PHOTOGRAPH OF READER IN SEGAWORLD T-SHIRT AND IMPLIED CONSENT TO PUBLISH IT
A reader called “Paul” sent us a series of photos of a SEGAWORLD t-shirt. Nothing unusual about that, except Paul also included a photo of HIS FACE and TORSO.
He didn’t say not to use the one with his face in it, so presumably he’s OK with it going the internet.
“I was having a clear out of my spare room and was understandably excited to unearth this SEGA fashion item from one of my drawers. This brought the memories back of my visit to SEGAWORLD London. I was supposed to be visiting the Tate Gallery on a college trip but of course I was out of there as soon as I could and straight down to the Trocadero.”
“I remember visiting the then-impressive gift shop and picking up this beautiful item. I’m not sure why really, as I must’ve only worn it a handful of times back in the day, before it was resigned to a forgotten drawer in my spare room. Surprisingly it still just about fits me, but I’m not sure it would be suitable wear for a Saturday night drinking session? Hope you enjoy these pics” – Paul.
From our brief foray into merchandise production, we know this is a quality piece. Embroidered logos cost more per unit. SEGAWORLD was therefore a place that cared more about user happiness and quality than profits. Which must be why it’s closed now.
And it’s ideal for a Saturday night drinking session if you’re a SEGA fan, as you could easily wear it to bed once you’ve turned the TV off.

Pauls mums kitchen looks very bare.

Waiting for the face reveal was a roller-coaster ride. More please!
November 26th, 2008 on 2:03 pm
yes! more reader’s faces!

Aren’t you legally obliged to put a swirl effect over these people’s faces? You could use the Dreamcast logo for extra points.
November 26th, 2008 on 2:18 pm
You could maybe have a Reader’s Faces section.

Size Small then. And we all know what that means.

Reader’s Faeces?

What’s clinging to the kitchen door? Looks like some small, furry mammal, possibly a cat or new born panda.
Also, if you look very closely you can see something reflected in the kitchen window. If someone was able to do some Blade runner style image enhancement, I’m sure it would show the real owners of the house tied up and gagged.

Oh wow, it’s Daniel Craig’s haircut!

This is one of my best friends, he really REALLY loves Sega!

Since when have gamers had use for small sizes?
November 26th, 2008 on 5:58 pm
Would

Sliding Kitchen Door! They have an interior sliding door! I love those. They’re so, charming.

“Since when have gamers had use for small sizes?”
Judging by the size of it on him – unless Paul’s a dwarf – Sega knew their market and adjusted accordingly. Clever Sega.
Presumably he got a large too which was used to lag the boiler.

THIS MAN IS MY HERO!
If he had some Jimmy-Jam bottoms with Dreamcast swirls on them and wore them with the top, then I would worship him as a god.
His is the ONLY look this millennium.

This update has rendered me sexually frustrated.

Paul’s head is too big for his body.

There’s no need for the ‘London’ beneath SEGAWORLD. We can clearly see the light switch is on but in a down position, so the photo cannot have been taken in the US. It can’t be Australia because of the haircut. And it can’t be in Japan because he’s not Japanese.
But before you say “there never was a SEGAWORLD in the US”, that’s obvious, but with mentioning the US the whole light switch thing wouldn’t have made sense then would it? Unless the final photo is staged upside-down… which explains the hair! What an amazing puzzler this has been. Thanks UK:R, you’ve done it again, another lazy afternoon in forced retirement filled.

The last picture makes him look like he works for a painters company called Segaworld, come round to paint the ceilings in my bathroom and loo.

In Canada it was ‘SegaCity’. A good place to go (if you had a car, as it was out in the fucking boonies) with loads of excellent games. I managed to win the Sega Indy 500 (which netted you a free keychain) except instead I was given a Manx TT one by mistake. He was attached with honour (and his key loop) to my backpack for the last ten years, though his head has snapped off. Hence my not bothering to send pictures of him in to Zorg.

That Shirt is a small & it looks fucking huge on him! have you got the scale right? or is he a hobbit?….
by the way did anyone see the dreamcast logo on Patrick Truman's cup of tea on EastEnders??…it was an awesome find & we need to get a picture!!!
November 27th, 2008 on 2:21 pm
What day did the episode air on? iPlayer could save the day.
November 27th, 2008 on 9:57 pm
Zorg, can you confirm the email address you want stuff sent to? I’m cool with my submissions not being used, but I just wanna make sure they are getting to you in the first place. Cheers, mate.
November 27th, 2008 on 10:36 pm
The one on the side there.
November 28th, 2008 on 7:13 am
Oh dear! That’s the perfect shirt for the missus to pinch and keep wearing till it’s almost completely f**ked. Then when you split, will you get it back? Will you f**k!

What an ugly fucker.
