Brothers, let us gather around -Dreamcast R.I.P Feb 14, 2001
« on: February 14, 2010, 02:53:32 pm »
This is a moment of remembrance.

Everyone bow their heads and gather around, please.


I was just thinking it was around this day that Sega canceled our dear console all those years ago. I took a look at wiki and, unless it is wrong, it has the date as Feb 14, 2001 which would be 9 years ago today.

Seems like yesterday.. (tears starting to stream)


The great joy she was to our lives is the great void we feel today.

There will never be another like her.


To our beloved console,

May she rest in peace.

Dreamcast Feb 14, 2001

We need Cube to enlighten people on the fact that games still come out for it.

I'll ask Gagaman and Tomleecee to add Sega Bits to their respective links pages, and expect a shout out in all of my upcoming articles ;)

Why play Mass Effect 2 when you have an offline version of the original Counter-Strike?

Well anyway, it was a sad day, but having said that, there were still great games coming out for the system after the production had officially ended, and I'm sure we all go back to play the console regularly.

You think about the amount of tribute threads and the hubbub after it's 10th anniversary, i can't think of any other console that gets this much love.

I was hoping you were going to mention how you hate Gaga's guts and I was going have an excuse to IM him after years but you had to ruin my plans again, NEXT TIME GADGET, NEXT TIME!
