WARNING: SONIC ADVENT CALENDARS IN CIRCULATION
Don’t be fooled by the pretty colours. There’ll be something bitter and disappointing behind each window, getting more bitter and more disappointing the further you progress, if recent Sonic game history is anything to go on.
Incredibly, two separate “Adam” readers sent in a photo of their Sonic advent calendars within 24 hours of each other. Maybe our next t-shirt design ought to just say “ADAM” on it?
“A freebie given to me by a local game shop. Whether or not the chocolates are edible is another question. Feel free to post this photo up. And have a great Xmas this year :)” – Adam.
“Instant update material. Two-updates-in-one-day justification. This mint condition SONIC CHRISTMAS ADVENT CALENDAR came in a protected cardboard box with review copies of Sonic Unleashed today. I won’t be opening any of the doors but instead keeping it sealed away safely forever and making sure no fingerprints spoil it” – Adam Doree.
PHOTO JUDGING PANEL
Adam 1 showed superb use of a material that resembles the Master System game box background grid to add atmosphere to the shot. Although Adam 2’s image was supplied at a much higher resolution, he could’ve angled the calendar better to reduce flash reflection – and we can’t help but wonder what category of pornography he’s downloading via BitComet, which detracts from the calendar. RESULT: Adam 1 wins.

A thirteen is printed directly on the more evil than ever looking character’s forehead, foreshadowing the many foul thing to come.
Then again chocolate is the poor man’s heroin and I’d take it regardless.

I think the best way to describe Sonic’s little Christmas jacket is “snazzy”.

And Adam 1 gives us an accurate product scale, assuming those lines are 5mm apart.

But you could have hours of fun working out the make/model of Adam 2’s monitor from its button configuration. Doree’s been ROBBED.

Sonic has definatly become evil since going over to Sony. Just compare his Sega era expressions with this new Sony abomination.
I think it’s pretty obvious to everyone that this Sonic is taking presents and not delivering them. I bet if you were to open his sack you’d find lots of xbox 360s and wee wees.

Is anyone else blindly optimistic like me and thinks Unleashed is going to be good?
November 27th, 2008 on 3:09 pm
Doree’s a wanker. If I had one of those I’d lovingly USE IT AS INTENDED AND NOT JUST PUT IT IN A BOX AND FEEL SMUG ABOUT OWNING IT.

Open the lid and slide the plastic chocolate tray out the top/bottom. everyone wins.

Show me a Christmas Nights advent calender, then I’ll be impressed…

you could make an update a day until all the doors are open.

If anyone wants one of their own, they can get one on ebay for the incredible price of £9.99. And postage is free!

I think Adam 2 loses points for shamelessly including Kikizo in the background for free publicity and then failing to keep the site’s title in frame. If anyone needs a link, here you go: Kikizo

I like to think there is a gold ring behind each door, making you invincible for most of December. Until the 25th, from which you turn into a manic, vulnerable shell of a hedgehog scampering around searching for the fragments of your previous courage and might.

doesn’t the coat hurt sonics back spikes, or has he pushed them all up?
and do you think maybe cream is in the sack?

No surprise the game is a steaming pile of wank (yes, I have played it, and yes, I was hoping that GamesTM was right, and it was a ‘return to form’)
Maybe lay off LBP now, although the blind SEGA love on here will never allow that, stick it next to the new Golden Axe in the bargain bin…

Adam 1’s picture was taken over a bedsheet that he bought in Ikea! I know because I have that bed sheet :D
