Random Thoughts Thread - Sega Edition!

[Barry the Nomad]

While SEGAbits wasn't the source of the story, Kotaku was, I'm a bit miffed that SEGA Addicts reported the All-Stars Racing 2 story 2 hours after us AND used the exact same image in their header as the one I used YET they didn't give us a single mention. Clearly they read of the story off our site, probably via Twitter, and then made their post.

If I spotted a story on another SEGA blog, I'd cite the originator as the source and give the SEGA blog a shout out by writing: Source: Kotaku via SEGAbits. Or at the very least, I'd find a different header image so it didn't look like I was going off another blog's story and skipping them when it came to the source.

From now on I'll be adding watermarks.

We call it the "office", but no work gets done in there and it's 90% games, toys and movies.

Nice looking room!

This is pretty cool: Chikara Ishikura, Director of Mobile & New Media for SEGA of Japan shared our Nagoshi interview on facebook (the ability to view who shared what is pretty handy). He said (using translate): "I'm sometimes think, Japan games producer Mr. Nagoshi and itagaki just good looks? But I'm just the Visual." Not sure what he's saying exactly, lol

Sometimes, i like to search for "SEGA" on twitter's search to see what people are talking about, but i think i will stop because i'm tired from all the shit i have to read. Check out this:

I'm a massive Sega fan boy, but what they do to their fans is terrible, even Nintendo resseurects their old licenses.

No they don't, it's "Fuck You" unless you like Sonic. They even shut down fan made homages FFS.

Really, where this dude get this idea? SEGA's twitter answer 80% of the questions, they always answer the fans in foruns and they have a lot of patience with crazy Shenmue fans spamming their twitter.

Other thing: 

Great to see @SEGA responding to all its fans about #Shenmue. Well, they haven't yet, but when they do it'll be great.

SEGA always answer the Shenmue fans, even when is spam. Are people that dumb? Is easy to understand: SEGA is not making Shenmue 3 because is a expensive game and will not sell enough. But people wanna see SEGA saying this, so they can start the hate train.

I really miss Shenmue. I only got to play through it once....

I even miss the old SEGA commercials; like that Game Gear ad where Ethan Suplee bashes a squiral upside his noggin', or the 32X promo.... "Just stick it in your Genesis!" LOL!

Sonic the Hedgehog - RPG - on the DS - Made by Bioware...... Still a bit hard to believe this actually happened.

This might be the best SEGA releated remix I've ever heard!

Wow... Phantasy Star IV is actually a pretty tough when you think about it.

Also, I noticed how SEGA is just releasing these Genesis Collections on PC. With the latest crop of PC games, they made the MEGA DRIVE ULTIMATE COLLECTION for PS360 redundant.

@Pao: I see your Shinobi remix and raise you a awesome mashup!

Pillowy mounds of mashed po-tay-tos...

So... SEGA publishing a Double Fine game.

[stevetheman90]

Whens hell yeah getting a release date? lol

[max_cady]

SEGA's been awfully sketchy with it's digital release schedule... The only game that's a definitive release date right now is Virtua Fighter 5 FS.
