| | In Other News – 03 February Weekend Edition | Darryn Bonthuys - February 3rd, 2012 | This has not been the best day for me, work-wise. Trying to get any work done was a Herculean task, due to not one, but both of my internet connections acting like a tortoise on roofies. And trying to rangle some help from technical support wasn’t any easier either, with most calls being answered by an irate Irishman who told me to “try turning it off and on again” before even listening to what my problem was. Still, things eventually came ... [»] |

| In Other News – 02 February 2012 Homegrown Hotties Edition | Darryn Bonthuys - February 2nd, 2012 | Well I had a lovely surprise last night. After a vigorous session playing Soul Calibur V, I decided to give the game, and my body, a break and get some well-deserved shut eye. Hopping onto my bed, I quickly discovered that it was surprisingly warm and wet underneath my back, while the cat sat above me on the window ledge with a guilty look on its face, before cheesing off from the ...

| In Other News – 01 February 2012 | Darryn Bonthuys - February 1st, 2012 | Well, it’s the Hallmark month of love from today, and like the last couple of recent years, and I’m going to scrooge my way through it, bah-humbugging every sign of lovey-dovey merchandising I see. But beyond that, it’s the month where gaming gets real. The January break is over, and we’re about to be hit with a flood of quality titles. I’m already wading into those ... [»] |

| In Other News – 31 January 2012 | Darryn Bonthuys - January 31st, 2012 | Can you believe it, we’ve reached the end of the first month of the year already. How time flies when a Mayan Doomsday edges ever closer. But if there’s any real apocalypse heading this way, it’s the one that's going to obliterate my bank balance for the games of February. Syndicate, Neverdead, Asura’s Wrath, Kingdoms of Amalur, these are just a few of the games that are arriving in February. One ... [»] |

| In Other News – 30 January 2012 | Darryn Bonthuys - January 30th, 2012 | I hope everyone had a decent weekend, away from the hustle and bustle from working life. Whether you went hiking, had a day at the beach or just parked off and relaxed, we hope you enjoyed the two days you did it with. As for me, I was attempting to hit new heights in laziness with my weekend, but alas, my jedi force powers still haven’t kicked in yet, so I had to resort to actual physical ... [»] |

| In Other News – 27 January 2012 Weekend Edition | Darryn Bonthuys - January 27th, 2012 | Oh what a joy it is to finally have a proper ADSL connection, complete with wireless functionality. I had a blast with the new connection last night, loading up YouTube videos on my iPad with nary a care, while being soundly defeated in a few rounds of Pokémon against what I can only presume is one badass little kid. I’m looking forward ... [»] |

| In Other News – 26 January 2012 Homegrown Hotties Edition | Darryn Bonthuys - January 26th, 2012 | Well yesterday was fun. After having suffered from some excruciating pain in my mouth, I made an appointment to go see the dentist last week, and while there, he told me that my two wisdom teeth had to come out. So, a week later, after some anti-biotics and medication, I was back in the chair, and had more drugs floating through my deadened mouth than Keith Richards when he was stopped ... [»] |

| In Other News – 25 January 2012 | Geoffrey Tim - January 25th, 2012 | Interesting day. I nearly found my yellow ass in prison in prison after being stopped at a road-block this morning. No, I didn’t have a dead Swedish hooker in the boot (That’s a trunk, for those of you Stars and stripes or maple leaves on your flags). Not this time, anyway. No. But I did, the officer informed me, have a collection of traffic violations the value of which exceed the gross capita of a small country. That, and my licence ... [»] |

| In Other News – 24 January 2012 | Darryn Bonthuys - January 24th, 2012 | I am not looking forward to tomorrow. You see, due to me having a rotten tooth at the back of my mouth, I’ve got to head into the dentist to have two of my favourite mashers pulled out. To make things even worse, the third tooth has to have a root canal surgery done it, so you’ll forgive me if I’m understandably antsy tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to suck, that’s ... [»] |

| In Other News – 23 January 2012 | Darryn Bonthuys - January 23rd, 2012 | Well, we’re back for another week of gaming and news, and you can bet that a feature or two is tucked away as well, waiting for publication. We hope you guys had a great weekend, and are ready for the week ahead. In Other News: Why Will.I.Am loves the Super Mario games, new accessories inbound for the PS Vita and how Resident Evil Revelations almost made clouds scary. ... [»] |

| In Other News – 20 January 2012 Weekend Edition | Darryn Bonthuys - January 20th, 2012 | Man, what a crazy week it has been. We’ve covered all the usual craziness in the gaming world, and cannot wait for the weekend. I’ve finally cleared my current backlog of games, with Infamous 2 being the final title that I played, so I’ll be looking for something else to blister my thumbs with this weekend, at least until February declares war on my bank account. In Other ... [»] |

| In Other News – 19 January Homegrown Hotties Edition | Darryn Bonthuys - January 19th, 2012 |
Shoo, another scorcher of a day, and I am loving it so far. Sure, some of you may be experiencing some temporary melting, and small animals might be exploding, but its still fantastic weather, and a helluva lot better than winter.
In the mean, cast your sweaty glances onto our sponsored LW Mag homegrown hottie of the day, Riana Roberts. This Parys-born lady loves to have a good time and has international ambitions. Read more about her ... [»] |

| In Other News – 18 January 2012 | Darryn Bonthuys - January 18th, 2012 | Congratulations, to those of you clever enough to realise that mousing over this text means that you can read it. But think of it as a taste of the ingenuity that will be needed should SOPA and PIPA ever be passed, because… Oh who am I kidding, you’re just ogling that face above my text.

| In Other News – 17 January 2012 | Darryn Bonthuys - January 17th, 2012 | Earlier today, I posted up a story detailing a look behind the scenes of Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter. It got me thinking, what other historical figures would make for great supernatural fighting films? So I came up with a list. Mahatma Ghandi: Griffin Grappler Nelson Mandela: Mummy Mauler Winston Churchill: Werewolf Waster Leonardo Da Vinci: Banshee Brawler Teddy Roosevelt: I’ll shoot any damn thing that ... [»] |

| In Other News – 16 January, 2012 | Darryn Bonthuys - January 16th, 2012 | It’s weird what a human body can tolerate. I sat dead-still for a four hour tattoo session, didn’t even blink an eyelid. I’ve crashed a motorcycle and got up, dusted myself off, and kept riding, and my face is pretty much accustomed to the blows it receives whenever I do some boxing sparring.
Hell, I even had laser eye surgery years ago back when they could only give you a tiny amount of general anaesthetic, meaning that ... [»] |
