8ch in this case, not 4chan. As to what is it with 8ch getting shit right, shit, dunno, man. Karma laughing, I don't know. Why of everyone on Earth it had to be Mark getting to do this I've no idea, but proves God has a sense of humour.

[GoldnEdge]

i just found out about the guy today because of all these leaks, who exactly is Mark. seems like people know of him

[Eggman]

Any one know why the stream keeps loading non stop? I really wanna watch this!

Owner of 8ch's /v/ board, New Yorker, all the trappings of what's commonly called a lolcow except he's too aware of his status. He eats a giant cake every year on his board's birthday posting photos of it on a thread as people mock him. He was part of the trolling of Shia LaBoeuf's He Will Not Divide Us, coming in to shout things like "I'm Batman, I'm an autist, I'm the law, I'm the law, I'm the law". He's overall a complete idiot with no social skills who is also great as kind of a mascot to be amazed at.

VK seems to have some issues with some people. I heard people talk about updating Flash and making sure there's an exception added to it to allow VK to play, dunno.

Fucking Sandopolis Act 2's gimmick is back

Fuck you. That shit was annoying.

 

Oh it's doing more than that

the pollution gets cleared via the switches, but if it gets too cloudy, the pollution starts eating away at your rings

Fucking Oil Ocean. It was annoying as fuck back in Sonic 2 and it looks to be even more annoying here. 

But it's still a great zone. Would love to see it getting the HD 3D Boost treatment. 

 

[Eggman]

Ahhh much better!

[Blue Wisp]

Spoiler

Those two things that appear in Oil Ocean Act 2's boss fight are from another boss. God it escapes me though.

Looks like all remastered stages have Eggman as the boss while the new stages have the Hard Boiled Heavies. Interesting. Wonder if that means a Hard Boiled Heavy is the final boss. 

EDIT: This gonna be a loooooooong night.

Don't blame him, 

Spoiler

Oil Ocean's stage layout in Sonic 2 and here

fucking sucks. Obnoxious level. 

[Zippo]

Yeah, gotta say, not happy about Oil Ocean's inclusion either. Mystic Cave was a much, much better option. 

[McGroose]

Mystic Cave was a boring zone. Oil Ocean was always one of my favorite Sonic 2 levels.

[Eggman]

This game looks like it would be great on mobile

[GoldnEdge]

i hope he wins

[Blue Wisp]

Fucking Zone man. It's a piece of shit. I want to see mooooore.

[Polkadi~☆]

blimey, this bloke is BAAAAAD

[Red]

Does everyone want this game to be piss easy or something? Why are you all asking for easy levels over hard ones? It seems like anything resembling difficulty in this game is getting backlash.

I honestly love this new take on Oil Ocean. I can't wait to play this for myself!

[Blue Wisp]

Spoiler

Okay, after Oil Ocean there's three more stages. One of them must be new. He just showed the Time Attack stage select.

no one wants for this game to be piss easy... dude keeps making the same mistakes, its like his 4th or 5th time on oil ocean. the stage itself is nice and might be a challenge but im sure i wouldnt be stuck in the same spot for this long

[Zippo]

At least two are new, two more Heavies means two more new stages.

Man, that's a let down considering there are.

Two heavies left and by the leaks we know what the two old remaining stages are.

From my perspective I think Oil Ocean is just an overall unpopular stage. It's not my favorite either (and not saying that to suggest no one likes the stage).

[Mauro Fonseca]

He's now on that gameplay zone where you keep failing so you get frustrated and play worse so keep failing.
