SOMETHING ELSE WE HAVE IN COMMON WITH SEGA

Sega Amusements Europe has employed a pretty girl! And it’s so happy about this it sent out a press release and photo – for which they made her wear hot pants.

When we expand UKR and get an office we’ll DEFINITELY only employ hot women and make them wear hot pants, like it’s still the 1960s when you were allowed to do stuff like that and they had no choice but to let you pinch their bottoms else you could sack them.

Ruby Jones! We'll be able to guess her email address in less than 100 goes

It’s political correctness gone right.

SEGA’S ACTUAL PRESS RELEASE ABOUT EMPLOYING A WOMAN:

Show Me Your Ball Skills!
Sega Amusements Europe’s expanding promotions team has landed a beauty with a potential Miss U.K. now on the team! Ruby Jones who is assisting the company promoting WCCF is a Brighton finalist in the contest.

Sega’s promo team now covers the UK, Spain and Germany with around 30 members to hand, emphasising the dedication and importance the company gives to supporting its products in the market place.

Since the appointment of Mark Beauchamp as Promotions Executive in February, Sega has built up the team to support WCCF from point of installation training staff through to running tournaments and doing tutorial sessions for players.

Mark commented “Naturally her talents are drawing the crowds and helping WCCF players enjoy the game! Her football knowledge is superb, and whilst many players just need an intro into the game, others like the detail that she can give about the games finer intricacies”.

The company confirms that WCCF is going from strength to strength with installations occurring weekly across Europe still and a growing fan base using the official forum at www.segawccf.com and the unofficial one www.wccf-forum.co.uk

A DULL REMINDER ABOUT THOSE UKR T-SHIRTS WE MADE

Now that it’s warm out, you might want to buy one. Even pale geeks need to stop wearing grey fleeces in the summertime. If you’re thinking of risking getting your arms out and letting people see the shape of your body, go here and buy one.

We’ve made them 15 quid including postage which is a bit cheaper than they were, as we’re bored of them now, need the cupboard space for putting women in, and want to get rid of them so we can make some new ones people like more or at least hate less.

See how we're cynically marketing these on the hottest days of the year

This is the best one, really. It’s best because it’s in a normal colour (blue). It’s apparently a good conversation starter at parties and barbecues, and one man even said some girls started talking to him about it which lead to him losing his virginity.

Sega didn't sue us

This one is second best, out of two. So it’s sort of the worst. We have no idea why we made it on ‘teal’ or aquamarine. It must’ve looked better in the printers. Next time we’ll just do one in black for all the fat/shy people.

THINGS WE LEARNED DURING THE WHOLE T-SHIRT MAKING AND SELLING PROCESS:

  • Nobody likes teal/aquamarine
  • Launch jumpers in January, not t-shirts
  • Make them black for all the fat/shy people
  • You can’t carry 200 home on your own
  • We have three female readers we didn’t know about!
  • People are scared about wearing gang-referencing t-shirts in South London, East London, West London and North London, plus the rest of the United Kingdom, Europe, America and Australasia.

    “AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT”

    It’s more VersusTV and Vixen means the Dreamcast and a Dreamcast game! We thought girls like this had all died out (at our hands).

    She then ruins it loads and makes us lose our erection by talking about Tekken 5 for ages, then the Tekken 5 loading screens, then how there’s a “Customise” option where you can customise your character. You could say she loses focus a bit. Still, all we’re thinking about is “Wow, she has a Dreamcast!!” so we’re guilty of losing focus too.

    She also plays Sonic Rush in another one. If we were to ever meet her, we could fill in all the awkward silences by talking about Sonic Rush. We could ask what her favourite level is, then say “Oh” and that would be a conversation with a girl! We would then write the time and date down in the notebook we have where we list all the times we’ve spoken to girls.

    Watching this other one is like actually having a girlfriend! She’s rambling on about something for ages, and all we’re doing is wishing she’d shut up and let us concentrate on watching the telly.

    It’s quite interesting to see what happens when you just leave a girl talking on her own for ages. They literally go quite mental! Here, she’s started playing a Tamagotchi game and is listing the kinds of shops in it! There’s a cleaners where you get to wash and iron clothes, for example!

    We still like Siren, even though she said on her forum that UKR “is certainly very predictable” and that “you just want them to do something to surprise you rather than running over the same old ‘we’re so UN-Politically Correct it hurts’ stuff… y’know?” which is actually quite a fair point that we’ll seriously take on board.

