Name: Eoco
Country: The land of crumpets, where tea precipitation and monocle hail are quite common. Some say that (from above) this magical place has the appearance of an asparagus-colored patchwork quilt. Others do not.
What do you do on the site? When not hastily answering emails, or alienating the Sarcastic Gamer readership with sesquipedalian posts, Eoco edits all articles that go on the site (along with his co-editor, Yamster) and writes about himself in the third person at every opportunity. He has a bothersome habit of starting new 'regular' columns that are in no way regular, and wrote the Sarcastic Gamer 'About' page. Oh, and he adores parentheses (seriously, he loves them!)
Consoles Owned: Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, Playstation 2, Nintendo DS, Playstation Portable, iPhone
Introduce yourself, go! Wow, this question certainly puts me under a lot of pressure! Why did it feel the need to employ such discourteous interrogating techniques like a monosyllabic 'go' and stern exclamation mark? Personified punctuation aside, I am a video game and gadget nerd who spends his time regretting the vast amount of internet browsing he did the previous day. I still remember cheat codes to games I haven't owned for years, and am currently engaged in an achievement war that can only be described as unhealthy. I also look like an elf.
What do you do in your freetime? When not doing the things mentioned above, you will most likely find me in the corner of a room at a 'social event' craning my neck for a power outlet, at which I can continue the things mentioned above.
Hook slide? Yes. Very yes.

We know what you’re thinking: it’s impossible. How could an online store selling downloadable e-goods have an inventory blowout when there is no inventory to blowout? Digital downloads don’t take up shelf space! We tried to wrap our heads around this conundrum, but our skulls aren’t as malleable as they used to be, so our brains [...]

Remember when copies of Stadium Events were turning up on eBay and selling for large sums of money? Well, something similar is happening right now, only with a different game! This time, rare Atari 2600 title Air Raid is trying its luck in the e-auction house and is currently going for the grand price of $7,100. The game, which has been sitting [...]

This article was part of Sarcastic Gamer’s 2010 April Fools’ Day prank. On April 1, 2010, we transformed the website into a doorknob fan site, posting a bunch of articles about doors and doorknobs, as well as a special doorknob podcast (the ‘Knobcast’). That’s why this post isn’t about video games. Feel free to read [...]

The latest cover of … sorry, we just can’t do it: our joke in the title was just too hilarious and we can’t stop laughing! You get it, right? “Portal series is still alive.” It’s from the song at the end of the game? The one where it says “This was a triumph. I’m making [...]

Or perhaps the most depressed and bitter joke shop owner to ever feature in a video game! Seriously, he sounds like he actually resents Harry’s purchase of stink pellets! He might as well have said “I execrate jokes, selling things and, above all, selling jokes!” After the phrase “pack of ten” lethargically slithered out his [...]

February is typically a month where many of us succumb to that foul illness known in some circles as the ‘common cold’. In other circles it’s known as ‘acute viral rhinopharyngitis’ or ‘viral upper respiratory tract infection’ (according to Dr. Wikipedia!). Regardless of which circle you find yourself in, though, one thing is sure: colds [...]

Approximately 2.470524 × 1016 nanoseconds ago (at the time of writing), the first Previously on Sarcastic Gamer debuted; it’s haphazard formatting and laconic writing style ensured mass lambaste from … well, the entire Sarcastic Gamer reader ship (which, by the way, boasts a very tall mast and a barnacle-covered hull.) A lot has changed since [...]

You know how on television they always have that situation where a group of people come up with a plan that happens to hinge on a particularly undesirable task? None of the group want to carry out the task, and so they sit around a table to decide who should do it. After about five [...]

If there’s one thing we learned at our compulsory two hour writing course entitled “You Can Be Funny Too: On Your Way to Making Readers Laugh”, it’s that the hottest articles don’t always have to feature the hottest scoops. It’s a bit like trying to prepare warm ice cream: you don’t have to heat up [...]

Video posts are a bit like erasers. They’re quite easy to make, are usually short and you’ve probably seen them a bajillion times before. However, being expert video game journalists we feel the need to provide our readers with a little visual media once in a while, even if it is a bit like an [...]
