Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land Welcome to the first weekly instalment of Freaky Fan Art, an exploration of the peculiar, bizarre and downright peculiar places gamers’ imaginations take them after the end credits roll. This week, Sonic the Hedgehog gets stuck in the toilet, cuddles the prince of the beasts, and finally grows a pair.
More than 13,000 fans voted for their favourite video game ending of all time for the Guinness Book of World Records 2012 Gamer Edition, and this is what they came up with? Call of Duty: Black Ops is the greatest video game ending of all time? Maybe I need to go play it again. Oh wait, BioShock made the list, it’s obviously complete BS.
Now that the collectible crafters at First 4 Figures have gotten Sonic, Super Sonic, Metal Sonic and Knuckles out of the way, they can finally focus on producing a $US200 statue based on the real hero of the Sonic franchise: that mutant fox thing.
This is appropriate. Every time I’m out speeding around and run into something, I feel like I’ve lost all my rings, too.
Way before dumb-ass pundits called it a “terrorist fist jab”, the act of greeting a homie by touching clenched hands was called dap. (We’ll also accept ‘giving a pound’ as appropriate terminology.)
Oh look. It’s Sonic & Knuckles running on the PlayStation Vita, a handheld that’s been out for less than a month. How is this possible?

In the pouring rain on April 11, 1993, Brazilian Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna raced into history with one of the greatest performances of his career. In treacherous conditions, he held off spirited challenges from arch-rivals Damon Hill and Alain Prost to take a famous victory, one that would set him on the path towards a final World Championship before his tragic death a year later.
Celebrating 20 years of Sega’s blurry blue mascot, this Sonic the Hedgehog Christmas tree from 8BitFix’s Beatboxtaun stands as both a monument to video game culture and a reminder of those who won’t be with us this holiday season.
On Friday, artist Zac Gorman thought aloud “I think it’d be cute if Sonic ran like an idiot”. He accompanied this thought with a cute little animation. The internet did the rest.
This year, Sega mascot Sonic turns 20. To honour the occassion, those classy Frenchmen at Amusement magazine put together a very classy tribute: an art show.
