And lo from the Sonic fan base there emerged an old timer who despaired at the lack of Blognik posts as well as his unemployment - if only there was some way of fixing both these banes at once?

He could work for SEGA! That'd be handy...

ArchangelUK is the webmaster of Sonic fan site Sonic Wrecks and podcast Radio Redux, brought in to aid you in all things Sonic. As such he's kept his internet alias as opposed to his real name, as he finds it at least 45.212% cooler.

The new Sonic City is under his terrible and frightening dictatorship as are all Sonic games from here on in, which he's rather excited about considering his background. That's not forgetting any other SEGA Superstars, Nintendo and other licensed games - yikes he's going to be busy.

ArchangelUK (or AAUK for short) comes from a place far, far away where people still point at the sun and scream in terror and don't lock their doors at night. Mainly as the locks have been stolen along with the walls, ceilings and floors. And the cat. He's been working for SEGA in an unofficial/official context since March 2007 but was finally rubber stamped (which stung somewhat) at the end of November 07.

He used to work in a music shop for seven years so his taste is rather mixed and as he lives down south he supports Manchester United - naturally. He also doesn't like sweetcorn, string beans, drink tea or coffee and looks suspiciously like a grey echidna.

Fun Facts:

#13.1c: AAUK's eyes are of such a mix of colours most everyone has a different opinion of their colour.

#14/2a: One of AAUK's life goals is to get a turkey in 10 pin bowling.

#15: AAUK does not like sweetcorn.

#18/3: AAUK thinks Tikal is the Sonic character with the most untapped potential.

#20.124: AAUK once punched King BoomBoo on the nose and called him a sissy.

#47-1: AAUK owns over 3/4 of the merchandise in SEGAAUK HQ's museum display.

#50: ArchangelUK wishes people would stop typing his name ArchAngelUK.

Named after legendary Jamaican Sambaist Clayton “Justice” Long and popularised on the Samba circuit by Francois Dumac, the pose is a middle level pose with the arms fully outstretched perfectly perpendicular to the body with maracas held downwards with the heads pointing towards the floor mimicking the scales of Justice.  The image on the right […]

While we were filming the Samba TV commercial, we managed to capture some footage of our samba girls having some Samba De Amigo fun themselves. (SEGA, not the community team, we’d get in trouble with our other halves if we did.)
Considering this was at the end of a 12 hour day in which these girls […]

The move conjures up serenity and tranquillity which makes it even more surprising that it was crafted during the worst times of revolutionary France by the Marques D’Arpie.  Rumour has it the Marques, on a trip to the Calais coast became fascinated with a seagull that was constantly sitting on the roof of his personal […]

Standing for “Beat Attack” though more commonly throughout samba circles as simply “Both Above” you should pity the fool who fails this most basic, yet at the same time most effective of samba poses.
On the command of pose the contestant is required to stand as stated in the Pan-global Samba Rules & Guidebook: “In a […]

The sport of Samba has a rich and glorious history - so much so that it transcends most of modern and ancient history. For instance we know that amongst the tobacco and turkeys sent back by Sir Walter Raleigh was a case of native american maracas, and that Genghis Khan was a key inovator of the […]

Yup, we’re back from the lakes and I’m pleased to report that no one has been mislayed or lost, though some people were clearly dead this morning judging from their eyes. Seriously.  No severe injuries have been reported either although many of us are suffering from very sore backs, shoulders and several are nursing some […]

It’s, let’s see here… er, 00:53 on July 24th and myself Jimmy, Martin et al are off tomorrow - I mean this morning, for the SEGA conference.  This consists of a bit of a “how we’re doing” session followed by a team building session followed by a very strenuous attempt to get a hangover for the next […]
