The good, the bad and the ugly of the past week – 05 August 2016

I love me some public holidays. We’ve had one this week already, and another is due soon, on the 9th of August. To all of you taking extra long weekends, be safe, and enjoy the time off!

Best Stories

There was some excellent news this week, the best of which was that Outlast 2 has been delayed. Looks like I won’t need extra underwear until next year!

• Bravado Gaming CS:GO are heading to Paris for ESWC
• Outlast 2 has been delayed until early 2017
• Overwatch has gone full Rocket League with its latest Summer Games brawl
• Niantic removes legendary Pokémon from Pokémon GO cheaters

Worst Stories

Oh no, the fan-made Star Wars game got klapped with a cease and desist? I did not see that one coming at all! Overall, news wasn’t too awful this week thankfully…

• Fan-made Star Wars game, Galaxy in Turmoil, hit with a Cease and Desist
• Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location will be out in October
• Bitcoin exchange Bitfinex hacked, $60 Million USD in bitcoin stolen

Random Stories

As is par for the course for Lazygamer.net, we had a crap load of random stories pop up this week. Did you catch em all?

• Track every planet in the No Man’s Sky universe with this handy site
• A shootout in Vegas, a potential CIA tactic, and more – last week in Pokémon GO

Is Darryn Batman Forever?

Obviously.

Al-Man of the Week

Alessandro was Owlman last week. After the article went live, I immediately regretted my decision to not refer to him as Al-Man. Well, seeing as he’s the other caped crusader again this week, I won’t let that opportunity slip by again!

Header of the Week

I’m claiming this award for myself this week, because, hey I write this article and I can do whatever the hell I want! Come on, how can you not appreciate this header regarding World of Warcraft: Legion’s new Demon Hunter class being available soon? My Illidan Photoshop looks completely natural, right?

Most Comments

You may not see many No Man’s Sky reviews before release? That got you all talking somewhat. That article garnered a respectable 61 comments.

Comment of the Week

I normally pick a comment not from today for this award, but I just can’t let this one slip by. So, Pokémon are fleeing more frequently in Pokémon GO thanks to a bug? Generic ZA had the best response…

So are they re-branding it as Pokémon GONE?

They should! Oh, throwing this tweet here too because holy crap that burn…

Bonus Premium Content

I have not watched this video from Darryn just yet, so I’m not entirely sure if it’s safe for life or not. Watch at your own risk…

Oh and I’m leaving this here because REASONS.
