UK:RESISTANCE 'main page'
Nine years past its best before date. Stale. Very apt for the SEGA of today.




"Here is a high resolution photo of some exclusive Dreamcast popcorn from the 'Dreamcast Premiere' event at the Empire Leicester Square, which my colleague has had in his cupboard since November 2000! SEGA's popcorn is manufactured by Hollywood Express Ltd, of Preston. It contains hybrid popcorn, vegetable oil, salt, and colour - beta carotene. It has a best before date of 13/10/00. You may make your own joke about the best before date of the Dreamcast. We daren't open the packets now in case it releases some kind of biotoxin" - John.


IT CONTINUES...
"Also in the shot is a somewhat shoddy Dreamcast bottle collar, which was given to us wrapped around a bottle of Coke. The bottle in the photo is not the original. He didn't do a great job of keeping the ticket in mint condition, but at least it's readable and shows the date of that memorable trip to Dirty London to meet Sonic and Ulala.

"We put a copy of today's paper in the shot, so you know we're not just recycling an old photo. There seems to be some purple fringing on the newspaper text, for which I can only apologise on Canon's behalf.

"I think the collection is worth keeping for another two years before putting it on eBay during the tenth anniversary celebrations."

I like the idea of people putting that days paper in photos, it adds a nice creepy kidnapper feel to proceedings.

Today's paper? It's from last November! Of course the headlines are the same everyday anyway. The Credit Crunch Mega Recession is doing such a great job in exacting revenge on Sony on behalf of the Dreamcast that I can't really bring myself to hate it...

I hope Coke are paying you for the free advertising they're getting in the back right of the shot, behind the popcorn bag in close proximity to the swirl.

The photo is tantalisingly labelled 'dreamcast-launch-popcorn-1a.jpg'. Can we look forward to a slightly closer 1b?

How are your 'foreign' readers supposed to know that that is "today's paper". What kind of name is "theguardian"? Sounds like a Jehovah's Witness pamphlet.

I went to that dreamcast event in London it was epic, spent the morning playing DDR in the Levi store then watched a load of new dreamcast game trailers in one of the best cinemas in the country.

Decided to buy a dreamcast because of that day, with the joys of MSR and power stone 2 I never looked back.

The truth at last. UKR is populated exclusively by Guardian readers. Should have guessed. The completely unfounded sense of superiority, the sneering, the self loathing, the hate, the witty banter which is *only* witty and not actually funny, the preoccupation with violence and sex and sexual violence (and World War II). How very snooty and 'media'. I suppose you all drink cocaine and snort wine too while being bummed by your girlfriend wearing a strapon. No doubt.

And there was I thinking I was being subversive. >:(

@Anonymous 'foreign' readers can click through to the high resolution picture, and read the date from the newpaper's masthead. Some 'foreign' readers might end up confused as to whether it's from 7th November or 11th July, but that confusion could be resolved by checking a calendar to see which of those days was a Friday.

Actually I've had to stop the missus using the strap-on as it was giving me piles. That and I was able to achieve climax while she shouted out Sony's latest sales figures.

Actually 7th November and 11th July were both Fridays. I sense some conspriracy plot in all this. Is the world coming to an end?

I don't read the fucking guardian and, frankly, I'm concerened one of the UKR readership does. Although, it does say "my colleague", which means maybe John just works with some socialist whining politically correct fuckwits, I know how that feels.

Also, try the popcorn, it might be great tasting and/or give you some sort of chemical buzz, sounds like a friday night post-pub snack to me!

According to this low resolution image, our commander, Commander Zorg has married a woman.

There's no chance it is another Gary Cutlack.


P.s. Dreamcast popcorn is the rejuvenative essence of the gods. Even more so if a decade out of date.

Morning Star? Stalinist gravediggers of the revolution. Put it next a copy of Class War.

You could sit and eat 2 bags of popcorn while the DC's 33k modem loaded a webpage.

Ahh, Happy Days. We didn't even have viagra then to keep us solid whilst the midget pr0n downloaded at a snails pace.

I got sexually conditioned by the DC's slow modem. Now I can only get off by blacking out the lower half of my glasses.

A typical English aristocratic arrogant attitude from John, assuming all foreigners have the benefit of the illustrious English education system and can afford calendars and have learned to read numbers. We haven’t all grown up with ‘newspapers’ and ‘banks’.

I wonder if Zorg will bring us the sheer joy of an in depth look at Death Tank's triumphant return later? You know, like a thingy, a whatsit, remember them?, A proper update, that's it!

^ good work at eviladrian.

At 4.30am no doubt Zorg is still pouring over media guardian fapping away to Matt Wells.

Thanks for sharing this great discovery. This sort of image is worthy of UK:R update. We'll end up with more swirls on carpets news tomorrow.
Blogger Branch-me-do said...
So, er, Zorg, have you enough swirls to really keep up this pace of an update every day? Or are you spunking it all prematurely, and by May we'll be back to an update every three weeks (and still of swirls on carpets/cakes/wallpaper/swirl making machines)?

Also, I trust the new missus is used to you weeping after you make the mess on her tummy.
