“SONY THE HEDGEHOG PRESENTS CHARTBUSTERS ’93”

This just in from our NIGHTMARE ALTERNATE REALITY correspondent. The man selling it claims it’s a “Collectable promo version” which hints at this being a legitimate licensed SEGA/Sony Music production.

There are still five days left on the auction at time of typing, if you want to risk finding out.

That’s the tracklisting. Click on it to remind yourself how bad music was in 1993.

GO AWAY, BENTLEY JONES

This stupidly-haired IDIOT is “doing” the “main theme” of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, according to an image on Amazon and what he says on his blog. Bentley may have more hair than Richard Jacques, but we’d run out of things to talk to him about before we’d even finished the first pint.

With Richard, we’d be able to think about things to talk about until 3.45am!

You can buy it through Amazon if you’ve just been won over by his choppy fringe and computer-enhanced eyes. There’s also a competition going on over on his site, where you can win the chance to be “in” the video for it. It’ll be OK, no one will ever see it.

NO IDEA WHY THIS WAS CANCELLED

What could possibly go wrong with a game called “2 Finger Heroes”?

YOU MAY ALSO LIKE SNOW WHITE AND ROBOCOP

Mainstream catalogue retailer Marshall Ward is knocking out this painful piece of mid-1990s-style costumery, for the benefit of grown men with emotional issues for whom Sonic is an escape pod back through time to when it was mum that had to worry about paying the mortgage. This was found by popular late-2000s casual UKR labourer “Phorenzik”. We’re not suggesting he’s that target buyer.

The padded hands are admittedly a masterstroke that give it an extra edge of realism, but nothing else works on any level – not even on the unseen ultraviolet and infrared levels.

It is unsurprisingly (a) still in stock, and (b) made out of polyester.

It has to be made out of polyester, because cotton is too thick and heavy for the speeds Sonic runs at!!!

Marshal Ward thinks buyers may also like Snow White and Robocop, and to be fair, we’ve just briefly had a go at imagining having sex with Snow White while dressed as Robocop and it actually works as a scenario*.

robocop

See? There’s easy penis access there between the leg plates, so you wouldn’t have to worry about going flaccid while Snow White’s trying to fight you off.

ROBOCOP/SNOW WHITE POSSIBLE SEX SCENARIO:
You went to a fancy dress party as Robocop, then you and Snow White started chatting and laughing at the retard who came as Sonic and has been sitting there on his own for the last two hours not saying anything to anyone. Then you managed to get her to lose count of how much she had to drink and carried her to the toilet when she thought she was going to be sick but then she WASN’T sick and brief sex happened.

Then she asked you what you name was afterwards, and you looked at her, then triumphantly said “MURPHY!”. But then, the next day, you realised you should’ve given her your real name or your mobile phone number, as there’s no way she’ll be able to contact you and her friends won’t remember there even being anyone called “Murphy” at the party. So you’ll die alone.

A DISSERTATION RESEARCH BLOG WHICH IS LOOKING AT THE QUESTION ‘ARE THERE UNDERLYING THEMES OF CAPITALISM WITHIN THE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG SERIES?

Well, there sort of are, in that Sonic likes collecting “coin-like” gold items, which is a bit like capitalism. Good luck spinning that sole fact out over 10,000 words, Luke. You’d seriously be better off ditching “uni” and going straight into being unemployed and having a blog about games.

He’s being very brave about using semi-colons;

We pity the poor tutor that will have to read through this, pretending it was a worthwhile way to spend three years. Thanks to reader “Paul” for sending this in.

SEGA’S ALL-STAR BEDROOM PRIVACY DEVICE

“Please, mum, do not enter my bedroom and recreate an urban myth by putting a cup of tea down beside me while I am masturbating with my headphones on”.

sega all stars promo

Well done, SEGA. After the recent years spent in the wilderness producing Wii games for literally about 50 people, it would appear you’re finally ON TRACK again with your target demographic. Start selling these for a pound at a market and you might be able to return to that GLORY FINANCIAL QUARTER you once enjoyed in the early 1990s.

ENJOY A SHUFFLE WITH SEGA

An ice shuffle. A nice shuffle. A wank. Have a wank while thinking about SEGA. Warm your ‘mouse hand’ up fist, though, else it’ll shrivel away to nothing.

“SEGA has made a new game that anyone with a PC can play! A ‘Virtual Curling’ game would probably suck but SEGA has taken the ‘idea’ of curling and made Ice Shuffle – a fun puzzle game!” – Scott.

Couldn’t be bothered playing a whole game through to the end, but you might not be so jaded and miserable that it could be of some entertainment to you. The music sounds nice on a loop in the background, we’ll give it that.

DREAMCAST AND MEGA DRIVE CONTROLLER CHRISTMAS TREE DECORATIONS

The man who makes them says he’s struggling to meet demand, so this has probably already been on Kotaku for the last 72 hours.

But just in case it hasn’t. Sent in by “GigerPunk” who really ought to get a blog of his own rather than writing the UKR/Extra-Last network all by himself.

A WOMAN CALLED “SEGA FAIRWEATHER”

She doesn’t mind a few bumps and bruises, so would fit in well around here.

Found here by a “Ricky Dee” who apologises if it’s old. She’s only 19, so it can’t be that old. We have underpants older than Miss Fairweather.
