This feature is for those of you who only check Sarcastic Gamer for their gaming news, or those of you who haven’t had enough time to catch up on all the latest happenings. The staff here at SG are, after all, only human and it’s impossible for us to cover all Yamster’s posts, let alone every single piece of news that comes out. Therefore here are the things we missed (and the things we didn’t miss) in a handy link dump format. Enjoy!

Note: Sorry that this feature has been absent for a few weeks.
