WHAT'S THIS THE PROMOTIONAL IMAGE FOR?

Can you guess? It’s all very, very lifestyle. We’ve hidden the real product behind a bag of frozen peas.

Not frozen peas

It’s not for frozen peas. This isn’t an elaborate double bluff.

Not ladies shoes

It’s not for ladies shoes.

It’s not for make-up or high-grade narcotics.

It’s not for jewellery.

Not Lily Allen clothes

It’s not for Lily Allen’s new range of dresses.

Not for the Bloqwelda kitchen chair

It’s not for Ikea.

For PSP!

It is, incredibly, for Sony’s PSP!

Yes, for PSP :(

Look at it there. That’s a PSP you can just about see a bit of. Click on it for the amazing full-resolution shame of it all.

Ironic? Or just German?

The others involve men :(((

And there’s three other sets we’re saving for later.

WHO'S GOING TO JAPAN NEXT?

Because it’s quite important we get a SEGA TOYS Dream Cat Smile, which has just launched this week. By “quite important” we mean it’s all we’re going to think about until we get one, play with it for two minutes, feel very disappointed, then put it away in a cupboard until we next move house and throw it away.

Here are some videos of it we have just shamelessly stolen off some other blog.

Come on, you lot are always flying out there on a whim to meet someone who may or may not be a girl you’ve been chatting to on MSN for all of five minutes. Put it in that empty suitcase you’re taking with you in the hope of finding ten boxed copies of Samba De Amigo and 20 Radiant Silverguns to bring back and sell.

The blog we nicked all these videos off said it costs about 70 dollars, so we’ll give you 50 quid to bring one back. And one of the several thousand UKR t-shirts we’ve got left. OK, 55 quid and no t-shirt.

This will go nicely next to the Homestar in the UKR SEGA Dream (wanking) Room (IMPORTANT: Please knock before entering).

JUST TO REITERATE…

The perfect image. When t-shirt printing technology improves and it’s possible to do full-colour prints for 50p a unit, we’ll be knocking them out with this on for a tenner a time.

Don’t care if it’s male or female. We just want to shake it by the hand and say thanks for a full 32 hours of sniggering.

GLOBAL SEGA/SONIC THE HEDGEHOG ACTIVITY, WEEK ENDING SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 2007

This is the current depressing state of the UKR email inbox. One photo of an unofficial Sonic painting endorsing a Brazilian game store, a man with a tattoo that looks a bit like a Dreamcast logo, plus a weird transexual Sonic cosplay photo that probably deserves an update all of its own – and a criminal investigation into its origins.

Jogos: Games, in whatever language the Brazil people do

WHO WOULD THINK ABOUT THIS? “A store of video games in the city of Recife, Brazil. Sonic announcing games of PlayStation, who would think about this!”

Spiral of life

COSTA DEL TWAT: “I was on holiday in Spain and saw this dude walking around with a Dreamcast logo on his back. Although I generally avoid taking photographs of topless blokes, I found this funny. I’m guessing he didn’t realise it was a Dreamcast logo and he thought it was just some artsy shit. But anyway, thought you might like to take the piss out of it. Cheers, Chris.”

Sonic cosplayer - genital configuration UNKNOWN

This one arrived with no explanation. Which is annoying, as it’s the one that most needs explaining, particularly about if it’s a boy or a girl under that embarrassing mess. It’s unlikely to matter in the long term, though, as the chances of anyone being interested in the genital configuration of a Sonic cosplayer are extremely remote. We’re going for girl, as they would appear to be the flabby, untoned upper arms of a female gamer.

Here it is again, just in case you missed it or your eyes/brain blocked it out.

PGR4 LOOKS FUCKING AMAZING.

PGR4 Looks fucking amazing. Even on this shaky handheld video shot at that GC thing it still looks fucking amazing. There will probably be a proper direct feed video available soon which will no doubt look even more fucking amazing and make it difficult for us to contain ourselves. This is all confirmed “in game” stuff aswell. It definitely looks better than Gran Turismo 5 which looks cold and clinical and has rubbish trees and doesn’t have fucking amazing rain and snow effects either and hasn’t made everyone say “Whoah, awesome” like most of the people who’ve seen this new PGR4 video.

