MAN SURPRISED TO SEE SEGA AT MAINSTREAM SHOPPING ESTABLISHMENT
A man risked losing face with his wife and members of the public by taking photographs of a work-in-progress SEGA installation that’s being set up in the Bluewater shopping centre. SEGA, meanwhile, is risking losing face by copying one of Sony’s most ridiculous claims – FOUR DIMENSIONAL ENTERTAINMENT.
“Imagine my surprise when I actually went out one night to Bluewater with the wife. Sega have a 4D motion ride that was being assembled.”
“Ignore the quality of the photos, the camera on my Sony X1 has the focusing ability of a man with cataracts.”
“Thought you might like to see the stand. I’m still fuming about the Saturn and Dreamcast and don’t need to see this shit” – Rusebke.

What IS the 4th dimension? It’d better be something to do with blue skies.

I am a man with cataracts and those pictures look perfectly-focused to me.

The 4th dimension is time. The end of the ride occurs temporally after the start of the ride. This guarantees you are disappointed *after* you’ve already given them your money.

I don’t care if they have Bluewater, do they have Blue Skies?

Well, I’m in Hong Kong, where we have a 4D cinema at the airport, and I have to report that the fourth dimension is not time. No, the fourth dimension is when they start dropping soap bubbles out of the ceiling half way through that James Cameron blue organic gardening advert, to ‘heighten’ the ‘experience’ of some computer generated bint riding a made-up pterodactyl.
Come to think of it, was all of Avatar an over-long metaphor for Sonic the Hedgehog’s struggle against the Evil Empire of Sony?

But never mind all that – SEGA in “releasing good game” shocker:

Pfft, I don’t leave the house for anything less than 5D.
No, hang on… I don’t leave the house, yeah that’s what I was thinking of, as you were.
