Sonic The Hedgehog

  One of the first video games I remember playing as a kid and still enjoy to this day is Sonic the Hedgehog.

Originally created in the early nineties by programmer Yuji Naka  and artist Naoto Ohshima who at the time were working for Sega.

Sonic was basically Sega’s way of trying to compete against Nintendo and their famous character Mario.

The first Sonic the Hedgehog game came out of for the Sega Genesis and to say that it made an impact, would be an understatement. 

I remember playing this as a kid, and I just loved it. What was unique about Sonic was the speed of the character. The level designs were also incredible especially for the time, just watching that speedy blue hedgehog race through each stage was definitely enjoyable to watch. Though I must confess, the drawback to that was you never really got to appreciate all the artwork and graphics of the game.

And of course, there were more games to follow for Sonic and his friends as they continued to fight for freedom against the evil Doctor Robotnik or Eggman as some like to call him.

Out of all of the sonic games I enjoyed, was Sonic Adventure 2 for the Sega Dreamcast. In my humble opinion, to me this was not only peak Sonic, but peak Dreamcast and peak Sega as we all know that the Dreamcast sadly was killed off and Sega took a massive hit.

Despite all that Sonic was able to survive and join in some legendary video games with Nintendo. Games like Super Smash Brothers and Mario vs Sonic Olympic Games just to name a few.

The latest Sonic game I got to play was on my PS4 called Sonic Forces. And to be honest, I really did enjoy it. Now Sonic games haven’t really been as good as they once were, but I truly did enjoy this game.

Now another reason I enjoyed Sonic was that he had some amazing cartoons when I was a kid. From the original Sonic the Hedgehog, to Sonic Underground and of course Sonic X.

I hope that Sonic can continue to thrive in this industry and hopefully find a new generation of fans. Remember everyone he is the fasting thing alive 😁

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
