A Tonic For All Those People Enraged By The Last Post...




Yes! I know that this has been posted a hundred times before, but it always disappears into the archives! After the last post, I feel the cult needs to re-group... Judo suits? CHECK! Elvis wigs? CHECK! Translated lyrics to the theme tune? CHECK!

OK, after three... 1-2-3...


Segasaturn Shiro! by Segata Sanshiro


"The solitary man who devoted his soul to the way of games
Today, he comes again
He will punish those who do not play seriously
Their battered bodies will never forget!

[chorus] Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!

They play tennis, sing karaoke, flirt around in clubs...
Are there not more serious tasks to be done?
Those who do not play maturely
He questions them deep inside their hearts

Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!

(voice of Segata)
Youngsters... is there something in your life you are completely devoted to?
Something you sink into so deep you put your life on the line?
You must play Sega Saturn!
Play... until your fingers break! Until your fingers break!

Even if they chase after sex, that petty pleasure
Their soul will remain hollow
Those who do not immerse themselves to the extreme in gaming
Will find their bodies beaten harshly!

Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!

The white clouds floating on the great blue sky
And the boiling red bloodshed in fierce gaming
Those who give up halfway through
Their battered bodies will never forget!"

Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro!
Sega Saturn... shiro!Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!

Elvis Wig? Check! Judo Suit? Check! Bottle of Absolute Vodka? Check! Let's party! *opensbottle*

I actually read the article by now. It really got me in rage, BUT the comments healed my wounds a bit. I was very happy to see so many, so well written comments on how that Don is wrong. I can't believe a guy like Don is writing for C|Net. It's a shame really.

But now... let's party, because the Saturn is everything but dead in our hearts. It'll live forever and beyond the infinite.

I'm so sorry, my German is limited to stuff I read in war comics in the 1970s... I'll be exclaiming "Donner und Blitzen!" any second now...

*FK retires to a corner and curses the arrogance of the British, and how they expect everyone else in the world to speak their language, an inexcusable echo of the empire...

Suddenly finds himself blurting out...*

Koniche Wa! Voulez vous couchez avec moir ce soir?

*Retires to bed the worse for wear...*

"I should do a poster with "We all love Sega Saturn" in 256 languages.."

Let me help you with that!

Portuguese: "Todos gostamos da Sega Saturn"

Spanish: "Todos gustamos de la Sega Saturn"

French: "Nous aimons tous la Sega Saturn" or something like that (my French is a little rusty)

And so on...

In Welsh it's "carwn 'r Sadwrn"...

That's all I can offer for now...
