Sadie Interview

Interview from Oracle - Sunday, 26 August 2007 @ 8:59pm

For those of you scratching your heads, Sadie is a gamer based in Los Angeles in a country called the United States of.. something. Anyway, during her spare time she puts together her own little show called Sadie’s Gaming Infection and uploads it to YouTube. Sadie’s main objective is to give the viewers her first impressions of the game whether it’s great, bad or just unplayable.

What makes Sadie stand out from the crowd is her screams of annoyance and sarcastic pay outs as she plays through an array of user friendly and user not so friendly games. When there are aspects of games she likes she’ll tell you what they are in her own quirky way, making for a very amusing out look on the gaming scene . For those of you who haven’t experienced Dr Sadie’s remedies for gaming addiction she is not to unlike the video game nerd, but don’t tell her I said that…she’d beat me.

Over the last year Sadie has completed 9 episodes including seven from her previous series, Sadie’s Late Night Gaming. Episode 1 of "Sadie’s Gaming Infection" got a staggering 250,000+ hits during the first week, that’s more than the total population of that crappy city in the Northern Territory… Darwin, right?

I’d like to personally thank Sadie for her time and I hope you all enjoy the interview below as well as her videos which you can check out here. Feel free to leave her a comment on our forums or on her YouTube profile, who knows.. you might get a personal reply back. Enjoy!



Sadie: I guess it's all because of my dad and oldest brother whom both play games. I remember playing street fighter with my brother and stuff, I just remember thinking "MAN this is so fun!"


Sadie: I grew up playing video games, I can't imagine my life with out them!


Sadie: I'd say I was always addicted, I always had a Game Boy or NES or something in my room to play.


Sadie: Well, when my dad went overseas he came back with a game boy for my older brother, I was sooo jealous! So I begged him to bring me one and on his next trip he did! My older bro put some stickers from Nintendo Power on it that said "Game Girl" Nerrrrd, I know!


Sadie: Sadie has always been late night gaming... just not with a camera. There isn’t a whole lot of idea to it…just puuuuure Sadie.


Sadie: Hesitant, definitely.


Sadie: I mean... who really cares about what I have to say, I'm just talking as I play


Sadie: YES, no YouTube = no Sadie’s Game Infection


Sadie: Nope! Just being honest.


Sadie: GEEZ! I mean, they should be thinking the same things I am when I’m giving my first impressions.. and that's what’s important. Besides shouldn’t they be keeping my feelings in mind when they are developing them?


Sadie: Probably not... the whole doctor thing has a lot to work with and it's a different approach to reviews, so I'm gonna keep the infection alive.


Sadie: AWESOME!!!!! Dude, it was totally awesome, yo.


Sadie: At first I just picked the games that I owned but hadn’t played yet. Then I asked for the viewers to send in suggestions! So Red Faction was some viewers fault, haha!


Sadie: Yeah, if you send me $80 and some guitar skills.


Sadie: Maybe, as I see fit

Sadie: E, I have gotten messages from all of the above!


Sadie: Somewhere in between, I am very passionate about gaming but I'm a lazy cat. My proof I guess would be my many memory cards. They are my children.


Sadie: It's tough! Male gamers don't respect female gamers and non-gamer girls find girl gamers lame... so we can’t win…but we can pwn


Sadie: I think gamers in general are on the rise, so I hope women get caught up in tide.


Sadie: FUCK YEAH, I want to rip him in half, I’d pwn him in any game, Babality!


Sadie: Ridiculous. Video games are an art form and art should not be censored. Besides there are far worse movies, I’m sure, that anyone can access. The problem is who has access to them. Fix the problem don’t avoid it!



Sadie: Yes! It’s nice to have a have a choice, but I don't dislike games that don't have that choice.


Sadie: No, I like the big burly men.


Sadie: Solid Snake!


Sadie: Final Fantasy 6, that’s right 6! There are so many characters and Kefka was awesome. I also liked that you were able to raise levels one person at a time, I thought that was fantastic. Also every character had depth. Such a very good game


Sadie: I’d hate to be a typical girl... but RPG. The story is the best part! It’s easier to and be absorbed into a game when the story is good, not like, "there's aliens, go kill em"


Sadie: Nope! The nerdiest thing I did was camp out for Star Wars Episode 3, it was a once in a lifetime chance ya know?


Sadie: Yes, seems like a lot of fun!


Sadie: Metal Gear Solid 4!


Sadie: The 360 because the Wii doesn't have enough decent games and Sony fucked themselves over.

Sadie: None of the above!


Sadie: C


Sadie: Kinda sorta, it's good as long as they are thinking about all kinds of gamers but they are alienating the hardcore gamers at the same time by not making games for them


Sadie: I think they are doing it to attract every kind of person.... that has a lot of cash to blow


Sadie: Probably because it's mostly sports and FPS games that are not appealing to everyone.


Sadie: More power to you! There’s nothing wrong with being a girl, and loving games.


Sadie: I dunno, some loser named "oracle29"
