MORE BORING SEGA-RELATED PHOTOS WE’VE BEEN SENT

Let’s just get all of these out of the way in one batch. Then we can move on. To the next batch.

This is of a Sonic The Hedgehog napkin.

And just in case the first photo wasn’t good enough, the sender sent in an additional second photo. Because the one thing we all really need is a spare photo of some Sonic The Hedgehog napkins.

This is a fake Sonic badge someone found at a craft fair. SEGA’s lawyers need to crack down on this shit, to stop churches funding their roof repairs via illegally produced merchandise.

Someone’s business card. She is called Annie Sega! If you married her, your name would be… oh no, that’s not how it works.

What the sender described as “Sonic boots” but it frankly could be anything.

Sonic endorsing fireworks.

A Sonic car.

Really rubbish SEGA graffiti. “My friend and I saw this on our way home from school the other day. He took the picture on his telephone. I thought it might be evidence of some guerrilla advertising from SEGA! Notice the lack of crotch on sonic and the penis to his right”.

This is a scan of newspaper comic ‘Striker’ that someone’s been sitting on for “four or five” years. It shows a SEGA Saturn advert in the paper the girls are holding. It’s amazing what people see and keep.

And this is an Indesit washing machine manual that features a logo that looks a bit like the Dreamcast swirl. That’s all for today.

SELLING A PS3 IS ACTUALLY AGAINST THE LAW

Thank god for that. This will save us all an awful lot of trouble.

Three cheers for those Brussels bureaucrats!

THE ‘WHAT’S SEGA ABOUT THIS?’ QUIZ

Here’s a photograph. Can you work out what’s SEGA about it? There’s definitely something a bit SEGA about it!

Is it the spires? The car? The blue sky?

No, it’s not this bit.

It’s not this bit.

Nor is it this bit.

Or this.

It’s THIS bit! They sort of copied Sonic and blacked him up a bit to make him their tyre-repairing mascot. How well did you do?

SOMEONE MADE US A THEME TUNE

It’s called ‘Spiel Macht Frei’ and was recorded by ‘Von Aschenbach : Minister of Ideology’. It’s a bit like Marilyn Manson and Rammstein, which isn’t the sort of thing we usually like to say the least.

Still, it’s also only 35 seconds long so isn’t eligible for entry to the singles chart. On the plus side, it’s only 35 seconds long.

You can listen to it if you like [926k MP3]

And we always thought Richard Jacques would do our theme tune :(

A PHOTOGRAPH OF A MAN’S SEGA PENCIL

Words cannot… there’s nothing you can… it’s not possible to express… you simply can’t… no one could ever…

A man's SEGA pencil

He was bored enough to send it. We were bored enough to upload it. You’re bored enough to be looking at it. The sooner AIDS or North Korea or cancer puts us all out of our miseries the better.

A VERY SERIOUS DEBATE ABOUT IF TAILS IS GAY OR NOT

This is why Wikipedia must be destroyed, or at the very least roughed up a bit so it learns a lesson.

If you click on it it’s readable. Not bearable, mind.

JOSH BRANDNER IS AN ARSEHOLE

NOT ONLY has he just paid 639 dollars to pre-order a PlayStation3 and two games BUT HE HAS ALSO attempted to sell it for 8000 dollars on eBay right here.

Worth it just to play Lair

As if Sony wasn’t ripping us off enough to fund its extinction-level Blu-ray disasterplan, the usual insane pre-ordering system means everyone in the world now wants a PS3 – to sell on to someone a bit lower down the stupid chain. And then use the profit to buy a Wii and the entire Wii launch line-up and some trainers and maybe a new TV if you charge a lot for postage.

Hot Geek Chat

It’s also not ideal to stick your phone number on the internet, lest people phone you up because some stupid web site said its readers should phone you up and make laughing sounds down the line.

WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING
We are VERY EXCITED about going to Computer Exchange over Christmas and seeing how much the import PS3 in the window is selling for. Last year’s Xbox 360 was a ludicrous 325 for a Core Pack, and that was officially available here in the UK. We’ll have 1100 quid on Computer Exchange’s American import PS3 being 1100 quid – and there being a six-deep line of tracksuit-wearing, hair-gel-soaked morons staring at it in awe.

PECULIAR SEGA PHOTO OF THE DAY

It’s of Sonic The Hedgehog on stage at a fashion show accompanied by a woman that looks like 80s freakshow entertainer Su Pollard:

He appears to be wearing a huge prosthetic vagina.

Inevitably, there’s now a clip of it happening on YouTube.

“THE GAME IS CALLED DOKIDOKI MAJOSAIBAN WHICH MEANS SOMETHING LIKE EXCITING WITCH TRIAL”

Here’s a link we got sent which is exactly like the kind of link you should be sending us. It’s a DS game in which you grope girls with the stylus. Not just for fun, but as part of the actual game. Like they’re saying it’s OK to do things like this. We hope this hasn’t been all over the internet already, only we’ve been “out of the loop” for a week and are unsure about what’s “new” and what’s “old” right now.

At least photos like this never go out of fashion:

This is the quite coherent and properly spelt comment from the person who mailed it in: “It seems the goal of this game is to examine girls with the touchpen in order to prove if the girl is a witch or not. I’m no expert in witch trials but according to the screenshots working out if someone is a witch seems to mainly involve stripping her off and doing wrong things to her. Also, Japanese witches seem mainly to be school girls. If Trevor wants to do a documentary about videogames being a force for evil, I’d suggest he starts here.”

It would appear a Wii version is also planned, should the DS game successfully expand the rapist game demographic enough to make it financially viable.
