It’s amazing what you can learn from games. Yesterday in Battlefield 1 for example, I used my trusty wrench to repair a busted up tank to the point where it looked brand new. An hour or so later, my garage door needed some fixing IRL. Believe it or not, I got it into a state of operation with the very same tool. Thanks Battlefield 1!

Nite Owl of the Week
Darryn has been kicked off the Nite Owl stand by none other than our one hit (a week) wonder, Glenn. Well done old chap, you deserve it!
Header of the Week
This week’s best header award goes to none other than our eSports guru, Kyle. He did some magical Photoshop (better than anything I can do to be quite frank) on his piece about Rick and Morty’s Dan Harmon producing an eSports comedy for YouTube Red.
Most Comments
Glenn did a piece on taking “SJW” politics out of gaming earlier this week. That sure you got lots of you talking. The editorial managed to drum up a whopping 173 comments!
Comment of the Week
This week’s comment doesn’t involve text really, but a gif. I love those damn short animated clips! Umar used one to perfection on Glenn’s article. He took the following quote from it:
“SJW Politics as a term doesn’t belong in gaming. What does belong are social issues. Gaming is growing up. It’s time we did too.”
And followed it with a:
Damn good gif, sir. I approve!

I need darkness and quiet. Used to get a multi-day migraine attack at least once a year, not had one since I turned 30.

Don’t often get multiday ones anymore, but they’re horrible. Been getting them on and off for about 5 years now, no one can explain what is causing them.

Yeah, I was told something like 6000 causes, with 6 or 7 main or more common ones.
Geez, painful, loss of vision, my left side of the body, particularly arm and leg, go numb (at the start already, warning sign). Been 9 years and I still remember exactly how bad it was…..
