Working at a casino was not exactly #lifegoals.
But it was better, I reflected, as I glanced down at my scratchy pink poodle skirt and ankle-grinding roller skates, than being a waitress at a Fifties theme restaurant.
Anything is better than working at a theme restaurant. Believe me. If you hear ‘Fifties restaurant’ and start dreaming of Uma Thurman and John Travolta dancing with wild abandon, stop it. Tarantino lied to you. It’s just screaming children and drunk tourists, all the way down.
Which was why, when my Friday morning shift in that hell finally ended, I shrugged back into street clothes and left for my interview at the Grand Imperial Casino with a spring in my step and a smile on my face. I’d hoped that by my twenty-fourth year of life, I’d be interviewing for something a bit more ambitious than blackjack dealer at the newest addition to the Las Vegas strip, but at this point I’d take what I got.
The bus ride downtown was boring, so I’ll break here to introduce myself: my name is Mika. Well, technically, my name is Miguelita Hortensia Maria Francisca de Toledo Rosario Vasquez. But that’s too long even by Mexican standards, so go ahead and call me Mika Rosario, because that’s going to save us both a bunch of time.
Yeah, you think YOU hate going to the DMV.
Anyway, today was going to be my day. I’d traded shifts with one of the other girls who owed me a favor and put up with the desperately sad crowd that wanted to eat breakfast surrounded by bored actors dressed up like extras from Grease, because this afternoon was important. This afternoon was my ticket out of the world of waitressing, even if that ticket only took me a few blocks down the road. No more poodle skirts, no more roller skates, no more children competing to see who can snort a milkshake through their nose, no more teenage boys leering at my cleavage until their eyes fell out.
I mean, I was applying to work at a casino, so I was pretty much just trading those teenage stares in for a whole new set, courtesy of a horde of middle-aged middle-managers in from the Midwest for a convention on midsize sedans, but at least it was a change. My boobs were looking forward to the variety.
So, there I was, sitting in a massive ballroom at the Grand Imperial with about four hundred other people, waiting for my name to be called. It was a nice ballroom, if nothing else, with real white linens on the tables and carpet that didn’t look like they stole the design from a Dixie cup in 1997. It ought to be nice, though, since the newspapers claimed that this place had cost over a billion dollars just to build, never mind the cost of buying out land on the Strip.
All the more reason to get my foot in the door here. If this Robbie Mo guy that came in from Macau to set up the Grand Imperial had that kind of money to throw around, then there had to be a way for me to work my way up through the ranks to where I’d get some real cash.
And no more roller skates.
“Me-gall-nita… Rose-mario?”
The call came at last and I sprang up, smiling as broadly as I knew how and ignoring the way the guy with the list butchered my name. They could call me Mud, for all I cared, so long as they got me away from Big Donny’s Roller-Diner.
The first few rounds of the mass interview were easy, to be honest. Out of all those hundreds of people massed in the ballroom, the Grand Imperial people eliminated three hundred with a simple test as to whether or not they even knew how to play blackjack, let alone deal professionally. Most of them, apparently, couldn’t even count to twenty-one.
I breezed through that round, and the two that came after it. I’d been slinging blackjack since I was eight, when my dad first set me down and made me help him practice counting cards. Carlos Rosario was a ‘professional’ gambler. Professional, in the sense that it was the only plan he ever had to make money and support his family, and ‘professional’ in the sense that he lost more than anybody I’ve ever seen, no matter how he tried to cheat.
Anyway, dealing was easy. I threw in a few flippy bits, flicking aces from one knuckle to the other before returning them to the shuffle, and dancing the spread back and forth before snapping cards out to my nonexistent players. It was simple stuff that any idiot could learn on YouTube, but the interviewers ate it up, whispering to each other like sixth-grade girls.
It was round four when everything got weird.
My first clue that I’d merged onto the highway to the crazy zone was when a man in a black suit asked me to follow him. He was tall and blond, super hot in a ‘my sense of humor was surgically replaced with a third fist’ kind of way, and he escorted me into an elevator made of mirrors without ever saying more than three words at a time. All the previous rounds of the interview had been held in partitioned temporary rooms on one side of that huge ballroom, but apparently those of us who made it to the final round got to see a nicer bit of the Grand Imperial.
That was what I thought on the elevator ride, anyway. I had no idea exactly how nice the bit I’d be seeing was until I stepped off on the 50th floor and felt my jaw drop so far that it should’ve hit the floor.
