Eddie Gonzalez On Creating Netflix's 'On My Block' as an Antidote to Depressing Hood Stories

By Catrina Dennis | 1 year ago
This past month, Netflix dropped yet another bold entry into it's ever-growing library of entertainment titled On My Block, a coming of age story that honestly and empathetically explores life in South Central Los Angeles through the eyes of four teenagers. For the Nick at Nite generation of viewers who grew up watching Wonder Years at bedtime, the show brings back that feeling of discovery while framing in a point of view that isn't very often given a lens in the first place.
The series revolves around a group of friends (the fam) led by the bold yet anxious Monse Finnie (Sierra Capri), a teenage girl whose personal growing pains involve learning about her estranged mother, her personal identity, and holding the group together no matter what happens. Cesar Diaz (Diego Tinoco) may look like the group's pop-jock Archie at first glance, but his story dives deeply into how gang violence and the politics that come with it can tear a family apart from the inside. Brett Gray (Jamal Turner) brings whimsy and wit to a world that any outsider might not expect to find it in, embarking on a Goonies-style adventure to avoid letting his father down when he realizes that he won't be continuing the family tradition of playing football. Rounding the group out is Ruby Martinez (Jason Genao), a pint-sized, fast-talking teen full of heart that has to deal with the challenges of puberty while his family essentially (but lovingly) screws up every step along the way.
Created by Eddie Gonzalez (All Eyez On Me), Jeremy Haft (Tamara), and Lauren Iungerich (Awkward), the first season ties up with something of a cliffhanger, just when the viewer expects a happy ending. In the wake of the series' release and critical success, Remezcla spoke with Gonzalez about On My Block's many weaving threads of storyline, and where the series might go if (read: when) Season two is confirmed.
On My Block is currently streaming on Netflix.
On Working with a Young Cast
We were on set all of the time, the three of us were on set. Lauren directed four of the episodes and she did a great job directing these kids because, yeah, they were very raw. But that was one of the qualities that we looked for in these characters, we wanted authenticity not just in appearance or in behavior. And they were so real, and they became those characters. I was born in Compton and grew up in Lynwood, so I [talked to them] about my experiences. Some of them grew up in tough areas, so much of that was an honest portrayal.
On Tackling the Teen Dramedy Genre
We were fortunate to have Lauren as our partner, I mean, she is a YA queen, so from the jump Jeremy and I were excited to work with her on it. This is an area though in terms of the Latino world that Jeremy and I have floated in before – we've sold pilots within that world of teen drama – but the chance to do a comedy with drama in it just made sense. It's one of those things obviously inspired by my life, but also, when you look at stories like this, it's not all bleak. It's hopeful. You know, you see a lot of stories like these and it's depressing – that's not how my childhood was, so that's not the experience we wanted to portray.
On Portraying South Central Without Judgement
It comes from a place of authenticity, and people are three-dimensional. I grew up with gang members in my neighborhood, I have relatives who are gang members. And it's not this simple, one-sided story – it's complex, it's nuanced. To do justice to the world, you have to show all sides of it. That's why Cesar is so complicated, that's why Oscar is so complicated. Oscar is one of our favorite characters. He's a three-dimensional character, he's not just this intimidating person – he's complicated, and we wanted to show how he became what he became.

On the Inspiration for Abuelita Character
My grandmother is from Mexico, and she would come to visit us, and she'd kind of ruin things whenever she took over the house; ultimately, we did what she wanted. You're suddenly forced out of your room into the living room you have to pray all the time… every sentence began with 'God Willing'. So that is inspired by my Abuelita, probably many people's Abuelitas, and she became this bigger and more whole person along the way who we really love.
On Which Character He Relates to the Most
Well, when I was in high school, I was bite-sized – I was 5'2" when I graduated, and Ruby's story is similar to mine growing up. I did have a grandmother who moved in and out, and I finally had the opportunity to finally get my own room when my brother went to college, only to lose it when my other brother moved back home. So there's a lot of me in that Ruby character, and there's a little part of us in all of these characters.
On Crafting Monse, the Show's Afro-Latina Female Lead
It all comes back to authenticity, and Monse is a character that you don't see much on television. We know many people who are biracial, and it's nice to see that representation, and throughout the season she's dealing with that, but also with becoming a woman, and especially so when all of her best friends are guys. So, it was a fun and kind of unique story to explore because that isn't given as much heart or thought in a lot of other shows.
On the Finale's Devastating Cliffhanger
Well, that was done by design, when my writing partners and I sat down. early on, there were a couple of things we did before we went into the writer's room. And there were a some stories that we knew like how we wanted them to play out. The scavenger hunt – the Goonies element of it – we knew where that was going. We knew where Caesar was going to go, and we knew, again by design, where the Ruby and Olivia story was going to go as well. So those were things we had talked about before we got into the room. Once we were in the room for ten weeks with our other writers we started laying out the map and the path to getting to that point.
On the Themes He'd Like to Explore in Season 2
First of all, let's pray for the second season – but there are a lot of themes we'd like to explore. Sadly, shootings like the one in the finale take place all over the country, so one of the themes we'd like to explore is survivor's remorse and guilt. And with the Goonies storyline, it's about okay, you've now found money, now what? So we have a lot of ideas for the second season, including some more work on Oscar, so we're hoping to continue telling these stories.
Hey OMB Fans. I'm 1 of the co-creators. This isn't just our show, but YOUR show. We are small budget with POC. For 2 long we've been ignored. We NEED more viewers! Please watch, tweet, IG… there's no season 2 without you. @onmyblocktv #onmyblock @iambrettgray @EmilioRivera48

