Sonic Social Media Shenanigans (This totally just happened...)

Neat. Well, here's hoping tomorrow is something good!

 

I don't think that'll be necessary. This is getting pretty big pretty fast. The thirst is REAL!

Well boys and girls, I'll put it like this. Like I said on Twitter:

>Trust me, said the snake to the old man.
>February has a big announcement this week
>A particular portion of the fanbase will be disappointed or upset.

Though I imagine that's now going to be much bigger! :v:

All right, all right. Let's just get it out of the way.

So I've been doing some digging and source work--you know, JOURNALISM stuff for the past month and change. Namely, I remembered that SoA went on a bit of a hunt for something. So after some JOURNALISM and INDEPTH HARD HITTING REPORTING, I can safely LEAK OUT:

I am your new Sonic the Hedgehog Social Media Intern/Ruby Eclipse's Minion!

I await the fire storm with open arms. Call me the Iblis Trigger.

 

100 guests and counting on the thread.

I hope you're ready for your comeuppins.

 

How much blood did the pact require, Gene?

Let the hype train start chugging.

 

I don't know what's going on right now, but I like it.

Congrats on the new job, man. You deserve it.

 

Sonic 25th anniversary game starring Sports Tape Sonic and Modern Sonic.

Uses Cryengine 3 and exclusive to Wii U.

You heard it here first, folks.

Also congrats Gene!

 

Quoting because this gif fits perfectly.
Congrats man. Fucking congrats.

 

Oh my god, that gif. That's fantastic

 

Honestly I don't feel that this level of hype was necessary but congrats man, its nice to have more members on SEGA's payroll (well, you're not being paid but y'know what I mean).

So what does a social media intern do exactly?

 

Basically me tomorrow:




Prepare yourselves guys.

 

You straight up lied to my digital face.

But seriously, congratulations!

So... was this the announcement...?

 

Yeah, was this the announcement? If it was, I must say, this was, uh, a trip, but it was a fun ride.

 

Well, the announcement is slated for tomorrow. Gene lives in the U.S, and at the point of this post it is not February 16, 2016 for us Americans.

So...

No. :v:

 

That was it.

I was going to let it sit there for a few days, but... dang that story flew and mutated! Once I saw GoNintendo put it up, it was like, "Yeah, no, I can't leave it alone now."

I don't know what Ruby has planned, but he's likely still got a few tricks up his sleeve. I do advise, if anything from this ordeal, is to keep hype (I do love the passion and excitement everyone's shown), but keep it reigned in. Honestly, and speaking as a fan, I fear too much hype would make anything Sega has stored not live up to expectations and then people will be legit disappointed. That just seems more saddening to me than anything, honestly.

But we're going to have fun this year anyway. :v:
