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.

Dr ROBOTNIK’S INGREDIENTS REVEALED

“Quick, Sonic! The thermostat! Turn it up to 26 degrees and melt him!”

Spotted by reader “Orta” who was taken out for the day and allowed to have an ice cream.

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.

MAN GETS INCREMENTALLY CLOSER TO SEGA VISION

Surely someone, somewhere, has manipulated the weak, arthritic grip of the machine well enough to win a SEGA Vision by now? Or are they chained up inside these idiot-catcher machines as a lure never to be won? The box could even be empty for all we know, as a clever homage to the SEGA of today.

“I was at Taybarns tonight (a semi-posh all you can eat buffet type place) when I spotted an actual SEGA Vision, all wrapped up and pretty, within one of those ‘Pile Up’ machines where you have to stack little blocks to win. I don’t even think you can even buy one anywhere (although there is one on eBay at the moment for £80) so naturally I scared the children next to me by jumping up and down, screaming ‘It’s SEGA VISION!’ and managed to ‘discreetly’ take a few photos.”

“I only had my camera phone, so apologies for the crappy quality. I’ll try and go back there some time and take better pictures.”

“I also saw a picture of Sonic outside a car license plate shop, I’ll promise to take a picture and send that next time” – Tru.

MORE FACTS ABOUT THE ‘FONZ’

Everything we miss about the old world. EVERYTHING! Well, the only two things – SEGA hardware and acceptable corporate sexism. Can someone who lives in America see what’s left at 2550 Santa Fe Avenue, please? Thanks.

“Susie? Can you wear something sexy tomorrow, love? We’ve got a photographer coming in. Those hotpants you wore last Friday would do. Ta, sweetheart” *A FAT MAN PATS SUSIE’S BOTTOM. SUSIE SMILES IN FEAR OF VIOLENCE OR LOSING HER JOB*

“Oh, and Susie? Can you meet me up in the stationary room in five? I need help with some… labels” *SUSIE SMILES AND NODS IN FEAR OF VIOLENCE OR LOSING HER JOB*