On How the On My Block Kids Would Survive the Stranger Things Storyline
[laughs] That's probably the best question I've gotten yet. We love Stranger Things, we're all fans of Stranger Things. I can tell you that there'd be some ass-whooping. Come on guys. I think the kids are pretty strong, so they wouldn't wait around for the Demogorgon to find them – they'd figure out a way to handle it and finish that thing.

Jordan shut out refugees — and then saw a backlash (The Washington Post) Over the past month, fighting in southern Syria has displaced more than 300,000 people — the most at any one time in Syria's nearly seven-year civil war. More than 60,000 of these Syrians fled south, hoping to find safety in Jordan. But Jordan's government closed the border and refused to let them in, claiming the country has already done enough to help Syrian refugees. Many Jordanians reacted angrily to the government's position — #OpenTheBorders became a top trending Twitter hashtag in the country as people called the decision shameful and vowed to share their bread with the refugees…

'Donor fatigue' among threats to Iraqi Christian refugees in Jordan (America Magazine) Although the war against the Islamic State is drawing to a close, thousands of Christian families from Iraq remain displaced in neighboring Jordan, where the Christian community is struggling through "embassy and donor fatigue" to provide basic pastoral and material services to Iraqi refugees. The Catholic Near East Welfare Association, a papal agency, provides food aid and sponsors educational programs for these refugees in Amman, the capital of Jordan. In a country already coping with millions of Syrian and Palestinian refugees, however, many Iraqi Christians wish to permanently resettle elsewhere…

Carrying On Lyrics
"Carrying On"
There's those who turn their nose up
When we play our music loud
Those folks would love to take control
And turn our volume down
But we come from the country
And we live by the code
That if it feels good; we're gonna do it
There ain't no middle of the road
And no one's gonna tell me
How to live my life
'Cause it's my life
And it ain't nobody's business
What kind of flag I fly
'Cause that's my right
We just love what we're doing
You can hear it in our songs
We ain't gonna break
Ain't gonna bend
We're just carrying on
It's a sign of the times, everybody trying
To be politically correct
But worrying 'bout what other people think
Will make you a nervous wreck
Well we're just here to tear the house down
With the many or the few
There ain't no law against having a ball
And that's just what we'll do

