THE FIST IS GOING INTO THE OTHER FACE NOW

Is this even allowed? Surely SEGA would’ve told them to NOT DO THIS and have all issues quickly removed from the shelves? Maybe that happened. We skipped the Amiga. It’s taken from issue #34 of Amiga Action.

Zool may well have stormed through briefly in 1992, but we’re assured he’s currently working a Saturday morning shift in Computer Exchange.

It’s for charity. You’re not allowed to say it’s shit.

You should at least read the description with a serious look on your face. It is for charity. Link submitted by the internet’s popular “Guru Larry.”

FURRIES, SONIC AND A THING-GETTING-CLOSER JOKE

If this photograph had a Richard Jacques soundtrack it would be perfect.

“Kotaku just wrote a shite news story about a Furry convention in America. Of great importance is the Sonic tucked away at the top-right of the image.”

“Of more importance is the clearly unhinged man in the middle, deciding when would be the right moment to press the button and end it all. Probably not the most apt date to make such a reference but hey ho” – Chris.

A DREAMCAST CONTROLLER MADE OUT OF SOAP

From the mad world of Etsy. Obviously. It’s an apple-scented, Dreamcast controller-shaped bar of soap, that’ll be ideal ideal for lubing yourself up with from the safety of behind a double-locked bathroom door.

“Saw this and thought of you! Best reason to have a wash ever… although it would be a shame to sully it for such a base use. Mind you, I almost didn’t bother sending this since you totally ignored the last (almost as worthwhile!) thing I sent – which spookily was sent exactly a year ago tomorrow” – Nik.

AN APOLOGY TO EVERYONE:
We currently have 472 unread emails in the public-facing email inbox. Your amazing SEGA thing might be one of those, so if it was VERY AMAZING please do send it in again. Mark it VERY AMAZING SEGA THING. Thanks.

“BE IN THE GAME” WITH… TRAIN2GAME

Train2Game has got enough money out of people to be able to pay for a TV advert. It’s called “Be in the Game” and you can probably imagine EXACTLY how it’s going to look and unfold from that evocative description.

This ad apparently “airs” during “The Gadget Show” on a channel called “Fiver” tomorrow night. Fiver is also how much it must cost to advertise during The Gadget Show.

You can’t embed the video, obviously, because then everyone would be able to view it in environments in which comment cannot be censored by the T2G INTERNET ENFORCEMENT POLICE. So click here to see it, then come back here with your post-screening reviews.

SEGA HAD BIT-PART IN MOMENTOUS SPORTING MOMENT

No, we didn’t notice this at the time. But then again, at the time (1995) we didn’t have to spend all day looking out for anything that said or looked like or hinted at SEGA for subsequent putting on the internet.

This first image isn’t the video. This is a screencapture from the video, so don’t make an idiot out of yourself by clicking away on it and swearing when nothing happens:

“So have you ever noticed the AMAZING (hand-drawn!!11) SEGA banner in Cantona’s legendary roundhouse kick performance? No? Awesome! Another update done” – Mr Fab.

This is the video. Click this one to remember when football and video games were both more interesting and unpredictable than they are now.

“SONIC THE HEDGEHOG OFFICIAL BOXERS BRIEFS L 34-36 RARE”

REASON FOR SALE: “If, like me, you loved playing the Sonic games on the Megadrive when you were young then don’t miss your chance to own a super funky pyjama bottom – you will cherish it forever! It will make a super gift for a trendy guy that appreciates all things retro!”

Basically we’re just dropping hints.

sonic pants rare

Seem to be different ones than that ASOS pair. They also come in proper sizes , but you only seem to get ONE PAIR for for nearly £13. Still, imagine how the ladies will react when they get a glimpse of the “SONIC THE HEDGEHOG” logo peeping out above your trouser waistband.

MAN FOUND SOMETHING SONIC-RELATED ON A GAY SEX SITE

And, unsurprisingly, he would prefer it if we didn’t use his name or email address or even hinted at what part of the country he lives in. And his words were typed into his email software by an actor, so don’t go trying to work out who he is by his typing style. We’ve been caught out like that on more than one occasion.

We’ve also photoshopped the original image, in which the man was revealing his substantially proportioned penis through a hole in the suit.

rubber-sonic-fetish

“Erm, have a look at this, from a popular site where ‘kinky’ homosexualists meet other ‘kinky’ homosexualists. This gentleman appears to be into ‘full rubber coverage’, and Sonic The Hedgehog. In my opinion this is normal compared to the man who gets off on scooter engines ticking over but not starting. Each to their own, eh! Please don’t print my email or name” – Mr Non-rubber Lover.

“SEGA SATURN MAGAZINES JOBLOT”

Our new favourite hobby is spotting these “coming of age” auctions on eBay. Or the “moving out of mum and dad’s house” auctions, where long-beloved possessions and memories are brutally binned in favour of being able to fit everything you own into the boot of an estate car for an easy escape to a NEW LIFE.

Issue 37 is “especially rare” apparently, although we remember it hanging around newsagents for a good six months. It was hard to even look at a magazine stand again after it had gone.

“I play for the University of Manchester ‘Korfball team’ – (it’s a Dutch mixed-sex sport that is kind of like volleyball). We take our sport Very seriously and as a result have various drinking socials throughout the weeks. We decided for our most recent to dress up as something everyone loves… Sonic!”

“Using the best costume accessories for under £10 from Primark we came up with some pretty awesome and horrific efforts.”
