The good, the Bad and the Ugly of the past week–09 October 2015

BEST DOGS EVER.

Your weekly dose of cabbage has been slight reduced this fine Friday as Matty has left us to Get in the Sea head to rAge. rAge, if you’ve somehow never heard of it, is an annual gathering of folk underneath the massive ceiling of the Dome where everyone pays at the door to come in and join the biggest collective human melting event of the year. Oh, and there’s video games too I guess.

Best Stories

Good news! The homegrown and totally brotastic 2D shooter Broforce finally has a release date! And you’re only going to have to wait six more days until the game emerges from Early Access like a beautiful butterfly with biceps from Benoni.

Also, have you checked out this new space explorer called The Astroneer? Even Geoff said it looks great (omitting the “Indie hipster twaddle” he put on at the end).

Worst Stories

The Witcher III is getting a phenomenally huge update to ring in the first expansion, Heart of Stone. The changelog itself is 13 pages long, and it’s going to be a hefty 15Gb download when it finally arrives. Yikes.

Also it seems that even Lara can’t outrun the trends of modern gaming, as microtransactions have been confirmed for Rise of the Tomb Raider. Having to pay a dollar for Big Head mode? Get in the sea.

But in the worst news of the week, Lazygamer All Star finally succumbed to the pressure of professional Rocket League and lost an incredibly close game to TUBE. We’ll see you in the Grand Finals though! I swear it!

Random Stories

Far Cry is going all prehistoric with a spin-off title called Primal, and it’s not actually a cheaper, smaller spin-off? What the dino is going on here?

Also, Microsoft hosted a hardware event this week and showed off stuff that they’re actually making. Yeah, Microsoft is making their own laptop. Suck on that third-party partners.

ION of the Week

watermelon

I’ll be dead honest; it wasn’t even a competition this week. thanks to a combination of the unrelenting heat and the cruel teases of rain, Geoff’s reminder that there’s a refreshing fruit called watermelon was unmatched. Now give me some, pronto!

Most Comments

Let’s face it, Sonic is no longer the blue haired gaming mascot he used to be. lost Worlds is a particularly terrible game, and now it’s coming to disappoint even more people on PC. Something which got a whole lot of you talking.

Batman of the Week

Pictured: Me, if I ever won Batman

Yes yes, you know the drill. Darryn is once again your Bat….wait what? He isn’t? Well all hail Bat emperor Geoff, who reclaims his rightful place above all of us again this week.

Cabbage of the Week

Summer Cabbage Salad. So yummGROSS

I don’t like beating Matty every week. I also don’t like telling the truth. Congrats again Porra Bro. May your leafy bounty be plentiful!

Best Header of the Week

DX-Mankind

Would you play this Deus Ex spin-off? I would, but only after Eidos makes a Deus Ex: Dude Love returns.

Comment of the Week

I couldn’t stop laughing when I first read it, and I still can’t stop, reading it again. Well played Grand Admiral Chief (and, uh, sorry Rince). On Fallout 4 requiring Intelligence to make the most of its weapons.

Shame, so Rince can’t have the interesting weapons? That is kinda rude

Bonus Content

You’re weekly dose of Darryn Disturbia, as good old Ronald goes on a killing spree. That’ll teach you to eat a Whopper instead of a Big Mac (also, don’t show this to your children. Hell I won’t be sleeping tonight).

          We now have two Burger Kings very close to where we live.
          One about 500m away, and the other just over 2ks. One of which is a drive-through.
          This will not do well for my diet.

            I wanted to grab some Burger King this week… Instead I just drove past the mall everytime.

          • Commander JJ of the Normandy

            October 9, 2015 at 13:00

            The only reason why we don’t go more often is because the one 500m from us is in the mall, which sometimes (in our lazy gamer state) just seems like too much effort.
            And yes, I know how bad that sounds. 😉

            You can’t tell me anything about being lazy! My father taught me well!
            My mother said she is glad I’m so lazy cause it helps me save money and loose weight! XD

          • Commander JJ of the Normandy

            October 9, 2015 at 13:04

            That I can definitely agree with. Being lazy has made me lose weight like no diet can. Though, it’s obviously not in any healthy way.

            There’s a KFC 100m away from me right now. They make the best wraps, they look exactly like the ones in the ads, just have to walk across the road & I can be there in 2 min. I usually drive, which takes 5 minutes, because I’m lazy.

          • Commander JJ of the Normandy

            October 9, 2015 at 13:30

            Haha. You know where I live, but we’ve also got one within 200m from us. Their burgers seem better than their wraps though. They usually put moerse fillets on their burgers. (side note – remember when KFC used to call them rounders? I liked that)

            October 9, 2015 at 13:32

            I have a fish and chips close by where I work. The smell of it at lunch time is killer. But luckily still lazy enough not to go spend money XD

            I dunno hey , Have a Burger King in the Pavilion and have had from their before but apart from their crispy chicken and Extra long chilli cheese(which isn’t really) and also the unlimited refills nothing else is going for them , their chips are kinda meh…… and if the meal doesn’t have cheese then it really also ruins it , their xxl is okay at times but their beef doesn’t really bring one back, Can also kinda say with McDonalds only now order their chicken mainly grab a bunch of those R11 Chicken Burgers.

            Oh BTW guess you’ll then need to change your Name to Commander JJ of the Treadmill then:p

          • Commander JJ of the Normandy

            October 9, 2015 at 13:24

            I think I’ve only eaten four McDonalds beef burgers ever. I tend to also only go for the chicken, when I do have it. But I haven’t had McDonalds in years.
            KFC is the only real winner for me. Burger King is just a nice change every once in a while.

            Hehe. I’m actually the lightest now I’ve been in eight years. But it’s just from eating way too little. I blame my laziness.

          • Corrie

            October 9, 2015 at 14:05

            KFC-Where everything I order ever requires Zinger source hands down even their Ka ching burgers, I’ve become immune to the spiciness.

            One place I swore never to buy burgers from was Chickn Licken, seriously looks like a patty you could buy in a supermarket and just slapped some mayo and gerkin on a bun, their sliders and real hotwings are okayish.

            “but it’s just from eating way too little. I blame my laziness.”

            Laziness makes you eat less? , Sooo all those tele based excercise merch is useless all you need is Laziness :p

            October 9, 2015 at 13:27

            The only burger I’ve had so far at Burger King was the king burger. I usually smuggle it into the cinema.

          • Corrie

            October 9, 2015 at 13:58

            Lol so while every person is munching down on semi stale popcorn and drinking down their 1litre coke ,your tucking away on a burger, Brilliant Idea, I needa do that from now on.

            October 9, 2015 at 14:01

            Yeah… why do you think woman have big hand bags most of the times?!

          • Corrie

            October 9, 2015 at 14:10

            That explains sooo much now , it’s to store food and the occasional wallet and makeup but mostly food for the cinema.

            Mmm as a guy I wonder how I’ll achieve this feat of munching on fast food while watching a movie without being it being seen taken in?

          • DragonSpirit009

            October 9, 2015 at 14:15

            I doubt all women do it but thats my upside to having a hand bag.
            Take a girl friend with you. Or any other friend that is game with carrying a hand bag around.
            Or a man purse XD

            October 9, 2015 at 14:47

            Explaining to friends that I need them to bring in food would be weird :p
