About as interesting as listening to people you don’t know talking about how their bank is failing to pass on the reduction in interest rates. 3/10.

The video doesn’t seem to be embeddable. You’ll have to watch it old school by clicking on a link. She’s wearing a bikini, if that’s any additional motivation. The sighting was sent in by “Per” who says “Ekstra Bladet is a big daily newspaper in Denmark. Like a light version of The Sun.”

“A rather interesting, although awkwardly triangular, SEGA Dreamcast bag given to all workers in the European Contact Centre shortly before they pulled the plug on the Dreamcast and the staff’s employment” – Gary.

We like to think such a mint example would fetch upwards of £2000 on eBay. The harsh reality would be more like £1.99.

“With every incarnation of Ms Lara Croft, the first thing to always be tried and tested is just how close can you get the camera to her for a more ‘intimate’ inspection. And luckily Crystal Dynamics hasn’t let us down!”

“Possibly the best thing about the demo recently posted on Xbox Live is the inclusion of ‘crotch cam’. I’ve attached a couple of pics showing just why such a cam is essential in every Tomb Raider game. God bless the unscrupulous game developer” – Chris.

“I had a cream doughnut today at work, it was all right, the cream was a bit too watery for me, but imagine my ASTONISHMENT when I gazed down at the bit of paper it had been placed in. Is SEGA making really watery cream filled doughnuts now? I put the paper on the cover of an old FHM so you can see Holly Willoughby’s tits. Would. If you mention this you can call me Heywood Jablow” – Heywood Jablow.

Here’s another DC logo/real life picture we got sent by a man called “RedEric”. This is from a coffee shop in Cardiff. It was not deemed good enough to get a whole update to itself, in a rare display of in-house UKR quality control. It’s nice to know that Welsh people are experiencing the joys of posh coffee shops nowadays.

This is more interesting. It also came from “RedEric” but he didn’t say anything about it. The file name is “Singapore 333” so we assume it was taken in Singapore and RedEric is therefore yet another one of our international playboy readers who doesn’t just stay at home screen-capping GMTV presenters’ knees then going out to ASDA to buy custard doughnuts for dinner.

And there was this. We could go on. We have literally thousands of pictures like these in the inbox of misery.

“Away and across the pond, there’s a place called Kings Island that people used to like to go to. Kids liked the Hanna-Barbera themed kiddie rides, and adults could enjoy a multitude of rides based on hit Paramount movies.”

“But this past season, a larger amusement park company bought the park, but none of the rights. Top Gun became ‘Flight Deck’, Tomb Raider was genericized to ‘The Crypt‘ and the Italian Job was demoted to the unfortunate title of ‘Backlot Stunt Coaster‘.”

“Of course, the ride names weren’t the only thing to go. The Happy Land of Hanna-Barbera was perverted into the ‘Nickelodeon Universe’, and familiar carnival game prizes like Hong Kong Phooey and Huckleberry Hound toys were replaced by crunchy, stiff Pokemon plushes and Sonic dolls with wonky eyes, though I guess we’re pretty used to wonky-eyed Sonics by now.”

“Anyway, I’ve attached some pictures showing the sheer magnitude of how many of these dolls there are all over the place. This email’s long enough, so I’ll just leave some additional commentary if you decide to post this. Cheerios” – Sam.

Thanks, Sam. They would appear to be relatively poor plushes featuring disappointingly low production values, but it’s still pleasant to see a place where Sonic triumphs over Disney shite.

Bad eyes. And how come Big The Cat is still being manufactured?

Knuckles is warning the fat man to steer clear of his bitch.

At this rate of decline we’re unlikely to remain under contract past Week 50. 3/10.

The money spent hiring him could’ve been put to much better use developing a party game for Wii.

“I have photos of a ‘Dreamcast 2’ bed spread. Found in the jungle village of Rerrenabaque, Northern Bolivia, it features what is clearly blue skies and sunshine too! It is none other than a subliminal message from SEGA’s Dreamcast 2 promotional squad. They get everywhere!”

“Unfortunately it wasn’t particularly comfortable. But then it is hard to be comfortable in one of the most humid parts of the world, even without 1000 mosquito, tick and sandfly bites” – Alan.

This update is the companion piece to Alan’s Bolivian Battery Special, as featured on upcoming metallurgy blog Idiot Toys. Alan has basically saved today from being even less interesting.

“Not the best picture, but here’s two coins from the SEGA arcade at the speedway in Daytona. I have four of them. I wish I’d used them now for another go on SCUD race” – Stephen.
