Sonic and the Black Knight: Pinback Edition – Knight’s Passage
Sonic and the Black Knight: Pinback Edition – Knight’s Passage Did you consider replacing “Fight the Knight” blasphemous on my end? If so, then let’s see you try calling the original theme for this stage superior. This is a showcase of Sonic and the Black Knight with ADX loops of Pinback songs, which comprise the…
Welcome to the Republic.
You’ve just entered the homepage for the blog and online hub of Sam Burke, an aspiring comic book writer with high-functioning autism. Primarily, the purpose is to post about any subject I happen to be interested in, but with time, it’ll also become a hosting location for my writer’s portfolio, photo galleries, and personal wiki-style database. Named and themed after the main hero of my comic series ElectroNuke, which I hope to publish at DC Comics someday, this blog will become both a somber and endearing gathering site for topics ranging from future comic stories of mine like Agent Nowhere, Thunder Squad, ElectroVerse: Batman, Black Comet, and The Soul Trail; to my befuddlement at having grown up in elementary school watching a graphic antireligious documentary; my borderline inexplicable rivalry with a pink-haired anime love fairy; my general annoyance and discomfort towards the art style she originated from; how tastefully two music videos taking place in Tokyo portray Japanese culture; a criminally underrated San Diego indie band that no one knows or cares about; and the thanks I receive for the transformative video game mods I make and upload in the form of incessant ridicule. The possibilities are endless!
My complete bio will be available in the database tab, but from the entries and media I post here, more details will be provided on my past memories from my old home in Pennsylvania; the many pleasures and displeasures of my current situation; my mostly positive but somewhat fractured relationship with my family; the unusual social and emotional symptoms that come with my disability; video game franchises like Sonic the Hedgehog, Batman: Arkham, and Red Dead Redemption; my love for certain musical genres and hatred for others; the web shows I enjoy like RedLetterMedia, Defunctland, Space Ice, and those covering lost media; and plenty more. If anything, view this blog as a personal diary tailor-made for a general audience with an appealing design and user-friendly layout. Feel free to explore the clear, sunlit shallow waters and dark, obscure hadal zone of this pretentious, self-indulgent online landscape, and if you find my negative feelings toward anime particularly abhorrent, feel free to send all your hate mail by contacting me directly at dontyouhavebetterthingstodo@getalife.com.
