Suggest Video Ideas Here

Hey I forgot to make a post when the Sonic 3 Bonus Video went up but I figured if you're a big enough fan to give me money on Patreon you're probably subscribed to my YouTube channel so an announcement post wasn't really that necessary anyways. But uh, in case you somehow missed it, there's a link to it right there. 

So I honestly don't plan on doing this that often, and I do have plenty of ideas of my own in my precious "ideas.txt" file sitting on my desktop, but I figure it would actually be interesting to hear what kind of ideas you guys had for potential videos. Just as a sort of way to gauge interest and see what my patrons are interested in. No promises but I might prioritize a potential video topic if I see a lot of my fans are into it. 

So feel free to suggest any potential video ideas in the comments of this post, I assume most of them are going to be Sonic related but there's no rules, you can suggest anything and I'll consider it. I might even take some of the best ideas I have and some of the top suggestions here and make a poll with them and let you guys decide. 

Comments

you probably don't check in very often on a now 3 year old post but hey as i mentioned in a comment one time it'd be cool if you did a sonic adventure bonus video, reading about the autodemo on tcrf is hard i need it regurgitated directly into my earholes by the funny sonic get out dog man voice

Roach

That Segata Sanshiro video would be nice

WaylonPK

Either a shitpost or serious video going over and ranking each and every single rerelease and port of the original sonic the hedgehog, going into detail not only on the game, but the controller used on said console and how that effects gameplay.

ChrisCube

A video going over most of the interesting contents from the major Nintendo Gigaleaks a while back would be nice, as most info is all spread across the internet more than roadkill on an interstate. Call it the Gigaleak Bonus Video.

ChrisCube

i kinda would love to see more internet stories, ones that don't go deep into their personal lives and their families and whatever. Operation Soda Steal was terrific, and so was the Tamers video

Liz Wedekind

sonic 4 bonus video

Otis Harvey-Broad

I'd love to hear the promised "thoughts on every single panel" in TGT

thatonedudethatyouknow

Metal Slug. There's a bunch of art and info you can find about it here: http://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/msmia/

Gutsybird

Make a whole video on Sonic the fighters! Or the IDW comics! OR Sonic in minecraft! There's so much to talk about...

Gutsybird

Sonic Xtreme development video

Ethan Lozoya

& Knuckles Bonus Video when? and more about Adventure and its sequel

onkell

I would also really like a video on the manga and the pre-sonic adventure japanese canon

Ryan Schleifer

I’d also really like a history and review of Sonic Robo Blast 2

Ryan Schleifer

I would also enjoy more videos on the fleetway comics

Ryan Schleifer

There's gene in our genome named "Sonic Hedgehog" that plays multiple crucial roles in the development of organism embryos. It was discovered in the 90s while studying fruit flies and was presumably given a silly name before it turned out to be really important. "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" by Sean Carrol has some very accessible explanations of how it works if you want to really get into it, but also providing a link. tldr modern science says that Sonic Hedgehog is required for complex life to exist https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/gene/shh/

N. O. Marsh

You know how everyone in their dog has been making tier lists lately? Clearly we need a tier list meme video where you rank all the games. ALL of them. Most Sonic tier lists I see are incomplete as they have no Sega Sonic Popcorn Shop or Sonic X for the Leapster.

Zaneme

Talk about the weird lyrics in Sonic music. Sonic and the Secret Rings have some weird ones. Do a deep dive on the GBA games or Big the Cat's legacy in the Sonic franchise. Talk about that insane Sonic World game. It's one of the only substantial 3d sonic fan projects. Those are some of my ideas.

Azizi

Rank all the games Play all the obscure games something on Sonic Shuffle Read the books Sonic merchandise Sonic costumes Development information and betas Whatever you’re interested in

ASBR

I'm curious, how would you rank the 2D Sonic games? Or the 3D sonic games? Or the Sonic characters? Or the top 10 Sonics?

