A FRENCHMAN HAS ALL THE SONIC POGZ

And the mighty Sonic pogz have some mighty fine retro Sonic artwork on them, from back when SEGA didn’t try so hard to be cool – and was therefore a million times cooler.

Genius war propaganda. Mock the enemy. Ha ha, look how stupid he is! Next time we fight him we won’t be so scared!

Tails, as ever, looks suitably retarded.

“Dear everyone at UK:R, I found these some weeks ago: Sonic pogz. God knows why I kept them all these years, but you seem to have quite a fondness for the blue hedgehog, so I thought, maybe you’d like to have a look at them. Four reasons why you could like these pogz: (1) They have Sonic characters from the 2D era all over them. (2) They’re plastic pogz, not rubbish cardboard ones. (3) You can connect them to build stuff. (4) They also GLOW IN THE DARK (which, in my opinion, is the bestest thing about them).

“Best of all, if you want them, I’ll post them to you. Free. Because you are the greatest SEGA worshipers of them all… if you are the kind of Anglais who have nothing against stuff coming from France, of course. Just give me your address. Yours sincerely, JF Capdevielle, biggest UK:R French fan ever ever.”

In all their majesty. And thanks for the offer, JF, but we’ve reached that stage in life where it’s becoming just a little bit embarrassing to sleep in a bedroom surrounded by plush toys and merchandise of cartoon characters.

THE ABSOLUTE SHAME OF SONY'S 40GB PS3

Sony’s 10 year plan is really taking shape – after seven months on sale in Europe, release a low-spec, cut-down, cheaper model to avert a total sales disaster. No doubt this course of action was planned out in Tokyo, back in 2004, as part of Sony’s amazing Ten Year Third Reich of gaming.

Un-be-freaking-lievable. This just makes launch day buyers look even more monumentally fuckwitted. Bend over, PS3 owners, you’ve officially been shafted.

PS3 40GB PIKEY PACK

That’s just over 300 quid. Cheaper, but don’t forget to set another 30 quid aside so you can buy a rumbling controller in 2008. Truly despicable.

NiGHTS IN SICK BOTTOM-TOUCHING SHAME

This is NiGHTS on Wii. NiGHTS would seem to have a bit of a fetish for touching the bottoms of very large birds. It’s quite a disgusting sight.

Wii NiGHTS and bottom-touching

He’s not shy about getting in there. Perhaps he’s just consumed six pints of Stella? That’s usually the minimum requirement for touching the bottoms of big birds.

At least he’s wearing white surgical gloves.

He ought to roll his sleeves up first, though.

*UPDATE* BRAND NEW ADULT PROFESSIONAL HEDGEHOG MASCOT COSTUME

Our new best and most frightening friend “Andy The Squirrel” managed to get EXCLUSIVE side and, crucially, rear shots of that horrendously frightening Chinese Sonic costume rip-off.

Ideal for job interviews, weddings, parties, lonely suicides...

We have requested Andy gets a video of the seller dancing in it to “illustrate the mobility” of the suit.

A man dressed like Sonic was arrested today, for...

At least there isn’t a hole cut in it allowing easy access to the anal area. Although there probably should be. The costume is still for sale.

PS3 – CAN IT GET ANY WORSE?

It’s been revealed that 55% of the total sales of PS3 were in the first four weeks. Which again makes us highly suspicious about that ‘record’ opening weekend where PS3 was allegedly the fastest selling console ever. Sony are now resorting to even more drastic measures by releasing a pointless 40gb version of the console – so desperate are they to get something on the shelves at a less than extortionate price. Not that it well help with the lack of any decent games.

THINGS CURRENTLY OUTSELLING PS3:

Package holidays to Baghdad
Jade Goody’s perfume
The Thick of it – Series 1 DVD
CRT Televisions
Nokia N-Gage

BRAND NEW ADULT PROFESSIONAL HEDGEHOG MASCOT COSTUME

Yours on eBay for about 80 quid. This was sent in by a man who calls himself “Andy The Squirrel” so was no doubt discovered while in a “furry” wanking/browsing session. Which takes a little bit of the shine off the discovery, to be honest.

Sonic full body immersion wanking kit

SEGA really ought to knock out official ones. There’s clearly a market for full-body SEGA immersion suits.

IT'S TIME TO START GETTING EXCITED ABOUT SOUL CALIBUR IV

For entirely predictable reasons. Reasons to do with Japanese artists, who, when left to their own devices, turn feral and do drawings like this:

Ivy, from Soul Calibur, and her massive tits

Twice the size of her head? Only in the video games industry, where men work in single-sex offices away from the calming influence of women, could this get drawn and approved for global distribution.

Sophitia, from Soul Calibur, and her massive tits

You know a special alternate version of this exists on the artist’s hard drive. And now, after three hours of Photoshop work, on our hard drive too.

RICHARD JACQUES AND HIS AMAZING HORN

We got an email from Richard Jacques! He very kindly added us to the BCC list of media outlets he wanted to tell about his forthcoming appearance at this year’s Video Games Live show in London.

Richard will be playing jazz piano with an amazing horn. Section.

Richard Jacques - amazing horn CONFIRMED

He used the word “dear” which clearly implies affection.

BBC USES KILLZONE 2 TO PROMOTE HALO 3

Just when you think games are getting important enough for people to actually know what they’re talking about, this happens.

46 seconds in. That bit where they’re on the floating platform. That’s Killzone 2. Now we know all modern games are about shit-boring bald space marines that all look and act the same, but it’s still quite the embarrassment.

REASONS TO BE GRATEFUL SEGA EXISTED #1: ULALA COSPLAYERS

Even five years on, bitches are still tolerating impractical shoes and talcing themselves into plastic so YOU can get vaguely aroused looking at photos of them while in the office.

Taken from Joystiq’s pleasing high resolution TGS Gallery.

5/10

Actually, this link is better, as it lets you see all the thumbnails so you can just click on the ones of women. This one’s not very happy about it and knows this photo’s going straight onto the internet, where it will be met with a rather frosty reception.
