Suggest Video Ideas Here
Added 2020-12-03 00:34:14 +0000 UTCHey I forgot to make a post when the Sonic 3 Bonus Video went up but I figured if you're a big enough fan to give me money on Patreon you're probably subscribed to my YouTube channel so an announcement post wasn't really that necessary anyways. But uh, in case you somehow missed it, there's a link to it right there.
So I honestly don't plan on doing this that often, and I do have plenty of ideas of my own in my precious "ideas.txt" file sitting on my desktop, but I figure it would actually be interesting to hear what kind of ideas you guys had for potential videos. Just as a sort of way to gauge interest and see what my patrons are interested in. No promises but I might prioritize a potential video topic if I see a lot of my fans are into it.
So feel free to suggest any potential video ideas in the comments of this post, I assume most of them are going to be Sonic related but there's no rules, you can suggest anything and I'll consider it. I might even take some of the best ideas I have and some of the top suggestions here and make a poll with them and let you guys decide.
Comments
you probably don't check in very often on a now 3 year old post but hey as i mentioned in a comment one time it'd be cool if you did a sonic adventure bonus video, reading about the autodemo on tcrf is hard i need it regurgitated directly into my earholes by the funny sonic get out dog man voice

2022-04-22 00:58:06 +0000 UTCA video going over most of the interesting contents from the major Nintendo Gigaleaks a while back would be nice, as most info is all spread across the internet more than roadkill on an interstate. Call it the Gigaleak Bonus Video.

Ryan Schleifer
2021-02-01 02:06:45 +0000 UTCThere's gene in our genome named "Sonic Hedgehog" that plays multiple crucial roles in the development of organism embryos. It was discovered in the 90s while studying fruit flies and was presumably given a silly name before it turned out to be really important. "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" by Sean Carrol has some very accessible explanations of how it works if you want to really get into it, but also providing a link. tldr modern science says that Sonic Hedgehog is required for complex life to exist https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/gene/shh/
N. O. Marsh
2021-01-18 21:56:22 +0000 UTCYou know how everyone in their dog has been making tier lists lately? Clearly we need a tier list meme video where you rank all the games. ALL of them. Most Sonic tier lists I see are incomplete as they have no Sega Sonic Popcorn Shop or Sonic X for the Leapster.
Zaneme
2021-01-15 23:48:27 +0000 UTCTalk about the weird lyrics in Sonic music. Sonic and the Secret Rings have some weird ones. Do a deep dive on the GBA games or Big the Cat's legacy in the Sonic franchise. Talk about that insane Sonic World game. It's one of the only substantial 3d sonic fan projects. Those are some of my ideas.

Etymon Legomenon
2021-01-03 04:36:07 +0000 UTCHonestly, you should just go for whatever you find interesting, but that being said – I would LOVE to see a video about the fleetway sonic comics. And how you stumbled upon them, and what you make of them now.

Benjamin Howerton
2020-12-24 20:38:31 +0000 UTCStill excited to hear your thoughts on the Sonic Movie, I'm guessing it would be an entertaining video :) Totally random other idea: some kind of collab could be interesting! One that comes to mind is DarkspinesSonic, the speedrunner.

2020-12-22 05:33:46 +0000 UTCYou could thrash old webcomics like this: http://blueflare101.thisisourcorner.net/index.php?section=blueflare&p=lobf&comic=1 If you're interested enough, there's all the history of Psyguy/Fireball20xl and the eventual outcome of it all. There's archives here and there of things like That's My Sonic (https://www.angelfire.com/anime3/tms/new.html) or Jen's Ruins of the Fourth Wall (https://eggman-empire.tumblr.com/tagged/fan-comics-rotfw/chrono). Could get in to Tyson/Rittz/Rittzdog/Mechanical Penguin as well. That whole era and side of the community was pretty influential for the internet Sonic fandom but I'm not sure how involved in it you may have been.

2020-12-22 01:59:40 +0000 UTCThat would actually be really cool. Sonic has a load of really strange bootleg games like Sonic Adventure 7 and that Speedy Gonzales SNES sprite hack.

Not referring to fan projects, but things made by actual companies looking to cash-in on the Sonic the Hedgehog craze in the 90s?
2020-12-14 03:59:45 +0000 UTCA video on any of the sonic cartoons would probably be my first ask since there's not many good videos on the subject

2020-12-11 16:02:15 +0000 UTCHey Cybershell. If you're still taking video ideas. I remember talking with you in HPZ in your discord about Barkley: Shut up and Jam Gaiden and Barkley 2. You mentioned that you met Tales Of Games and were looking forward to it. Now that Barkley 2 isn't happening I was thinking that it might be a good idea to maybe look back at Barkley 2 and talk about what went wrong? I know some of that info is out there from the devs but it might be nice to have a summary of the Barkley 2 debacle in video form?

