With the union glitches abundant, you may have missed a Blast... or many Blasts. If you did, you can check this thread out and see what the Blast had to inform you of.


SonicSpot Blast - 11/8/10

SonicSpot Blast Bar

-sonictrainer reviews Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1. Read the review for what SonicSpot thinks of the game!
-dandymarsh provides us info on a fanmade Sonic game demo. Looks awesome, I think it's worth checking out.
-kbaily rants about the recurring level themes throughout the Sonic series. I'm sure you've noticed them too, right?
-sonictrainer gives us the scoop on the new voicework for some Sonic characters... Well, we'll see how it goes from here!

-NP Colors Review and Free Riders Character Roster

SonicSpot Blast Bar 2

-ArmoredCore55 asks the union what its favorite Sonic TV show is.
-kbaily shows us screens of a mobile phone version of Sonic Rush. Looks like a Sonic Rush Unleashed, right?
-sonicphc wants the union to remember old mechanics that, for one reason or another, aren't used in the games anymore. Which ones do you miss?
-Cloud_765 ponders whether or not Yuji Naka was bringing Sonic Team down near the end of his time with them.
-killeracer0210 started a discussion what Sonic game is the worst. Let us know what you think!
-the-retro-gamer wants us to share our input on what we think of the Sonic comics.
-KLX0589 can't get into 2D Sonic. Maybe he needs some convincing?
-IslandBros15 doesn't think Sonic 4 and Colors are enough to warrant Sonic's comeback. Share your thoughts on that.

There will be a few new things in store coming to the union soon, too, so look out for those!


SonicSpot Blast - 12/2/10

Happy December, folks! We've got some new content on the boards, so let's not waste time and let's just get to it!

SonicSpot Blast Bar

-white_kunoichi reviews Sonic Underground (I really need to get around to making the scorecard for that... xD).
-kbaily rants how Sonic 4: Episode 1 seems to just be a port of an iPhone game.
-sonictrainer reviews the Wii version of Sonic Colors! So it's true, a good 3D Sonic game is possible!
-sonicphc reviews the DS version of Sonic Colors and cranks up the sound of the game to 11!

SonicSpot Blast Bar 2

-kbaily started a discussion on what levels we could be seeing in Sonic 4: Episode II. What do you think we'll see?
-nunchuk posted a link to a YouTube vid about Screwattack's "Worst 2D to 3D" series. Sonic's on the list. Share your reactions to that.
-Cloud_765 (wait, that username's familiar...) started a topic on what Sonic games can hold up well and can still be played alright today.
-kbaily informs us that Sonic 4: Episode I is appearantly one of the Top 10 Disappointments of 2010, according to IGN.
-SuperfastSonic asks whether or not the Sonic Rivals games are any good. Thoughts? Share 'em.
-kbaily has compiled a convenient, entertaining, and accurate guide to critic reviews in regards to Sonic games.
-kbaily has posted two threads from Screwattack's opinions on Sonic 1 and Sonic 2
-gamerguy456 informs us that Sonic's 20th Anniversary is coming soon, and that Sega could be planning a big comeback game to celebrate it. If so, let's hope it doesn't turn out like the "gift" we all got when Sonic turned 15.

Until next time, see you all at the SonicSpot board!

SonicSpot Blast - 1/4/11

Hey guys, it's a new year and you know what that means! A new telegram! Joking aside, there's been a lot of new stuff since last time, so let's get right down to it:

SonicSpot Blast Bar

-kbaily gave us a year in review for Sonic, and also showed us that Sonic got some awards for something good.
-Soniczero1993 rants about how Sonic has finally achieved a sort of victory or something!
-Cloud_765 rings in SonicSpot's 5th birthday with a new rant on the history of the union, and then he ranted about various mechanics in Sonic games. (Wait why am I referring to myself in 3rd person?)
-kbaily lists off some neat Sonic stuff for the holiday season which has already passed but these items still exist so yeah.

SonicSpot Blast Bar 2

-The Sonic game tourney has come to a close and Sonic 3 & Knuckles is stlll the reigning champion. However, the union wanted to pit Sonic Colors and the champ together, so like those extra stages in the Advance series that you unlock after getting the Chaos Emeralds which no one ever really did, we decided to put that dream match to the vote!
-Sonic RPG 9 is finally here! If you've been waiting for it, stop waiting and get in there!
-IslandBros15 points out that someone is really awesome at Emerald Hill Zone Act 1... maybe a bit too awesome.
-Cloud_765 asks the union what their favorite Wisp Power from Sonic Colors is. Oddly, no one has really talked about the Wisps from the DS version. Maybe we all just are paying too much attention to- OH MAH GOODNESS A GEWD 3D SONIC GAEM!
-SuperfastSonic and the rest of us are all kinda creeped out about how Miis were incorporated into Sonic Colors.
-icecoldmarty wants us to discuss what the longest Sonic game is. A lot of them are short, so this is kind of a trick question. Kind of.
-To ring in the new year, considering most of us partied New Years away, kbaily provided us some Sonic-related lols.
-Finally, Cloud wants to know something else, this time, what you're hoping to see out of Sonic this coming year.

