A MAN SAW EMILY BOOTH ON XLEAGUE.TV

…and took some photos of the TV screen. There’s no better sign of being an insane lunatic stalker than taking a photo of something on the TV.

It would also appear he has “Sky plussed it” for repeated viewing. We would all do well to learn from this example.

Emily Booth's last-known TV appearance before she mysteriously disappeared

THE EMAIL: “I was flicking round a few TV channels the other day and spotted Emily Booth on xleague.tv. I took a few photos, thinking that you might appreciate them seeing as you’ve not done an update on her in AGES.

THIS IS WHERE IT GETS FRIGHTENING: “Then, while looking through them, I noticed that if you took the two that I’ve sent to you and had them alternating in some sort of animated GIF, that it could be used by the entire nation as an aid to all the celebratory wanking going on these days, what with the downfall of Sony etc. Sorry I didn’t do the aforementioned GIF myself but I’m crap at computers. Cheers, Gary”.

She's holding up well

We have emailed XLEAGUE.TV with a request for an interview with Emily. Hopefully she is not aware of who we are and what we have done about her in the past, and will agree.

FORZA 2 CAR COMPO – THE WINNERS!

Er… this one’s by Captain Jax. This might seem like an in-house UKR stitch up, but it’s not. Check out Mini II. It’s amazing.

Skills. The official UKR Mini. If you want this design, leave a comment on this post and, if you’re lucky, Mr Jax will sort you out. Or sell you one for a million credits.

We have copped out and chosen two winners, as this car’s frankly awesome too. Totally custom Spiel Macht Frei font work, nice colours, just all-round amazing. Again, feel free to use the Comments bit to arrange deals. As we don’t have a forum.

FORZA 2 UKR CAR COMPO – THE MADLY-SKILLED SECOND AND THIRD BEST CARS

Well done, these men. Your talents at warping squares and circles have assured you a place in history. Your patience and dilligence shall be remembered, and recorded within the Google archive for future generations to stumble across while looking for pornography.

Nice deep red. Goes well with the black. We’re not art critics, but that’s one shit-hot-looking car.

Another one by Captain Jax, refining his design skills – and still not his highest placing. We’re not sure how to handle distribution of these cars, by the way, so it’s probably best to negotiate deals yourselves in the Comments bit.

FORZA 2 CAR COMPO – HIGHLY COMMENDED

These are the ones that are very, very good, but still aren’t the best or the winners. More to come. Probably tomorrow now, as it’s getting late and if we spend any more time on the internet today we will BECOME THE INTERNET.

And if we become the internet that means we’ll have to spend all day looking at ourselves instead of Asian teens.

Captain Jax’s first Mini. It’s nice, but Mini II blows it away.

Another cool car, but you’re not winning anything, Mr Default Font User.

Very nice, and particularly well posed photos. But you just wait until whenever it is we bother uploading the rest.

FORZA 2 UKR CAR COMPO – THE LOSERS

These are the “distant runner up” cars that aren’t the winners. They’re nice and the effort is definitely appreciated, but we got some better ones in. Sorry about that. We are especially sorry if you sent the design in on a nicely modified car, too.

We understand if the submitters of the below designs feel the need to sign up an anonymous Blogger account and call us cocks in the Comments bit.

This one’s quite poor. It’s hardly about UKR at all. Where does all that blue-green come from? And the wavy lines? When’s UKR ever been about blue/green wavy lines?

This has a certain Soviet-era simplicity to it. It was good, and the first attempt at doing Sonic – but then we got some better ones.

This one’s good. It was one of the first and looked like being a winner for a while. But isn’t, as we got some better ones later. Which was a relief.

Yes, very funny, covered in Microsoft finger prints JUST LIKE OUR BOTTOMS. This one’s just insolent. We’ll have those better ones later today.

IS THIS YOU?

You there. Round the back with the camera. You’re up to something and it’s not what the event organisers intended.

Don’t say you’re not up to something. We are pretty much always up to something and can spot it in others in a flash.

A man, up to something

But seeing as you’ve gone and done it, you may as well email us the shots. Particularly the ones of the girl number two. At the original resolution.

THE MIRACLE OF THE PAC-MAN CRISP

Hopefully this is an actual miracle, and isn’t just viral marketing for Xbox Live Arcade Pac-Man. Although putting a crisp in a packet and hoping someone finds it and does some news about it is hopeful at best.

The Pac-Man crisp has returned to save us from our crisp-stuffing

THE HOLY FINDER OF THE CRISP SPEAKS: “I ate some crisps today, and one of them looked a little bit like Pac-Man mid-chomp. So I took a picture and sent it to you in a pointlessly high resolution, as the summer’s coming and you might need something for a really slow news day. The crisps were “McCoys Jackets” and were Melted Cheese and Ham flavour, but they tasted more of fat and MSG. The Pac-Crisp tasted the same as the others. Jim”.

ADDING TO THE SEGA ISN'T DEAD THEME

Here’s an email we got, including hi-res digital photos and well labeled captions for each picture. It also included a scene-setting introductory paragraph. It is the exact kind of email that makes updating the site more fun – ie, it makes updating the site take only two minutes.

THE SCENE-SETTING INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH:
“Just to add to the SEGA isn’t dead theme, thought I’d send you pics of an even bigger SEGA place in Okayama, Joypolis. Just think! It’ll look like SEGA is in the middle of its glory days or something if there are two whole updates about it.”

“Look how big it is! It has arcades, bowling and karaoke, all with Sonic! (best to ignore a large part of it is restaurants). Look at the red archway you drive under to the parking area! It says Joyful Town! And if you look closely at the Joypolis sign it says…”

“…Legend of SEGA! Don’t know what Dendo for Amusement means though.”

“Look! Sonic is everywhere! Big signs on the wall! Small signs on the street! Sonic Karaoke promises hip hop, reggae, soul, rock, jazz and techno. Even better, inside they had the best version of OutRun possible…”

“…it’s four cars next to each other, with two steering wheels so you can play with a friend if you have one. There are cameras in your car which show your faces up on the screen, but as you can tell, only one weird looking guy was playing it by himself.”

“I actually played this with a ‘girl’ and it is great. The control switches every so often so it’s exciting, and later you can laugh about how much fun it was while touching her arm to associate good feelings with you in her mind. Finally they had…”

“…SEGA Driving School! Although if the standard of driving is anything to go by it just teaches you to pull out in front of cars while deliberately not looking in their direction and pretending you haven’t seen them.”

TOMORROW'S PR DISASTER, TODAY

Sony America has started a PlayStation “blog” and it is allowing people to leave “comments”.

This PlayStation blog is a great idea! Love from UKR xx

Let’s hope nothing bad happens.
