In Other News – 17 August 2015

Muppet-Monday

I have a thing for spicy food with flavour.Which is most likely why I love putting Sriracha sauce on everything lately. Even Tennis Biscuits. But I think I might need to go cold turkey soon. It’s not that my blood happens to be mostly Huy Fong ingredients these days, but I’m a tad bit worried about the state of my internal organs with all that sauce floating through them.

Also, I can’t afford more jeans. Sriracha farts tend to be hot enough to forge steel, and that’s having an adverse effect on my wardrobe. And the people around me. I’m pretty much a biohazard with bad hair already!

In Other News: The hammer of Thor if you’re four, Otherland is playable soon, Quantum Break gets some new box art, Red Ash needs your cash again and why gaming is more than just a hobby.

Here’s the news that we didn’t post today, because we were too busy trying to get Lazygamer recognised as a tax-free religion.

      You have no idea…
      Had a massive deploy yesterday, got to work and the entire network was out delaying the deploy.
      Then the typical deployment errors, then typical Monday post deployment live errors. 🙁

        I miss developing. All I seem to do is build customized reports these days

          Lol. I remember them trying to do that. Fortunately we have a dedicated Information Management team.

          Not that I dev much either, apparently team leads spend most of their time in meetings

            Here, have a sarcastic “shame”.

            And on top of that we’ve been trying to recruit, but none have passed the test so far.

          I don’t miss it. Currently just want this development thing to go away so I can get back to animation and video… BAH.

            I guess so. Still, I take him out before I go to bed – so he shouldn’t be doing it inside at all. 😛

        I have a dog because no one wanted her and they were going to take her to the SPCA.

          That’s probably the best reason to get a dog.

            I’m really bad with stuff like that though. I’d bring home an entire animal farm if someone left me at a shelter.

          • VampyreSquirrel

            August 17, 2015 at 16:57

            lol… I just got an image of YOU getting left at a shelter, and then somehow finding your way home with a bunch of animals.

          • Captain JJ Fantasticus

            August 17, 2015 at 16:59

            Haha. When you say it like that it sounds like they dropped me off to live at the shelter myself.
            (don’t give this idea to Trevor)

          • Lord Chaos

            August 17, 2015 at 17:00

            Wouldn’t Trevor rather drop you off at “The Farm” than a shelter?

          • Captain JJ Fantasticus

            August 17, 2015 at 17:01

            The Farm where they take your pets when they get old? O_o

            August 17, 2015 at 17:03

            I want to make a bad comment, but the fact that I like animals a hell of a lot more than humans is stopping me.

            This would have been good to know before you got married.

            *Drops of drunk JJ at animal shelter
            *Wife pissed because he missed the wedding due to multiple trips taking all the animals home.

    Is it not enough that we see Lazygamer as a religion?

    I’m VampyreSquirrel, and I am a Lazygamerian (for lack of a better name), I worship the Gaming Gods and drink of the Gaming Mead!

            We’ll have to make the sign something other than a cross. I think Rince burns when he touches those.

            We have a sign/symbol… the dossing (maybe intoxicated) Pac-Man.
