Kihrin has his own ideas about how to fight back, but even if he's willing to sacrifice everything for victory, the cost may prove too high for his allies.

HARSH WRITING ADVICE: You Do You and Don’t Listen to Men on the Internet

Nick Miller writer

In the words of Nick Miller, "Writers don't read. We write," and so maybe that's just that guy's mindset. Can't read his friends' work or have them read his because he has to keep on writing. That's my HARSH TAKE on his HARSH WRITING ADVICE.

This Week In Space: The UAE Is Almost To Mars!

A picture taken on July 19, 2020, shows a screen broadcasting the launch of the "Hope" Mars probe at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre in Dubai. - The probe is one of three racing to the Red Planet, with Chinese and US rockets also taking advantage of the Earth and Mars being unusually close: a mere hop of 55 million kilometres (34 million miles). "Hope" -- Al-Amal in Arabic -- is expected to start orbiting Mars by February 2021, marking the 50th anniversary of the unification of the UAE.

The United Arab Emirates' Hope mission (Al-Amal in Arabic) will reach Mars on February 9th when it enters orbit.

It's amazing to think that out of 30 years of going fast, Roger Craig Smith has been around for 1/3 of that time as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog. With a career as extensive as his, I'm sure we'll continue to hear Smith all throughout animation and gaming. To Roger Craig Smith, thanks for providing so many years of my adventures through Green Hill Zone and its reimaginings. Here's to your future in brand new zones!