    “BTW”, this isn’t stalking if you’re one of their boyfriends or the police, as they actually put the videos up on the internet themselves for us to watch, so we’re allowed to watch them and probably even allowed to pause and rewind them and watch certain bits again 100 times. We’re also not saying it’s rubbish, as we love watching their work. It’s mesmerising!

    In fact, Versus TV is the BEST THING ON THE INTERNET right now. Please make more of it and please can we be in it as special guest stars one day. We’re much more polite in real life and will practise what we’re going to say beforehand so we come across as funny and interesting.

    EXTREMELY BAD NEWS ABOUT LUMINES II

  • Black Eyed Peas – “Pump It”

    :(

  • A NEW SEGA TOYS TOY THING!

    It’s called a Mu-Bot and it looks like a baby! This could be the only way we ever get to have something like a baby, seeing as you can buy it from the shops and it doesn’t require making a woman like you and think she wants to have sex with you and be friends with you for at least nine months first.

    Sega Toys Mu-Bot

    We’ll call ours Katie, and pretend it’s a little girl. But if Katie doesn’t grow out of listening to iPods we’ll beat little Katie until she fucking learns. This is what we’ve learned about how children work from reading news on the internet.

    SEGA's iPod link-up hame :(

    BAD KATIE. KATIE MUST STAY IN HER ROOM. KATIE WILL NOT HAVE ANY DINNER UNTIL SHE STOPS LIKING iPODS. KATIE WILL GET SHAKEN AND HIT UNTIL THE COUNCIL TAKES KATIE AWAY. OH NO. POOR KATIE. WHAT HAVE WE DONE? WE WILL CRY ON YOUR BIRTHDAY AND WONDER WHERE YOU ARE.

    THIS IS WHERE THE PARTY IS HAPPENING!

    It’s a small tent. In Germany. Full of Xbox 360s playing FIFA World Cup. And it’s dark out. And the only two women in attendance have gone outside to talk to more interesting people on their mobile phones, which is what strangely happens when we’re near women too.

    When marketing cross-promotion goes bad

    We just wanted to share this photograph. There is no funny caption. There could NEVER be a funny caption about this, not even if the writers of Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Larry David got together and worked on it for a whole month.

    ‘THE SONIC FRUIT MACHINE IS RIGHT AT THE BACK’

    That’s what the man said, but we still made him take some photos of it anyway because it’s a thing with Sonic on that we’ve never seen:

    Sonic fruit machine

    To this day, we still don’t understand how fruit machines work. Why, for example, is that bit flashing and saying ‘multiplier’? What button do you press now? There are never any instructions on them. How do people learn these things? Is it the sort of skill you only learn in prison, like how to hotwire a car and how to make methamphetamine from household products?

    Sorry this is such a boring update

    Eight pounds was probably quite a lot of money in 1992. We can’t remember, due to being really young. Like, maybe only 20 or 21 if Vixen, Siren or any girls on MySpace want to know.

    IT’S LIKE THEY’RE ACTUALLY ASKING FOR IT

    Some new girl gaming clan mash-up splinter-group side-project thing involving everyone’s favourite Frag Doll and some other girl thing we recognise from a million internet forums has sent in a video clip of them wearing sexy gloves and looking at the camera – as if they might be looking at us!

    This kind of reverse anticipatory stalking is confusing and has put us on the defensive. Still, we’ll power through as it’s pictures of girls:

    It’s Vixen and Siren. It must be confusing being a girl on the internet and keeping track of all the pretend names you have to use to stop men finding you and killing you. They say they’re going to tell us what games to play. At least this time it won’t just be the UbiSoft back catalogue.

    The game we’re thinking of playing at the moment is Put The Sausage In That One’s Mouth While That One Feels Our Bottom And Says We’re Really Nice And Funny. You can see them ACTUALLY WALKING AND TALKING LIKE THEY’RE LOOKING AT YOU here.

    AND THERE’S A PROPER GALLERY THEY MADE PROBABLY JUST FOR US BECAUSE THEY SECRETLY THINK WE’RE REALLY COOL:
    The proper gallery.

    The fantasy scenario we’ve built up in our heads around the above photo is this: They’re both trying to look as sexy as possible to make us like them, and if there’s no clear winner we can have both.

    PETER MOORE’S XBOX 360 PR DISASTER

    Hugging a man in a Portugal strip, while wearing a Portugal scarf. Disgusting. Xbox 360 is now dead in England.

    Moore in PR nightmare

    If you need to ask why, don’t and just go away.

    AN IDEA WE’VE JUST HAD!

    We’ve had an amazing idea! We’re starting our own girl gaming group that won’t be shit like all the other girl gaming groups!
    We’ve even drawn a logo:
