DREAMCAST – CONSOLE OF CHOICE FOR HOLLYWOOD ACTION CINEMA LEGENDS!

All hail the film ‘Forbidden Kingdom’ as it contains a Dreamcast during its opening title sequence. Apparently it was due for release here on July 11 of 2008, stars Jet Li and Jackie ‘It’s a Man’s Name in Hong Kong’ Chan.

“A film with Jet Li and Jackie Chan is worth a download, but to see a Dreamcast in the opening credits?! It’s defiantly a trip to the big screen.”

“With the help of technology, as seen in Will Smith’s ‘Enemy of the State’, I have been able to zoom, rotate and enhance the image. Which clearly shows a north American style Dreamcast – Craig.”

“On a recent trip to the USA, I watched a film called ‘The Forbidden Kingdom’ at the cinema. Despite featuring a lengthy fight between Jet Li and Jackie Chan, the highlight is just after the opening scene where we see the hero’s bedroom. If you look under the TV, you’ll notice he has a Dreamcast. Perhaps if this film was released in 1999 everybody would have Dreamcasts and there would be no war and suffering. And no PS3.

“Although the scene only lasts a few seconds, it’s very clear (unlike my bootleg screen grabs). You can probably still have a wank to it; just remember to sit at the back so nobody can hear your sobs of despair.”

POOR, POOR, POOR LITTLE SONY – FINAL FANTASY XIII HAS FALLEN

Literally unbelievable gaming news – Final Fantasy XIII is no longer a PS3 exclusive. The game will come to Xbox 360, simultaneously, in America and Europe. Utter, utter, utter, utter DOOM for Playstation3.

Although whether it’s possibly to additionally doom something that’s already doomed we’re not so sure.

Final Fantasy XIII PS3 DOUBLE DOOM JOY

Sweet joy. Couldn’t give a toss about the game, but the tears of those who thought it would “save” PS3 will be glugged down by the pint tonight.

"BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED DREAMCAST GARDEN ORNAMENTS"

Here it is! The update you’ve been waiting for! The here! The now! The actually existing! Dreamcast Garden Chairs!

“I’m unsure whether or not this has been featured on the website before. I couldn’t find it under the website highlights on the navigation menu, so I assume it hasn’t.”

'Look! I have a Dreamcast logo on my buttocks!'

“When visiting family last week, I came upon this set of beautifully crafted Dreamcast garden ornaments. Although, considering that the photographs were taken in rural Cumbria; it’s feasible that they’re actually large branding irons for use on livestock. Many thanks, Looi.”

EVOID DRINKS DON'T DO ARTIFICIAL

But they do do logos that look a bit like the Dreamcast logo!

Evoid: Logo buddies

“This is shit. Really shit. But you’ve used worse material. Last week I saw a little flyer in a police force canteen about a fresh fruit drink. And one of the graphics had a sort of Dreamcast swirl on it. Obviously I didn’t pick it up (and then embarrassingly explain to a cop why I am taking it – ‘To contribute to the material posted on a SEGA fan website/blog that wishes it was still 1986’), but just for you I remembered the brand and have now Googled it. Just for you. Remember that. At least I’m fucking trying, that’s more than can be said of you over the past three months. What’s happened to the Sony hate? Eh? Keep up the ‘good’ work – Richard.”

ELSEWHERE ON "THE NETWORK" #00030

Yes, still allowed to put words on the internet. Often with accompanying images, too. The passwords have not been changed. We are surely honoured.

  • This thing about something we’ve all been sort of half looking forward to.
  • This thing which annoyed a few people who know about modern plastics and materials.
  • This thing about reading TXT MSGs on holiday.
  • This thing about The Mirror being shit.
  • This thing about the outdoor holding season, because you can’t not use pictures like this when they come along:

    BITS OF THE WORLD THAT STILL HAVE SEGA SYMBOLISM ON DISPLAY: A POORLY SPRAY-PAINTED SONIC FROM DEVON

    It’s old and has almost faded away into nothingness and obscurity. Perfect UKR update material.

    “You probably get loads of these but thought I would send it in anyway. It was spotted in a pissy little alleyway next to Exeter St David’s train station. Disgusting choice of colour – Mat.”

    THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF ANDY THE SQUIRREL

    Andy found the following video. He says it’s of Sonic having his nuts burned. He also says he found it while looking for porn.

    Sadly, it doesn’t crash down in flames.

    THE SEGA CHANGE MACHINE LADIES

    Would you like to see a photo of a photo of some SEGA ladies standing on top of a SEGA change machine? You’d better say yes, as the only alternative for today is a photo of some garden chairs that look like a Dreamcast logo.

    Not a photo of some garden chairs that look like a Dreamcast logo

    “I thought you might like this picture of a SEGA change machine I saw a few years ago in a Tokyo arcade filled with old men. Most games cost 100 Yen to play, which was about 70p at the time. I thought that all games would be 5p a credit and the place crowded with girls in school uniforms – two dreams shattered in one go. Just out of the shot was a pile of Sonic tissues, which I nicked and gave to a mate of mine when I got back. I’ve avoided the mutual awkwardness of asking for them back to take a picture, so you’ll just have to take my word for it. Cheerio, Flp.”

    DIABLO III A "DREAMCAST 2 EXCLUSIVE"

    The Dreamcast logo was spotted at Blizzard’s recent unveiling of Diablo III. It’s the killer app that will steer Dreamcast 2 to massive international success!

    Dreamcast 2 - official logo reveal

    “Spent this weekend at the Blizzard WWI 08 and whilst sitting in the crowd watching Diablo 3 getting shoe horned out the door I noticed a strange creeping Dreamcast presence in the air…. Dreamcast 2 exclusive anyone? – Y3MBailey.”

    Everyone will run towards DC2

    Nice tapering at the end of the spiral. It really brings the logo up to date. Plus the addition of a man running toward the logo creates a subconscious feeling that Dreamcast 2 is something to run toward – ie, it is desirable. Fantastic work, SEGA creative team.

    CIARAN AND KEVIN'S SONIC MUSIC MEDLEY

    Some crazed youths have made their own versions of a few Sonic tunes. They sent it in. We feel obliged to recognise their work. You can download it here if you want. It’s 4.24MB of slightly out-of-key yet rather relaxing Sonic music.

    Making Of... Sonic Medley

    “Here’s some music that I know you guys will appreciate. Arranged and performed by myself (Ciaran McCrisken) with percussion by my good friend Kevin Carlisle. I’ve included some ‘making of’ photos (i.e. screen dumps of Pro Tools).”

    Making Of... Sonic Medley

    “Please forgive the stoned out, sloppy version of the Bonus Stage music. I should’ve double checked the tempo of it before playing but it was a last minute decision to include it. Anyway, enjoy! – Ciaran.”
