I had intentions of putting up some real food today – but those were shattered, much like Darryn’s hopes and dreams. Instead, given the serendipitous timing we have something else instead.

Yes, it’s a KFC double crunch, which as you may or may not know is back in stock at the famous fried chicken purveyor. It’s back – though before you get too excited, some are complaining that the sauce KFC is using just isn’t the same. Let us know if you’ve tried it since its re-launch today – or just let us know if you barely consider the stuff food.

        It’s console, they ran out of buttons. Or seeing how you hold the touchpad and press triangle to summon your ship they thought why not do the same to summon your sparrow?

    One, it needs bacon.

    Two new Lazygamer site complaints:
    The new site/format doesn’t like a wonky data connection; I need to refresh a page half dozen times before it loads up properly due to crappy Telkom line I have today.
    Also everyday it seem there is new pop-up thingy coming in from side bottom ot top making the screen real estate used for reading the articles and comments smaller. Feels like watching rugby on Supersport wiht the stupid insurance cartoon on the left, Vodacom meerkat running around on the bottom, beer ad on top reducing my 42″ to 20″ screen.

      It is a bit of a mess. Especially when one has to keep as smaller window as possible so the boss does not see resulting in everything over lapping each other.

        I’m sorry for criticizing their hard work (fuck it if you are a developer you should get used to it); but the upgrades are entering over engineered territory.

        The two “pop up” scroll lock bars on top are useless; I know which article I’m reading and the article title is in the url text box 2cm the irritating pop up bar and if I want to access any of the main links I’ll scroll to the top of the page.

      pop up things? There shouldn’t be any pop up things apart from the effective measure survey that happens sometimes and I can’t stop unfortunately.. nothing else should pop up.

      The floating title is being discussed… I like it but I could be wrong, it’s never happened before but you never know.

        That is what I’m talking about the floating title and the floating header/menu bar.

        I might be in the minority here, just my opinion.

        Also wanted to add that the floating bars/title is an annoyance; but the inability to fully load the page because my connection is a bit crappy is a deal breaker for the duration of the bad connection.

    I came here expecting hot girls, delicious food or strange tech and I see this… disappointing.

    Interesting story I heard about KFC (I’m not sure if it’s true):
    A guy orders a burger with no mayo.
    The guy gets his burger, bites into it and finds mayo so he goes to complain.
    He gets told that they didn’t put any mayo on his burger.
    Turns out the chicken had a cyst and the “mayo” was actually pus.
    The best part of the story was that I was told it while eating a chicken mayo sandwich.
    Sorry to anyone who is eating while reading this.
