The good, the bad and the ugly of the past week – 11 March 2016

OMG SO CUTE

Somebody decided to finally turn off the rain. Is that the sun I see? Hello old friend, I’ve not seen you all week!

Best Stories

Alessandro and I have not been able to shut up about Overwatch, so seeing Blizzard’s shooter get an official release date made us super happy. It was first leaked, and later confirmed that it would be releasing on May 24th. Hey, that’s just two days before my birthday… WINK WINK.

How far would you go to get a game you desperately wanted? Would you drive long distances to get your hands on it? These two would, and they did.

I love me some Hearthstone, but I utterly detest building decks. Thankfully, Blizzard have a solution. They’re introducing Deck Recipes to the game, which is perfect for people like me who just want to klap some cards.

Worst Stories

I would not say no to a remake of the very first Metal Gear Solid. There was one in the works actually… unofficially. Did Konami interfere? We don’t know, but the fan-made Metal Gear Solid remake has been cancelled. Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAKE???

It’s never nice hearing that a game has been cancelled, and that a studio may be closing down too. That happened this week though. Fables Legends got canned, and their makers, Lionhead, may be shutting down.

People are loving The Division so far. You know what they all hate though? People who decide to break out into infinite exercise regimes in the middle of doorways.

Lastly, Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition is out today on Xbox One. The PC version however, has been delayed. I’m literally crying right now. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Random Stories

Like the Punisher? Here’s his 10 best stories – according to Darryn.

Darryn never ceases to amaze with his Photoshop tomfoolery. Is that Clint Eastwood playing cards? Yes, yes it is.

Then there’s Dawson’s WAAAAH face. It makes me giggle every time!

The Witcher as a franchise has sold over 20 million copies? Hot damn! That got you all talking – that news accumulated a very respectable 161 comments.

Comment of the Week

Alright Alien Emperor Trevor, you win this week for sure! With regards to those two local gamers going the distance to get their copy of The Division…

See, people do cooperate in the dark zones.

Well done sir!

            Yeah, must be Friday. even obvious toilet humour seems amusing.

            Enjoy your week Mossel. We are coming to your town later this year, as well.

            Can you ask the locals to keep it neat for us, please?

          You should get one. It’s a nice way to show your pieces and to have people able to find you if they’re interested in any of your work.

            I’ve thought about that but because I’m still at a beginner stage it feels silly to have one. Luckily this project is going to be exhibited at Sweetwell near Stellenbosch over weekends when it’s done.

            March 11, 2016 at 13:28

            I will go have a look 😛

            March 11, 2016 at 13:31

            Will let you know when it will be up. It’s still gonna take awhile for it to get there. The long weekends is going to mess everything up!

            March 11, 2016 at 13:33

            Awesome!
            I go past there every Sunday morning to go cycling at Somerbos next door to Sweetwell

            I’ve never been there but I do drive pass it on Monday mornings and on Friday afternoons. Someone told me the butchery there is really nice. That’s basically all I know of the place XD

            Oh awesome.
            Well, I think once you’ve gotten a decent amount of stuff going there’s no hurting in putting it up. You’ll be surprised how supportive and helpful those communities are.
            Even if you make it only accessible by invite at first. Then you have a central point for all your stuff online.
            Just a thought.:D
