Empowering you to vote for the hottest possible new one. That’s GIRL POWER for you. That’s what Germaine Greer was on about in that book of hers.

“In the future”, said Greer, “I can see how all women will be rated in order of perceived attractiveness with the less attractive ones thinned out and disposed of in an old iron bath filled with lime powder so their faces no longer offend men on the internet”.

A shady past in internet pornography is nice, but not essential.

The Keystone Cops are launching another motion controller for their £999,995.95 shitbox at this year’s E3, according to some serious-looking blog.

Then, when Nintendo reveals Wii 2 and its innovative rumbling d-pad for precise and reliable on-screen control, it’ll be back to the DualShock IV.

Cocaine. Prostitutes. Pub lunches every day. Arcade machines set to freeplay in the reception area. There was nothing SEGA couldn’t afford during its early 1990s domination of the Western Hemisphere.

It bought Right Said Fred’s very small amount of dignity, using it in this horrendous video production:

We’ve seen photos of SEGA UFO catcher machines before. But here, exclusively, we present the UFO catcher operating system error message. The submitter cleverly raises the tension by getting gradually closer. If there’s one thing we’ve given the internet, it’s the idea of making dull things seem (but not actually be) slightly more interesting by taking photos from nearer and nearer.

We have just gone downstairs to ask. And yes, mum is proud.

“I saw this SEGA prize machine on Clacton pier Sunday morning looking a bit sorry for itself. It was some kind of never-win-prize-grabby-claw machine with an error message. Poor thing probably didn’t know what is was or where it was… I called out for someone, anyone to help me as it lay dying in my arms but no-one came… no-one cared.”

“Not to worry though, I did in fact win a set of polyester dogs from the grab-a-ball-win-a-prize-nothing-to-do-with-SEGA-machine. Good weekend all round” – Andy.

Reader’s hand visible in reflection. If we zoom in and enhance the image, it might be possible to see what sort of camera – or more likely mobile phone – was used to capture the image.

Definitely a phone. The EXIF data just says “SAMSUNG”.

A well-meaning but ultimately misjudged piece of internal humour.

Fat kid. Energy drink. Games console. There’s a burger in his back pocket and a tuna wrap hidden up his arse in case they didn’t allow food in the venue.

You wouldn’t need so much additional energy from sugar and caffeine if you weren’t lugging 75 additional pounds around with you everywhere.

The Hansoft software engineer has abandoned the neatly-trimmed goatee look and is currently in the process of turning it into a full beard. He intends to keep the neckline relatively hairless.

Facial coverage should be complete by Q3.

Actual numbers. For the UK. PS3 is last. It’s going to stay last. The best Sony can hope for is that it doesn’t finish last by much.

Someone took these photos of Mega Drive Super Monaco Grand Prix. They feature our dear, beloved (NOT IN A GAY WAY) Flag Man. And if you’re waiting for a review of OutRun Online Arcade, stop waiting. It’s the same game as before only without the home mini games and in high-resolution. You don’t need us to tell you that.

BREAKS OUT THE CLICHED BUT SADLY APPLICABLE TEETH JOKE: “Super Monaco for Mega Drive, is it your favourite game? Well it god damn should be because I just found the SEGA Flag Man in it. Maybe you knew he was there all along? Maybe you have some sprite debugger thing that looks through the source code of old games for sprites made of red pixels that flap around like Heath Ledger on prescription meds? I dunno what goes on over there in England, but it’s certainly not brushing your teeth for the majority of your population so I thought I may as well send this to you.”

“I’ve taken pictures with a camera phone of my Cable Ready Teac TV to record the event for future generations. Perhaps in twenty or thrity years people will look back and say: ‘Australia never did get cable, so why did they buy a bucket load of cable ready TVs?'”

“Regardless, this sort of carry on is neither here nor there and certainly not a reflection of the wonderful work you are all doing here on the front line. Poach me a kipper old blighty, because the pics are in the attachment. Your Pal From AustraliaLand” – Brett Bear.

…there is a corresponding negative. It says “Sonic” on the milk shake. Which is why this is up here.
