Sonic the Hedgehog

Many people don't know that Aronofsky's "The Wrestler" is a thinly disguised adaptation of Sonic's memoirs.  As a tribute to my planned trip to Rolla, Mo, I want to talk about Sonic.  Sonic the Hedgehog is not the only game I've played in Rolla.  We of course also played a LOT of "is the townie 18", but Rolla is also the town that showed us Sonic at the top of his game.  It really added something to the standard platforming formula of the day.  Sonic really was fast and that was exciting. We won't talk more about what they have done to Sonic since then.
