Is Darryn Batman Forever?

Batman

But of course. Darryn is so confident in his Batman ability this year that he’s not even cosplaying as the caped crusader at rAge for a change!

Nite Owl of the Week

nite-owl-watchmen-4881

Your Nite Owl this week is Craig Risi. The magical formula has deemed him worthy of this honour!

Header of the Week

WHAT-YEAR-IS-IT-Pokemon-GO

Picking my own picture for Pokemon GO finally arriving in South Africa as header of the week? OMG HOW UNETHICAL! Actually, I have Darryn’s official stamp of approval for this magical photoshop, so it’s all good, right?

Xbox-star

Darryn definitely gets an honourable mention for his magical Xbox controller header though. It was that big, right?

Have cosplay Patreons become a backdoor for porn? That’s a topic that got you all talking for sure. The article garnered 58 comments!

Comment of the Week

My favourite comment this week came from none other than our favourite “upvoter of ALL the things”, Hammersteyn. Regarding Digital Homicide’s case against Steam Users being dismissed:

“Digital Homicide committed Digital Suicide :P”

Oh you!

Bonus Premium Content

Here’s an oldie, but a goodie.

And of course, some WTF from Darryn.

      Either way Zoe wins. She is Batwoman, who is much cooler than Batman anyway.
