Following on from our birthday celebrations from yesterday we sort of  went on and on until we had a podcast, hey it was about time! This episode is called the ‘Belated Birthday’ episode as the podcast is or isn’t just after Sonic’s birthday depending on how you look at it. I’m joined by guest DivRank this time round, an ex-staff member and general fanatic.

We talk through the updates in the news, this years Summer of Sonic updates, I give you a brief tour of FastFeet Media as well as some of new features that are on offer. We also play some of the best Sonic tunes made as well as the worst remix ever made as well as all the usual banter from myself. It’s worth checking out this podcast at nearly an hour and a half long (we’ll try keeping it a little shorter next time!).

Yep it’s that magic time of year again, nope not Christmas - it’s Sonic the Hedgehogs birthday. It’s been 18 years since the original title was released on the Mega Drive. I’ve heard of a few events happening throughout today ranging from people eating cake that they’ve made for the special day over to Sega running some birthday compos too.

Today we’re celebrating by adding media that has a special significance to Sonic, so far we’ve added the 10th Anniversary album that was released in limited numbers. It is now available to listen to and download. That’s the first of our updates but there are  more still to come today, so keep an eye out as there’s plenty more to come today!

Yep, it’s done. It has taken me an astonishing amount of time to finish the FastFeet Media website (now on version 9). For quite some time now I’ve been trying to mold and shape it into a website that I personally am happy with, I couldn’t tell you how many hours or days it has taken but it has been worth it as not only am I happy with everything on the website but I’d like to think that all of you are too.

Why is this significant? One simple reason; it means that all we have to do now is add updates on the website in the shape of features, music, videos, user content (well that’s more your end!) and everything else. No more time will be spent on building the website…

I thought it was time for some updates regarding the website, for those of you with sharp observation skills you will have noticed that the website is now broken up into different categories that suit our cause for the better hopefully.

The website is now broken up into the Home Zone, Downloads, Music, Videos and last but not least, Public Access. Home Zone is where you can find all of the latest information in the community, the podcast as well as all of our articles. The Downloads section is quite obvious; it’s there for you all to download our massive archive of files simple as that. But the 3 newer sections are the most interesting additions the website has had in quite some time.

Yes, for the first time ever we can say that the worlds one and only Sonic the Hedgehog convention is returning this year. Over the last couple of days the official website for Summer of Sonic has re-emerged back at its usual web address: www.summerofsonic.com. The date is (as far as I know) set for Saturday August 29th 2009 in London and doesn’t seem likely to change anytime soon.

What I would recommend at this time is that if you are going or are thinking of going to the event is that you make your final decision soon-ish and start to make travel arrangements as the event does fall on August bank holiday weekend, especially if you are travelling from abroad.

Although it may have seemed as though nothing has been happening on the website as of late, to the regulars that means only one thing: I’ve gone and found my hammer and I’ve been building and constructing stuff in my back shed, for FastFeet Media of course. The new media additions to FastFeet Media have been split up into their corresponding areas: music, video and live media.

The videos area isn’t quite ready to go live yet as I have a few final tweaks to make, but for those of you who fancy a beta test of the videos section, you can click here to be taken straight to it. What I will say is that this the closest thing to a Sega/Sonic the Hedgehog specific YouTube there is on the interweb, you can vote and comment on videos as well as downloading them so please let us know what you think of the videos that are available. More updates coming soon, thought I would just drop off a new toy for you all to play with!

For those of you who are not in the UK Radio 1 isessentially the biggest and most popular radio station that is listened to across the country. During the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend (22nd to 25th May) Radio 1 will be covering lots of games based content ranging from reviews, leaderboards and even a games surgery to help out fellow gamers. BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra will be hosting an online poll to find the greatest ever video game. A panel of industry experts will compile a list of their top 100 games and then listeners will be invited to choose their top three from the list.

Perhaps the highlight of the weekend is that for once, video games soundtracks will be played and heard by millions over commercial radio - something that very rarely happens. Most of the music can be listened to on the Monday (25th), so it’s something worth tuning into!

You can give Sega and Sonic your support by calling in, but whether you’re in the UK or not you can listen to the events on Radio 1 via their website.

For those of you who have a keen eye, TSSZ News recently reported the upcoming Golden Joystick Awards. If anything the GJA’s are the most prestigious awards in the gaming industry to my knowledge, in fact the awards have actually been going for for 27 years now!

I don’t usually particpate in these sort of voting events but if there’s one to be involved in this year - this is it! Vote for the best games of the last year with categories ranging from console specific awards to best familygame.

So get voting! Personally I’m gunning for Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Chronicles to win some awards because it’s about time a Sonic game got an award and these 2 are the most likely candidates. Anyways click here to be taken to the voting page, may the best game win!

It was only a short while ago that FastFeet Media were given an exclusive chance to play test Chronicles (Read about it here) and we left with very high hopes for Chronicles. Recently Sonic the Hedgehog’s portable outings have been met with warm welcomes throughout the gaming community. Take for example Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure; both these titles have received very high scores all round due to the fact that both games somewhat brought traditional elements back to the series by keeping the gameplay largely 2D.

The summer is a funny time of year for gamers, the weather’s far better and less games seem to be released that are actually any good. So what can be done to help fill this void in our gaming calendar? Well for those of you who are unaware the Summer of Sonic event will be happening on August the 9th 2008 and will be a huge celebration of Sonic the Hedgehog and THE biggest gathering of fans of any single videogame ever. That is to the best of my recollection, how often is it that you see an entire convention just for one video game or one series of video games. So what’s all the hype about?

This is a single event that has been planned primarily by the Sonic Stadium with Sonic Wrecks giving close support, not only that Sega are also firmly backing the event and providing many goodies for all to enjoy. So far we can reveal that it’s far more than a simple meeting of fans. Everyone who is looking to attend will be able to enter the exhibition hall (which can hold around 200 people) from 10am on the day until 5pm. So far there are several events due on the day including an exclusive games playing corner supplied by Sega, a retro section, arts corner, several shows are planned throughout the day from SegaSonic:Radio, Radio Sega and Sonic Wrecks and finally - you’ll be able to meet Sonic the Hedgehog in person!
