Tiny Announcement

Feel free to ask Jerry of Angry Fox, any question that comes to mind, from romance, trivia, video games to his immediate thoughts on your countries politics (has to be researchable on a major news website I can read and discern how he would react.  I am a fat lazy American who slept through High School, meaning I know English…or the butchered form of it we call ‘American’.)!  It will be present, uncensored (as in copeh-pasted word for word) under whatever ‘name’ you submitted.  He will make every effort he can to answer (mostly because he has no choice in the matter) in his unique brand in being ‘helpful’.  There is but one rule in asking him a question.  One question per person, if  you have more or the answer did not satisfy you in any way, then your gonna have to wait for someone else to ask a different question or another strip has gone by.   If your questions are short enough and easily answered, he’ll go through the lot of them Rapid Fire Style.

Disclaimer, he is an a@#$%e.  He doesn’t like humans.  You have been warned. :V

Submit your questions to angeryfox[@]hotmail.com (without the  brackets plz) under the heading of ‘Asking Jerry’. Make sure you send it without ATTACHMENTS or LINKS.  I will not open email with attachments I did not ask for, or click links that I, again, did not ask for.  I maybe a fat jolly blighter, but I be a tad paranoid.

If the question is short enough, and you have the Twitter, I be ValorB, just throw the question there, just make sure its mentioned at me or your talking to yourself.

And if your REALLY lazy, like me, just leave it in the comments below.
Have fun.

I thought I’d keep this weeks poll simple, which do you prefer, the Archie of Fleetway Sonic comic series? And for those of you who prefer neither then I’ve provided an option for you. What can I say I’ve got comics on the brain at the moment.

Now for last weeks poll results, right after the jump.

I’s been a week or two since the last chapter so I thought it might be an idea to put up the next part, as it certainly entertains, enjoy! Once again a massive shout out to Ian Robb for writing this awesomely epic yarn.

So, as some of you know there was the first London meet post-SoS on the Sunday. What some of you aren’t aware of, is that there was a semi-private meet going on over the course of the entire weekend in Portsmouth.

Sonic music remixes are all over the place nowadays, some of them good as long as you know where to look, but something that seems fairly consistently good is guitar remixes of the classic mega drive tracks. There is something in there simple tunes that lends themselves well to the guitar, and today I’ve dug up two videos from Andy Gillion which demonstrate this pretty well, so sit back and relax listening to some awesome guitar work.

Part 2 after the jump.

Okay, as part of the re-design I’ve decided to put in some polls, and I thought it might be an idea to do a poll to decide a small part of Emerald Coasts future. So the first EC poll is: What theme do you want to see next on EC?

Easy enough question but the options aren’t so clear, so choose away, polls close next Thursday and I will put together the next theme based on the results. to vote, go to the bottom of the sidebar.

It’s been a while since we showcased an animation on here so i went and did a little digging today and managed to find a new Sonic Vs Knuckles animation, it looks pretty cool, check it out here. Or just click to watch below.

A part 2 is also in the works, animation by Aerobian-Angel.

Last week, I updated you folks with a review I performed back in April on Spiral Knights. this week, however, I took a more updated look at the game by Three Rings and SEGA.

So, what has happened in the realm of the Clockworks in the last 4 months?

Recently, we have had the official announcement of a million players on Spiral Knights, which, I imagine quite a few of those have come from the also recent Steam partnership.

Slightly prior to that, we had the first new low-tier boss addition in the form of the Snarbolax, which is great fun, and a really good introduction to specific tactics used for bosses for low-tier players.

We have also seen the inclusion of the in-game auction house, which if you’ll notice, is one of the things I felt was one of Spiral Knights’ flaws at the time. Talking to some of the older SK players, some feel, that the auction house has taken slightly away from the community feel of trading, which, it does, to an extent, but then, it allows those players, who don’t like to talk openly with strangers, to actually help themselves in the game. Overall, I think it is still an overall improvement to it’s in-game economy structure as well.

More recently, after the Steam partnership, we have had the new Tier 2 boss of the Roarmulus Twins. Which, I personally, have managed to defeat for the first time quite recently, and it was a REALLY good boss encounter. The levels prior to it, are slightly overtuned, and even the slightest bit of lag can hamper getting through there solo, but as a party group, theres definately some extra margin. But overall, it’s really fun, which is the most important thing.

You can read the rest of this follow-up review here, and remember you can check out all other reviews done by the Radio SEGA review team on the site as well!

Okay I know I’m a little late today, but moving yesterday and unpacking today, I’ve been a little busy, so may I present to you
chapter 5 of Back to Reality… after the jump.

