Hey there, Sega Scouts! You’ve all been busy! We’ve had loads of email, and for once it isn’t all about buying Viagra from India, or getting a billion pounds from Nigeria, or removing that libellous update we did about that shit thing your company makes.

We’ve had emails about Sega! And games! And other things people think are the sort of things we might like to do updates about.

Anyone who’s emailed us something is now officially a UKR SEGA NEWS SCOUT. You may download this badge and display it on your blogjournalspace with pride:

Making text go in a circle in Photoshop is an exciting new thing we’ve just learned how to do. Here are the things we’ve been sent by the UKR SEGA NEWS SCOUTS recently:

THING ONE: FAKE PSP PROMOTIONAL VIDEO

“Hi UKR”

“This was up for a while ago but only via torrent — now it’s available via the magic of Google Video, wheeee! enjoy!”

FAKE PSP PROMOTIONAL VIDEO

THING TWO: A PIECE OF ‘NEW GAMES JOURNALISM’ POSTED ON IGN, OF ALL PLACES, WHICH WE WERE PRESUMABLY SUPPOSED TO RIP THE PISS OUT OF

“I thought it would be ripped to shreds already!”

‘NEW GAMES JOURNALISM’ POSTED ON IGN

THING THREE: ‘SEGA MUSIC’ WIKIPEDIA ENTRY

“Hi guys.”

“You may have already seen this and posted about it, but just in case you haven’t…”

‘SEGA MUSIC’ WIKIPEDIA ENTRY

“The music’s traditional form was largely improvised and was intensely emotional. It was also used as a funereal dirge and as part of traditional exorcisms.”

“Who knew SEGA had such magical powers?”

“Look at the woman dancing the SEGA too!”

“If you’ve already seen this and are already bored to tears of random peple sending this to you, then feel free to bin this immediatly…”

THING FOUR: ANCIENT SAKURA TAISEN ADVERT FROM JAPAN

ANCIENT SAKURA TAISEN ADVERT FROM JAPAN

“Had to pass this on”

THING FIVE: SEGA TOYS ‘MAKE-UP GAME FOR GIRLS’ COMING TO AMERICA

“Radica, the company that makes these stand-alone joystick only titles has signed a deal with Sega.”

HONG KONG–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Feb. 9, 2006–Radica Games Limited (NASDAQ:RADA) has announced a partnership with Sega Toys (a subsidiary of Sega(R) Corporation) to develop, manufacture and distribute Digi Makeover, one of the most anticipated toys to debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York City, February 12-15. Designed for today’s young teen girls, Digi Makeover includes a makeup case-styled touch pad with digital camera that plugs directly into the TV and lets girls take their picture and get creative with their very own makeover, including makeup, hairstyles and accessories.

Digi Makeover is expected to hit retail shelves in the fall of 2006 and will retail for approximately $59.99.

According to Jim Silver, editor of Toy Wishes Magazine, Radica’s Digi Makeover was one of the most talked-about products when industry experts saw it last October. “If the execution is done well and there aren’t any major problems with it, I can see it being a big hit this fall,” he says.

“Sega Toys continues to be a dominant force in interactive entertainment,” says Pat Feely, CEO, Radica. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with them and bring their innovative technology to this
product.”

Isao Kokubun, president and CEO, Sega Toys notes, “As a leader in girls’ lifestyle products, Radica is an important partner to bring the concept of digital makeovers to the retail marketplace.”

THING SIX: ANOTHER ASTOUNDING COMPLAINT ABOUT THE RETRO GAMING FEATURE, ONLY IT READS SO POORLY WE SUSPECT IT MIGHT BE A FAKE (AND IF IT ISN’T A FAKE WE GENUINELY FEEL A BIT SORRY FOR THE AUTHOR)

“Your Retro Special is a defilement to 1000’s of gamers world wide. To act like the old should of never existed only means that you have no respect to what brought games to what they are. BACK THEN and AT THE TIME, those games were top of the line in not only entertainment, but even technology. International Karate, along with Street FIghter 2, Mortal Konbat, and many more has given the fighting games of today a platform of exsistence. WIthout them, you may never even see your damned VF4 (another thing: VF4 is made up from the improvement of 3 other game before it. You wouldn’t have VF4 without even those 3 games).”

“Games like FFVII, Sonic 2, and Driver were the cream of the corn. They were the at the top, and the pinical, or the gaming stages before all else came along. Without FFVII, or even Final Fantasy 1! There may not even be a strong base for any existence of good RPG.”

