Sonic fans asking for relief

The group is also asking for fans to use their creativity in another way: by planning their own Sonic-related fundraisers and adding the donations to the main total. This is where your "Watch Me Play Sonic Riders" marathon comes in. "Alternatively," the organizers note, "this system will also allow anyone to just simply make a donation should they wish!" This is where the proceeds from selling your copy of Sonic Riders come in.
It's nice to be reminded that fans can band together for something other than boycotts. The drive will run from January to March.

Sonic Gives Back.

I am glad that they're doing this though. I'm all for donations to charity.

"No, not from Sonic games!"
Sincerely expected that this would be it.

I seriously did expect it to be about a group of Sonic fans pleading for Sega to just give up.

For the love of God HELP US!

Wrong, bitch. Star Wars is forever.
Shadowbender (Nelson Is Behind You) @ Nov 30th 2009 7:21PM
FADE.
Shadowbender (Nelson Is Behind You) @ Nov 30th 2009 7:23PM
Oh, and Darth is right. Star Wars is indeed, FOREVER.
Off-topic: Not too long ago, I had a close encounter with none other than Harrison Ford. It was surreal and awesome.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Nov 30th 2009 7:23PM
I'd say. Harrison Ford is a badass.
Spike (GT: SitriStahl) @ Nov 30th 2009 7:26PM
bradwart, you idiot, star wars is a long time ago in a galaxy far far away
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Nov 30th 2009 7:28PM
Who said it ended? It's continued...even into our day.
Hence, forever.
CheeziePotato @ Nov 30th 2009 7:29PM
I also met Harrison Ford when I was a kid, he's fucking awesome.
Star Wars is indeed forever....in a galaxy far, far away.
CheeziePotato @ Nov 30th 2009 7:30PM
Dammit, Spike, you beat me to it.
Hooded Miracle @ Nov 30th 2009 9:23PM
You know what also came from the eighties?
You.

Honestly, I read the headline and thought: "So, fans are asking for relief from poor Sonic Games next year? Sounds reasonable."
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Nov 30th 2009 7:17PM
Well, we've got to give Needlemouse a shot.
Moschetto @ Nov 30th 2009 7:16PM
Sonic fanart?
Ends justify the means, I guess.
F1: Basu Gasu Bakuhatsu @ Nov 30th 2009 7:17PM
Ya wait till the fan fics.
HighFiveJesus @ Nov 30th 2009 7:15PM
they should still share some of that money from the 5 million copies sold of the first game, and the inevitable 5 million from the new one. couldn't have been that expensive to produce.
HighFiveJesus @ Nov 30th 2009 7:15PM
to clarify, summer and winter olympics.
uncle jesse @ Nov 30th 2009 7:18PM
'Sonic Relief 2010' - Please make a GOOD Sonic game
'Help us enter the next dimension' - 3 dimensional/open world game on new consoles
That's what I actually thought this was about after seeing that - fans wanting a new, 3D Sonic that's actually decent. Anyone else?
Mr Khan @ Nov 30th 2009 7:38PM
Give me a proper Sonic Adventure 3, and i would be right happy. A direct sequel to the 2nd-best game of all time would be quite fitting.
Uncontrol @ Nov 30th 2009 7:46PM
lmao sonic adventure 2 the second-best game of all time
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Nov 30th 2009 7:48PM
I just wish Sonic X-Treme had actually been released.
Vexorg @ Nov 30th 2009 7:25PM
Good to see them using their powers for good instead of for vaguely disturbing for once...
Roger @ Nov 30th 2009 7:27PM
With all the fan art cluttering up the internet; it might be a success.
Or a showing of people who are just like spax3.
Giroro @ Nov 30th 2009 8:12PM
I know what Sonic fan artists are capable of, and it's not pretty.
*shudder*
PersianSpice @ Nov 30th 2009 8:19PM
Never really thought Sonic fan art could be used for good.
Traceur_Ryuk [Founder of The Anti-EMCB(tm) and co-leader of ATDF] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Nov 30th 2009 8:19PM
I read the title and honestly thought they were asking for a good game.
Sly @ Nov 30th 2009 9:19PM
"no is not stars wars fantom menis and atak of da clons n da cartoon netwok star wars"

damn you're a fucked up person...

"Watch Me Play Sonic Riders"
They should make this mandatory.
I'd be far more likely to donate money if it meant not having to watch someone play Sonic Riders.

Am I the only one fearing the inveitable furry-dom that will ensue?
