A great concept ruined because Nintendo are Nintendo.

No parent is spending £114 on wooden blocks for their 18 month old. All because they decided to make the characters Amiibo figures.

Kanga Clanga Badnik from Sonic Superstars. He is cute and orange, with a lovable blank eyed expression.

Kanga Clanga Badnik, as it appears in a 2.5D prototype Evening Star worked on after Sonic Mania. It is balancing on its tail and kicking forward with its springy roo feet! Sonic is knocked to the left with significant kinetic force.

It is now the 8th anniversary of Mania so time to dig up some Sonic trivia... This year, it's Kanga Clanga! (aka the Kangus). This lovable robo-roo originally lived in the outback but now entertains us all in Pinball Carnival Zone!

London Marathon complete! My entire 2025 has been dominated by this goal, so I’m proud to have finally achieved it. Never thought I’d do something like this.

Of course this is all in support of the charity Mind. I am at 93% of my fundraising goal! 2025tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/kieran-ga...

A unique sketch of Sonic and Shadow that was commissioned, but is now unclaimed and looking for a home! It is drawn on nice A2 230gsm stock.

That’s right yeah, it was commissioned, and I naively trusted they’d donate when it was done, but they just stopped responding after I finished it 🫠

Had to find new shoes again as the Adios Pro 3 was not working out with my feet, but made it the half marathon distance today ✅

Pace suffered half way through thanks to some killer steep hills, but hey ho.

Collapsed on the first grassy patch I found afterwards.

2 Hours done!

This feels like another major milestone reached, would not have believed I’d be going this far 2 months ago.

Thanks! The 3 isn’t the latest model, but I found these cheaper than the brand new 4, and it’s still supposed to be a great marathon distance shoe.

There’s so many options out there built for different purposes, it felt a bit overwhelming trying to choose 😵‍💫
