In Other News – 01 July 2016

Normally I’d joke about today being a very special day for the most important Liverpool supporting beer-drinker I know, and then add Gavin’s name in after I was done wishing my dad a happy birthday. Instead, I’m wishing a sincere round of jubilation to the OG Lazygamer himself, on this most joyous of days. So serious am I about this, that I even got him a voucher for a meal at Spur and I informed the staff in secret to make the obligatory birthday chanting as loud as possible and to use some illegal sparklers that I picked up across the border in Me-Hee-Co.

Because really, I care.

In Other News: Left 3 Dead teased, the PS4 could get its system shocked and how Bioshock 2 was the undisputed heart of a trilogy.

Here’s the news that we didn’t post today, because we were too busy hearing the word of it being somebody’s bird-day today. AH WELL WELL BIRD BIRD BIRD-DAY!
