  • Ooh… Sega Gets a Burn….

    Sega has gotten a burn in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly. Read the following from Swirlvision to get the goods.

    In the newest issue of the pop-culture mag, Entertainment Weekly, EW staffers highlighted the 100 top holiday gift ideas. Among the videogame systems and games making the cut were the Game Boy Advanced (45th place), Dance Dance Revolution (47th place), retro videogame packages (69th place), and the unholy trio, the PS2, X-Box, and Gamecube (34th place). The Sega Dreamcast unforunately made the “What Not to Give” list, which probably means EW staffers are too cool for graphics of near-PS2 caliber and a library of nearly twice as many games (at this point) for what soon will be 1/6th the price… whatever.

    Joining the DC on the WNTG list (You didn’t hear? EW says abbreviating stuff is in! If you don’t abbreviate, you suck!) are Furbies, Cathy coffee mugs (Because there’s no more Cathy comics! Get it?!? Those EW staffers SO have their fingers on the pulse of society!), Nad’s hair removing gel, and the Ab Roller. That would be a pretty damn bad group to be a part of, if the HHG list didn’t include Castaway Wilson volleyballs, lamps from Friends, silverware from Dawson’s Creek, and the ranked item, the George Foreman grill. Thanks but no thanks, EW… I’d rather sit on my inflatable furniture and water my Chia Pet, which both also made the WNTG list.

    In other EW news, Britney Spears is cool, Buffy rules, and anything that hasn’t been seen on TRL, or Will and Grace is lame.

    Give me a break… well, fans probably won’t care too much, if at all, anyway. Still, I felt this was worth noting.
