Words of Wisdom: A cold hampton? Better give the old chap a quick rub to warm him up a bit! Many of the young choirboys in my parish suffer from the same problem - luckily I have very warm hands. Here's something that should help, taken from my favourite internet pornography series of the year so far:

Dear Letters Shed, Thought I'd cc you a mail I just sent off to Sega. -- Dear nice Sega folks, I've been playing Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast for quite a while now. However, I made the shocking revelation that in the animated cartoon series, the voice of Sonic is none other than Jaleel "Steve Urkel" White. You can see where this is going, can't you? All right, I'll beg of you: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DO NOT LET "URKEL" DO THE VOICE OF SONIC IN THE AMERICAN RELEASE. Use Michael Douglas. Keanu Reeves. Hell, even Bob in accounting would suffice. But to taint such a fine game with White's childish croaking would only spell doom for the impending super-console's American debut. Please heed my words. Thank you for your time. CW

Words of Wisdom: Yeah, thanks for the American cultural references which are no-doubt hilarious in your home country, but leave us a bit confused. We'll consider it as 'payback' for the Ron Atkinson reference on the main page last week. PS: Tell your knob-weilding redneck President to stop using Cruise missiles as penis substitutes and trying to destroy the whole bloody planet just because the Serb chicks wouldn't suck him off. Thanks.

Dear Letters Shed, Nick Spolec gracefully offers his AMAZING Princess Crown review, along with an added bonus! His Marvel vs Street Fighter review! Let's get on our knees and thank him! (Not it that way. You have sick minds! Heh heh) ===================== Princess Crown. Review by Nick Spolec ===================== Great graphics, great fun, and easy to get into make this game a hot one. This should be on any importers list if they haven't gotten it yet. Get this game before it goes out of production again! I got mine from GameCave, my choice importers, and they should still have a few left. The only real downfall is the music, which is only *SOMETIMES* repetitive, but very easily looked past. =========== Score Recap =========== Graphics - 9.5 Sound/Music - 8.5 Gameplay/Fun - 9.0 Replay Value - 9.0 Overall - 9.0 Get this game! And don't miss it! And my advice to anyone worried about the text, DON'T BE! Not only is this game about 90% playablity score for non Japanese speakers, but there is one excellent FAQ/Walkthrough here in the SegaNet FAQ section, but an entire translation of the game at Game translations, http://members.xoom.com/AndriaSang/gametrans.html - Nick Spolec ====================================== Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter. Review by Nick Spolec ====================================== If you aren't tired to death of X-Men vs Street Fighter, don't need everything to be completely new, really love fighting games, and think you could have fun with this game, then pick it up if you can, because you will have fun with this game, and fun is the all important factor. If you never got X-Men Vs SF, then get this game now, you will enjoy yourself for a great while. And be sure to get your friends over to play with you, because nothing beats playing against a friend. Finally, if you really loved MSH vs SF in the arcade, get this ARCADE perfect game now, but remember, it will be a little different experience because it is the Japanese arcade version of MSH vs SF, and some things are a tad different from the American arcade version. ======================= Score Recap (Out of 10) ======================= Graphics - 9.5 Sound/Music - 8.5 Gameplay/Fun - 8.5 Replay Value - 8.75 Overall - 9.0 Nick Spolec

Words of Wisdom: Thank you Nick Spolec! You wrote so much we had to edit everything you said. Was it not Jesus who said: "You should try to keep reviews short"? Any readers wanting the full benefit of Nick's knowledge should mail him for the rest. And talking of games... we now have a Dreamcast. What are all those dickwads moaning about? Sega Rally 2 is incredible, and Sonic Adventure is beautiful, easily one of the best games released in the last few years. Glitching? Frame rate problems? Do all you people have eyes and brains that work faster than ours? Both games are ace and should be bought without fear.

Words of Wisdom: Misdirected email or elaborate hoax? Even we don't take pleasure in people's family members dying (unless it's some freak accident involving suffocation, binliners, telephone cord and being found naked hanging by the balls from the shower fitting in a seedy hotel - it's how I want to go, anyway.)

