   I still check here from time to time frankly because I miss it, or at least   
   how it was back when Sega had hardware to peddle. There's no good, centralized   
   Sega discussion forum out there which appeals to me. I suppose sega.com should   
   be it. I dunno.    
   Still wonder what a few people are up to.   
      
   Sonic Colors is very nice as is Sonic Generations. I rather enjoyed the   
   latter, but it still unnerves me that Sega still to this day cannot get the   
   Genesis Sonic physics right. The 2-D portions of Generations (and Unleashed to   
   that extent) are still    
   enjoyable, but they still are too bogged down in a restrictive physics engine   
   and QTE route changing to come anywhere near the early Sonic games. If you can   
   set aside your expectations on that a 2-D Sonic game should be, then they're   
   quite enjoyable.    
   Same goes for Sonic Rush on that note, too.   
      
   I've been enjoying the Sega Vintage Collections and Dreamcast releases on Xbox   
   360. I've completed the Monster World and Streets of Rage collections as well   
   as played a good bit of Space Channel 5 Pt. II and Crazy Taxi over the   
   holidays. I really miss    
   the Sega of old. :/ I will say that video games aren't as bleak as they felt   
   coming out of the Dreamcast's collapse, but that's a torch largely picked up   
   by indie developers. Fez, Dust: An Elysian Tale, Trials Evolution, Spelunky,   
   and a few others made    
   2012 worthwhile for me -- Sega, Namco, and Konami not so much.
