David Mitchell (Number9Dream)
Just like the notion of "Internet natives", who have never known a world without Internet access, we, who have lived our entire lives with video games, can be known as "video game natives.
Alexei Maxim Russell (The Classic Gamer's Bible)
«C’è un mucchio di cose che hanno senso, bambi, e a volte, quando pensi che non ce l’hanno è solo perché stai cercando un altro tipo di significato.» «Che Dio mi aiuti, mi sto facendo fare una sega da Yoda.» «Ah-ah, una sega la via per il lato oscuro è.» «Oh, Gesù d’amore acceso, taci. Ti prego, taci. Io qui sto cercando di venire.»

Se ci fosse un cacciavite per togliere le idee sbagliate e un martello per fissare le buone intenzioni, una chiave inglese per stringere per sempre l'amore e una sega per tagliare col passato! Ma questa attrezzeria non ce l'hanno data e, dopo aver tentennato e scricchiolato, prima o poi ci romperemo.
Stefano Benni (Margherita Dolce Vita)
By 1990, Nintendo of America had sold nearly thirty million consoles, resulting in an NES in one out of every three homes.
Blake J. Harris (Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation)
There was no such thing as a magic touch, and it wouldn’t have mattered if there were, because the only thing it takes to sell toys, vitamins, or magazines is the power of story. That was the secret. That was the whole trick: to recognize that the world is nothing but chaos, and the only thing holding it (and us) together are stories. And Kalinske realized this in a way that only people who have been there and done that possibly can: that when you tell memorable, universal, intricate, and heartbreaking stories, anything is possible.
Blake J. Harris (Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation)
Og gave the Sega Ninja cabinet an awkward pat, as if it were an unfamiliar Labrador. Then he shoved both his hands into his pockets and grinned at me like a lovestruck idiot. He looked as if his pupils might change into cartoon hearts at any second.
Ernest Cline (Ready Player Two (Ready Player One, #2))
Pong had mutated into large stand-up Sega consoles by '82 and here was some extra revenue the guys were well up for. So the space on the left of the entrance was to be the games room. Until two weeks to opening. "Where's the cloakroom?" "The what?" "The cloakroom, the fucking cloakroom." "What's your problem?" "We don't have a cloakroom. We have special polished South African granite bar tops that we haven't told Erasmus about 'cause he has a thing about apartheid, we have a balcony balustrade made of shaped QE-fucking-2 mahogany, but we seem to have built an entire club without a cloakroom." "Fuck." Hence you did not pass the games room but the cloakroom, the only cloakroom in the Manchester with forty-two power points. if you ever wanted to do a bit of ironing, these people were there for you.
Tony Wilson (24 Hour Party People: What the Sleeve Notes Never Tell You)
Ko duša izbere navpično pot, ko izbere, da se bo razvijala zavestno z odgovorno izbiro, postane sposobna osvoboditi se svojih lastnih negativnosti. Sega po avtentični moči. Prevzame tako rekoč lastno negativnost, nezavedne namene svojih razdvojenih delov svoje osebnosti. Ko osebnost postane zavestna, ko se razvija v mnogočutno osebnost in postaja integrirana, se frekvenca njene zavesti poveča. Postane celovita. Njene negativnosti odpadejo in kakovost nejne zavesti postane svetlejša. Zdaj že lahko gleda sebe in tiste okoli sebe s sočutnostjo in jasnostjo, z modrostjo svoje duše.
Gary Zukav (The Seat of the Soul)
La gente vive, ha il suo momento, i suoi baci, le risate, gli abbracci, le sue parole dolci, le sue gioie e i suoi dolori, ogni vita è un universo che poi crolla su se stesso e non lascia niente dietro di sé se non pochi oggetti resi preziosi e attraenti dalla scomparsa del proprietario, diventano importanti, a volte sacri, come se un frammento di quell'esistenza che è sparita si fosse trasferita sulla tazza del caffè, sulla sega, sulla spazzola, sulla sciarpa. Ma tutto alla fine svanisce, i ricordi si cancellano e tutto muore. Dove prima c'era la vita e la luce adesso c'è il buio e l'oblio.
Jón Kalman Stefánsson (Himnaríki og helvíti)

