As a longtime gamer with memories of chasing after that blindingly fast blue mascot since the 90s, I must admit, the return of the original Sonic design, albeit in an ugly sweater form, has me feeling a mix of nostalgia and confusion. The first trailer for the 2020 Sonic movie was a hard pill to swallow, but the redesign and eventual success of the film were a much-needed palate cleanser.

In case you’ve only recently joined us, when the initial trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) was unveiled, viewers quickly criticized Sonic’s design. Paramount Pictures then stunned everyone by announcing they would postpone the film and revamp the main character, Sonic the Hedgehog. The new design was met with much more favorable responses from fans, and the movie ultimately became a hit, giving rise to a franchise that expanded into sequels and a television series.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m super-excited to share that I can’t wait for the next Sonic adventure hitting the big screen – Sonic the Hedgehog 3! I’ve got some fantastic news: Jim Carrey is back with a double dose of entertainment, while Keanu Reeves is jumping into the action as Shadow. And guess who’s returning to bring our favorite speedster to life? None other than Ben Schwartz!

Speaking of festive holiday attire, Microsoft has introduced a sweater modeled after the notorious Red Ring of Death error, which was popular among their staff. It seems this unique item flew off the shelves in no time.
