ANTI-CHARITY UPDATE: HELP YOURSELF ONLY BY GETTING THAT SEGA LP FROM A SHOP
An Australian shop is giving away the SEGA Ultimate Collection LP when you buy the game, should you want to buy the game from an alternate PAL region and get it for free.
You have to live in Australia though. This update is useless.
“Hey, readers may note that the limited edition bit of plastic is only $59 here in Aus. Which probably equates to 13 pence at the moment with the exchange rate” – John.
This one’s for the 10 Australian readers we’ve had as of 10.09am today.
JOHN’S SUPERB STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS “PS”
“Also can you refrain from using the word ‘journalist’ in association with games. Hunter S. Thompson was a journalist, fear and loathing on the campaign trail was journalism – writing a fucking review of a slightly tweaked version of FIFA year-on-year in your shared shit-hole apartment full of retro games and Simpsons figures whilst wanking yourself into oblivion over episodes of Heroes is not ‘journalism’. Sticking feathers up your arse does not make you a chicken.”

“SEGA Ultimate Collection Soundtrack”. Hardly Ultimate, doesn’t even have fucking Green Hill Zone on it.

I have never yet managed to wank myself into oblivion. God knows I’ve tried. I’ll probably try again today.
Never give up the good fight.

Using Hunter S. Thopson as example of “a journalist” is a bit unfair to journalists… It’s like using Aryton Senna as an example of “a driver”, by which standard we’re all stoned gibbons who fiddle around with steering wheels.
After further consideration, though, journalists deserve everthing that they get so please carry on.

About 4 of those visits from Australia was me. Sorry to get your hopes up.

I’m pretty sure “Unknown” represents Kaz Hirai visiting from whatever world he livs in this week.

Could we maybe get that bar chart as a regular feature? Maybe even every Friday?
I’m fully aware of the possible health risks involved in simultaneously staring at PS3 stats AND geographical clicky stats, but I believe it’s well worth the risk.
Imagine being in possession of that kind of information…

I want a chart like that too… Then I could see where both of my website visitors come from. :D
WV: “repli” (reply?… that’s what I’m doing, silly computer! :D)

Hunter S Thompson was a Gonzo Journalist. To call a genius like him a Journalist is like calling Stephen Fry a limey puff; sort of right, but a seriously grave insult both to the man himself and to anyone with any semblance of a brain.
Journalists are scum-sucking self-obsessed sons of bitches, and most games journalists fit that category perfectly.

Gentlemen, gentlemen. I’ve heard that HMV might be getting these in as a pre-order bonus for the super-HD whizz-bang collection of games YOU ALREADY OWN.

I don’t own them. How dare you.
