Sony’s still completely mental, then.

Well done, Pete! You’ve graduated to the world of the normal, even getting one that doesn’t mind if you stop in the street to take photos of the signage for sending in to the internet. You give hope to everyone, Pete.

“Here’s a pic I found of Sonic being used to advertise some dodgy arcade place while I was on my honeymoon in Hong Kong. Needless to say I dragged the missus in to have a look. No Sonic to be seen anywhere. :'(” – Pete.

Has a big brain, made some nice games.

Cuts his own hair. Probably shy about going to the hairdressers. This bit isn’t supposed to rhyme, it’s avant garde.

It looks like a bit of a silly child’s toy no matter which DJ hand gesture you make, to be honest…

…a fact Mr Tiesto is realising LIVE in photograph #2.

A public vote was hijacked by internet nerds, and the councilors thought it would be funny to play along with the whole thing. This is the end result. This is what happens when ordinary people are given a say.

Submitted by a “Jonathan” who was surprised we missed this. Jonathan, we basically stare at the same three web sites all day for 16 hours, so it shouldn’t really be much of a shock. This is UKR, not BoingBoing. We don’t do research.

THE FULL PRESS RELEASE, WHICH GOES INTO A LOT OF DETAIL ABOUT THE ROAD SYSTEMS OF DERBY:

Connecting Derby update 21 July

As Derby City Council’s Connecting Derby project moves towards completion, Lara Croft Way will become fully operational from Tuesday 27 July.

The road has been built as part of the Council’s Connecting Derby project that began in 2001. The Inner Ring Road is due to be completed at the start of 2011.

The completion of Lara Croft Way, the new road between Osmaston Road to the junction of Burton Road and Normanton Road, will allow drivers to access Burton Road, Babington Lane and Normanton Road via the new roundabout.

Charnwood Street will be closed permanently to motor vehicles at its junction with Osmaston Road from 27 July.

If you’re going to force triples on her without her knowledge, you might as well make them SEGA triples. Stick an extra couple of shots of gin in there, bartender, to ensure she won’t awkwardly regain consciousness and awareness of her surroundings in the middle of… things.

“Spotted at Le Meridien’s Shells restaurant in Mauritius, the SEGA COCKTAIL. Cost over £7, and uses the local sugar cane juices which seem to be growing everywhere. I thought it sounded horrendous, so had the ‘Moonlight Watercooler” instead. It tasted just like a trip to the office watercooler at midnight, as the moonlight hits computer monitors all around you (I’m guessing – I’ve never had the experience. Sadly). I imagine the SEGA COCKTAIL would’ve tasted bitter, like failed dreams and regret” – K.

PREVIOUS MENTIONS OF THE MAURITIUS “SEGA” SCENE:

– THE SEGA SOUND OF MAURITIUS!

“Gee, Sonic, you seem kinda jittery today…”

“Found this on Neatorama. I’m hoping it contains real whizz, but it’s probably made from old car tyres and unregulated plant matter that’ll have you rushing to the bog if nothing else. Keep up the bad work” – Art.

Glen’s been back in touch. You remember Glen – odd chap, used to take photos of his computer and send them in and then we used to put them up and still don’t really know why.

Well, he went to E3 this year, and took us some photographs. And here they all are. Press ‘Page Down’ about twice and then another seven times and then another ten times to get to the ones of women. Also, it ends badly. The last photo is extremely unnecessary.

“Even before I got there billboards for the latest titles could be seen everywhere.”

“Off to the Sega section first.”

“A girl. Playing Sonic Adventure. It doesn’t get better than this. (It really doesn’t get any better than this if you want to stop now.)”

“Afterburner Climax. The line forms on the left.”

“Man posing with Sonic statue. Thumbs up.”

“This is the man who was taking the photo of the man posing with the Sonic statue (in the previous picture). He is taking his turn to pose with Sonic. Fondling spikes.”

“Sonic Adventure. The controller was still warm from the girl’s touch.”

“Blurry photo of large group of men and one girl taking pictures of a cosplay girl in a bikini spanking some rodent thing with her sword (not pictured).”

“This one speaks for itself. It really doesn’t get better than this one for capturing the whole E3 experience.”

“This is a photo of a robot from Battlestar Galactica (the new one) with a girl standing in front of it.”

“This is a look at the man the girl is interviewing.”

“These are his pants.”

“Moving on to the Sony section.”

“Flagship PlayStation title ‘Little Big Planet 2’. Four controllers. No takers.”

“Nintendo section. Outdoors this year. Probably cheaper rent.”

“I think I was spotted here…”

“Mario packs up his arrow and calls it a day.”

“Outside. Girl with a Sonic t-shirt. On the street, so fair game.”

“One more trip back to the ‘Gaming Zone’.”

“A quick flush and time for one more shot before security arrives. (Shot deleted when I discovered pubic hair (not mine) in the frame – Can be sent on request.)” – Glen.

Reader “Matt” has provided our first look at the hardware design of the upcoming Dreamcast 2.0, also confirming initial launch software plans and the console’s connectivity options.

Yes, we are now the UK’s #1 online care resource for the mental. When no one else listens to you or looks at your photographs and videos or clicks on the like button when you say something… “You could always try UKR.”

Shouldn’t really be contacting you like this but it feels as though some people are abandoning all hope of DC 2.0.

I can’t reveal everything, but I have attached a couple of shots of the current prototype including some of the AWESOME new controller types.

I can confirm the following:

– DC2 will be available as hardware or as an iPhone App.
– DC2 will feature a fully V.90 compliant 56k modem.
– DC2 is compatible with both the CDTV and the CD32.
– DC2 will employ an improved version of the original VMU featuring a full colour 14″ CRT display.

Unconfirmed speculation:

– Terrier Games may be approached to supply launch title.
– Final case design could be sought from Pininfarina.
– Sony have voiced concerns over their inevitable crushing defeat.

That’s all I can risk saying right now.

Thanks Matt! We’ll be along with your mashed banana and the feeding tube shortly. This picture is a surprisingly realistic vision of what we imagine most people’s gaming set-ups actually look like today.

Definitely has the potential to “go viral” this one. What’s that man at Kotaku’s email address? This is going to get at least three tweets, one of which may not even be automated.

From a man’s Tumblr, which is a bit like a blog but for people even worse at paying attention, via another man called “Rafael” – who says this is from a Swedish magazine called SEGA FORCE.
