Talk Amongst Yourselves

I had so long to prepare something to say while newTAY was non-existant… but I still couldn’t think of anything. D:
GOOD MORNING.
It appears I may need to reorganise my travel arrangements to the meat…
Pixel! You don’t need a house! Take me to Sydneeeeeeeeeeeeey!
LADIES AND SIRS,
THE MONOMEAT IS THIS CATURDAY.
Here’s a recap in case you forget easily or don’t pay attention to me (which is surprisingly common, no idea why…):
We are rendezcous-…ing at the Monorail at The Galleries (near wagamama) at 11:30 AM on Saturday, all looking classy as shit (which knowing us TAYbies will result at everyone arriving by 12:30pm), ride it around and around and around and around until we all go insane.
This is then followed by lunch, at which we will all marvel at Bish’s ability to consume endless quantities of food.
After this point a small group of us staying overnight will break off to go and check into the room to dump our bags.
This is then followed by Galaxy world, where we will once again attempt to destroy the bumper cars, cause each other injuries, or both.
After this, we shall acquire dinner noms then go on to drink in fantastic fashion. General merriment will ensue until we all pass out.
SO.
Things to consider/keep in mind:
– I’ll be driving in and parking my car in the city overnight – if you need a lift in I have 4 spots free but I will be leaving on the Sunday morning (so keep it in mind if you are planning on leaving Saturday night). If you need a place to put your bags (if you are staying overnight) give me a heads up and we can use my car as temporary storage until we check in later in the day.
– If you are suiting/dressing up and crashing the night I highly recommend bringing a change of clothes.
– The following people are crashing in the room overnight (we are at max capacity now):
Myself
Ruffle
Hugo
Rize
Pixel
Shiggy
Doc
Batgirl
– For Batgirl, Doc, Shiggy and Pixel make sure you guys bring $45 with you on the Saturday. At this point I’ll dispense these funds to those of us who paid extra for the room.
– Sunday morning (for those staying) is the traditional post-hangover epic breakfast, so if you don’t have to be anywhere then you are welcome to stay for epic noms.
Really looking forward to seeing you all there – this is sounding like a big turnout and it should be heaps of fun. I wholeheartedly recommend you all dress up if you can.
LET’S SHOW THE OTHER STATES WHAT A REAL MEAT IS LIKE!
-Pez
-
I’ve just gotten word that Pixel will be unable to make it.
Does anyone else want to take Pixel’s spot and crash overnight? $45 and you get your very own top or bottom bunk.
-
WAIT WHAT??!?
*deep breathe*
PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
We were supposed to sing “cradled in love” together and drink many a mead.
*breaks down sobbing*-
We were supposed to sing “cradled in love” together and drink many a mead. While backpacking
Fixed.

At a train station or destination between the greater west and the city :p
I’ll be travelling along the M4 to get in, so any destination along the way that is a slight detour is no problem.
-
-
Yep, that’d be great. Aim to be there by about 10:30 to give us enough time to pick up anyone else along the way and get in there.
-
Sweet, anywhere in Blacktown easiest for you?
-
Anywhere! Station is fine though.
-
-
-
-
-
I object to Bish’s objection that gives the impression that he eats food with any sort of urgency.
-
Apologies, that should be “we should not attend to lunch in a hasty manner”.
One cannot rush the consumption of food, Pessimisto, you must savour it and absorb it. Relish the moment. -
Are there any places nearby that sell relish though?
-
-
Ooh, details. At this point I’m 99.99% sure I can make it. Just have to figure out where this Monorail is…
My train gets in at 11:18am. I’m excited AND nervous (please don’t steal my organs)!
-
The Gallerie/Galerie, whatever the fuck they call it.
It’s where the kumi…kuminoya… I dunno, the book place. With books and shit.
It’s in the same building that ichi ban boshi and wagamama are at. Can’t miss it.
-
-
dat one.
-
-
Thanks for the monumental effort you’ve put into organising, Pez! I vote we all buy him a drink on Saturday.
So my boyfriend wants to come along to this meat of ours (zomg) – is that okay?
The main reason being that he needs to do some research for an assignment and he said the TAYbies would make the perfect focus group. Won’t take long, we’ll just need to do a survey or something.
So who’s dressing up for this meat?!
-
Yay, I like getting experimented on.
Dressing up? What’s this about dressing up? and in what precisely?-
-
Probably use the toilet facilities if need be, though.
Hygiene and all that jazz. -
So I take it just a loin cloth will be okay then.
Also, I wear “suit like stuff” every weekday, my weekends are for grungy, hole ridden, ill fitting, but very comfortable clothing.
-
-
-
-
-
So that’s NOT what the hidden pockets are for?
…Jeeves is going to be mad.
-
-
-
I hope there won’t be probes in my no no places like last time.
YOU PROMISED IT WOULD TICKLE. IT DIDN’T.
-
-
Check if you have any surprise suits then.
MASHAAAAAAAAAAAA!
-

I didn’t realise the full extent of how amazing IKEA is. People always told me that it was awesome. But, it just can’t be conveyed in words. It’s like a Disneyland for adults, where you can buy adult LEGO kits that you can PUT STUFF ON. It’s life-changing.
-
-
It’s cheap for a reason… about the only thing that is edible is the meatballs.. and even they aren’t as good as they used to be.
And the softdrink *shudders* ALWAYS FLAT!Better idea is a stunner deal from HJ’s 😀
-
-
When I go there, I think: cheap lunch. But $1 is TOO cheap, so I must buy three hot dogs, just so I feel I’ve spent the ‘right’ amount of money. Then I get sick.
-
Well, define “expectations”. For $1 I expect it leave my body as quick as it takes to run to the bathroom.
-
Their $1 hotdogs are awesome. Because mustard.
-
-
-
-
You mean adult LEGO that you can put ACTUAL LEGO on!
It truly is amazing.
I want their glass display cabinets for some of my figs
-
We grabbed three sets of Billy bookshelves. We’ll be going back for glass doors in a couple of weeks! Going to convert the centre one purely for figures: http://imgur.com/rZm3u
-
-
Hahahahahaa I need another Billy shelf for my actual Transformers collection! The ones out at the moment are just my Classics shelf, my Masterpiece/War for Cybertrion shelf and the Leader class figs from the movies series on top. Oh, and Optimus/Grimmy/Magnus trio of Autobot leaders from the animated series.
I’ve got no room to display my Beast Wars figs at the moment, and it breaks my heart.
-
-
-
-
My god IKEA is huge, especially in NSW. Went down to NSW a couple of weeks ago and went to an IKEA. My god, I swear they need “base camps” every so often in the store so you can camp out the night and continue your hike the next day.
-
-
yeah, I wish I knew about going to Sydney a bit earlier so we could organise a mini-meat thingie.
-
-
-
Disneyland is Disneyland for adults.
Anyone who doesn’t agree can GTFO.
(Except my wife. She would disagree, but she can stay.)
Morning all. Hope you all had a good weekend n stuff.
**Trials Evolution Competition**
I want to organise a competition of sorts. One of the best things I ever did in Trials was to compete in a competition. I hardly ever won it and thats not what its about, its just about having focus to try and be the best you can on a particular track. So if you are interested, please leave your gamertag below. Add each other as friends and at the end of the week (Sunday Night), I will collect the times and post them in here?
So, the rules are simple, we pick a track at the start of the week and we go crazy. Get the best time you can and then at the end of the week we will post the leaderboard. I’d really like to start the competition with an awesome one.. I want to Run GIGATRACK for the first week, we all see who can get the best times (Im not competing unless someone beats my time)… If you want to whimp out and pick another track, thats fine too?
Let me know if anyone is interested?
-
-
Oh, we should totally have this event sponsored by TAYbar and have prizes or something???
Im ‘FatShady Live’ btw.
-
I still haven’t even finished Gigatrack, so I guess I’ll take the last post. Xbox Live Gamertag: TheLastQuestion – I think I already have most TAYbies on my friends list.

I beat that!

This comment on a devin towsend clip just mew my blind!!!
“LOL, I heard this song at a local strip club yesterday and remembered that I have this album at home still. I was blown away to hear it in a strip club of all places, the show was awesome BTW!”
They have stripclubs that play music that ISN’T horrible pop music, or Cherry Pie by Warrant?!!?
Man i have been out of it for too long…
-
And that comment was on the Ziltoid version of “hyperdrive”.
Man i would be too busy rocking the feth out to even care about the boobies if that came on.
-
I honestly expected it would have been the Addicted version of Hyperdrive with the female vocalist. Wow. That’s actually surprising.
-
You know what i absolutely love, and i mean LOVE!?
The two versions blended together… wow.. just wow…
-
How can I experience this?
-
-
-
-
-
Yeah I’ve been to Speamint Rhino for a Bucks night and they played a fair bit of metal, t’was a pleasant surprise
-
Girls, Girls, Girls in Las Vegas (I assume) would play decent music, nothing by those bands who thought they were awesome in the 80’s like Poison & Warrant.

I had a wireless adapter that I forced upon a friend because I didn’t need it any more, but I don’t think he has ever used it.
I’ll ask him and it’s yours if it’s available!

THE WORKPLACE (working title) – Pilot
Idea co-created by Jordi, Blaghman, Notoriousaur and Bish
[Camera shot of and flame-haired man in his office, spending a good half minute trying to uncrinkle his blue and white check patterned shirt]
Man: Oh, sorry, are we recording?
*The man clears his throat*
Man: I’m Mark Serrels and I’m the CEO of Kotaku Australia (Non-Sexual) Entertainment Services. Don’t ask about the company name, someone isn’t very good at naming things. I’ve been the boss for aboot 18 months now and we’ve experienced some pretty phenomenal growth, because I like to think we work together more as family and friends.
[Shot of what appears to be an incredibly cramped staff meeting, many people crowded around a ping pong-table. Mark walks in from the side to the head of the table]
Mark: Mornin’ a’ body, ‘n’ welcome tae th’ stairt o’ a freish week!
*Unified groan from everyone in the room*
Mark: Just wanted tae say ye’r a’ bonny gallus guys ‘n’ even though ah dinnae actually ken whit we dae ‘ere, keep oan daein’ whit ye’r daein’!
*Mark struts out of the room*
Voice from the back of the room: …I’m going to be honest, I understood none of that. Also can we leave now? I think someone’s accidentally groping me or something.
Other voice from back of the room: Hah! …I mean yes, “accidentally”.
[Cut to the camera shakily following Mark as he appears to be giving a tour of the office]
Mark: And this is our logo-
*Mark points to a 12 meter long line of red and black text saying “Kotaku Australia (Non-Sexual) Entertainment Services”*
Mark: *in a lowered tone* -Seriously we have to do something about that name. *Mark resumes at a more audible level* So here we start with Jordi!
*The camera swivels to a lady sitting at the front desk, halfway in the middle of a bite of cake. She freezes in surprise*
Jordi: …
Mark: She’s our receptionist! We have a receptionist! Isn’t that all professional? What sort of things do you do Jordi?
Jordi, now free of awkward cake moments: I mostly listen to songs from the 80s and eat cakes. *pause* Oh, you mean as a receptionist! Ummm…
*awkward silence*
Mark: Isn’t she great!?
*Mark starts moving along, and the camera follows*
Mark: Here is where most of the magic happens!
*The camera pans across a large office space, with offices on the side, cubicles in the middle, and a goat roaming the corridors*
*A short man with glasses yells from the back of the office*
Man: Again, goat!? You get back here! I demand a rematch! I swear to god I will punch you if you cheat at Checkers again! STRAIGHT. TO THE. MOON!
*The man realises he’s being filmed and stares blankly at the camera for a second*
Man: Oh. Hi?
[Cut to the man sitting in his office, fiddling with his phone, most likely tweeting something]
[Lower Third flashes up on screen: Pez – Incident Manager]
Pez: I’m the Incident Manager here. Whenever there’s an issue, it’s my job to get to the root of the problem, get it sorted and see how we can prevent it in the future.
[Cuts to scene: The camera looks up at Pez and Blaghman’s faces as they stare down at something.]
Pez: Another hooker, Blaghman?
Blaghman: What? They’re not really people.
Pez: *sigh*Well, at least she’s on a rug this time. Help me roll her up and put her in the boot.
[Cuts back to Pez in his office]
Pez: I’m not going to lie, it’s a stressful job. But I’m a calm guy, so I handle these things quickly, and efficiently.
[Montage of various moments, the first being a re-roll of the scene, moments earlier]
Pez: *chasing a goat* STRAIGHT. TO THE. MOON!
[Change scene] Pez: *on the phone, covering up the microphone portion* I swear. I’m going to flip some GOD. DAMN. TABLES.
[Change scene] Pez: *peering in the fridge* DID SOMEONE STEAL MY CAKE!?
Man off camera, muffled: You mean the cakes I make and you claim without permission?
Pez: *yelling at the man off camera* SHUT YOUR FACE, PERM… FACE!
[Cuts back to Pez in his office]
Pez: Cool like a cucumber-iceberg hybrid, spliced together by our R&D/tech team. That’s me.
[New scene: A tall man stands at the kitchen contemplatively staring at a banana and a cup of tea, talking to himself]
Man: So if a banana has about 100 calories, and a cup of tea with a splash of milk has about 15 or 16, then 6 cups of tea equals a banana, but if I have the banana, I’ll be set for 3 weeks. I’m not sure the tea will last me 3 weeks. Decisions, decisions…
[Cuts to the man in his cubicle slowly eating a banana]
Man: They know me around here as Effluvium Boy, and I’m the Acquisitions Officer. Mind you, the job title actually has nothing to do with what I actually do. For the most part I-
*A man starts speaking from off camera and the camera swivels to him*
Blaghman: He mostly liaises with all the other companies we deal with and seduces the people he works with so we get the better deals. He just speaks in a really deep voice and undresses people with his dulcet tones.
*Effluvium Boy starts speaking and the camera swivels back*
Effluvium Boy: I assume that’s why you’re shirtless?
Blaghman, off camera: Correct!
[New scene: Mark leads the cameraman through a wooden floor-boarded room with cables everywhere]
Mark: This is our tech department, where the magic happens! Well, more of the magic. I don’t really think there’s a quota on magicalness. Look, Rocketman and Jo are over there! *Mark indicates to people on camera, but some distance away* Anyway, watch out you don’t trip on the cables.
Man in the background: Also watch out, I think we left the cucumberg somewhere over there!
Mark: Right where these “Slippery when wet” signs are? It’ll be fi-
*Mark suddenly disappears from the camera, and there is a loud thud noise*
*The camera looks down and captures Mark momentarily disoriented, laying in a small pool of water with a cucumber in it, but quickly scrambling to his feet*
Mark: I’M OKAY! …I’ll be back in a ‘sec.
*The camera follows Mark scurrying off somewhere, and then quickly swivelling to the tech department guys*
*They shrug*
[Scene: A 12-year old boy sits in front of a grey box with knobs and dials and a screen that looks like it came from the 1970s]
Boy: Uh, my name is Rocketman, and I’m the instrumentations guy… I think. I… mostly turn knobs and dials and… things.
*Someone speaks inaudibly off camera*
Rocketman: What!? I’m not a kid! I’m 20! And stop ruffling my hair! I’m an adult, damn you!
Rocketman: Anyway! Let me show you around the lab because Mark told me to!
*Rocketman gets up and the camera follows him. *
Rocketman: So that’s a… Wayne-Kerr machine *Rocketman tries to stifle a chuckle*… ahhhh, never gets old.
Deep voice from off camera: How old are you again?
Rocketman: Shut uuuuuupppppppp.
[New scene: Mark is randomly wandering around the office]
Mark: I’d love to show you some more, but we’re nearing the end of the day now. But we’re all such good friends that I’m sure they’ll be happy to stay back and show you wha-
*Mark is interrupted by Pez yelling at the back of the room. The camera shifts focus to the source of the yelling*
Pez: Who has two thumbs and is ready to blow this crappy joint in a non-sexual manner?
*The camera focuses in on the man*
Pez: This guy! *Pez indicates towards himself with his thumbs*
Mark: Pez! I was just saying how it’d be great if we all stayed back a little to show the crew around the office!
*Pez pauses mid-strut, and freezes in that pose for 5 seconds. He then walks over to a cubicle*
Pez: (╯ಠ_ಠ)╯︵ ┻━┻
[Cuts to scene of Pez in his office]
Pez: Cool like a cucumber-iceberg hybrid.

