“Wiimotes were made to be lightsabres! But it looks like we'll have to hope for the next Star Wars game to have a WiiSabreTM since it's not coming with this one.”

australian gamer profile: Yug



Nickname: Yug
Real Name: Guy Blomberg
Xbox Live: YugAG
PSN Code:
Wii Friend:
Occupation: Graphic Designer
City/State: Brisbane, Queensland


Yug is the beauty and the heart. Flashy, young, hip and happening. Only gaming when he's not clubbing or sleeping it off. Drives a silver convertible and clearly watches more Queer Eye than a regular person should. Often distracted by shiny objects, flashing lights, or anything prettier than he is. Yug also draws the cartoons and writes contributing articles. With small words. Spelled badly.


What is your most memorable gaming experience?
Being left in the Brisbane City Myer Centre toy section while my parents went shopping. The NES had just come out, and there were 2 TV's with Super Mario Bros playing on them. I remember almost every second weekend going there, and always the same older kid was there, and he would show me all the tricks, tips, secrets, and skills on how to play. By the time I got my own NES, I was an expert gamer.

Where would you be found on a typical Friday night?
Either passed out in a gutter on the way home from a nightclub, passed out in the nightclub itself, or passed out on my keyboard at home.

What is your favourite movie?
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

What is your favourite food?
Chilli Con Carne - my own secret recipe

What is your favourite drink?
Makers Mark Bourban

What are your favourite 5 games of all time, and why?
  • Starcraft : RTS Perfection with a brilliant storyline
  • Final Fantasy VII : Beathtaking, Epic, and truly an unforgettable experience
  • Zelda Ocarina of Time : Link goes 3D and the results are perfect
  • Super Mario Bros 3 : The best Mario platformer ever
  • Half Life 2 : You just can't beat it for story and atmosphere
