THE IS HE/ISN’T HE DISABLED GOOGLE VIDEO QUIZ

Why does everyone with a Google Video game show look disabled? Do they get extra benefits from the government for doing this?

Don’t complain. Even if he is, it’s OK to laugh at disabled people again thanks to Ricky Gervais. Possibly disabled video game show man.

THE TOMB RAIDER MODEL HAS AGED BADLY

This is what four months of being pawed and abused by cretins like us can do to a woman:

Chewed up and spat out

They’re making her do her own hair now the budget’s been spent. We’re officially downgrading her from a Category A ‘immediately marry’ to a Category C ‘would let put it in mouth’.

BUYING OUR NEW T-SHIRT MAKES YOU FREE, IN SOME WAY, PROBABLY

We’ve made a new kind of t-shirt. This one’s red and says “Spiel Macht Frei” on it, which is German for something and sort of accidentally stuck as our logo because we couldn’t think of anything better in English to change it to.

Then it says “UK:Resistance – Not making a difference since 1996” underneath, which is something new we just thought up, seeing as we’ve been doing this for 10 years now.

We got a whole box of them:

You can buy them from our shop. They come in medium, large and extra fat, are red like we said and quite nice.

This is a photo of them taken with the flash. It gives you a better idea of the colour, which is a nice dark red. Not that horrible bright cheap red. Oh no.

Also, to show how much we love throwing money away, we got ten made in a girls size – for girls.

We made this girl ourselves out of a pineapple, a chair and some socks. She’ll keep us company for the winter, then we can eat her in the spring as long as she hasn’t gone rotten.

This is what the logo looks like in close-up. It’s screen-printed so it will last and looks very nice. We used macro mode to take this photo. It’s always a pleasure to work in macro mode!

We couldn’t use the Sonic logo, as that would make SEGA angry with us and we might stop getting sent free games and stickers. Which, to be honest, is the only reason we carry on with this tedious charade any more.

This is a close-up of the neck. If you’re anything like us you might be a bit ‘fussy’ about what the necks are like on your t-shirts. This has a nice neck. We went to the factory before we placed the order and looked specifically for a t-shirt with a nice neck.

They’re sixteen British pounds, which includes packaging, the new really expensive postage that makes big light things (ie, t-shirts) cost twice as much to send out as before, and us writing out envelopes and taking them to the post office which is amazingly tedious and always makes us wish we’d never bloody bothered doing it at all. Get them here, or don’t, then post about how they suck and you hate them in the Comments field and that that you hate red and that we should’ve done a green one with Tails on instead – THEN you might’ve bought one.

PSP LIE WATCH: A REMINDER ABOUT ‘GRAN TURISMO 4 MOBILE EDITION’

Has it come out yet? Is it exactly like the PS2 version? Or is Polyphony Digital, the least-efficient development team in the world, struggling to make anything look half-decent on the obsolete handheld Lumines machine?

PSP Gran Turismo 4 - Just a big lie

This lie was sent out to fool idiots into buying PSP back in May of 2004. It’s now August of 2006. August 30 in fact, so actually more like September.

UMD - Just a big joke

Well done, Sony. You made a pretend disc. This actually fooled some people for about a year! Fortunately we now know you just make stuff up and lie about things all the time, so we (the internet and therefore everyone in the world) won’t be falling for it again. This isn’t 1996 any more. You can’t expect to lie to people and for no one to notice. Everything is recorded in Google.

An empty box - Just an empty box

And well done again for making a pretend box. Now you just need to make something interesting to put in it, as with PSP and PlayStation3 in general.

A big lie

The amazing detail on the pretend box, where Sony cleverly preempted what everyone would say and then said it first. This, thinking about it, was the precise moment Sony started thinking that lying to people would work as its new strategy.

NINTENDO’S SEX TOY SHAME

Here’s an email we got about Nintendo giving away sex aids to children. If only all our emails were this imaginative, this much about sex, and this free of typos, instead of from angry retro gamers and weirdos who think we’re serious about wanting to rape Cream’s bottom:

“In case you weren’t aware yet, McDonalds in America has made a deal with Nintendo to make six Nintendo-themed toys for their Happy Meals, asking kids to “Take The Mario Challenge” (whatever the fuck that means). However, it would appear to anyone clever enough to see through Nintendo’s paper-thin disguise that the “toys” are actually sex aids for the kids’ parents and “Take The Mario Challenge” translates directly to “Let Mario And His Friends Help You Jizz All Over Your C&A Jogging Bottoms”.

“Please find enclosed photos of the three most dubious items.”

A Mario 'ball'

“A Mario ‘ball’, clearly small enough to be inserted into the anus for
homosexual male stimulation.”

A Yoshi 'lickout machine'

“A Yoshi ‘lickout machine’ (with another free anal ball), which allows you to have everyone’s favourite dinosaur give your lady friend a cheeky gobble, with his upper snout clearly used to agitate the clitoris.

A Yoshi 'wank mate'

“A Yoshi ‘wank mate’, designed to wrap firmly (yet gently) around the shaft of the penis, allowing you to pretend you’re getting chugged off by a stupid wee green bastard with a squeaky voice.

“I hope you will all join me in “Taking The Mario Challenge” by grabbing a hold of young Yoshi and giving the old boy a jolly sound thrashing.”

PS3 TO SAVE THE WORLD

Like fuck it will! But desperate Sony PR minions are keen to get some positive stories into the media to quell the growing anti-Sony feeling (which hasn’t all been down to us this time round either). Everyone now seems to realise it’s great to hate Sony! We paved the way of course and now people are starting to cotton on. Our years of pissing in the wind were not in vain. Just remember kids; PS3 is ridiculously overpriced (especially in the UK) not as powerful as they said it would be, and Sony are evil racists.

I wouldn't put it past them..

SEGA GRAFFITI FROM AROUND THE WORLD

This exciting idea for an update started about two months ago, when a man said he’d seen the word “SEGA” sprayed on a wall beside a railway line somewhere in Essex.

He said he’d take us a photo. Usually people say they’ll do things like that but never bother, so we forgot about it and thought he’d never bother. But he bothered!

Essex Massive Sega Krew

Then, just when we’d forgotten about it, someone else sent us the below collection of links to photos of other SEGA graffiti spotted around the world. So we got a proper update that Kotaku will probably steal and link to, and all we had to do was resize a few photos. Thanks everyone!

SEGA graffiti

SEGA graffiti

MORE SEGA graffiti

MORE SEGA graffiti

EVEN MORE SEGA graffiti

No alla Robotnik

The graffiti-spotter also found a hi-res version of the Sonic anti-fascism logo, for all you Sonic/SEGA fans who may be attending anti-fascism rallies at some point in the future.

A ‘SHOUT OUT’ TO WHERE THEY ALL CAME FROM:

  • Here
  • Here
  • Here
  • Here
  • And from someone’s Flickr account here
  • Maybe if all the locations of the photos are plotted on a world map a clue appears as to SEGA’s return to the hardware market! It could be Dreamcast 2 viral marketing!!

    NINTENDO PROVIDES PHOTOSHOP PORN COMMUNITY WITH MORE RAW MATERIALS

    Just Google “huge cocks” and another viral Wii joke to post on forums will be yours in seconds.

    Open-mouthed and ready

    Dear Nintendo, if we can have the one on the left for 20 minutes or the one on the right for 30 minutes we’ll give the entire Wii launch line-up 10/10. Thanks.
