SG Flix had hoped to bring back to original format this week, but audio issues forced us to postpone. We still have another delicious BKR for you to enjoy. In this week’s Be Kind Rewind: Dave, Jitterbug and Yoshifett frolic through the 80′s cult classic, Big Trouble In Little China.  Still recovering from 25 hours of Star Wars, the crew went 3 episodes deep with this movie.

Sarcastic Gamer.  Let me say that again.  Sarcastic Gamer.  That name has always and will always bring back great memories.  I’m not normally sentimental and sappy, but I’m making an exception here.  For the past three years, I’ve had the opportunity NAY the privilege to podcast for a great little gaming website.  And now it’s time to move on to the next endeavor.

Let me take you on a wee journey.  Back in early 2008, I was listening to Gamercast Network’s Video Game Show podcast.  I heard a short promo talking about Sarcastic Gamer’s Red Show and decided to have a listen.  That was around episode 7 or 8.  I loved the casual gaming talk and was happy to find the website had the same atmosphere.

That is what always drove me back to Sarcastic Gamer.  We never generally didn’t take things too seriously.  We had fun while we created content that, thankfully, others found enjoyable to consume.

A few months later, I submitted a Fiction Friday article as my application to become a staff member on the site.  I was accepted and was WAY TOO EXCITED.  I’d be working alongside Doc? Dave? Rothbart? Frawlz? Pacman? These guys were in my ears every day and now I’d be getting emails and phone calls from them.  DUDE!  Shortly after, the site announced that they were opening a podcast channel for anyone and everyone that wanted to submit content.  I had never done a podcast before but was crazy enthusiastic to give it a whirl.  I called up my brother (Smelly Pirate), a former coworker that I had spent hours upon hours with in Call of Duty and Gears of War (Saint Mantooth), and another good friend of mine that I perform improv comedy with (Don Marco).  The result was the Panda Watch Podcast.

Fast forward over three years later and we have recorded over 130 episodes (Panda Watch, Humpday Update and SG Brown), produced over 80 parody songs, and made exponentially more friends along the way.  And quite honestly, that’s the part that matters the most to me.  The grind of podcasting every single week is taxing.  But it’s all worth it, knowing that our listeners are enjoying our content.

You, the listener and reader, are why we are NOT stopping the show.  More songs are yet to come.  More bathroom humor.  More Don Marco.  More Brown.  The name may change but everything else will remain the same.  And it’s because of you guys.  Thank you for being so accepting of our silly little show.  Off the top of my head, thank you to TamarindLAZ (first bud!), Fisherman, ChickenX, Sir Firo, Blinkcard, Mahagna, Fisherman (yes twice…you deserve bro), Mcnally3000, MTaylo050, jvmaxwell (AKA i5-2500k!), stingo, NMReign, JJMAC (old school yo), heyfling, hollitz, MercenaryR56, DarkTAO, KCohere.  If I left you out, I apologize.  Nothin but love for ya.

To my cohosts that I’m actually continuing to record episodes with… Thanks for putting up with me!  I know that every few months I go from “accusing everyone that you’re not doing enough for the show” to “Can I quit doing this every week?”  You are my Rispiradone.  And for that I am thankful … also, you guys SERIOUSLY need to pick up the freaking slack on pre-made content. Stop slacking.  I WILL send an email.  YOU KNOW I’LL DO IT.

Thanks for everything SG.  See ya on the flip side.

After four years of fun, it is with a heavy heart that I find myself, entirely by my own choice, departing Sarcastic Gamer. Though I am comforted by being able to continue working with the great team of staff that I met through SG, it still saddens me that it has come to this.

To say Sarcastic Gamer saved my life is perhaps a little overly melodramatic … but not by much! It is certainly fair to say that it had a massively positive effect on my life, and I will be eternally grateful to Doc and Dave for the chances they have given me and the friendships they have enabled me to share.

Sarcastic Gamer was the first time in my life that I was given conclusive proof that the internet could be used to make real life friends. To be bluntly honest, friends have never been too hard to come by in my life. Either because I’ve just been lucky or because making new friends is not that difficult a thing to do for someone as easy-going and friendly as I pride myself on being. However, good friendships are extremely valuable to me. Part of the reason that I joined a gaming community was that the majority of my close friends were not as much of a *cringe* hardcore gamer */cringe* as I was. I really enjoyed just chatting about games on the forums with people, even a long while before I was posting on the front page. Regua was the first person on the forums (before either of us were staff) that I regarded as a friend and have since gone on to add a number of other staff and forum members to that list. I fully expect a vast number of the friendships I have formed, both locally and around the globe, to continue for the rest of my life.

