Tidy lounge. We must be attracting a more adult crowd.

LITERALLY PARTY EXACTLY LIKE IT IS THE YEAR 1999

Sonic Adventure’s out for those new machines lots of people bought, this September. Relive the moment at which Sonic turned to shit, with glitchy loops, incomprehensible hub levels, an army of pointless peripheral characters, awful “rails” levels, painful perspective switches and much, much more.

The mistakes made here were so large and all-encompassing, we’re still seeing them being made today. Read about it here.

SOME MEN WILL BE SITTING AROUND ON A FASHIONABLE SOFA AGREEING WITH EACH OTHER THAT HALO IS QUITE GOOD

The makers of Gameface, which we may have been quite mean about a year or two ago and are a bit scared to check, are doing a whole TV channel about games. From here.

“So, Michael, tell us about this new downloadable map pack for…” *SWITCHES TO BABESTATION 2 EVEN THOUGH IT’S THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY AND THEY’LL HAVE ALL THEIR CLOTHES ON*

MAN DIDN’T BUY (SMALL) SONIC BALLOON

Here’s Sonic doing a bit of work for charity, by bravely volunteering his likeness for a balloon sold in hospital receptions. So dads can buy a balloon for their child when it’s in hospital, offsetting the massive guilt triggered by enjoying the peace and quiet at home.

“I was working in Queens Hospital Romford this week and as I was walking through the entrance I was stopped in my tracks by this balloon! It was being sold at £2.99 and had gone by the time I had finished my job. Enjoy! From Mike in Dunstable (that’s where King Henry VIII got divorced from Catherine of Aragon WOW!)” – Mike, in Dunstable, where…

BY PUBLIC DEMAND: MUSHROOM HILL ZONE IN WIDESCREEN 3D

The rise of social media means there are now even more ways for people to send in the same thing. Like this video, which has been tweeted, poked, and emailed to us, and someone even wound down their car window and suggested we do something on it.

Tomorrow the letters will start arriving. So here it is.

Thanks to everyone. We nearly gave up just then. These people seem to be on the case when it comes to working out who actually made it and why and how.

PLAYSTATION3? “NO WAY” IT IS “TOO EXPENSIVE”

Those aren’t our words, but also the words spoken by a character in a Chilean arthouse film. PS3 disrespecting has hit the ‘World Cinema’ section.

“I found this scene while watching an obscure artsy film from Chile. It’s about a father denying and ridiculizing his child for asking for a PS3″

“Only later did I figure that those subs could have been easily faked onto any other movie” – Matteo.

Was there any good porn in it, Matteo? Farmer’s daughter coming-of-age kind of thing?

1990 WAS ONE MILLION YEARS AGO

“Today on Computers Today…”

A 43-year-old man playing Castle of Illusion and getting excited about the edge balance animation.

Another “GigerPunk” submission. He didn’t write any accompanying text, because he’s a bit busy ironing our underpants and putting the dinner on.

VIRTUA TENNIS 4

Andy’s not very happy because it’s only been announced as a PlayStation Move game.

And someone’s got the exclusive on screenshots of the lady players. More stuff about it here and here.

SUPER MARIO 2, IN A CASE, FOR $500

He could’ve put a bit more effort into coiling that cable.

“Are you still doing those incredibly shit eBay auctions of people who hike prices up for something that’s practically worthless? If so, have a butchers at this!” – Larry.

Mario Bros. 2 only sold around 10 million units, so actually is quite rare compared to something like how many germs there are in your toilet bowl.

“DEAR GAMESMASTER, CAN YOU BE THE TALIBAN?”

“Hello, Jimmy. Why yes, you can be the Taliban. Simply hold down X+Y+A when selecting your character. Have fun!”
