekast is still a fun thing to watch. I'll never get tired of.
Also question, questions from UA-cam are still not allowed, right? Or did that change at some point?
UA-cam questions are now allowed (as long as they aren't Sonic questions)
@J.R.Unbound alrighty then. Y'know, even though most people come for Ian and maybe Kyle, but you also are a pretty fun part of the Bumblekast. I can't wait to see more of you guys in the future!
28:12 Serious Answer: Year of Chao.
Goodbye Sonic, time to start a new era.
Sayonara, here's to new beginnings..

*ADIOS Sonic Related Questions.*
It's really funny to hear how the perception of SA2 changed over time. I was definitely one of those kids who played Heroes and was a bit disappointed at the thin story. Because I was just coming off of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, which to my child's mind both had these grand plots with deep backstories that were emotional and absolutely epic. I'm sure the perception of various games is highly influenced by what specific Sonic games a particular fan started with. I'm definitely an Adventure-era fan all the way. I've been enjoying Sonic Frontiers and Shadow Generations for starting to return to more of that flavor of Hedgehogging. I really dropped off around the Colors and Lost World phase.
Belle is the important character that was not mentioned in Sonic Frontiers.
Belle has Eggman’s indirect creation with the latest AI. Sage is the latest by Eggman that I know brings him back memories of when he created Belle as Mr. Tinker.
He erased Belle’s memories, but kept the most powerful algorithm that was in Belle. A side of Sage that still deems him “father” was formerly Belle.
My last question being a body swap is oddly fitting 😂
No one tell them Plants Vs Zombies had a tie-in comic… 35:24
Edit: I really need to watch the whole video before commenting. 😔 Lesson in looking before you leap.
I think you could potentially do a "year of" with Knuckles but like Ian mentions it would need more work. There's a lot of interesting material with Knuckles' being the last echidna, the mesoamerican coded ancient echidna tribes, and the themes of archeology, exploring ancient ruins, etc. There's the premise for a treasure hunting exploration game hidden in there somewhere. Whatever it is I feel like it'd be a very different type of gameplay than the current formula 3D sonic/shadow levels use.
I'd like Sega to explore Knuckles' backstory more and find a way for him to conceivably responsibly leave Angel Island now and then, but not sure they'll ever get around to it.
To be fair, SEGA tried to expand on Echidna lore with Chronicles: Dark Brotherhood, and we all know how that ended.
58:40 Seriously? SERIOUSLY???
2024 was the year of Shadow, and all he got was a little embarrassment in 900th. If we count everything post-50, he played a bigger role in Urban Warfare.
In the same period (50-75), Tails had: Overpowered, Urban Warfare, his 30th anniversary, rest of Scrapnik Island, Winter Jam, Spring Broken, Halloween, Fang Mini, 900th, Phantom Rider arc and issue 68.
No game character (Sonic aside) gets half of the love, but poor little fox still needs more? Stop whining and learn to appreciate what you have, Cream fans would kill for that much.
Some of those appearances boil down to "techno exposition" but that's still maybe half of it. Dude punked Zavok, survived alone Metal Virus, talked down Kit, saved Sonic from Wendy and crashed planet into Metal Overlord. IDW treats him well.
This is truly the end of an era.
But start of anew
I’m not going anywhere btw I’m going to continue to ask silly questions that are not related to the blue rat xD
Shadow this is what you wanted isn’t it Maria an end to the Sonic questions ….am going to miss them…wait minute no I will not but the Big the cat questions can they live on in my heart.
28:12 imagine the year of eggman nega
Not an official question, just curious, but are questions mentioning Sonic (though not about it) alr? Like asking for writing advice and comparing it to something done in Archie, for example
Yeah, I _think_ that would be alright as long as the Sonic elements aren't integral to the question.
Sad times
Don't be sad that is Gone.
Be happy that it Existed 😊.
@@diegoblacutt8994 mainly I'm glad Sonic pregnancy questions will never be born again.. but grieving the lack of Big..
3:13 worrisome answer :(
On the Bowser question, I am not sure on Bowser ever actually considering that.
the chomps question just made me relies there's no dino sonic characters and i wanna see that.
It’s been a hellava run.
1:13:01 THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THE TRUTH!
Someone needs to make a “canon path” mod for shad05, instead of the mission-based, choose-your-own-adventure style of the original game, it’s structured like a regular sonic game, with modified levels more suited for non-mission focused linear gameplay, having more levels than the typical shad05 route.
I have a question about the Light Mobius timeline in the Sonic Archie Comics. Was Sally pregnant off-panel in that timeline?
I don’t know if this will ever get added but if you could do anything different before the reboot in Archie Sonic what would you do Ian?
so would Lopez be omega and Washington be Shadow?
Dread it, run from it,
the content drought comes all the same Sonic man
Will Sonic questions ever return on the bumblekast?
Will Ian ever get the Shadow death quote right?
WILL IAN EVER UNBLOCK ME ON BLUESKY????
Find out next year... On the Bumblekast!! *DBZ Cartoon network outro*
Are you kidding me? I was sixth in line on the free q&a last stream, and they didnt get to me. That means they did 3 free questions last stream. If mine sucked, say so and kick it off, but come on. 75 questions were given on their last attempt, and you didnt even get to 5%.
I understand the frustration, and I'm sorry your question didn't make it into the cut. but you have to also realize that ahead of your free question, there were 100+ people that paid to have questions answered and those have to be dealt with first which eats up the limited time they have. not to mention finishing any other priority questions from youtube membs, patreon, kofi, etc.
Ian and Kyle still have jobs and lives outside of this, they devoted as much time as they could to cover as many questions as possible.
@caswellweird i would be less upset if the free questions were not an option. If it was a super chat only stream, sure, ok, don't lead people on. But there was a general understanding with the audience that the monthly stream was a garuntee for at least some of the free questions to be answered(the last couple of times has been around 20). They then did an additional stream that addressed more super chat questions.
What they could have/should have done was address the free questions on stream, and then had this final episode dedicated to all of the superchats. More refined answers for those who paid, while giving those hoping for their free questions to be answered a chance for one last run, or used this last episode which would allow Sonic questions to be used for the freebies. The last stream had one of the highest questions answered by count, but the lowest free questions answered per stream. I read that back and it sounds entitled, but when you are offered something, you are entitled to the thing you are offered.
This feels like a deliberate bait and switch using the scarcity of Sonic questions as an incentive for monetary gain.
I am outraged, so I can't say I am impartial, and you shouldn't take me as such. I am clearly biased here, but this is how I feel, logically or illogically.
I'm sorry about that. We weren't sure just how much of a blowout of superchats there would be (yes I know we probably should've expected it...) so we took standards as usual to keep on hand if we needed. That was a bit unfair on our part, given the circumstances. My mistake. -Kyle
@BumbleKingVideos it happens, not much that can be done now. Hope you all enjoying your new years eve. I still have some ideas for questions next year, even with Sonic off the table.
Be safe and God Bless.
