Good morning. It is a good morning right? Right?!

Thursday – why you not Friday? So. The Xbox One has a release date. 22 November. It’s for 13 countries only, and while South Africa is not one of them, there are plenty of other countries not getting it then. So quit your moaning. The countries that are getting the console before Christmas this year are: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France,…
Like all of the Trenchtown events to date, the morning started out with a downpour. Rain appears to accompany gaming, but thankfully, unlike the first Trenchtown event it didn’t appear to deter as many players.
