Damn you HMV! ASR figure on UK highstreet

Posted by Vger, Mar.02, 2010, under Merch

I just got back from a trip to HMV since I heard a rumour this morning that HMV had a stock of ASR figures. I was pleasantly surprised to find out the rumour was true! However there is a catch, in a fiendish marketing ploy you have to buy the game in order to be eligible for the figure… and I was hoping to avoid getting the wii edition of ASR… oh well.

The store I went to only had a couple left so if you want one I suggest you hurry. Now if you excuse me I have to find a way into my new ASR game by removing the ridiculously numerous security stickers without ripping the packaging.


Bentley Jones – So Much More

Posted by Vger, Jan.18, 2010, under Community, Merch

As some of you may know Bentley Jones has a new CD coming out soon, in fact it’s out tomorrow, so I thought I should just remind you that you really should take the time to go to Bentley’s website and order it from there, for £8 before postage and a signed photo for pre-orders it’s a bargain. If that’s not enough then have a watch of this marvellous music video, no bunnies are included in the final CD however.

CD Review – True Colors

Posted by Vger, Jan.05, 2010, under Merch

True Colors apart from being a Phil Collins hit song is the name of the new Best of Sonic the Hedgehog compilation CD, this time round rather than focusing on Sonic like the first CD, True Blue, did there is a large selection of theme music from all the other characters in Sonic the hedgehog.

Now I was rather happy to arrive at work after my Christmas break to find a copy of True Colors sitting on my desk, which went straight into my work computer and provided an excellent distraction from the days work, but distracting me from my work is easy considering how boring it is. The real question is, is this latest compilation any good? Read on for my thoughts. (continue reading…)