A VERY SHY MAN TOOK SOME PHOTOS OF BOOTH BABES AT GAMES CONVENTION

He either stood too far away, behind them, too far away and behind them, or pointed the camera mainly at the floor. This is a classic case of a boy attempting a man’s job.

This isn’t really “taking a photo of a booth babe” – it’s stalking a woman going about her everyday business in the street. Look, that’s her suitcase, not an NVIDIA promotional carrier bag.

They’re far away, and the thing they were doing has finished.

What if she turned around? It’s one thing going up to a woman and asking if you can take her photo – that’s quite normal at a trade show. But taking one from behind and quite far away just makes you look extremely odd.

Shy man booth babe gallery

This one sort of delivers, but we’d need to see the front of it before coming to any firm conclusion.

Classic shy man photo. Don’t want to lift the camera up too much, or someone might think you’re actually taking a photograph.

Far away, from behind. 2/10.

Shy man booth babe gallery

Not only is this far away and from behind, the angle of the shot suggests he’s even up on a different level looking over the edge! This isn’t much better quality than you’d get from just zooming in on the show’s location on Google Maps.

Really far away. And with a man in the way for added safety.

They’re not even on duty! The biggest trade show faux pas you can make is attempting to interact with the booth staff while they’re on a break. They’re allowed a break because of laws, and would rather spend it smoking and slagging people like us off, not talking to us and trying to stop us taking photos up their dresses.

Finally – a great shot. That man has stopped in his tracks just to stare at the front of a woman. He may even have his cock in his left hand, such is his unashamed ogling.

SONICOM ENTERPRISES IS ON RATHER SHAKY LEGAL GROUND

But then we’re not in much of a position to throw accusations of illegality around, what with the vast back-catalogue of libel we’re technically considered to be the owners/publishers of.

Sonicom Enterprises!

FROM FOREIGNLAND: “Hello UK:R! Here are some pictures of a local shop here in Brunei Darussalam that has Sonic on their store sign! Hope you like them! Justin.”

They’ve used the Sonic 3 artwork. This means any task you ask Sonicom Enterprises to do will take ages, cost too much, and they’ll have to come back in a year to finish it properly.

Sonicom Enterprises is basically one man with a screwdriver, a PC and a printer. A bit like SEGA Europe was in 2001.

NOKIA IS TIRED, OLD, AND JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS

Like a polar bear that just lies there wanking onto its tummy all day in a zoo. As well as the REALLY BAD IDEA of bringing back N-Gage, Nokia’s also decided to innovate in the online gaming world. By doing Xbox Live. By literally stealing Xbox Live off Microsoft and doing it on a phone.

Nokia N95 and Xbox Li...

The use of the term ‘N-Gage Points’ shows they couldn’t be bothered in the slightest. We feel like congratulating them on being so blatantly tired of it all. They know it’s still not going to work, so what’s the point?

IRONY, HONESTY, OR JUST A RUBBISH IDEA?

So hard to tell these days what with all the ‘marketing’. It’s Sony’s PS3 stand at Disappointment Fest 2007, aka the Leipzig Games Convention, where a few miserable Englishmen got sent to the German equivalent of Croydon to play some rubbish games. The PS3 area’s theme was, appropriately enough, “toilet”.

PS3 won't flush

KEYWORDS: Japanese, toilet, photo, woman, girl, feet, German, piss.

DEVASTATING DEVELOPMENTS IN LEIPZIG

How could he do this? HOW COULD HE? Sonic even manages a smile as he stabs us all in the back. The little SHIT. He’s laughing at us, laughing at our happy memories, laughing at the fat pay cheque written out in the blood of his loyal followers and thinking of all the orange rabbit prostitutes he can now afford.

At least Mario has a spazzy lobster claw for a hand. Sonic is still best in one way.

SONIC/MARIO LOVE-IN DEVASTATION

MAN IN GERMANY SAYS: “While visiting Leipzig recently, I saw Mario and Sonic TOGETHER. They were CROSS PROMOTING that awful Mario and Sonic Olympics game. It made me sad to watch the screen and see them racing against each other. Even worse was that they’d made the game totally unrealistic by allowing Sonic to actually lose. At one point Sonic was being beaten in the 100m sprint by FAT FUCK Mario and a stupid giant lizard thing! Sorry about the poor light quality on the picture, I was too upset to operate the flash. Mike.”
