Mickey Mouse is rubbish. Mario is rubbish. You can see where the creator of this is coming from.

HIS INSPIRATION: Things that are shit.

“Dear UKR, I found this on the Internet. It’s rather strange and is in the sale section of the website so clearly no one’s buying it, which isn’t surprising. I’ve included one of the pictures and the blurb about the vinyl figure in case you’re too busy (lazy) to click on the link” – Charlie Tollemache.

We’re trying very, very hard to grow up and stop buying ironic merchandise, but this Kubrick Jack from Lost is extremely tempting. If it came with ‘Wet Kate’ there’d be one on its way right now.

We’ve had loads of these. We’ve ignored at least five emails regarding the SEGA Vision in the wild (sorry (not really!)) but shall use this one, as SEGA has bizarrely decided to declare the SEGA Vision is “New for 2009” even though it isn’t.

The box is more colourful than before. Perhaps that’s what it means? A new box for 2009?

This was sent in by “GigerPunk” who was given the photograph by “a friend”. His accompanying email was about 5,000 words, so all we’ll take from are his informative links to the motorway service station in which the image was captured.

Bonkers consumer goes mental over sex chat numbers in the back of UK games magazines, including quotes such as…

“So over all its been a interesting day finding out that such a major publisher (Imagine Publishing) has no morals when it comes to making money, even if it means serving up pornographic content to children that may read their magazines.”

We’d suggest ‘360’ isn’t really aimed at people who wear shoes like that. At least not outside the house.

Any new hobby will do. Preferably one that involves being outside even if it’s raining and wearing sturdy shoes so your toes don’t get broken by the specialist equipment.

Video games ARE ALL OVER NOW.

Nintendo’s image of what it thinks you look like, just so you know it’s not pretending Wii is for adults. Stolen off Eurogamer.

Official Sonic The Hedgehog underpants! If no one else ever sees your pants, these are the pants for you.

Nice that they come in adult sizes. Good old ASOS has done its market research on these. Don’t follow their advice to “move mouse over image” though. You probably will anyway out of curiosity, but don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Submitted by “Joe” who advises zooming in to see the shame on Sonic’s face. And that’s all you want to see, IS IT JOE?

There doesn’t appear to be any Sonic-branded ladies underwear, but then we only got to page six before strangely and suddenly losing interest.

The “Devil’s Arse” has a vaguely Dreamcast-like logo. But even if it just said “Devil’s Arse” in Helvetica on a plain white background we’d have used the photographs.

“I thought you might like to see the Dreamcast swirl used on quite possibly the most inappropriately named family tourist attraction in the world, ‘The Devil’s Arse’.”

“Unfortunately it was closed at the time so I wasn’t able to enter ‘The Devil’s Arse’ to see what SEGA merchandise may reside inside the cavern” – Mike.

That’s still SEGA’s office. Someone is sitting in there right now correcting facts on the internet on SEGA’s behalf.

Embarrassing not to have known that, but nice to have a direct message confirming our stupidity.

In San Francisco? In need of a large amount of office space in a street that looks to be in a pretty “affordable” part of town? Don’t get too excited – it looks like someone’s already nicked the sign, unless it’s just been Photoshopped off the estate agent listing.

“I was in San Francisco earlier in the month on my way to a friend’s place, when I just happened to pass by the Sega of America building. I figured I’d try doing that “progressively getting closer to the focus of the image” thing you seem to like a lot.”

“The security is pretty tight; presumably to prevent people like me from coming in and asking them to make GOOD GAMES AGAIN. I doubt the overweight hipster secretary in the front even knows what VF5R is, since she’s too busy watching the latest Michael Jackson tribute videos on Youtube via her iPhone.”

“Just slightly ironic that Sega’s being advertised as AVAILABLE, when in fact they’ve never listened to their fans about anything ever.”

“Obligatory ‘I don’t know how to take pictures’ angle, complete with view obstructed by power lines.”

“It’s a sad day when the skies over Sega start to turn gray. I guess I’ll just cry myself to sleep tonight and wake up to swirls on carpets tomorrow- without Shenmue 3, VF5R, or a decent 3D Sonic game” -Alex.

Whoever’s in charge of the SEGA Europe Flickr page has a Pentax K10D, a camera rated as “Highly Recommended (just)” by everyone’s favourite erroneously-named camera site DPReview.

It’s capable of this:

“Sega Europe needs to take note of the Flickr action coming from their yank cousins. There’s rarely even the hint of a woman in sight never mind a bit of cleavage or a suspect camel toe. God, I’d even take some saucy pictures of Maggie Thatcher in a Dreamcast spiral bikini over Sega Europe’s mind numbing photo ‘blog’. Though reconsidering that, it’d make for a GREAT update” – Jonny.

“LIKE TOTALLY”

“OR WHATEVER“