P.S.: There'll be a worst Sonic game tourney coming soon, and also an awards ceremony to celebrate 20 years of Sonic, the latter will take place in a single, ever changing thread and will start between the end of this month and the beginning of next month.

Telegram contents for those who don't receive them: Hey, SonicSpot members, I'm trying to gauge interest in a series of friendly Sonic-related challenges over the course of the next two months, leading up to the Generations release. If you're even remotely interested, you should check out the discussion thread and let us know. After all, many of us have been rolling around at the speed of sound for years... shouldn't we find out who's the fastest? sonicphc SonicSpot Union Staff

New Telegram (for those who don't receive it due to GS timing out all the time on Telegram sends) 1. SonicSpot Challenges. Remember that Telegram from a couple of days ago asking for interest in some Sonic related skill challenges? Well, SonicSpot Challenges are go! Read up on the rules and scoring at the previous link, check out the challenges for Stage 1, and submit your best records and discuss in the Official Thread. Round 1 includes the ever popular Emerald Hill Time Attack, a Score Attack on City Escape, and a much less well known Ring Attack on Power Plant. Get on out there and show us that you're the furthest past cool of them all! 2. Administrative stuff Congratulations to our two newest officers, MobilechicaneX and mariostar0001. With McX's constant news hounding and ms's activity driving, well, activities, we're expecting our little hole-in-the-fanbase to become an even better place for Sonic fans of every shape, size, and opinion to spend their CPU Cycles on. Speaking of news hounding, McX just dropped more screenshots and details for the 3DS version of Sonic Generations in the Sonic Generations Official Thread And speaking of activities, mariostar is running a Greatest Sonic Music voting tournament - perfect for when you've still got that voting itch after you're done voting for Tails.

New Telegram. I wanted to put more stuff in it, but I hit my 4096 character limit with all the links! I apologize in advance if something awesome you did got missed. :( Lots of news and activities have spring up in the last two weeks! No time for my usual blathering - let's dive right in! News & Updates - SomuchSonicGenerationsnewsit'salmostnotfunny. Seriously. Every single one of those words was a link. There's just so much that I can't give a cute summary of every article, but big reveals amongst newsmageddon include: -- Lists of in game Achievements (and the spoilers therein) -- Confirmation of a hub world. -- Skill shop where upgrades and a copy of the original Sonic The Hedgehog game can be bought with points earned by playing. -- Confirmations of various, previously leaked levels. -- Lot's of eye bleedingly delicious images of said levels and characters. -- ...Seriously, just click the links. You know you want to. ;) - sonictrainer has an issue with the "eras" Sega's breaking Sonic into. Check out his rant on the matter. Games & Activities - The Sonic Music Tournament is now into voting round 1f! Be sure to keep checking back over the week and voting for your favorite tunes. There will be no Launchpad McQuacking this "best of" tourney! - Music not enough for you? In honor of Sonic's 20th Anniversary, Cloud_765 is putting together a comprehensive Sonic Awards activity, which will cover the best and worst of everything Sonic. Nominations for this one end October 1st.

- The SonicSpot Challenges competition has gotten a little less activity than it needed to get off of the ground. It still sounds like members are interested in something like it, though, so if a little friendly competition appeals to you, drop by the discussion thread and suggest possible formats that you'd be more interested and/or able to participate in. All suggestions welcome. On the Forum - Didn't get the Launchpad McQuack joke three bullet points earlier? That's ok. Just join the commiseration over Tails's (and everyone else's) striking defeat in Gamespot's Greatest Sidekick Contest. - chaoslava has graced us with another one of his pieces of 3D Sonic Fanart. Check out his Hidden Palace and older work here. - Sonic Shorts Volume 7 came out the other week. The popular flash series is always good for a chuckle or four. - Hyrule4Ever presents the Second part of his ongoing analysis of the "Science of Sonic," including chili dog calories, Chaos Emeralds, and physical attributes. Keep on runnin', sonicphc
