EXCITING AND GARISH NEW TEMPLATE WITH ZERO NEW FUNCTIONALITY
The red was making us angry. The sky symbolises a new dawn. The background is stolen from OutRun in case you’re wondering. The main column is a few pixels wider and hopefully you’ll all find the blues and greens a bit easier on the eyes.
Apart from that, it’ll be banality as usual.
Cheerio, old pal. You were good, on certain versions of certain browsers, and when viewed at specific resolutions.

Can you not try using the Sega Arcade font with the OutRun red->orange fade on ALL the text on the site? Just for 1 day?
February 27th, 2009 on 1:03 pm
AARRGH FUCK FUCK MY EYES MY GODDAMN EYES…
…oh actually it’s not that bad. I liked being andry though. Infact I’m still angry. Always angry

I like it, but yourself in the past has a bone to pick with you: http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/issue10.html

The UK:R I once loved is well and truly gone. In every way possible.
February 27th, 2009 on 1:36 pm
The “bar” at the right looks shit. At least I could just ignore it on the old layout.
February 27th, 2009 on 1:59 pm
Oh hey I like it and I am renowned for my good taste.
February 27th, 2009 on 2:04 pm
Actually I think the new theme looks awesome!
Funny that just as UK:R drops the red and black theme, I use a similar color pallet for my newly created blog… Red and black reminds me of my model one Sega Genesis, and Sega Master System…
February 27th, 2009 on 2:11 pm
This is it, isn’t it? The end of the line. Bye bye UK:R.
At least you lasted longer than the much loathed Gamegirl Advance, which seems to have stopped in November last year. Thankfully.
A victory of sorts Zorg?
February 27th, 2009 on 2:48 pm
that pixelized logo looks gay hth
February 27th, 2009 on 3:03 pm
Bring back the swillmillman.. all is forgiven
February 27th, 2009 on 3:08 pm
You’re worse that a oh so transparent Sony viral campaign Zorg. You get your ‘loyal’ fans to waste time producing banners to your previous requirement then go and do something else.
February 27th, 2009 on 3:12 pm
Very nice, but could you make a second skin so that when we visit at work it doesn’t look like we’re wasting our lives?
February 27th, 2009 on 4:02 pm
Bring back the RED, even if it comes with the swillboy homo guy.
February 27th, 2009 on 4:02 pm
Bring back Ensign Teela*, all is forgiven.
*Just kidding. Don’t. EVER.
February 27th, 2009 on 4:44 pm
Please what is this bollocks ?
February 27th, 2009 on 4:58 pm
honestly, the colors are okay, but this business of looking on the left side of the screen instead of the middle is awkward.
the fact that the box on the right is about half the size of the one on the left suggests that external links and UK:R archives are almost as important as new news. you dont want to insinuate that, do you? onwards and upwards, UK:R!
WV: reend. how an illiterate child says ‘read’ based on phonetically memorizing it because they can’t read it for themselves. also, to end again.
February 27th, 2009 on 5:09 pm
Is this really OutRun? Really? There’s no road!
Also, there’s an annoying out of place pixel to the right of the background, arrrgh!
February 27th, 2009 on 5:11 pm

