ION Age Warning: There may be a picture of a model wearing what amounts to a bathing suit.  Wow. It’s been a bit of a mad day here at LG. So many comments. We have Gavin’s exposé on the poor handling of the farcical “Comic Con SA,” and Gavin’s plea to the community to…wait a minute, today’s all just been a big ruse, a cunning plan to snatch most comments on everything, isn’t it? I’m on to you! Still, it’s been heated – and now it’s the weekend; time for everybody to just chill a bit.

In Other News: Remember Me gets speccy, too many thieves won’t spoil this broth, the gaming industry’s too samey, Far Cry’s Bloody Dragon has sprung a leak and the Witcher 3 won’t be bewitching current gen consoles.

Here’s the news we didn’t post because we couldn’t fit inside a house.

      And after such a long day of commenting the ION gets so few comments. Commentator burn-out?

    WOW this Shelby is a bit pixelated. But man did I try to leave only fluffy white comments and rainbows today. Did not work I’m afraid.
