Sega offers apology for calling a Sonic character “Boob”
Sega’s Sonic Runners mobile game has a character called “Boob”. Oops. Sega has explained the Halloween update was supposed to introduce a character called Boo. The name “Boob” is a mistake. I'm dead pic.twitter.com/dEOVZwbw27 — Paul Veer (@pietepiet) October 23, 2015

Beyond 8-bit; an evolution of video game music as a surprising acapella
Okay, I’ll admit. I’ve seen plenty of Mario and Sonic acapellas now. It’ll take a little bit more than that to earn a blog post these days. Step forward Triforce Films. This isn’t just an acapella (with a touch of cosplay). This is a tour through the evolution of computer game music and that means […]
Is it possible? Sexy Sonic the Hedgehog cosplay
I’m sometimes a bit cautious using the word “sexy” to describe cosplay but in this case cosplayer Manzinat0r is okay with it. She explains; Happy new year everyone!

Short movie: Sonic the Hedgehog
This fan film, produced by Blue Core Studios, is clearly a not-for-profit spec film. There’s no ads on the video. There’s no need for Sega to do anything other than sit back and enjoy. I watched it cautiously at first, expecting to get bored early on, then mid-way through and then towards the end. Sure; […]

The French design boutique La Souris sur le Gateau have deployed some heavy weight CGI skills to remodel some iconic geek figures as if they were wooden statues. The project was speared by Tony and Emmanuelle and shows everyone from Darth Vader to Sonic. My question; is that last helmet Shreader from Teenage Mutant Ninja […]
Burlesque Sonic the Hedgehog
Can there any be any better example of sexy juxtaposition than mising traditional Sega with contemporary burlesque? If you’re not sure what burlesque is then I suggest you watch this video at work and find out for yourself! Well. Maybe! What do you think? Brings back teenage memories? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTcd5d68Q7A There’s quite a number of burlesque […]
Sega goes crazy – promotes mutant blue lump / Sonic “hat”
This blue object is a Sonic the Hedgehog hat. No, really. It is! It’s a magical hat that transforms from “what the heck is that!” to “that’s awesome!” with just the application of a beer (or one small brandy). Let’s say you’ve had that beer (or one small brandy) and now fancy the so-called hat. […]
