"Sonic & Me: A Sonic fan's life, retold" - Sonic 4 Contest Entry

[SkillsMaster1998]

(crying) I admit I love Sonic!! Thank you DreadKnux Thank You! i know Sonic for years It looks like Mario & Crash Bandicoot will have to be more patience than ever or I could just make them a playdate for Sonic. Sonic means a lot like as much as Mario & Crash. I should bring my old videos I never wanted to be on Youtube! Thanks Again! Keep it up!! (continues crying)

[JohnsParadise]

That was really, really nice.

[chidoricurrent11]

[MJXSonicfangurl]

wow you more sonic fan than me lol i love sonic and i alway will be :)

[shadowlover1996]

I am just like you, but the only difference is that I love Shadow the hedgehog not Sonic and I am a fangirl not a fanboy. I always have my Shadow plushy right by my side. I always talk to him as if he is real. Thanks to you I don't feel weird about having my Shadow plushy around every where I go.

[waltdisney19282008]

[hipershadic176]

[Syeedthehedgehog]

Nice job dude.I can tell you'r a real Sonicfan.You'r one the reasons Sonic keeps going and going good games or bad and you'r one of the reason SEGA made Sonic Colors because people like you are true Sonic fans and you will never leave the Sonic fan base.Congrats.

[Angiewizardhedgehog]

[mairusu1]

[ShadowRave]

This is awesome, very well put together and emotional. A well deserved top 3 entry.

[ZacJackleReala]

Congrats Svend! Cheers mate!

[thebiolizard]

wow that was really touching =) great video dude and congratulations on getting 2nd place in the competition.

[waltdisney19282008]

...and i will make you a host admin who gains admin commands (example: kill/person229) and the power to close the doors to the convention after the ROBLOX version has finished (btw if i finish the place before your convention opens i will PM the new opening date for my version is that ok?

[waltdisney19282008]

your journey has been amazing so far but the best moment is when you made summer of sonic and you gave me an inspiration to create summer of sonic for ROBLOX (a free online game) so if you want to join ROBLOX it would be great the summer of sonic ROBLOX edition will be created for next year and will open 5 days after your convention for those who missed the convention it sounds like a generous idea to me plus if you join PM walle609 (me) telling me that you have joined...

[Corzoko]

D'awwww <3

[807gamer]

Well done xD

[SegaAmerica]

Congratulations!

[SAMWAVE8bit]

Hey dude congrats on becoming 2nd in the sonic contest. This video is pure awesome i was hoping your video would have made it near the top 3 vids :)

Your story/adventure with sonic is truly inspiring.

[905SONICking]

sonic unleashed sonic last adventure

[PBKstudios]

You showed people that it's not the quantity of merchandise that expresses one's support of Sonic, but what one has done with that love. And that is the best thing anyone could do to express their dedication. You not only publicly declared your position as an "avid Sonic fan," but you used that to help others become more aware of Sonic and, in the process, create thousands of new fans the world over. When I read the guidelines for this contest, this was the exact video I was hoping someone w

[ImSonicSeedOfSound1]

AMY ROSE LOL

i hope you gonna win

i can not win this wy? im not from USA OR UK

[kidothekoala]

Nice video, man! Let's just hope that with two of the newest games, 'Sonic 4' and 'Sonic Colors', Sonic, himself can be brought back on top of the video game industry and stop Mario from his reign of terror!

[HIandMGHTY]

hey, to be honest I've been a long time follower of the Sonic Stadium but I've never chosen to interact with the community there on the account that I feel kinda shy and afraid I can't relate as well being a citizen of the US. but anyway, I just wanted to tell you what a nice vid you got here and glad to see that you were able to express what I feel is some true fandom, so great job! I also wanted to say thanks for all you're doin with the sonic fanbase and the Sonic Stadium. and good luck! =]

[minimullen]

This is a great video

you remind me so much of myself when i was little.

To this day i still draw sonic in the sand at beaches.

[Dreadknux]

@minimullen Thanks! I wish I could remember how I managed to find those blue pebbles/rocks for that Sonic beach photo in the video. :] I must have been about 7 years old at the time.

[TheEffectGirl]

Damn Germany!!! why don't you sell awesome sonic chara plushies!!!??? just those stupid mario mushroom plushies -.-

oh yeah great video, it's awesome how you can love something or rather someone with whom you spend your whole life with :) just great made me tear up sometime :')

[Dreadknux]

@TheEffectGirl Thanks for the kind words. ^_^ That Sonic plush is rather symbolic in itself - it's the original 1992 plush that I have had since I was a little boy. It's in pretty good condition for something so old...

[supertailsboom]

@Dreadknux I am a huge sonic fan but i am too young to enter the contest(11).

I've got a plushie just like the one you have except it has smaller pupils and is newer. oh, and it is a classic one.

[ElsonDarkspeedsWong]

Your journey as a Sonic fan has been an amazing one mate, it was insightful to see how it unfolded from the vision of your video. Having you carry Sonic on your back - to me that was symbolic for someone with your history and passion with 'Sonic the Hedgehog'. 'Great things come from small beginnings' - I reckon you highlighted that perfectly with this. Also thanks for crediting me along with the other mates who followed your journey, it has been a real pleasure. Be proud and keep on juicin'!

[Dreadknux]

@ElsonDarkspeedsWong Cheers mate. The friends I have made and the good times that have I have had since starting my website are things that I will cherish forever. I'm surprised it all came out as coherent as it did to be honest - this video was made in 48 hours (over the weekend), two days without any sleep. I've still not recovered. XD

[ElsonDarkspeedsWong]

@Dreadknux - Your most welcome! It was brilliant to see your artistic side (ala - the photos of the blue pebbles and oldschool Dreadknux in Sonicland/Sonicdream!)

Aww mate you got a blue car! Dang! I just got a brand new car last week - Toyota Corolla Ascent Hatchback 2010 model. It was a shame that they didn't have 'Sonic' blue colour. But yeah hope to ride in your car one day - looks awesome (pimpin' in Southend)! And if you ever come over I'll pimp your ride with my car in Perth! XXD = )

[ElsonDarkspeedsWong]

*sniff* I almost shed a tear on this one. First T, and now you mate. = ) I loved how you pieced this together Svend, you kept your narrative creative interesting. It is wonderful to see you utilising your local area - i.e. parks (I've been to that Garden Square in town!), neighbourhood and inside your home when you explained certain points - it feels rustic and homely. You defintely nailed the BGM starter and put me in the mood to listen attentively to your message - loved 'Dear My Friend'. ...

[sonictoast]

dredknux! That was super creaative and made me laugh again and again.

[sonicrocker25]

like i said in the uncut one.

Good luck man. Cuz this is just great!

[HelenBaby]

LOL =D

Its awesome bayb, hope ya win the contest ^^

[FindTheComputerRoom]

Nice to see you got it shorter. Did you get it sent in in time? Cos this video is way past cool.

[Dreadknux]

@FindTheComputerRoom I did, just in the nick of time. :]
