Mario and Sonic to appear in a game together!

After years of waitng, Nintendo and Sega's most well reconized gaming icons: Mario and Sonic, are set up to be seen a Olympic game coming out when the 2008 Beijing Olympics in China start.  Personally I couldn't be happier, I'm a huge Mario and Sonic fan and it's so great to finally see a game with both of them in it.  The game itself will finally decide who is better, and this most likely guarantees a spot for Sonic in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.  I would have liked it if was a platformer Mario and Sonic would be starring in together, but a sports game is great too, now all we have to do is wait.  For more info on the game, go to the GameSpot news page. 

Bad news on Youtube.

Well you know those Sonic Youtube videos I posted every now and then, well they guy who created them all was a guy known as MasenkuuKenny on Youtube, and sadly his account has been suspended.  This sucks hard, that guy made the funniest stuff I've ever seen, hopefully it's just a small suspension not a full blown ban from Youtube, 'cause that guy made me laugh so hard, he was a comic genuis.
