TAILS: UNDRESSED

Underneath that fir of his he’s just an ordinary man who eats cheap food for lunch just like everyone else.

Found by a “Steve” on some sort of Wal-mart stalking resource.

Stalking the people of Wal-mart is an extremely specialist hobby.

“SONIC THE HEDGEHOG FAN FILM TRAILER”

The makers of this ask if the viewers would like it to be made into a full-length film. We’d imagine SEGA’s answer would be “Definitely not”.

Our answer is also a “Not”. But thanks anyway.

CAN WE HAVE A LOWER-RESOLUTION VERSION OF THIS, PLEASE?

About the size of a postage stamp would be more acceptable.

Taken at something no one needs to know about.

ONE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS STUPID NEW FITNESS GAME CRAZE

When we’re caught with a high-resolution photograph of a woman in athletic clothing on the computer, we can honestly get away with saying it’s for work.

julie_seymour-wii-game

That’s Julie Seymour. We’re not suggesting she’s remarkable enough to try and track down via various social networking sites, but knowing their names does make it all seem a bit more realistic. Julie’s game is called “NewU Fitness First Personal Trainer”. We wish we “knew her” in the biblical sense.

“Nell McAndrew’s Body Fitness” is several magnitudes more disappointing. And it depends what you classify as exercise, Nell.

SEGA SATURN IMMORTALISED/MOCKED ON SHOOTING STARS

Back-on-the-telly-again comedy quiz show Shooting Stars disrespected the SEGA Saturn in a recent episode by associating it with Nintendo’s Wii, for the purposes of making a JOKE about gaming. Or rather, they made THE joke about video gaming. The one about Wii being a bit like wee.

Very poor, Vic. Very poor.

“While watching Shooting Stars the other night I noticed that during the admittedly unfunny ‘Wii Toilet’ sketch, the mock-up for the console used a picture of a first model Sega Saturn artificially turned white (it was not a true white ‘Flash Saturn’). The control pad ports, Sega logo, start, reset and eject buttons appear to have been the victim of a Photoshopping too.

“They also edited the Wii remotes but I don’t care about that. Please God let me be the first to have submitted this. Please God” – Police Constable London.

PSP LIFESTYLE PHOTO STOCK CLEARANCE #9

Last ones of these. We were saving this lovely pair as some sort of grand finale, but forgot and now the moment is gone.

If you happen to be a mugger and a rapist, this is pretty much the dream.

“Why is her MP3 player so much smaller than mine?”

DO WE HAVE ANY EXPECTATIONS FOR THIS?

Or will it just be like a fan project off the internet, seeing as no one good’s left at SEGA Japan any more and this is probably being developed in a portakabin somewhere in the USA anyway?

That’s “Project Needlemouse” the 2D/HD new Sonic game due in 2010. We’re prepared to go out on a limb and predict we’ll be giving it a sympathetic 2 more out of 10 than it deserves next year.

SONIC TO BLAME FOR CURRENT RETAIL COLLAPSE

Blue mascot now A CANCER on the high street.

“You might remember me as the ‘other’ poster from Phorenzik’s blog Stupid Fucking Customers. I’m still alive and I thought I’d send you these images from my local video shop as it has an interesting picture of Sonic on the shop sign. I’ve always thought about sending them in but I’ve never had the bottle to do it, but now the shop has shut down so I thought I would.”

“Sorry about the poor image, I was scared because some kids and the security guard at the Morrisons store next to it was watching me, so I had to rush” – Mark.

PS3 SALES “ROCKET” 999 PERCENT

The enemy has won a minor battle. Reader “Benjamin” has provided a visual analysis of the newly-released sales data.

ps3-slim-sales-boost

Week #2 up 200 percent. Week #3 up 42 percent. Week #4 MISERY AS USUAL until the next price cut at Easter of 2011. The enemy may take solace in this HOLLOW VICTORY, but we will not be fooled. No tide has turned here, it is merely a ripple in the ocean of piss that is PS3.

WELCOME TO THE SEGA REPUBLIC

We ignored the recent Dubai shopping centre SEGA theme park news on account of there not being any accompanying imagery. Fortunately, SEGA has now prodived some on its world-consuming Flickr presence.

Flickr Account Monitor “Anne” provided all the links and captions. We did the really hard bit in uploading all the pictures. If anyone’s a hero today, it’s the man who uploaded 11 images and pasted 11 bits of text below the right ones.

It is good (AKA heart-breakingly sad) to see that the arcades of Dubai are just as empty as the arcades of the UK. Although the Dubai one has the excuse of not being open yet.