I am liasing with our production staff as I read this, demanding we fund this show and give it prime time placement.

I only have 1 issue with this:
I can understand what Mark is saying. Needs to be more Scottish. -

See, this is why I said to Doc What? that we needed to have you on board as part of the script writing team. YOU ARE A GEM.
-
Nice Bish.
One question though – Why isn’t Rocketman barfing on people and punching others in the face?
-
-
You gotta space this stuff out.
If you throw it all in the pilot, then you’ll have nothing for the rest of the season! -
-

‘Original’ idea spawned from a twitter conversation:
fightlikeladies
How… about… We make a company. It will be made of out of work or lazy TAYbies like me and we will make low budget movies…Bish_Mang
@fightlikeladies Make a mockumentary that depicts the everyday lives of office employees. We will call it… The Workplace. #NotGoodAtNamingBlaghman
@Bish_Mang @fightlikeladies Our company will be “Kotaku Australia Movies.” #NotGoodAtNamingNotoriousR_
@Blaghman @bish_mang @fightlikeladies We will use our real names as pseudonyms? #NotGoodAtNamingfightlikeladies
@NotoriousR_ @Blaghman @bish_mang can we have those banners at the bottom of the screen with our names and job? Like Jordi – eats cakesBlaghman
@fightlikeladies @NotoriousR_ @bish_mang Blaghman – Singer and Derperfightlikeladies
@Blaghman @NotoriousR_ @bish_mang Jordi – 6th Spice Girl yeahhhhhhhI clearly have nothing better to do with my weekends.
-
No lambo make it ok great but not ok good just great ok bad. If I were in this, I’d be the Incident Instigator, remember, the whole blame lambo thing? 😛
If this was turned into a TV show, I’d definitely watch it. I could even be the crazed, rabid, screaming fanboy if you wanted me to?
-
I approve of this ripof- I mean, localised version of The Office.
8/10. Needs more Lower Thirds. Would read again.
-
I’m just going to use them as much as I can, now that I know what they’re called.
Thanks, Caterpie!

Sweet, This week’s TAY is up. How is everyone? I hope you all had a good weekend.
REPOST FROM LAST WEEK’S TAY.
Finally finished flower. It’s a really good game.
The game started off really well and it was so much fun just cruising through the long blades of grass. The middle portion sagged a bit though and I feel like they could have done more with the night time levels. The dip in quality in the middle was redeemed by the final portion of the game however, as you’re given an expansive level to bloom more flowers considerably changing the environment around you. The early parts of the final stage of the game actually reminded me of Okami a lot.
The motion controls worked surprisingly well and the soundtrack was really great and fit the levels for the most part. Parts of the soundtrack actually reminded me of the Echochrome music.
The game was short, took me about 2.5-3hrs to complete. The short length initially put me off but I think I’ll be re-playing the game a lot so that’s fine.
Finally, the credit sequence was interesting. I like that they allowed you to play through all of it as you bloomed flowers to reveal the creators and support staff. I like Interactive credits and playing through flower’s reminded me of games like The Warriors(PS2) and Vanquish which allowed you to play through their credits.
Hello all, long time no see! How is everyone?
My weekend involved baking banana bread and craziness and going to the sutherland shire. As well as helping a friend through a breakup. I can sleeps now? No? Work you say?
It took 2hours to drive to north Sydney, from croydon park! (burwood area)
Soooooo cranky and tired now
-
Congratulations.
Your next challenge is to bake bread bananas!TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL UP IN HURRR!
-
-
HELLO G.C.!
I must say that baking banana bread is the second best way to spend your weekend.
The best way to spend a weekend is eating banana bread (toasted & with butter).

So apparently a Greyhound bus trip is in order for me to get to the monomeat. The great thing is, I haven’t had to organise anything. Pixel is feeling guilty and trying to sort it out for me 😀
I’m such a good friend.
Anyhoo, $50 return between Canberra and central station isn’t bad, especially with the hotel being 1km away from the station. Arriving at 10:30am Saturday and leaving at (I think it was) 12:30pm Sunday.
-
That’s a pretty good deal. But if I recall correctly from my Year 5 school trip, those buses are very uncomfortable to ride in.
-
-
Well, looks like I’ll be using this method when coming down the the super epic Can’d meat 2.0. I have zero faith in my car to run that long.
-
I’m sure you’ll be able to scab a lift off someone. Should be a few people here.

Oh, hello everyone
I’m a bit salty about the result of the a-league GF, if ou don’t know, a Brisbane team member took a dive in injury time, and got a penalty and won the game…
BUT THAT’S DUMB REAL LIFE SPORTS
What about a cool league, filled with, legends of sorts? I played a bit more on the weekend, however most of my time was on diablo 3, which I’m gonna pre order now….
-
-
-
I didnt see the match, but I did hear that the referee was pretty dodgy.
Still, at least the refs were consistantly dodgy for the whole finals series.also, CCMC – always minor premiers, never the GF winners… their time will come.
-
-
-
-
Still level 9, work and diablo took up most of my weekend
Also I was playing with level 30 friends, so I wasn’t matched well, and I was told to play mundo, a champ I’ve never played before, but I still think I did alright.
It’s still a bit weird going between LoL and DotA
-
Yeah I’ve only played a couple of Dota 2 games and find it weird getting used to the different pacing. I used to play a lot of original Dota, so the champs and items aren’t that foreign, but the game speed throws me off.
-
-
OK, OK, so I know i could go back and re-read the past month of TAY to answer this, but I’m going to be a total n00b: Can somebody please explain TAYbar to me?
You’re welcome to add derision to your answer, provided that you actually provide useful information.
-
-
Ohhh, I get it. Might join in one day and play games and theoretically drink. Thanks for the info, I feel far less confused by the tweets now 🙂
-
We (well, you guys that drink) did that anyway before it was a thing.
I would hair flick but my hair is kind of short. It’s almost unmoving.

HI CAKESMITH
Pain meter is 5/10 today! I’ve started taking supplements in lieu of the painkillers because the pharmacist warned me that they can be ADDICTIVE! Who would have thought hey?!
-
-
-
-
Well, they’re just saying “drinking” so I assume they’re talking about orange juice? Don’t see anything wrong with us joining in on that. 😛
-
On leavers, someone gave me some orange juice, but it sorta burned my throat when I drank it and that night I was in my underwear dancing to “sexy and I know it”. (slightly true story)
-
We have a lot in common. Scary.

I’d imagine it’s like the electric six song, but we’re all dressed as Mark Serrels rather than abe lincoln

A bunch of people late to the party drink and talk on TS. Freyr and I perfected that ages ago and I will continue to drink from 10am when I jump on TS on a Saturday/Sunday morning.

Woah….. second blind mow for the day.

I have made a new rule on myself.
Don’t post links unless i REALLY htink people will be interested… which means NO 9gag stuff anymore! 😛 -

Now I’m thinking of the Simpsons, were homer has marge watch a movie about a plane crash, and at the end the guy just yells “WE… ARE… ALIIIVE”
It wouldve been more funny if I could have found a video, but I can’t find it, NOT EVEN IN SPANISH!
-
Had an awesome weekend full of fun, frolics and very little sleep. Walked around so much on Saturday that I ended up with a massive blister on my foot… FUN!
But good stuff more than made up for it! SarcasmFairy and I went and saw The Hunger Games (in GOLD CLASS) and 21 Jump Street (Which was pretty funny) and I spent the WHOLE 4 days trying to acquire Crust Pizza and was thwarted at every single opportunity until Sunday when Flu joined us for a pizza lunch. Sadly it was a food court “Pick a slice of what we have available” Crust Pizza so I feel I missed out on the proper experience. Next time, maybe?
-
-
What is this crust pizza though speaketh of?
Is it pizza, but all crust? Because that sounds delicious!
-
Isn’t the crust meant to put hair on your chest. You would come out of eating that one like a serrals
-
-
-
-
Sorry I couldn’t say Hi at least once, friends!
What was supposed to be a small dinner blew out to a whole weekend of extended family meals.
Good times.-

Dat Grandma Bish.
I imagine she’s all ‘Bishmangolius y u no eat more?’ then keeps feeding him Tiger Balm until he cries.
Crazy grannies.
-
I know I’m replying to myself but I really don’t mind.
-
I like that both my grandmothers always tell me to eat more.
Because clearly I don’t have enough. -
Enough Grannies or enough food?
I think two is the maximum.
-
-
-
-
Hawkward.
-
Clearly she needs more Tiger Balm.

Possibly a tiger kidney.

I think she’s had…
*puts on sunglasses*
her lion’s share of it already.
…I’ll show myself out.

Good.

shut up and bake me a cake.

Forgot to add that SF and I also took in a show!
Jay and Silent Bob Get Old! Many dick jokes and sex stories from Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes.
Hey guys and gals, (w What is this a 1950s soc hop)
I have had a really productive morning, Its funny cause i cleared a backlog of stuff from a couple of weeks and seemed to have nothing to do for the next couple of days. sigh. I was in a shitty mood last night i keep on having these stupid moments before i go to sleep where i start to question my existence and why we are all here. It stops me sleeping and puts me in a state of fear. I am a messed up little kid. Anyway enough of my depressing crap how are you guys going?

Rocketman’s to-do list:
Harrass the auditor.
Call back pretty girl from last week.
Fall over.

Managed to kill my laptop charger over the weekend (months of having it in awkward positions has frayed the cord to the point that it no longer works). So I went to the nearest Apple reseller to get a replacement.
At the James St Markets.
A fancy little place in Fortitude Valley, where parking is a nightmare and the Parking Gestapo make sure that no scruffy rapscallions leave their unsightly non-European vehicles nearby. Obviously, with my shitty little Lancer, need for a haircut and lack of designer underwear, I immediately drew the attention of one of these fine fellows.
He did not particularly like the idea of me grabbing a coffee from the place right next to the markets before going to get my laptop charger but I guess he made an exception. When I got back to my car, about 15 minutes later with a coffee and a laptop charger, he was happily (well, not happily because he’s a Parking Gestapo) waiting next to my car to make sure I was an honest customer.
I hate the Valley.
Remember this: Convoluted none picture but random memory edition
For some reason this come up over the weekend and I have a game in my mind but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was called. It was an old PC platformer where when your character died you got a big message “DEVOLVING” or “DEVOLUTION” and your devolved into some sort of 4 legged pig creature.
Does anybody have any idea what that game was called
What…. the….f…..

Is this a serious song????
If so, it easily takes over from Rebecca Black for worst song ever…
There’s something i never thought i’d say… i feel so dirty..

I can’t bring myself to look it up but I would like to add:
Attack Attack – Stick Stickly to this competition.

Wow… that was so bad I actually cried a little. I didn’t even manage to watch half of it before I had to stop.
Oh yes, MLG Spring Arena 1 was on this weekend. Damned thing started way too early. Managed to catch the finals this morning, even though I woke up at 9am, that was still only in time to catch from game 3 of the Grand Finals onwards (a best of 7 that went to game 7). It’s a good thing they put VODs up fairly quickly, or I’d be slightly irritated about that.
But it was some fantastic SC2 action. The standards for tournaments these days are definitely rising.
-
-
Seems a bit silly to run that tournament up against DreamHack and MLG :p
Well done him though.
-
-
-
I’ve decided that I’m going to become the greatest Mortal Kombat player of all time and win Evo next year.
-
-
-
You guys will have to come up with your own game to become the best ever at. I’ve already called dibs on MK. The only dilemma now is what to do with all the inevitable MK groupies?
-
Brutalities of course. MK groupies love brutalities or maybe the oft rumoured sexualities

I like the Australian fatalities the best
http://staging.kotaku.com.au/2011/02/mortal-kombat-australian-edition/
And I’m not just saying that because i made that picture.
-
I remember that pic. Very funny.
-
-
-
I’m pretty sure I’ve beaten you at MK even though I thought I was your character.
YA GOT SOME WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU, SON
-
That was so awesome, for those not in the know, back at the Original Can’d meat (before it became mainstream) me and Bish had a match and it was at about the Fatality of round 2 that we figured out that we were controlling the other persons characters.
Also, i remember that the character select screen was really confusing.
-
-
I was on an epic 10 fight in row streak before that. Then i kinda forgot who i was playing as. Unrelated to this, we were drinking booze at the time.
-
I remember kicking your ass. And then ripping your spine out.
-
and then him quitting and going back to the main menu.
Fun times.
-
Mad due to stylin’
-
Very much so.
I’m pretty sure rage quits before fatalities are frowned upon in tournaments.
-
Whatever Shiggy, Once my MK order arrives I’m taking everyone to school.
-
-
I’ve just discovered a fault in my faultless plan. I don’t actually have MK yet.
I think that might be an important part of the process of becoming the best MK player ever.
-
-
I thought I was good at saying not much at all already! I guess I have to practice being succinct when doing so.
-
-
-
-
-
After a while, and with a bit of practice, you learn to express statements in exactly one hundred and forty characters. Concision is a skill
-
And I may have cheated slightly there by omitting the last full stop. Oh well, hopefully this post hits the character limit more accurately.
-
-
I am happy to have your endorsement, as I can feel that sometimes one hundred and forty characters is a hindrance to my many verbose stateme
-
-
-
-
This made me laugh as I just did my first tweet with exactly 140 characters. I left out a full stop as well.

Was there any media outcry about the sex scenes in Witcher 2?
I remember all the crap when Mass Effect came out, even though there was nothing to see, but after watching one of the, probably numerous, sex scenes in the Witcher 2, holy crap, they could have had a field day with this game, yet I don’t really remember anything except the usual nerdgasms about boobies on the various forums.
-
The Witcher 2 didn’t have the profile in America that Mass Effect had, so Fox News/media outlet of choice probably didn’t pick it up.
-
Didn’t Australia get a censored version due to sexy funtimes as a reward for quest completion. Apparently you are allowed sexy funtimes but not as a reward
-
There was one edit. It was along those lines you’ve said. The edit is that instead of a choice to accept or decline the sex as a reward, the Australian witcher just declines.
-
I don’t know about the Witcher 2, but the copy of Witcher 1 that Australians can get on Steam is the uncensored one.
-
Because that would make her a prostitute.
And we frown on that.
Except for the ACT, where all our politicians and prime minister go.
-
-
So, at work last night I happened to be sitting at the only computer without sound. I was going a little insane so I said to the other two people I was working with at the time “Can someone put some music on or i’ma have to start singing.”
Neither of them made any moves to put music on. I’m now wondering if my singing isn’t as bad as I think it is* or if I’ve just subjected these two test subjects to it so much that they’ve become desensitised.
Note: My singing talent is roughly equivalent to my drawing talent.
-
I’m sure your singing’s lovely Gorzy, so long as you promise never to demonstrate it on TeamSpeak. 😛
-
Wait, I’m sure you’ve been online when I’ve sung on teamspeak before…. Maybe you’ve repressed the memory?
Probably because the moment was so amazing you knew that nothing in you life would ever seem as awesome again.
-
-
-
-
My singing talent is roughly equivalent to my drawing talent.
I would love to see how your vocal chords handle a Man ‘O’ War.
-
So today is the day I’m going to finalise the pattern and finally get started on making the real corset \o/
Probably a good as I’ve also start knitting XD
TTTTTAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!
I have a bit of a super secret project I am about to start work on. But I have a bit of a requirement from you guys.
I need a list of all the TAYbies written out for me. If you don’t want to be left out you need to be on that list. Can anyone organize thi for me?
-
-
-
Best bet may be to grab a couple week’s TABTOL lists, and delete half of the names which are just Pez.
-
-
Because really, TAY is just one big schizophrenic conversation by me.
You think all these people are real?
-
No, I think they are communist sockpuppets.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Don’t forget your best pal Ruffles from your super secret TAY thing. I’m not on the TAYnames list.

