All hail “Where’s Sonic?” the exciting new web-based Sonic game! Even though it’s rubbish and all you do is click on a square then write down your email address, we’ll still give it 8/10.
You can play it here. Don’t, though. It really isn’t worth it.

This marks a first. We are excited about a wastepaper basket. We are either really old and standing in Habitat looking at wastepaper baskets and wondering what happened to the last 40 years, or… IT’S AN AWESOME SEGA WASTEPAPER BASKET!
Please, scroll down slowly. Don’t spoil it for yourself. The photographs get better as you go down and are best enjoyed slowly.
You think this is good? This is NOTHING. Just wait until you see the other side. This is the side that goes against the wall. This, incredibly, is the shit side…
This is the awesome side!
And it gets better! This bin somehow defies physics and has three increasingly awesome sides. That is, literally, the greatest piece of Sonic The Hedgehog artwork EVER. And it’s been wasted on a fucking bin. It should’ve been painted on Australia so it can be seen from space.
And there’s even a joke to go at the end. Text book reader submission from Andrew Elliott, owner of the world’s greatest wastepaper basket.

American sales figures for August. They make particularly joyous reading, thanks to PS3’s “price cut” making zero difference. It would also appear everyone finally owns a PS2, with that scourge on the last seven years of gaming fading fast.
AMERICAN HARDWARE SALES FOR AUGUST, 2007
Wii: 403, 000
NDS 383,000
360: 276, 000
PS2: 202,000
PSP: 151, 000
PS3: 130, 000
Sony’s rubbish American PR blog is yet to make any comment. We’ll be pressing F5 all day in amused anticipation.

She also looks a bit more attainable now she’s about 37, serving burgers in a diner, and starting to look slightly rough. Facial blemishes plus flabby arms equals greater chance. Definite forward – back – forward + would.
Why, certainly. A kickflip to the nuts would be a pleasure.

Thanks, Atari. Not for any of your games, but for this. Today’s ironic desktop picture of the day, from Wii game My Horse and Me.
It should be My Horse and I. This appalling standard of grammar is why Atari’s in so much shit these days.
There’s nothing we like more than a nice bit of nuzzling.

They’re a bit boring, but there’s one very good one of a neon sign that’s definitely worth the effort of you moving your mouse over to the scroll bar and going down a bit.
FROM THE MAN: “This picture shows a rather impressive full wall graffiti type thing of Sonic. Unfortunately somewhat obscured by my rubbish photography and people having the nerve to stick posters on top of the holy visage.”
“Yokoso SEGA e – Welcome to SEGA. WITH SMILE!”
“I guess the neon tube company didn’t do exclamation marks. This greeted you at the top of the escalator. Wagoo.”

That’s Rez HD, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Ikaruga. All coming to Xbox 360 in some form or other, although the shine is taken off International Happy Day a little by having to wait until 2008 for Ninja Gaiden 2. It is still a very happy day.
Rez HD. Lock-on gameplay returns!
Ninja Gaiden 2 teaser trailer. Actually spine-tingling. Can’t find any new images of Xbox Live Arcade Ikaruga, but every frame of it should be burnt into your memory already. Use one of those.

There are some amazing gems in here, some awesome photographs, a few glaring factual inaccuracies and some staggeringly wrong features. It is SEGA in book form. Enjoy.
Original publisher Grandreams Limited did a fine job. Especially as Wikipedia didn’t exist back then so they clearly had to resort to just making a lot of the stuff up.
This is a shame.
This is… we’re not sure. We’re torn between awesome and suicidally embarrassing for all concerned.
That’s not quite the modern definition of a “happy ending” which, in fact, involves a miserable East European sex worker. But it’s close enough.

It would appear ‘baile funk’ is a type of music the youth are into, according to an email we got. If you don’t get all your new music needs from video game soundtracks, you might know what that means.
We just hope the maker of this shirt has an official license to reproduce his likeness.
FUNKMASTER: “Browsing around searching for some sexy time pics from M.I.A. I’ve found this. Sonic is getting Dancehall/Grime/Baile Funk just by joining forces with her. I just don’t know what to think about this.”

Here’s another scintillating classic. The best thing about our secretly-obtained ultimate collection of classic Sonic artwork is that it also contains hi-res illustrations of the game’s badniks. Here’s a particularly terrifying flashback to the days of Sonic 1…
SONIC DESKTOP #4: MUST… KILL… SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!
Again, this image is supplied “as is”. If you don’t happen to have a monitor that does a native resolution of 1196 x 1362, you’ll have to open it up in Paint and add black bars to the side, or, even worse, zoom in on its eyes and “scale to fit.”
The above two remixes/image clashes were submitted by Australian reader Chris, who thought the last one needed livening up a bit. They are “inspired by the cover art for the album ‘Samba de Janerio’ by Bellini,” apparently, which makes him sound like a bit of a tosspiece but they’re nice enough images regardless.
PREVIOUSLY, ON GREATEST SONIC DESKTOPS:
“SAFE LANDING FROM ROBO CHAOS ZONE!“ “UNDERWATER CRISIS!“ “I’M COMING TO GET YA!“
