Yamster

        

meetthestaff-yamster Name: Jon Brady (Yamster to ye SG folks).
Country: Scotland (the top bit of the UK). It's not really a country of its own, but we're different enough from everyone below the border. And we're devolved!
What do you do on the site? Make the articles a little easier on the brain to read. Or maybe a little harder. I dun do English gud.
Consoles Owned: PS3, PSP, Wii, PS2, PSone, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance SP, methinks that's it.
Introduce yourself, go! I'm a Scot, but I'm not ginger and I don't like haggis. I have ridiculously stupid hair. I'm at university doing games development, as if that will improve my integrity on this website. Oh, and unlike some other editors, I'm not a massive wimp and will happily put a photo of myself up for your delectation. Or disgust. One or t'other, lad.
What do you do in your freetime? Absolutely nothing bar the occasional movie, gaming session with friends or 12,000 mile walk. I also think I can take photographs because I have a nice camera, and I spend a good bit of time drawing adorable little Yamatars for you lot. Oh, and I tweet. A lot. Try and ignore me when I've had a few.
Do you wear anything under your kilt? That's for me to know and you to find out when I'm drunk.

 


PWN cancer with Mad Catz and The Who

February 5th, 2010 · No Comments

It’s safe to say that SarcasticGamer.com is a big fan of kicking cancer’s ass, especially if it’s affecting the lives of those a lot younger than most of us, which is why to read about something like this is such great news.
The Superbowl’s coming up, as most of you already know. The Who are performing [...]

WRC in Gran Turismo 5? Nobody told these guys.

February 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Rally driving is one of those things, like prog rock, that appears immensely boring from the outside, because it’s populated by anoraks and hardcore fans who are also relentlessly boring. Secretly, we all think it’s kickass. Sometimes it takes a Rush, or a Dream Theater, or in the case of rallying, a Colin McRae, or [...]

Global Game Jam 2010…and this time, it’s personal

January 28th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Okay, it’s not really personal. It’s just a sweet tagline I figured I’d slot on at the end.
Anyway. We love games. If you’re reading this site, the chances are you love games. As I’m writing for this site, you can safely assume I love me some games too. Some guys even love making them, as you’ve [...]

PS3 H4XX0R3D, but is it worth it?

January 25th, 2010 · 8 Comments

Remember George Hotz? He was the first to unlock the iPhone so he could use a network other than AT&T.  Well, he’s back with a vengeance!  Mister Hotz has gone and hacked a PS3.  Egads!
Now, I know what you’re thinking: the PS3 has been a near-impenetrable fortress since day one, and it’s taken literally years for [...]

LEGO Rock Band shows us how NOT to export songs

January 23rd, 2010 · 2 Comments

You might remember, once upon a time, that I reviewed a music game called LEGO Rock Band.  In this review, I sang the praises of its childish charms and its more-often-hit-than-miss setlist.
I figured it was high time that I got round to exporting the songs to the other Rock Band games I own to avoid [...]

SG Analysis: iPhone 6G to feature “less for more”

January 18th, 2010 · No Comments

The rumours just don’t stop, do they? With an Apple event just a week or so around the corner, most eyes of the tech world are on the iSlate tablet computer which — if the whisperings are to believed — will mix the best parts of an iMac and an iPhone together in one package.
Of [...]

SG Review: Darksiders

January 14th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Putting it out there right away, Darksiders is a treat and a half out of the blue. Simple as that. While the hype was either not there or only to be found in dribbles, THQ and the up-and-coming folks over at Vigil Games have delivered what could have been dismissed as yet another adventure game [...]

Sarcastic Gamer’s GAMES OF THE DECADE Two Page Extravaganza

January 6th, 2010 · 31 Comments

CAPITAL LETTERS, YOU GUYS. This is big. Pretty big. Bigger than the whole decade put together. That’s big, right?
Right. Before it becomes anymore 2010 than it is already (almost a week in, d’oh) I figured I’d gather a few of the Sarcastic Gamer Super Squad — “staff” — and their Games of the Decade for [...]

Wii don’t want “grown-up” games

January 6th, 2010 · 4 Comments

There’s been a bit of bubbapalooza the past couple of days concerning Wii games and how the more mature ones are faring on the shelves of your local Gamestop (short answer: they’re not). If you needed a bigger hint than that, Sega have decided they’re not making any more grown-up Wii games following the disastrous [...]

The Top 5: Most Interesting Sleeps.

December 29th, 2009 · 4 Comments

When you have insomnia you’re never really asleep and you’re never really awake. In videogames you’re definitely awake because you’re playing a videogame. You can’t play a videogame asleep, what are you?
Your character on the other hand is often asleep, this is a fact. The article you’re about to read isn’t fact, it’s opinion. I prefer cats [...]