Just because I was incredibly bored, I worked out that there was 106,578 words posted last week. Overall average of 22.42 words/post
The rest of this week is 90’s week.
You’ve been forewarned, I will be gettin’ jiggy with the slang.
-
-
Does this mean I have to go get a 90s haircut?
If so, I’m good, because I am rocking the 1890s.
-
-
Also, 90s pop songs.
I’m a Barbie girl! In the Barbie world!
Life in plastic, it’s fantastic!
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere,
Imagination, life is your creation!Come on, Barbie, let’s go party.
YOU ASKED FOR THIS

Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, calling Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones Doctor Jones get up now wake up now!

DON’T STOP NEVER GIVE UP HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH UP UNTIL YOU REACH THE TOP
LET THE WORLD SEE WHAT YOU HAVE GOT BRING IT ALL BACK TO YOU-

I hate 90s slang… NOT! It’s totally dope. Whoever doesn’t like it can talk to the hand.
Anyway, gotta bounce. Peace out.
@Trials talk on Page 1
I’m down for this :D. I remember you talking about it before Evo was released and I was waiting for it to happen. I was also thinking we could add a skill game in the mix as well, cause… why not! I’m Greenius on Xbox but so far I’ve got everyone who has posted a reply (just added Shiggy).
I’m sure most people were just focussing on unlocking tracks (like I was), or gold medalling everything before trying to get faster times so this should be interesting… but Gigatrack… *shakes fist*
-
Golding Gigatrack isn’t too hard. Managed it on my third proper attempt to do so.
But dat plat…
-
-
Dat plat…
I’ve only ever got one Plat on trials and that was on a fairly easy skill game (so it doesn’t count) 😛
-
-
-
Gigatrack is a righteous ride.
As long as you ain’t no scrub you should get a wicked fast time.

Platinum medals are the level above gold.
You need a very very quick time to get one. It’s Fatshady territory.

http://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw/latest/a/-/latest/13497077/refusing-guide-dog-gutless-nsw-minister/
This disgusts me.
The dog is an aid, it’s not just a pet. A guide dog helps give blind people their independence and it enables them to do things quicker. Does this mean they would also refuse an assistance dog? You know, the ones who grab the phone when their owner is in danger?
Just, disgusting.
-
As disgusting as it is , I somehow think it is a bit of a media beat up, surely there must of been some other forces at work. I can’t think that anyone would really tell someone their guide dog wasn’t allowed in.
-
It’s happened before. People have been told their guide dogs must be treated like other dogs on Jetstar, I think it was. That they must be held in the cargo bay which makes it very difficult for a blind person to get to the toilet. I just can’t think of a decent reason for them not to allow the dog inside.
-
I can think of several reasons why they didn’t want the dog in there. I can’t think of one that would make the owner any less of a dick though.
-
But a reason that wouldn’t make it illegal?
It is against the law to refuse someone with a guide dog entry. -
I understand that, it just really baffles me that someone would do something like that. 🙁
-
Exactly. I don’t understand it. I see people with guide dogs all the time. I go “doggy” from a distance because I don’t want to distract them from their job. It’s important. They’re completely responsible for a humans life. And they do the job without ever wanting anything in return aside from food, water and love.
I really don’t understand how anyone can lack the common sense of “Hey, a guide dog. it is exempt from normal laws.” If he does get fined maybe he’ll realise that this laws are in place for a reason. -
In relation to your first point, I was on a bus, and a guy sat down with their seeing eye dog across from me, and it took all my restraint not to reach over and pat it…
It was so cute.
-
Yeah i was told as a kid never to pat a seeing eye dog because it will send it off task and could injure the person with the doggy. WHY DO THEY MAKE THEM SO CUTE THOUGH?
-
-
-
Not necessarily. While the numbers aren’t particularly high, there’s around one reported case a month in NSW(I think it was) of someone being refused service somewhere thanks to a Guide Dog, when by all rights they shouldn’t. Many people are unaware of the laws at work, and so treat them like normal animals, when they really aren’t.
-
-
Think of it this way, just goes to show how awesome dogs are. This guy who refused it entry, if he went up to the dog, it’d probably wag it’s tail like the person hadn’t done anything wrong.
That’s why dogs are awesome. So loyal and forgiving. <3-
-
I’m going to miss my dog. 🙁 Pretty sure he’s not going to be around a lot longer. He’s 14, has a bit of arthritis that stops him moving as freely and his eyes are clouding over now 🙁 Still doesn’t look his age though. The previous golden retrievers we’ve had barely lasted 9-10 years and 14 is well above the average for the breed so we’ve been pretty lucky with him I think.
-
BATMAN SHOES and my normal brown pair. They look pretty awesome i am glad i read the instructions on the site saying buy the size one smaller because otherwise i would have looked like a clown. But now i have to buy longer white socks. Oh well still awesome.
-
-
I only used his left leg and his cape. He can still fight crime, He just needs a wooden leg and he can be pirate batman.
http://www.geekosystem.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/pirate-batman.jpg
I actually read The book where he is a pirate, the writing is not so good.
-
I thought this was a joke, but Holy Wooden Leg, there really is a Pirate Batman.
File this under What The.-
The story it is from is where batman gets caught up in the time stream and ends up in a bunch of different weird scenarios
eg Cave Batman, Pirate batman and which hunter batman, weird shit. -
Don’t forget Communist Batman. He is fight for fatherland.

Afternoon TAY. Having a positively crappy day today. One of those days you dont know if your gunna scream, cry or randomly break dance like a boss.
Either way, On the game front. I have decided i suck at Trials, but its ok, coz i still love it. Played a little cod on the weekend, but was very busy with chopping down tree’s and doing family stuff.
God i need a holiday. Why is July and comic con so far away 🙁

Dear Blood Apathy
The solution to your dilemma is of course to find a seagull in it’s death throes, poop on it and assault an elderly lady. You will feel 100% and regain your youthful vigor and enthusiasm.

I should probably wait until after I get back from the US, but I am so tempted to pick up Prototype 2 now.
Plus I still have Witcher 2 to play, but Prototype 2 looks so damn cool.

OMG i am actually watching that now, finished book 2 last night and gonna start on book 3 tonight. Honestly i can’t even remember the show being this awesome it has been like 3 years since i watched it. 🙂

Book?

Effluvium boy, the seasons are called books on the show.

They divide the series into books
Book 1 Water ect -
Rings a bell now. I know they split hey named them after the elements, just forgot they were called books.

Avatar is awesome. I’ve watched book 1-3 two times and now I’m downloading the whole series to keep on my hard drive to watch before bed. You’ll love book 3 btw.
Of course i will it is Zuko focused, i freaking love that guy

If you have a couple as neighbours then all you need is a high powered telescope and patience. No more need to waste bandwidth on crappy low res porn.

No one else seems to have mentioned Diablo yet.
I was very excited to get into the beta and I wasn’t disappointed. I forced myself to stop playing because I knew it was just spoiling my experience of the main game.
They have GOT to fix the singleplayer latency, and the concept of not being able to play because the servers was full was just really galling.
So apart from the connection problems I was very pleased.
-
-
I got to play clicky-mic-clicky-clickerson on Sunday night. Twas fun, wish I could have got on some KotakuAU party games 🙁
-
In terms of latency, I had 0 problems over the weekend, I was running at around 180ms constantly, and I only had one, very minor lag spike, which is far better than it was whenever I last tested it. I’m curious as to what you experienced.
What Blizzard did with the servers was when the weekend started they were still only running off what the beta had always had(more or less), and they’ve since upped the resources to it. This should give them a good idea about their server’s scaling, so they can make sure they can run it better from day one.
-
The best I got was around 200ms. That was fine.
But I had many periods of around 1300ms and it was really unpleasant.
Then of course, there was the constant “error 37″s.
I should add I have an excellent internet connection.But mostly this is a problem that really shouldn’t exist at all, “stress test” or not (Rocketman, that comment makes me rage so bad!). I was playing singleplayer. It is really unbelievable. I don’t mind the game authenticating me on startup and even background feeding my data to Blizzard to check I’m not a cheat but this MMO-style upload is pretty darn near unforgiveable.
If the game wasn’t otherwise so great, I wouldn’t be buying it.
I can only hope they do make it better for the main release.
-

I swear to gosh techy you and ruffleberg are brothers but where seperated at birth so that you both didn’t feed of each others hate for things. It would of been a bigger circlejerk then the comments on youtube videos.
-
It’s not really hating, not really. More or less mocking cuz of silly decisions. My above statement was more or less the predicted product of said silly decisions that’ll impact a certain segment of the playerbase, especially with how I wanted to play D3 for the first time. Solo. If I’m going to get lag while playing D3 on my own, I’d be wanting my money back if I ever bought it, which I 100% won’t now.
-
-
-
Yeah that hit me hard but I still thought – Okay I can deal with that cuz my connection is quite reliable. HOWEVER, when they do things like you can now only bind 4 keys to skills, more forced autolevelling, removal of identify scrolls (Sound familiar with changes like this?), my interest in it completely died to the point where I’m now mocking it every day.
-
-
-
I downloaded it, logged in, created a character, clicked 3 times then quit.
Decided I wanted to savour the experience for the full release.-
I played it for three hours getting my “BetaBarb” character up to level 10 and killing the level boss. It will all be lost, but I have no regrets. I also spent maybe half an hour with a monk.
-
-
Click 3 times? Just extrapolate that experience out x1000, there you have it. And, now with all the pretty colours.

The upcoming Free to play shooter Dust 514 is coming to PS3 and it’s going to connect with EVE Online. That’s a cool idea but I’m wondering what happens once the PS4 comes around. Will the numbers drop once players move to the PS4 or will the game be downloadable and allow us to re-download the game and our profile on the PS4?

Hi Harli, all the prevailing wisdom is that you’re constantly injured or you’re sick. How are you feeling?

thanks for asking though 😀

I might be looking too far ahead but I’m just curious why it’s PS3 only. The problem with consoles is that audiences are migratory and they quickly move to the next console. If they published it on PC as well you are at least guaranteed a core group of people who will be playing there for a long time. People are still playing Ultima online today for example.
I’ll try it out on PS3 when it releases, hopefully it has some longevity.-
It is indeed strange that it is not on PC.
I read a thing about it on the PA report that said they did it on a console for simplicities sake and I guess they think it will attract a bigger shooter audience?
Why do any developers focus on consoles these days? Same reasons for CCP I assume.-
Also, I don’t think it will succeed very well.
It’s main draw is it’s connection to EVE but most of the people who would care about that are PC gamers. I suspect a lot of the PS3 shooter crowd will just see some no-name FPS where skill is secondary to being buddies with some MMO player who can just nuke you from orbit.
Will still give it a go but I have my doubts.
Also I am long winded today. -
Yeah, it’s a curious game. Let’s wait and see.

Man, my mate is renting a 3 bedroom house in Berwick for like $280 a week. And it’s a bloody nice house. $280 a week where I live will get you a cardboard box and maybe last weeks newspaper if you’re lucky.

I saw a 3 bedroom house in Strathfield for like…$350. That’s good for Sydney.
-
I know nothing about Sydney (as in what suburbs to avoid etc) which makes looking for jobs a bit annoying. I did apply for a job as the games manager at the Bondi JB last night though \o/

Exciting! Could we all make use of your staff discount though? 😀
I’m not really good with suburbs either. Lived in the same once since I was 4 but I’m always on real estate sites because I’m so desperate to move out!

Weekend gaming: Played some more of Disgaea 3 on Vita. Was up super late friday night playing it actually. Lost track of time. I love Disgaea. The whole combat system is built with deliberate bugs and things which in most cases would be exploitable oversights but in Disgaea’s case are all part of the design. So clever.
I also played about eight hours of TERA Online and I’m quite liking it. It still feels a bit underdone and pretty niche. And the costuming (or lack thereof) makes me feel mildly uncomfortable at times. But the combat is a lot more engaging than most other MMOs I’ve played and I thoroughly enjoyed my time so far (got to level 17, playing as a priest. Will probably roll a second character once the head start begins and they up the cap).
-
Is TERA super grindy? I sort of want to try it out because of the combat system but my time playing Aion has turned me off trying out Korean MMOs.
-
I have not done any real grinding at all. Just following the quests. The combat itself is fun enough that a bit of grind would probably not matter either.
-
A few years ago Bobby Kotick suggested selling Blizzard cinematics as DVDs and at the time there was a lot of furore. Thinking about it after reading this article http://staging.kotaku.com.au/2012/04/the-uncharted-trilogy-edited-into-feature-length-films/#comments and watching a few minutes of the videos I realised it would be pretty cool to have the gameplay and cinematics of a game stitched together into a film.
If officially done I’m sure the developers could remove the HUD from the gameplay sequences and make it worth the asking price with behind the scenes features etc. I think $5-$10 for a downloadable movie on PSN seems reasonable to me. Even better if developers could do this for free and have it as an unlockable once you finish the game.
What do you guys think? Would you like a ‘game film’ to watch in your free time or watch in on the train or when travelling.
-
I love game films. I have at least twenty at home.
the ones that get the biggest beating are the MGS games, but i also have a bunch of final fantasy games, and it’s the only way i’ve ever experienced heavy rain.
http://videogamesheaven.net/ is a good source.
-
Wow, I have never heard of videogamesheaven.net. It seems like a good idea for a site especially if you’ve already played the game or you have no interest in the game but want to participate in story discussions.
I’ll peruse the site and maybe I might watch a few of the films I’m interested in. Their selection does seem limited though.
-
-
I don’t think game stories are good enough to be watched as movies tbh.
With the example of Uncharted; maybe if they created new cinematics that summarised the shooting and running around that comprises the actual gameplay it might be watchable but the gameplay would be way too long and boring as is.
Even then it would only serve as a summary for someone who did not wish to play through the first one but wanted to know the story before playing the second for example. But watched for pure entertainment? Not sure how well it would stack up.-
You have to be prepared to watch it differently from the way you would approach a film or tv show. It can be quite engaging. Heavy Rain especially is great to just watch (but that’s obvious). Truncated gameplay is a must though, with just the minimum required to bridge cutscenes.
-
It would definitely depend on the game but while I have not played it, Heavy Rain sounds like a bunch of cut-scenes stitched together with quicktime events anyway.
For most games it sounds like not so much a “movie of the game” but that “cinematic difficulty” (or something) that some journalist suggested that would skip all the gameplay for people who do not have the time/inclination to actually play the game.
The merits of this is up for debate (entirely missing the point of a game imo) but if it was done it would indeed be better if it was sold digitally for $10 rather than a mode in a $60 game.

Xenosaga Episode II came with a DVD that was basically all the cutscenes from Xenosaga 1.

Hey Guys!
Man, this exercise thing is hard. I went out riding my pushbike in the rain today and the tire s were really worn!

I seem to perpetually have trouble with USB HDD caddies for accessing old IDE/PATA (40pin connector) HDDs.
I think the two (?) I’ve bought over the years ended up throwing mutinous fits and OMNOMNOMing and killing the drives they contained at the time.
Does anyone else have this sort of thing happen to them, or have I just had a bad run of luck? Currently trying to get data from an old drive, and it would be very very bad if the drive got eaten.
I don’t think I’ve had any issues at all with SATA caddies.

