Sonic the Hedgehog‘s 19th birthday is today. Who would have imagined such a thing? You’d think the poor guy would be shot to death rather than cruelly kept alive for so long, but he’s still kicking, with two games coming this year that actually look good. Who knew?

Sega is celebrating with a whole list of big deals. Wetold you about them yesterday, but here’s a quick reminder:

Frankly, a few of these “deals” bring the prices down to how much the gamesshouldcost (I’m looking at you,Golden Axe!) but since it’s Sonic’s birthday, I won’t spoil the party by wearing my cynical game blogger hat.

Speaking of which, happy birthday to Sega’s little blue whore. May you spend this day free of the coke that has ruined your brain, and the booze that has comforted your pain over the past ten years. May all the brightly colored furry friends that have ruined your reputation die in some horrendous kidney-based accident, and maySonic 4be the big comeback special you deserve. Or something.