Gold. Enough gold to make the Pope blush, enough gold to buy out the king of Spain, enough gold to...I don’t even know. There was nothing I could think of buying, nothing that I could even IMAGINE, that required that much money.
It was a lot of freaking gold.
Hot Security Guy frog-marched me through Versailles 2.0 like we were walking down a blank concrete hallway instead of something out of Liberace’s nightmares, before plopping me down opposite the final interviewer.
He was Asian, probably Chinese or Japanese extraction, middle-aged and friendly-looking, like his face naturally wanted to smile. Bit of gray at his temples, bit of extra padding at the belly, but it all seemed to suit him, like he’d been destined to be that way since he was born. Somebody’s kindly grandpa, except he wasn’t old enough yet.
He didn’t say much as I ran through my dealing routine, which didn’t exactly make me happy. A bead of sweat ran down the back of my neck the moment I picked up the deck set on the desk between us, a bead that turned into a river, that turned into Niagara Falls by the time I was done. I pulled out a few extra tricks at the end, flashy little flips that I wouldn’t usually dare try with anybody watching, even palmed a joker into the deck and spun it out face-up, but it was like trying to get blood from a stone. Friendly Grandpa’s smile never so much as twitched, for good or bad.
Finally, I couldn’t take it.
“Look, that’s what I’ve got,” I vented, cascading the deck back together and slapping it down on the desk. “If you’re looking for more...frankly, I don’t know who the hell you’re looking for. Four rounds of interviews, for a job dealing blackjack? That’s just stupid.”
Uh oh.
There it went, then. My chance to bust out of the land of pink poodle skirts and greaser jackets. Great job, Mika; all you had to do was keep your mouth shut and flip the cards, but you had to let your temper get the best of you.
Then the interviewer finally spoke.
“Do you know who I am, Miss Rosario?”
I gulped.
“My new boss?” I suggested lamely, mustering up my best plucky smile.
“My name is Mo Ka-Fai,” he informed me, as I felt my blood turn to ice. “Most people around here call me Robbie.”
Robbie...Mo...
Robbie Mo.
ROBBIE FREAKING MO.
AKA the guy who owned the casino I was sitting in, plus half of the Mirage and who knew how many more in Macau. The news hadn’t stopped talking about how stupid rich he was since they first broke ground on the Grand Imperial.
“Oh,” I squeaked. So I hadn’t just mouthed off at my interviewer and tanked my chances of getting the dealer job, I’d insulted a man who could literally blackball me from the entire city of Las Vegas if he felt like it.
That was bad.
“Sorry.”
“I didn’t tell you that to spook you, Miss Rosario,” Mo announced, a sentiment that did nothing to unfreeze my spine or untwist my stomach. “That wasn’t the point. The point was to let you know that you are dealing with the person who makes decisions. A serious person. Somebody who is not in the business of making jokes or playing pranks. Is that clear to you?”
I nodded like a bobblehead doll. He wasn’t telling me to leave, at least. That had to mean I was still in the running for the job...right?
“Good,” he continued. “Jason, bring in the kittens.”
He gestured over my shoulder towards Hot Security Guy, as I felt my brow knit in confusion. Had he just said...kittens?
What?
Lo and behold, the kittens were...actual cats. HSG disappeared behind a side door, only to reappear a moment later with a cardboard box full of mewing little fluffballs in at least a dozen colors, two or three tiny heads peeking above the lip to see what was happening. The box was deposited at my feet, whereupon two dozen curious eyes blinked up at me.
“Um,” I managed, my eyebrows raised so far I felt like they were going to get lost in my hair. “What?”
“Close your eyes and pick a kitten, please,” Mo requested.
I just stared at him.
“I am aware that it sounds absurd, Miss Rosario. But this will all make sense in a moment, if things are as I suspect.”
I stared at him for another long moment, then shrugged. I liked cats just fine, and he still seemed to be considering me for the job, so...why not?
Eyes closed tight, I leaned down and worked my hands into the pile of kittens. A few nips and playful scratches later, I managed to snag one of the fluffy little things and lift it up away from its siblings.
I opened my eyes to see a pure black fuzzball sitting in my palms, staring at me with eyes as gold as the extravagant walls. He blinked a few times, looking around to see where the rest of his family had gone, then curled up with his tail over his eyes.
