The life of an internet Blogger can be a treacherous one. When Doc sets Dave a simple Blogging challenge and enlists the help of Yamster, the fastest new writer on SG, what could possibly go wrong? While Dave tries to deal with his Blog backlog, Animathias tries to help Lono through some problems of his own…

See how it all goes down after the hop… (more…)

Here’s another post fresh from the Sarcastic Gamer Community blogs, this time coming from Danish SGC member Trigger95, who’s been having a little ponder about gay characters in video games. Remember, getting onto the front page is as easy as signing up for an account on the forums and getting to work in your own personal community blog. We’ll be keeping an eye out for any articles that really stand out and putting them up here. Good work, Trigger95.

I just heard the special GTA IV podcast and it really got me thinking. Lono’s reaction to the Bernie character especially seemed to hit home. Lono was slightly upset that Bernie was too much of a stereotype, a token feminine gay man, and indeed he is. His character is incredibly stereotyped, even Elton John would struggle to attain Bernie’s level of gayness, but is this really a problem?

Here’s another post fresh from the Sarcastic Gamer Community Blogs and two day in a row front page blogger, Toshi!. If you fancy getting onto the front page of Sarcastic Gamer, head on over to the forums, sign up for an account and get writing in your own personal blog. If it’s funny, written well enough or just plain awesome, it might end up right here. Another good job, Toshi!

I know that every method of gaming has its die hard fans that worship the ground their chosen platform walks on. While I’ve heard of the fanaticism of PS3 fanboys, I haven’t heard much about the PC fanatics. My first gaming experiences were on the NES, Genesis and SNES, but around that time I got my first PC. To some extent, I still am a PC gamer, even though the majority of my gaming is done on my 360. What I have a hard time doing, is understanding the finality with which PC gamers decree that their way of gaming is the alpha and omega of gaming. I’m open to hear people debate the reasons they think their gaming platform of choice is the best, but I’ve been rather let down by the oversimplified arguments of my co-worker, who is a die-hard PC gamer.

Let me touch on these arguments, after the jump.

Editor’s Note: Sarcastic Gamer Community member Toshi post this humorous account to his User Blog. Thanks Toshi!

I work with a dyed in the wool gamer who would give up gaming entirely if he couldn’t use his precious PC . While it’s fun having someone to talk games with, his arrogant attitude makes me want to smash his keyboard over his head. He talks unending amounts of trash about how he’s a gaming god (slight exaggeration, but he’s pretty confident that he’s amazing), or how his computer is the ultimate and only gaming machine. There’s no respect for ANY console out there.