Platinum is the medal above gold (which has been said) but you’ll unlock them when you unlock EXTREME tracks. If you have any platinum worthy times/scores they’ll automatically update. I think you were just behind me on the Splosion’ man level (which is Platinum worthy) so even though it shows gold now as soon as you unlock Platinum medals you’ll unlock it 😀
Speaking of which…

Why don’t developers make decent ‘previously on’ features for long running series’ ? It’s sometimes really hard to get into a new game that is 2-3 games long when you can’t understand what is going on.
Reading a wiki or perusing videos online is an option but I’d prefer a decent cinematic that explains everything.
Also I would love a site that has decent summaries of game plots for long running series’ before a sequel is released especially for series’ that have multimedia off shoots as well. If anyone knows of a YouTube channel that does this let me know.
For example I really want to get into Assassins creed but all the Console games, DS Games, PSP games, Iphone games, comics, YouTube miniseries all claim to have various snippets of the story and for a new fan that can be pretty daunting.
Has anyone here bought the Assassins creed encyclopaedia? http://store.ubiworkshop.com/assassins-creed-encyclopedia-white-edition/
Was it comprehensive and easy to read?
Thanks.
-
Yakuza 4 ha this feature but it was a 2 hour slog to get through it all. At least it felt like a slog. So much exposition.
-
-
That problem is easy to solve, don’t get Assassin’s Creed. Don’t believe the critics, the games are awful.
-
-
-
-
AC2 isn’t terrible, you just didn’t didn’t like it. Big difference there.
You’re well within your rights to dislike the game, but just labelling it ‘terrible’ without any reasons as to why the game didn’t work for you is not very helpful. -
Ok, i’ll write something as to why i thought the game missed the mark.
-
-
-
i have not read any encyclopedia and have only played the Sexbox games (excluding AssRev) but have no issues understanding what’s going on… i don’t feel as though i’ve missed out on not playing the handheld games at all, nor watching the Youtube series…
Just start with picking up number 1, get bored with it, then get number 2 and realise they’re pretty great games
-
-
one wasn’t bad… it was a good proof of concept that just got boring and repetitive, i did quite enjoy the story though, but yeah, a bit grindy…
2 had better mechanics and overall a more satisfying experience… i think half the enjoyment is figuring out the mysteries in that game though, unveiling all the secrets…-
I guess I’ll just play the main console releases. I have AC 1 and I think it’s OK. I admit it is a bit repetitive though.
-
yes, yes it is… but prevail my friend, because AC2 is where it is at…. i was surprised how much more polished it was when i first played it… 9 months ago 😛
-
The Ferret Viking tells truth. Short (non-exhaustive) list of why AC2 is the best. AC. ever.
1) Ezio had swimming lessons as a kid. This means water is not insta-die.
2) There are zero (0) tower defence sections.
3) It’s spread out geographically, which is maybe only something that appeals to me, but this is my list, so nyaah.Single annoying thing that comes to mind about AC2:
The way they decided to do the DLC stuff. I hope there’s just an AC2: Complete edition released by now?
-
Main downside: Ezio is a twat, and has absolutely no character development throughout the entirety of his series.
-
But there is…
-
Kinda
-
-
You left out the touching scenes he had with Leonardo in 2! YOU DIDNT HUG HIM DIDNT YOU, YOU COMMUNIST.
-
-
AC2 was awesome.
Brotherhood and Revelations were also very good, but were iterations of 2, rather than the massive leap forward that 2 had over 1.
I’m hoping that AC3 is to AC2 as AC2 was to AC. That would be amazing.
More importantly, why can’t they show a quick 30 second ‘previously on’ on demand when you load up a save game? I often put games aside then can’t go back to them because I forget what’s going on and don’t want to start over. One of the many reasons my Pile of Shame is so large.
-
Resident Evil Revelations (3DS) is sectioned like a show into roughly one-hour chunks, and has ‘previously on’ cutscenes between them. And when you load the save, IIRC.
-
Alan Wake does it too, and quite well. But what would be even cooler is if it was something dynamic based off what you did, rather than something canned for each segment of their game.
-
Every time you load a save in Driver San Francisco the game gives you some highlights of the story so far. I really love that about the game.
-
-
-
In far cry 2 the loading screens summarised what just happened and what you were supposed to do next. That was good.
-
Shame they didn’t put the same level of effort into remembering that you’d cleared that enemy camp out ten minutes ago. :\
-
Ha! I loved Far Cry 2 but the respawning enemies were really frustrating.
-
I hated Far Cry 2 because I kept getting killed by enemies who shouldn’t be there. I felt like I could never make any impact at all on the world, was prevented from exploring or anything, and was constantly bogged down in the minutiae, clearing out checkpoints and other unfun repetitive stuff, and not actually advancing.
-
I really hope they improve on all these issue in Far Cry 3. Also SHARKS!!!
-
-
I have a copy of the Encyclopedia that came with Revelations. It is awesome, and covers all four games rather well. I’ve completely ignored any AC games that aren’t 1,2,bro,rev, and I’ve got a pretty good handle on the story.
-
I think I’ll get the second edition of the encyclopaedia that has AC 3 content as well. It should make a great coffee table book.

I’ve been reading about Roman architecture for over 2 hours now. It’s pretty interesting stuff.
-
-
-
-
I was reading about how houses were designed. Which was super important because rather than just showing off their status it could actually generate it and push them up the social ladder.
-
There was a show on recently about Roman architecture, where a group of British brickies/builders were contracted by a history prof. to build a Roman villa using authentic Roman materials and building methods. Was absolutely amazing to watch the whole process and see the end result.

Pet peeve: people who declare that JRPGs (or any other kind) are not ‘true’ RPGs. Makes me very angry. Especially when they hold up D&D (which was originally a tabletop wargame with some stats added) as the ‘true’ experience.
Why is it so hard for people to understand that different people might like different things and maybe there could be stuff made to cater for those interests instead of theirs? :\
-
JRPG’s are not true RPGs?
What a dumbass statement, that’s like someone declaring that any RPG that doesn’t involve a table and a 12 sided die is not a true RPG.There are no ‘True’ RPGs, there are all different types that are equally valid. Western RPGs, JRPGs, Turn Based, Story Based, Table Top.

So i spent 3 hours of my work day in the dark. Thankyou mother nature. not only did you let me get paid for doing nothing, the lack of power meant i had 3 blissful hours without hearing nicki minaj on the radio
Is anyone else not seeing the reply button for some posts on TAY?
This is weird.
Anyway reply to Powalen: The odd couple is quaint but I was thinking more of Die Hard with a vengeance. We don’t fit the profile but who doesn’t want to be Samuel L Jackson and Bruce Willis.

Awesome. As long as nobody tries to blow up the train. If that fails, we can fall back on a Pulp Fiction cop pairing.
I’m going to need to rewatch these movies now… xD

For the Sydney guys going to the Meat this weekend, do any of you know about the Metagame or have a deck?

Dear Scree
When boredom sets in it indicates a lack of thrills in your life. My recommendation is to go into your nearest CBD dressed as a giant turtle, pants the nearest cop and throw mildly spiced gherkins at buskers.

Okay guys making sure that you don’t forgettttt – so far in total there is 4 (possible 5) who will come so it will be an intimate candlelit dinner.
I’ve added 6pm as the start time, let me know if you will be coming later – however the sooner we arrive, the sooner we can be seated so we will be meeting at the restaurant. I will be arriving there as soon as I can but text me when you arrive and I will let you know whether a name has already been put down yet. If not, congratulations, you will be helping us put the name down.

So I finally decided to give Trials Evolution a go after hearing such wonderful things about from a lot of you wonderful people. I downloaded the trial version HD when it came out a few years back, and boy did I suck, so I decided against purchasing it (to be fair I never really gave it good go, I was distracted by a couple of other games at the time). Anyway I gave Evolution a go… and dammit after 15 minutes I bought it and am getting addicted :). I still suck quite hard, but I am having a blast at the same time.
So if you’re average at this game and want someone on your leaderboards to make you feel good feel free to add me (and if you’re great at this game feel free to add me and shake your head in disgust at my times :P).

Heya!
FatShady’s original Trials HD riddle article was what originally got me interested in the game. I too sucked at Trials HD but I also didn’t have anyone on my leaderboards. As soon as I had people on my leaderboards I had the motivation to beat them and strive for better times 😀
Just added you (I’m Greenius)

XBL is being a bit weird for me, so I saw the message saying that you’ve sent a request… I just can’t see the message to accept it. I’ll accept next time things are working for me :p
Trying to get gold medals is a pain in the rectal cavity with XBL playing up. Such a pain. Nearly unplayable actually. Need a decent net connection to not make finishing races a complete agony.

LAID on ABC is pretty good. The only thing that irritates me is the opening theme song. The singer’s voice is too rough, making the title lack the ‘kooky’ feeling the show has. Good thing it’s short.

hey Freeze, see that cop car?

good.burn it.

Dear Freeze.
The solution to this problem is simple. Start doing stuff. Being stupid is always a good way to pass the time. So is molesting a bull.

OK, ok, TAY. TAY. TAYbies, TAYberinos. Friends, Romans, TAYbians.
Why do I keep trying to do digital art stuff? Seriously. I am a terrible artist, and yet, I keep giving myself projects, despite the fact that until last week I hadn’t done anything artistic for five years. Help me friends, why can’t I just game like a normal person?
-
-
-
-
It’s more like this: http://i.imgur.com/tnLZp.jpg
(Rather rushed)
-
That’s….actually kind of cool. Would make a pretty sweet tee.
-
Your comment made me think of this for some odd reason…
-
-
-
if Doctor Who has taught me anything, its that Van Gogh thought he was a terrible artist too.
Him & everyone he knew!
but well all know how that story ended – he died insane & alone & decades later, some decided that he wasnt actually that bad & now his works are worth millions!
so yeah… you’ve got that to look forward to.
-
I loved that episode!
Anyway… doesn’t matter if you’re enjoying the digital art stuff, right? I’m terrible at tennis but I still have fun playing. xD
I like to draw! But I’m never really any good and I have very little patience and give up because I lack skillz. I think the most fun out of art is doing art with people who enjoy it. Anyone can be an artist and how you enjoy art is completely up to you!
-
Start with basic shapes, then work your way up from there.
Also, find something that interests you, and look for a how to draw thing for it.
That’s how I did it, and my drawing skills have improved slightly.
This is coming from someone who until two years ago, couldn’t draw anything other than stick figures.-
I still struggle with anything that isn’t stick figures, and I’m terrible at perspective, and form. It’s pretty bad.

No, we don’t want that trust me D=
Possibly worse than smelly backpackers!

What are you going to do in this scenario?
Take photos for blackmail material
So I’m playing LA Noire, seems pretty good so far. Interrogations take a bit of getting used to.
-
Ah LA Noire – everything unfun in being a cop PUT IN ONE. I’m surprised there wasnt a paperwork stage.
Otherwise there was a lot of fun when I just read Cole as a sexually confused man who cheated in order to hide his secret wish to bone Kelso.
What?
-
I made Cole a trigger happy loose cannon that destroyed thousands of dollars worth of property just driving from station to initial crime scene.
-
I had a coworker who plays GTA just to get the secret cop outfit and goes around the streets helping people. I don’t think he had played LA Noire then.
But hitting and crashing people? Yeahhhhh.
I was driving home one day and wondered if I could just turn on my siren and skip traffic.
-
-
-
-
-
Glad you are finding some enjoyment in it. It’s a very hit or miss game. 😛 I really hope Rockstar makes a sequel to fix all of the little faults.
-
I haven’t played it yet (needs a better pc so yay this thursday hopefully!) but it’s by Rockstar so by default I am going to enjoy it xD
Well not by Rockstar, since they only published it, but you get what I mean!
-
-
Yeah, that’s how it was for me. Not too bad and seemed alright at the start. About a few hours in it started to get really annoying and really repetitive and there was soooo many little things that just annoyed me. I tried to push on and finish it but I couldn’t bring myself to do it…
But looking forward to the rest of your thoughts :D. Like Powalen said, it’s a hit or miss.

Nasty & expensive?
But comic con I am jealous good sir!

Can you sneak us all in in your suitcase? 😀

I dunno, I have heard you have pretty big jugs & stuf D=

My DC:UO character does. Mine are modest in comparison.

She has killer funbags though (and so does Bish with his supposedly sickness inducing ones)
JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGSSSSSSSSYYYYYYYY MMMCCCCCCCCCMMMMMOOOOOOLLLOOOONNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSS

It’s true. We fondled Bish’s funbags. It was most enjoyable.

Well I am jealous, fondling Bish’s funs bags and all!

Is that the one with the midget?

He’s dead now 🙁

But if we’re EastEnders, a pub is a primary setting for many of our zany adventures. Someone even gets murdered in there.
The mystery is…who?

Bags not it!

Bags not it!

Sorry, since you double-bags’d it, it invalidates your claim.

Just throwing this out there. How about… you buy a 360 and then send it to me? I can tell you if Trials is worth playing or not. 😀
Sounds like a good plan to me.
-
-
-
Send you to Virus? I could. Postage might be a bit though.
-
D= why am I being pimped out or something?
-
-
-
Last time I checked there was a 4GB preowned slim at EB for like $168.
Also last time I checked Dick Smith had their 30% off thingy and Microsoft had 20% cash back on accessories. So you could get a 320GB HD with Lego Star wars for $75 or so.
That’s probably all over by now though 😛
TAYbies in the Geelong region, where could I find a cheap wooden tv tray table for use as a wheel stand for my Driving Force GT?
-
Go to Reject Shop, Sams Warehouse or whatever you have down there and buy a cheapo TV unit. Sounds stupid? Here’s mine
http://www.flickr.com/photos/62480489@N03/7105932865Works amazingly well plus it’s in wheels so easily push it into the corner when not in use.

I used one of those folding table tray things for a bit but this was way more stable and far more comfortable.

@Trjn
Oh yeah! It’s so much better with online play (seeing the dots, having scores recorded) and having it disconnect can be super annoying… it happened to me the other day and it just hangs on “SAVING”
forever…
-
I turned off the dots but damn did it get irritating when it got stuck on save.
At first I thought it was just Trials, but then I tried playing some Skate 3 and it had issues connecting as well. XBL dropped out two or three times for me last night. Not sure exactly why but I might have to play about with the router tonight.
Ah i’m re-watching Web Zeroes, so awesome. I wish that the guys who created it were able to do more seasons, but you get that =(
“I’ll just play through Mass Effect 2 quickly and get a save for 3. Shouldn’t take long” I said.
45 hours later I’ve finished.
D’oh.
Still, I don’t really regret it. Now everything is fresh again.
Wow i stayed up way to late last night, Stupid Avatar being so good, Its hard just to watch one episode. At that point it was 10.30 and i was all like man i havent watched Game of Thrones yet. I am glad i did though, We are now up to the part where i haven’t read it in the book yet. But seriously i feel bad for the actor who plays joffery, i am sure he is probably a decent dude but if people see him IRL, they will be immidiately want to punch him in the face. He is seriously the most evil villian ever.He does such a good job at toeing the line between Brat and coward.
I watched episode 3 of Legend of Korra yesterday. Man it was really good. Possibly the best epp so far.
-
I love how there isn’t any filler and its like wham bam thank you mam. For those of you who haven’t watched it, do your self a favour and get the 720p Version. The quality is just unbelievably high and you can tell the artists are showing off what they can do. Those fight scenes are also a visual treat. I Think its gonna be a good series. 🙂
-
You’re adults watching a kids cartoon?
NNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSD.
I only watch the hardest of hardcore porn and only while covered by Swedish supermodels.

