I know most of you sick bastards have been waiting for Miley Cyrus, but someone more important has just turned eighteen today, and he's everybody's favorite blue hedgehog. Sega's long-suffering mascot has become legal, and if you thought the furry slash fanfiction was bad before, you just wait to see how horrible it gets today.
To celebrate Sonic's birthday, Sega is giving away loads of stuff in Twitter via its Sonic Games account. If you want free stuff, follow them and jump through a series of hoops in order to win things like download codes for XBLA games, and a load merchandise with Sonic's battered face on it.
Happy birthday, Sonic. Here's to you, and we hope that Sega puts you in a good game as a nice little treat on your special day.

Just sayin'...
Sonic Megamix, go!
The last sonic game I played (that I thought was good) was Sonic Adventure 2. And the first sonic on ps3 and 360 was fun for about 15 mins only because the graphics looked nice. I guess I'm a bit of a tool for not checking out the most recent one, but the whole were-hog thing looks ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
Also, does anyone notice the trend of making a kart racing game when most platformer devleoper's run out of good ideas? Crash did it, Mario did it, Jak and Daxter did it and now sega is about to do it for the 2nd time when the first one was nothing more than mediocre...didn't they release it on the saturn too? Bad choices...
Yeah, he's been racing and junk for a while now. =P
Happy Birthday blue blur
Oh crap!
by the way. Happy Birthday sonic. I love the little guy.
Don't blame Sonic, blame the massive incompetence of the new Sonic Team.
Here's to hoping that if the next Sonic game is a dive that they axe Sonic Team...
I would love to see another good Sonic game. Happy Birthday you drug crazed blue streak.
If you mean the NES, then this makes sense. If you mean the company, we may want to call up the Guinness Book of World Records...
You know what would be a fantastic gift? A good game. Lets hope Sonic Team delivers.
May you live long enough to shit yourself!
Cheers.
SEGA, please do something special for him this coming year... Put him in a good game, please. He deserves it.
happy birthday wishes
