The Sarcastic Gamer Duelist League, Week 10 (Nov 18-Nov 24): Bounty Hunting with Modern Warfare 2!

November 17th, 2009 · No Comments

wantedposter

He is an anomaly in the Matrix, dodging your curtains of bullets and flung hand grenades with the greatest of ease.

He is Maximus, stabbing your Roman emperor ass in the middle of the arena after you thought you’d already beaten him.

He is tip-toeing into your room while you sleep, cooking off grenades and stuffing them in your nightie like some twisted version of the Tooth Fairy.  Only he’s the cooked-off-grenade-fairy.

He is The Stoned Sheep, and no one can stop him.  His unbeaten win streak has gone unchallenged…

Until now…

I want him beaten.  Just once.   I want his bullet-riddled body dragged behind a chariot in the middle of town for everyone to see.  Someone needs to take him off of his unbeaten kill streak.  And I’m offering a reward to the SG member that can bring him down.

Speaking of leaderboard, let’s take a look-see, shall we?  After the jump!

WIN!!! LEFT4DEAD2 – BE FREELY KILLING ZOMBIES TONIGHT!

November 17th, 2009 · 26 Comments

left4dead2-Comp-header

You too could be killing zombies tonight – For FREE – WIN COPIES OF LEFT4DEAD2! Win today, play today!

With the launch of LEFT4DEAD2 on Steam last night, a new wave of the zombie horde is upon us! Keeping yourself away from the threat of brain munching may be more difficult than ever, but at least this time around you have even more tools to get the job done. With a host of new weapons including melee weapons to help get up close and personal, and in case things go slightly awry (and by”awry”, I mean having your face gnawed of by a zombie) then the new defibrillator should help save the day.

Aside from having the right tools for the job, the best thing we can do in the face of this AI directed zombie apocalypse is to gather as many survivors together in one place and all try and fight this thing together.  So here at Sarcastic Gamer 4 codes for copies of the game we have acquired (on Steam) to give to the most Sarcastic Survivors we can find. We want to get you playing the game by the end of the day, so you are going to have to be quick on the draw…

Full details of how to win after the jump…

PRIZES ANNOUNCED! END DATE ANNOUNCED! RULE CHANGES!  In other words, you’d better read the post, people.

Happy Modern Warfare 2 Day, everyone!  It also happens to be the day your grandfathers fought the Nazi scourge off the beaches of Normandy so your chunk ass could sit in a recliner and teabag people you shoot in the face in a video game.   The US calls it “Veteran’s Day”, and yes, I will be enjoying my day off with a little grenade spam.

Oooh.  Too soon?

Hit me after the jump for the updated leaderboard and all the updated information for Duelist League!

The Sarcastic Gamer Duelist League, Week 7 (Oct 28-Nov 3): Team Fortress 2

October 28th, 2009 · No Comments

logrolling

Well, the Uncharted 2/Brutal Legend Duelist League week had an unprecedented number of fatalities at the hands of  newcomer Stoned Sheep.  Not only did he beat all challengers at mutliplayer (including yours truly), but he then went on to take humiliating still screenshots of him kicking the hell out of each and every opponent.  Usually, this involved him holding onto a grenade launcher and his opponent being blown into small pieces.   It was not pretty.

A few caveats: I started a match with Astro Nit.  I beat him on the practice, then he won the first of three matches, and then he had to leave, so I gave him five points for coming out and mixing it up.  Also, Eao and Stoned Sheep’s match apparently didn’t happen because of connectivity issues (Eao’s from Cairo? Wowza!).

So, Mr. Stoned Sheep rockets his way to the top of the leaderboard while everyone else if left to lick their wounds.  Let’s take a look at what the new leaderboard looks like!

"Alas and alack! I am teh OWNED!"

"Alas and alack! I am teh OWNED!"

In honor of two of the larger titles to hit the shelves in some time (in my opinion), we’re going to double up on them for this week’s Duelist League:  Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2!  Of course, if I could do a Demon’s Souls Duelist League week, I totally would.

