It is a blog so expect to see some statements with a fine coat of bias and a tinkle of sarcastic humour. If you want to hear pointless thoughts of an irrelevant person, This blog is for you.Sharpiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16510848775367472256noreply@blogger.comBlogger111100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157986742837759282.post-58451255065414554562009-05-13T15:52:00.001+10:002009-05-13T15:54:51.526+10:00

Since the epic launch of the Nintendo Wii all the way back in December 2006, Motion control has become a very disputed issue in the gaming industry. The Wii has become the platform to beat this generation and it has left its competitors in the dust with a whopping 50 million consoles sold as of this post. Motion control and the Wii's unique controller have certainly played a massive hand in

I finally got off my ass to produce STGamers first video. This video does not serve any particular importance and it was merely made as a test to see if I could upload videos to Youtube as smoothly as I wanted to and to the quality (HD) that I wanted.The STGamer introduction was also tested here and it seems to work quite efficiently. One problem though was that the STGamer intro on the first two

In recent years video game developers and publishers have been able to provide us extensions to the games we all know and love thanks to the wonders of modern technology and the internet. This is known as Downloadable Content. (DLC)Downloadable Content involves purchasing extensions and add-ons for games that you already own. The DLC will usually come at a price but in some instances it can be

The following is the first ever Sharpie The Gamer review of a video game. I have some spare time on my hands and I plan to write plenty more of these in the future. Sure this game has been out for quite some time now but that does not mean it shouldn't warrant a review. In fact most of my reviews will be based on titles that have been circling around for a while so I have a firm understanding of

Hi to the one (if that) person that reads this blog. I would like to take this time to apologise on the post drought that lasted the past couple of weeks. I was on holidays and to be honest with you I didn't really give a shit about posting during that time. Hey at least i'm honest.It's not that I don't love posting on this site it is just that I think my enjoyment of the holidays take a higher

In an event that has rocked the Video Game Media industry and many gamers in general, it has been confirmed that online media mogul UGO Entertainment have acquired the respected gaming site 1up.com. This event has not come out of the blue as many gaming sites have reported rumours of this move occuring for several weeks.Normally something like this would not affect a website at all except for a

I just thought I would quickly voice my disappointment on Sonic's latest gaming outing on all major consoles.You all have no doubt heard of Sonic The Hedgehog and his latest game sonic unleashed. The game had a great amount of potential and for once the outlook of Sonic's future looked bright. It seemed Sega finally decided to get off their butts and create a game that the gaming community

"Lucky" Nintendo Wii owners in Japan are now able to purchase personalised Mii Business cards via Japan's local Club Nintendo service. It requires the Japan exclusive Digicam Print Channel and 150 valuable Club Nintendo Points. You will then recieve 30 legitimate (yes they are physically real) cards through the mail.Now this begs a very logical question: "WHO THE HELL WOULD WANT A FRIGGEN MII

Before I talk about the video I would just like to apologise to the one or maybe two people that have actually looked at this blog. Lately I have been very busy with my god damn studies at school and I haven't exactly been able to make many posts at all except for the Video of the Week segments. From next week onwards I will have much more free time and I will be able to return to writing my

Now I have come across many funny videos in my time but this particular video may be the funniest I have encountered for quite a while. I don't know what it is but this video has an amazing and hilarious vibe coming from it and to be honest it really shouldn't be funny at all. BUT THIS VIDEO IS HILARIOUS!!! (In My Opinion anyway)This weeks video is entitled Nigga stole my bike. It is an

If I had to pick the worst thing about the gaming community, Fanboys would be at the top of the list.Before I start my rant I should tell you what exactly a fanboy is. A fanboy is a person that loves their gaming console or video game so much that they must let their bias opinions be heard. This mainly occurs in the form of comments on major gaming websites and gaming publications.Now from the
