... will be Wednesday, 8:00PM EST, October 4, 2000. I'll be online for at least an hour, staying longer if it's anything like it was last time.

To avoid confusion and give everyone a chance to get their questions answered, I may ask everyone to refrain from chatting with others during the session. I only say this because many people were having trouble keeping up with the flow of the conversation as a result of the extra chatter.

Please keep in mind that anything connected with this website is a work in progress, and while Bob and I do work hard to try to improve things overall, we're not quite there yet. We ask for your patience and consideration to others. Thanks.

There you have it. I'll be there - what about you?

If you still don't own a copy of Sonic Adventure, you can get one for 20 bucks from Mplayer.com as a special offer to its members. I'm not sure if you have to be a member or not, but it's there and only $20 (US dollars) from the List Price of $57.99! Here's the URL:

That's what the biggest rumor to come down the pike in ages is saying. This comes from SegaWeb...

Holy just so wacky it might be true, Batman! A rumor has surfaced indicating Sega is teaming up with none other than Nintendo to create a new cross-platform game. Featuring characters like Sonic, Mario, Link, Virtua Fighter Kids, and more in an RPG-style outing, the game will see release on both the Dreamcast and GameCube. The game (tentatively titled "Sega and Nintendo: The Cosmo Cube") is supposed to be officially announced in November. Ah, so that's when Hell is going to freeze over. Thanks to The Magic Box for the scoop.

Remember folks, and take THIS to heart; THIS IS IS JUST A RUMOR! It may or may not be true, but it's certainly very intriguing, is it not.....

With a little hunting around with help from Sonique, I've found the address so all you SatAM fans can also email Teletoon Canada. (the Canadian equivelant of the Cartoon Network) These guys air Sonic Underground and many other "niche" shows, so there is a possibility of them airing SatAM. Without furthur ado, here's the address:

BCE Place
181 Bay Street
P. O. Box 787
Toronto, Ontario
M5J 2T3

Increadible news for SatAM fans. We heard DiC was bought, well it was DiC who bought their independence. YOU MUST WRITE LETTERS TO CARTOON NETWORK NOW! Cartoon Network would be the best because they adopt series and above all they listen to their fans. They listened to the Sailor Moon petition so the SatAM petition could work. Okay, here's what to do. Here's what WB said:

Write to CartoonNetwork AND Dic. For CartoonNetwork you need to give them reasons as to why this series is so good and show them how many people are behind it. For Dic you need to convince them the benfits of airing it again, new episode possibilities (think of interest in Sonic Adventure 2, study demographics) and why Cartoon network would be a good place

DO NOT ASK FOR NEW EPISODES YET!! That will come in time and I'll keep everyone posted. Here's the addy to cartoon Network:

Cartoon Network
1050 Techwood Drive
Atlanta, GA 30318

And for DiC:

DiC Entertainment

Two new games have been added to Sega's All Stars program. Capcom has announced that both Power Stone and Marvel vs. Capcom will now be repackaged and sold for a measly $19.95. Woo-hoo! Now you have absolutely no excuse for never having played these games. Check out our review archive for the scoop on both of them and then get off your butt and go buy 'em already! Sheesh!

Good news for Dreamcast fans.

For those of you who know, I recently sent out the SatAM Petition to quite a lot of compainies. Here's the bad news from ABC:

Thank you for your submission to American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. However, worthwhile, we cannot assume any obligation for ideas contained in your unsolicited submission. In an effort to avoid misunderstandings over the orginazaion or story ideas, it is our policy not to accept or review any ideas, suggestions or creative matericals not solicited by us.

As a nation orginization, we recieve a great number of program suggestions, many of which have similar plots, story lines, formats, and/or ideas to those created internally and/or already incorportated in other programs .(not a misprint, that's how it was written)

Accordingly, enclosed please find your unexamined submission. We thank you for your interest and wish you all the best in your pursuits.

Sincerely

Some ABC Jerk....
Anyway, if they'd payed attention, they'd see I was more so asking for them to rerun the series, rather than make a new one. Then, eventually, maybe a new series or season. Anyway, this is gonna be harder than I thought, but hell if I give up. I will not give up and just hope others are writing letters and having more luck. If Ben Hurst is right, the new president of ABC doesn't give a damn about ABC, so I suggest writing elsewhere.

Good evening friends, Tristan here. In today's report, Peter Moore testifies before Congress, a Genesis/Sega CD hybrid called the WonderMega hits EBay, and something that has hit home for all of us here at Sonic HQ brings a wonderful turn of events.

For those who ordered the Sonic Adventure wallscrolls when they "came out" last month, you may have noticed that Express.com never got the wallscrolls on time. Well, I got an e-mail the other day from them, and all Sonic Adventure wallscrolls are ready for shipping!

Okay, so you people will stop emailing me, I asked for Sonicpandemonium account to be removed because everything is now at Shadow of Light. A few hoax pages may be missing, and I'm sorry as I wasn't aware that they all weren't on SOL. You can resend them to Trez if you wish. But that's it, it's done, no more emails.

BTW, we still have a lot of uncut SatAM episodes for those looking.
