I had plans of hibernating in bed, playing 3DS solidly for the entire weekend, then I remembered I’ve got to get my ass onto a bike and get training. This sadly means I need to venture into the outside world. The sun is such a cruel mistress! Anyways, here’s the news you might have missed this week.
Best Story
It’s always nice to see that our local talent is going places, and this time, the place our one team going is France. Energy eSports are headed to the Electronic Sports World Cup! It’s going to be a great opportunity for them, and we wish them all the best.
In other news, somebody turned these kitties into adorable assassins. Pipe down, I don’t care what your argument is… cats win the Internet by default!
Lastly, it’s not every day we read about hackers being caught, but these few were. I might forgive the theft from the U.S Army or even Microsoft. Theft from Valve on the other hand is inexcusable. How dare you target lord gaben!
Worst Story
The saddest story this week is undoubtedly our server being the source of many, MANY headaches for everybody at the office – especially Geoff. The poor guy was forced to drink excessively (more than normal) thanks to all the error establishing database connection messages he got. I myself had a mini heart attack each time I wanted to read comments on our apology article and my tab had that heading.
Random Story
I was against Smart Watches, at least until some chap decided to run Minecraft and Doom on his. You have my interest, show me more! Bananas, I will no longer be able to take them seriously. WTF IS THIS? Let’s not forgot about those strawberries either…
Also, who knew that Microsoft couldn’t count? Let’s just skip Windows 9 they said! Coincidentally, 9 is 3 cubed, and we all know who hates the number 3. GABE NEWELL OWNS MICROSOFT? You read it here first!
Best ION Header
Geoff really knows his way to my heart (through the stomach, duh). Every Tuesday he features the best looking and tasting food, and before I know it, I find my keyboard covered in my own drool. I need me a schwarma right this second!
Most Comments
PS Plus is going up? WHAT MADNESS IS THIS? People were outraged, sad, and even questioned the mathematical ability of Darryn (as well as the definition of slightly) in 101 comments. He’s right guys, go get your calculators or a nearby varsity professor to double check. Let’s be honest though, even at that new price, the service is still well worth every cent. It’s just that Sony saved it for the absolute last second to tell anybody the change was happening which has everybody grabbing their riot gear.
Least Comments
You know what isn’t over 9000? The comment on Darryn’s article for the new Dragon Ball Xenoverse gameplay footage. At least it wasn’t a pity comment… those all end up on my articles which thankfully save me from this award!
Batman Of The Week
This week really was close for Batman. Darryn, Geoff, and Zoe were neck and neck. In the end, we all knew who it would be. Geoff uses his magical Asian abilities once more to secure the top spot!
Cabbage Of The Week
This doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, I crack open the champagne and celebrate. Guess who your cabbage is this week? I’ll give you a hint: his name starts with a ‘S’ and ends in an ‘ANDY’
Header Image Of The Week
I quite enjoyed this header by Geoff. So simple, so elegant, so Daisy!
Comment Of The Week
We are genuinely sorry that our server being full of crap was the source of much pain for you. We just never realised it was THIS bad (we are so sorry oVg):
It was easier playing Destiny off-line than logging onto Lazygamer yesterday.
Bonus Premium Content
Glub Glub! Glub Glub! Charlie I have the amulet! The choo-choo-shoe! PUT A BANANA IN YOUR EAR! Charlie the Unicorn is old news… this video still makes me giggle each time though – so enjoy if you have never seen it before <3

Saw this one yesterday:
“My boss told me yesterday dress for the job you one day want and not the job you have. Yeah brilliant advice. Today I’m sitting in a fucking disciplinary hearing dressed as Batman”

That being said, if you kill a rainbow treasure goblin on Diablo 3 you can go into an area where you kill unicorns and teddy bears… always makes me feel like I’m killing a charlie the unicorn fan every time one of those buggers goes down.

hahahaha…I actually thought PC was like “Blu-ray is so last gen”…we onto the hyper super duper Blu Ray now.
Seems I was wrong…
Lord Chaos
October 3, 2014 at 13:20
Nah, there’s no disk based media, we install from flash drive. 😛
Corrie Botha
October 3, 2014 at 13:24
I’m still on a DVD drive myself but would gladly upgrade sooner or later if it sheds time, this has been the first game I’ve ever had soo many discs to install
But in a few years I can see either the switch to Blu Ray or the total annihilation of discs(which I love)but with it would mean One disc to rule them all…. until the cycle starts again.
Still on disc 3 -_-

Wow, you must be fairly new to PC gaming then.
I remember installing at least 2 games with 6 discs and several more with 4 discs.

Been on PC since around 6-7 years now, but yeah all with PC-DVD’s, I did have a few old cd’s that had a few discs install but yeah I overlooked it since it was CD’s.
I kinda have an OCD/phobia with tooo many discs, I’m afraid that with too many, one will end up not working when needed etc even though I always keep them firmly in their case’s but have been burned before i.e Max Payne 3 disc 3 had mysteriously given in.
