Main Page

We are having a bit of an inspiration drought here at MobianLegends, so we were thinking on letting YOU, the visitors tell us what you think we should do next... should we be adding more information on the comics, cartoons, games, or other stuff?

Well, the past six months have been extremely eventful.. we've moved to our own dedicated server, hosted by Montreal-based iweb.ca.  I'll list all the major updates below:

• In November of 2009, we also gained permission to continue the old Geocities StarFox mature fansite, Queer as Lylat.  It has been backed up and moved to qal.mobianlegends.com, with the permission and assistance of the former owner.  QaL is a mature StarFox erotic fanfiction archive.
• We have also added a full-blown StarFox website, Lylat Central).
• Our Blog has been merged into The Mobian Free Press, and has been given a new theme.  This is partially due to the impending shutdown of FTP support for Blogger by Google.
• We've also been able to add two more audio streams, thanks to WHMSonic.  Our classic rock segment has been spun off into its own station, CFWO-FM, while our video game music has remained on VOM-FM.  See the Radio Section for more information.
• Our radio stations have been given Sony PlayStation Portable support as well.
• MobianLegends and Lylat Central now support (OpenID.
• We are in the process of starting up an internet television station, called VOM-DT: Furry Television.  More information can be found on the station page.
• Related to VOM-DT, we have also gained permission to air episodes from the fan cartoon StarFox: The Animated Series, by Frederyk Phox.
• Among the biggest news-makers so far is that we've created a hosting account for the Max Payne 2 mod "StarFox: Paths of Fate", should they need the space on our website, designated at http://pof.lylatcentral.com.
  

It has come to my attention that some smart-ass thought he'd be funny by nominating us for July 2009's Worst of the Web Award.  Guess what, retard? you're NOT funny! It also backfired because two of the three reviewers actually said GOOD things about the website!  Only Chip (the third reviewer) had anything rude to say, and his comments were more dumb than practical, and the others simply commented on what people in the SHOUTBOX said.  They even recommend that "winners" (trust me, there are none) place their little award on their website.   I'd love to see YOU guys do better!  Put up, or shut up!  I'm not giving them any additional publicity than what goes in this news column.  What morons!  Other people (such as http://www.ganymede.tv/forum/2009/07/sonic-level-maps ) seem to LOVE the website...

Just to drive the point home and make sure absolutely NO ONE is confused by the matter... this website is a WORK IN PROGRESS.  It's nowhere near done yet.  It took other websites months and years to grow to their current sizes.  Were SonicHQ, CNN, and Yahoo instantly that size? NO! they started out small and grew gradually!  So, before poo-pooing everything, stay realistic.

Well, it's not every day that we are graced with the presence of one of the creators of the Sonic the Hedgehog video games or cartoons, but it DOES happen from time to time!  I was able to have a brief interview with Mike Pollock in #Sagexpo on irc.rizon.net during a time in which several fans were given turns to ask one or two short questions each, with the special assistance of Gerbilsoft, Cy-Fox, Slingerland and BlazeHedgehog.

[22:15:16] <+RingtailedFox> good evening, Mr. Pollock!  I'm RingtailedFox of mobianlegends.com... my question is "how did you land the job as a voice actor for Sega and 4kids Animation"?
[22:15:26] <@Slingerland> hahahaha, yes, Mike
[22:15:53] <+itsamike> Thank you very much. Here's the story, RingtailedFox....
[22:17:04] <+itsamike> Back in 2000 or so I answered a classified ad in Backstage, the Theatre Newspaper. It was a vague Blind Box ad for an anime dubbing gig. I send it my demo reel and booked a guest shot on what turned out to be Pokémon....
[22:17:37] <+RingtailedFox> nice. no agent required, i take it?
[22:18:20] <+itsamike> No agent for that, no, It was direct.
[22:19:10] <+itsamike> Sonic was produced by the same team that produced the Kirby anime, and they worked really hard to convince Sega to cast me, through a very long audition process.
[22:19:59] <+RingtailedFox> i can only imagine it was a fun experience for ya
[22:20:21] <+itsamike> Confusing and exhausting, but also fun.
[22:20:47] * +RingtailedFox nods

After this, it was someone else's turn to ask a question.

Mike has shown that you can be a successful creator of the Sonic fandom and still be in touch with fans.

MobianLegends.com needs YOUR help and contributions to the website!  We need character profiles and location data (on the wiki), video game reviews and synopses, and comic book reviews and synopses (archie, fleetway, whatever!)... They can be emailed to the admin at admin@mobianlegends.com, as well.