February 27th, 2009 on 5:26 pm
Nice colours, the main text not being in the middle is gash, the advert at the top is gash.
February 27th, 2009 on 5:35 pm
probably just as well the old design was ditched. i used 2 get an awful lot of weird looks from people in library’s, college, etc thinking i was browsing far-right neo-nazi web sites.
February 27th, 2009 on 5:38 pm
The “UK:R” favicon is now an easily forgettable “B.” I also think a Green Hill background would have been a bit more fitting and less garish. Still, commenting suggestions in this new world feels a bit like telling the four horsemen they’d look better in sweater vests.
February 27th, 2009 on 5:42 pm
Bit weird, innit? You know, change and that.
February 27th, 2009 on 6:05 pm
It scrolls like a bitch on my P3 Thinkpad, thanks for making my life just a little bit worse.
February 27th, 2009 on 6:20 pm
I’m a girl and I like it.
February 27th, 2009 on 6:43 pm
Is Gash, scrolls like Gash. Points for using Out Run background though. That’s, uh, 1 point.
February 27th, 2009 on 6:44 pm
It is really really really shit.
You need to MAN THE FUCK UP and get some Jet Set Radio in the background.
February 27th, 2009 on 6:58 pm
Jesus everyone is hating on the new theme, I guess I’m the only one that likes it…
On the other hand, all them people did make banners and whatnot that where not used… Unless that is that this theme and banner was made by a reader… If that is the case that reader is probably scared out their mind to comment among this sea of hate…
Come isn’t this suppose to be blue sky, like love peace and tranquility stuff?
February 27th, 2009 on 7:20 pm
ffs put the main stuff back in the middle
February 27th, 2009 on 7:21 pm
Yeah I dunno about this. Slows my laptop to a crawl. Maybe one of the only sites that does. Wha Gwan??? Fix it please
February 27th, 2009 on 7:35 pm
It’s a cool background and I would go as far as to say it’s photorealistic!
February 27th, 2009 on 7:50 pm
when asked about the new look to UK:R the nations top Halo fan Amanda commented “what a load of shit”
February 27th, 2009 on 7:59 pm
>:O Why is everything over to the left?! And the neon blue with neon green is far harder on my eyes.
I appreciate the change and all that, but this is just not right. The background doesn't say "Sega" it doesn't even say OutRun. Why not use the background from the first beach stage ffs? (The only stage 99% of people that have played OutRun can remember).
I'm trying to be helpful while combining it with the trademark UKR uncalled for aggression and bile.
Not happy. First my kidneys fail, mother dies, house burns down, get diagnosed with autism and now this.
February 27th, 2009 on 8:03 pm
It’s a bit sore on my eyes, which is annoying because I need to dull down the contrast everytime I visit this site (which is about five times A DAY!!!) just to read it.Bah humbug.
February 27th, 2009 on 8:14 pm
love it.
February 27th, 2009 on 8:17 pm
dear commander ‘couldn’t be arsed changing the banner for ages’ zorg
aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggghhhh the light!!! it burns the eyes!!!! what have you done?! i can’t take it anymore! you’ve obviously taken leave of your senses. what medication are you on?!
a new banner would’ve been fine. this is far too cheery. i want a dark damp hovel to view as i’m a grumpy old nostalgic and i need refuge from this cruel world! godammit. good to see it called uk resistance again although you should’ve went with one of the readers banners. probably the chicken one. a barking mad one in keeping with the site one anyway. the one you have now looks like it was designed by the sensible police from toytown ffs. bah humbug wibble
i also prefered the meat in the middle, none of this hanging to the left krap. the favicon B must stand for bollocked up to the max.
on the plus side the new change seems to have gained you an alleged girl reader. bet your just fapping off to the thought.
i’ll still visit though your off the xmas list if i had one.
love from in a manly bear-hugging way only
anonymous but loyal sega loving grumpy old fart
February 27th, 2009 on 8:46 pm
I guess the big question is will the redesign make it into Mondays MediaGuardian?
Surely that’s the main reason Zorg has committed this metrosexual travesty.
February 27th, 2009 on 8:59 pm
He rang me, told you all to fuck off and that he gets a salary for this shit now so he doesn’t care what you think.
February 27th, 2009 on 9:05 pm
Is your phone number 555-1234?
February 27th, 2009 on 10:38 pm
I like the redesign. I also like the option to ‘Submit RSS idiots’ to the site.
WV: lisperin – sounds like medication for a painful speech impediment.
February 27th, 2009 on 10:39 pm
This is a war effort, not a gay day in Brighton! That’s far too colourful for a War against Playstation Terror.
What the frak is that background? I can no longer see it as my retinas have white out.
I want to do a poo at the old UK:R House.
Liggin: what I do every time I come on here in an attempt to fit in.
February 27th, 2009 on 11:09 pm
I don’t know… The new design makes the whole site feel like a more generic Sega fan site. Reminds me of SegaNerds with the way the columns are listed. The advert at the very top of the page is offensively overbearing.
February 27th, 2009 on 11:35 pm
Am I the only one who couldn’t give a shit one way or the other? The only genuine complaint has come from those whose browsers stall as a direct result, the rest of you need to stop acting like Anthea Turner dealing with a tiny curry stain on her upholstery. You lot are acting like this website’s the Elephant Man or something, it’s alright isn’t it? Who gives a shit, I mean honestly?!
There are sites with far worse interfaces than this and I and many others tolerate them because I get joy from the content. Democracy is wasted on you bunch of whinging babies.
February 28th, 2009 on 12:05 am
I’m not seeing any adverts at the top of the page. I’m using Opera and have checked that it’s not blocking anything…
February 28th, 2009 on 12:30 am
If this were the old one and the old one were the new one, there would be twice as many complaints about the change.
I like it… it’s cheerful
When does Outrun come out on Xbox live?
Also, I thought ‘submit rss idiots’ was intended to be a command
February 28th, 2009 on 12:31 am
It’s up there. Big illfitting MechQuest ad up top. Vomit colors below.
/whinge
February 28th, 2009 on 12:47 am
If I’m “in” the OutRun world how come I can look up and down this huge comment box but the horizon stays fixed? Am I also therefore “in” the internet world too?
Very confusing, and to be honest I would have expected more from a “tech savvy” internet “blogger” such as yourself. I, for one, will not be renewing my subscription.
February 28th, 2009 on 1:48 am
I’m not a fan of this new theme, surely some of those fan made banners would have been good to use? Some of those Ulala looked banners fantastic.
This new theme just looks to passive and sedate for THE premier SegaFan blog that is bitter, offensive and self-loathing.
Maybe I’m just bitching against chance, but surely Spiel Macht Frei was the proverbial untouchable sacred cow?
February 28th, 2009 on 3:23 am
Couldn’t give a bollocks to be brutally honest. I don’t visit the site to look at the background anyway, just like I don’t visit the cinema to look at the seats or the wallpaper.
I think people need to chill out and/or get a fucking life.
February 28th, 2009 on 4:24 am
Ahhh christ what the hell happened here? Feels like my eyes have been bumraped.
February 28th, 2009 on 4:49 am
This is how UKR makes me feel.

