In Other News – 15 March 2013 Weekend Edition

IONAlt

One day, I’m going to move out this hellhole. And I’m probably going to head north to Jozi. The ratio of hipster to coffee shop is much lower up there, and I can live without an ocean. Because dolphins are dicks. But man, I really wish that I was there this weekend to hang out with you fine chaps at the StarCraft 2 event. To all who are going, have fun and kick some ass!

In Other News: Tactics goes beta, Thief ain’t going to be mainstream,more claymation on the way, Sony gives out free cash, pocket monsters priced and Jurassic Park 4 finds a director.

Because he's the writer that Lazygamer deserves, but not the one it actually needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can't take it. Because he's not a hero. He's a loud-mouthed journalist, a watchful procrastinator. A dork knight.
  • Deon Steyn

    Well as long as Mariana’s on the floor she might as well, you know….

    • Sir Captain Rincethis

      Hahaha! Right, you have progressed from starter troller to intermediate. It is time for you to get an Avatar methinks…

      • Deon Steyn

        Never got round to it thanks for reminding me.

        • Sir Captain Rincethis

          This I approve of. However, I am not sure there is another human (or other) alive that can bring a level of hate like Yhatzee. We shall see ;)

          • Deon Steyn

            Well I do share his views on games. His video on MOH warfighter and Doom 3 and the conclusion on FPS games is one of my all time favorites. Spunkgargleweewee!

            PS. AVGN also released a new video, not sure if you’ve seen it.

          • Sir Captain Rincethis

            thank you. I dod not know. Assume it’s on his site? Will have to watch with OVG tomorrow. Hole he hasn’t lost his… Charm

          • Deon Steyn

            He’s still the nerd as we know him, even Kyle is back from behind the couch.
            Not sure if it’s on his site but here’s a link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bByE7n2AJj4

            lol But I think ANGRY JOE and his best mate Joe kind of stole his thunder.

          • OVG

            BUT NEVER forget the Grandfather of gaming. Jim Sterling and the PODTOID pod cast with Jimquisition on Escape magezine.

  • Sir Captain Rincethis

    And what a week is has been. We’ve seen an awful lot of love in the Metacritic article, an awful lot of rage in the CoD, and a whole group of compost sharing negative sentiment over the awesome event tomorrow. Darryn, OVG and I will be online tomorrow if you wish to curse the people attending. We will be easy to spot. Listen for the RAGE from OVG, and the whimpers from Rincethis hiding behind his sofa, beer in hand. Well done again boys and girls for the Metacritic awesomeness!

    • OVG

      FUCK YES!!

      REVIVE ME REVIVE ME REVIVE ME REVIVE ME REVIVE ME… revive me… need more beer… ZZZzzz

    • Purple_Dragon

      Saw a lot of names I haven’t seen before on the hateful comments. Seems like a flock of angry trolls decided to descend on that particular article! Quite an eye opener o_O!

      Quite funny actually, amount of hate over semantics.

  • Admiral Chief Erwin

    Davalos mos wees

    • Sir Captain Rincethis

      have a good one buddy!

  • OVG

    Reminds me, I need to impregnate something… Maybe the heat sinks in my X groen Doos can incubate whatever I shove into the USB slot :P

  • OVG

    WOULD YOU PAY $15 000 For this?

    • OVG

      I FUCKING WOULD. But having a GOLD ZELDA with my 23 year old brothers save file still on it 20 years later?……PRICELESS YOU FANBOY FPS MOFOS

      • OVG

        And no, Rincethis is my older bro, the other 2 are 15 years apart. AND THANKS TO OUR GREAT BABY SITTING OF SHOVING CONTROL PAD into our younger bros hands. My 23 year old is 3rd year med student and my 21 year old is earning more than OVG and Rincethis as an IT developer.

        GAMES FCKING RULE.

        • Purple_Dragon

          Someone had a few drinks and was busy?

          Thanks for all the pretty pics though!

        • Skyblue
