In Other News – 11 January 2016

Bowie-ION

Normally I like to start Monday off with some light-hearted twaddle, but hot damn, 2016 is already throwing some solid gut shots. Sad news today hearing that David Bowie, the best Nikola Tesla ever, passed away today. While I was never a hardcore listener of his music, you’d be hard-pressed to have not heard at least one or two of his tracks over an illustrious career. Plus, he made Omikron: The Nomad Soul a rather cool game. Rest in piece Ziggy Stardust.

In Other News: Zowie Bowie, CD Projekt Red denies, Theatrhythm producer wants more and that Star Wars game that you were really looking forward to has been cancelled.

Here’s the news that we didn’t post today because we were waiting for the stardust to settle.

    So who’s played Hardware Rivals on PS4 yet? Is it really as crap as I seem to think it is? Really not enjoying it

      I played the Beta last month, deleted it after an hour. Didn’t enjoy it at all.

      I wasn’t impressed, the graphics were cheap, the primary gun feels useless and the vehicles are sooo slow.

    David Bowie dies of cancer at the age of 69. That’s why the legalization of cannabis is so important. Go read the actual cancer cannabis research and you will see how important it is.

    Support the legalization of cannabis. And let’s get rid of cancer.

    Don’t support GMO crops.

            The problem is not with olden days GM crops. The problem is with todays GMO crops. Not only is there a health concern but there is also a economic concern with farmers. Farmers are drowning in debt because of these GMO crops.

            and the other concern is when the whole world is living off but a few strains of crops and those crops decide to bug out. The world becames Ethiopia. At least we will out run the cheetah to catch a springbok

            As far as science has shown so far there has not been one legitimate health concern related to GMO crops, it’s all what ifs. Quite the contrary. It saves lives by creating crops that would otherwise die out in arid areas. I do agree with you on the farmers drowning in debt and the fact that I think there are only 3 corn varieties out there that are strictly regulated by the government. That can GITFS.
