You can now watch us on Twitch and shout at us on Discord!

It's 2021 apparently, so we thought we might as well at least attempt to remain relevant and 'down with the kids.' That's the term the kids use right? I wouldn't know, being almost 40 years old and still using a Nokia 3310 to send texts and play Snake as I wait for my VHS tapes to rewind before I take them back to Blockbuster. 

Anyway, enough of that balderdash. People apparently enjoy things called Twitch and Discord these days, so we've gone and created one of each. A Twitch and a Discord. Why somebody hasn't combined the two to create 'Ditch' I don't know, but that seems like the eventual evolution; the final form if you will. A single website where you can watch videos and scream at people from behind a veil of anonymity. I could make a billion dollars with an idea like that. Um.

So yes. Please head to our Twitch channel to occasionally watch various members of the team play Dreamcast games; and head over to our Discord server to chat with us and other like-minded Dreamcast fans about all things Dreamcast, Sega, and just gaming in general if you like. As an added bonus you can also access it on a Nokia 3310. Actually, that's a lie - just like the cake. Sorry.

Streaming schedule

As well as Twitch, we'll also be making more use of our existing YouTube channel to stream too, with Kev streaming on the last Thursday of every month. Here's the deets!

  • Twitch: James will be streaming a community voted DC game on Saturday 23rd January,  8PM GMT
  • YouTube: Kev's Video Game Book Club. Streaming Sega GT on Thursday 28th January, 8PM GMT

We'll mainly be announcing upcoming streams on Twitter so make sure you follow us there too. Cheers...and enjoy!

Help Support SEGA Raise Funds For Special Effect!

SEGA Europe is raising money for the most noble of causes - gaming charity Special Effect, an outfit devoted to enabling those with disabilities to enjoy the most awesome pastime of all time: gaming! The Gameblast 18 event will see various members of the SEGA and Hardlight teams take part in a 24-hour gaming session, during which a multitude of games will be played, rivalries will be formed and souls will will undoubtedly still burn well into the wee hours.

The entire stream will be...erm...streamed on that Twitch thing - you know, that thing the cool kids are all using these days. Personally, I have very little idea what Twitch actually is, and that's because I only ever browse the internet with a Dreamcast and a copy of Dreamkey 3.0. Can't knock me for living the dream, can you?
Anyway, SEGA Europe is trying to raise just £2,000 for Special Effect in an attempt to help all of our fellow gamers who have serious disabilities enjoy games in the same way everybody else does. I'm pretty confident we can help them smash this total though. With me? Then go here to Just Giving and donate what you can. I just gave a tenner because I'm skint after buying a new motorbike, but every little helps. You can also watch the stream here or by using the window below once the stream starts at 6pm UK time on Friday 23rd February. Thanks all!

Update:
It appeats that SEGA Europe successfully reached their target of £2000 - well done to all involved and all those who donated!