Etymon Legomenon

Honestly, you should just go for whatever you find interesting, but that being said – I would LOVE to see a video about the fleetway sonic comics. And how you stumbled upon them, and what you make of them now.

Lisa Medin

You should do a video on Sonic Adventure 1 vs Sonic Adventure 2

ZeroVector518

We need a video on all the Sega mandates and other weird and objectively wrong and strange ideas and decisions sega and sonic team made. I got this idea from watching your new video where you mention sega doesn’t want money to exist in sonic

Kiezly

A Chris Chan video pls

Ethan Lozoya

just saw the new video loved it

Nicholas Nava

I want you to be the deadpan voice of reason in as many videos as you can, just like Daftpina's Mr.Enter video Also a video on Rocket-Robot on Wheels would be great, maybe a video on the Mandela effect? You'd cover that well.

Benjamin Howerton

Still excited to hear your thoughts on the Sonic Movie, I'm guessing it would be an entertaining video :) Totally random other idea: some kind of collab could be interesting! One that comes to mind is DarkspinesSonic, the speedrunner.

Gg

You could thrash old webcomics like this: http://blueflare101.thisisourcorner.net/index.php?section=blueflare&p=lobf&comic=1 If you're interested enough, there's all the history of Psyguy/Fireball20xl and the eventual outcome of it all. There's archives here and there of things like That's My Sonic (https://www.angelfire.com/anime3/tms/new.html) or Jen's Ruins of the Fourth Wall (https://eggman-empire.tumblr.com/tagged/fan-comics-rotfw/chrono). Could get in to Tyson/Rittz/Rittzdog/Mechanical Penguin as well. That whole era and side of the community was pretty influential for the internet Sonic fandom but I'm not sure how involved in it you may have been.

Sails

That would actually be really cool. Sonic has a load of really strange bootleg games like Sonic Adventure 7 and that Speedy Gonzales SNES sprite hack.

Sw prototype?

SuperJamStar

Perhaps bonus videos on the adventure and dark age games?

SuperJamStar

Are there any Sonic rip-offs, bootlegs or other things that fall into that area that you consider to be noteworthy, amusing or weird, be they merch, comics or actual games? Not referring to fan projects, but things made by actual companies looking to cash-in on the Sonic the Hedgehog craze in the 90s?

A video on any of the sonic cartoons would probably be my first ask since there's not many good videos on the subject

AnonKaiju

You only scratched the surface of the iceberg that is Chris Chan! I'm a big fan of your Internet Historian - type videos.

Benjamin Sisko

Hey Cybershell. If you're still taking video ideas. I remember talking with you in HPZ in your discord about Barkley: Shut up and Jam Gaiden and Barkley 2. You mentioned that you met Tales Of Games and were looking forward to it. Now that Barkley 2 isn't happening I was thinking that it might be a good idea to maybe look back at Barkley 2 and talk about what went wrong? I know some of that info is out there from the devs but it might be nice to have a summary of the Barkley 2 debacle in video form?

Dan

Can you do a video going over the Sonic CD prototypes that released last year?

Ian Faddis

if you're doing other games, id love to see a crash bandicoot video

Lord Scout

Do a Sonic 4 Bonus Video, but it's a complete shitpost and released on April Fools' Day

Cubik

Just had another fantastic idea. You know those speedrun progression videos that get millions of views? Do one of those on Sonic 06. Frankly I cant believe it hasnt already been done. That game must be broken to pieces by now

Novel

I’ve honestly never seen a good attempt at someone talking about Sonic 3D Blast

Josh Rock

1. Full reviews of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. Immensely curious to hear your in-depth opinions on them. 2. Something I've always wanted to see from you, a video about Sonic Robo Blast 2 with all the usual Cybershell shit, obscure lore, a somewhat comprehensive history of the game's development, lost versions, unused content, all that jazz. And of course reviewing the game itself. 3. Out of left-field but maybe something about Homestar Runner? 4. Someone mentioned this already, but more things like Cooking With Cybershell and Dog Time would be welcome. (Cat Time?) 5. Honestly, cartoons in general. I'd like to see you talk about animation.

S. Matt Maiola

I'd like to see you tackle a video on Chibi Robo, or Godhand. It could be a review of either of those games or a deep dive video like you did with those obscure sonic games or even Space station silicon valley.

Raicon

Make a video analyzing and discussing Sonic X and all the fun obscure facts about it. Like the Nazo image, the swearing in the Japanese Dub, etc. you could frame it like a “sonic x bonus video” or you could just discuss the show in general and talk about it

Kiezly

Sonics browser games. Sonic chronicles had a promotional browser game that if you collect all the rings you unlock a few profile pictures of the characters in a zip file.

Kiezly

I’d love to know some more about Sega of Japan’s weirder unlocalized (?) games, like Mushiking, a combination arcade/card game based on beetles which apparently was absolutely huge.

k.lumsy

I don't have specific ideas (sorry) but I would love someday to see a video on any of these topics: The Sopranos Metal Gear Solid 2 Jet Set Radio Sonic Colors

Alex Yard

One of your tweets just gave me an idea - a deep dive of archive.org's collection of Sega/Sonic websites throughout the years. It's a little overwhelming looking at how massive the sitemap is for sega.com, though. https://web.archive.org/web/sitemap/http://sega.com/ Sonic's official site is a little more manageable as they didn't do much with it until 2011. https://web.archive.org/web/sitemap/www.sonicthehedgehog.com

rtil

Sonic Spinball bonus video but unironically because Spinball is actually fun. Also a video on Robo Blast 2 and kart would be really fun.

Sunnyfruit

I did a post then deleted it because I had an even better idea. Ever since I saw Sonic Crackers, I've been obsessed with the question, where the hell did it come from? We know where the SW prototype was from, but how the hell did Sonic Crackers get leaked? Who leaked it? Was it stolen? If so, HOW?! Id love a video on this mystery. Because its normal for betas to be stolen, leaked or even purchased on ebay nowadays. But Sonic Crackers was during the 90s. How that happened has to be an interesting rabbithole

Novel

Sonic Shogakukan Manga is so fucking obscure it just screams it needs its own video. Lots of scans were popping up lately on Twitter and SonicRetro. This weird Japan-only canon really needs some research!

bluguy

I need a video where you talk about ulillillia and just read the archive of his website for like an hour.

Neoviper

A video on Barkley 2 so more people know just what we all lost.

Horsengineer

I really enjoy when you shine a light on fan projects. Are there any other video game franchises with an active rom hacking/fan game scene worth doing a deep dive into that you're aware of?

Becca

I'd love to see a video about Sonic Heroes, I feel like that game is overlooked compared to the others of the era. Sonic Forces too if there's anything interesting to say about it, I was actually looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it before your last break. You already did the most obscure video but I bet a video using some kind of humourous pseudo-scientific method to try to find the Worst Sonic Game Ever could do really well. Other than that, I'd love some more live action skits (Cooking With Cybershell Season 2?) or just long going over and reacting to whatever videos like the Sonic Bible and comics ones which are some of my favourites. I also liked the more personal videos recently about SSV and DK64 like JerKro said above, definitely wouldn't mind hearing more about any weird obscure games you grew up with!

solus★

I would love another video like the Top 10 Sonics video.

Jeff Emerson

I could request Sonic content all day, but I'm interested to explore what other ideas you might have. Mario is always an easy go-to, but are you planning on covering any other Nintendo games?

Riotai

The art of Sonic sound effects

Rufus Isaakov

For specific Sonic games, I’d be down with something based on SA2. I think your Chao and SADX vids were REALLY good. For anything Sonic related, I’d definitely like a continuation on anything about the comics. The Archie one was a great retrospective and I liked the start of the Fleetway conversation. Outside of Sonic, something on the Sopranos would be cool, but if you want to stay with gaming I think the personal experience vids like with Banjo and DK64 are a really cool way to talk about games in a different way.

J

-Sonic Spinball Video -A video where you attempt to construct your own interpretation of a Sonic timeline -You could make a Sonic 4 Bonus Video as a shitpost. Even if it's just Sonic jumping on a capsule with the end of level text reading "fuck you" that'd be amazing -Make more videos about obscure games you played growing up. You ever play Mischief Makers? That game is dope. -Video about Mania Plus content

Zaneme

Sega Saturn Japanese advertising campaign !

Piccalo Payne

Yes hi Cybershill, I would love to see more video on the Dreamcast game being SA2 and Shuffle and.or the 2D Handheld Games like the Game Gear games/Master System Games, Advanced Trilogy and Rush Trilogy. And now for that aren't Sonic, I loved your vids on Banjo, FF7 and Space Station Silicon Valley, I would love to see more videos on game you played wether it be obscure or not going into the secrets or reasons why you should play said game.

CyantoNishkino

I know you did a video on Archie Sonic back when it was ending, but I would love to see you tackle Archie Sonic again... in full. Everybody these days knows about Ken Penders and his wild echidna soap opera sci-fi shit, but Archie Sonic was so chaotic in every possible way, and despite being the face of its biggest problems, there was a lot more to it than just Penders. It's fascinating. As well, I think you might be one of the most qualified people out there to explain just how huge and incredible of an undertaking Ian Flynn's tidying up job was when he joined at issue 160. That's a stupid huge undertaking though, especially since "issue 160" is a bit misleading, there's actually like 200+ issues prior to Ian making the book not terrible, including the spin-offs and all. So, I'd also like to suggest Sonic Robo Blast 2. Its development history is long and the game's been through so much over the years, but as somebody who started following it very recently it's a lot to wrap my head around. I'd like to see you take a crack at discussing it.

anything similar to that dk64 golden banana video, it was so cool. also the friendship with sonic has ended video was really good humor-wise. happy to see you branch out into other video games, especially with the kind of cool detective work and retro trivia that the dk64 video involved

Datura

Oh boy Ive got a mini list of ideas: Sonic Forces review, Sonic Movie video, More obscure Sonic trivia stuff, obscure games like Silicon Valley, the Sonic books like you said on the CyberShill video, an SRB2 video, other Sonic fangames, Sonic Mania mods like you said you'd love to show off ( Id love to see a video on the Totinos mod thatd be hilarious), and I dunno about you but Id be interested in possibly seeing a podcast or something from you. Really liked the Bonus Video and all your new videos. Cant wait to see whats next.

NytroArtwork

Video game sound effects hall of fame 2 surely

David Turton

Maybe some genre hopping videos like one about your favorite RPG's, shooters, simulators, etc. Not necessarily listed in any particular order, just ones that stood out to you.

rtil

History of Sonic fan art criiiiiiinge!

Bester

This is really dumb but I would love for you to analyze sonic through the eyes of Shopenhauer, you would be the first to do it! In a more serious note maybe do one of those iceberg videos to test your sonic knowledge.

Larrinho

A video going over the chad Sonic movie, the OVA, would be cool.

MrShadow675

I want a 2 hour video detailing the genius of the writing and acting that brings Paulie Walnuts Gualtieri to life in the Sopranos and why he is the greatest supporting character of all time. or just talk about that one scene where that dude is in the tree cutting shit off and Paulie breaks his legs I think about that every day. serious answer though, I'd like to see you just make videos on some more random games you grew up with, we are close to the same age so it's the same bullshit I was playing in the late 90s and early 00s. as far as sonic related shit I'd just like to see you peroidically do reviews or breakdowns of the mainline or spinoffs you have never covered when you can and maybe some overviews of some of the other media shit besides the comics you already have.

brandonn hembree

CIA assassination of Yinka Dare

Kieran Lee

oh and a SRB2 video would be amazing!

