SHOCKING FOOTAGE OF A DREAMCAST RITUAL KILLING

The intoxicating jungle rhythms make the scene appear even more PRIMAL and unsettling.

“Who knows what kind of ‘issues’ were being had with it, but I highly doubt it called for destroying what looked to be at least a good Dreamcast to use for parts” – Alex.

A DREAMCAST CONTROLLER MADE OUT OF SOAP

From the mad world of Etsy. Obviously. It’s an apple-scented, Dreamcast controller-shaped bar of soap, that’ll be ideal ideal for lubing yourself up with from the safety of behind a double-locked bathroom door.

“Saw this and thought of you! Best reason to have a wash ever… although it would be a shame to sully it for such a base use. Mind you, I almost didn’t bother sending this since you totally ignored the last (almost as worthwhile!) thing I sent – which spookily was sent exactly a year ago tomorrow” – Nik.

“DREAMCAST IS BACK”

How do you go about launching class action law suits for deliberately misleading corporate communications?

What it means is, a couple of its games are being resurrected to no doubt underachieve on a new format.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE DREAMCAST COMING BACK

SHOCK NEWS: SEGA is re-releasing an old game and it isn’t Golden Axe.

SUPER RARE JAPANESE 2 (TWO) FILE SET OF: SEGA MANAGING DIRECTOR, MR. HIDEKAZU YUKAWA “APOLOGIZING” (FOR BEING SOLD OUT OF DREAMCASTS) FILE + SEGA DREAMCAST ORANGE WITH “SWIRL LOGO” FILE

Do not understand what this is. The description doesn’t help much. Submitted by pro-level thing-submitter “GigerPunk” who is now a mere six item submissions away from being upgraded to Silver Reader status.

“This PROMOTIONAL FILE SET, was made available to Dealers and Fans at SPECIAL DREAMCAST EVENTS. SEGA also decided to sell these for a very short time. They are no longer available and the production run was low. Most of these were used by Sega Employees and treasured by Fans due to the popularity of Mr. Hidekazu Yukawa, Sega’s Managing Director who appeared in a series of Sega Dreamcast TV Commercials in Japan. One particular TV spot showed Mr. Yukawa bowing and apologizing for being sold out of the Dreamcast in its first few weeks of release, and for not having any inventory. The one Scene that is captured on one of the Files shows Mr. Yukawa in front of the Dreamcast Logo slightly bowing to apologize to a Mob of Customers. YOU CAN VIEW THE ACTUAL TV COMMERCIAL BY CLICKING HERE.: The other File is the OFFICIAL DREAMCAST “ORANGE’ with WHITE SWIRL LOGO” and BLACK DREAMCAST TYPEFACE” – Crazy eBay man.

THE DREAMCAST “BOOMBOX” CASE MOD

We’ve checked with someone still in their 20s, and have been told that a “boombox” is a bit like a radio only mainly used for the playing of urban music in which the protagonists aggressively shout about buying a car that’s more expensive than their rival’s car over a repetitive loop of sound.

We hope that clears it all up for you.

It works, has a screen and controller ports, and would therefore let you play Dreamcast games anywhere there’s a plug socket. A bit like a… Dreamcast. Loads more photos of the Dreamcast-in-a-radio modification can be found here and there’s a literally appalling video of it in action here, if you’re as bored as we are of today already.

HOT ‘THREE IN A BED’ DREAMCAST ACTION

Obviously not what you were hoping for. It’s not even that photo of the girl without any clothes on with only a Dreamcast covering her bits that we get emailed about once a week.

It’s a man’s TV.

“Flicking through TV channels on Wednesday night, I caught the end of something called ‘Three in a Bed‘, which unfortunately turned out to just be a polite competition between Bed & Breakfast owners.”

“The end titles showed some of the various nick-nacks and sculptures one of the B&Bs had and suddenly I found I HAD to pause the TV, quickly rewind, pause, wait for codec to realise I didn’t want to look at a blank screen, let it play a bit more, pause it again then grab camera. Took pictures, then left camera on living room windowsill and forgot about it til this morning”

“Just realised, I hadn’t checked 4OD – Could’ve saved myself a lot of trouble by just pointing you here. Dunno if it’s anywhere earlier in the show, but it’s in the end titles for two seconds at 47:27″ – GigerPunk.

The EXIF examination reveals the shots were taken using an extremely boutique Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z5 camera. Does anyone want to attempt identifying the make & model of TV by estimating pixel counts and cross-referencing the data with placement of the power LED?

DREAMCAST LOGO IN SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE

Great news! SEGA may now be able to claim 0.01% of the revenues from all past Mario games, which will be the financial equivalent of the money generated by 1,000,000 Madworlds.

“I was bored the other day so I thought I’d dust down my old games collection and pop in a game called Super Mario Sunshine, a game by Nintendo based on an Italian plumber called Mario who likes spaghetti and meatballs. As I was playing, and to my amazement I noticed the Dreamcast logo in the game!” – Mark.

Sorry about the quality of posts recently. It might be something dietary, or the weather. Hopefully motivation will return in Q3.

NEW FLAGSHIP DREAMCAST STORE OPENING IN PISA

OK, so we’re going through a demotivated phase. Hopefully Sony will do something stupid tonight and we’ll be all excited again. Until then…

“Recently I came across this photo which my girlfriend took whilst travel ling through Pisa. As you can see from the photos – this is clearly the new Dreamcast flagship store, which must be opening up sometime soon.”

“Included is a close up of the store’s sign for your titillation” – Paul.

DREAMCAST MILLENNIUM FALCON

Is this common knowledge yet? Have you 50 emails telling you about it in the last two days, one even from your dad?

Sent in by “Prison Hardman” who was generous enough to email it in, rather than boosting his own personal “rep” by spunking it away in the comments section.