Chapter Five – Of Dice and Duellists

“So, what now?” Vger asked his group as they walked aimlessly through the city, unsure what to do now

“I suggest dropping Rebecca back home” Joey-Spin suggested as the grey vixen slowly walked behind the group, obviously very tired from the day’s events

“Good idea” Vger nodded “Perhaps it’ll be a good way to find out what to do next”

“Hey – is that someone over there?” Tristan-Andy pointed out as a young man of the same age scurried towards them. He wore what looked like a blue and white striped shirt with dragon motifs on with blue jeans and a grey bandana over his messy white hair.

“Hey! Bakura!” Joey-Spin called out

“Oh boy…Why did I think Blake would be Bakura in this universe?” Vger muttered to himself

“Well, at least you’re adapting to your new environment” Urtheart replied

“Adapting? I’m not adapting – I’m just desperate for this damn thing to be over”

“Why? You wanted to do this”

“It’s not that – I kinda want to use the bathroom…Not in reality, just in the game”

“Oh for…” Urtheart muttered, giving a mental face palm for the idiocy of the statement “Just find out what he wants”

“Got it” Vger replied, before saying to the human “Hey – you okay?”

“Oh, thank goodness you’re here” the posh British voice of Bakura-Blake replied “You have to help me”

“Why? What’s the problem?” Tristan-Andy asked

“There’s a duellist over there, challenging people to a random game that no one knows how to play. If you win, you get his custom cards. If you lose, he takes something special – and that bastard took my Millennium Ring”

“Wait – you played against his moron?” Vger asked “Why?”

“He offered me a cup of tea…” Bakura-Blake replied, a little forlorn and embarrassed

“Well then – we’ve gotta go help Bakura!” Tristan-Andy exclaimed

“…Can I go home now?” Rebecca-Vulpa moaned

“Not yet – we’ve got a foe to vanquish!” Joey-Spin exclaimed “You stay here Bakura – we’ll be right back!”

“Oh joy…” Vger moaned “Can I hope that they have something to drink this time?”

“What the hell is that?” Vger exclaimed as a large playing arena loomed into view.

“It’s a new Kaiba-Corp VR playing arena” Joey-Spin replied

“See – THIS is how you do a VR arena” Urtheart snarked

“Shut. Up” Vger muttered through gritted fangs

“Hey – look at all these cheerleaders!” Tristan-Andy exclaimed as the quartet approached a mysterious figure in a chair, surrounded by females in differing cheerleading outfits “This guy must be really popular”

“Ah, new challengers?” the figure asked, a sound system playing dance music by his feet

“You there – what is your purpose for your random duelling?” Vger exclaimed

“My purpose?” the figure said jovially “Girls, explain.” At those words, the cheerleaders stood in a row, each one brandishing pompoms. As Vger looked on, he noticed small differences in them – one wore an entirely white ensemble, another had vivid pink hair, a third wore what looked like a scientist’s lab coat and, he could swear, a purple dragon with a large book under her talons.

“Duke, Duke, He’s our guy! He wins duels and he’s real fly!” the girls chanted “He’s brought SexyBack to your dull lives! Fear his dice or end like flies! Gooooooo DUKE!” With those last words, fireworks behind the man’s chair were set off as he stood up to fully reveal his face. Scruffy black hair hung over a green visor on his head and dice-shaped ear-rings. A long black leather jacket was worn over a fashionable duellist waistcoat and trousers, and finally a small pearl medallion hung around his neck

“Bloody hell…” Vger cursed “T.A’s Duke Devlin? HIM?!”

“Well…You gotta admit there are some bugs in your system…” Urtheart replied “And I think this is one of them”

“No – really?!” Vger exclaimed as Duke-T.A approached the group

“So, what brings you over here?” the duellist asked, moving a die through his fingers elegantly

“We’re here to challenge you and take your items that you stole from people!” Tristan-Andy exclaimed

“Stole?” Duke-T.A laughed “I didn’t steal anything, expert perhaps hearts” As if by command, the cheerleaders sighed in unison

“Pass me a sick bucket” the orange-furred fox muttered

“But we hard that you duel people for items” Joey-Spin asked

“Oh, I do – I offer a challenge. If they win, they win my prized items. If they lose…Well, you’ll find out”

“Is that what happened with Bakura?”

“Whiny British kid? White hair? Looks like a girl with that hair band?”

“It’s a bandana!” a voice yelled out seemingly out of nowhere

“What the hell was that?” Vger exclaimed

“Don’t look at me” Duke-T.A replied “It’s not part of my set-up…”

“Anyway, this is getting nowhere” Joey-Spin yelled “We challenge you to your duel challenge. And by we, I mean Yugi”

“Oh boy…I can hardly contain my excitement…” Vger sighed “Anyone knows where there’s a cliff to jump off from?”

Have you read the greatest story ever told? No? Well your in luck because today Emerald Coast has found it, and guess what, it has Sonic in it! As if any of you lot didn’t believe that already.
