Probably a TSSZ thing, not a Sega thing.

 

Anyway, moving on to actual news. New Sonic plushes coming this year.... and guess what, they're classic again.

They look okay. The arms look kinda strange though.

While I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed not to be a game, I'm excited to see what the special reveal is!

Aww, they're adorable. Though Tails is a bit derpy looking.

It's always the Tails doll isn't it?

So this hapened on TSSZ:  http://www.tssznews.com/2016/03/07/rumor-ben-kalough-spotted-in-the-california-bay-area/

You may ask why am I posting that? That's because, besides them doing a joke, that just may have something in comone with Sonic's 25 anniversary. Why? Well, quoting Donnie:

"there’s actually a legitimate reason for this article…can’t say at this time though."

He can't say know. And it isn't first thing like that in comunity.

And when I ask them when will they say about it they answered:

"I'd say in 1-2 weeks"

Maybe I'm overthinking. But something seems fishy about that article. It's still a month untill April 1st.

I saw Micheal Jackson the other day though. I took a picture:

When he saw me with my camera he was like "who the fuck are you?", roundhouse kicked me in the head, and he ran into an alley. I KNEW it was him.... I just know it.

But seriously, something is fishy with this article.

4/1 again? The other numbers are new afaik? Maybe they're just fooling around? I don't know what to think.

Can't wait to play Sonic Numbers when it launches this fall!

Pretty sure that Segabits is just messing with people.

Did everyone here just forget Ken Balough's name or something? You know, the Sonic 4 as you've truly imagined it guy? That ringing any bells? Because if you guys actually remembered Ken Balough, you would immediately catch something wrong going on with how "Ben Kaough" is being spelled. The whole Ben Kalough thing is just a huge joke. There's no SEGA of Antarctica. And besides, even if it was real (It's not) don't you guys think it's kind of strange that the Sonic Advance Collection video is being filmed in an empty room and it barely has any views? You guys sometimes, ugh...

東京ジョイポリスでファミ通さんにソニック２５周年の取材をうけました。なんと中、大島、飯塚の3人でインタビューを受けたのですが、多分3人でソニックのインタビューを受けたのは初めてなのではと思います。もしかしたらソニックアドベンチャーの時にあったかなあ、２５年前の話を思い出しながら色々と話していたのですが、意外と知らない話も出てきていてとっても興味深かったですよ。インタビューの掲載は多分ソニック２５周年を迎える６月あたりになるかと思いますので、お楽しみに。

 

Can someone offer a better translation?

I have inside sources and I can confirm that Ben Kalough is very much real. If he wasn't a Sega employee wouldn't try to deny him still being alive!

Google translate roughly states:

I was interviewed Sonic 25th anniversary in Famitsu's in Tokyo Joypolis. In what, Oshima, Iizuka I were interviewed three people, probably have received an interview with Sonic in 3 people will think that the first time is. I wish there was at the time of the Sonic Adventure maybe, I had lot of talk while remembering the story 25 years ago, it was very interesting to have come out even talking about not surprisingly known. Since the interview Listings I think whether probably become per June marks the 25 anniversary of Sonic, to enjoy.

 

[Spooky Mulder]

Remember when SEGA released the Green Hill Zone demo from Generations on June 23rd 2011?

I hope they do something cool for the actual anniversary again this year.

[Rey Skywalker-Ren]

Pretty much that he, Oshima and Iizuka were interviewed by 3 people in Jolypolis. They (the interviewers) thought it was the first time. Ever since Sonic Adventure came out, he had a lot to talk about story wise.

Only thing interesting is the fact that they are prepering a meme for tomorow. Thats all.

[SSF1991]

Well that and the numbers are back again.

[shdowhunt60]

Is there anything significant about the date March 21 2000 that we're not aware about?

[Mauricius]

I just noticed (credit goes to Sonic Retro) the word 'add' after the numbers. Would that be 7.22.16?

Well, I'll be. I think that's about as tangible of a date we've gotten.

[Drunk Michael Myers]

Interesting that they are using the "menustyle" from Sonic Generations on the speachbubbles.

[Badnik Mechanic]

Anyone got a link to the first time he said 'add the numbers'.
