A Curious Incident...

Whilst sitting blogging for the fledgling retro extravaganza The Saturn Junkyard , I suddenly became aware of a series of tiny high pitched squeals, whoops and laughter. This seemed to be offset by the bleeps, electronic buzzes and crackles that one might expect from a handheld video game console. You can imagine my surprise then, when I walked into my living room, only to encounter several short ethereal beings, all gathered round a PSP playing "Football Manager '07"! On being disturbed by the flash of my camera the little fellows abandoned the console and fled to the darker corners of the room and ensconced themselves under furniture! Try as I might, I could not persuade them to re-emerge...

Somewhat flabbergasted by what I'd seen, I returned to compile a list of my favourite Saturn titles on that most noble of Sega fansites The Saturn Junkyard . About half way into my post, I was sure I could hear strange noises again,( although somewhat more retro by the nature of their tone) this time eminating from my kitchen area... I stole, cautiously up to my kitchen door... I could scarecly believe my eyes when I saw another tiny figure, this time enjoying a game of "Terminator" on the under-rated Retro handheld the Sega Game Gear! The tiny chap seemed to be proudly patriotic, as blow me down, he was festooned in an England football supporters shirt! However, like his PSP playing comrades, on noticing my arrival, he quickly fled, making a Herculean effort to drag the cumbersome console with him, whilst I believe, trying to complete the level he was on!!

I began to question my senses... Surely these were hallucinations brought on by withdrawal form alcohol after years of abuse? Yes they must be I thought to myself...
By now my train of thought was well and truly scuppered, so I decided a change of topic would be in order.... I decided to concentrate on a perfunctory review of US only released, frankly amazing Dreamcast Light Gun game Death Crimson OX on the most hallowed of sites, the Dreamcast Junkyard . Surely there could be no disturbance this time? Yet halfway into my post, there it was again! Was I going insane?... Grabbing my camera I sneaked up to the sink in my kitchen, this time to be regailed with a little sprite of some sorts, seemingly playing X Men the Official Game on a DS (in fact I'm sure an unappreciated review of said game appeared once on this very site!) By now I felt emboldened enough to confront the tiny gamer, but like the others, on seeing my giant form he fled, causing the DS to fall clumsily to the floor...

My senses reeling, I decided to contact a good friend of mine, an expert in all things mystic and other worldly, called Konstantinos, who resides in a Shaman's lodge hidden away in the Atlantean Mountains... He was as matter of fact about the episode as I was bemused...

"The explanation is simple Father Krishna... " he stated coldly "this is a common phenomena these days...
Have you never heard of Gnomes Gaming On The Go?" *COUGH!*

(The second part of this frankly lame and half arsed joke will be appearing on this very site some time soon, unless Paypal donations are payed into Father Krishna's Swiss Bank Account...)
