NEW VEIN OF MATERIAL DISCOVERED: PAPIER MACHE CHARACTERS

One of those new-wave blogs that exists to laugh at the brave work of the everyday man/child has dug up this sensational pair of papier mache creations. One of which you may be able to recognise, although we’d need its dental records to be 100 percent sure.

papier-mache-sonic

Discovered by a person called “Art”.

papier-mache-pikachu

Those are actual human eyes.

“MERY THE HEDGEHOG”

Cosplaying fan fiction artwork. It doesn’t get any more niche than this without there being penises and harnesses involved.

Mery the Hedgehog

No idea how she got her head through that top. Must’ve been sewn into it. And those headphones must be custom built. Found on the internet by “Snozzeltoff” who said he was innocently “looking for a Space Channel 5 avatar picture”.

SEGA OF AMERICA OFFERS PHOTOS OF OUTDOOR TYPES

Spotted by SEGA US Flickr Account Monitor “Anne”. They are to celebrate Vancouver 2010, the spiritual successor to Winter Heat.

Lindsey-Vonn

Sorry to have to break this to you, Anne, but we’re going to have to let you go. As part of an internal UKR systems modernisation programme, we have finally learned how to use RSS feeds and now get auto-alerted when SEGA puts a photo on its Flickr pages. Sorry, Anne, it’s the recession. And progress.

seth-wescott

The top one is called Lindsey Vonn. This one is Matt something. Matt Trousers. Matt Attitude. Something like that. Doesn’t really matter.

vancouver-2010

That’s what this is all for.

“WHEN THE GAME STARTED, THE WHOLE ROOM TURNED INTO A DANCE FLOOR WITH LOUD MUSIC AND HALF-NAKED HOT GIRLS”

Not the words of UKR, so we can’t get in trouble for posting this. They are the words of English Russia, which has got a whole load of photos of this rudeness, taken at a LAN gaming event that featured… strippers.

WARNING: The link contains some censored “tits out” shots and also some “LAN party” images, both of which might be embarrassing to have pulled out of your IT department’s log files at your next performance review.

english-russia-lan-love-in-1

You can tell by her shoes she doesn’t belong there, and has in fact been paid to spend exactly one hour there. She’s got some trainers and tracksuit trousers in her bag to wear home. We know how they operate.

english-russia-lan-love-in-2

The one on the left genuinely does not know what to do and is wishing she wasn’t there, or he was at home on his own watching a video of this all happen. Poor one on the left. The one on the right is thinking he does know what to do, and is trying to make it look like he knows what to do, just in case. Poor the one on the right. Poor everyone.

THINNER MODEL DEEMED A SUCCESS

These thinner, lightweight new models are so much easier to carry home and position around the house.

ps3-slim-launch-success

Taken from here. The site has a Flickr account here, but there’s a disappointing lack of original resolution source material.

“SKY SPORTS PRESENTER GEORGIE THOMPSON”

We know the internet. We know the #1 thing people on the internet want to see is photos of female TV presenters in different positions and scenarios than usual, wearing different clothes than usual. It lets you build up a wider, more solid fantasy scenario in your head, if you know what sort of clothes they wear outside of the studio.

sky-xbox-360-2

This, for example, is what Georgie might wear on a “night out” with “the girls”.

sky-xbox-360-1

Photos taken from the Daily Mail. The excuse for reading the Daily Mail web site is as follows – we were writing something proper for someone else about Sky and Xbox 360, and required an image. These images popped up in Google Image Search, leading us to the Daily Mail web site for the larger originals.

LET’S HAVE A POO, WITH AMY ROSE

Kotaku is encroaching on our turf, bothering to take photos of the toilet signs in a Japanese arcade. Brian didn’t take any pictures from within the toilets, though. He is not that far gone yet. Photos found (ie, seen on Kotaku) by “Eggobots”.

sonic-arcade-toilet

That’s Sonic. We don’t want to think about Sonic having a wee, and certainly wouldn’t want to be in the cubicle next to him when he does a poo. At least he’d be done quickly, so we could relax.

amy-rose-possible-poo-action

That’s Amy. We would like to think about Amy having a wee. Not sure if we’d like to think about Amy having a poo, though. We’ll try thinking about Amy having a poo later and see how it goes.

AMY ROSE POO FAN FICTION PRELIMINARY NOTES
Suppose it depends what she’s been eating. Maybe if you factor in a nice, healthy meal beforehand as part of the story arc, then she can do nice little vegetarian poos like a rabbit. And if they were round, they’d collect in your belly button and wouldn’t make a mess on the sheets.

ELECTRONIC ARTS IN NEW “STAFF ABUSE” SCANDAL

EA made its booth babes at TGS wear ill-fitting promotional t-shirts. She’s not wearing much make-up because she’s just sobbed it all off in the toilets.

ea-tgs-booth-babe-abuse

The poor thing. All she can do is take solace from being allowed to accessorise.

microsoft-green-bra

Microsoft opted for visible green bras, which is why it’s doing much better in the territory these days. Photos taken from a frankly disappointing Famitsu booth babe update. This had better just be a Day One teaser set before the men with confidence and proper cameras arrive and start telling them to lick their fingers.

“SONIC THE HEDGEHOG FAN FILM TRAILER”

The makers of this ask if the viewers would like it to be made into a full-length film. We’d imagine SEGA’s answer would be “Definitely not”.

Our answer is also a “Not”. But thanks anyway.

EMERGENCY WEEKEND UPDATE – POOR SPACE CHANNEL 5 COSTUMERY

This photo set has reached CRITICAL MASS. We’ve had more emails about this than we’ve got baked bean tins in the recycling bin. None of the emails were overly complimentary.

sega-space-channel-5-cosplay

Spotted by pretty much everyone on SEGA’s Toronto Fan Expo 2009 page. We’re going to have to launch an internal policy review regarding updates based on SEGA’s Flickr output. It’s putting out more content than we can handle.
