The good the bad and the ugly of the past week (13 March 2015)

RIP Terry

On a day as sad as today, let’s stop making things hard for ourselves and remember Sir Terry Pratchett’s amazing words. “That’s mortals for you, they’ve only got a few years in the world and they spend them all in making things complicated for themselves. Fascinating.” RIP Terry.

Best Story

Evolve is grabbing some free maps as DLC this month, and Ori and the Blind Forest is an awesome game. However, it seems the news that made you all happiest was that GTA V was rolling out online heists early.

Worst Story

It’s hard to top the bad news about Sir Terry Pratchett. However, that’s not our gaming news and there were a bunch of lame stories this week. Local indies aren’t do great on Kickstarter, racist COD threats led to a cop getting fired and Project CARS was hit with yet another delay. But there was far worse news this week. The FPB wants to infringe on internet freedom. Even worse, public outcry has been minimal. So get thee to social media, write emails, do whatever it takes to make your voice heard that you want the FPB to keep their hands off our internet.

Best ION

Darina

Our weekend edition lady was my favorite, and since that was technically less than a week ago, I’m declaring her our winner. Way better than that weird one Darryn picked on Monday, and it’s not like Geoff’s food looked particularly appetizing this week (even if it does taste delicious). Besides, it proves that a lady doesn’t need to be in her underwear to be sexy.

Most Comments

Oh Gavin. Love him or hate him, he certainly knows how to get everyone talking. He gave an update on Colin Webster and explained the facts . Of course this grabbed tons of comments and raised some interesting discussions about ethics in eSports.

Least Comments

It seems Darryn’s One-punch article actually managed to snag more than one comment. This is more than we can say about Geoff’s review round-up for Codename S.T.E.A.M. which only garnered one response. Seems sort of fitting considering the mixed reviews and lack of interest in the game.

Batman of the Week

Batswitch

This week I am but a lowly Robin/Nightwing to the glorious Batman that is Geoff. Claiming his place at the top after a few weeks of Darryn’s despotic rule, all seems back to normal.

Best Header

Blades of glory 1

I bow before the photoshop skills. Not only is it the perfect film reference, that face is just fantastic and doesn’t show any of those classic photoshop fails that I would have done if I tried to make this image. One day I’ll learn to be this awesome. One day.

Best Comment

While some people thought it was a joke that Darryn is building a PC, he actually means it. Of course, your comments are massively helpful, but none more so than this one from eXpZA. Well played, sir.

Only buy 1GB of RAM, use USB sticks and enable ReadyBoost. Saves money.
Firewalls are known to reject packets, and packets lead to more FPS. Disable your firewall for a 13% FPS improvement (unless playing games made before 2002. Then enable your firewall, as Firewalls were only invented in 2002 so this should help.)
A common virus is PnkBstrB.exe, make sure to alt tab out of games and kill that .exe in Task Manager. Also leads to 10% more FPS.
Aeroplanes are faster than cars, therefore WiFi is faster than a LAN cable. Always game on WiFi, make sure you’ve set your channel to 6 and your WiFi type to a or b.
The faster your hard drive spins, the more likely data is to go flying off of it. Make sure you get a 5,400 RPM drive and not a 7,200RPM. Don’t go for SSD drives, as they wipe your data as soon as you lose your PC (as they’re just fancy RAM hard drives).
SMS me if you need more help.

Bonus Content

While the best tribute we can pay to Sir Terry Pratchett is to read and love his words, here are the last words he ever spoke on TV.

            I take it back. Support DRM. It eliminates confusion and clones.

    That news made me incredibly sad last night. One of the very first books I was ever given was Terry Pratchett’s The Dark Side of The Sun. I think I still have it tucked away somewhere, I hope I do anyway.

    I also have the counting ability of a troll when it comes to remembering quotations but one I’ve never forgotten is this from Reaper Man:

    Bill Door: You know when you said that seeing me gave you quite a start?
    Mrs. Flitworth: Yes?
    Bill Door: I gave you quite a stop.

    Thank you, Sir Terry.

