“I MAKE SONIC MASKS TO HELP GET MONEY SO I CAN GO TO COLLEGE”

It’s better than prostitution.

“This was posted on a forum I occasionally visit – I thought you might be able to use it on a slow news day when Sony doesn’t embarrass itself or something. The picture with all the masks also includes a Knuckles mask that doesn’t appear to be on sale. I assume they sold out of those since Knuckles is rougher than the rest of them, the best of them and tougher than leather and the cool kids seem to dig that nowawdays” – Gene Groom.

“PLAY WITH SOME SEXY JAPANESE GAME GIRLS”

Well, OK then, but first someone’s going to have to send us an iPhone and make it so that it works and that this “app” appears on it. We may need a printout with some instructions on how to get it to load, too, along with something saying what you have to press.

It’s… a something for iPhone. Something about looking at pictures of women. Noticed here by a kindly gentleman contributor. And no, today is not going to see much more ‘effort’ than this.

SONIC & SEGA ALL-STARS RACING *STILL* DOESN’T LOOK BAD

Keep watching movies of this, expecting it to eventually look terrible. But it keeps on looking more than OK. Bordering on the good, in fact.

Definite month-long mega update potential.

INDUSTRY NEWS: PETER MOORE IN SHORTS

When did Peter Moore become a self-mocking comedy figure? If only he’d worked up such a sweat for Dreamcast.

Photo taken by Games Press, using a Nikon D40. Thankfully we don’t have the images taken by those poor men sitting at the front.

PS3 SLIM’S SECRET FUNCTION

It also functions as a Dreamcast stand. This will remind extremely regular readers of an actual JOKE from a very, very long time ago. It’s good to see we haven’t lost our ‘touch’ when it comes to Photoshop.

“Here is a picture I found on Gumtree last night in the ‘casual relationships’ category. I can’t recall the advert but it was along the lines of ‘black submissive looking for white top'” – Mariano.

WHICH MEGA-BLOG DID THE PICTURE REALLY COME FROM?
Joystiq.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY – PLAYSTATION3 SLIM

The cunning enemy leopard has changed its spots. It may look different, but it contains the SAME DARK HEART and POISONED SOUL.

The enemy has gained a small measure of respect thanks to releasing a 4.48MB file at 4800 x 3800 resolution.

PS3 SETS NEW RECORD LOW IN JAPAN

Sony managed to sell 5,826 PlayStation3s in Japan last week. If you lined all of them up, the line would be long enough to stretch all the way across an average UK kitchen. Or, to put in in a different context, to transport that many PS3s you would need the boot space of three separate Vauxhall Corsas.

JAPANESE HARDWARE SALES, WEEK ENDING AUGUST 9, 2009

DS: 78,765
Wii: 47,140
PSP: 33,893
PS3: 5,826
360: 5,436
PS2: 4,601

Amazing. All those other times people have said PS3 is dead were wrong. Now it actually is. Pronounced at *looks at clock* 12.35pm on August 18 2009.

“Connect 4” is also rumoured to be the new name for PlayStation Network. Figures taken from GAF, home of MEN.

EXCLUSIVE NEWS FROM GERMANY

Sent in by “Cristoph” who claims to be a “weisswurst lover” who comes from “Nuremberg/Bavaria”. We’re fine with that. UKR is a gated cosmopolitan community, like Babylon 5 but with fewer female officers.

“THE MOST OBVIOUS JOKE IN THE WORLD”

Sent in by “Kieran”. It may seem obvious to you, Kieran, but it didn’t occur to anyone around here.

Possible new t-shirt design? Possible new wallpaper for toilet?

LAUGHING WITH SONY, NOT AT SONY

It’s pretty bad when Sony has to sneak BRAVIA adverts into its copyright documentation, for the benefit of people in the copyright approval office who might be thinking about buying a new TV.
