That has been an amazing an weekend, not only that but when i got another glance with Sonic Racing CrossWorlds this time at Open Network Test, and then... something new outside of CrossWorlds, not just that but... a LOT other stuff happened this friday and i'm here on this journal to talk about it!
Sonic Racing CrossWorlds
I'm really excited for Sonic Racing CrossWorlds next month, i haven't been this excited for every new Sonic games since Unleashed n' All-Stars Transformed but as for this game, y'know this will definitely win me over i mean Sonic is on FIRE this decade, yeah yeah... i know, i know the 2010s for Sonic has been a bit of a disaster beyond redemption, and now they're finally getting things right special thanks to the TRUE sonic devs n' writers especially YOU Ian Flynn, and as for CrossWorlds tho, this can be a comeback to the Sonic Riders series and All-Stars Transformed but all combined into one game but warp in to our fan-favorite levels throughout the franchise we haven't seen in a decade, and somehow... this could rival up Mario Kart World or Kirby Air Riders this year, oh yeah... Mario Kart World did came out before CrossWorlds, last few months at Switch 2 launch and........ ouch... at least Kirby Air Riders would make it up.
Anyways with Open Network Test out, i can finally play with the style of Extreme Gear (which i primarly use for this game cuz i miss Sonic Riders)! Grand Prix is a rival fest where i can rival up the opponents in this mode, i always go with Sonic Speed so it'll be more challenging for me to race against them, Time Trials is also neat but the World Match is competetive as hell no matter how much you compete everyone online but it does level you up a ranking system everytime you reach to the finish line, doesn't matter what place you're at as long you're not too frustrated, just take your time and win next time to reach the highest rank to become a legend. Overall, i did had fun with the Open Network Test plus i'm gonna be up all night for the festival and Joker. And now for the full release i am looking forward next month!
There's also a new animated short followed up to the Network Test and it was FUCKIN' FIRE! The same animators who made Dark Beginnings are back to promote a short for this game, is anyone getting 2008 Speed Racer vibes here?!
Rollin' Rascal
I haven't brought this one up but this is a Sonic GT (or Blitz/Worlds)-like indie game that goes expressively hard, and as a big-time Sonic fan myself i can get a good taste for what they're cooking up for this project, after playing the demo for myself i can say i really liked playing it! like the momentum platform is a good idea if Sonic Team step this one up with momentum speed automatically earning the boost like in Advance 2 without boosting manually too much, with Rollin' Rascal on the other hand they nailed it, it's like i'm testing reflexes with the momentum and avoiding bumping in walls n' enemies to break the speed limit to the max, that was this game's building up to for newcomers n' any sonic fans who haven't played this, try out the demo and have fun with the multiplayer mode to race with other people!
Now it's time for the Rundown! It's quite fantastic teasing new stuff, new chapter system, new levels such as Donut Derby n' Wild Waste and new characters we should like, they also opened up PledgeBox for pre-order after the launch, they also finished the Outfit Packs, that was neat! I also love the new expression animation here they feel so alive and pretty funny to lighten up the mood! OH, and when i saw that the game is gonna be ported onto Switch 2, good for them! Anything to make Nintendo Switch holders happy to play the game! :D
They're also hiring voice actors/actresses for the game, yes...! yes...! I am so gonna look forward to hearing voices for two protagonists and other new characters, it's a great opportunity for them auditioning a role for this game! If you're one of the voice actors/actresses who wants to audition a role for a protagonists or background characters, then this game is perfectly for you, gonna leave a link down below to get your chance, check it out the link below:

Yeah, that's kinda about it, i like the rundown n' new stuff to anticipate the following updates, good stuff! good stuff!
Knights of Guinevere
It's been years since The Owl House finale and Dana's departure from Disney to work on new projects, and then she found GLITCH to pitch her next series "Knights of Guinevere"! GLITCH's first and fully 2D animated indie series Dana Terrace has been building up along with her crew who worked on The Owl House, the first teaser got me hooked and the next trailer is where i am so pumped to watch next month and obviously a week before Sonic Racing CrossWorlds. Cool! Two anticipated gems for next month! The setting of this series reminds me of Fallout, DeadEndia or The Electric State (no, it's not the movie) with some bits of elements in with some inspiration by disney theme parks, well... 80s style kind of theme park to an instant, it feels so tragically psychological and dystopian what happened to the theme park and a broken princess android, if this is a wakeup call of what Disney is milking in recently and how greed they are, then this will be the answer to easily mock them. I had my time with Gaslight District, as for Guinevere? Well... dream on cuz this is gonna be a lot of insane stuff happening, surprise us Terrace! >:3
Rebecca Sugar's Ice Water
I don't know what to say about this but... this song is beautiful...! Rebecca Sugar is back with another banger along with the music video by Jellybox, i can tell when you're starting as an artist no matter what happens or where you go, you just got everything with you to start your journey, and it hits really hard, this is a love letter to many artists who graduated and begin to work in the industry so talented, and yeah... i know there are hell'ish things this decade has rough around the edges but that doesn't stop you from becoming an artist you are now, and this song will help you and inspire you to keep on drawing and never give up on your dreams to start fresh! Rebecca delivered this beautifully for artists, animators, etc.!
Oh yeah, this is also featured on the Album "Lonely Magic", there are plenty of songs Rebecca wrote and sung for this album, "Hill to Die On" is popularly a favorite for this album, many others are great as well especially "This Is a Love Song" which rocks, but "Ice Water" will always be a heartwarmer for many artist to listen to~
If ya haven't listened or watched this yet, give it a try! It will change your life and help you become a better artist! :3
Far-Fetched / DRAIN - Bleed You Dry
Do i need to say anything? After the hyjack on Bluesky where Drain is taking over and man were they teasing us a new song for us to listen for Far-Fetched?! I was expecting new animated trailer but no, they showed off the new song Sesamoid wern't involved, also this song does give me some Hex Girls aesthetics here and the vocals from Soulfiera is kinda top notch, so..... that's about it for this takeover i guess, i will be expecting more from the team behind Far-Fetched.
Go listen to this song:
They must love their jobs surprising us with new stuff to anticipate and few came out swinging, that was the friday i've ever had and it's not even enough! I love all of them and i can check them out anytime! :3
It's the 6th time i'm participating on a monthly art event this year, and now as Team Crystal, wouldn't hurt to mine some diamonds n' emeralds around here, also it's been 6 years since i've been on ArtFight and enjoying this 6 year-long fighting with the artist to draw, if ya wanna fight me, then come at me!