Putin rebuilds the Russian Empire
It has been one year since Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula, the naval fortress and resort ground of Russian Tzars and Soviet dictators.
What started as a bloodless partition of Ukraine has turned into a hybrid war that threatens to drag Russia and NATO countries into the third world war.
A decade ago, in April 2005, while addressing the Federal Assembly in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin lamented the collapse of the Soviet Union as "a major geopolitical disaster of the century".
He claimed that for the Russian nation, it had become a genuine drama because tens of millions of ethnic Russians found themselves outside Russian territory.
Putin expressed hope that the new members of NATO and the European Union in the post-Soviet area would respect the rights of ethnic minorities.
Three years later, in August 2008, Russia started a war against Georgia, one of the former Soviet republics in the Caucasus and the fraternal Orthodox Christian state, to "protect" two breakaway provinces from the pro-Western and reform-minded government of Mikheil Saakashvili.
The republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia remain largely unrecognised.
However, they are bank-rolled by Moscow to stay independent and play the role of buffer states in the growing confrontation with the NATO-oriented neighbourhood.
Russian passports and cash were generously distributed among those who pledged loyalty to the tricolour, a symbol of resurrecting Russian imperialism.
When the wave of colour revolutions reached the Ukraine in 2013 and 2014, its pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych ordered bloodshed in the capital Kyiv and then fled to Russia.
His requests for help were heard in the Kremlin but interpreted in such a way that left even the fugitive ex-president of Ukraine speechless.
Russia rapidly annexed Crimea by flooding it with hordes of Special Forces without insignia and running a dirty referendum.
By doing so, Putin repeated the Stalin's invasion of the Baltic States in 1939-1940 that, following the Molotov-Ribbentrop Neutrality Pact, triggered the Second World War.
Swift and bloodless reunification of Crimea with Mother Russia incited irredentism in larger parts of eastern Ukraine known as Donbass.
The conflict is far from finished
By fuelling this conflict with manpower, heavy weapons, and economic support, Putin achieves one victory after another on the domestic front.
The self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk Peoples' Republics have turned their weapons against the new and democratically elected Ukrainian government.
Their military might and economic survival is attributed to Russia's continuing assistance, which Moscow continues to vehemently deny.
Even the shooting of Malaysian Airlines MH17 plane, for which the pro-Russian rebels are commonly blamed, and the death of nearly 6,000 civilians, did not compel Putin to distance from the insurgents.
Despite the recent Minsk ceasefire agreement, the conflict in eastern Ukraine is far from being finished.
Russia continues to see this war as the necessary means to expand the 'Russian world' and to deter the advancement of 'western fascism'. Even international sanctions imposed on Russia for its role in this conflict fail to achieve much.
The horrors of war in Ukraine are amplified by the Russian media and serve as a smokescreen that helps to muffle any discussions on economy, politics or human rights.
Dwindling profits from the sales of oil and gas have led to serious depreciation of Russian currency, growing inflation, increasing budget deficit and evaporating national gold reserve.
The voices of opposition are growing louder
The Russian president mobilised the military for high-profile exercises on an unprecedented scale.
Endemic corruption and international sanctions have scared potential foreign investors and blocked access to international money markets.
As the voices of opposition to Putin's authoritarian rule began to be heard louder than their leader, physicist and liberal politician Boris Nemtsov was assassinated near the walls of Kremlin the day before a major anti-government rally.
In the meantime, domestic support to Putin's imperial initiatives in restoring the Russian empire continues to grow.
The Soviet-era military-industrial complex is being resuscitated with multi-billion dollar state investments.
New jobs are created in the non-productive state sector, the police force and the army.
Upon his return from a mysterious vacation, the Russian president mobilised the military for the high-profile exercises, on an unprecedented scale.
Will this be a mere demonstration of Russia's military might on the eve of the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, or will this nuclear muscle-flexing have some practical purpose in returning more of the lost territories?
This remains to be seen.

In order for children to learn well, they need to see well. Parents may not realize there is more to good vision than 20/20 and that there are conditions that vision screenings can miss. Two optometrists conducted a visual experiment where common visual problems known to affect learning in kids are simulated in 4 adult teachers, and their experience and reaction are discussed.
School vision screenings are not enough and often give parents a false sense of security about the health of your child's vision and eye health. A comprehensive eye exam provides the full assurance of vision and eye health that a simple eye chart test or a school vision screening cannot.
Eye diseases, many that can cause blindness, eye movement problems such as convergence insufficiency and binocular vision disorders, eye muscle control disorders and visual information processing deficits all go undetected in a rudimentary vision screening. Many of these disorders can impact a child's school performance, their personality and their self esteem. Undiagnosed diseases can cause permanent vision loss.


Tuesday's announcement represents a major reversal for President Emmanuel Macron' government, which initially stood its ground. Critics are accusing the president of being out of touch with the plight of normal French citizens.
This might quell some protesters, but many other groups have now joined in to protests, including communists fighting for an increase in government funding.
Marie LePen stands ready to replace a Macron regime. I hope she wins this time!
Little do the French people realize the entire Climate Change debacle is NOTHING more than a wealth-transfer program on a global scale. The richer carbon-producing countries (due to manufacturing) will be forced to buy additional carbon credits from 3rd world countries which produce little (if anything) and therefore, have extra credits to "sell".
Sound familiar? It's nothing more than a global welfare program; the producers give to the non-producers based on laws/ regulations created by the elites – in this case, the One World Government.
President Macron of France has his hands full resulting from that government's negativity to fossil-based fuels. He also has the French Conservative Party, led by Marie LePen stands ready to replace a Macron regime if it falls. LePen has run against Macron before, only to lose her bid, but the latest push of Macron to raise taxes with fossil fuels as his tax target, brought citizen protests which turned violent.
Macron's plan was at least placed on "hold" for the present, but it leaves Macron's government shaky in view of the Conservative faction of LePen nipping at Macron's heels and the French Communists perpetually there with their hope that Communism can uproot any existing governments. The Communists obviously require political division in France in order to capitalize upon the divided country.

Mysterious 2, 000-year-old podium found near Temple Mount in City of David
Israeli archaeologists uncover city gate in Goliath's hometown Watch: Mysterious ancient message found on ritual bath from Second Temple period
Jerusalem archaeologists have announced an intriguing find of a pyramid-shaped staircase constructed of large ashlar stones that could have been used as a soapbox or monumental platform during the Second Temple period.
This structure was found at the side of a 2, 000-year-old Second Temple stepped street, which carried pilgrims on their way from the Shiloah (Siloam) Pool to the Temple.
"The structure exposed is unique. To date such a structure has yet to be found along the stepped street in the numerous excavations that have taken place in Jerusalem and to the best of our knowledge outside of it. For this reason, its exact use remains enigmatic, " archaeologists Nahshon Szanton and Dr. Joe Uziel, who direct the excavation on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority, said in a statement.
"The structure is built along the street in a place that is clearly visible from afar by passers-by making their way to the Temple. We believe the structure was a kind of monumental podium that attracted the public's attention when walking on the city's main street. It would be very interesting to know what was said there 2, 000 years ago. Were messages announced here on behalf of the government? Perhaps news or gossip, or admonitions and street preaching – unfortunately we do not know."
The Israel Antiquities Authority is currently excavating – in cooperation with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and the City of David Foundation — at a site in the Jerusalem Walls National Park in the City of David.
Szanton and Uziel said two British archaeologists, Frederick Jones Bliss and Archibald Campbell Dickie, discovered a small portion of this structure about 100 years ago, but "mistakenly thought these were steps that led into a house that was destroyed. They would certainly be excited if they could come back today and see it completely revealed."
The Israeli archaeologists said that rabbinic sources refer to "stones" that were used for public purposes during the Second Temple period, citing an auction block as one possible use and a lost-and-found landmark as another.
Dozens of whole pottery vessels, stone vessels and glassware were found at the foot of the pyramid-shaped staircase.

Will I for a gallop along the track? Nah, I'll hang here it's more peaceful…
Maserati 250F going past but can't figure whose, the number on the tail appears to have a 3-prefix but no such car was entered. Any ideas? Moss won the race from Mike Hawthorn and Phil Hill- Vanwall VW57 from Ferrari Dino 246 times two.
I wrote an article about this 1958 Moroccan GP meeting a while back, click here to read it;

Tags: 1958 Moroccan Grand Prix, 1959 BARC 200 Aintree, 1959 Monaco Grand Prix, 1959 Portuguese Grand Prix, Cooper T51 Climax, Ferrari Dino 246 F1, Jack Brabham, Phil Hill, Tony Brooks
(Heritage Images)
I'm constantly in awe of the talents of the photographers whose work is displayed in this 'masterpiece' of mine…
Take a careful look at the composition and execution of this shot of Phil Hill's Dino at Monaco in 1959-the use of light, the way the shadows of the palm tree and building architecture frame the shot of the snub-Monaco nosed Ferrari 246 and the expression on the American drivers face. The shadow of the photographer gives a sense of involvement.
(Klemantaski)
Things were pretty tough for the front engined brigade by 1959 of course.
Jack's first Cooper title was bagged that year. In the process of trying to keep up, Enzo's brigade created quite the most beautiful cars in these later Dino's. The snub nosed car not so much but checkout Tony Brooks slinky, curvaceous chassis above during the BARC 200 at Aintree on 19 April '59. Jean Behra took the win that day in a sister car, the Scuderia may have been lulled into a sense of false security by this non-championship event result.
The 1959 Dinos had more voluptuous bodywork by Medardo Fantuzzi, clothing big-tube frames with coil-sprung de Dion rear ends rather than the transverse-leaf setup used earlier. Dunlop disc brakes and tyres were used with Armstong telescopic shocks replacing the 'unreliable' lever-arm Houdailles- Doug Nye wrote that some Ferrari team members blamed the Houdailles as the cause of Peter Collins fatal 1958 German GP accident.
Brabham on the way to his first GP win at Monaco in 1959, Cooper T51 Climax (Cahier)
It was very much a Cooper T51 Climax year.
They won three of the five non-championship events (Moss took 2, Brabham 1) with Ferrari and BRM taking one apiece (Behra and Flockhart). Ignoring the Indy 500 which was part of the world championship back then, there were eight GP events. Cooper won five (Brabham-Monaco, British and Moss-Portugal and Italy two races each for the Aussie and the Brit and McLaren-US 1 win). Ferrari won two (Brooks-French, German) and BRM won one, the break-through first win for the Bourne marque and Jo Bonnier aboard a P25 at Zandvoort.
Its front is a little 'fugly', the looks only a mother could love
'Snub nosed' Dino, Hill rounding the Gasworks Hairpin, Quay in the background. Oooh, la, la from the rear tho. All things Italian look great from the back!? Hill hustling his Dino, thru the Mirabeau right hander below.
(LAT)
Have a look at Phil's car below in August on the hugely picturesque and dangerous Monsanto road course during the Portuguese GP.
DNF when Lotus 16 mounted Hill G spun in his path taking out both cars. Moss won in a T51 Cooper Climax from Masten Gregory similarly mounted, Gurney the best placed Ferrari in 3rd.
I guess by definition these Dino's are the ultimate expression of the front engined GP car given Enzo persevered at least a year longer than he should have.
Heritage Images, Klemantaski Collection, LAT, Cahier Archive, Ferrari Dino article by Doug Nye in Motorsport November 2007
Etcetera- Technical Specifications…
Two rare photographs of Dinos in the semi-nude.
The first, above, is a 156 F2 in the Nürburgring pits in August 1957, both are by Bernard Cahier. The second is of the Taffy Von Trips (DNF) car during the 1960 Belgian Grand Prix weekend at Spa.
Vittorio Jano's new 65 degree 1.5 litre V6 gave about 180 bhp @ 9000 rpm on the Maranello test-bed, it burst into life about five months after Dino Ferrari's untimely death due to renal failure on 30 June 1956.
The cars chassis was a scaled down variant of the Lancia Ferrari 801, its tubular frame comprised of two large diameter bottom tubes braced by a welded on superstructure of thinner tubes- not a true spaceframe in a definitional sense.
The engine was angled across the frame, as you can see, this allowed the prop-shaft to run past the drivers seat to the left. The front suspension, clearly shown, is by wishbones and coil springs with the rear suspension by de Dion tube and transverse leaf spring. Drum brakes and Houdaille lever arm shocks were fitted with Scaglietti providing the sexy aluminium body.
The 1957 German GP was a famous victory for Fangio's Maserati 250F from the Hawthorn, Collins and Musso Lancia Ferrari 801's. The Dino, if the photo is captioned correctly, was perhaps in the transporter. Whilst entered in the F2 section, the race results show Maurice Trintignant as a 'no-show', Denis Jenkinson's race report also says the car did not arrive so perhaps the date on the caption is wrong and the shot is of a 1958 246.
The first F2 Ferrari Dino, chassis #'0011′ made its race debut at the Naples GP on 28 April 1957. Enlarged engines of 1983 cc, 2195 cc were built over the ensuing months and- then the 2417 cc variant was raced by Peter Collins during the non-championship 27 October Moroccan GP- the Dino 246 was born!
Stricken by flu, Peter spun off, the 85mm bore, 71mm stroke, 2417 cc engine at that stage gave 270 bhp @ 8300 rpm burning 130 octane AvGas, the 1958 mandated fuel.
The 1960 Dino 246/60 (above) were lightened with engines angled across the frame the opposite way to 1959, with the transaxle turned around to match- providing the drivers with the challenge of a reversed gearchange gate.
They also featured pannier fuel tanks without separate covering body panelling (look closely above) smaller fuel tanks and all-independent coil-spring and wishbone suspension.
At Spa Phil Hill used the Ferrari four-cam power advantage but was still overwhelmed by a Cooper Climax 1-3 finish. Jack Brabham led home Bruce McLaren in T53's whilst Olivier Gendebien was third in an earlier T51.
Tailpiece: And what a tail. I'm cheating really, this is the butt of Phil's '58 Dino, this pictorial article is mainly about the 1959 cars…
'58 Moroccan GP; Moss won in a Vanwall VW57 from Mike Hawthorn and Phil, both Dino mounted, Mike won the '58 World Title at this race (LAT)
The photo is another masterpiece of composition and high-speed shutter work during the Moroccan GP at Ain-Diab, Casablanca Morocco on 19 October 1958.
Check out the different tail treatment from the later cars earlier in the article and 'three piece' fabrication of the Ferrari's rear tail section comprising from driver back- the fuel tank, then oil tank and finally small curvaceous endplate, Italian panel bashing at its best.

Karnataka CM refutes Thackeray's charges, says no link between border dispute and polls
The case is with the Supreme Court. "Our case is in accordance with the constitution and in accordance with the law. We have confidence that we will win the court battle," he said.

Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai.
Bengaluru: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday denied any connection between the Karnataka-Maharashtra dispute and the upcoming Assembly elections.
On former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's allegation that the dispute was being created by Karnataka with the Assembly polls in mind, CM Bommai said, "The dispute between the states has existed for many years. The problem has been created by Maharashtra, not by us."
Since there is dispute from their side, there is reaction from both sides. People are living harmoniously and no attempt should be made to disturb it, he stated.
The case is with the Supreme Court. "Our case is in accordance with the constitution and in accordance with the law. We have confidence that we will win the court battle," he said.
CM Bommai reiterated that there is no perspective of elections in the issue and there is a question of stoking a controversy. "We are committed to protecting our borders. We are also committed to protecting the rights of Kannada people residing in Maharashtra, Telangana, Kerala and other states," he said.