Such a great show. They’re doing two half seasons but because they didn’t expect the second one, the first is definitely going to be high paced.
They did a great job establishing Amon. The charismatic “resistance” leader. Can’t wait to see what else they have in store for him.
Even better, Young Justice season 2 starts next week! After having to wait weeks between episodes of season 1, they went straight to season 2. I wholeheartedly approve.
-
Really digging the new Avatar. The only problem is that they are released so slow – I watched the original series in one big marathon, and they are so good you just want to keep watching more.
My only disappointment so far is that we are yet to see the “MY CABBAGES” guy, but he (or a descendent) might be included later on.
-
It’s once a week. Fairly standard for a TV show :p
I got into the original towards the end of season 3, which worked out perfectly for marathoning. It’s just a brilliant show in general.
As for the cabbage merchant, he went on to become an entrepreneur. Those sato mobiles (or cars for them what want to be fancy)? Some of them are cabbage mobiles, the equivalent of Model T Fords. There’s a lot of lore stuff up on the official page for the series.
Something that kind of bugs me is that almost everyone who bends knows the crazy advanced techniques from the original show. It kind of makes sense that they were new techniques that were only just being discovered by the most powerful benders. Now that some time has passed they’ve worked out how to pass them on to the less skilled. Yet it makes the Fire Lord and Azula seem a lot weaker when you consider that every firebender seems to be able to shoot lightning these days.
-
Yeah I felt that it was a bit odd when all of those regular civilian benders were working at the power plant, shooting lightning. Lightning was a sign of awesomeness. I do like however that only the police force can use metal-bending, as they were established by Toff and therefore would have been taught by her.
-
When they showed the cops metal-bending, I figured that meant that they only hired the elite. That’s somewhat diminished now because they haven’t shown that it’s exclusive to the cops. They’re just the only ones we’ve seen use it so far.
The weird thing is that pro-benders fatigue crazily quick. That doesn’t seem to go well with how powerful everyone is now.
Also, it’s Toph :p
-
I think Pro-bending could be better. The competition is not that ‘bendy’ in my opinion. I hope they improve on it in some way or make it more physical.

People that need to be shot #221
Pull into a servo with your diesel ute, only one other person there, happily filling their car with unleaded. In front of the diesel pump. Seriously? Couldn’t grab any of the other 8 pumps?

-

Eugh I know! Also the people who hog the back pump instead of using the front lot and don’t move their vehicle for the person behind them when they go to pay so the person behind them can get to the only diesel pump.

MORNING TAYBIES.
I started on Gigatrack last night. Got down to about 6 faults and just under 9 minutes to finish the track.
I will have a gold medal in the next two days. I hope you enjoy your leaderboard times while they last 😀
Then I’m going after Fatshady.
-
Best of luck.
I’m not even going to bother yet. Going to try tackling the other, much easier, stages for now. Gigatrack is too much Trials for me. I’m simply not man enough.

Man with a nonexistent gigatrack time says whaaaaaaaaaaat?

it is…. followed by “SURPRISE!!!”
-
Actually, it’s followed by *ziiiiiiiiiip* and THEN ‘SURPRISE!’
But you were close.
-
aaah, i thought the *ziiiiiiiiiiiip* pre-empted the “And who is right behind you”…
well don’t i look like a goose now ^.^ -
Sometimes they start running so this way is easier – if they do a runner I don’t get caught with my tackle out in a crowded supermarket.
Not that such a thing has ever happened… >.>

nice work man.
I haven’t had much time at all with trials evo just yet.. 🙁
Can’t wait to see this gigatrack, though 😛
MORNING ALL!
So I played some more Resident Evil: ORC. I honestly wish I hadn’t bothered buying it, but it’s too late now.
I keep saying I’m done with Capcom, then I fall for another of their traps. I hadn’t been paying attention and didn’t realise I was only buying half a game. Should have waited for a collected edition.
-
-
I played it at the Capcom event and i just assumed i was playing some early Beta. Turns out i was playing the full game 🙁
-
Not quite the full game as half is being held for ransom on the PSN.
On the plus side, at least you can run and gun.
-
Unfortunately cutting out content to sell later has become a bit of a forte for Capcom. The good news is that people are finally starting to wise up and not buying these games. I personally don’t buy any game that has DLC already on the disc and just sells me a code. Capcom seem to almost rub it in our face with their character select screen in SFxT
-
-
-
-
-
Looks like I’ll have to do some hardware rearrangement on my PC tomorrow, my graphics card looks like it’s having fan issues being at the bottom of the case. Hopefully my hard drives can be properly shifted around. Anytime I play a game now I hear a loud rattling, worst when I play HD Morrowind, not good.
-
-
I built him, if anything I blame myself, he needs surgery from complications due to another operation I did on him 🙁
-
-
Jet Engines are how you know things are working.
You don’t want to be all “This is so silent I don’t even know if this is on /o\” and accidentally push the power button again or something. -
-
Its funny i can play most modern games at a steady frame rate on high settings and i barely hear my PC fan. Boot minecraft and open a world WHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Seriously it sounds like a plane taking off.
-
I have a similar thing happen with World of Warcraft. Battlefield 3 maxed out. Nothing. World of Warcraft login screen, computer tries to blast off in to space.
-
Mornin’ TAY!
Running off a tethered phone this morning cause I’m trying to fix the WAN link of the site I’m at. By “trying to fix” I mean “hitting the router with a laptop in the hopes it makes it work”.
So, what has everyone got planned for tonight/tomorrow with the day off? I plan to get ready for the meat and RDR/Trials like crazy.
-
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
I will be playing the shit out of gigatrack. It if my week’s mission.
-
bee is having friends stay over tonight, so i doubt i’ll get to play much of any trials 🙁
I’ll probably be getting a start on my next bloody assignment… -
-
-
-
I only played a little of it during my trial but I’m commiting this time. It’s pretty crazy how in-depth it is. As I said on TS last night, if there’s going to be one thing that becomes a real-life Matrix it will be EVE.
Pyrean and Gorzy have a heaps of experience with it.
-
I’ve always been tempted to give EVE a go, as it looks pretty awesome, but I’m still not a fan of subscriptions.
-
I played EVE once for 15 minutes. A friend of a friend was showing off his new ship, which was apparently pretty good. He gave me a go in some friendly territory just flying around and seeing what it looked like. He went to get more beers, and somehow I warped/traveled to another area where pvp was on. His ship, which apparently he had spent $100 and many hours on was destroyed. I thought it was hilarious, till he said that ships don’t just resurrect. He hasn’t talked to me since. :/
-
I played a bit with the trial. I do like the game, I think it’s different and interesting and in depth. But it’s not overly “exciting” and takes A LOT of time. I think it will very quickly become a chore.
The controls take a lot of getting used too as well. It’s not very intuitive to being with.
-
-
-
-
-
Yeah, the scope is awesome but how they managed to make space combat and exploration that dull I will never know.

Space exploration IS boring though?
-
Each to their own, I just did not enjoy it in the long term.
-
-
Watch the following:
Tonight:
6:00pm – Captain America
8:30pm – Iron Man
Tomorrow:
12:00pm – Incredible Hulk
2:30pm – Iron Man 2
5:00pm – Thor
9:30pm – The Avengers
-
That seems like a good plan, I might go out and get the bluray movies and watch them with my grandad tomorrow. Of course the footy is on so we will have to watch that first. But Seems like a fun plan 🙂
-
Some quick research last night said that this would be the chronological order to watch them in. I’m rather looking forward to it.
-
I will be furiously trying to finish my assignments so that I have the weekend off for monomeat! Not a very exciting day off, but you didn’t say it had to be! 😀
I see there is still problems with TAY not showing some comments until you’re “signed in”, or so to say…
Hey I’m having a few issues with my computer.
When I turn it on, sometimes it’ll just restart itself with no warning.
It then says windows didn’t start properly. That’s all I got.
-
-
-
ALWAYS FIXES ALL PROBLEMS. But really, don’t just do that as it’s potentially avoiding hardware issues that will just reappear.
-
-
-
-
It’s confusing as it doesn’t happen every time.
I just tried to de fragment the disc. Disc de fragment won’t even open.
Now I’m a little concerned.
-
-
-
If you get presented with the menu offering safe mode etc, after it fails, see if there’s an option called ‘diasble restart on system failure’ and choose that. If it’s restarting without warning, it’s likely blue screening and restarting, but doing so quick you won’t even see it.
Selecting that option will stop the system rebooting if it is encountering a blue screen of death, and at least let you see the issue.
Look for a mention of a file name down near the bottom, like something.sys or something.dll, and this could indicate a driver causing the issue. Also, look for a line in upper case up the top which will be words seperated with underscores like IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, etc etc.
Either one of these could help you pinpoint the issue, but won’t help if you can’t get it started in safe mode to remove/disable what’s causing the problem.
Alternatively, formatting fixes everything, but is the lazy man’s way out.
=D
-
Have a wander through the event viewer.
Install nirsoft bluescreenview and see if there are any bluescreens causing this.
Failing that, it’s most likely hardware. Perhaps the PSU or Mobo.

‘As he was undressing, the man put the weapon down, which the child then grabbed and fired at him from close range.’
I blame the idiot for putting the gun down where the child could reach it.
-
-
-
-
-
I blame negligent behaviour on the father’s behalf and a spoiled little turd with a lack of understanding regarding the permanence of death.
-
-
but dem vidya gaems wernt involved. In fact, that was the problem.
if anything, playing games would’ve resulted in the guy not being killed.not blaming anyone. would’ve been preventable had the guy not left the gun within the kids reach.
just sad.-
I haven’t actually read the article yet…
-
wouldnt bother. its 3 short paragraphs that say – kid wanted playstation, dad didnt buy one, kid found dads gun & shot him.
-
-
-
Yo smart TAYbies. You may recall i was waiting to get paid to start building my new PC. Well i got paid and I’m gonna start doing it! Anyway, this is what I’m building based on everyone’s recommendations
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/dalziel_86/Rufflebuild2.png
Apparently the i7 is a better idea than the i5. Also, should i go for more RAM?
-
i7 is better than i5, but generally speaking isn’t necessary/not worth the price difference. A Sandy (2nd gen) i5-2500K works pretty bloody well at stock, and can be overclocked well without too much trouble. That cooler should be adequate for some average overclocking.
Rest of it looks pretty good to me!
-
-
8Gbs of ram is plenty, The green Hardrives are terrible though they are VERY prone to failure. I would probably go for a different HDD and do you really need 128gb solid state, I only use mine for operating system and use my 2gb Drive for everything else. You won’t really notice the change it has on games either.
-
I still honestly believe SSD’s are more trouble than they’re worth. Just fork out and get a good 2TB SATA drive. SSD’s barely make any noticeable difference on a modern mid to high-end system, and all they do is place constraints and limitations on where and how you store your data. Also, limited life span and excessive cost – I don’t dig it.
I disagree with WD Greens being prone to failure though – I’ve installed and sold a bunch of them in the last couple of years, and had not one failure I was aware of. They are slower than standard drives however, something along the lines of 5700rpm from memory. That’s why they’re green, they save power that way.
-
I am only going off past experience as you have said you actually do work with computers and I do not so I am more inclined to think you are right but a few friends of mine decided to use the green drives and they lasted like 6 months.
-
Yeah it’s just people’s experience I guess – I might’ve just been really lucky, maybe they were just really unlucky? Hard to gauage what’s commonplace and what’s not really.
-
-
They make a huge difference to boot and load times.
Agree on the WD Green drives too, I’ve got dozens and haven’t had any fail. Seagate’s green drives are shit though.
-
I’ve had 2 WD Green Drives fail in under 12 months.
-
-
I am actually regretting getting my solid state. It was pretty expensive and noit that noticable of a difference. 10 second boot time is pretty cool though
-
The change from a 7200rpm drive to a SSD for me made a MASSIVE difference to game load times (as well as the noticable difference to system boot times).
I don’t know what config you must be using if you’ve not had any changes from using a SSD.
-
It’s more an issue of whether the cost and inherent storage limitations of an SSD (ie, having to monitor where things are installed, to which drive, etc) are worth the performance increase. SSD’s definitely make a difference, I just don’t think they make enough of a difference. Apart from boot times, I’ve rarely seen any difference in anything loading, games or otherwise that’s more than a few seconds quicker here and there. I think SSD’s are a bit of a ‘Whoa, I got an SSD! Check this shit out!’ for a lot of people.
But, that’s just my opnion – I know plenty of people that are more than happy with them. At the end of the day, Ruffleberg can buy whatever he wants, I guess!
-
Can’t argue with that, SSD bang for buck is certainly beyond a joke at present.
-
Yeah, cost is the only reason I haven’t chucked an SSD in mine yet. Still, my config works well:
1TB OS Drive – Windows 7, Microsoft Office, other random utilities.
2TB Steam/Origin Drive
2TB TV Shows drive
1TB TV Shows drive
2TB Movies drive
1TB drive – 500GB music partition/500GB games partitionAnd then there’s the externals 😛
-
If they were a lot cheaper, or bigger I’d be more inclined to go for one. With the way memory is headed these days, hopefully we won’t have to wait too much longer!
-
I use an SSD just for the Windows install.
It’s a low end 60gb SSD just for windows and random crap
so my comp looks like this
60GB SSD – Windows 7, Office etc..
1TB WD Black for all my programs and games, steam, solidworks, photoshop etc etc.
2TB Green for Photos and Moview
2TB Green for TV Shows
500GB HD which used to me my old HD. I don’t really use it but it’s thereAs for your list Ruffleberg, I would get a slightly larger PSU. Not a big issue now but for $30 more you’ll have enough power to run dual GFX cards or multiple hard drives if you ever want to in the future.
As for the hard drives, I wouldn’t bother running programs off an SSD, the only improvement you’ll get is slightly quicker load times. The WD Black drives are fast enough for that and you get far more storage. If you can avoid it, use the Green drives only for file storage, photos, videos, music etc.
-
-
-
Drop the 2TB green drive and get a 2TB 7200rpm drive. I’ve also had nothing but bad experiences with WD drives.
Increase PSU to a 650w minimum.
4GB of RAM is plenty for gaming. You won’t need more unless you are using RAM intense programs like video rendering software, audio software etc.
I’m also not a fan of Asus Mobos but that’s just personal preference.
i7 on paper is better than i5. Most games however are not optimised to use the full capabilities of an i7 CPU.
Only bother with the 3rd party CPU fan if you are going to OC.
-
-
I remember you giving me another list, but i can’t find the picture, was it in last weeks TAY or the one before that?
-
Ditch the Crucial SSD for the Intel 330. Cheaper, more reliable and with a better warranty. Use the $20 saved to upgrade that PSU to the modular version so you don’t have a mess of cables all through the system.
8gb RAM is fine. i7 isn’t worth it.
-
Actually ideally I’d get a bigger, higher-end PSU. Seasonic or similar, something with 80Plus Gold certification, at least 600W. Gives you more room to fiddle with components later.
I probably should have mentioned that i also plan to record gameplay. Probably not in HD, but maybe.
-
If you’re going with FRAPS then just make sure you have a 1TB 7200rpm drive (that WON’T be saving on the same drive as that of the game you’re playing).
-
-
You want to record 20 minutes well that’s a nice 12 gig you have there it would be a shame if i were to use it all.
-
A lot more than that in HD, rocket. I use approx. 4GB for 20 seconds of FRAPS footage.

