GOOD SONIC TOY SHOCKER
It’s only a prototype. The actual retail version will probably end up with rickets, fat arms, club feet and a spack face.
Should a 31 year old even be contemplating its purchase?
Shamelessly stolen from a site that has regular updates: The Sonic Stadium
If nothing else, it should stop Weatherbox from whinging?
March 11th, 2011 on 1:52 pm
Tch. Caving to popular demand.
Or to Weatherbox anyway, does that count as popular?
I dunno, there’ll be PS3 games coverage here next.
March 11th, 2011 on 2:07 pm
Surely Weatherbox makes up 20% of the readership these days?
March 11th, 2011 on 2:52 pm
You’re damn right it counts as popular.
I really enjoy this love/hate relationship I have with you guys. It’s like one night we do some heavy petting on your mum’s sofa, and the next day you ignore my texts, and when I see you in the playground on Monday you pretend as though nothing happened.
Then we walk home from school and get a Mr.Freeze blue raspberry ice pole, and you let me feel your tits, then we buy a multipack of Frisps and some limeade and sit on the swing down the rec and you tell me it’s over for good, and I go home and cry quietly in my room whilst reading Match magazine.

At least thee quality of the updates has gone up 33% since I stopped posting here.
You guys have never had it so good.
March 11th, 2011 on 3:19 pm
Or even ‘the’. Fucking typos…

Gary, you stopped being 31 a long time ago. Move one.
March 11th, 2011 on 5:01 pm
It wasn’t Gary who posted it. Twas me.
Why don’t you post any more Terrier?

I used to live with Weatherbox. His favourite dinner is sausage pasta

Tinribs, your attempts at character assasination have done little to damage my reputation here at UK:R.
Look at their little faces, they love me. I am like a God to these people! Protests, what are you talking about! There are no protests here, my people love me, all my people with me. My people would die to protect me. There are no demonstrations in the streets, no-one is against me, against me for what? You don’t understand the UK:R political system, I am not a tyrant, the power is in the hands of the people.
Anyway, my favourite dinner is curry.

UK:R – Now functioning under a semi official Dictatorship. Maybe we should have “Spiel Macht Frie” back up there to reinforce this sort of thing?
March 12th, 2011 on 9:05 am
I stopped reading after “and you let me feel your tits”.
March 14th, 2011 on 12:05 pm
If this is the shocker, can you explain how this bit attaches? Although, if I’m honest, I’m not sure I want to know…
March 14th, 2011 on 12:08 pm
Oh yeah, when did it change from extras to idiots up the top there?
Now seems like a direct order.
Wish you wouldn’t keep changing things, you’re worse than the bloody supermarket.
Where are the teabags now?

A reader sent in an amended GIF last week as it was annoying him so much.
March 14th, 2011 on 6:29 pm
I was umming and ahhing about doing the same but apathy won out over annoyance for once.

Is this where everyone has been:

Commodity fetishism?
If I was more internet savvy I’d make a ‘video mash-up’ of this with Bernie Wayne’s Miss America theme.

Hey Weatherbox, how’re your teeth beh?
March 16th, 2011 on 12:19 pm
I can make a very nice risotto using sausage. It has haricot beans and parmesan, too. I think that Weatherbox might quite like it.
Or how about a sausage curry?!? Eh? you’re temped, I can tell.
I like this. Weatherbox dinner speculation. What version of the web are we on these days? 2.76? Whatever, this is very ‘web n.ab’

The last Sonic toy I bought was a little figurine from Forbidden Planet in that there London. It was rubbish, if you moved the arms or legs just a little bit then the plastic started to come away. No good for any activity that includes vigorous rubbing.
In other news the Yoshi doll I bought was superb and now sits next to the Street Fighter 4 figures, it’s washable too.
I’m 33 and I could cry.
I’m off to find a Saturn 3d Controller now, really I am
March 16th, 2011 on 3:41 pm
Can I make two suggestions? One is that we all go over to Badben’s house for a UK:R sausage curry get-together to raise troop morale, the other is that we vigilantly lynch Captain Whoops for buying rival merchandise.
C’mon, what better way to instil faith into a dying movement than a good lynching to oust the detractors from the original doctrine?
I won’t stand for impurity! It must be SEGA and nothing else! I won’t even eat fusion cuisine, in fact, I hereby issue a UK:R fatwa on Heston Blumenthal.
Only kidding Whoopsie! We’re still mates, right? I mean mates insofar as we visit the same website and prescribe to the same vague ideas about why things are shit, of course.
March 16th, 2011 on 3:45 pm
I think that last paragraph sums this place up quite nicely.
March 16th, 2011 on 4:49 pm
Rival merchandise? I thought this blog was ironic and that we loved all gods creatures…even Zool. Well, years of my life wasted on non-irony.
Is that ironic in itself?
Ooo a lynching, probably the only way I’ll “have people over”. Actually I’ll call you all friends if you come over to my place one evening and we can all play 10-player Saturn Bomberman over a decent Chablis and Steak Fondue.
How does that sound?
You’ll have to bring your own crusty bread though.
March 16th, 2011 on 6:56 pm
Weatherbox, what are you talking about? That French person once gave us both a yoshi doll for Christmas, and yours even had a Christmas hat and candy cane
March 17th, 2011 on 12:28 pm
We’ll have to wait a bit, I’m up to my neck in kitchen DIY at the moment. The only sausage curry I could currently knock up would be a Tesco microwave one with some ready-to-eat fun-sized chipolatas stirred in. At my current rate of progress… some time in 2013 perhaps?
We’ll all still be here, reading stuff, hating ourselves…
March 17th, 2011 on 12:46 pm
Sausages and lynching, we must be on the second round of comments already. Update please.
March 17th, 2011 on 1:42 pm
Tinribs, I’m beginning to think you’re one of these guys:

And I thought that time Chris Hansen walked into the room with a camera was bad…
March 17th, 2011 on 5:04 pm
So no takers for the fondue and lynching then?
I’ll just go put away the fancy crockery and silk rope then.
Nothing much else to do tonight, anyone fancy a drink?
I’ll be honest, I’m at a loose end.