Hmmm, intriguing.
The general shape reminds me of the Dark Gaia monsters, but yes I recognise the female figure there. Gotta have a token girl, haven't we?!
Still not sure what to think. I do still would like to see the current cast fleshed out a bit, but having Sonics friends as guardians would be a bit weird.... if this is an alien planet...
oops that second image is far larger than I thought it was, shrunk it a bit now, sorry about that x.o
And the 30th info date is the 29th for us, wonder what else is on that day
Post by Juliett. Bravo. Alfa. on May 23, 2013 17:59:07 GMT
To be fair on generic sexyhips there is a giant tumour head as well. Going for the Silent Hill crowd maybe?
Also - they are all Pikachu... in a sombrero.

Hmm, the girl figure kinda reminds me of Scanty and Kneesocks.... as in the horn in the middle of the head and green hair.
Also I'm wondering if these will be DBZ-style bad guys. They're your enemies, until you beat the living crap out of them, then they become your buddies and fight with you...

I said the exact same thing!!
There are people moaning that Sonic doesn't need more characters, apparently. Honestly, if these new characters present a new way to play the game, I don't see why they shouldn't just include more. Mario does it to great effect. Plus, none of these look "original character do not steal".
It seems like they're taking inspiration from Colours, actually! Alien planet, strange new creatures...

They kinda make me think of Skylanders. That could just be previous rumors clouding my judgement though.

Second from the left (next to sexyhips) has a sort of "vector if he was a chinese dragon" sort of shape - having a character with flame breath could be interesting...
What is going on with the character next to him? Is he standing on somthing? Some sort of yoda balancing act?
i wonder what will sonic and tails do when they see the new characters in the game

Who wants a trailer?
Post by Badly-Drawn Manchild on May 28, 2013 17:54:52 GMT
Looks very much like a cross between Super Mario Galaxy and Sonic Xtreme to me. Interesting seeing them mix up the gameplay mechanics for this outing, so I'll definitely give it a whirl.
Even if the bad guys look like a 90s corporate logo.
Jesus. The last thing I thought they'd ever do is summon the ghost of X-Treme.
It doesn't look bad. Seems to essentially be the same Hedgehog Engineness from Unleashed, Colours and Generations, but the 3D stuff also throws the bendy tube jazz of X-Treme into the mix (for some reason).
It's not the best looking thing in the world because of the weird X-Treme level design, but it looks like there's a lot of new approaches to basic Sonic gameplay as part of that, so it at least may well earn its place.
The new enemies look hella generic and dull, though. I'm hoping they're actually Sonic's friends turned into weird demon thingies, as it's basically the only thing that'd make them vaguely interesting. Was hoping for a bit more classic Robotnik villainy, though.
Looks a bit like a stage-ified version of the special stages. It's a take I certainly wasn't expecting, but nevertheless seems a positive development. The new enemies certainly look cartoony, albeit a little unfitting within the context of the franchise.
Also, is it about sticky-time for the thread yet?

I actually like the Sonic X-treme feel to it in some footage. I also dig seeing the cartoon animals, ah good old Classic animals that Sonic use to free from the end of boss capsule.
Oh god, someone has done this cover to sum up the trailer lol.

Honestly, while we haven't seen much of this yet, it's already living up to my biggest fear I had when Sega announced this Nintendo Partnership, namely; "I hope they don't start incorporating simplistic environment designs into the Sonic games". One of the -biggest- draws for me to Sonic has always been the interesting stage tropes and detailed environments, it's been something I consider the series to excel in. Shortly after jumping into bed with Nintendo, we get this cubic, spheroidal, blocky playground revealed to us. It's exactly what I was afraid of. Obviously this doesn't matter in the long run as long as the gameplay is good, which it looks to be, and graphically it does look pretty, in a certain way.
But I don't want this to be the new direction for Sonic. The screens on IGN show hills in the background that are nothing short of cylinders. Next thing the clouds and mountains will have smiley faces on them. I loved the lush environments of Generations, and It's made me expect more of it in the future. Also, Green Hill again? Seriously. Combining the simplistic style with the contrast between this and the Green Hill given to us in Generations it further lowers my happiness about the game's style.
Other stuff? Sonic the only playable character again. Ugh. Compared to the days of Adventure when my money actually gave me several characters to play with I'm getting really sick of this crap. I don't think they should even be allowed to use their other characters in story scenes if they can't be assed to actually stick them in the game. If they take time to develop gameplay mechanics such as wisp powers and the like, what is so difficult about using those mechanics on a different character model instead? It's laziness. The yellow drill wisp would work perfectly fine as Knuckles, as would the green hover wisp for Tails
Now.. I've ranted a fair bit. I guess this just isn't what I expected or wanted after the likes of Generations. And fair enough we know little about the game at this point. I'll be fine if this is a one-off, but I seriously hope this isn't the new norm for the series. Although I'm certain it won't be, because when they find something that works, they go and change it anyway. >_>

Liking the looks of this. The simple environment design really looks deliberate. It's not my favourite; as Hevs says, after Generations this is lacking somewhat, but it's not unappealing either.
I think they're over-complicating things from a design perspective with the different levels of boost, but we'll see how it goes. Either way, it still looks like excellent fun.