Dear Letters Shed, I'm literally in pain I've been laughing so much...thanks for the great site... John

Words of Wisdom: Don't get too excited, we probably made this letter up to make ourselves look good.

Dear Letters Shed, Does anyone know if any of the sim games are coming to the Dreamcast? If not I have some suggestions for alternative sim games: Sim Dwarf Sim Stomach Sim Granny Sim Windsock Sim Paper Cup Sim Carwash Sim Rudimentary Wooden Hut Sim The Blokes Who Write Crappy Sim Games Sim One Leg In A Plaster Cast and T'Other Up Chimney

Words of Wisdom: Here are our suggestions: Sim Sega - Players take over a floundering Japanese console company shortly before the Western release of their new console, and have to try to make it a success. You'd start with $100m to piss away sponsoring crap football teams. Sim Ultaneous - two-player puzzle game Sim Shitty 2000 - Realistic sim of life in a city: getting lung cancer from car exhaust fumes, frightening smelly pierced men asking you for money, miserable shop assistants who think they're too good to be working in shops, paying a pound for a Coke because you're thirsty and there's only a rip-off newsagents nearby, working all day and not getting home until it's dark so you don't know what your house looks like in the daylight, you know, the usual stuff. Command and Bonk 'er - Adult S&M simulation Quim City 2000 - Prostitution/pimping simulation Theme Narc - Drug dealing sim DykeOut - Multi-player lesbian fighting game

Dear Letters Shed, Yo whassup, heard you was down with the 2 unlimited crew so I found dis for you. Comin atcha big stylee. http://www.rethink.demon.co.uk/2un.ram Oh and by the way I find your site embodies everything I stand for; Low quality nationalist exploitation. Oh, except your funny and i'm a prick. Kelvin Mackenzie, Talk Radio, formerly of the Sun and Live TV. Confessed Twatfaced gimp.

Words of Wisdom: Yes, you can laugh now, but I'll bet you were on top of that podium with your little white gloves on when 'No Limits' was released. It's my second-favourite hymm ever, just behind 'When a Knight Won His Spurs' in rousing my congregation on a cold Sunday morning And pretending to be someone you're not is not even remotely clever or amusing - it's just childish. Your sincerely, Tony Blair, Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London

Dear Letters Shed, AArghhh bwahahahah!!! This is again the coompatible Itamian who lives in (booo FRANCE booo) I was thinking that american gaames magazines were the worst but now we have a whole lotta new paradigm!!!! ALL French magazines said that SEGA RALLY 2 Sucks!! no i can't believe it!!!! Please someone bring some nuclear weapons here so this stupid nation will cease to exist!!!!!!!! AND FUCK ALL THE DAMN CENSORS!!!!!!!!

Words of Wisdom: Yeah, and where were those French benders during the war, eh? Hiding in their wine cellars eating onions, leaving our boys to do all the hard work, that's where. Le bastards! French Resistance? Peeling an orange presents more of a challenge than invading France. Hey, I'm not busy this weekend, how about you and me get a couple of potato guns and go seize Paris?

Dear Letters Shed, Hey why don't we start a countries war on this letters page, since there are people bitching about system wars on other pages... But why, everyone knows that if it isn't america or a couple countries in Europe, then it sucks. Cause American and Euro cars are the only ones that ever inovate anything or make anything worth driving. Oh and to the guy that says that IGNDreamcast is all american you forgot that Jaz is a brit. too. But this site kicks som serious ASS!!! I am so tired of all these dry sites that read about like a piece of used toilet paper.

Words of Wisdom: The Japanese make all the best stuff these days anyway, and there's no point in fighting them as they're all mutated and immune to radiation now. I read that from next year the Japanese government will start replacing it's people with robots that look like kittens, purr when you press X+Y+Z together and start crying if you don't feed them and wipe their arses. Technology, eh?

Dear Letters Shed, Know any good porn sites?

Words of Wisdom: Shit yes!

Dear Letters Shed, I've got a request for an employee of the week, how bout Catherine Zeta Jones. I believe she's Welsh so that should be okay with you guys right, and I really wanna see her half naked and so does everyone else.

Words of Wisdom: Wales is where we send all the ugly women to die. They don't have to pay tax there, so everyone's a winner.
