A MAN CALLED “JAGUAR SKILLS” DOING A VIDEO GAME MUSIC MIX

Found by a different man called “Ben” who says it was broadcast on the radio last night. He also says something about OutRun appearing at around the 70 minute mark which we shall laboriously cut & paste below.

The DJ intro goes on for ages before anything happens, and even then it sounds like the radio isn’t tuned in properly as the DJ seems to always play several records at the SAME TIME.

It is, literally, some men shouting over some tunes you might half recognise.

“It’s amazing. Well worth listening to for the full 2 hours. And in case you’re curious, the Outrun bit is around the 70 minute mark. It deviates somewhat from games afterwards, but it’s still brilliant” – Ben.

NEW LOW OF THE WEEK

At least the photograph is livened up somewhat by the inclusion of the photographer’s fashionable canvas shoe. Look at how loose his laces are. The shoe would go flying if he attempted to kick a football.

“I was walking around the part of town that is known for street art and what have you when I came across this and almost shat a brick or five. I made everyone I was with come to a freaking halt and wait on my overly caffeinated and giddy self so I could take teh piczors you now have. Anyways hope you enjoy and all that lovely crap. Your friendly neighbourhood Sir Kittens” – Sir Kittens.

MAN AND MACHINE IN PERFECT HARMONY

Yuji Naka’s handwriting on a Dreamcast. An even more thrilling combination than semen on the stomach and thighs of Hayden Panettiere. Via the SEGA Europe Flickr account, which we all really ought to keep a closer eye on.

Can someone take it upon themselves to be the SEGA Europe Flickr Account Monitor, please? Just set it to your home page and report in with any interesting developments to do with people in costumes or things from the good, old days.

Found by a man called “Matt” who, incredibly, saw this and thought we might like it. We had no idea we were so easy to read.

Stuff like this is what we’re interested in.

We are not interested in stuff like this.

HIDEO KOJIMA’S NEW GAME – REVEALED

It’s a web game. You sit still on your computer chair and watch a timer count down in front of a fancy Flash background.

It is much more thrilling than Metal Gear Solid. There’s literally ZERO talking in it.

Playing it really feels like you’re a man sitting on the internet looking at a counter and wondering if there’s ever going to be anything more than this to the next 40 years of your life. Congratulations, Hideo! 9/10.

SEGA CARPET – BEING USED!

The amazing SEGA carpet, initially spotted in Southampton SEGA World, has been spotted again. In a fabric shop in Brixton. Perhaps the fabric shop used to be a SEGA World?

Or perhaps the fabric shop, being expert in cheap materials, knew that the cheapest possible way to cover bare concrete is to buy a carpet that says “SEGA” all over it?

“Whilst perusing fabrics with which to cover a slightly grotty sofa I bought for £30 (plus £5 for help to carry it back to my house) I came across this shop in Brixton, in south London.”

“Whilst not much to look at from the front, it opened out into a huge room full of nice rolls of fabric to buy. The real star though, is the carpet (see attached, slightly rubbish iPhone photos).”

“I bought 14 metres of a dark turquoise fabric” – Jason.

PLAYSTATION ASSOCIATED WITH… INTERNATIONAL ORGANISED CRIME!

PlayStation has been accused of causing murder and early death recently, now we have – INTERNATIONAL ORGANISED CRIME!

There is no specific associated imagery. Just a screen grab of the page and a link. If there was a specific associated image it would be something poorly Photoshopped, like the head of Ronnie Biggs on Spyro the Dragon’s body.

HOME MADE SONIC HEROES “TUNIC”

A seller over on DIY tat-merchant superstore Etsy is offering this tasteful homage to the year 2003. She should’ve used Team Rose. She also shouldn’t have put a copyright warning on the page, seeing as all she’s doing is reprinting someone else’s artwork.

Sent in by a “Simon”. Simon is to blame. It was Simon’s idea. When this poor girl is found sobbing and broken in a motorway service station three months from now after a sustained internet hate/stalking campaign, remember it was all because of Simon.

Fortunately, Etsy doesn’t allow comments below items.

SUBLIMINAL DREAMCAST REFERENCE SPOTTED IN “QUIRKY” ONLINE SHOP GAME “FLOCK”

Can’t look at “Flock” without having horrendous flashbacks to the fog of misery surrounding Core Design’s patchy-at-best Herdy Gerdy.

“I was watching a trailer for new Xbox Live Arcade / PSN game ‘Flock!’ by UK developer Proper Games and it looks like they’ve been following your Dreamcast logo search.”

“The latest game trailer features an alien space-ship creating the Dreamcast logo via in-game crop circles! So now the game features everyone’s two favourite things in the whole wide world. Dreamcast… and sheep! I’ve attached some screen-caps for your convenience” – Joe.

No, Joe, thank you for adhering to the three-photos-revealing-ever-more rule. And for doing the hard work with the captures. And for sending this in five months ago.

TODAY’S HALF-HEARTED PHOTO OF A THING THAT SAYS “SEGA”

We don’t know why we’re still doing this, either.

“As you seem to publish just about everything with a sega logo of some form, here’s a picture of a SEGA sign taken from a tram in Hong Kong in late March 2009. You might want to crop out the blurry bit of tram before publishing it, if you can be bothered” – Michael.

Couldn’t be bothered.