Hey Jordi, just reposting from my reply on the meat, I haven’t got a twitter, you can reach me on sdcdragonman[at]hotmail[dot]com

Thanks, I’ll be sending out a message with my deets tomorrow (since I’m lazy). /o/ food yeaaahhh

I don’t know why but when someone suggests ‘throw it out the window’ for PC problems I always laugh or at least smile.
I also smile when someone suggests ‘touching her shoulder’ in a relationship thread.
-
I’m the backup IT guy at my work (as in when the normal person isn’t here, people pester me when things asplode). “Throw it out the window” and “must be computer gremlins” are my standard responses before I even hear what the problem is.
-
You don’t start with “What did you do this time?”
I have one of the guys at work what must carry around rare earth magnets or something, if he looks at tech it can break. So that is my standard response for him
-

-
not necessarily… could be windows being spastic, i would recommend the first course of action to be re-formatting before jumping to conclusions (or fixing windows but that takes effort and time) save all your stuff (music, photos, downloads, videos, steamapps) and go again… if it still does it after that, yeah, there’s a hardware problem… PSU or RAM would be the first things i’d check
-
Looks like it’s windows being spastic.
Gah, I hate backing up. -
i always keep backups… i’ve had HDD failing on me before, losing everything…. EVERYTHING… not fun having to re-acquire all my music and especially photos…
get a external drive and just run a scheduled copy before you go to bed at night or something… keep files in both places and keeps you out of trouble if stuff goes pear-shaped
-
-
-
Virus/Spyware/Malware scan.
Are you sitting at your computer when it restarts? It’s not caused by windows updates etc is it?
Check event viewer for any messages around the time of the restarts, especially any mention of the system experiencing an unexpected shutdown/restart (can’t remember the exact wording but that basically indicates nothing software-wise caused the reboot).
Then back your stuff up, reformat and install from scratch.
If that still doesn’t fix it then it’s hardware.
-
-
-
So plug that exact error into google and see what it comes back with 🙂
-
Its funny people ask me to fix there computers. I find out what the problem is and type it in google then try the suggestions. 80% of the time it works all the time.

It used to be “Blame lambo” before Pez came back. Don’t worry, I’m not upset 😛

My laptop had a fried HDD due to a blue screen. It would stay at the windows XP logo screen forever and I lost all hope.Good luck 🙁

Dear 14 year old me,
I know at the time you probably thought it was really cool to have a email address that made you look cool while talking on Msn. However in later life this decision will screw you over, when giving people your email address. You will get on your knees and pray to Bill gates for taking over hotmail and letting you make a alias email account that has your real name. Did anybody else have this problem?
-
i had this issue, then i switched to a gmail account with a “proper” name, so i don’t look like a premature twat when i hand it out to people 😛
-
but then again, then they meet me in person and then that illusion is ruined in 2 seconds flat
-
-
-
Get it? Because articuno? Yeah?
My first email address. It lasted about two weeks until I was banned from using the library computers in primary school after leaving it logged in and another kid decided to send emails from it to whoever he damn well pleased.
Oops.
-
-
-
Mine involved an rpg… my second one when I thought it sounded good and now my mum laughs at me everyday.
-
-
Haha that’s great My old one involved a story about me cross dressing which was funny story the time.
-
My friend has one that was based off a horrendous fanfic and her mum was all “why is your e-mail butawolf@…com?”
-
Was it about a wolf suddenly appearing?
-
Or some sort of indian resturant that used wolf instead of chicken in their recipes.
-
-
-
-
Aw honey, they’re laughing with you! I think…
-
Yeah honey you are great don’t ever change. You are perfect the way you are sweety pie
Bish, we’ve been through this. You left your TV on during a Sitcom. That canned laughter was coming from the TV.
The voices come from the picture box what is this sorcery /o\
I went through a handful of hotmail accounts until I set up two gmails. The normal one, that I use for chatting with friends and what have you and the formal one (with my real name in the address) that I use for job applications and any correspondence where they might not look too kindly on seeing something from a trjnrabbit.
Then I bought my own domain, so that I have a few basically unused emails with @trjn.net. One day I’ll transition to them properly, but it’s just so damned hard to get away from an old email.
-
I do hate how hard it is to change from an old email. All those subscriptions and accounts and lost password recovery etc… It’s worse than moving house.
-
Losing my main email account is a terrifying prospect.
I should really start to get things lined up so that it isn’t an issue. Somehow I doubt I’ll do anything until it’s too late. Good thing that I’ve got multiple emails going already, so I can just jump ship to one that’s already active.
-
-
Nice Plan, I really should of shifted over to Gmail ages ago but everything is tied to my email now so may as well keep it.
Mine is pretty awful too.
I made it in year 8. I’m now almost 25.
this is why I use a professional sounding gmail account for all my important stuff like banks and jobs etc, and my old hotmail one for newsletters, website logins and game accounts.
Do you guys think the getting revenge on your murdered family plot line is the new lone hero saving the world cliché?
It seems many games releasing nowadays have a plot that tries to buy your emotions with dead or missing family members and it’s becoming tiring to some extent.
One could say it’s because gamers are older and have families, so they are more likely to relate to such characters but when is it too much?
Maybe I’m just heartless, who knows? Thoughts?
-
All hero storylines can pretty much be traced to one book http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hero_with_a_Thousand_Faces
-
-
I had a thought once, it hurt like hell.
I then decided to stop having them.
Just my thought for the day.
Arrrggghhh
*clutches at head in pain*-
-
-
Well, either way you are both right.
I very rarely get those brain picture thingys in my head and I need to learn to let Clubby do all the.. well everything.
*props Clubby up at desk, then goes to sit in the corner for some good old fashion wall staring*
-
-
-
-
-
I don’t know like i have lost a close family member and its really emotional. I don’t know what i would do if i was put in that situation. But yeah sometimes it goes a little too far. Just my opinion though. Losing loved ones does crazy shit to people.
-
I think the real tragedy is emo heroes are now back in fashion (MY PARENTS ARE DEAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDD)
-
This makes me want a Turbonegro themed game.
ALL MY FRIENDS ARE DEEEAAADDD
ALLL MY FRIENDS ARE DEEEAADDDD
THEY GOT KICKED IN THEIR HEAD
NOW THEY’RE BURIED AND THEY’RE DEAD!!!The opening scene is the PC loading up on more heroine than humanly possible
-
The thing is, i remember feeling like that when i lost my dad. He is part of the reason i loved scfi as a kid, it gave me hope that one day i could get into a time machine and save him. You aren’t trying to be emo, its just you don’t want to do anything or talk to anyone and nobody not even your family relates. I think these stories are somewhat accurate to these peoples emotional states well the good ones anyway.
-
-
The sad part is i couldn’t even get out of one of your hugs if i tried sigh
Also its okay, It was a long time ago now. -
would you like one of my sexy hugs?
They now come with 10% more body hair! 😀MMmmmmm warm and toasty!
-
Only 10% more body hair?
How hairy does that make Harli?
-
sooooooo hairy
especially butts
-
HAIRLY!!!!
-
I’ll have you know that Loops manscapes.
-
-
-
-
Wow that is really interesting. Thanks Flu Flu
-
You read the “Early Life” section on Wikipedia?
-
Yeah I did, i felt exactly like that when i was a kid. I wanted to be a inventor so bad so that i would make a time machine and warn my dad. I sose it was my coping mechanism, as it was his. He funnelled all his energy into it and is now a brilliant world renound scientist. I wonder if he would of been so pasionate without his loss?
-
Yeah, that’s a good point. Would he have excelled in the same field, a different field, or not excelled at all..?
-
It sad, but his loss has kind of defined him.
I want a game where the antagonist kicked my dog.
MOTHER FUCKER!! I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!
NO ONE, AND I MEAN ***NO ONE* KICKS MY MOTHER FUCKING DOG!!!!
The protagonist is obviously Samuel L Jackson.
-
Obviously, you see him kick your dog, but he speeds off in his black bad guy car, so then you go on a bloody killing spree to avenge your kicked dog!
-
-
That basically explains my experience of Fable 2.
To explain if you were evil people would kick your dog. This would send me into a blinding rage slaughtering all the inhabitants of the town. They had it coming I say.
-
Man.. maybe i’m onto something!!
I’m like the new Peter Molydeux!!!I’M PETER MOLYLOOPS!!!!
-
Well we were going to tell you later but now’s as a good of time then any.
You are actually a clone of Peter Molydeux
-
so this is what it feels like when the doves cry….
-
-
That actually sounds cool in a crazy kind of way. I’ve always liked scenarios where someone freaks out over minor issues. For example The protagonist stubs his toe on a piece of furniture and decides to go on a rampage against all furniture, destroying tables, chairs etc. The final boss battle will be a tree in the rain forest.
-
If a tree is felled in the forest, and there is only one crazy mo fo around to hear it, does it make pre orders?!?!!
Yes, yes it does.
-
Ha ha ha. Nice one.

MORNING TAY.
Thought I had a tutorial today at 12pm (to make up for the one I missed yesterday) but it turns out it’s a 4pm. YEAAAAAAH.

*SIGH*
We got another on guys
We’ll get right on that, after we’ve finished patching up all those holes in the wall that Harli made.

Also, I feel slightly offended. MY POOR CHEST.
Wait, my most defining feature is that I’m short, isn’t it?

I was going to say your pretty swishy dress and the fact that you look like a 1950’s librarian. But now that you mention it.

Look on the bright side, at least he didn’t call you fat, or insinuate that you raped your boyfriend…
Oh, Rocketman.
-
That’s true. He’s improving.
-
Hey I can be delightful when i want to be, the fact of the matter is that because of my poor self esteem i find most compliments anybody gives to be fake. I don’t want to seem disgenuine so i stay away from them most of the time unless i really mean them.
-
Rocketman’s really a charmer. He just conceals it beneath a veil of innocence and naivete.
Total ladykiller in disguise. -
I prefer to think of myself as a hooker murderer flu if you don’t mind. I am no lady killer. The thought is kind of laughable.
-
-
It’s all we can ask for. Gradual improvements.
-
Rocketmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, you might want to start filtering yourself sometime soonish.
Thanks Bish
o_o
also, GET IT RIGHT ROCKETMAN, JEEZ!
I remember my second semester of uni, i totally mixed up one of my lecture times and just randomly showed up to the wrong one. Since it was only week 1, no one knew each other and i had no idea i was at the wrong class for about 15 mins.
I ended up staying for the whole 2 hours. Mostly because i had a few hours to kill before my actual lecture started, and because it was a class on engineering and i could pretend to be smart while nodding at the lecturer.
You are a selfish cell. The only one in your space. You are the begining.
After mitosis, you become angry and jealous of your new daughter cells, entering your world to outshine you. So you murder them through osmosis, bringing them back into you, only for you to split in two again.
The war is never ending.
The game ends when the mother is overwhelmed by the quickly replicating ancestors whom form a single tear rolling down a mothers cheek.
Has anybody read the death threats article posted today.
He said that most of the most severe threats-the ones that Call of Duty publisher Activision’s internal security team would take action on-came from underage gamers, fans technically too young to buy the M-rated Call of Duty on their own. “We would have an agent contact their family, he said, “and inform them of the type of communication they were sending, which was always very entertaining.”
Man I would love to hear recording of those calls. Or even better the talking to the annoying little turds would get afterwards
-
You should’ve saw what happened when I went to JB last weekend, these kids that didn’t even look 12 were asking me to buy prototype 2 for them and that they’d pay me back. I shook my head in disappointment after saying no. It’s really sad that the too-young demographic has hit gaming so hard due to stupidity from parents and sellers alike.
-
Well on the bright side (well slightly less dark side) at least that hadn’t been able to just walk up and buy it from JB, so some of the controls seem to be working there.
But reading some of the comments just sounds like the absolute pinnacle a entitled little turds. It is my opinion that you should support dedicated servers and since you are not, I’m going to send you photos of your kids with a threat to kill them.
If it wasn’t a complete and utter waste of resources I would love to have police go out to each of the houses and question them in relation to death threats and scare the jeebus out of them -
-
You are a woman’s breast – staring at men
You tilt your six axis to control jiggle, bending their minds to do your bidding.
No one suspects the breasts
I am finding it very hard to resist the siren’s song of Prototype 2.
I really enjoyed the first one, finishing it a few times, but I am low on funds and heading overseas in a couple of weeks, so the smart thing would be to wait.
But I don’t know if I can. The fact that I could spend all night tonight and all day tomorrow playing it has gotten me all antsy.
Plus I have some sort of $25 off at Game type coupon.
By Talos, the temptation is killing me.

I’ve been cunningly avoiding it under my large, comfy rock as of late.
Is it better than its predecessor? I loved the first one but it did have its cons. One of the first games I’ve played that actually made me feel like I was a real superpowered badass.
-
Apparantly it has the exact highs and lows of the first game.
Gameplay is awesome and the ability to travers NYC is lots of fun and you really feel like you are developing into a super powered badarse.
Having said that, the story is apparntly very basic, even thought they were really trying to push the emotive feel of this character, apparantly after about half an hour to an hour, he just feels like a reskinned Mercer.
While some of the cityscape details has improved, apparantly a lot of the fighting and enemies look exactly like the first game.
Basically,, it is just more of the first game, with only slight improvements, however, seeing as I absolutely loved the first, I feel I am going to be happy with this version to.-
Also, apparantly some of the difficulty in feeling for the guy is the fact that every second word he utters is a swear word.
Hey, if I had just been turned into a freak and experienced what he did, I am pretty sure I would be doing a fair amount of cursing as well.-
Clearly nobody has ever met me before.
-
-
-
-
Oh has that been released, wow. I never got to finish the first it always bugged out on PC for me D=
-
-
-
-
-
Observation commenced.
-
What is everyone watching?
-
This
-
I see…
-
-
-
you lie! there are still broken reply chains.
-
Not from where I’m sitting.
-
Exactly. First thing I did after seeing Flu’s comment was scroll up to the bit about hairy harli butts.
-
hmm. still broken to me..
-
This reply chain should break under the load rather soon.
-
-
So… You don’t see any difference to what it was like 25 minutes ago?
-
Negative. I just broke the reply chain when I said that the reply chain would break rather soon :p
-
yeah it looks broken as per usual.
-
Weird…
For me there is a noticeable difference to how it was 25 minutes ago.
I’m using IE at work, so maybe that has something to do with it. -
Chrome here.
-
firefox here. just tested with IE too, still broken to me. booo. i want fixed reply chains
-
This reply chain is indented considerably to the right. I’d say it’s almost too much of an indent.
Or has it been this way for a while and I’m late to the party?
@BatGirl; Re: Web Zeroes, It’s a show about 3 friends trying to get famous on the internet. It’s pretty lulsy, especially when Bobby King “King of the Internet” gets involved.
Sorry didn’t reply earlier I went to bed just after I posted that I had finished it
It made me realise how awesome the internet shows I use to watch were and how I miss them. Them being The Leet World, Pure Pwnage (please do not bring up the TV series, it made me weep) & Web Zeroes.. Maybe I need to go on a quest & find some new ones!
-
The TV series of Pure Pwnage was better than some of the later online stuff, where it got a bit wacky.
-
Oh season 2 of Pure Pwnage, mostly sucked. It was a tragedy it came to an abrupt end when the actor who played T-Bag died in a car accident, Jarrett always promised us fans we’d see a finale for the web series, I think it is safe to say we’re never going to, which is rather sad. But probably best to let it rest than to resurrect it and ruin it even more.
I will say I didn’t like how they portrayed Doug in the TV series they made him seem like a total dumbass & no Dave, I was sad man, so sad D= but yeah it was mostly better than the second season of the web series.
-
-
-
Yeah, it was a great machinima. They would’ve continued if they could’ve made money off it, cause it was so time consuming, which is why they did Web Zeroes endorsements & revenue made it viable for them, which I understand.
-
Ever since that trip to the gym where I almost blacked out, I’ve made a point to eat regular meals and whatnot.
Then I skipped breakfast today because I was running late to work /o\
So I bought a muffin from the place I get my coffee! \o/
It was oozing with warm berry goodness. And muffinness. \o/
Im going to Europe for 1-2 months!
starting in December or February…
thats all the information I have at the moment, though I’m rather keen on the idea.
that is all.
-
-
-
-
That’s awesome! Going with friends/families or doing it lone wolf style?
Europe. Can I just die of jealousy now?
-
I just got a call from my brother saying ‘I know this is a bit of a random question, but do you wanna come to Europe with me for a few months?’
So I dunno who’s going other than the bro & I, but either way is sounds awesome 😀
-
-
Go to denmark, i hear that’s great… not that i was born there or anything… you should hit up Lego land in Billund… and Tivoli in Copenhagen… and then stop by my house and walk my dog
-
Dear people I was borderline-grumpy with last night,
Apologies. I am not used to your aggressive play. It does not meld well with my defensive nature of playing it safe.So everytime you guys do something I wouldn’t, I really cannot understand why you would do that, which is frustrating.
That said, I still think there is the occassional derp, but eh.
Kind Regards,
The Fabulous Taric.
I am outrageous.
-
-
-
-
This was the second game.
Steve-O, Pyrean, Rocketman.
Many times, it paid off.
Other times… it did not. -
-
-
-
But..but I was 4/0/3 ten minutes in?
You’re right though, once I got ahead I took even worse risks and proceeded to go 4/4/3 in the next 5 minutes. We pulled through though! It was a good win.
Also, I didn’t even know you were grumpy :/
-
-
-
-
-
Not on my list.
-
I’m flattered! 😀
-
What? No. That was the opposite of what I was going for. Shoot.