“As for other poiints, sex in games was never a strong point outside of the virgin 18 year old players. Noone really cared for 1000 polygon girls as much as they did with the 200 pixel failure of Sam Fox Strip Poker. Cause they are all into real things, honestly.”

“oh, and the lack of back light during the Gameboy days. This factor was to cut to damn cost. Really good for those short on cash, cause those things like the GameGear failed based on eye hazzard, and for cost. the Back Light screens of the GBA sp and DS are a invention of price reduction in the economy. If you gaming in your hands for the go that wasn’t over 500 buck to have back in 1995, you’d never be bitching about the Gameboy not having a light. You’d have a flash light shoved in your mouth while under the bed sheets playing Pokemon for the 150th catch.”

“For fuck sacks, you’re got it made in the fucking sun with gamign to day. Respect the past, cause it’s hardships gave you this golden shove that is surgecly embedded in your ass!”

This is not an MTV commersial…

THING SEVEN: SOMETHING ABOUT ENTIRELY FABRICATED GIRL GAMING CLAN THE FRAG DOLLS (U.S.)

“I don’t know if we’re supposed to send in news about the Entirely Fabricated Girl Gaming Clan The Frag Dolls to you anymore in case you’re tired of the Entirely Fabricated Girl Gaming Clan The Frag Dolls.

“Just in case though, here’s a link where the writer appears to be unsure what’s sexier, Entirely Fabricated Girl Gaming Clan The Frag Dolls member “Rhoulette” or shooting Nazis in planes.”

SOMETHING ABOUT ENTIRELY FABRICATED GIRL GAMING CLAN THE FRAG DOLLS (U.S.)

“There, that’s got to be a contender for most extraneous mention of Entirely Fabricated Girl Gaming Clan The Frag Dolls yet!”

THING EIGHT: A LINK TO SOME BBC RESEARCH ON ‘GAMING’

“…whereby anyone who has accidently played a mobile game instead of pressing the shortcut for sending a text, or lent on the red button of their remote and played an interactive TV game in the last 6 months qualifies as a ‘gamer’.”

“Other highlights:”

“Playing a game of any sort once a week or more makes you a heavy user.”

“Sega Dreamcast is more popular than Sony PSP across the 6-35 year old age range.”

“66% of 6-10 year olds have played interactive TV games in the last 6 months. This is more than Xbox, Gamecube, Dreamcast and PSP put together. And more than mobile games.”

BBC RESEARCH ON ‘GAMING’

“I’m sure you could squeeze an update out of this report. And feel free to crib any of what I’ve written.”

THING NINE: SOMEONE’S COLLECTION OF BOOTH BABE PHOTOS:

“Now that the subject of the E3 booth babes is all over the Internet, here is a link to my annual boot babe pictorial to add to your list – the best to be found anywhere – every year – eight years running!”

BOOTH BABE PHOTOS

THING TEN: A LINK TO A WEB SITE THAT SELLS ‘INTERCHANGABLE RECTAL UNITS’

‘INTERCHANGABLE RECTAL UNITS’

“There’s got to be a joke in there somewhere, I’m sure.”

What a fitting way to end. Keep them coming, Scouts!

Download all the stuff you used to watch as a child, and stop yourself from mourning one more element of your youth as you are faced with the stark choice of choosing between:

A) The DVD boxed set special edition of A Sequence of Unfortunate Events with added scenes and commentaries, or

B) An agonisingly slow BBC production in which a team of impossibly curly-haired child actors are aghast at being sent to live in a sleepy seaside town with their Great Uncle Portmeirion, but become involved in a magical adventure which involves being chased around a school playing field by an old man with a long nose called WitchPrick.

Occasionally there would be a puppet.

We’ve been sent this photograph:

…along with an email that claims he is the real-life face of the OutRun 2006 “Flag Man”. We’re assured it’s not true, but you have to respect the man for trying.

This is the email:

We really hope there is a man called Javier Sanchez out there, and that he really is a shopping mall security guard, and that he really has been lying to his friends about being in OutRun 2006.

Javier, if you are reading this, it’s very important you email us. It’s to do with us being BEST FRIENDS.

You can download her new film Evil Aliens “off of” Bittorrent right now, in the background, while you’re reading this and massaging yourself erect in preparation for the inevitable artistically justified sexy scenes.

She does stuff like this in it.

And stuff like this!

Stealing small, independent British movies off the internet feels like a quite bad thing to do…

…but they shouldn’t go putting Emily Booth and her tits in them if they don’t want us to download them. They’re asking for it!

