Sonic the Hedgehog
I'm very excited about tomorrow.
After our early morning staff meeting, I'm driving over to my sisters house to spend a few hours playing Sonic 2 with my nephew.
A bit of context perhaps.
On Christmas eve last year Soph and I were still unsure what we would get for my nephew as a present. My sister had said something along the lines of "He's Sonic obsessed at the moment, but we don't want to buy him something like a playstation, because we'll have to keep buying games for it". All of a sudden my mind darted to the bottom of the games cupboard at my parents house, where my trusty Sega Megadrive was sealed in a box. Soph and I pulled it out and dusted it off, uncovering scores of old games - Mortal Kombat (the original) Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe, and NBA live 95 among others. Best of all, it still worked, and there was no way my sister would have to buy new games for it!
My nephew loved it, and Soph and I were suddenly the best present givers of the day. Sweet.
So, as far as I understand tomorrow's couple of hours will be spent mastering "Mystic Cave" (does anyone remember that level!? - I think it had a particularly hard boss). Hopefully my skills will come back quickly enough that I won't be shown up by a 7 year old! It'll be lots of fun, and I'm looking forward to hanging out with this lovely family!

When I had a sega and played many a hour on it, I once got Sonic the Hedgehog for Christmas and completed the whole game by New Year - I think you call that obsessed. I can't remember the last time I played a computer game.
I played the new Sonic on my bro's Wii. Pretty cool. You tilt the gamepad to steer Sonic as he races along.
