In Other News – 25 March 2015

Today is Bloodborne day. And pay day. Coincidence? I think not! You see, it was all a clever ploy to kill our monthly funds before we ever stood a chance, much like a Bloodborne boss. Curses FromSoftware, curses!

I know, I know, Uber isn’t wired. But this is supposed to be the tech ION and most tech at the moment feels very same-y. So, I figured I’d run with the app that feels the most futuristic – get a private driver at your finger tips and feel like Batman. That’s a win in my book. The fact that it’s safe and affordable? Even better.

In Other News: Become a Triad, go vroom vroom for a limited time and wow mobile games make a ridiculous amount of money.

Here’s the news we didn’t post today because we were too busy selling our skin.

      Innovation and efficiency will always be challenged by established norms (old world order) until they are tested and proven. Personally, I would use Uber before climbing into any taxi (private/public) should the need arise.

          The Fus Ro Dah in Witcher doesn’t stand for “Force, Balance and Push” though.
          It stands for “Force, Balance and Sex”

            Game of Thrones has nothing on Geralt. 😉

            GOG : Game of Geralt

            Seriously why hasn’t CD Projekt thought of it, I mean Emelia Clarke as Ves -_-

            Seriously GOT needs to hurry the winter up, need me some more mindless action

            Don’t really have time for the books plus laziness

            March 25, 2015 at 16:42

            I have to admit.
            Me too. (I usually make a point of it though – but laziness)

            Fuckin lazy gamers. Don’t know how to promote shit. It is very important to promote reading of books.

            I have noticed people, by lending the books, that people who are not into fantasy books, seems to like the Witcher books. Geralt is just badass, there is no way you can not like him.

            Read the books. They good. And a good way to prepare yourself for The Witcher 3 video game, while you wait for the game to be released.

            I’ve read all the Witcher books (even the badly translated ones). Loved them all.
            But Game of Thrones isn’t my favourite thing ever, and time is an issue always.

          • Ryanza

            March 25, 2015 at 16:58

            Game of Thrones has way too much detail that the author even need extreme fans help to remember all the damn details.

            Wonder if Exclusive books has a copy, shall walk in tomorrow, just to find time to read

            Getting a 3D model of the wolf medallion, it’s white but will have to do till I find the medallion that came with the Special Editions and if people are willing to depart for the right price

          • Ryanza

            March 25, 2015 at 16:56

            Most on the top online retailers, you can order from them. I’m not sure if exclusive will stock the books.

          • Ryanza

            March 25, 2015 at 17:07

            And just to add. When I ordered through Takealot.com I noticed they ordered more than one copy of the book to keep in stock.
            From the 4 top online retailers, when I browse, I notice the Witchers books are in stock and then out of stock and then in stock again. So people in South Africa are buying these Witcher books.

            Thanks, I know if I get the digital version I won’t read it,

            And sadly was just playing Witcher 2 and power went off, thank goodness for Quick Save

      Interestingly, no one really carried their swords on their backs in medieval times, (as it was too difficult to sheath or unsheath in an emergency). It was mostly popularized by movies and books.
