    SEGA Sells VC to Microsoft

    In a surprise press release made only to the most trusted name in gaming: GameInformer (the same reputable magazine that gave WSB the lowest overall ranking of the baseball games this year); SEGA confirmed that it has sold it's stake in Visual Concepts (the developer of the Sega Sports lineup) to Microsoft.

    Details on the deal were sketchy, but apparently Microsoft paid Sega in Euros which were converted to US Dollars, which were converted to Japanese Yen, which were converted to Dutch Guilders, and then converted back to US Dollars. The total sale price at the end of the transaction was $6.58. Microsoft also agreed to chance the name of the new division to Visual Animation Gaming Institue of North America, or VAGINA for short.

    In related news, Bill Gates announced that he will personally be developing (he's a software engineer at heart) his own line of Sports games under the new VAGINA Sports brand. Expected first is a simulation of dodgeball starring Larry Ellison of Sun, Steve Jobs of Apple, and Bill himself...Bill has rendered Jobs and Ellison without hands, and coded in the ability for the ball to deflate, and explode when it touches them...Bill is the only winner in the game, the goal of which is to collect $100 billion.
    The second release is a "Dating Sim" in which you take the role of a gangly nerd who has not showered in 3 weeks but who literally ****s cash. More details were not available...
    The first online game from Gates' new studio is expected to be a sequel to Monopoly, there is no actual gameplay, but you submit $10.00 to Gates in exchange for buggy, crash-ridden software for your Xbox...
