earlyer then planned - Posted on 9:39 AM CET Wednesday 09 Dec 2009 In TESP News

TESP News icon A Bit earlyer then planned, but another Craft bit has been added. the Christmas Tree Topper - CheckBoard Edition.

What is the CheckBoard Edition? Well.. the Topper as released had a bit bar bit on the bottom with a slight rise to the feet. However, on the Cover of STC #14 (which it came with, remember?) the image was a fancy background with the topper (which the real one sat ontop of it) but it was different. The difference that mattered? instead of the Blue bar, it was a Checkboard (GreenHill) design yet this wasn't what was released. So, what i have done is put up this second version of the Topper with the Checkboard pattern so you have a choice of the two now!

Why this checkboard design on the cover? well.. one of two reasons really. Either it was the oringal design which might have been changed to lower printing costs (yes, back in 1993 (as sometimes today) if there were two less colours, it was cheaper for this kind of printing) or some other reason, OR the second reason might have been they thought it looked better for the cover. Since the inside instructions don't show any colour or design on that bottom bit, it's a little tricky to tell which. Either way, doesn't matter if it was never made to be released, here is a version! See it in the Crafts Section. I should have some more crafts up soon.. maybe later today..

EDIT: Added the Green Hill Zone Paper Craft model from the Sonic Channel Official Website.

TESP News icon Well.. Well.. The Badnik information has been updated to feature the Japanese name (in both Kanji and romaniziced version.. note, i might have the odd symbol wrong, but i was a bit surprised how some symbols translated when i knew they were the right symbol.. ( ƒo is a Ba yet a number of people seam to say it's Va .. odd but all my langage sheets say Ba, and so does the character map).

Of course, if you don't have a japanese character set install (you should have) or there is a bit of a problem with your browsers text encoding then you might not see the japanese characters right. But that's only really a small problem.

So far, they are only up for Sonic 1, Sonic 2, some of Sonic 3 and some of Sonic & Knuckles. Shame some of the Manuals don't have full infomation for all the badniks.. that's going to be the main problem.

Oh and i hope to have a new badnik bit up soon to rival the boss guide bit.. I'm already get trivia together for the badniks.. Of course, you guys know what Sonic 1 Badnik is named after the german Fieseler Fi 103 Right?
if not, you will have to wait..

Is that all? NO! Not by a long shot. If you go to the 'Fun' menu you will now see 'Arts & Crafts' section. This is where we will put fun little arts and crafts relating to Sonic and friends. So far? Well, today i add something which has taken alot of work.. a Sonic the Hedgehog Christmas Tree Topper! This was first given out in STC issue 14. I could never get mine on my Tree, so i had a little tree i had it on, and ever since 1993 (when it came out) it was sitting on that tree every year until, sadly, a few years back i think my parents decided to be a bit stupid and get rid of the old little tree for no reason so now it doesn't have a home (though i did get it on my tree one year since then (last year i had a plushie garfield.. that was a big job to get it to sit there (Note, use string and attach it more to the wall and ceiling))).. where was i?

Oh, right.. for a long time, i have been wanting to scan it in but never got around to it. Well, i finally got round to it and kinda wish i hadn't.. it was a major job.. Basiclly, i had to strip the whole thing down to it's lines and clean them up, recolour, restore, go though a bit of paper getting it so i'll line up for double sided printing, scanning and do a bit of a clean up job on the intructions from Issue 14, and anyway.. It's out now! You can download this, print on card (or print two pages on paper and stick to card, what ever), cut it out and have it on top of your tree ^_^

There might be another version of this coming out soon, but either way, it's a nice little christmas update huh? i hope to have more and more arts and crafts stuff to come in the future.

Well now.. Enjoy all of that!
Chess Set.. Yep! Delayed - Posted on 9:56 AM CET Tuesday 08 Dec 2009 In Sonic News

Sonic News icon Wow-o-wow! What a great surprise, the Sonic the Hedgehog Chess Set has been delayed until the 20th of December 2009. Lets see now.. odds on it coming out by the end of this year.. lets say... 5 to 1? againt that is (I always do the odds againt-for)
Sonic Statue update - Posted on 10:14 PM CET Monday 07 Dec 2009 In Sonic News
Manic Man
Sonic News icon Small bit of news but the great Sonic Statue by First4Figures (yes, the one limited to 1500) is now out of stock in Australia and the EU (though some stockists that bought it might have a few in stock) and the North & South america ones are running into low numbers so pick up yours if you can and haven't so far. It would be nice if they would say about the next one (I'll give you 2 to 1 odds that it is Tails, 3 to 1 on Robotnik, 4 to 1 on Knuckles and.. oooh.. 10 to 1 on Amy Rose).

Oh and tomorrow, i'll post on the status of the chess set.. it's time for it's release (again) and i will give you 2 to 1 odds that it is going to be delayed.. boy, i seam in a better mood.. though i will say that i don't bet with money or anything.. just 'game' beting like with fake money and stuff.. Gambling can be easyly taken too far and lead to bad things.. this has been a public service annoucement (shouldn't i get paid for giving them?)

TESP News icon This took a fair bit of time but i now have the full score from SegaSonic the Arcade ^_^

Ripped by myself, you can really tell the limit staff the game had due to that fact that music was often repeated for different levels. I hope you guys enjoy it, i should have something else coming soon as a Beta (cause there might be a couple of small bugs).. look out for that!

TESP News icon Well.. things are a little busy it seams.. or atlest, a little busy when it comes to time to site down and do a fair bit of scanning and stuff so.. well.. the comics wasn't something i said would be weekly ^_^ but i'll be working on them when i can... might be better if i had a bigger scanner.. i wonder..

Anyway.. Today, something pretty small. I have the UK teaser Printed Advert added to the site. Find it in the Articles section OR, i have not fixed a small problem with the articles display in the game information so you can find it in the Sonic 3 game info too now.. Boy, I think i should see if i can streamline some of the php sometime.. using it is GREAT cause i cuts down on alot of work (and seams to help with load times too) but anyway.. Back to work.. i got a little project which should turn out pretty good..

TESP News icon I fixed the zip file for 'hero of the Year' short animation.. i guess when i checked all the files for damage, i not only missed some, but ones like this had a problem.. the zip says it's fine until you try to extract.. i better test some of the others too.

TESP News icon I don't know the full story here but i have added some information on Semic AS's Sonic comic from Norway... Now let me try to explain what i know..

Semic was a company that dealt with alot of different countrys around the area of europe that norway and sweden is in. Semic Press AB did Swedish translation prints of the Archie Comics 'Sonic the Hedgehog' comic. Semic AS did Norway prints of the Archie Comics. That should be pretty much it.. Anyway.. like with most smaller prints like this, i don't have a whole lot of info right now.. but enjoy it anyway ^_^

TESP News icon Today, i bring you the Sonic story for STC issue 2! The Story RoboFox! Now.. the story pretty much follows on from the last one in a way.. Though it has created a small problem for my timeline ^_^;. erm.. forget i said that.. that project has a ALONG way to go before it's ready..

Anyway.. I also noticed that for some reason, i wasn't putting the PDFs in the Download Archive.. So now you can download both issue 1 and issue 2 in the download archive, as well as via the comic information for that issue, or the related downloads for that company.. whew.. that's alot of places.. well.. 3.. oh well.. Enjoy! It's time for me to go back to a number of intresting projects i got on hand.. shame i think a few of them are going to turn out as impossible.. but oh well