Mo breathed in sharply, and whispered something in a language I didn’t know, eyes widening.
“Black,” murmured Hot Security Guy. “It’s black.”
“Yeah, I guess so,” I replied, exploring new depths of confusion. “Here, you want to hold him?”
HSG backed away like I’d offered to shoot him in the kneecap.
“N-no!” he yelped, then cleared his throat. “I mean, no thank you, Miss Rosario. Please continue the interview.”
“The straws,” hissed Mo, as I turned back to him. “Bring the straws!”
Jumping like he was scalded, HSG disappeared back into the side room and came back with a large, blue porcelain vase bristling with...were those drinking straws?
They were. Long red plastic straws, like the ones that you got at the movie theater Slushee machine, with a little spoon on the end so you could scoop up the ice bits. There were tons of them packed into the vase, so tight they barely even rustled as Hot Security Guy placed it next to the kittens.
“There are one thousand straws in that vase,” Mo told me, as if that weren’t an utterly bizarre thing to say. “Each one has a number printed on the end, one to one thousand. Do you understand?”
I nodded again, scratching the black kitten’s head absently. I was this far into what was comfortably the strangest job interview of my entire life, no point arguing over a vase full of straws.
“Good. Choose one, and read me the number, please.”
Dutifully, I shifted my new fuzzy friend into my left hand while I reached down with my right and wormed a nail into the forest of straws. It had to be some kind of eccentric rich guy thing, testing people with kittens and straws before he hired them, I decided.
“Thirteen,” I recited, reading off the tiny black number punched into the end of my straw.
Hot Security Guy literally backpedalled away from me, while Mo looked like he’d seen a ghost.
“Thirteen?” he breathed. “Are you certain? Out of one thousand straws, you picked thirteen?”
“Yep,” I confirmed, laying the straw on the table for him. “One-three. That makes thirteen to me.”
The kitten in my hand started to stretch and mew, pawing for the top of the desk and obviously yearning to explore. I lifted him up and let him clamber out of my palm, since Mo seemed more interested in staring at the little number on the straw than actually interviewing me.
The one percent is freaking weird.
“Right, Miss Rosario,” Mo finally breathed, shaking himself away from inspecting the straw and seeming to collect himself. “Right. Yes. Thank you for bearing with us. I have one more test for you.”
This time, instead of sending Hot Security Guy to fetch, he reached into the drawer of his desk and produced an finely carved set of ivory dice in a plush black velvet box.
“Roll them, please.”
I didn’t move.
“I’d rather not,” I hedged. “I deal cards. I don’t gamble.”
That was my rule. Ever since I was eleven, ever since I’d watched my father walk out of the house with all the money we’d saved for my mom’s chemo and come back with empty hands, that had been the rule.
I don’t gamble. Ever.
“I am not asking you to gamble, Miss Rosario,” Mo countered. “There is no money on the table. Just the dice. Roll them, please.”
My jaw locked up and my fingernails bit into my palm, but I forced myself to reach for the dice. There was no way I was going to avoid ever touching a set, if I intended to work in a casino. And Mo was technically right; I wasn’t betting on anything and there was no money at stake, so it wouldn’t be gambling.
Just a roll of the dice.
Breath caught in my throat, I picked up the dice, shook them once, and then dropped them like a poisonous snake.
A brief clatter, and then they came to rest, one pip glinting from each face.
One and one.
Snake eyes.
“Two,” breathed HSG. “She rolled a two. She actually rolled a-!”
“Quiet, Jason,” Mo snapped. “Again, if you please, Miss Rosario.”
He collected the dice and passed them back across the desk to me. The corner of my lip twisted in distaste, but I nevertheless accepted them, shook, and cast.
Two pips stared back at me. Snake eyes, just like before.
“Again.”
Take, shake, roll.
Two pips. Snake eyes.
“Okay, what the hell is going on?” I demanded. “First you make me go bobbing for kittens and pick out a Slushee straw, and now you’re making me roll a loaded pair of dice? Does this have anything to do with me dealing blackjack?”
“The dice are not loaded,” Mo stated, grandfatherly smile all but gone, now. “Inspect them yourself. And then roll, again.”
I retrieved the dice and rolled them through my fingers, weighing them against each other, and then froze. An electric tingle ran up my spine and down to my fingers, as I realized that Mo was on the level. I knew what trick dice felt like in my hand; my dad had made me test out the sets he carved in our garage.
These were legit.
Which meant…
I rolled the dice, flinging them hard against the table. One spun like a top, fluttering about before finally tipping over with one pip to the sky. The other skated across the desk, nearly colliding with the adventuring kitten, and flew off onto the floor.
Where it landed with one pip showing.
Snake eyes.
“Again.”
Beginning to feel extremely freaked out, I did as Mo asked, taking a new pair of dice from him and casting them across the desk.
Two pips. Snake eyes.
“Again.”
My hand shook all on its own this time, barely steady enough to hold both dice together. They toppled away from me, less a cast, and more a drop.
It didn’t matter. Twp pips glinted in the light, reflecting the golden ornamentation.
Snake eyes.
“Again.”
Again, and again, and again. Over and over, Mo made me roll the dice, and every time the result was the same: two pips. Twenty times in a row, I rolled snake eyes.
Which was, mathematically speaking, almost impossible.
“What the hell is going on?” I asked again, but this time I really, truly meant it. My voice was barely a squeak, choked by an iron bar lodged in my throat. “What does this mean?”
“It means, Miss Rosario, that you are the unluckiest person alive.”
I blinked. Even in the grip of an utter and complete confusion, I had enough of my mother’s pride left in me to be insulted.
“Excuse me?”
“Oh, I mean that very literally,” Mo said, standing up from his desk and sharply correcting his suit jacket. “You, Miguelita Hortensia Maria Francisca de Toledo Rosario Vasquez, are the most unlucky human being on the planet. And that makes you extremely dangerous.”
“Dangerous?” I spluttered. “What do you mean, dangerous? How am I-?”
“We do not have time for me to answer that question,” Mo interrupted, gesturing for her to stand. “Suffice it to say that there are those of us who play probability and odds like a musician plays his instrument. And we’ve been looking for you, Miss Rosario. Looking for you for quite some time.”
I opened my mouth to demand more than that, or maybe to just sputter in wild confusion, but Mo steamrolled over me.
“Jason, call ahead to the helipad and tell them to spin up the chopper,” he ordered tersely, glancing to Hot Security Guy. “I want to be wheels up in fifteen minutes. We need to go, now.”
“Go?!” I snapped, finally untangling my tongue. “Go where?”
“To meet with Lady Luck.”

I forgot to post this last week, apparently.

I think everyone has that one game they love, especially in a franchise with such a large fanbase as Sonic. And sometimes it’s hard to see through the rose-tinted glasses (or in this case, blue-tinted glasses) and really analyze a game’s flaws to see what truly worked well and what didn't. I am absolutely in no way an exception when it comes to loving a game so much that it feels like you just stepped into the beginning segment of the Lion King. It is human nature to praise something we adore endlessly, taking no need to the warnings of others to stop. I am not the best with my words when it comes to explaining why I love what I love. All I can do is react to it; all that comes gushing out are various feels, such as a wild mixture of fangirling incoherent squeals and misty eyes that would make the Niagara Falls jealous. My reasons for why a game is in a certain spot may not make any sense to you, so just remember it's not your list, it's mine. Without stalling any longer, let's get right into this list.

1. Sonic and the Black Knight. This is the only game on this list I actually haven't played; mainly because I have no interest in a Wii. But I find the story absolutely fascinating, considering how much it shows Sonic’s determination even though he sometimes treats battling foes like a game. I understand the complaints about the buggy gameplay but I raise an eyebrow at the complaints that the story isn't good. It has all the aspects of what makes a thrilling adventure; especially the storybook kind. I just cannot fathom what makes the story “bad", not every game can be SA2 material. While I fancy myself a sci-fi lover, I have an appreciation for fantasy, as well; especially when knights are involved. I won’t go too much into it but I adore the Knight’s code and despite what others say about Sonic and chivalry not mixing, I love how well it suits Sonic’s character as a person, as a hero. Sonic may be a cocky pincushion but he's got a heart of gold, and that's what made me tear up in the cutscene before the final boss. The “A knight never flees his foe, right?” line is one of the best lines Sonic has ever uttered. It shows so much growth in his character and it's glorious. While I enjoyed the dynamic between Caliburn and Sonic (especially the knave and oversized letter opener insults), the coolest part about the entire game was Excalibur Sonic; it's my preferred Super form. There are also two of my favorite vocal songs in this game. This game is why I love the title “Knight of the Wind” and why I became interested in the Knight’s code in the first place. This game portrayed Sonic’s character with a balance of cocky, snarky, and humble very well in my opinion and I love it for that. Additionally, I find it curious that this is the only game where Modern Amy is actually tolerable but it's not even really her. I wish they had included Silver in the main story and replaced Shadow with Espio. I just don't understand how they thought Shadow was a good fit for a knight. He's too serious… Anyway, other than the controls that people dislike and the choice of characters to represent Arthurian characters, I have no complaints about this game. Being as I haven't played the game, I can only say so much about it. So that's all I have to say about it.
   
2. Sonic Unleashed Among the many things that drew me to this game, the graphics are incredible, the Dark Gaia fight looks intense and intimidating, the story really catches my attention, Chip amazes me with his comedy, character progression, and friendship with Sonic, and, uh… well… the Werehog is honestly the entire reason I bought the game at all ._. AND I LOVE IT! I love going slow for once and kicking can! IT’S SO AWESOME! Don’t get me wrong, I’m in love with the speed in the Day stages but I don’t have the wherewithal to use Sonic’s speed to its full potential. I like to enjoy the scenery now and again - or, you know, stop and just make some noise and break Egghead’s toys. Because you can’t cause the type of damage the Werehog can do if you’re zipping to and fro. Yeah, I know Sonic is all about speed… But even Sonic has to literally stop and smell the roses. I like the Werehog as a concept because it makes Sonic use his own weakness to progress. That and honestly, how isn't being a destructive ball of fur the coolest thing ever? The way Chip drastically changes personality from the beginning of the game to the end is crazy. He becomes less annoying and more useful. The line “Do I need a reason to want to help out a friend?” is heartwarming and it's my favorite moment in the game. I hate that Sonic is so sad when Amy didn't recognize him as the Werehog but I laughed so hard because of how clueless she was. The only thing I didn't understand was why only Tails and Amy were present. Knuckles, being as popular as the other two and one of the oldest characters, could at least have made a brief appearance. It would have been amusing to see him wet his shorts at the sight of the Werehog, or, much like in the comics with Mighty, see them roughhouse. On that note, why didn't Sonic ever lose his temper except for in the Night of the Werehog short and in the comics? It was probably deemed “too dark" for kids, wasn't it? That might be why the music was jazzy and not rock, which would have fit the Werehog more, in my opinion. The music is probably the only thing that truly irritates me about Unleashed. Everyone loves it and I'm just like “Ehhh… It's too weird for me…” The main tune (not Endless Possibilities) is good, though. True to their friendship, Tails’ astute observation on seeing Sonic right away as the Werehog was really cool. I'm surprised I had so much to say on Unleashed as I did; just proves I really like this game.
   
3. Sonic Heroes. I'm seeing a little more love for this game and I think that's cool. I’ve played and replayed countless hours into this game, more than another game on this list, and somehow, I still never managed to beat it even though I was so close to doing so. DAMN YOU GIANT GATOR! DAMN YOU EGG EMPEROR! Damn youuuu… I loved how each team had their own gameplay style with their own set of quirks and varying difficulties for the most part. It eats away at my core that Team Rose, the easiest team in the game, isn’t the one that allowed me to beat part of the game. But I digress… The team I played most besides Sonic’s team was Chaotix. Their unique detective gimmick made it fun, one of the reasons I took a liking to them most. Not surprisingly, Heroes introduced me to the three goofballs and without this game, my fondness for Espio never would have happened. Ironically, Team Chaotix was the first team I ever saw when I was introduced to the game back in elementary school. I also love how Heroes touts teamwork, friendship, and self-strength - like, this game not only pumped me up with its amazing electronic instrumentals and a couple of vocal songs, it also taught me to love myself when I felt useless or worthless THROUGH the lyrics. But such topics are for another day. Egg Emperor is by far the most difficult boss I ever witnessed in Sonic (and also had a cool design like Egg Dragoon). I am proud that I made it that far with half of the teams. If there was a couple things I wish the game made changes to, it's the cutscenes and gameplay. As far as the cutscenes go, it's a minor thing but since you have to replay all the levels four times, the least they could have done was not recycle most of the cutscenes, specifically the Team Battles. They should have at least changed perspective depending on which team was being played. The gameplay would have been way more fun if the controls weren't so darn slippery. I don't know how people don't have heart attacks while grinding on rails. Despite what people say about the casino stages in Heroes, I adore them. Yeah, they repetitive or boring, slow, and even annoying, but it beats Spinball, right? There hasn't been other levels like them since (probably for good reason in many people's minds) and I bet it's mechanics have never been seen before (I haven't seen any, at least). The haunted house stages were pretty trippy, kinda creepy, and a little aggravating but a neat concept and probably a favorite during Halloween (second to Pumpkin Hill, of course). I think the beach levels were a great call-back to the beach levels in previous games and I wish they replaced Green Hill. The Metropolis levels were wild and fantastic, the forest levels were a nice call-back to that one level from SA2, and, of course, the Air Fleet levels were all kinds of awesome (and terrifying). Rail Canyon levels can go die, however, I died constantly and they were not fun at all. The thing I found interesting about the level setup is that each zone is divided into three parts, including the boss battles. The Metal Sonic boss battle seems complicated but really challenging. I'm almost really thankful that I can't beat Egg Emperor. I know Heroes doesn't have much of a story but I quite like it. Each Team has their unique set of goals yet they all end up in the same place (seriously though, how were all four Teams in the same levels and boss fights without accidentally bumping into eachother? Someone needs to explain that). This game featured We Can as Team Sonic's theme and it's my absolute favorite song, don't know why anyone would call this amazing tune cheesy. The main theme pumped me up before I even started the game and I love it for that. What I'm Made Of is, by far, the best workout song. If everything I've said wasn't proof I've played the hell out of Heroes, I dunno what else is lol.
   
4. Sonic Adventure. Big surprise, right? (Heh, get it? Big? I'll let myself out…) I have almost no words to explain how much I love this game, even in all it’s flaws. This game was the first game I ever so it’s a pretty damn big deal to me. That said, I do have more memories tied with this than my number 1 game, funnily enough, but, as you’ll see later on, even nostalgia isn't strong enough to make this remembered classic title my top pick. Of course, it's pretty darn close to being there, at one point it was my number 1 but my feelings for it have evolved. Being that it was the first game I ever played, it now blows my mind that this game is the only game I know of to kick off with a boss. I haven’t seen another game that starts off like that. It sets the mood - you have to be on your toes in Sonic’s story. Even if there are other games like this out there, nothing was impactful as Chaos for me. He holds a special place in my heart for a reason - he is named aptly and represents the forces of nature perfectly (I really wish they showed off all his forms instead of making us wonder about two of them). I adore how mysterious the game is when you first play. Like, you are being dragged along with the story trying to piece everything together and wondering what the floating red glowing ball with a disembodied voice is all about. It’s also pretty cool to know that this tutorial guide is subtly a key factor into the game’s plot. Sonic was my favorite of all the characters because, truth be told, I was the biggest Sonic fangirl I knew. I loved playing as Tails but preferred his flight in the SA2 Chao Garden instead of “getting tired”. I always felt the pressure with the races so playing as Tails sometimes scarred younger me. I hated losing to Sonic but his upbeat comments at you were really nice. Knuckles was fun because I actually liked looking for Master Emerald shards (unlike in SA2). I probably enjoy Knuckles the most because I learned to roleplay as Knuckles (by myself, before I knew what that was), I had fun gliding, climbing, and digging (you can thank Gargoyles for this), and it remains as the only story in SA1 I beat. I didn’t really play the other three much as a kid, mainly because I never reached that point. Amy is a little wonky, Big does indeed have frustrating controls if you don't know what you're doing, and Gamma is fun but kinda meh. Out of the three gameplay styles, I definitely prefer Gamma but, unlike most fans, I actually like Big (only reason I liked Team Rose). Running and jumping using Amy’s hammer is oddly satisfying. The Chao Garden is of course fun but that’s not why I played the game; SA2’s Gardens are far superior and doesn't have that pesky risk of harming your Chao when you pick them up. I’m gonna go into a bit of nostalgia here for the remainder of this entry because I just remembered some things. I remember distinctly asking my oblivious mom what the heck to do when I reached the part where you get the light speed shoes, not having a clue how to perform the maneuver, and my mom having no clue either, I eventually progressed and my mom praised me for it. Definitely a good memory. Other memories also include getting stuck on the Egg Carrier level as both Sonic and Tails, getting stuck as Knuckles during his first stupid boss battle with Chaos 4 as well as in Mystic Ruins behind bars and having to call an old friend for help, and being terrified of Zero chasing Amy. I sadly never got to Gamma until later in life when I had the game for the 360 but I do remember watching him being played briefly at my cousins’ house. Even though I’m better at it now, don’t even get me started on how horrified I was at seeing my Chao die alot… cries a little But yeah, I enjoy the game because I actually remember stuff like this on the top of my head. I never actually reached the epic battle between Super and Chaos but I guess that is okay, even if a little sad. The main things I love about this game are how it showed the friendship between Sonic and Tails, how our two-tailed buddy believed in himself, how bittersweet Knuckles’ duty is, how strangely influential Amy is to other people, the determination of Big, how they took a frog and made him vital to the plot, Gamma’s entire existence, and just the legend of Chaos overall. I have to say this for SA1 - if it weren’t for it existing, I wouldn’t love Sonic the way I do now. Or grow to adore Big as much as I do. Or Tails! Funnily enough, I just remembered playing another game on the Dreamcast, Test Drive 6, and making a pick-up truck relatively the same color as Tails, LOL. It was because of SA1 that I even liked the franchise at all.Even though I didn’t beat the game itself, it still taught me alot about positivity, determination, and most importantly, opening my heart (yes, I'm serious). There are a number of other things I love and remember that I couldn’t possibly list here.
   
5. Sonic Shuffle. I’m pretty sure you weren’t expecting this game at all to show up (especially being number 1), since either people hate it, don’t remember it or are even aware of its existence. If you know anything about the game, you're likely really curious as to how a party game, of all things, made it to this spot on the list. Honestly, I really love this game and since gameplay isn't a priority to me, it boils down to story, it's morals, characters, and charm. Now, if you hate this game, it's not surprising to me that you took the time to laugh at what you just read. Hear me out, okay? I have fond memories with this game and as much crap as people give nostalgia, I personally believe nostalgia is an important factor. Unless your opinion has truly changed over time, which is fine, why rule it out? You’re getting rid of emotions tied with memories that, whether you like it or not, shaped your gaming experience. No matter how bad a game was. Nostalgia has a way of looking at things that alot of people give something unloved some deserved love. Anyway, I digress but the most important thing is how a game makes you feel. And this game gives me all kinds of feels. The opening is inviting (The overlook of the city looks so pretty, especially since this is the only cell-shaded I've played. The style really suits the game very well) and really captures the coolness of Sonic. That pose he is doing and the fact that he's on the tippy-top of that pole tells me Sonic is about to something very epic - and he does. Just like in both Adventure games, he jumps off the pole, falls, then runs down side of the building. To me, that is the essence of cool. Then he just hops down like gravity isn't even a thing. Tails, Knuckles, and Amy appear out of nowhere but that doesn't matter because they've been called on an adventure of a lifetime! Into a different dimension, no less! One of my favorite things is when Sonic whistles at Lumina x’D It's so random and Amy doesn't even react! I know he’s a ladies man in other media but this seems to prove it! The atmospheres feel new and fresh. Emerald Coast is a much prettier version of the SA1 level and it's where I realized I much prefer the Beach levels than Green Hill. Sadly I haven't played the other zones because this game is notoriously difficult, thanks to the AI cheating (I just thought I sucked. No joke, however, Shuffle is the Dark Souls of Sonic). Fourth Dimension Space blows my mind though. It looks to be extremely disorienting but gorgeous. I wish the Temple of Light, the only real consistent location, was in a higher resolution because I bet it would be really shiny and stuff; especially if all the cutscenes had been in the style that the very last cutscene was in. Speaking of which, it irks me that besides the intro, this last cutscene is the only time you see breathtaking graphics. The soundtrack is eclectic and unusual, which fits with the rest of the game’s uniqueness. It's a mix urban, DnB, funk, techno, jazz, and experimental freestyle DJ work (quoting someone who is observant here). Basically, when you put it on, expect a sort of musical noise. You probably won't hear another OST like Shuffle’s EVER. Along with the AI, there is a card system that goes from 1-6, S, and Eggman. I don't quite know why they kept it down to only 6 but eh, it works. Some people find the mini-games but I find them very fun. If nothing else, they are delightfully wacky. Some of my favorites are Sonic Parasol and Ring Tide, both beach related, they make me smile. Manic Maze might as well be gameception, as players get transported into board game! It's such a hilarious concept! Some other goofy mini-games include Sonicooking, where a solo player controls a frying pan with the other three players in it (basically you can cook them. Yum.), and Sonic DJ where a solo player controls a disc that the other three players stand on (they get stumble when you scratch the disc xD). Sonic Surfing, which is exactly what you'd expect from it's title, is fun just difficult to master. These are the kinds of things that make the game charming to me. There are some mini-events as well but it's been too long since I've played them to remember any of them. Even though a good majority of the in-game dialogue is ripped from SA1, I think its one of it's best features. As in, most lines are amusing. The dialogue for cutscenes are a bit jagged, cryptic, and incomplete. But I still it nonetheless. One of my favorite lines of all time are “WHAT EEEEVIL INVENTION SHOULD I USE THIS TIME?...” Then after the roulette wheel thingy of the Eggman Card has chosen the victim’s fate, “THIS IS WHAT I’LL DO TO YOUUU…” It’s just hilarious.
   

I think Shuffle is alot darker and applicable in terms of storyline than one might realize but you’d probably have to play the game for yourself with open eyes to see that. This is the only Sonic game to feature the complexity of dreams and the battle of loneliness. The latter is why the supposed villain, Void, is so special to me, as I relate to him on a deep level. He’s sort of like Gaara from Naruto in a way; one desperately wants love, the other desperately wants to be whole and have a reason for living. When Void shouts “Why was I born?!” it honestly hit home with me and made me tear up because I felt unloved and without a purpose for the longest time. His name even fits; his heart is vacant, soundless, an endless chasm, a void. His one desire is to be whole and he felt that his actions of seeking out the Precioustone were the product of fulfilling this need. What he didn't realize is that his dark powers shattered the lifeforce of his world and of everyone's dreams. On that note, the scene where all four characters encourage Lumina with their words are the most powerful words I've ever heard. The same goes for very last lines in the game. You'd think a small project like Shuffle wouldn't have much more lore than that but that's not the case! If you are observant, you will find there are lots of interesting unanswered questions that bring up theories and such. These reasons might seem strange to others who see Shuffle as just another Wild Card in the deck of Sonic games but I see it as a one of a kind gem.

A Wikipedia page for Geekvolution is created, I join and add to it. I have become the only person who edits and updates the page. I've tried to share it often and make people aware.

(October '16) Alice Cooper Halloween Concert at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio... (November & beyond) Interest in politics, news, real events peaks again. More than ever before, in fact. In time for the brutal, contentious presidential election and aftermath. Voted for Trump, not a decision I took lightly. Had to stop Clinton at any cost. Proud of that! 

(2017) - Final class/semester (Intermediate Acting) at MSJC. I'm so done, so don't care anymore! -(June) Moody Blues Concert at Pala Casino Starlight Theater, 25th Birthday!!
-(Today) That's all folks!! Geekvolution Road ends here and now for me. I will make final updates to the Wiki page, watch a few more things and maybe share them around, for the final time. I'm stepping back, and unplugging from everything. I'm to the point of total exhaustion, intolerance, and annoyance with the whole scene. -Entertainment and fake news alike, all politicized garbage & propaganda. It's so hard to escape from it. But I did, I awoke to reality, completely. I will no longer be indoctrinated or engulfed in the mass brainwashing of Cultural Marxism & Fascist censorship.
No more financial support or attention paid to the Hollywood system, Comic Industry, Video Games, and celebrities. Nor the retarded, zombified audiences married to their electronic devises, living in virtual world's, who would never survive a day in nature. I can't be associated with all the sheep still asleep. Instead, I must join the population with which I can have an intelligent conversation about what is really going on. Yes!! I was NEVER a "card carrying Geek", just had mild interests in certain areas. Now, I'm Out!! Thanks everyone, it was okay yet frustrating while it lasted!!
-Major Transition In Progress (2018 & Beyond): Finally move the hell out of COMMIE-Fornia, over to Arizona. To live much happier and healthier. I'll prepare and train for the coming crisis (Economic Crash, Civil War, World War 3) and aftermath. -Stock up on Guns & Ammo, Gold, Food, Medicine, Communications. Learn to stand up for myself, take control, fight to support our President and the agenda. I'm stronger than ever, a patriot, about to help take our country back. If the empire falls, then it can be remade great again.
Goodbye!! End Transmission....
