Outside the main convention halls, I was hanging out with a few members of Dtoid Austin (after having photos taken with some fans of mine which was great because I could pretend to be famous when I am just a blogger) when a very special guest walked by. I had just missed him at E3 and didn't have my camera when I visited Sega Europe. This time, however, opportunity would not slip past me.
As you can see, I got very excited and kind of look a bit like a mentally impaired. I told Sonic he was my best one out of all the characters what do videogames and that I thought he was awesome in Super Mario Bros. I think he was really impressed by me and that we're now friends.
Sonic the Hedgehog is now officially the most famous person I know.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

@Grimlin Stew, GTF outa here!
And you obviously can't use proper punctuation and spelling. Who's the embarrassment, again?
@gremlinstew
You should be ashamed .

LMFAO!!
You people are the reason I usually avoid comments and blogs from people with no avatar.
We'll verify that in his next game.
It's not harsh at all. Those people are not only a national embarrassment, they're a massive drain on our health care system, and they're lethal to the environment. Half of Brazil's rain forest must've been clear cut just to create enough pasture land to feed Jimmy. And I think I speak for most taxpayers when I say I have no interest in subsidizing his diabetes treatment and his upcoming quadruple bypass surgery.
Show some goddamn impulse control.
It's really annoying. If you're going to make fun of him. At least be clever.

Ya got that endearing excited little kid look that anyone meeting Sonic should have! :)
@PhazonYoshi
Now he is a international embarrassment!
I would love to have been in that very picture.
That being said...I can outrun Sonic!
Congrats Jim, too bad you're already married eh?
Shit, now the Brits get to see yet another grotesquely fat American in person. That should do wonders to tear down the fat American stereotype.
Jimmy, can you at least move down to the one of the Southern states. Most of the grotesquely fat Americans are down there, and tourists rarely go there. If we can get you all herded together with the hill folk, at least we can tell the rest of the world that's it's just a regional abomination.
It would be truly sad if the future were to be deprived of the hard hitting and informative writing of, oh wait, nevermind. Eat up.
Om nom nom nom.
Try writing something that is not useless self indulgence instead of putting drivel like this on the front page.
You're my hero, Jim Sterling.
The chances of someone like you sticking to a diet are about nil so our best hope is rooting for the coronary. Try not to chew too much.
