The Botanical Garden. Olympus Trip 35. Colorama Smart Film 200. (Expired 2005 and shot at 125iso.)

When the sun is out The Botanical Garden in the Baltic Triangle is one of the best places for a drink and a chill. They have been open during the warmer months for four or five years.

This year I went down with my camera in their first week open. I got a lovely pizza from the kitchen and a non-alcoholic drink as I was driving.

Sonic to get "several new mobile titles" in the future, according to SEGA management meeting document

The Sonic the Hedgehog series is expected to receive "several new titles" for mobile platforms, SEGA's parent company confirmed in a management meeting early Wednesday.

Apple and Google were both named as "key players" in the mobile sector for SEGA, as the publisher detailed an encompassing transmedia scheme for the blue blur, which will include licencing and collaborations with other third-party properties.

"Several new" mobile games under development

With an established presence thanks to the likes of free apps like Sonic Dash and Sonic Forces Speed Battle, the franchise looks set to dive in the world of mobile gaming, as part of SEGA's future plans.

The publisher did not rule out exclusivity clauses with subscription-based mobile gaming services. In recent days, the publisher signed a contract with Apple to produce Sonic Dream Team, and Netflix announced a mobile port of Sonic Mania Plus for their game subscription service.

No word of a specific timeframe for the aforementioned mobile games, currently in development.

Future Sonic mobile games to adopt Rovio's Beacon toolkit

As part of the mobile expansion, the upcoming slate is expected to adopt "Beacon", an internal development and marketing toolkit powered by machine learning, frequently utilized by Rovio, the Finnish studio behind Angry Birds that SEGA acquired over the summer.

The studio described Beacon as a platform to "build games and get games to market, models to profitably grow and monetize the game and live operations tools to maximize our players’ fun."

The toolkit has been criticized in a number of fan-run Angry Birds forums for incentivizing revenue at the expense of gameplay quality.

SEGA did not disclose if the Beacon platform will extend beyond the present suite of HARDlight mobile games.

More details on SEGA's resurrection of classic hits

SEGA also unveiled these new images and descriptions for the five new games announced at The Game Awards, described as a "power surge" to re-electrify their classic hits, like Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.

Crazy Taxi: Innovative & Fresh Style Driving Action! Cheerful feeling of freedom and fusion of nature and city. Peel out the new stage of Crazy City!

Jet Set Radio: "Counter-Culture" - Tokyo Street Open World! Experience the "rebellion" movement that feels free in a suffocating society. Make friends, increase your fans, and create a movement!

Shinobi: Slay the enemies in the silence of the moment. Run through the world of Shinobi, full of monsters and ninja actions. Grab Oberozuki, the legendary sword and slay evil once more. Your clan and the world are counting on you.

Golden Axe: Warriors arise to subdue the demons! Defeat your enemies with a variety of attacks with swords and magic! The legendary story about the battle axe, Golden Axe is about to begin!

Streets of Rage Revolution: Beloved side-scrolling beat 'em up action series! Take control of one of the ex-officers and make the city a place where people no longer have to walk the "Streets of Rage."

The announcement coincided with SEGA's plans to strengthen their flagship video game brands like Persona and Like a Dragon, and to expand with legacy properties.

What if Alastor isn't anti-new tech but just anti-VoxTek? Like as far as we know, VoxTek is the only tech game right now. What if someone started a rival tech company and suddenly Alastor is posting food pics on sinstgram.

Big Bird Shot Dead in Apparent Gang Related Shooting

SESAME STREET - Residents of Sesame Street have been in shock today after the tragic death of beloved feathered icon Big Bird, who authorities say was caught in the middle of what appears to be a gang related altercation. According to police reports, Big Bird, who was known for his towering height, vibrant yellow feathers, and friendly demeanor, was found unresponsive near the corner of Hooper Avenue and Ernie Boulevard earlier this morning.

Witnesses say they heard gunshots being fired, followed by a loud “AWK!” and then what sounded like fellow puppets fleeing the scene. In the aftermath, Big Bird was seen lying lifelessly on the ground, with his feathers everywhere. Detectives are now in the process of investigating links between this shooting and the ongoing turf wars between the Sesame Street Crips and the Alphabet Boyz, two notorious puppet crews that claim Sesame Street as their turf that have had a longstanding rivalry over their claims, both believing that they should have total control of Sesame Street.

“It’s a dirty game out here,” said local homeless man and reluctant witness, Oscar the Grouch. “You don’t live this long on the block without seeing a few feathers get ruffled.” Big Bird’s unexpected demise comes amid rising tensions in the usually safe and family oriented neighborhood.

Sources say that the Alphabet Boyz, who is believed to be led by local street legend Elmo “RedRum” Furchester, recently violently took control of some of the Sesame Street Crips’ territory, undermining Big Bird’s previous peacekeeping efforts. Known as a mediator in Sesame Street’s longstanding gang politics, Big Bird had previously tried to unite all parties with his infamous mantra, “Why can’t we all just get along?”

“He was like a big brother to all of us,” said Cookie Monster, a longtime friend of Big Bird, who was visibly shaken and holding onto what reporters believed was his fifth cookie of the day. “Big Bird was trying to teach us all about friendship and kindness. Now, all we have left is crumbs.”

The suspected leader of the Sesame Street Crips, known only as “Bert,” refused to comment on the incident, while his partner in crime, a man that goes by “Ernie,” who was seen sporting two gold chains with the letters “ABC” and the numbers “123” on them, simply said, “I ain’t got nothin’ to say. Ernie ain’t no snitch, ya heard?”

Authorities are now urging all residents of Sesame Street to stay indoors during the night, lock their toy chests, and to be on the lookout for any suspicious individuals, including but not limited to “anything with googly eyes.” In a statement to the media, Sesame Street’s HOA would emphasize the need for unity during this time: “Sesame Street has always been about inclusion, but sometimes, all it takes is one bad apple… Or in this case, a rogue red puppet.”

A vigil will be held in Big Bird’s honor tonight, where residents will be gathering to sing Big Bird’s favorite songs and recount all the lessons that they taught them.