Maybe you people need to look at the leaderboard, but all that separates 1st place from 4th place is one match!  It’s still anyone’s ball game!  Shiny prizes await those at the top three! Hit the jump to see who you your competition is! Official sign ups here!

So here’s the gist.  We want you to break something.  Specifically a game you don’t mind destroying to get your hands on ALL THREE Red Faction: Guerilla expansions.  (more…)

Hey, cutie, why don't you put down the lightsaber and....WHOA!

I came up with this great idea to get people into dueling and totally forgot about until the day before Extra Life!  Der, way to promote your contest, dipstick.

The Sarcastic Gamer Duelist League, Week 5 (Oct 14-20): Street Fighter IV!

October 15th, 2009 · No Comments

s1-Arm-wrestling-2

Okay, look. Just because I can’t draw any neat-o logos or graphics of your Xbox avatars in race jumpsuits and fancy sponsor stickers and whatnot doesn’t mean you can’t go get some in another racing game out there.  The work UndeadDog has put into his Forza 3 racing league has, methinks, overshadowed plain ol’ vanilla Burnout from last week.

Here are the stats after last week’s competition!

Leaderboard: (as of October 13th):
Jus Blaze Man02: 2 W/0 L, 135 XP
TinyButDeadly: 2 W/0 L, 125 XP

PurpleDemon: 2 W/1 L, 120 XP

Yamster:1 W/0 L, 115 XP
BlinkinCard: 1 W/1 L, 100 XP

Shanghai Six: 1 W/1 L, 100 XP
NuclearNinja: 0 W/1 L, 90 XP
TomCoopz: 0 W/1 L, 85 XP
Otacon91: 0 W/1 L, 85 XP
Pikminguts92: 0 W/1 L, 85 XP
IceKatanaX: 0 W/1 L 80 XP
SmellyPirate: 0 W/1 L, 75 XP

If you’ve haven’t checked it out, take at look at the Gamernights forum and check out the Forza 3 race series that UndeadDog is putting on (here’s the link).  Pretty wizza stuff; too bad I’m not a racing guy.

Back into the mix bag we go, and out we pull a fighting game!  Street Fighter IV, the perfect freestanding arcade, I’ve-got-next, put-your-quarter-on-the-screen challenge game, seems to me. 

RULES:
1)  Each week, look for the thread in the Official Sarcastic Gamer Gamenights forum for the stickied Duelist League thread (here’s the sign up link!).  If a game is not listed for the systems you own (Wii, PC), you may choose one game for one of these systems and challenge someone else with it, but you’ll only be able to get one match that week.

2) Post in the thread that you own the game and that you are looking for a fight.

3) Pick a fight with another SG member who has registered on the thread.  You can only challenge that member once a week.  The details (time, place, system, game type) of the match are up to the two combatants.

4) All combatants start at 100 experience points.  Both players agree to a wager on how many points they are playing for.  Max wager is 25 points, and you cannot go below 5 points (so someone can work their way back up if they are knocked out).  Not only will win/loss be registered, but the experience point tally will be kept as well.

5) The results of the match are posted on the thread.

6) WE HAVE PRIZES. Top duelists will be rewarded with forum titles, avatars, bragging rights, serving wenches, and yes, now top finishers will receive prizes.  It won’t be for points cards like Summer Games was, but you’ll still walk away with something if you finish respectably well on the leaderboards.

Round 5, FIGHT!

The Sarcastic Gamer Duelist League, Week 4 (Oct 7-13): Burnout!

October 7th, 2009 · 2 Comments

You know who you are.

You know who you are.

As a public service announcement, I feel it’s important to point out that the cheater OsamaGamer had to change his name to TinyButDeadly, most likely because people know him as a cheating cheater and he had to change his stupid cheating name.  Did you know he had a modded PS3 controller which makes him more awesome than me at Killzone 2? His soundly thrashing me in our match makes me suspect foul play…of the cheating variety.

He may have bested me here, but we’ll see who’s laughing when I defeat him at Nobi Nobi Boy. (more…)
