In Other News – 28 October 2015

Would you like some more cheese with that whine? Ah, I love using that tired expression, but to be honest, I could happily go for more of both in my life. Okay, one isn’t allowed at the moment, but man my love of cheese runs deep and will pretty much always make me stop whining.

In Other News: Gran Turismo is totally something different, Ancel probably won’t ever have time to make me happy by making Beyond Good and Evil 2, and sex in games isn’t just about inserting gifts until sex comes out anymore.

Here’s the news we didn’t post today because we were too busy booking reservations at that cafe in Dublin.

            I remember when I was at Uni you could buy a papsak for something like R8.
            It was mostly vinegar though, to be fair.

            Right around the corner from where I stayed in Stellenbosch they had a little shop that sold offcut white wine in plastic bottles. I was never brave enough to try it though. I was a cheap student, like everyone else, but not that cheap ;P

            I used to work for a liquor company. Go do a stock take in a warehouse where they store papsak & you’ll never drink wine again. Over 30 degrees, no air conditioning, week old spilled papsak coating the floor. Fun times.

            Never really understood why there is a difference in price between different platforms. In all honesty (and I am not taking a cheap shot :p) but the PS4 delivers lower grade quality as opposed to the PC so it should be cheaper xD

          • Captain JJ the Goo

            October 28, 2015 at 16:49

            Consoles have to pay licensing fees (royalties) to Sony and MS. So it bumps up the price quite a bit.

          • Captain JJ the Goo

            October 28, 2015 at 16:53

            I think Steam takes a tiny cut or asks a small percentage. But royalty fees can be anything from 13% up to 50%. Though the 50% is rare and usually only with entertainment such as music.
