Hello baby…did you miss me? MWAH. Lock up your consoles and hide your memory cards folks, because Lazygamer is back! We’ve gorged on the power of an immeasurable Christmas day lunch, absorbed the disappointment of a terrible gift under our tree and survived a nasty booboo or two after trying to master the technology of the hoverboard. Oh yeah, we are back and ready to make 2016 a year to remember. Hell, most of you won’t even see it coming. Just the way we like it…
In Other News: Square Enix closes down Shinra, Hideo Kojima finally gets some recognition, that’s a lot of Windows and Thomas the tank engine has been unleashed.
Here’s the news that we didn’t post today, because I was too busy making 1920×1080 my New Year’s resolution. Oh, and in case you missed it, here’s the winner of our sister site, The Movies, Star Wars: The Force Awakens competition.

In Other News: The bulk of my new PC has just been delivered. Friday can’t come soon enough so I can build it.
And then reinstall everything. Urg.

Oh have fun! I had to put in a new CPU fan a while back and cursed everybody from the guy who designed the fan to myself for letting the old one get so caked with dust that the fan gave up the ghost.

I love building and reinstalling PC’s… I guess I’m just weird that way.
Lardus-For the Emperor!
January 7, 2016 at 09:19
I used to be like this. Built all my PC’s since 1999 myself. Next one I am simply going Evetech or letting Rectron assemble for me. With +-20K worth of unpainted 40K models I am afraid to have 20K PC parts lying around till I get time lol 😛

January 7, 2016 at 11:05
I picked up my 17k upgrade and built it the same day 😛
Lardus-For the Emperor!
January 7, 2016 at 11:09
It does feel good, will not argue with that! My ultimate decision will come with what the prices are between Evetech and the suppliers we normally use.
VampyreSquirrel
January 7, 2016 at 11:16
I checked my suppliers, and Evetech came in at about R3k cheaper.
Lardus-For the Emperor!
January 7, 2016 at 12:07
WHAT? That is almost an amount our honourable Nr1 cannot pronounce!

I find it quite stressful seeing as I only build one every few years. That moment of truth when you hit the power button lol.

Oh yes. I agree on that. It’s quite scary.

I gave up on that. Maybe next gen, like we said last gen 🙁

60fps is a lie… like the cloud and Bobby Kotick’s genitals.
*My research will show that Bobby Kotick can only reproduce asexually by literally humping dollar bills*

That thing with the two wheels is not a hoverboard. It’s an insult to call it a hoverboard.

I got one of those new Gloverboards for Christmas, but I’m too old for this shit.
