Sonic's 25th Anniversary Party Livestream @ Motobug | 6:00 PM PST

[The Deleter]

Good Morning, SSMB!! We're nearly 2 days away from whatever announcement Aaron has in store for us, and while it's been mentioned in other topics and statuses, I'd like to reconfirm that Motobug will, indeed, be hosting the livestream for the 25th Anniversary Party on the 22nd, marking our first coverage of a large-scale Sonic announcement!!

Whether we come away from the event disappointed or hyped, we've got a lot of stuff planned for next Friday, so it'll be sure to be a fun time for all SSMBers to come together and hang out while it's happening, at the very least. If you have the time and want to experience the event alongside the rest of your fellow SSMB members, come drop by!
 

What is Motobug?

Well, ongoing legal issues with Eggman Enterprises aside, Motobug is the name of an unofficial hub for all of SSMB's streaming shenanigans. It's a channel hosted on Taima/Cytube, and syncs all media (be it youtube, twitch, mp3, or soundcloud) between all users viewing it, as they chat in the channel's own chatbar, participate in polls, or add their own videos to the playlist when open, creating a seamless streaming experience for all to enjoy.

It doesn't take anything to participate, either -- type in your guestname in the chat, and you'll have access to all the features the channel has to offer, no account registration required!
 

Additional Events

The 25th party livestream isn't the only thing happening on Motobug come Friday, though -- leading up to the party, there are several other Sonic-based events that are scheduled for the channel:

SSMB's Movie Nights presents: Sonic OVA

With a Sonic-themed music-request preshow and bridging the gap between Sonic Xstream and FriPM, Sonic OVA will be up on Motobug for the recently revived SSMB Movie Nights, airing at 2:00 PM PST for your viewing pleasure!

Sonic FriPM

Fresh off the success of the Sonic Xstream, comes the debut of FriPM, a SatAM stream containing the first 3 episodes of the series this week, airing at 3:46 PM PST or later!

Add in any preshow shenanigans and hype that comes before the livestream itself, and you've got a day full of nonstop entertainment! If you've got time to kill before the party, be sure to stop by for any of these events!

See you there, SSMB!

[Riverstone]

Thanks for this!! You guys have really put a lot of effort in!

Going to feel great being connected to everyone while watching the motobug stream in anticipation for the 25th anniversary party! 

The Sonic community is truly a great thing. We dont always see eye to eye, but that's how families work  

[Jango]

OH YEAH! This is happening (finally!) The E3 stream was a heck of a ride, laughed so hard with you guys, hope to laugh even harder on friday!

Count me in!

[PickleBrows]

I'm still debating about whether I'll be trying to stay up for the party or not since it's starting so late over here.

Mind you, it's a fairly special time for Sonic fans so of course I want to be around for it. Worst case scenario I'll be around for the OVA at least!

[Daisy-Fan]

friday night i will probably not be there. But i will sure check the stream.

[Mania Pipe]

Well, I'm not really doing anything on Friday (as long as nothing comes up). So, I might as well join in on the fun.

[Indigo Rush]

I requested off for this.

[TCB]

I think I can make...an hour for this

 

 

 

[FriendBot]

I'm really hoping I'll be there for the whole thing, this is gonna be an event I will refuse to miss!

I will not be that guy that misses important Sonic announcements, that's @Ferno

[Ryannumber1gamer]

Will definitely be there for the Musical Pre-Show/OVA/FriPM (well duh since I'm hosting those events ) but I'll likely only be around for an hour or two of the stream, considering it'll be on til 6am in the UK.

Sonic Underground is pretty much bad fanfiction anyway, just like Sonic 06.

K, there were a bit of confusions with runtimes (and I made a mistake with the time zones again, augh) but the schedule should all be in order now.

Sorry about any confusion this might have caused, guys. Hope it doesn't cause too much of a hassle for you all... :\

[ImPantsAtThis]

Do you mean BST (GMT+1) rather than GMT for the times?
See https://www.google.co.uk/?ion=1&espv=2#q=6pm pst to bst

[The Deleter]

I honestly have no idea. Been working like mad on this, so I'm too flustered to focus on it.

Btw, the stream is going down in less than 20 mins! Currently we're watching the previous announcement trailers of the Sonic series to build up the hype!

The time is now! Drop everything you're doing and get in here!!!