Blake J. Harris (Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation)
Če se dotakneš drevesa, ni nič drugače, kot če se dotakneš kakšnega drugega živega bitja, pravzaprav je še lepše. Zakaj? Če recimo potrepljam psa po glavi, res da zatipam nekaj toplega in trepetavega, vendar zmeraj čutim, da je zraven še nekaj, kar mu odvrača pozornost, bodisi da mu kruli v želodcu, bodisi da se mu toži po nekomu, bodisi da se samo spominja hudih sanj. Razumeš? V psu je preveč misli in preveč potreb, tako kot pri čoveku. Ali bo lahko miren in zadovoljen, ni odvisno samo od njega. Pri drevesu pa je drugače. Od takrat, ko vzklije, pa do takrat, ko umre, nepremično vztraja na istem mestu. Med vsemi bitji sega s koreninami najbližje srcu Zemlje, s krošnjo pa najbližje nebu. Sokovi v njem se pretakajo od zgoraj navzdol in od spodaj navzgor. Širi se in krči, kakor mu veleva dnevna svetloba. Čaka na dež, čaka na sonce, čaka zdaj na ta letni čas, potem na naslednjega, čaka na smrt. Od vseh stvari, ki mu omogočajo življenje, ni prav nobena odvisna od njegove volje. Obstaja in to je vse. Ali zdaj razumeš, zakaj je božati drevesa lep? Ker so trdna, ker dihajo tako počasi in umirjeno, tako globoko.
Susanna Tamaro (Pojdi, kamor te vodi srce)
BABA CMIZDRI POD GALGAMA A koga vraga cmizdriš, zamusana mužača, kaj su ti sinu dali tatski ogerlič? Na galge dojde samo fini fičfirič, naj sliniti, smardljiva bedača. Još su ga mogli nabiti na ketača, z goročim kleštram popokati mu nokte. Od sega tega občuval je dragi nam Bog te i rešil te za navek tega čarvendača! Od lucke je volje volja božja jača, od Boga pak je jači, bomeš, gospon Komeš. Dobiš po gubcu, baba, če ne čkomeš. Ni fajde nam od plača. V birtije pijača, karmine tvojem sinu napijaju pajdaši! Dojdi z nama, mama! Kesno je popoldan iti k maši!
Miroslav Krleža (Les Ballades de Petrica Kerempuh)
Trebuie sa mor pentru ca vreau sa traiesc. Nu sunt mort, dar nici viu. Sunt doar amortit. Nici trecutul si nici viitorul nu ma mai misca acum. Trecutul l-am vandut pentru speranta unui viitor. Poate ca si asta e tot o fuga. Poate ca fug, amagindu-ma ca voi gasi adevarul undeva, candva si ca acest adevar ma va elibera. E un fel de a iesi din incurcatura. Sper sa gasesc capatul firului, ca sa ma descalcesc. De-abia atunci, la capat, o sa stiu daa a fost cautare sau fuga.
Sega (Octavian Segărceanu) (Namaste. Un roman de aventuri spirituale în India)
Non eri un uomo sessualmente emancipato, quando raggiungevi l'età adulta. Eri un topo di appartamenti. Eri un ladro, sessualmente parlando. La palpata la davi a tradimento. Lo rubavi, il sesso. Blandivi, imploravi, adulavi, insistevi... Per il sesso dovevi lottare, contro i valori, se non contro la volontà della ragazza. Le regole: ecco perché dovevi imporle la tua volontà. Era il modo in cui le insegnavano a mettere in scena lo spettacolo della sua virtù. Una ragazza comune, se avesse deciso volontariamente, senza essere asfissiata dalle insistenze, di violare il codice e compiere l'atto sessuale, mi avrebbe gettato nella massima confusione. Perché nessuno, maschio o femmina che fosse, era cosciente di avere un qualche diritto all'erotismo. Assolutamente. La ragazza poteva, se era innamorata di te, accettare di farti una sega - il che significava, essenzialmente, usare la tua mano con la sua come un inserto -, ma che una acconsentisse a fare qualcosa senza il rituale dell'assedio psicologico, della tenacia e dell'esortazione incessante e monomaniacale, be', questo era impensabile. Impossibile che ti facessero un pompino, certamente, se non per l'effetto straordinario di una perseveranza sovrumana.
Philip Roth
In the next five days, Bud Selig, the franchise’s proud new owner, changed the team name from the Pilots to the Brewers, in honor of the Milwaukee minor league team that he had cheered on as a boy. Though he was able to change the name, there was not enough time to order new uniforms with the navy and red colors from those Brewers teams of yesteryear. Instead, the newly minted Milwaukee Brewers were forced to adopt the blue and gold of the Seattle Pilots, a color scheme that the team still wears to this day,

Jeff Goodby, however, got to see them all. After work, he, Silverstein, Sogard, and a few other guys from the agency went down to a dive bar on Union Street called the Bus Stop, where they got to experience the inaugural batch of ads with an unsuspecting focus group of drunken peers. For a crowd that loved music and loved even more what MTV had encouraged music to become, the bar blasted the Video Music Awards on a dozen televisions as if it were the Super Bowl.

Whereas secret societies in the past have met in lodges, taverns, and dimly lit alleys, this new generation’s meeting spot was the virtual world of videogames. And also unlike the covert gatherings of yesteryear, where furtive glances and secret handshakes were needed to gain entry, the only password into this world was up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A-start.

Stiu ca sunt o minciuna, dar nu stiu de unde incepe adevarul.
Sega (Octavian Segărceanu) (Namaste. Un roman de aventuri spirituale în India)
In "intelepciunea" ei, mintea noastra e prea ocupata cu impartelile, asa ca vom incerca sa nu mai fin atat de "wise". Vom incerca sa fim... "otherwise". Ne vom stradui sa mutam accentul de la ce facem la cum facem. Ne vom angaja in munca noastra, oricare ar fi, cu intreaga fiinta. Ca si cum soarta universului ar depinde de ceea ce facem...
Sega (Octavian Segărceanu) (Namaste. Un roman de aventuri spirituale în India)
Fiecare rana in fiinta noastra poarta o semnatura. Sopul este sa vedem aceasta iscalitura. Sa vedem ca rana este semnata de noi insine si de nimeni altcineva. Sa vedem ca inchisoarea in care zacem e propria noastra opera. Cand ne vom da seama ca suntem arhitectul, constructorul si paznicul inchisorii noastre
Sega (Octavian Segărceanu) (Namaste. Un roman de aventuri spirituale în India)
Imi amintesc incercarile mele de a fugi mereu, revenind insa mai devreme sau mai tarziu in acelasi punct. Mereu in acelasi punct. Un fugar care se trezeste in aceeasi inchisoare dupa fiecare evadare. De parca ar fi visat ca evadeaza. Fara "de parca". Prizonierul nu a evadat niiodata. El doar a visat a evadeaza. Si martorul vede limpede ca nici prizonierul nu e altceva decat un vis. Fuga... e un vis intr-un alt vis.
Sega (Octavian Segărceanu) (Namaste. Un roman de aventuri spirituale în India)
Ii indeplinesc dorinta si ma las rasfoit pe indelete, din scoarta in scoarta. Nu am nici ce sa ascund, nici cu ce sa o impresionez. Nu sunt o carte, stiu asta bine. Sunt poate cel mult o brosura. Sau mai degraba un pliant anost, care anunta cu litere sterse o oferta de mult expirata. Nu imi pasa ce sunt. Iar Curculbeul nu cauta povesti care sa o dea pe spate. Pe nu o intereseaza, practic, ce scrie acolo, la mine in suflet. Ea vrea doar atat, sa dezlipeasca paginile lipite intre ele de necitite e sunt. Curcubeul nu vrea decat sa rasfoiasca. Atat.
Sega (Octavian Segărceanu) (Namaste. Un roman de aventuri spirituale în India)
If Sega’s people weren’t properly prepared, then it was because he had failed to prepare them. As president and CEO, he would always get more credit than he deserved, and even more so always get more of the blame. That’s just how it worked.

While never ultimately commercially successful, the Dreamcast is home to the most expensive-to-produce games made to date. Shenmue and Shenmue 2 cost more than $70 million at the time; Sega would have needed to sell two copies of each game for each Dreamcast sold, just to break even.

L’infamia che copre questa apoteosi della sensazione sta nella bruttezza delle parole che si usano per parlarne. “Farsi una sega” suona nevrotico, “menarselo” è idiota, “accarezzarsi” fa tanto cagnolino, “masturbarsi” è disgustoso (c’è qualcosa di spugnoso in questo verbo, anche in latino), “toccarsi” non vuol dire niente. “Ti sei toccato?” domanda il confessore. Certo! Altrimenti come faccio a lavarmi? Ne ho discusso a lungo con Etienne e i compagni. Credo di aver trovato l’espressione giusta: prendersi in mano. D’ora in avanti, quando un adulto mi raccomanderà di prendere in mano la mia vita, potrò prometterglielo senza correre il rischio di mentirgli.

