Space travel.

Power armour.

Swords.

Mars.

Dinosaurs.

And of course wives in videogames are better because they usually die instead of whine at you. Usually.

*Sigh* Another Sonic hate joke?

It's really starting to get old now, since Sonic Games have been crap sor about a decade now.

And the only way it's going to get better is if Sega/Sonic Team goes out of buisness, (they deserve it, those fuckbags) and a good developer will pick up the franchise AND ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Now I'll still be rooting for Sonic (God, I want a decent platformer that's NOT Mario), and we all know he won't die, just like Mario spin-offs.

And Charlie, can you pretty please change hedgehog to videogames? My life feels so depressed with my favorite game character OF ALL TIME being the butt of all jokes. Please?

I had a good one actually

Real Nathan Hale VS. Resistance Nathan Hale

-Both gave their lives for their country
-One was a beastly spy fighting rebellion
-One was an infected super soldier fighting aliens
-Both crazy cool last words...
REAL HALE "My only regret is that I have but one life to lose for my country"
RESISTANCE HALE "This is just the beginning.."
-One was hung for treason
-One was shot in the face due to evil conversion

hmmm..... :/

Lol the real life hedgehog won...anyway i think you outta have given religious extremests to the real world. Sure the Elites and Covenant are crazy, but have you seen an Islamic extremest? Those guy are really fucking crazy. Of course the Covenant wanna destroy the Earth, and the extremests wanna destroy America...extremests win because they're more fucking crazy.

And i got one

Dogs:
In videogames, we got Dogmeat, who kicks ass and takes names, finds weapons and ammo for you, and follows you through the ruins of DC

Real dogs...well they take a dump wherever they can, pee on trees, and bark at people

Winner: Videogames

Haha, love the "Rocks" one. That was a close one, not much can beat a pile of inanimate objects but those Pokemon sure showed them.

flowers (fire flower, pikmin, that ps3 game flower)

guns (needler, landshark gun, gravity gun)

vehicles/transport (pretty much every game beats real transport)

the moon (majora's mask moon)

the sun (mario bros 3 sun)

temples/dungeons (stone tower temple or spirit temple vs taj mahal or tower of london)

racing (F-Zero, mario kart)

pets (pokemon, spore)

time (braid, ocarina)

death (respawns, 1ups)

smashing your brother (its quite satisfying in real life but smash bros is better)

space (empty nothingness vs talking foxes, plumbers, zombies, invaders, etc)

anyone who is under the unfortunate delusion that sonic is awesome should go watch zero punctuation's review on sonic unleashed! Sonic could kill anything 20 years ago, but not now. now he sucks. balls.

Real beach volley ball Vs. Dead or Alive Extreme volley ball....hmm, well if Playboy took up volley ball, I think it would end up a stalemate.

The most our plants can do is eat flies