Yeah, it's kind of a disappointment since i've been on BlueSky for 2 years and then things starts to go sour for it's platform, same with Twitter, i don't think it's clicking with me enough to stay on that platform, i mean not all things bad cuz i did have a good first impression, it was small, quiet and kinda user-friendly enough to migrate and there was nothing to complain! Speaking of which... that was until BlueSky as been blowing up on a #1 downloaded app on App Store n' Google Play Store and this is where bigots, neo-nazis n' edgelords starts to intrude and that left me shocked cuz that platform was not suppose to be popular at the time, i would rather have the platform stay independent and small for lesser known people like with SheezyArt and NekoWeb and i think it's better that way, but around later last year, people have been migrating over to BlueSky since they became fed up with Twitter and Muskrat and i think that makes sense and understandable. Though i'm still bummed that Whispy won't come to forewishing, i was excited for it and looking forward to migrate since there's much more feature to make the platform more user-friendly, but instead we got BlueSky and Threads which is a minor disappointment and there's not much features that would make it up so it's kinda bland, empty and not much to interact, so... it's not enough for me.
I'm not saying BlueSky is bad, just... i don't feel like i could stay there for any longer since it's been itching down my neck after it became a next social media powerhouse as Twitter was before, well... that doesn't mean i'll be ditching all social medias, i still have Instagram and Youtube in my back pocket and i can still post stuff there, just don't expect everything much, and if it gets worse... then maybe i'll migrate over to MelonLand, at least it's based on the 90s web and with people to interact or elsewhere that'll be in the works, i dunno.
Yeah... those are my thoughts on current BlueSky for now. :/
Happiii Burfdaiii to meee, and yes as it's the end of the day, i managed to finish up my website, finally, but it's still in heavy work in progress so not all pages n' sections are finished, so look out for these when i get em' delivered no time flat! 👍

Hi, so... since the new Nintendo Switch 2 is out, people have been having a blast with this new console and especially when playing Mario Kart World and Deltarune, this has got to be one of the most improved and smoother console since PS4 (to an extent), i don't know if it's gonna sell well or flop like with the Wii U or Xbox One, but we'll be sure if the Switch 2 holds up to the console generation like with the Original Switch....
Anyways, if one of you are asking me since i'm late for the party at launch whenever i pre-ordered it or getting it upfront afterwards since i didn't want to miss out? Um... sorry, i'm still skipping it, not because i hate it or want it to fail, that's not the case, i'm sure some people are excited to get it, i've seen few of my friends has gotten a Switch at launch and i even watch GamesCage' live stream to get his own switch at Midnight (i miss this hype launch), and many other people are still boycotting it due to the price so high, Nintendo wouldn't listen to their feedback and... they still never lower their prices on their first-part games and especially in discounts. So, If you want a Switch 2 by chance, then that's totally fine, more power to you! I had to hold off at launch because... i don't feel like buying it, that's it... i'll just wait until Christmas when i get my hands on a Switch 2. IF... i trade-in my old Switch with System Transfer because i can't just have two or more Switches at a time, plus i will get some accessories, cases and protections to secure my new Switch pretty well like i got with my Steam Deck.
While it's not overhyped like with the Original Switch, it's still worth buying if you're going with the Mario Kart World Bundle cuz that game cost $20 more likely as future PS5 titles it's just fucking insane how they keep milking the prices for multiple AAA video games as they tried to capture the cinematic narrative experience to look prettier and nicer like with the Playstation Studios titles and whatever GTA 6 is milking in now, but still, not every games have to be hyper-realistic to price games super high, i'm still gonna get Metroid Prime 4 and Pokémon Legends Z-A, they're my most anticipated games of this year and i'm still gonna play it on my new Switch 2 at the end of the year, i had my fun with the original Switch and that's that. Oh, and i won't get most of the third-parties cuz some are still locked by Game-Key n' digitally and i can buy them on any other console and especially my Steam Deck, so... i'm still gonna hold on til' i decide when i can buy em' or so.
So... yeah, i won't buy the Nintendo Switch 2 until the holiday comes after Z-A, so that's gonna be it for now, what are your thoughts on the new Switch 2?
