So today's Sonic's 18th birthday - 18 years since Sonic 1 made its worldwide premiere. Let's hope that his awkward puberty years are over and he'll get a proper career instead of filling odd jobs all over the place.

Of course, it's also Robotnik's birthday (not Eggman's; today's the celebration of the US version's release, not the Japanese one). So, props to him, too.

Rumors that Sonic made a movie for "Just Turned 18" are currently unsubstantiated.

Hell, let's break out some cigars.

To Sonic! May the next eighteen years be wonderful (or at least not as embarrassing as the last eighteen years)!

God, I hope not.

He wasn't embarassing for the whole 18 years. He was just confused and screwed up for 14 of those years.

I haven't seen any visible signs of rehab, so I'm hoping for an early death and possible reincarnation.

It was his birthday yesterday (the 23rd). ^_^

Was I the only one expecting this to be about a Sonic/Ace Attorney crossover when I clicked this thread?

Most likely.

And Sonic won't be completely legal until 2012.

Happy Birthday, Smile!

Here in Germany, 14+ is already legal.

Eww, that's just sick. Here in Sweden, kids have to wait until they're 15 to get their rocks off. Before that, they just have to stay content with porno mags, which can legally be bought by children of any age. So when a daddy sends his 7-year old daughter to the store to get some milk, she can just pick up the newest issue Shaved Asian Teens for him at the same time! Everybody wins!

Why is everyone on the internet all 'LOL HES 18 SEXUAL' ?

Sonic is 15.

Also celebrating the 'birthday' of a game when it was created prior and just released in retail on that day is gay+++.

Well, here you aren't officially allowed to look at porn until you're 18 years old. You can reenact porn with 14, but you're not permitted to look at others doing the same things! Makes perfect sense, doesn't it!

Bu-but Sonic Team does it. :^<

I have to admit, it would be adorable if they used the stick figure design of Sonic in a game. :3

They really weren't kidding when they said Sonic eats rings.

If by chance you were referring to me, when I went through Ngangbius's post, where I found "screwed up" I basically just read as "drugs", hence the rehab remark. For better or for worse, June 23rd has been permanently etched on my brain since 2001.

Look at him. He isn't even trying to look happy. He knows he's screwed, and he's never getting rid of his troubles unless they die or he dies. He's looking at that hole in the cake and seeing himself, an empty, vacant void, who's probably going to get struck with a knife several times and yet will feel nothing at all. He knows he either has no future or he'll be reinvented again, with even longer legs and spines, an even more anorexic stomach and a gaudier art style that doesn't know if it's supposed to be stylized or just outlined with weird gradients which don't even remotely make sense and pretty much became old as soon as they were reused.

And his shoes don't have his name anymore. :(

EDIT: Oh. OH. Now I realised what big_smile meant. The topic was only started on the 24th.

SON OF EDIT: Well I guess it was still the 23rd in Pennsylvania at the time.

I'm a bit more pessimistic...

I think Sonic will fail to make the payments on his summer home in Tiajuanna, causing him to lose most of his money. He'll turn to drugs, alcohol, and loose women to ease the pain of his now-stagnant career. After one particularly hard night of boozing and snorting cocaine, he'll awaken the next morning in a Skid Row YMCA, where a kindly vagrant will help him find Jesus. Spiritually rejuvenated, he'll give a series of lectures across America's junior high schools, along with Crash Bandicoot and Bubsy Bobcat, about the dangers of reckless living. Nevertheless, he'll now be at least 50 pounds overweight, balding, and most likely will have Hepatitus B. He'll die alone and afraid at the age of 53.

I'm talking about those 18 years as a whole.

So, Has anyone found the fancomic someone made about Amy saying to Sonic that since he is 18, he can marry her now?

I think the more important question is "does anyone give a shit about said comic".

By this logic, Amy (and Metal Sonic) is perpetually 2 years, 3 months younger than Sonic. So, until she's 18, no.

By Americans standards, she is old enough, at least in some states...

Being those that don't see pedophilia as a crime of some sort.

In other words, NOT by normal American standards.

16 is the legal age here in un-American Michigan.