February 28th, 2009 on 6:25 pm
Ghey.
What’s more GAY is all the crying from Zorg’s cock chuggers.
It just doesn’t fucking work. Too much of it is covered up by the awkwardly sized/spaced boxes. It could be anything. It’s supposed to be Outrun? It could be any old shite off a C64 cover tape.
I liked some of the entries, they should be shown randomly. Just the ones I liked though. Couldn’t give a little green shit what you think.
February 28th, 2009 on 9:56 pm
Why did you go for this monstrosity, what the denizens of ukr really want is a background of ulala with an enormous schlong !!!
March 1st, 2009 on 6:07 am
Zorg.. where is the “about us” page.. that was the real highlight of the blo…i mean website. Also update the damn workers, where is it?!!?!?!? Keep up the good work though.
March 1st, 2009 on 4:26 pm
The new layout reminds me of offworld.com
Here was my attempt at the logo competition.
http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5893/ukrcopy.gif
March 1st, 2009 on 4:45 pm
The so called logo competition reminds me of the Blue Peter cat naming scandal.
Zorg always had his own agenda, and anyone who spent a few hours creating a cock waving Ulala has a right to feel cheated.
I would advise anyone in that situation to take the case to Citizens Advice to begin with. Don’t let him get away with it!
March 1st, 2009 on 7:19 pm
looks fine to me :)
March 1st, 2009 on 11:11 pm
Anyone not liking this isn’t seeing it right, likely because they have too much fucking man gravy in their eyes. If you can all stop wanking off your latest trick long enough to wipe your face, you’ll probably have a better perspective. Pixels are great. Blue is great. Outrun is great. Go fuck yourselves.
March 1st, 2009 on 11:59 pm
Love the retro look.
March 2nd, 2009 on 10:04 am
http://offworld.com/
Yep.
March 2nd, 2009 on 11:31 am
I love the new look. Well, the parts that are giant “pixels” made up of blocks of normal-sized pixels. My screen is big enough to make the news appear to be MOSTLY centered, so all the rest is pretty decent as well.
March 2nd, 2009 on 11:33 am
Blue skies FTW.
March 2nd, 2009 on 12:00 pm
its monday and this shit is still here.
Plus the adverts…
BM removed.
March 5th, 2009 on 11:56 am
why’s everyone bitching and moaning about the user made banner? i doubt many of them took more then an hour or two and if the people who made them didn’t then they probably would have spent the time wanking anyway.
