Here's a ridiculous question that of course I must ask. Would Sega ever return to the console market?

SJ: No. A categorical no.

Shame. (laughter)

SJ: And you're not the first person to ask that type of question.

I was just organizing all of my stuff in my basement this week, and putting all the consoles into piles by maker, so that I could organize them. And Sega is just the biggest pile... yeah, anyway. (laughter)

SJ: Yeah, sadly it's going to stay in the basement.

Even though the above comments are common sense, they still bring a sad feeling to my mind. And wow, so Naka and Suzuki really are both gone from SEGA...I wasn't sure. Well, they're definitely not the company they used to be, and I'm sure a crapload of the lesser known but just as important guys left a long time ago too. No wonder the only good games SEGA releases now are OTHER company's games.

I found it funny also that the dude wasn't 100% sure if Suzuki was an employee anymore or not...I mean you'd think things like this would be known. That's like asking Nintendo if Retro is still 1st-party and Reggie going "uuuh, not sure". I guess it goes to show how fucked Sega have become.

I still think Sega should have aligned themselves with Nintendo after Dreamcast collapsed, instead of giving themselves to MS (mostly). That was a foolish move. Games like Panzer and Shenmue 2 and Jet Grind Radio would have had a much better shot at success on Gamecube, and Nintendo's guidance could have helped stabilize that sinking ship.

Iga, you're not posting outside of your day are you?

But I would have yellowish paper. Maybe even going to the extend of crumpling some paper, scanning it and using it as a background for the whole webpage.

^^I shows promise, not sure want you mean by yellowish paper. Do you mean the old newspaper paper look?

P.S. where is everybody especialy Steel and Leo, if I get there feedback, than we have all the feedback that we need. Than I shall sumerize it in a new blog. I think we have around 4 feasible ideas.

Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't want it to look too clean, otherwise it's not a newspaper which has typically a greyish cheap paper look to it, or yellowish.

Otherwise it may just look like a white background with ye olde typeface.

So if you look at the mockup above, but imagine a much smaller headline and where miyamotos face is you have a slim bar about half the width of that pic, with a news feed. Also imagine it twice the height as the page will be scrollable, with room for around no more than say 6 stories. Since the main headline will be smaller in that space on the right we can highlight the editorial.

Leo is hardly ever around and steel is at his sisters wedding. Watching the wedding night hanky panky no doubt, through binoculars.

Yeah but Leo was one of the first who wanted change, so he must read it, or else! How long does a wedding take?

Hai guys. What did I miss?

Oh.

First things first:

GG, you got it all wrong, my sister is getting married next weekend. I had to go over there this weekend to start the arrangements of the...shit you have to arrange when people get married. Had to buy the rings as well. Many games will never see my livingroom because of those rings. T_T

Edge, yeah, but that's way better than having your asshole munching the turd before its complete release, no amount of toilet paper can fix that fuckup.

Iga: Here's my input:

FUCK YOU.

There.

Oh and I am so recording my sister's wedding night. I'll then turn a profit for it. I'll become the local porn peddler. Now all I need is a long coat to hide my stash. And my huge pen0r.

I'll reach him at Gamespot.

Best of luck, man. I hope you get the gig.

And laid.

I used to read CVG back in the day. They do not release them in Holland anymore. How's the quality of GVG now compared to the old days.

Oh and good luck!
