Picture the scene: Liberty City, 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Brucie and I roll up outside the bar in downtown Algonquin in our Landstalker and proceed to get smashed off our faces.

4 o'clock, and we emerge utterly sh*tfaced from the bar, ready to drive home. Naturally, our drunken driving antics attract the attention of John Q. Law, who's soon on our tail with sirens blazing and gunshots ringing out from the passenger window. A few drunken smashes and a few unlucky gunshots later,...

I'm gonna be frank. Gaming is almost a religion to me. Maybe you can see it in the way I write, or the fact that I can even write things like this. It's something I hope to take forward into the future, either into development, into writing (considering Sarcastic Gamer is a start to that) or even both. So it's not really that strange of me to utterly stampede my way through Metal Gear Solid 4 in a matter of hours via two sleepless nights.

In my first attempt to try and show how I tick, here's a lame-quality shot of my room (because I forgot to turn the quality of my camera shots up so it only operated at 640x480 at the time) with some pointers, er..pointing at what I use for inspiration in writing...

What gets you thinking "I'd really like to write"? What defines your writing style? What though, most of all, inspires you to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and produce articles based on those things you're passionate about?

Since climbing on board the S.S Sarcastic Gamer I've pondered this a fair bit, as I've churned out (well, to put it cynically, as if I'm some kind of blogging factory) 32 blog entries, not including this one. I've strived to make them a decent...
