I know I have been somewhat lacking in my not-so-contractual obligation to provide you people with something funny, but I do promise that I will finish the Innocent Mistake arch.  I am currently asking a few Interweb Celebrities, including a few who are rather obscure in some cases, to make guest appearances in this community match up of famous faces poorly pixel and slap together by me, the ‘artist’.

I ask that you all continue to be patient, and that I will start churning out comics again here soon.  Ish.

I would blame someone here. Thus I blame comiccommentor. <3

In other developments it was hinted that the event may not take place in central London which considering that the Olympics are only a few weeks after SoS and every venue in the central London area will have jacked there prices through the roof because of this, looking further away makes sense. Now before everyone who has already booked a hotel in the middle of London starts running around like a headless chicken panicking, it has been mentioned that venues under consideration are within easy commuter distance of central London and local airport terminals so please don’t panic.

Keep your eyes peeled on the Summer of Sonic website for more updates coming in the next few weeks.

Then over in the US there will be the second Sonic Boom event will be held at the San Diego Comic con on Friday the 13th. Check out the SEGA blog announcement here.

Okay I just saw the new place on the net to get your Sonic merch… at least if your a UK fan that is. sonicmerchandise.com/ has launched to little or no fanfare or promotion at least from what I can see and I can understand why.

Looking around the site it seems okay enough except it seems to be lacking in content they have sections for Figures and plushies which have nothing in which seems to me to be just teasing.

I will admit the few items they have on there they have some things I’ve not seen in the UK until now, and then they have things they are charging £9.98 for which have been given away at special events. Just a little cheeky don’t you think?

Now if you want to actually buy something be prepared to be stung as they seem to have got a bit confused on there adding system when it comes to VAT, come on it’s just a bit of simple math.

Oh but it gets better with each buy you get rings which can be redeemed for more merch… one assumes as it’s never explained no help page or anything.

And to round it all off the customer service page is in Latin… and even then translating it does not give you the customer service.

So overall it’s a bit of a shoddy launch… I can only hope that the site launch was an accident at this stage as it seems incomplete.

More fail can be found over in this SSMB topic.

Oh god, the nostalgia I’m drowning in it!

Plus in the background we get a better look at some of the levels from Generations. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to drool at this a couple more times.

Looking very snazzy.
