Is this common knowledge yet? Have you 50 emails telling you about it in the last two days, one even from your dad?

Sent in by “Prison Hardman” who was generous enough to email it in, rather than boosting his own personal “rep” by spunking it away in the comments section.

Video seems to be based around pointing video cameras at Japanese people because they often wear brightly-coloured clothes. It’s directed by “McG” – a man who has to be respected for managing to kill the Terminator with only a film camera as a weapon.

You can see several SEGA logos in the video, is why it’s on here. Thanks to the man who doesn’t want to say what his name is (understandable) for sending it in.

When they stop we’ll be sad, but while they carry on we are indifferent. They can’t win. It’s like Top of the Pops – we gave up watching it in 1996, but were still quite upset when it was axed.

It’s Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, coming soon to an internet petition site near you.

Sent in by an “Alex” who must be a bit young and therefore still able to “get into” things like this. He probably even remembers what the buttons are and what those two new characters are called.

This video seems to have “blown up” today, as we’ve had less than three and more than one email(s) about it so far. Look at the poor dear, wobbling the controller sticks and wildly stabbing at the buttons, as if Final Fantasy is the sort of game you physically PLAY.

Final Fantasy is the sort of game you look at, occasionally, to see if it’s finished yet. A bit like this video of poor Leona.

Save your energy for a go on Just Dance when you get home, love.

Seeing as the only acceptable form of satire on the internet these days is the surprisingly high-brow option of making Hitler be angry about something, we thought we’d have a go at it.

So here is Hitler being angry that Cream The Rabbit is not a playable character in Sonic 4.

Turned out OK, even though we lost interest a bit near the end as Windows Movie Maker’s amazing anti-logic started to wear us down.

You can even ride bananas. You can EVEN ride bananas. You can even ride BANANAS. Don’t bother waiting for the irony to start – IT NEVER DOES.

No one mentions that you can “be the man from Shenmue”.

No idea what’s happening here. About 15 years of memories have all been bodged into one YouTube video. Starting to feel old. Older. Like, so old that we should only be using the internet for emailing distant relatives and booking discount cruises.

Submitted by comment-leaver “Prison Hardman” who seems to be a bit protective about his email address, making us feel quite powerful and in control.

May have been at this event. May have taken photographs of those blonde womens’ bottoms. May have drunk loads and actually enjoyed being there. Such was life in 2003, back when people still had budgets to put on nice parties to promote clearly terrible games.

A lady wrestler gets pretty aggressively “spine-bustered” over someone’s knee at the 1:46 mark, if you’re wavering about investing the time to watch it…

“It’s got violence and some girls in shorts and t-shirts and it’s about an old game, might just be what your readers want” – Christophe.

Final Fantasy XIII, the rubbish interactive CD-ROM game from 1987, is coming to the UK quite soon. People with half-empty bottles of red hair-dye in the bathroom who always look at the floor will be very pleased about this.

Here’s the new trailer in English, made even more painful by now being able to understand the long-winded dialogue.

*HAMMERS ‘START’ BUTTON TO NO AVAIL*

Too much “exposition”. That’s always everyone’s problem. Hopefully this nonsense will be delayed into oblivion as well.

Yes please. Any kind of paid employment that involves talking to adults and going outside, instead of sitting alone in a cold room pretending to be interested in a wide variety of things, like this, would be good.

It’s been a long, hard winter. The official THING about MP for a Week is here, while the “game” itself is online here.

The first thing you do is answer a KNOWINGLY SELF-AWARE message about violent video games. How ironic and therefore cutting-edge. We don’t know what the second thing you have to do is.
