Sonic versus the Black Kiniggit - Page 8

^ That's stupid. They already do refer to him as Dr. Robotnik on a regular basis, especially when Shadow's whole backstory thing is concerned, what with calling Ivo's grandfather Dr. Gerald Robotnik and his cousin Maria Robotnik. His name is Robotnik and the newer games consistently make you very much aware of this.

Are you so emotionally needy that you need him to be called Dr. Robotnik every time you see him to reassure your fragile psyche?

The name's Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. Get over it.

No.

I hear every member of his family but him getting called Robotnik. I always hear, "Eggman!" "Eggman did this!" "Eggman did that!"

Why do I want the name Robotnik so bad? It's a number of things. On the one hand, it's nostalgia. When I play a Sonic game, not only do I want it to be a good game, but since it is an icon from my childhood, I want it to appeal to that nostalgia.

Secondly, Eggman just sounds dumb. It's a retarded name, no two ways about it. Why is Robotnik better? Well, it actually has to do with robots. Secondly, Ivo Robotnik is much more fitting. It sounds like the name of a power hungry Russian scientist gone mad.

Lastly, I hate having to call him Eggman when talking about the new games, and go to Robotnik when talking about the old ones when it's the same damn guy and the old name was better.

It's not a major complaint, but it does bother me, and outright insulting me for not liking what he's named since the Dreamcast days is rude and uncalled for.

Yeah pretty much that. Although not necessarily "insulting for not liking what he's named since the Dreamcast" as much as "insulting over a name in a video game that, by common knowledge, is the result of different translations." Subzero, that's not how we roll.

Anyway looking at the post count we're pretty much done here, aren't we?

Would people still care about these games if they didn't remember them from when they were on the Genesis and good?

Sonic is serious business, apparently.