-
Good Delightful Beanbag?
-
We used to own a nice leather beanbag, until our scumbag cat kept making little nooks in the creases and filling them with urine.
And this is why cats are terrible animals.
-
So to recap, not all beanbags are good and delightful, but only if you own a scumbag cat.
-
That’s an important life lesson that i will make sure to take with me the rest of my life….
what if i put metallic mesh around the beanbag with a car battery hooked up to it each time i am not using it? will that fix this pesky little problem?
-

WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME? WHY I OUGHTA!
-
-
You sure fooled me!
-
-
I am confused guys,
I have at least another 8 months of living in my town, I can live them out in my grandparents 2 bedroom apartment or move out and find my own place. I have saved enough and i am sure i would be able to live comfortably. I just don’t know, I am planning on moving at the end of the year from here. SHould i trial run or should i just keep saving money and move at the end of the year. I am pretty comfortable where i am now and i feel my grandparents are strangely good for me.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Yeah F4action speaks the truth, is better to have the money for when you move away from the place.
-
-
-
-
I would be saying to stay as well. Not sure but generally it will take you at least a month if not more to find somebody and get all your lease/bond randomness sorted.
You are also probably going to have trouble only getting a 6 month lease, a majority of them would want 12 months and only asking for 6 months will put you at the bottom of the pile.
Rather than jump straight from living with relies to on your own maybe you should try saving the equal amount that it would cost you to live away from home. The full rent, utilities and food just to get you accustomed to having less disposable income. -
Save money rocket!
But it might be a good idea to try to be more independent whilst you’re still there. See if you can chat to them and see what they say?
Work is talking of cancelling my leave. Seriously considering taking stress and sick leave in it’s place if it’s revoked.
The joys of not giving a f*** if I lose my job.
-
You want a Rocketman hug, I warn you, you may never look at me the same afterwards. In all seriousness that is bullshit, work shouldn’t be able to do that if they already approved it.
-
-
A staff member who works under me resigned and is finishing up and so they’re going to cancel my week and a half of leave to cover for her vacant position for one day.
This will mark the third time in two years that they’ve cancelled my leave a week before it was due to cover for someone else (including cancelling my leave to cover for my boss to THEN put in for leave).
-
-
Pretty sure you’re justified in telling them to fuck off. If they’ve cancelled leave on you that frequently and it’s just to cover a single day, then they’re doing a pretty terrible job of running the place.
Tell them you’ve made bookings and that they have to pay for cancellation fees and whatnot if you cannot go. It might be bullshit but it’s a decent bluff.
-
Already told them I have plans that I can’t cancel without extreme hardship, waiting to hear back now.
Maaaan, I’d love to tell them to fuck off. Some day soon, hopefully.
-
Well it looks like I’m cancelling my Friday’s of leave. so I get 5 of the 7 days I requested.
I guess I can take that, gives me 5 days for looking for a new job instead of 7!
-
I guess that’s somewhat okay.
Although I guess this means you have to go in on a Friday after having not worked the whole week? Can’t say I’d be looking forward to that if I was you.
-
Yep, certainly far from ideal
-
-
-
Why the hell would they do that? =/
Sounds like you really need the break from the place, so they sound like a bunch of big jerks.
Apparently for many humans at my work, their human minds can only perform the tasks of sending emails and never reading the replies I send them… so frustrating.
I almost replied to this latest one with “WHAT DID I F#$ING JUST TELL YOU YESTERDAY!?”
-
Maybe they’re like animals and need to be taught the same thing over & over again and give them a biscuit when they do the correct thing so they keep on doing it?
-
-
They might even work harder knowing there is a treat in it for them! I know most do when incentives are offered. Us humans are a odd bunch.
-
Indeed you are, incentives are good, but the usual incentive is “We’ll keep paying you for doing a proper job”. Right now they’re basically what I call “handballers” basically just not talking with the customer at all and dropping the problem and responsibility entirely onto us. That’s not why we have them in the first place!
-
SMBC did that one well
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LI3rhRkCKRU/TxWSrt3W5BI/AAAAAAAAApc/kwW-CrGeZ8c/s1600/20120117.gifThe other one that annoys me is people who reply to every email with thanks.
-
-
Biscuits. Good.

I once had someone give me a 5 minute lecture on how I, as the market intelligence person, should keep people informed, and like, send out a weekly digest, or do an internal podcast, because she felt that I was useless to her.
I told her to open her email and read the market intelligence summary that I had sent around on Friday. And moonwalked out of there
To her credit, she did apologise.

I hope so because that’s exactly what I wanted. 🙂 Can’t see a difference on the mobile site though.
What browser are you using, you don’t have rounded corners on your buttons? 😮-
Sounds like he might be using IE, it generally has issues with css that rounds the corners.
Well at least they seem to be looking into the issue and trying to fix it

Good Afternoon TAY.
Last night I finally finished Mass Effect 3. After months of avoiding spoilers and skirting around the whole “ending” issue, I finally know how it all ends. To be honest, as the credits were rolling, all I could think was “was that it? that’s what all the drama has been over??”. I can’t explain how angry I was at all the people who cried foul and acted like it was the worst travesty they’ve ever seen.
It kind of ties back to the “death threats” article that went up today, but I find it really depressing that people feel justified in acting this way. I can understand why some people may think that the ending could have been better, everyone has the right to their own opinion and there’s no problem with that at all, but to act as if they have somehow been betrayed by EA and to go as far as trying to SUE them?? These people need t grow up, seriously, they’re making the rest of us look bad.
Personally, I’m no fanboy and i honestly tried to be as objective as I could, but I still really enjoyed the ending. I truly felt that the last 2 hours of the game was the perfect climax for the series. It’s just this whole ending drama thing has frustated me to the point of feeling the need to post about it, just hoping that it was only a vocal minority who felt it was worth attacking EA & Bioware over this.
Let’s just hope I dont start a flame-war or anything, but hey, come at me bro.
-
-
IKR, I always send people that have made me made delicious cupcakes that are really delicious!
It makes perfect sense!
-
-
Hey settle down mate, I love cupcakes as much as the next guy, but….I forgot where I was going with this. Now i want cupcakes.
-
-
-
A story is more than just the ending. Yes the ending was lacklustre. The rest of the game was pretty damned good though and the ending didn’t ruin that for me. The final missions leading up to the ending were definitely brilliant.
The outrage was just ridiculous. Although sometimes I feel like people are being upset just to join in on the wave of anger or something. How people could get so worked up is beyond me.
-
EXACTLY! Even if someone hated the ending, its like they forgot every great moment leading up to the end.
-
-
I was ok with the ending initially, but after thinking about it a bit more, I sort of see where the criticism was coming from (thopugh not to the disgusting extremes that I saw some people going to) ROT13 for spoiler free convenience:

I still loved BioWare’s reaction to the ‘protest’ cupcakes – they donated them to a local homeless shelter.
Brilliant.I’m with you on this Dan, it’s OK to hate something – be it a video game ending, a movie, a book, your favorite band’s latest album, whatever. Demanding someone change it for you is not OK. Since when did people become such self entitled bell-ends that they became so arrogant to even consider asking for that, let alone doing it.
The biggest tragedy was people got so involved in following the crowd and raging over it, they succeeded in tainting it for everyone. As well as completely losing sight of the fact that regardless of what you thought of the end to ME3, the Mass Effect series was an incredibly well made and original series.
At DreamHack on the weekend, the overlay guys put in little messages and jokes from time to time.
When Wolf’s (one of the casters) computer was causing lag they put a message up for him. They occasionally changed the names for the maps. ESV Ohana became ESV Obama 2012 and Antigua Shipyard became Antigua Shipderp.
Fairly sure they were Swedish. The announcements during Thorzain’s games were pretty one sided :p
Oh, man… it’s cold out here…
Thankfully the clovers have been disintegrated, thereby removing them from the atmosphere.
/bad joke
SSSSCCCCCCRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
I sent that something something that we were discussing on the down low super spy. I even sent it via registered post because I wanted to know what it felt like to be as flashy and important as Yellowius.

Empty on the inside and itchy on the outside from all the STIs he gets from escorts he pretends are supermodels?

I dont want to make it until I know that I’m actually going to eat it/consume it with other delish food. It’ll be a waste to have it sit in the fridge

Have you added me?
You should.
Because I’m the cooler, sexier, more stream-lined version of Ruffleberg.
Also I gots more fake trophies
Because my posts as Peter Molyloops got delayed in limbo for so long… here are some game ideas from Peter Molyloops!
You are a selfish cell. The only one in your space. You are the begining.
After mitosis, you become angry and jealous of your new daughter cells, entering your world to outshine you. So you murder them through osmosis, bringing them back into you, only for you to split in two again.
The war is never ending.
The game ends when the mother is overwhelmed by the quickly replicating ancestors whom form a single tear rolling down a mothers cheek.

You are a woman’s breast – staring at men
You tilt your six axis to control jiggle, bending their minds to do your bidding.
No one suspects the breasts

Just wait for the Total Recall DLC, which adds an extra player to the mix.

AHHH! THAT JO GUY!!!

So who’s playing/using/whatevering Colours 3D! on 3DS?
So far I’ve uploaded one pic. It was rushed and done on the train with lots of swearing as the carriage rocked back and forth.
You can view it here in regular 2D (which does kinda defeat the purpose).
Let me know your Colours! name so I can watch your stuff! (I’m Doc_What)
In fact, I’ll add a TAYnames section.
-
-
I hear it’s like Photoshop for the 3DS and you can draw and send pics to each other IN 3D!
scree said she watched some video of it on the 3DS itself so maybe there’s some sort of preview on the eShop 😀
-
-
Also – Forgot to post this link!

I may buy a 3DS today. $150 second hand is sorta tempting…though I would prefer a new one.
Counter-point is “should I get a PSP (Vita, normal, whatever) instead, so I can emu PS1 as well as SNES?”
-
Chances are Ninty will announce a lite version at E3 soon. Or maybe a price cut. So if you hold out you may be able to get a new one for that price.
-
If you can find an ambassador pre-owned one then you’ll get all the free games :D. A certain card (Supercard DSTwo) can let you play GBA and SNES games on the DS/3DS but no PS1.
Should you get a PSP instead? As far as I know the Vita isn’t hackable yet but I guess you should get a PSP if it’s cheap enough.

But Huntsmen are pretty cool dudes.
Ferocious looking but totes harmless.
Shove them in a container and let them roam free outside!-

i tried getting one with my shoe once… it caught my shoe and started whacking me /o\
-
There was one in my bathroom this one time.
So I did the only sensible action and burned the house down.
-
this seems logical…
my first run in with one was in a bathroom too… at 3am… jet lagged… i got so scared, that safe to say i did not hit my “target”
-
-
-
I’m gonna wait a little while, I think.
The only 2D session near my place is at 5 tomorrow then it’s once a day at midday for the rest of the week. I’ll give it a week then go, once the crowds have died down a little.

Dear Chuloopa
It appears you have gone off your mess again. Back in my day when we went off the mess they held us down with guinea pigs and force fed us mildew through an empty sock bag. The nurse was kind of hot though so it made the whole ordeal more on the kinky side.
The point I’m trying to make is you should poop in their letterbox and molest their cats.

Bring the worst one you can find.
I he complains, just say
“If you had your own BBQ, it wouldn’t be so bad.”
/badadvice-
I own a grand total of one BBQs. A portable Weber thingy. Maybe I could break it or something, but then I wouldn’t be able to cook delicious steaks.
-
-
You’re a thinker.

Remember to have some food with that so you don’t black out.
What I’m saying is to eat all the time.
Thanks for tuning into to another of Bish’s Helpful Diet Tips. I’ll see you next week!

Oddly enough, I am trying to lose a bit of weight with my exercising. Yet I have to force myself to eat more so that I can do it.
Being human is rather odd sometimes.
All of the times.

By “vacant”, I assume you mean it’ll only notch (I HATE THAT GUY) up sub-1000 comments for the day.

Well then maybe if he loves Notch so much, it should marry him.
Then they can wear hats together. Matching hats. Like some sort of creepy outfit coordinating couple.-
I hope you’re wearing a tophat on Saturday.
We can be best buds.
-
I’m wondering how many guys are gonna man up and be dapper.
-
I’m going to be the dapperest.
I challenge any man to out-dapper me.
-
Not me, I am going as grungy as possible.
Just so I can help you all look that much better by comparison.
That’s the helpful, dishevelled kinda guy I am. -
I think I’ll go a bit of each. see if dapper grunge is actually a thing.
probably just end up looking like a twat, but any reason to wear a wastecoat is a good reason. -
Dapper grunge is totally a thing.
-
Dapper fusion?
The concept is intriguing.
-
Mmm, Track suit pants, nice shirt, nice vest and a plaid shirt to wear over the top.
The mental image is… AWESOME!
-
-
-
-
The idea of us being buddies on the premise of similar tastes rather than mutual abuse terrifies me, to be honest.
-
Your eyes say no, but your tophat says yes…
-
Could this be it, Bish? Could this be… Love?
-
-
a notch for each person i’ve backpacked
-
I’m going to need more hats.
-
-
-
May or may not have shed manly tears…
I can’t help but feeling that it’s not gonna end up well for the girl or their friendship 😛 but I wish them both the best.
-
-
-
-
Well, that was annoying.
I was doing a run of Gigatrack, and doing quite well, averaging a second or two ahead of my previous best time for the most part, until I reached the parts I’d faulted on, where I shot forward. Reached a jump near the end, where the easiest way to get over it is to just hold down the accelerator, and not touch anything else, when I proceeded to fault on it.
Twice.
*Sigh* Oh well, the time will do for now…
-

Yes. Very.

Jo is just over the minimum for a gold… you sure you’re ahead of him? I am only behind him, sughly and fatshady on my board.

