Because No One Asked For... October 2013 To Be Pure Online Gaming Carnage, But I'll Be Happy About It!

We are now less than one week away from 1st October 2013. It's not generally heralded as a special day in particular out of the 365 (or 366 - leap year blah blah yadda yadda yadda) we experience each and every Gregorian monitored orbit of the Sun. This year it even falls on a Tuesday and I think we'd all struggle to place Tuesdays above seventh place in a popularity contest of the days of the week in terms of importance (Public Holidays are gonna help out Mondays' case, surely?!).

This coming Tuesday, however, looks destined to be something quite different if you happen to be a video gamer and particularly an online player.  In fact it looks set to be a very special, if not deliriously annoying in the very best of ways Tuesday. Like some strange celestial phenomena, where heavenly bodies align their magnetic fields, playing merry chaos with the mental faculties of all in its path, we are going not only going to be confronted with the release of GTA Online, but also Battlefield 4's Multiplayer Beta and from Re-Logic we have Terraria's long awaited 1.2 update.
