It seems that through the confluence of various factors I’ve ended up with two copies of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter games for the Wii… hmm I guess I could sell one… nah that’s too much hassle. Tell you what why don’t I give it away?

Win this!

Yup that’s right, I’m offering you one of my lucky readers a chance to win a brand new sealed copy of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter games, so what do you have to do to win this cool game? Well first off you have to live in Europe, sorry to everyone else but it is a European copy. Next all you have to do is answer this simple question.

Where will the Olympic games be held in 2012?
A: Singapore
B: London
C: Italy

Answers and your name on an email to vger.ec@googlemail.com.

I will be selecting a winner at random from a hat on the 22nd of November, and announcing the winner here on Emerald Coast on the 23rd, good luck everyone!

Alright its back to barrel scrapping this week, which can mean only one thing! Yes the dumping ground for all videos no how pointless and useless youtube! That is it would be if I hadn’t just remembered about Newgrounds, oh thank you for saving me from digging through youtube… again.

Today’s Sunday Afternoon Sonic is an old flash animation which I came across a long time ago… and ended up putting me onto the music of Simple Minds… but that’s beside the point. Its a rather interesting animation where well… I don’t want to give it away, all I will say is that it might not be suitable for those who are not that fond of blood. So click here to see Sonic Breaks his Neck, by Splapp-me-do, and while your at it check out some of his other work here.

On a side note if anyone has any suggestions for Sunday Afternoon Sonic, please email me at vger.ec@googlemail.com thanks.

It’s Sunday afternoon again, and that can only mean one thing, your desperately trying to distract yourself from the horrors of the coming Monday whether that be work or school. Not to worry though because Emerald Coast has the answer! (continue reading…)

Now in the last week I have had about four hours total to myself where I would have been able to do a comic, however I was so worn out by that point I ended up playing some 360 instead,hence why there’s no comic this week sorry guys.

Never fear though from 8pm tonight I’m going to be back on the radio (SSR) for a one night special with Utheart disscussing our experiences at the Eurogamer expo, so look out for that.

Hmm, I a bit spoiled for choice at the moment on what to do for Sunday afternoon Sonic, at last count I have three things I want to highlight to you guys, so which one do I want to go for first? How’s about the most recent one? That makes some sense… I think.

Anyway enough of my babbling today’s SAS is about The Sonic Stadium! (continue reading…)

Hello I’m not here right now please leave a message after the beep… Not to worry though through the magic of wordpress I’m writing this on Friday while I sit at work pretending to be productive. So what do I have lined up for you this fine Sunday… or Friday… okay now my heads starting to hurt. (continue reading…)

I was rather worried this morning, I got up and thought oh god I’ve got to find something for a Sunday afternoon Sonic. I then checked my email and found something waiting… I don’t know what surprised me more, that someone reads these mad little rants or that someone had actually decided to respond after my appeal last week. So what was in this mysterious email? Hit the jump to find out. (continue reading…)

I’ve been scouring the internet for something to put up here to keep you guys from going mad on your Sunday afternoon… and well quiet frankly I failed miserably as all I managed to do was dig up a video of Tails doll dancing to music… yes this is what happens when I don’t find anything interesting… I put up stuff like this.

Now you may be thinking what can I do to prevent something like this from happening again? Well if you have found or created something that you think is worthy of wasting a Sonic fans Sunday afternoon then email me at: vger.ec@googlemail.com, it could be anything… a funny picture or video, a website basically anything as long as its related to Sonic… and not porn. Now get emailing or else I’m going to start putting up those edited Sonic X youtube clips… you know the ones where some sad fans have bastardised some images to make them look like there own characters to make them feel important.

I’ve got to thank AaUK for finding this on youtube on Friday… although I really shouldn’t have played it at work since I didn’t know whether to burst out laughing or get some headache medication. Anyway what is this marvellous video? Well its a MikuMikuDance video which is some sort of craze over in Japan right now where they get this 3D character model to dance and sing along to music… simple enough right? Well it seems someone has done a Dreams of an Absolution version… yeah… have a play if you dare although I do suggest you turn down your speakers first.

I promise next weeks Sunday afternoon Sonic will be a lot less squeaky. More after the jump. (continue reading…)

It’s Sunday again and it’s time to kill some time before work begins again tomorrow, so what do I have lined up? Well I’ve noticed recently its starting to get a bit cooler and this made me realise it will soon be time to wrap up warm and pray for snow so I don’t have to go to work… it never works though. This also brought to me the realisation that Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter games is just under a month away (October 16th UK release) and there have been a slew of new trailers recently to promote it, so why not gather them together in one place to kill some time and build a little anticipation for the upcoming game. Hit the jump for the trailers. (continue reading…)
