For months now, people have been emailing me about difficulty accessing Sarcastic Gamer with their PSP’s, Phones, and PDA’s. Today I am happy to announce we’ve begun work on a mobile version of the site that loads fast and makes catching up on the latest Sarcastic Gamer news a breeze from anywhere.

Write it down.

Editors Note: Another nifty blog entry from the Sarcastic Gamer User Blogs.

by Destyn

The Wii has been dubbed the retarded redheaded stepchild of the gaming world around here lately. I don’t get it, it’s by far been the most successful of the current generation consoles and beloved by 99% of its owners, so…

Like the inimitable Lono, I’m a recent Wii owner; and as such something of a convert - for the simple reason that I gave up trying to figure out why I hated it from the other side of a store window and actually played it.

Oh yeah, I suckered you in, didn’t I. The new game? Yeah, it’s a bean bag tossing game called Target Toss Pro: Bags. Those Incredible Technologies? Yeah, that’d be the developer’s name. The cumulative image of the Wii just sank another notch lower in my book. We now have video game equivalents of simple kids games.

You toss a bean bag into a hole. Wait, that was over-simplified, let me quote the words of the developer: “You stand at one end of a court with four beanbags, and at the other end there is a slanted, wedge shaped box with a hole in it. Your goal is to toss the beanbag into the hole.”

Over the weekend, I was all set to write a post about how you can divide the world into three types of people: Docs, Daves and Lonos. (Confession: I was trying to make it to the front page.) I had the outline in my mind.

Naturally, being an ardent anti-gamer, she refused to listen. I sweetened the deal by offering to help do some of the preparations for a big party that we threw on Saturday, and reluctantly, she agreed.

I love Rock Band. I don’t play it enough. One of the best, but puzzling things about the game is the constant DLC that EA brings out to support the game. Some may disagree, but having new songs to download every week keeps the game fresh, for me personally, and extends the life of the game in general. That’s the good, but what keeps me puzzled is the selection of DLC. Why is it that Faith No More’s only DLC is “We Care A Lot?” When are we going to get the Who’s “Baba O’Riley?” When are we going to get a Pearl Jam download pack?

I want it all.

Enough with the fringe stuff from our favorite rock bands. Bring on the hits. That said, here’s ten songs that I want in Rock Band and I want it NOW!
