----------------------------------------------
This is the beginning of a project I had on mind for a while now (and is in no way related to the announcement of Sonic 4). Basically "The Essential" is my view of the core of Sonic games, that is, the games in the series that have stood the test of time as the best of the bunch, the games that anyone first getting into the series should play and appreciate. The order i'll be uploading them in will be chronological by release date of the game, and I will probably begin using "TEStH" or "The Essential StH" or something of the like if titles get too long, I haven't decided yet. And the little intro will change with each game as well.

In the videos i might do annotations commenting on certain aspects of the series or the level that is being played, just random things that I've found interesting in the series (and maybe some random trivia, who knows). This is to replace commentary that I would do if I had a microphone, so there is the option to turn them off if wanted. But that's a bit more work... i'll be sure to put a *NOW WITH ANNOTATIONS* or something if I decide on it

Besides not having means for vocal commentary, my only real regret at the moment is that I can't take advantage of youtube and upload in true HD/sex-D due to recording with a Dazzle. Therefore, for general quality control I highly recommend NOT widening the video player beyond its default, as the interlacing gets distracting. The 720p option with normal player size should have the best watching results (at least until I get to full screen games).

With all of that being said, this will all be casual play with the exception of getting the Chaos Emeralds (or any equivalent another game would have), shooting for the best possible endings. I hope everyone enjoys some classic and some of my favorite (and first) games. Good watchings!
