“SONIC DEVOURING TAILS”
This is a good one. Should’ve saved it for Valentine’s Day or next Christmas. It’s Sonic eating Tails, wearing gloves because he doesn’t know where he’s been.
Thanks to Sonic Stadium and whatever a BuzzFeed is for digging it out.
It’s apparently based on this cheery number, in which a man eats his children lest they turn against him. A bit like when you deliberately kill Tails before a difficult bit in Sonic 2, so he doesn’t balls it all up for you. Happy Friday.

I couldn’t manage all of my children now, I’ve left it too long. They’re too big, I’m just never that hungry. So I suppose their eventual treachary is inevitable. Tsk.
Classical art that includes children is another thing that’s always done my head in (scale issues again). The artists spent years studying classical adult musculature and then, clearly determined to make the study count, applied it to every human shape. The result is babies that appear to be miniture 29 year old power-lifters with 56 year old heads. For reference check out some of the abominations that Mary is holding in 80% of classical iconography. Just wrong and scary.

I like to interpret it as the Saturn devouring the Dreamcast out of fear, probably because its last-minute dual processors got confused and convinced one another that it was the right thing to do.
According to the wiki, Saturn had a semi in the original, but it may have been painted over during restoration. Speaking of semis, the advert at the top said “Cheryl (Cole) For A Day”, but turned out to be some makeover thing, so I lost it

Tail’s tails spin around like the flagella of a bacterium. They must have a motor-like area where they meet the body of the fox. If true tails was an abomination and Sonic did us a favour by ridding the world of him.

This is just sheer class.
I want this, framed, above the fireplace.

Is this a screenshot of a new “Dark Sonic” game? Looks great. Could put SEGA back on top.
January 29th, 2010 on 7:14 pm
Yes, it’s from the new game. The one that only has Sonic in. Needlemouse or something? Anyway, it’s from the opening trailer. He grows into a giant monster, eats all the shitty extraneous characters nobody but the furries care about (YES EVEN TAILS) and then shits them all out in a big multi-coloured bone filled poo, which returns him to his original size. Then the game starts.

Still confused as to what is reaching round the left hip of both pictures. It kind of looks as if a dog^like animal is giving a bit of how’s your father to the main character of said pictures. Either that or it’s cancer. Either way, bit weird, but erotic none the less

I propose every Friday features a famous painting altered to represent something from Sega.
This could be the saviour of UK:R. Salvator IR:Refragatio

I can imagine with that on the wall, when I finally lure some poor wench to the bat cave, it would lead to some awesome sex.

Its all ok. The wife wraps a rock to look like the next kid, big old kid-gobler then spews up and all the kids are fine (he dies) and Zeus takes over. This is just terrible Greek rubbish. much like Jesus, and all those ‘just one month’ sofa sales.

The terrible Greek rubbish has been the centrepiece of world literature for thousands of years.

I want a fireplace.

I have a fireplace, and I’d advise against it. They take ages to cook hedgehogs.

Sisyphus is my favourite Greek mythology character, whenever I see someone wasting hours on an MMO I think of him.
I’m sure I sound really clever and cultured now but truthfully I just remember Sisyphus from Ulyses 31 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qDVV3JkDEE.