I started on SG as the resident comic artist, which I always found amusing, given that I can’t draw. This started a trend, as I then went on to start writing for the site (when I couldn’t write) and then went on to podcast (when I couldn’t podcast). A lesson in never letting something that you can’t do stop you from doing it! With a good bit of work, help from those around me and a lot of practice, I feel that I grew into any role that I threw myself into. I certainly do not think I became an expert in any of the fields, but I have at least elevated my skills to the point where I had a good, rewarding time producing the content with the people I got to work with. I was always thankful that people were kind enough to regularly comment that they enjoyed my work. I am truly grateful for the multitude of positive comments I have had over the years.  They are the fuel that feeds my creative fire. Despite the general warnings of “that is just the way that internet commentors are,” I have always been fortunate that the overwhelming majority of comments on my work have been, almost alarmingly, positive. On the odd occasion that was not the case, it was usually as I had been misguided down the path of being an internet troll. I long ago accepted that this was the quick, lazy, childish way to get ahead in the internet. Many people have, and will continue to have, success with it. And good luck to those that do. It was not suited to the way I like to conduct myself in life and is not the best way for me to contribute to the world.

After a few years of fun times and hard work, a number of great gaming opportunities came my way. Being Dragon punched in the face by the man that made Street Fighter (the awesome Ono-san) was a definite highlight. As was being driven round a racetrack by a man formally known as “The Stig” in a Porsche being chased by two Need for Speed style Lamborghini cop cars. That kind of thing doesn’t happen every day. That may even be a level above what I get to do in video games! Then there was visiting BioWare’s studios in Edmonton, Alberta. While I will always fondly remember my first visit to a gaming studio (to go see the lovely people at Relentless Software), visiting Canada was special. BioWare have made some of my favourite games of all time and getting to visit the place where all that magic was made, in a strange far away snow covered land, was very much the epic blogging quest of my dreams. And I lived through it. Then blogged and podcasted about it, so everyone else could BASICALLY share in my adventures.

I got a lot from Sarcastic Gamer, and I like to think I gave a lot back. I would like to reiterate my deeply humble gratitude to Doc and Dave for the invitation to be Sarcastic with them. It has been an absolute blast that has changed my life forever. Goodbye seems oddly inappropriate and words, not for the last time, fail me. So, I’ll leave you with a semi-appropriate quote from one of my favourite authors: “So long and thanks for all the fish.”

NB: 107 small kittens were harmed in the making of this resignation post.

Editor’s note: SmellyPirate says goodbye by sharing one of his favorite articles from the SG archives.  Where we’re going, we don’t need buns.

A few weeks ago, purveyor of greasy fare Kentucky Fried Chicken unleashed its latest attempt to fast-track consumers to early graves: the Double Down sandwich.  The chain restaurant’s newest fat bomb arrived in my lap in the form of two pieces of bacon, two slices of cheese and the Colonel’s secret sauce, all wedged between two breaded, white-meat chicken fillets. KFC has bucked fast-food norms with this caloric beast by ditching the carb-heavy buns altogether.

The Double Down sandwich is, admittedly, quite delicious. Just be prepared to ingest 540 calories, 32 grams of fat and 1,380 milligrams of sodium. Yikes!

What can I say about this … this … monstrosity?  If I was 17 years old, this would be the kind of sandwich that I would buy at least three times a week.  I mean, who really wants to bother with hamburger buns? Merely a load of empty calories.  And yet, as I ate the Double Down, I felt a peculiar sense of gluttonous guilt.  It was, interestingly enough, akin to the feeling I get as a 31-year-old gamer on a five-hour marathon, neglecting family, friends and bodily functions.

And then I realized that the only time in my adult life that I have been able to gorge on video games without being overwrought with self-loathing and guilt was Oct. 17, 2009.  Extra Life transformed a mindless orgy of junk food and video games into a benevolent act of defiance against pediatric cancer.

So, KFC (or Doc) convince me that eating this sandwich will somehow heal sick children, resurrect dead kittens or facilitate the replacement of DeathByWaffle’s nipples, and I will eat it as much as my colon will allow.  Otherwise, it is simply too much of a caloric indulgence to justify repeated consumption.

Verdict: rental
