UK:RESISTANCE 'main page'
A while back we did a disappointing and incoherent round up of some SEGA coins, as used in SEGA arcades around the world. Well here's another one, from Xujiahui in Shanghai. We'd be lying if we said we'd always wondered what SEGA World coins from SEGA World in Xujiahui in Shanghai looked like, but let's just pretend to be all excited so there's something to smile about today.

It's a very hi-res photo, although there is a disappointingly large amount of table in shot. The submitter also sent in too many words to describe it, but that's to be expected of people for whom writing is still fun rather than a endless challenge to stop smashing your face into the keyboard from boredom.




FROM XUJIAHUI IN SHANGHAI: "Attached is a mighty high resolution image of a coin from Sega World in Xujiahui, Shanghai. I tried to take a picture at a lower resolution, but the coin is literally TOO AWESOME to be photographed at anything less than top-level. Notice that it says "For Amusement Only" on the coin: this is no ordinary coin, you can't go and buy socks with it, that's just not allowed. You are ONLY allowed to have fun with it. If you try to use it to pay for your dry cleaning or buy a book on physics maybe the coin turns into a spinning disc of death and you get eaten by a mad goat. I have no idea, I'm too scared to try. I'm going to take some pictures of the Sega World (along with Mario Kart GP shame) tomorrow, provided that I can get a girl to come with me. That way I'll look like less of a Paedophile taking pictures of small, sweaty children in a public place - Iun."

Im a little disappointed, if the coin is from Shanghai why is the text on the coin not in Chinese?

I take issue with the statement "you are ONLY allowed to have fun with it". I bet you're totally allowed to spend hours putting them into a 'coin fountain' machine in slack-jawed repetition. Hard to tear yourself away from, but not fun.

I am very excited about this new roving reporter. Not as excited as him, obviously, but excited nonetheless.

I'm remembering this post "SICK 'SLIMY TITS' SHOCK OF TOP XBOX GAME"

That was a good un.

Im disappointed in Justin's lazy casual racism.


If you're going to be racist at least put some proper effort into it and come up with a multi worded offensive term.

Jawatron, he can't be racist he loved that song in Kill Bill by the 5.6.7.8's. He didn't like the original version though.
