Sad news for our resident Shenmue fan, Lewis. Sega have lost the rights to the name “because registrant did not file an acceptable declaration under Section 8.”
In other words, they did not use the name within the allotted time period.
A trailer for Wargame: Red Dragon, a PC RTS thing.
And Finally, remember those nifty PS4 Lightbar stickers? Our very own GTown ordered some and here they are.
First, a sexy fake fur picture – phhwooar!
The “Really needs to dust more often” picture.
And finally, the “What is that bulge in his trackies” pic. Good work Mr K!

Thanks for the bulge pic. Sadly it was my top rather that trousers.
Codemasters Twitter feed is getting very funny of late.
For the next snatch please can I have some made up Warhawk news as I want it to be a real thing.

Do the stickers mess up the motion tracking with the camera? It looks like they block out quite a large percentage of the light that the camera would normally see.
Kitch
I think they would. The seller does warn they may not work. I don’t have a camera so I don’t know.
You get 2 stickers and they are removable.
gazzagb
Ah thought so, they do look great though!
Corbula
For anyone interested in the lightbar decals there’s an installation video here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6UMK9IGNgo

I will cry on the day they turn off warhawk

‘News Snatch’ conjures images of a vagina reading the headlines… Might just be me, though :)

The Dhalsim tattoo is ace.
freezebug2
That is really artistic and clever, very talented tattooist.
Some people can go too far with the bigger tattoos though in my opinion an example is Cheryl Cole with the Rose Garden covering most of her back. Give it a few years when parts of her body and skin start to sag and travel Southwards , it’ll look like a compost heap!