Josh Rock
2020-12-04 20:16:00 +0000 UTC1. Full reviews of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. Immensely curious to hear your in-depth opinions on them. 2. Something I've always wanted to see from you, a video about Sonic Robo Blast 2 with all the usual Cybershell shit, obscure lore, a somewhat comprehensive history of the game's development, lost versions, unused content, all that jazz. And of course reviewing the game itself. 3. Out of left-field but maybe something about Homestar Runner? 4. Someone mentioned this already, but more things like Cooking With Cybershell and Dog Time would be welcome. (Cat Time?) 5. Honestly, cartoons in general. I'd like to see you talk about animation.
S. Matt Maiola
2020-12-04 15:21:52 +0000 UTCI'd like to see you tackle a video on Chibi Robo, or Godhand. It could be a review of either of those games or a deep dive video like you did with those obscure sonic games or even Space station silicon valley.
Raicon
2020-12-04 07:26:26 +0000 UTCMake a video analyzing and discussing Sonic X and all the fun obscure facts about it. Like the Nazo image, the swearing in the Japanese Dub, etc. you could frame it like a “sonic x bonus video” or you could just discuss the show in general and talk about it

2020-12-03 13:32:15 +0000 UTCI don't have specific ideas (sorry) but I would love someday to see a video on any of these topics: The Sopranos Metal Gear Solid 2 Jet Set Radio Sonic Colors
Alex Yard
2020-12-03 13:08:59 +0000 UTCOne of your tweets just gave me an idea - a deep dive of archive.org's collection of Sega/Sonic websites throughout the years. It's a little overwhelming looking at how massive the sitemap is for sega.com, though. https://web.archive.org/web/sitemap/http://sega.com/ Sonic's official site is a little more manageable as they didn't do much with it until 2011. https://web.archive.org/web/sitemap/www.sonicthehedgehog.com

Sunnyfruit
2020-12-03 10:49:11 +0000 UTCI did a post then deleted it because I had an even better idea. Ever since I saw Sonic Crackers, I've been obsessed with the question, where the hell did it come from? We know where the SW prototype was from, but how the hell did Sonic Crackers get leaked? Who leaked it? Was it stolen? If so, HOW?! Id love a video on this mystery. Because its normal for betas to be stolen, leaked or even purchased on ebay nowadays. But Sonic Crackers was during the 90s. How that happened has to be an interesting rabbithole
Novel
2020-12-03 09:14:36 +0000 UTCSonic Shogakukan Manga is so fucking obscure it just screams it needs its own video. Lots of scans were popping up lately on Twitter and SonicRetro. This weird Japan-only canon really needs some research!

2020-12-03 06:53:09 +0000 UTCI really enjoy when you shine a light on fan projects. Are there any other video game franchises with an active rom hacking/fan game scene worth doing a deep dive into that you're aware of?
Becca
2020-12-03 05:55:47 +0000 UTCI'd love to see a video about Sonic Heroes, I feel like that game is overlooked compared to the others of the era. Sonic Forces too if there's anything interesting to say about it, I was actually looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it before your last break. You already did the most obscure video but I bet a video using some kind of humourous pseudo-scientific method to try to find the Worst Sonic Game Ever could do really well. Other than that, I'd love some more live action skits (Cooking With Cybershell Season 2?) or just long going over and reacting to whatever videos like the Sonic Bible and comics ones which are some of my favourites. I also liked the more personal videos recently about SSV and DK64 like JerKro said above, definitely wouldn't mind hearing more about any weird obscure games you grew up with!
solus★
2020-12-03 05:38:59 +0000 UTCI would love another video like the Top 10 Sonics video.
Jeff Emerson
2020-12-03 05:25:44 +0000 UTCI could request Sonic content all day, but I'm interested to explore what other ideas you might have. Mario is always an easy go-to, but are you planning on covering any other Nintendo games?

