The good, the bad and the ugly of the past week – 15 January 2016

KITTY

Hello weekend my old friend! You won’t believe the week I’ve had. I actually had to work every single day. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! How I miss those glorious half weeks…

Best Stories

What’s better than people playing games to raise money for charity? Nothing I tell you, which is why I consider Awesome Games Done Quick raising over $1.2 million for a good cause to be some of the best news I’ve seen all week.

In other awesome news, a Norwegian high school has introduced eSports into the curriculum. How cool? All I need now is a time machine so I can go back to my younger days.

In even more awesome news, ROBOT WARS! Surely you all remember this show? It’s coming back!

Worst Stories

The worst news this week isn’t actually gaming related, but definitely worth mentioning. Two legends, David Bowie and Alan Rickman, lost their lives to cancer, both at the age of 69. That damn disease can GITFS!

In other horrible news, a father received a bit of a shock when his credit card bill arrived. R88000 spent? On what? Oh nothing… just some casual FIFA microtransactions.

Random Stories

What console sees the most porn traffic? Don’t even pretend that you’ve never pondered over that question because, oh who am I kidding? Of course you haven’t – nobody has, but that hasn’t stopped PornHub from releasing some key statistics which contains the answer! Spoiler: PlayStation owners are a bunch of wan…

MOVING RIGHT ALONG.

Hey Lightning, that’s a nice Luis Vuitton bag you have there. Please tell us more about it. Wait a second, you’re not even real!

Alessandro started streaming this week. His game of choice? Bloodborne, because he’s a sucker for punishment. Don’t worry if you missed it, because YouTube keeps a record of everything. To quote Al himself, “CRAP CRAP CRAP!”

Batman of the Week

BATMAN

Hey Darryn, nice haircut. Now if you could stop claiming Batman every week, that’d be great, thanks!

Header Image of the Week

PS4hub

Oh the simple genius that is Darryn. This image slapped onto the ‘PlayStation users watch more porn than Xbox One owners’ article is pure magic!

Most Comments

Which console sees the most porn? The PlayStation 4 it seems. That article was filled with some interesting stats, and grabbed a whopping 107 comments as a result. I’m glad I’m not the only one who wondered though – who the hell watches porn on a 3DS (and a Wii)?

Comment of the Week

Hey, maybe that kid who spent R88 000 on microtransactions in FIFA did it for a specific reason. Well spotted Konfab, I do believe you are onto something:

This guy made a donation to EA to ensure Mass Effect Andromeda is going to be good. Why the hate?

It all makes sense! There were many other great comments this week. I’d recommend checking out the PornHub statistics article for some additional giggles – there are far too many to put here!

      I’m cautiously optimistic about the Batman vs Superman movie.
      The Suicide Squad though, that I’ve already given up on.

        I like the concept and massively enjoyed the Batman special, where the suicide squad went after Jokers nuclear bomb. (2013 cartoon movie? Cannot recall the name, but it is loads of fun. Wife stopped watching, after being engaged by the start, when Harley Quinn bit an ear off an orderly)

        Also, who is truly the most evil member of the suicide squad? CIA lady?

          I love the suicide squad in comics, but what they’ve done to the characters for the movie are just short of sacrilege.

          Assault on Arkham? DC animated stuff is really good in general.

            Yeah, thats the one.

            Most of the stuff is good, but one or two real clankers in the bunch too.

            Black Widow and Punisher (is that even DC?) was not fun at all.

            January 15, 2016 at 14:10

            They’re both Marvel – you’re going to give some people around here a heart attack saying things like that. 😉

            Honestly, I get them confused all the time.

            I like certain characters, like Batman and read that, but almost nothing else DC. And now I see that X-men are involved in the same universe (Marvel?) as well, all too confusing for me.

          • Captain JJ 'saurus

            January 15, 2016 at 14:17

            I often forget that X-Men falls under Marvel.

            Well they regularly cross over, around, under and diagonally in comic books, but they’re completely separate in live-action because of different companies having the rights to characters.

            January 15, 2016 at 14:12

            I enjoyed Punisher War Zone. But not the first one with Travolta in it.
            Felt it did Frank Castle justice. Sure, the story was bland, but as a character he was a good Punisher.

          • Alien Emperor Trevor

            January 15, 2016 at 14:14

            I actually like the first one more – thought Thomas Jane did a better job. War Zone had the better action though.

          • Captain JJ 'saurus

            January 15, 2016 at 14:16

            Yea, that violence in War Zone did not disappoint. They were also less typical Marvel action scenes.

          • miaau

            January 15, 2016 at 14:17

            No, no, there is a cartoon with Black Widow and Punisher (made in 2013 I think) teaming up, with Shield first capturing him and all that. It was bad, was my point.

            I associated them because both were comic book cartoons.

          • Captain JJ 'saurus

            January 15, 2016 at 14:19

            Oh, I see. Alright.
            I must say with the animated stuff the two must-watch DC cartoons is Batman Beyond – Return of the Joker movie (some dark stuff) and obviously The Dark Knight Returns movie.

          Sure, Jared Leto is a good actor but I can’t look at that terrible character design without finding it laughably cliché. It’s everything that the Joker is not.

            It’s a different Joker sure, but every version on the big screen has been different so far

          • Captain JJ 'saurus

            January 15, 2016 at 13:59

            Nah. If you go google “thug” right now, you will get 1000s of images that look like that Joker. It’s just too typical bad-guy, which is everything that the Joker is against. Call me super geek, but at least with the other ones they made him look like more than just an average thug.

            January 15, 2016 at 14:17

            I hear you, but I’m gonna see the movie before passing final judgement

          • Captain JJ 'saurus

            January 15, 2016 at 14:20

            I did enjoy the trailer, I’ll admit. And the movie might end up being good, but it’s just that Joker that I can’t take seriously. But we shall see! 😀

            You both have good points, but I am with Captain on this. That joker seems cheap somehow and joker, for me, is somehow classy in his dress as well. That is the scaryiness, the contrast of classy and crazy.

    I need help.

    Anyone know where to buy a silk (or feels like silk) robe or kimono ? I do not want spend thousands on it. Perhaps even a silken or satin bath type gown?

    My wife is pregnant again and I thought this is a great gift, she can wear this on the days she is too tired to get dressed properly.

    Any ideas? phoned a few stores, they all will phone me back. Sigh.

          Well, she is cranky in the 1st trimester, but, no, I had not considered that as yet. A very extreme reaction to a bit of grumpiness due to tiredness and hormone changes.

          There is a little china-shop on the second level of the Sinoville Centre that my wife likes.

          Try there