So is she. Begging for lumpy, three-headed alien cock.

But she never gets them properly ‘out’. 2/10 “Disappointing” – UKR

It’s the ‘Beena’ from Sega Toys. Sort of a better Pico (the Pico was sort of a better PlayStation2 with more interesting games). Let’s all import one from Japan and convince ourselves it’s really brilliant!

Grooming a new generation to love Sega.

SEGA Toys ‘Beena’

These images MOCK US. These disgraceful illustrations HEAP SHAME upon the internet. These SICK CARTOONS are EVIL. Those in the Western states who publish such images SHALL BE CLEANSED DURING THE NEXT HOLY WAR. All who look upon such images are INFIDELS who deserve to BURN IN THE FIRES OF ETERNAL DAMNATION.

The DEPICTIONS OF EVIL must NEVER be reproduced. Hosting such files is an INSULT TO ALL THAT IS GLORIOUS. And they are not funny.

Oh no, hang on, it’s sold out again.

No wait! They’ve got another one! Oh no, it’s gone again. This particularly inept piece of sign-writing is from Woolworths, which is where people go to work after even McDonalds and the London Underground has said no. We stole some pick and mix and a magazine then left in disgust.

He said that people who weren’t into his ‘breakbeat’ style might like to try his Starship Troopers medley from the PC game instead.

He also said some personal things just to us. And his mobile phone number was in his email signature, probably because he wants us to text him photos of our genitals (we’ll do it tomorrow, as we’ll have to shave our pubes off tonight to make it look bigger).

The Richard Jacques Starship Troopers Medley [8.7MB]

It’s posh orchestral music, so don’t download it if you don’t like orchestral music. It’s 8.7MB which is a lot to download if you’re only going to disinterestedly listen to the first 20 seconds and think to yourself “this is shit” and then skip to Franz Ferdinand or Akon.

NOTES FOR AMERICAN READERS:
Orchestral music is stuff like the theme to Star Wars. You know, with violins and trumpets and shit. There are no rap words in it, so don’t bother.

EVERYWHEEEEEEEEEEEERE!

Well, everywhere if you pass an import magazine stand on your way to work, anyway. We were actually going to buy one of them, run it under the tap and then scan it in – you know, so we could do a joke “Torn porn found under the hedge” style update. Then we ACTUALLY FOUND ONE TORN AND SOGGY UNDER A HEDGE. Is anyone out there a Bhudda-ist? We need to know how much karma we just used up finding Sega porn under a hedge. We’re scared that tomorrow morning we’re going to be run over by a runaway bus driven by the dwarf from Don’t Look Now or something.

We found this on the blog of a fellow called cori95. Normally when we nick things we either decide it’s too risky or flat-out chance it. This guy deserves a link though (despite the fact there’s practically no chance of him finding us out) because as well as this TERRIFYING SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS of Rinko’s mons veneris (complete with a miniature Agent Smith eyeing it up in the background), he has pictures of Maria on his site. Congratulations, UK:R Special Friend Of The Week.

Good thing: They’ve stopped taking photos of her slightly from the side in order to pretend that she’s not cross-eyed. This (further) allows us to construct elaborate fantasies where we meet her at a public event and her (obviously) low self esteem from her spacky-eyed-ness ends up with us both in a 25 quid hotel room, where naturally she’ll want to try her best out of fear of rejection.

Bad thing: We really, really, really want people to stop telling us what her “Real” name and “Real” personal details are. HER NAME IS PRINCESS RINKO AND SHE COMES FROM THE SEGA JOY PLANET.

Another thing we want: To wake up to this every day. Look at her! Cute, adoring face… sunshine and happiness shining from every pore… but still a little bit spazzy-looking so you’d feel a little bit bad showing her to your mates. SHE’S LIKE SEGA MADE FLESH.

Scantily-clad, underage flesh.

You can buy Emily Booth’s probably-not-that-stained coat on Ebay. We’re holding out for those pants. And maybe the shoes. And maybe a personal home visit including a massage, genital touching and full intercourse to the successful bidder.

“The awesome full-length leather coat which Emily wore for the Matrix inspired ‘Gamer Girl’ photos (as featured on Bouff.tv) is now up for grabs on eBay! Emily has personally signed the coat inside the lining at the bottom and we’re also including a superb glossy 8″ x 10″ photo of Emily wearing the coat with the auction. This is the first in a series of regular official Bouff.tv auctions that we will be running this year so keep an eye on this eBay address to see what’s available.”