I saw this late last night. It looks nice, full if nostalgic references. Some of the gameplay looks like Emerald Hill Zone's mobius strips in 3D.
The six look.... interesting..... although I'm wondering where Eggman is!
I'll reserve judgment for now, I can't really get a Wii just now and I'm still playing catchup with the Sonic series.

I'm pretty hyped by this, if only because it's a new direction, without breaking into too uncharted territory.
I so far like the aesthetics of it, channelling the mix between classic Sonic and Mario Galaxy (which is a pretty game, and some great designs, you can't deny it ), with the out-of-nowhere Sonic X-Treme throwback.
I look forward to it.

Pete is ALWAYS the word of the day around these 'ere parts.
Probably why it's called Lost World actually, since it seems to be pulling the old 'lost' game X-Treme back into existence to an extent.
I'm curious about it at any rate *nod* We'll see how it goes :B
I don't know why, but when I saw the female Guardian, she reminds me a bit of Tekno from Sonic The Comic, a tiny bit.
Out of all the guardians so far, I like her the most.

Ha! Eggman and Sonic team up confirmed!
Edit: Also Guardians they are not.

Q: Change text (label) with jquery ui button toggle I have a jquery-ui button and I know how to change the styling between states with css, but I would like to know how to change the label text too. For example, an ON/OFF button like below -- when [checked="checked"] then the label text would = "ON" (and OFF when not checked).
<input type="checkbox" id="device_4_state" name="device_4_state" class="toggle-button on-off" checked="checked" />
ON

Any help would be tremendous. Thanks.

A: here is the solution :
$('#device_4_state').change(function(){
    if ($("#device_4_state").is(':checked'))
    {
        $("label[for='device_4_state']").text("ON");
    }
    else
    {
        $("label[for='device_4_state']").text("OFF");
    }

});

A: If you wish to use pure CSS to set the label text, you can use CSS pseudo elements to automatically generate the content of the label based on the state of the jquery-ui button. To use this approach, leave the label empty () and include CSS like this:
.on-off + label > span:before {
    content: "OFF";
}
.on-off + label.ui-state-active > span:before {
    content: "ON";
}

