For quite some time now I’ve been of the opinion that most of internet drama is caused by the internet’s unfortunate ability to amplify the hateful and angry voices that will always occur.

Ladies and gentlemen, in the blue corner we have an undefeated champ! A boxer with more KOs than common sense, Floyd…MAYWEATHER! In the red corner, we have the MMA superstar, an equally impressive Irish spectacle known across the globe as Conor “tiny nipples” McGregor!

One of the many stigmas that gamers face is that we gamers (and geeks) spend a reasonably large part of our lives sitting in front of a screen, lying in front of a TV or just generally being quite sedentary people.

I did not hit her, it’s not true it’s bullcrap I did not her! I did naaaaaht…Oh hi guys. I’m so glad you’re here. With Zoe no longer with us and Geoff’s connection to Eskom’s power grid about as dead as my chances of ever getting Gavin to shut up about this “soccer” game, that leaves me with the responsibility of making damn sure that a Best Of The Week post is written.