I went up to him and asked Sonic’s true creator where that spark of an idea had come from. He’s really shy, this unassuming kid, and I expected him to say something like ‘It was a team effort,’ or ‘It was just one of those things,’ but he smiles really small and he says: ‘I just put Felix the Cat on the body of Mickey Mouse.

This new model could record for up to two hours, but in Sony’s effort to rush this product to market, they made the mistake of not allowing for backward compatibility. Sony’s original Betamax tapes didn’t work on their new VCR, which alienated most of their initial customer base.

evidence suggests that its popularity spread from Disney’s 1958 Academy Award–winning documentary White Wilderness, which highlighted this unusual and unnatural behavior.

El momento en que Sony mató al SEGA de consolas y puso en sendos apuros por una década a Nintendo, fue cuando en plena E3 de 1995, se subió al escenario el presidente de Sony America, y dio el discurso más efectivo y corto en la Historia, diciendo: 299. Se refería al precio de venta de la PSX, la primera consola de la compañía PlayStation, $299 dólares. Por comparación la N64 salió $199 y la Saturn, primer clavo en el ataúd de SEGA, $399. Me parece que no hace falta decir cómo resultaron las cosas.

What Goodby unveiled at the Crowne Plaza was unlike anything Kalinske and his colleagues had ever seen before. Quick cuts. Crazy zooms. Wild camera angles. It felt less like watching a regular commercial than like fast-forwarding through one on the VCR. Loud punk music. Intense lens flares. Aggressive close-ups. It looked sort of like a music video, but only if that music video was suffering from manic-depression and had just ingested a cocktail of heroin, cocaine, and speed. Weird lighting, unpretty actors, nonlinear storytelling—the whole thing was off-putting, migraine-inducing, and offensive to the senses, but it was absolutely incredible. And to tie it all together, at the end of every spot some maniac shouted, “Sega!” “And just remember,” Goodby said as the video presentation came to an end, “we’re only a short drive away.” He then played a short video clip of himself, Silverstein, and a few other guys whacking golf balls off the roof of their office building. Except whenever they hit the ball, the real reaction shot was replaced with footage of golf balls hitting Sega of America headquarters. During the ground-shaking applause that followed, Nilsen subtly elbowed Kalinske. “What did you think?” Kalinske blinked for a second, then replied, “I think vidspeak just became a dead language. Sorry, hedgy wedgy.” He was practically in a state of shock. This was it—everything he had wanted. The tone was edgy, but not too sharp. It cut, but only deep enough to leave a cool scar.

Kalinske then described what made the videogame industry unique, what made it superbly unpredictable, and what tomorrow might or might not bring. But along this wild roller-coaster ride, there was one thing that would not change. “Suspension of disbelief. It’s always been the fundamental component of diversion, whether that diversion is books, movies, or the theater. Advances in gaming mean we will come to supply that component more effectively than any other medium. The interactive entertainment business is going to allow the Walter Mitty in all of us to finally realize our dreams. We are going to become great football players, race car drivers, or aviators. We are going to move into and occupy new worlds that were formerly only available to us in dreams.

Use letters. Four-hundred-ish. It takes up way more space.

Are you honestly going to let these people keep turning in something they bought in 1987 for the rest of their lives?” “Well,” someone said after a collective shrug, “what’s the alternative?” “I just told you the alternative!” Main declared. “Our ninety-day return policy. I think that you will agree that three months is more than enough time to figure out if something is defective. Is that really too much to ask of your customers?” “Guests,” Target’s senior VP said, forcefully pronouncing the word. “Huh?” Main said, mentally replaying his previous sentence. “Which guests?” “You said customers. But at Target we don’t think of our visitors that way. We consider them guests and we treat them as such.

The game in question had been dreamed up by a pair of game designers named Ed Boon and John Tobias.

which was named after the English translation of Nihon Goraku Bussan, “Service Games”—hence SEGA Enterprises.

It was as if after a decade of conservative politics under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, Sonic’s combination of speed, attitude, and energy seemed to embody the promise of the 1990s.