Good Evening Equestria, this is your 0600 hourly broadcast come'n to you live from Canterlot Keep.
In tonight's weather, Her Majesty's Weather Wing continues in its efforts to ward off the winter freeze. A reported assembly of over 50 cumulus have been gathered and flown North from the plains; bit of an early Hearth's Warming gift from the South. The second wave of this years collected warm front is reported to consist of another 40 nimbus expected to arrive some time in the next coming week, and not a moment too soon as wild storms from the Everfree continue to pile on the snow from both the North and Northeastern districts.
Welcome to the realm of Nightmare Moon, an Equestria far different from the one we know and love. It's the dead of winter and the eternal night continues to stretch on, as does the continually expanding Everfree forest. With a new ruler, comes a new ethical outlook as the citizens of Equestria have become a colder bunch. With harmony removed the wild forces of the Everfree have been unleashed on the world and the forest closes in. All that stands in its way next to a few thinly stretched border guards, are the Rangers. Conducting operations within the forest they use the newest technologies (something rather developed in Nightmare Moon's Equestria) to bring out those who are lost, or push back whatever comes through the trees. You will play as a new recruit, hastily brought in to assist with a difficult search through the frigid depths of the winter forest. Myself and Whitetoast will be your guides (as we have planned this thing out through the last week) as we move from objective to objective and eventually uncover a whole new case, one that may determine the fate of Equestria as we know it.
Appearance: Trick Shot is slightly above average in terms of height though is fairly skinny as well, He has a light grey fur color with a white mane and tail, his eyes are a deep crimson, and his cutie mark is a white target with a red bullseye.
Personality: Calm, Nonchalant in most situations, respectful, a bit stubborn, loyal, and protective of those he cares about. He can be sometimes quick to anger if those he cares for are threatened, he's also a smartass, and can be vindictive in certain situations.
Civilian Winter Gear: Thick Black Jacket with a hood and a black Beanie sometimes wears a grey scarf depending on winds.
Appearance: She has short mane and tail with a darker orange tone than her coat. Her eyes are basically white, but they can appear a bit red sometimes, remnants of her uveitis. She is above average in strength. Her cutie mark is a flaming horse shoe.
Personality: She can seem intimidating sometimes, but other times she's kind of nice. She's not a leader, don't put her in charge, she doesn't know what to do. She tries not to care much about how ponies think of her, but it can be clear sometimes that it doesn't work.
Personality: As said in Complexion; cocky and sarcastic,however loyal like most Pegasus.
-a bandanna of sorts hung loosely around his neck to warm his muzzle against strong winds.
Appearance: He's snowy white in color with a light blue mane and tail. Neither taller or smaller than the average pony, Frosty is rather normal looking. Surprisingly, his eyes are dark green.
Cutie Mark: His mark is that of a mechanic's wrench and a cog, referring to his ability to tinker with all kinds of machinery.
Personality: Carefree and upbeat, he's almost always in a good mood and up for everything that he likes, not caring about good and bad. Frosty enjoys attention, especially the one he gets by proving himself, and also has a good deal of humor, often cracking jokes or making sarcastic comments about the things that cross his mind each time. He is no halfwit though, being quite wise and serious when it's necessary.
Coat with a furry hood on, thick and warm balaclava out of wool and snow goggles with orange lenses, all white of course.
With a short vinyl jump the broadcast continued, giving way to a steady holiday tune complete with the ornamental scratchiness of transmitter technology. The distant voice of a vocalist wafted gently from the small glowing box on the counter, the aqua green glow of the device's central spectra pool rising and falling with her voice. The composition did well to continue the establishments tranquil, bordering on downcast, atmosphere. Though it did seem that at one point the diner was designed to evoke feelings of foalish joy or playfulness, it was apparent that times had changed. The once vibrant pink booths were now worn and a closer shade to rosewood. The many light sources, fixed in various positions along the walls, shone dim from age while their newer network of spectra tubing tried and failed to reflect and amplify the dismal display. These pipes ran from the worn blu-ish floors and up onto the aged cream walls, snaking along to the many over-sized bulbs along the way which were awaiting their fair share of Spectra Yellow. They shone in contrast not only to their accompanying light fixtures, but also the very structure of the building in which they were installed. The rafters, once painted the same pink as the booths below and decorated with an assortment of delicious looking imagery, were now chipped and worn. The same could be said for the many supporting beams that stood throughout the business's main space, twisted and colored to appear as over sized candy canes. It was in this environment, reflecting a time of long lost cheer, the patrons of Sugar Cube Corner resided.
The crowd was composed of the usual gaggle: blue-yolked and tired work horses, dead end souls, and two Rangers. They sat in a booth not too far from the swinging doors of the establishment, obviously automated as to keep out as much winter air as possible. The mare, of average build for one of her youthful age, sat slumped and slumbering over an unknown sleeved chart. The stallion across from her, sipped from his steaming cup. He took shifts, briefly looking to his companion before turning his attention outside the large window. He'd been keeping track the snowfall, which so far had proven to only worsen as day drew into night. A battle raged as the white blanket attempted to cover the streets of the small town, but was continually blasted back by the opposing heating system operating from nozzles within avenue gutters. He witnessed as small burst of steam would puff up along the street, alluding to the myth that the winter roads were marginally warmer. He thought of the contrast between the cold world beyond his glass shielding and the relatively cozy interior in which he found himself. Shifting, he took the time to stretch and lean back into the booth, extending his hoodie garbed formed towards the ceiling. He groggily scratched light blue snout and ran his hooves through his grey mane, only reinforcing its upward swooping posture. Within a final flutter of his turquoise eyes, he felt the after affects of the stretch subsiding and a gradual resulting surge of energy coming on. He turned back to his companion, who remained asleep, before a flicker of pink caught his eye. He turned again to face the front counter of the establishment as a pink mare, sporting an equally pink and frazzled mane approached in waitress ware.
The day was dark, and it was cold. But that wasn't really out of the ordinary. The cold was normal, Dark was normal, and for her, it wasn't really a thing, to begin with. It was kind of a surprise for her to be pulled into the Rangers until she found out it was in times of desperate needs. So that was it? The Everfree was wearing them down through Attrition so it was no wonder that she got in so easily. Well, it would surely be more exciting than her original job. HMA was fun to do, but she had to admit she was no sensei. She needed real combat, and so she accepted the role, even if the budget was low, and she would probably not make any cash off of it, what good would be cash if she wasn't expecting to survive?
She trotted through the cold, albeit it was kind of confusing as the weather tried to fight against the systems in place to keep the town from completely frosting over. If one was outside at this time, then they were probably crazy or they were traveling. If there was anypony watching her, then they'd probably be wondering how she was getting around with her eyes so blocked like that, maybe if they were closer they would be able to hear the sounds she would make. It's not like she needed to do such now anyway, she knew her way to her destination. She had gotten the job, but she didn't really know much else. Maybe there was some information that she couldn't read somewhere. She was going to the diner to try and gather more information, maybe there was somepony there that could tell her.
She finally made it inside the building. She would have to make use of the heat as much as she could for she probably wouldn't be experiencing it much ever again. Trotting her way over to her usual spot, she noticed the usual presence of the #1 employee. "Yo, Ponks, get me the usual would ya?" she called out before realising it would probably be the last time she'd ever get this. "Make it three, to make up for the times I won't be here."