HazelDust

You gotta talk about the Sonic movie at some point, it'll catch up with you someday

Jay Ridge

Maybe scrutinize Sonic's appearances in Smash Bros for anomalies or inaccuracies, or just another forgotten game like Space Station Silicon Valley. Love your videos!

gnar

Sonic movie

Dalton Rojek

Sonc movie

MAN, I know its probably not what you'd wanna do but I'd love to see another playthrough of some sonic game. Maybe a Sonic Mania playthrough in the style of your first videos. Or maybe some new Sonic Forces playthrough in some new style.

PeakWheat

I love you

Nicholas Nava

Yes, this. I loved the obscure non-Sonic content.

Spencer Schneidenbach

Honestly, "Cybershell talks about an obscure game or obscure features in a game" is great, I'd love to see more of that sort of content. I never knew I wanted to watch a video of you talking about some N64 game about robot animals that I'd never heard of until I got it, or a video about weird Mugen cheapies, but then when I got those vids I loved them! Really I just like more surprises. Meme answer: Cooking with Cybershell

Codfish Cartographer

The history of attempts to make a sonic movie, including the ken penders pitch and that weird ass wonders of the world movie that advertised sonic xtreme. Or maybe just a video cataloging sonic xtreme shit in general

Jesse's Game Room

I really enjoyed your stuff about the comics both the bits about the domestic runs or the entire video about the Fleetway stuff. I was never able to collect them so I think that's fascinating. Doing something on that or the cartoons would be interesting to me. Really though, you do you man. Doesn't even need to be Sonic, ramble about N64 accessories I don't give a shit. It'll be good regardless.

GigaBoots

Review of the Sonic Movie and share what your thoughts were during the time when posters and the first trailer came out.

Hydroshot

another video on Sonic The Comic with details on its stories and the non Sonic strips like Decap Attack would be cool

HazelDust

Maybe a look into Taxman and Stealth's Pre-Sonic Mania work?

Tocupine

Why Halo 2 is the only good video game

Matthew Dance

Kind of random, but a video on bomber man hero or one of the other n64 bomber man games .

Dree

I mean, how long can you avoid talking about the Sonic movie? The people need an expert opinion

Duckroll

I think a few things that I hope Cyber takes into consideration when talking about video ideas is I’d honestly love to see him talking about all the “mainline” series’, by that I mean the TV shows and maybe the OVA incorporated in there and further detail about them. I’d love to see what he thinks of them and talk which are bad and good in terms of storyline and characters. I think it would make a great video because I mean you’ve covered the comics which was pretty neat, what if you extend that outside media and have a video on the TV series’? I’d think it be pretty cool too if Cyber talked about a bit about the film that released earlier this year. I know he spoke about it in a podcast that its name I cannot recall but there is so much stuff BTS wise that would nice if he covered. Just a few ideas, I look forward to what you do next..

Multixloves

I would be interested in seeing a video about rumors about Sonic: what interesting but false claims have been made about Sonic on the playground or on message boards, e.g. Sonic and Tails being playable in Super Smash Bros. Melee? Bonus points if you can track down the sources for these rumors.

Anonymous

So far of all of the new content you've made Sonic related and Non-Sonic, I think its some of the best videos you've ever put out. I actually kind of enjoyed the Banjo video and the Space Station video just because of the obscurity. I'd love to see more obscure/stupid easter egg shit. Plus its much better when you read all the stuff I could read off websites or play games I could just play myself.

Seth Beattie

What about a video that plays Devil's Advocate and talks about the positive aspects of Sonic 06? I know it's a really bad game, but I DO think some redeeming qualities exist in it that are worth exploring.

MarkyJoe1990

Hmm maybe a bonus video for SA1/2 or any of the 3D games

Vince Oliver

A review of the sonic movie

Justin

Do a metal gear bonus video for every single game in the franchise. Including pachinko. Cmon champ you can do it

Eddy M

An overview of Sonic Advance and a video going over the boost formula and ypur opinion on it, and if you made a video about Mario Galaxy Id be so happy.
