What, where is Matty, I hear you ask? He is busy winging his way to the mother city to top up on his hipster cred. Don’t worry, we’re still here, chained to our desks the way Gavin likes us. But not for long – oh how the weekend beckons!
Best Story
It sucks when companies release a broken game, but at least Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 should be fixed soon. I’m also glad that while communication of any kind can be used maliciously, at least Sony responded to those ridiculous claims about the PSN being used for terrorism.
Worst Story
So much news that made me sad this week. Micro transaction justifications, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided delayed, and Rainbow Six Siege’s DLC characters requiring a ridiculous grind to unlock? GITFS. Oh, and don’t even get me started on the whole debacle about Kotaku.
Random Story
Gamers choosing Fallout 4 over porn? What is this world coming to? Next thing you know the Madden curse will rear its ugly head again. Oh wait…
Header of the Week
Some things are horrifyingly brilliant, or brilliantly horrifying. I’m not even sure that I can say anything about this image, except that Darryn wins.
Most Comments
Were EA acquisitions spotty, or just our memory of which games were good or bad? Apparently it took 180 comments to decide, although it might just be a matter of age.
Least Comments
What is it, cat caught your tongues about Miyazaki not being involved in Dark Souls 3 from the very start? Or were you just afraid that leaving a comment might yield a hidden trap?
Batman of the week
I’d like to say there were moments of doubt, hints that I might pull out of second third place and overtake him, but that would be a lie. Darryn was your clear Batman, without contest.
Comment of the week
Nothing like a fun hipster comment for a week when our Matty leaves for hipster-ville. Mistake Not.. made us laugh with this one:
“but the caveat here is that if you do venture there, you’re bound to run in to an army of hipsters”
I can hear it now:
“Ja, man, I only eat Flammekueche.”
“What is Flam…Flammi…ki…?”
“Seriously, bro? If you don’t know what Flammekueche is I don’t even.”
Weird bonus content
Here is Darryn’s contribution:
And this video is still making me laugh:

And I’m younger than you, so how old am I again?

Grand Admiral Chief SpaceNinja
November 20, 2015 at 13:11
Sure.
Each of the writers’ articles are put in a fancy algorithm that calculates the amount of traffic it generates for the site. It then completely throws away those results and they just give it to Darryn because HE IS BATMAN!
(jokes aside, it is based on who generated most traffic for that week)

Bad story using IE 11 on LG (yes I know I know!) – when I click next at the bottom of the LG home page to see older articles, it skips all the way to 12 November…then clicking next takes me to 18th…then previous goes to 12 again and then previous (in this flow supposed to be 1st page again) takes me to 19th and not the 20th. Not a train smash, but perhaps something to look at? It does work in Chrome though 😛
Grand Admiral Chief SpaceNinja
November 20, 2015 at 13:21
Use Chrome and stop using the browser of the heathens
Ottokie
November 20, 2015 at 13:23
IE exists for the sole purpose of installing Chrome after a format.
Grand Admiral Chief SpaceNinja
November 20, 2015 at 13:30
Did you know, YOU DO NOT EVEN NEED IE FOR THAT?
Captain JJ the Goo
November 20, 2015 at 13:31

I used FireFox at home, then it got horrible. Using Chrome at home. At work, well, some clients have their corporate policies set to use a specific browser, so I have no choice but to follow suit…
