While AAUK, Blakey and Echo are basking in the most exquisite company of the wonderful Ram the Dragon, naturally they’re not paying attention to who or what might be lurking in the dark depths of the Sonic Wrecks archives… And what better time for me to sneak on to the site and show you guys an awesome little something a talented community member has sculpted for your viewing pleasure? Take a gander at these beauties…

Ever wondered about life. the universe, and everything, no? Well neither do I, but it seems Sonic does every so often.

Seems the answer is don’t eat food past its sell by date.

So out and about on my travels after Summer of Sonic I came across something interesting at at the gaming centre in the Trocadero. It seems that the Sonic Generations demo has been setup… with a steering wheel and pedal set…

Maybe it’s an early test by SEGA of alternate forms of control for Sonic… the steering wheel actually makes a bit of sense if you consider that they are designed to control fast moving object and Sonic does fall into the category. Maybe the pedals are the jump controls?

Or it could be that the controls are not connected and someone was just being industrious and making use of an un-used screen but that’s far less entertaining!

Last week it was announced that if you pre-ordered Sonic Generations at Gamestop stores you would also get an exclusive DLC pack. As usual this offer was US only so the rest of the unclean none American Sonic fans were left wondering whether we would get a similar offer. Well it seems that question has now been answered, in the UK at least.

In my local Game store today I noticed several boxes promoting free DLC if you pre-order and purchase Sonic Generations, see picture below.

Whether this is the same DLC pack as the one Gamestop has remains to be seen but it seems likely considering the artwork in the background, but the real question is, will this turn out to be a repeat of last years Argos fiasco offering a free Sonic Colours figure with every pre-order and then going back on it… hmm I’m getting cynical in my old age.

During this years Summer of Sonic, Lewis of SEGA Driven and I were given the opportunity to interview the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog Yuji Naka, and the current head of Sonic team Takashi Iizuka.

Watch the Summer of Sonic livestream right here, the festivities should be starting shortly.

If embeding this content has failed try heading over to ustream.

Well once again it’s that time of year when Sonic fans descend on London and have a big group hug. I’m heading off to London shortly so don’t expect any updates this weekend, saying that I don’t update that often anyway, but never fear people not able to go can follow the goings on via twitter or watch it live on ustream.

Right time for last minute packing, have a good weekend everyone and to anyone coming to Summer of Sonic, watch out for the crazed lunatic in a Hawaiian shirt.

Well if you didn’t guess by the title Just in Time is back! Yeah I’ve had a nice little break after filling in the plot holes of Just In Time, now it’s time to start again, and what better time than Sonic’s 20th birthday.

Now I know it’s not technically Silvers birthday but I can’t miss an opportunity to take the piss out of him!

It seems that last pony comic inspired Umiyuri to do some fan art, and it looks pretty awesome.

And now to play out this random update, have some Pinkie Pie playing a unbeatable tune on the trumpet.

Okay, I promise this is the last of the pony!
