SG Comic Episode IX

June 5th, 2008 · 5 Comments

This week Sarcasm crosses international borders to answer an urgent call from, Playstation Podcast team member and PC-ite, PacManPolarBear.

What’s gone so wrong in Canada that PMPB needs help?

If its urgent, why call Doc, Dave and Lono and wait for them to come all the way from the USA?

Who’s paying for this trip and, more importantly who’s paying for Lono’s bar tab en route?

Will the crew make it back in time for this weeks Podcast?

Will Lono make it through customs?

None of these questions answered and less in this weeks SG Comic Episode IX!

Special thanks to Sony’s Jeff Rubenstein, Joystiq’s Justin McElroy, Kotaku’s Luke Plunkett and Leigh Alexander, Destructoid’s Dyson, Brian from Geekpulp, Drew from HCG, and everyone who contributed their ideas to this list.

As most new games are commanding an impressive $60 investment, I set out armed with a Ten Dollar bill and a question for anyone who’d listen.

“What kind of fun can I have with 10 dollars?”

After-the-Fact-Reviews: Front Mission for the Nintendo DS

April 10th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Front Mission for the DS is a tactics-style RPG in the form of giant-robots-blowing-the-crap-out-of-stuff. This title is also one of “those” damned games from an acclaimed Japanese clusterf… I mean series, and as usual with those types of damned games, actually describing the title requires giving a little bit of background on the clust… series first. I’ll lay out the general rundown for those who have never played a Front Mission game before addressing those who have, and I warn you that it’s a little complicated. You may need to take notes.

$911 Million! Yep, PC Gaming Is Dying

January 24th, 2008 · 16 Comments

Source: GameSpot

We are sitting in the age of consoles at the moment; I don’t think anyone can deny that. Ever since the PS1 came out, every console fan boy and his mom has been telling me the same thing; “PC gaming is dying.” Of course any PC gamer worth his high priced rig knows that is simply not true. Despite piracy and console domination of the gaming market, PC gaming remains more than profitable and cutting edge.

Backing me up are the NPD Group numbers that were released today for PC US retail revenues, which should make a few people bite their tongues.

Check out the sales numbers and what an NPD analyst said about PC gaming after the jump! (more…)

Geoff Keighley Pwns Fox News With +1 Truth Power

January 22nd, 2008 · 21 Comments

Yet another round of “What Game Are We Going To Sensationalize Today.”

This time, it’s Mass Effect. The cable news outlet: Fox News. These dumbasses actually set up a whole segment to talk about the “raunchy” sex, with “full-frontal” nudity that objectifies women in the game. Forget the fact that it’s a M rated game, kids could see it!!! OMG!!! Save the children! Forget the fact that there’s no nudity, half a boob and half an ass crack. When did Fox News become Puritan News?

Thank god Geoff Keighley was there to calm the histrionic monkeys down. Yes, I said, “Thank god for Geoff Keighley.” See out how he set the record straight and made these Fox Anchors look like fools in the video segment, after the jump.

Burning Questions from a Gamer

January 21st, 2008 · 16 Comments

4whats-top.jpg

I’m sick of being lied to, ignored, misled, and cheated. What better way to get back at “The Man” than by posting a feature article on a tiny little gaming blog in a remote corner of the internet? So here they are. If you can answer these four semi-rhetorical questions (all cleverly formulated to start with the word “what”) I’ll be forever in your debt, and you have my vote if you ever decide to run for president.