      I would not waste my time trolling myself. You know an Xbox One fan could be behind the trollin. I have never had any nice words for Xbox One since that shit was announced. The Xbox One fanboys can get a bit extreme. And looking back at the Xbox One fanboy trollin, they not promoting the console that well, well they are promoting the Xbox fanboy stereotype well.

      Anyway. The Real Ryanza wastes his time trying to make and say Don’t Support DRM as much as he can. And since the Witcher 3 doesn’t have DRM at retail, The Real Ryanza has been trying to say The Witcher 3 is coming after he says Don’t Support DRM. Saying those two lines is what Ryanza likes. The rest is just bullshit.

      People have tried to paint me as crazy and now that people are going crazy with my nickname, people tends to believe it’s me. But it’s not. I’m not that crazy.

      Oh just one last time.

      Don’t Support DRM. The Witcher 3 is coming.
      (oh it feels so good)

      Anyway the troll is on a mission to get me to fuck off. And with all the trolling before and how i fucking hate these trolls, I’ve been fucking off for some time now. That means I have not been commenting a lot. So from now on if it says Ryanza It ain’t me. It surprises me how people actually thinks this troll is me.

          You would never be able to comment in the way I comment. People who like my comments will know the difference. People now know that you are going around and actively trying to troll with my nickname. You not even being real with people.

          so this stupid attempt at playing Ryanza. lol. oh fucking trolls. These stupid trolls. Xbox One fanboys does sound right. lol.

          So every time you reply to someone or you make a comment that just goes along with what other people are saying, if your comments are not extreme and smart, you will never be able to fake a Ryanza comment.

          You replied to saying saying cool. lol You even replied with ?. lol. And people think I am this stupid fuck. lol.

            Don’t worry about it. His just a troll who got upset with me over some shit I said. Now it’s his mission to troll me. So it’s more between us. But I hate this shit. I hate interacting with people who can’t be real with me. And trolls just love to turn things to shit.

            The troll has been banned, and as a result, the comments have been nixed. Sick of this shit.

            Don’t ban the comments. People learn in different way. Banning will not help this troll become more than a stupid troll. Maybe a smarter troll could be better and fun. Maybe being real with people is the ultimate goal. So banning will help achieve that.

            you cant ban the Internet. I dont see what I am doing wrong. I am not swearing etc.

            March 13, 2015 at 14:21

            I fucking swear all the time. I like swearing. but swearing is not the issue here. It’s about you not letting shit go. You not being real with people. You are hiding behind my nickname and trying to fool people by trolling me.

            Respect other people. that’s what it comes down too. If you want to troll me do it by making a post and rant about me. Don’t troll my comments and don’t troll other peoples comments.

            Swearing lol. What is this a child.

            So now Lazygamer is trying to BLOCK FREE SPEECH. I am not the one who is swaering and ranting. I dont have a problem with XBox one people (or PC or PS4) for that matter. I thought this was a place for all.

            This is a place for all – but you’ve taken to actively ruining others’ experiences. It’s beyond the point of funny, well in to tiring.

            I was tired of it from the get go. But people like laughing at me. It’s been long now and it’s weird that this person can’t let it go.

        Don’t play it off like that. You went beyond just the name. Actively trolling my comments. And now using the name with DRM and Witcher confusing people to think it was me.

        Use the name but find your own voice. And stop trolling. Be a real boy. Push that nose back. Now it sounds like a jewish hate comment. lol. It was not that.

        Even though I hate that you choice to troll me, I will still speak up against the deleting and the banning. That shit was not cool. But when you play a not cool game you should expect a not cool response.

          Actually I agree with the Dont Support DRM. I even put a Polish Flag of allegiance in my comments. I thought people would like that. (You know CD Project Red) The banning was absurd I agree. Semms the staff got a bit upset though. Sorry from now on I will only use the Timmy name.

          Look i am not saying I am not a troll. I am not a bad troll though, just some general non conforming comments (good to have some difference of opinion here), but pleas lets not get all China on me and ban me. I am going to change my name to Timmy_The_Good_Troll.
          BTW I do post lots of gaming related intelligent post, you can look through previous days comments.
          Also I am not a Xbox One fanboy FYI
