A VANITY UPDATE REGARDING UKR'S IMMORTALISATION IN VIRTUA FIGHTER 5
Yes, there is an AI-controlled character called Zorg in VF5. Yes, it is based on the subconsciously-but-not-purposefully copied off The Fifth Element user name we use here. Yes, his victory quotes are referencing UKR. No, we did not receive any form of payment for this. Yes, it gives us an occasional erection to think about it.
So yes, it is a bit of UKR FOREVER ENTWINED with an AM2 development. We have penetrated the very bowels of AM2. This means we will all live on for eternity, even after the welcoming embrace of death has taken away the pain.
Plus (and we promised Adam Doree we would link to this one day when the time was right) the AM2 VF5 developers themselves “are aware of the message for Blue Sky!” so there could be someone from AM2 reading these very words RIGHT NOW. There’d better not be any typos. Not that they’d know or be able to tell.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM THE SENDER OF THE PHOTOGRAPH:
“I was playing Virtua Fighter 5 this morning when, in one of the easier arcades, a fella by the name of Zorg challenged me. As my camera was close by after last night’s ‘session’ I thought I’d take a quick snap (2304 x 1728 resolution!), as it’s clearly based on you. And yes, that IS a Dreamcast arcade stick and tissue box holder next to the telly. What you can’t see is that the Dreamcast, Saturn AND Mega Drive are all still hooked up. Cheers, Nick.”

About half an hour after I sent this, I stumbled across another player called ‘G Cutlack’. His quote was something along the lines of “Get serious”.
By then I couldn’t be arsed taking pictures and stuff though.

The box of tissues kinda looks like a very dirty dreamcast.

How has UK:R managed to miss the news that Sony are discontinuing the 20GB/60GB versions of the PS3 in Japan, and focusing on the 40GB version, ‘sans’ backwards compatibility? I would have thought there would be images of cheering crowds, naked chicks, and that Kaz bloke being fed to orphans on this most esteemed of news bringers.

That last comment wasn’t me by the way, it was AN IMPOSTER.
January 10th, 2008 on 6:19 pm

I was going to make another imposter post, but I can’t be bothered to sign out of my google account.
Is it just me, or are the characters called lei fei and kage maru, not zorg? am i missing the reference?

Great, but it seems you’re only doing 57% on fights!

He’s also in as Cmdr Zorg in the elite arcade (Sega World South, I think). His PR comment is “Logic Error: No resistance” and I think he was a Raider. I faced him in a final of an emblem tournament.
Also, how can you play as that scummy Lei Fei?