Rufus Isaakov
2020-12-03 04:21:10 +0000 UTCFor specific Sonic games, I’d be down with something based on SA2. I think your Chao and SADX vids were REALLY good. For anything Sonic related, I’d definitely like a continuation on anything about the comics. The Archie one was a great retrospective and I liked the start of the Fleetway conversation. Outside of Sonic, something on the Sopranos would be cool, but if you want to stay with gaming I think the personal experience vids like with Banjo and DK64 are a really cool way to talk about games in a different way.

2020-12-03 03:06:55 +0000 UTC-Sonic Spinball Video -A video where you attempt to construct your own interpretation of a Sonic timeline -You could make a Sonic 4 Bonus Video as a shitpost.

2020-12-03 01:51:10 +0000 UTCYes hi Cybershill, I would love to see more video on the Dreamcast game being SA2 and Shuffle and.or the 2D Handheld Games like the Game Gear games/Master System Games, Advanced Trilogy and Rush Trilogy. And now for that aren't Sonic, I loved your vids on Banjo, FF7 and Space Station Silicon Valley, I would love to see more videos on game you played wether it be obscure or not going into the secrets or reasons why you should play said game.
CyantoNishkino
2020-12-03 01:49:52 +0000 UTCI know you did a video on Archie Sonic back when it was ending, but I would love to see you tackle Archie Sonic again... in full. Everybody these days knows about Ken Penders and his wild echidna soap opera sci-fi shit, but Archie Sonic was so chaotic in every possible way, and despite being the face of its biggest problems, there was a lot more to it than just Penders. It's fascinating. As well, I think you might be one of the most qualified people out there to explain just how huge and incredible of an undertaking Ian Flynn's tidying up job was when he joined at issue 160. That's a stupid huge undertaking though, especially since "issue 160" is a bit misleading, there's actually like 200+ issues prior to Ian making the book not terrible, including the spin-offs and all. So, I'd also like to suggest Sonic Robo Blast 2. Its development history is long and the game's been through so much over the years, but as somebody who started following it very recently it's a lot to wrap my head around. I'd like to see you take a crack at discussing it.
2020-12-03 01:44:51 +0000 UTCanything similar to that dk64 golden banana video, it was so cool. also the friendship with sonic has ended video was really good humor-wise. happy to see you branch out into other video games, especially with the kind of cool detective work and retro trivia that the dk64 video involved
Datura
2020-12-03 01:39:48 +0000 UTCOh boy Ive got a mini list of ideas: Sonic Forces review, Sonic Movie video, More obscure Sonic trivia stuff, obscure games like Silicon Valley, the Sonic books like you said on the CyberShill video, an SRB2 video, other Sonic fangames, Sonic Mania mods like you said you'd love to show off ( Id love to see a video on the Totinos mod thatd be hilarious), and I dunno about you but Id be interested in possibly seeing a podcast or something from you. Really liked the Bonus Video and all your new videos. Cant wait to see whats next.

Doesn't even need to be Sonic, ramble about N64 accessories I don't give a shit. It'll be good regardless.

Duckroll
2020-12-03 00:39:55 +0000 UTCI think a few things that I hope Cyber takes into consideration when talking about video ideas is I’d honestly love to see him talking about all the “mainline” series’, by that I mean the TV shows and maybe the OVA incorporated in there and further detail about them. I’d love to see what he thinks of them and talk which are bad and good in terms of storyline and characters. I think it would make a great video because I mean you’ve covered the comics which was pretty neat, what if you extend that outside media and have a video on the TV series’? I’d think it be pretty cool too if Cyber talked about a bit about the film that released earlier this year. I know he spoke about it in a podcast that its name I cannot recall but there is so much stuff BTS wise that would nice if he covered. Just a few ideas, I look forward to what you do next..

2020-12-03 00:39:25 +0000 UTCI would be interested in seeing a video about rumors about Sonic: what interesting but false claims have been made about Sonic on the playground or on message boards, e.g. Sonic and Tails being playable in Super Smash Bros. Melee? Bonus points if you can track down the sources for these rumors.

2020-12-03 00:39:10 +0000 UTCSo far of all of the new content you've made Sonic related and Non-Sonic, I think its some of the best videos you've ever put out. I actually kind of enjoyed the Banjo video and the Space Station video just because of the obscurity. I'd love to see more obscure/stupid easter egg shit. Plus its much better when you read all the stuff I could read off websites or play games I could just play myself.
Seth Beattie
2020-12-03 00:38:29 +0000 UTCWhat about a video that plays Devil's Advocate and talks about the positive aspects of Sonic 06? I know it's a really bad game, but I DO think some redeeming qualities exist in it that are worth exploring.
