TGI 572 – Jocelyn Watched Sonic 2
Yes, you read that correctly, Jocelyn watched Sonic 2 because of your awesome Extra Life donations in 2022. However, we didn’t record an audio commentary, as we figured a podcast discussion would be the most accessible way to hear Jocelyn’s journey through this SEGA epic. While we didn’t think we could talk about Sonic 2 for an hour, we sort of did… But fear not! We have a few video game news stories as well with the increase in price for PlayStation Plus tiers and the confirmation that Elder Scrolls 6 has entered early development.
