Friday! Weekend! So ends another week at the Lazygamer office. It’s tough being an intern. Swimming with sharks, dodging laser beams, diving through flaming hoops, all while keeping coffee cups filled to the brim? Dang, I’m totally submitting an entry to that TV series – I shouldn’t be alive!
Best Story
There were some really good stories this week, but hey, I love me some local eSPURTS! Not only will we be seeing an awesome Battlefield 4 tournament, but local Dota 2 players also have the opportunity to fight for a spot at the MSI Beat IT 2014 in Taipei, Taiwan.
Worst Story
It’s always sad to hear of game development companies going through turmoil, and it looks like Crytek are the latest victims as the employees are not only struggling, but the Homefront Director also resigned this week. Also, how the hell do you accidentally upload something to the Internet?
ION Header of the Week
Choosing an ION can always be a tricky affair, but reading the comments on the daily round up with Alexa Varga as the header was quite entertaining, leading her to be the victor this week.
Most Comments
Gamers take their tech seriously? WHO KNEW! Darryn spurred lots of discussion with his review of the Samsung Galaxy S5. It has everything but a coffee maker? I need more from my phone dammit!
Least Comments
Oh man, it’s getting just a little too comfortable in the basement down here with the articles that receive the least comments. Hey? Can anybody hear me? I thought you were all joking when you said this was punishment for articles that nobody could be bothered to comment on! Fine, I’ll take my local coverage elsewhere!
Batman of the Week
After eons and infinite stretches of time, somebody finally beat up kicked Geoff off the Batman throne. I give to you, your new ruling Batman, ZOE HAWKINS! *wild rounds of applause from all corners of the globe*
Cabbage of the Week
Oh yes, my favourite award! Its got my face written all over it! I graciously accept this award on behalf of myself, and all other Portuguese people… except Sandy, that Porra a-hole keeps beating me in Batman!
Header of the Week
At least I get something right? This header was just pure genius, and hey it was slapped onto one of my articles! It wasn’t me though, it was all Geoff and his Asian shenanigans who put this beaut together.
Comment of the Week
You know, you lot are a funny bunch. It’s damn hard trying to find a worthy comment, but look and you shall find! Emperor Trev was in good form this week, with a comment that is worthy of many smacks on the head with a frying pan. RUN MAN! SAVE YOURSELF!
The Cleaners? Well there you go feminists – women in games at last!

I bought the DVD set. So damn good.

Van*
The translation I watched definitely had it as Van.
Easiest way to tell if someone prefers fan-based or official subs is to look at how they spell the character names.

They pronounce it “Von”, but Van does seem to be correct.
Edit: also, what preference?

Batman even saves little girls and Darryn from the horror that is that pony thing little girls and Darryn like to watch.

It just had to be Trevor. I think all the zeros Geoff lost was added to his IQ.

Well done Trev! Shame man, what is it now to OvG? Granted, he wasn’t on much this week…
Anon A Mouse
July 18, 2014 at 12:48
Since OvG isn’t flaming out that much anymore he does struggle to hold on to his title.
Rince&pop
July 18, 2014 at 12:48
Yeah, I think it’s cus people can see his screen, so not much OvG, end of an era man, end of an era…

🙁 Is he a victim of the scourge of the “open-plan office”?
Rince&pop

Not really, more the ‘move him next to the manager so he does some fucking work’ scourge…

Hate it when that happens. Makes you feel like you’re back in school.

That sucks. Hopefully, he’ll collect all the bile from the day and channel it into some pretty vicious weekend posts on lagz.

Remember his epic TL:DR drunken rages man?! LG should have made a special page just for them. I miss that. Now we just have Trevor with comment of the week each week tehehe (and well deserved that are)
Alien Emperor Trevor

I’m not sure, 9 I think. It’s not as much fun without him.

Agreed. Not the same when there is no retaliatory gif. Let me step in here for him, have always had to 😛 http://38.media.tumblr.com/71053f91f48155b175c78e10d94da866/tumblr_mnp7wiyLsw1s6ns7wo1_250.gif

I still hold that it’s because of the ‘things’ Trev is willing to do to Darryn that allows him to win each week… The Shame.

At least then the conversation does not get dumbed down to console level.
Admiral Chief Saxon
July 18, 2014 at 12:59
LOOOOOOOOOL
Rince&pop

Exactly. What you can do however, is reminisce about Halflife 2 and the good ol days when games came to the PC at the same time as consoles 😛
Weanerdog
July 18, 2014 at 12:51
Congrats Trev and Zoe, Now didn’t Zoe promise us an ION if she ever won Batman or was that Trevor, I hope it wasn’t Trevor. I’ll be off bleaching my brain if anyone needs me.

She did and she delivered a really classy ION.