Yep, I got gold in it earlier 😐
2 faults I believe
-
Shit.
That must have been recent… back to play it more tonight then!
-
-
-
-
-
Aye. My Xbox shares its ethernet cable with my PC, so I’ve spent a lot of time playing it offline. Got the gold the night before last, was just beating your time, same number of faults, but since it was done in offline mode I couldn’t bring the score online.
-
-
Ah righto. Does it update if you go online after you get the time?
What time did you get if I may ask?-
Pretty sure it doesn’t. It’ll ask you to connect if you get a new record in offline mode but I’m fairly certain that your offline times can’t be updated 🙁
(I beat a few scores in some skillgames while offline but they never updated, I’ve since beaten them in online mode though)
-
I think TAY just ate my reply…
Anyway, yeah, Greenius is right.
But my current time is 7:30ish with 2 faults.
-
Ah that sucks. Play Online B-man! Get a hub or something.
-
I’m far too slack for that. And anyway, I do my first few run throughs offline, and then if I actually want to compete with people, I go online to beat you all.
-
But what if you get an amazing time offline and it’s… well offline? No one will ever see your greatness!
-
By amazing time I mean it’ll be hard for you to beat it if you try again online*
-
Then I will live with my sins. And keep going until I can beat it.
-
-
So I just saw this in my steam feed
Steve-O The Deve-O achieved It Has A Knob On The End
How he has only just managed to achieve this?
-
If you’re referring to the many hours I have put into Dungeons of Dredmore, many of them were just accrued when I left the game running accidentally.
If you’re referring to the deviant achievement and my deviant nature, I actually got the achievement back at age 13, but Steam wasn’t around then.
-
awwww maaannnn… i’m having serious snack food regret now.. i feel gross!!!
WHY YOU NO STAY HUNGRY?!
This is going to sound dumb, but could somebody please explain insurance excess fees in laymen’s terms to me? Its basically the fee you pay if you claim something, right?
-
Basically yes.
Generally you will have an excess fee that you pay if you make claim. The higher the excess fee generally the lower the premium that you pay each month.
The basic principle is that if it is going to cost you $300 to make a claim you are not going to claim on small little things so they don’t need to include that in your premiums. -
It’s a way to discourage people from making low value claims. Basically, you’re responsible for the first X amount of a claim and then the insurance company covers the remainder, up to the limit of your coverage.
-
This. if a claim is below a certain value, it costs the insurance company more than they make back to cover it. It’s to stop frivolous claims as well, otherwise people would claim every time they broke a $20 vase.
-
-
-
Generally car excess can be anywhere from $0 to $Thousands. however an insurance policy with $0 excess would be very very expensive, but you could get every single scratch and paint chip fixed.
For a house, well you’re not going to claim insurance on a broken cup but, depending on your excess you might claim for a broken TV. Depends if your insurance covers contents as well as the house.
As far as house insurance goes – you r excess can be high because most damage to a building (eg tree falling on it) costs a lot more than the odd $1k excess…. and happens very rarely.but as the other guys have said already – its basically the cost of making a claim so that you don’t claim on cheap things. If the damage is $501 and your excess is $500 technically it’s better to pay the excess, but be aware that you might lose things like “no claim” bonuses, or higher ratings for continuous years without a claim. Sometimes it’s worth paying the extra cost of the damage rather than making a claim
-
My neighbour across the road did exactly this when he dinged my car- would have been cheaper for him to pay his $400 excess, but if he wanted to pay the whole thing? go right ahead.
-
Insurance companies have come up with a whole host of ways to discourage you from claiming. They are businesses after all, why make it easy for people to get money from you? You want to make it easy for them to give you money and near impossible for them to take it back.
I’m fairly sure that life insurance and the like is only sustainable because the majority of policies lapse before a claim is made.
-

You require additional napping!
Naps are weird, I always feel more tired at the end of them. Maybe I’m just broken.

So I finished Mass Effect 2 with my beautiful badass FemShep and started Mass Effect 3 again with her. Except even after the face-import patch it’s not her. She’s all frowny, her eyes are wrong, her wrinkles are gone and her mouth now looks like it’s just stuck on there. She looks like she’s a sulky teenager instead of the been-through-hell able commander she is.
I remember in the final parts of ME2 thinking how beautiful she was and how when her mouth moved it looked like she was really talking. Not now. She just looks weird.
And no matter how hard I try I can’t recreate her. It’s mostly the eyes. It’s as if the customisation options that made her who she was just aren’t there anymore. It’s really hampering my enjoyment of the game and ruining things I’d been looking forward to.
-
Oh, and after all that effort bringing her into ME3 because I thought she’d be tough enough to make the hard choices, I’ve been finding most of the Paragon choices in conversations so far have suited her personality better. 😛
-
its a bit convoluted, but you can get the apperance code for your Shep by starting a new ME2 game & importing her save. go into the menu for a custom apperance & there should be a string of letters & numbers somewhere on screen that is the ‘code’ for your Shep.
When you import into ME3, I’m pretty sure you can plug that code in somewhere to recreate her.hopefully that helps…
also, hopefully they didnt remove that function from ME3…-
It’s not that. I have the patch and it imported my ManShep right. He looks almost exactly the same as in ME1 and 2. I imported my FemShep and it worked but not as well. She’s close but like I said, it’s as if some of the options I used in the first game when I was creating her face have disappeared so she just doesn’t look right.
-
That’s really lame… sorry to hear that, I actually had to recreate my vanguard shep cuz he looked disgusting in ME2, so now he’s got bright brown hair with green eyes, that’s my Bio Knight. Tech Knight will make an appearance afterwards. The hilarious thing is they’re both paragon style. I’m thinking of doing my first ever femshep and do my first renegade playthrough at the same time. I just genuinely don’t like being a prick, even in an RPG 😛
-
Oh! I just remembered! Techy, you totally kissed me in a dream last night. You’re a good kisser, by the way. 😛
-
And yes, I don’t like being a prick either. Which is why my “badass” FemShep usually has Paragon as well as Renegade meters almost full by the end of the game. There’s no pointing in being cruel or saintly just for the sake of it, I prefer it if my characters are smart. Mass Effect games are the only games I’ve played where I remotely considered any “evil” options.
-
For Tech Knight, it’s more being a knight in shining armour, but anyone who threatens that which I love and care for… no mercy, no forgiveness on the mindset that a human never changes. Bio Knight is similar, but is more forgiving to those who see the error of their ways.
-
-
O_o… wow that came out of nowhere, dunno whether I should be flattered or worried that Mr Strange will hunt this poor robot down for 3 rounds of IRL Mortal Kombat 😛
-
There was a Meat at Bunny’s place, except apparently it was your place too, and the room looked like Shepard’s cabin on the Normandy. You and I were talking and then you kissed me and afterwards I was all “woah, I forgot, I’m married, sorry” and it was all okay and then we all went up to the roof where my parents were sitting watching Doctor Who through a neighbour’s window.
My subconscious is a strange place. 😛 -
ahahahaha this is hilarious!!
-
I’d still take a dream like that over my constant nightmares any day. My subconcious software is downright cruel and has 3 kinds of scenarios that play at random. All of them making me feel horrible/terrified
-
I’d hug you but it would seem weird after kissing you. 😛
-
-
-
-
I think I remember seeing it on the top left when you go to your squad screen. I’ve been playing it recently and I remember a line of code.
-
Oh and thanks for the help, anyway. 🙂
I think it may just be an aesthetic decision on Bioware’s part. At least with the looking like a teenager part, considering that’s how they made their new “official” FemShep look.
Oh, and all of a sudden she’s built like a twig instead of a real woman. 😛
-
-
It works the same way, but each letter/number of the code is one part of your face’s parameters, AND you can edit your femshep after entering the code too, so it’s more loading your previous femshep to edit it.
-
-
Cool, I’ll try and enter it manually, although I re-imported a fair few times to see if it made a difference it’s still worth a try. Thankyou.
-
-
I had the same problem. Some stuff they did to the models or something made my ManShep look like an angry emo teenager trapped in the body of an 80-year-old. Threw me out for about half the game. Ended up putting him in armor to hide his face a lot.
Yo Melbourne TAYBIES!
So accommodation is booked, registration has been confirmed – I’m heading to Melbourne for Shadowloo Showdown next week!
We arrive Thursday night (3rd May) and will be there until Monday morning. So basically the entirety of Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I’m not sure how busy the schedule is for SS/other stuff but I’d love to meet some of you whilst I’m there. Let me know what days ya’ll free and I’ll do my best to make something happen!
-
-
-
-
-
Bit far for me to walk (Southbank) but very doable if we aim for somewhere in the city.
I’m free all those days.
-
i can walk 500 miles!
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
I have to work Friday but fuck it, they cancelled my leave so I’ll turn up drunk. I’m in if we’re meeting somewhere in the CBD.

given the article on video game movies/ Mortal Kombat.
What was your favourite line/scene from the movie?
Mine is “Your soul is mine!…Fatality!”
-
-
-
Maybe you’re stuck in the past! The last four and a half pages of Gizmodo are all from today 😛 Maybe Gizmodo doesn’t like you because of that comment you posted?

But I clicked that article before I made that comment =O
-
-
-
Do I want to know? D=
-
Oh I saw that one. I honestly thought vegemite was a sillier idea than a gummy bear haha.
-
I thought the gummy bear was worse because it had been sitting around their office for days having weird things done to it: http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/04/what-can-you-hold-in-a-12kg-gummy-bear/

Oh good point, yeah I didn’t factor that part into it, and the fact it’s mostly somposed of carbohydrates (the sugar) it’s a great breading place for bacteria D=

My husband is on holidays all this week. He’s mostly just been sitting around playing games. When he plays Trials (which I bought for him so he’d have something awesome to play on his holidays) his curses and his facial expressions are highly amusing. I’ve been spending my days watching him instead of watching our son. 😛
-
I’m glad I play Trials in a room by myself. The words that come out of my mouth I’m so ashamed of.
-
This is what makes it so funny. He starts to curse with normal rude-sounding expletives but then he realises our son is around so he changes them mid-word into something else.
-
-
I am the most mild, calm and even-tempered person until you put me down infront of a frustrating video game. I rage so much that I get yelled at about it.
“Why are you playing it if you hate it so much?” they ask. They think I must not be enjoying it if I’m swearing at it. They don’t understand.
-
-
-
Well, really, it’s not like men ever actually grow up, so you’re just looking after another kid.
-
-
It looks great, but the more I see of it, the more I realise I’ll never be able to play. So much of it depends on memorising tracks and my brain doesn’t work like that.
For instance, even though I played Guitar Hero or Rock Band every day for years I still never memorised any of the songs, I still sightread them every single time. So each time I played a Trials track it would be almost as if I was playing it for the first time.-
-
Give it a go Strange! There’s enough tracks that aren’t too hard to play and you’ll still have a blast with them :). If you’re just trying to complete them rather than go for the best times then pretty much only holding accelerate and adjusting your position works wonders 😛
It’s fairly easy to ‘sightread’ Trials, I’m like that as well. You can see just far enough ahead to adjust your position so you can land safely. The only time memory comes into play is on later, much harder levels where you’ll need to hit a specific section to get enough speed in order to move forward (pass an obstacle, make a jump etc.). Pretty hard to explain but if you just do the technique mentioned above (hold accelerate the whole time) you won’t make it (fail a jump a wide gap, hit an obstacle head on etc.)
😛 I doubt any of that blergh of text helped but…
TL;DR give it a go 😀-
You’re the first person who’s explained why I should play it, rather than just telling me to play it because it’s awesome. Still not quite convinced though, I don’t really like vehicle games. But that roller-coaster type track did look pretty fun….
-
Hehe 😀
I’m not really a fan of ‘difficult’ games but there’s just something about it that I love. It’s the whole accomplishment of finally beating that track or getting that flawless run that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Think of it like Super Meat Boy or the Souls games (if I recall you’re a fan of the Souls games) and finally doing that special something just makes you want to stand up and yell out “F*** YEAH!”
It’s definitely better with some competition and luckily for you, you have plenty of TAYbies who have the game. I’ve said it many times before but the game got infinitely better as soon as I started having people on my leaderboards. Me and Loops had this whole rivalry going for Trials HD a few weeks ago and I specifically only did tracks that Loops was beating me on so I could beat him again :D. T’was a lot of fun! Now I’ve got at least 10-20 people who have Trials Evolution on my friends list/leaderboards so the competition is getting more intense. Nothing is more satisfying then being at the top of the leaderboards (this includes beating the one and only FatShady!).
And finally… you’ve already got the game so it’s easily accessible (unless your husband wants to play 24/7, which he will since it’s Trials :P) and you’ve got nothing to lose :D. So, Strange, give it a go 😀 and post your impressions!
Also, Evolution is pretty much better than HD in every single way, it’s also much easier and ‘noob-friendly’
Ohhhhh and… play it because it’s awesome!
-
Okay, because you typed so much at me I’ll try it…eventually. 😛
And by the way, yes I am completely in love with the Souls games but I love them for their world and their atmosphere. I love them in spite of the challenge. I don’t usually play games to be challenged, I get enough of that in my everyday life dealing with two very smart kids. I play games to escape challenge….
-
Is your gamertag on the TAYnames list? I’ll have to add you.
-
Yep, it’s pretty much just Greenius anyway 🙂
GreenCOD on PSN though!

-
But it’s easy to remember.
For example, the first part of Gigatrack:
Right trigger all the way down, no stick use. Wait until you’re in the air after bouncing, correct slightly for the downhill slope you’re about to land on. Keep going with the throttle all the way down, a minor correction may be necessary when you hit the wooden bridge. Near the top of said bridge, lower your speed, go slowly off the next wooden bit, correct yourself so that you land in the ditch facing down, and can accelerate fully up the next hill. I never got the correct bit for this part, but you may as well speed off the top of said hill, and prepare yourself to land on a moderately steep uphill bit, go up this, and the jump at the top, but slow down slightly for that and hope you land in the rut, go up this, prepare for another awkward landing, minor jump, no correction needed, larger jump, over a tanker, leaning slightly may help, followed by a jump over a higher tanker, make sure you’re sitting straight when you hit the jump, as that will let you bounce over it.
I think I missed one or two things, but can’t you see, it’s EASY.
-
*brainsplosion*
-
I’ve done the start of it so many times…
Other things to remember:
Don’t accelerate at the top of the dirt dunes, need to be at low speed to land in the rut properly between each pair.
Bit after that, rock that goes up, lean well forward, as it can be tricky to get over the rock after it.
Need decent speed for the first of the mine/rollercoaster bit, though with the 450CC bike less is necessary.
The granite cylinder a bit later is annoying, either hit it with a fair amount of speed, or very little, as the middle-ground makes you hit the ground awkwardly. Lots of speed is best, as it allows you to get into a better run on the next bit.
After that bit, just past the next checkpoint, go slowly over the ridge, so you can get a decent jump over the ditch. The ramp after that you should go off the top slowly, so you get a better landing, and the same for another jump just after(can’t remember the exact positions).
Get more hazy from there, as I haven’t done this stuff nearly as much, but:
Downhill bit, feel free to pick up speed, release accelerator a bit near the end, so you hit the horizontal metal piece, and land comfortably on the next bit.
After the metal mound, hit the jump either very quickly, or very slowly. Middling speed will make you hit a pipe, which you can spin around, if you’re good/lucky, but is otherwise annoying, and the following is true for the next jump.
Fairly easy for a bit, watch out once you hit the dirt bit as there’s a bit with three small ridges that can be quite tricky.
Don’t lean when you’re on the tree trunk near the very end, for the love of god. Leaning will destroy you.
-
And then up the little hills and past the cop cars and pools of water but slow down before the big one so you can get enough speed to make the jump. Try not to change the position but lean forward right at the end so you can bounce on top or completely jump over the rock. Then correct your landing and go forward. Watch out for the rocks here cause it’s pretty easy to spin out of control. Fairly straight forward from here but when you hit the big hill ease on the accelerate a bit and tap it in increments so you can climb up the steep hill. Hold forward the whole time as well but ease off a bit when it gets less steep or you’ll put all your weight on the front wheel and flip over. Carefully make your way past the little hills here…
EASY PEASY!
(Kind of forgot the order of things)

Luxury!
In my day, we worked in the salt mines 40 hours a day. We had to walk there barefoot, uphill both ways over broken glass and when we got home our father would kill us and dance on our grave.
The lack of interest in this kickstarter saddens me:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/486250632/republique-by-camouflaj-logan
Apparently kickstarter only works if you’re someone who made games in the 80s or 90s. :\ Actual novel, interesting concept that uses the target platform effectively? Who would want that.
-
TBH I think this whole kickstarter thing exploded way too fast. Even the yogscast are doing it with their own game they’re planning on. I got tired of it pretty quickly.
-
I think the worst part of Tim Schafer’s and Ron Gilbert’s KickStarter is that with all that money he/they/whoever got that was over the amount required, people could have funded so many more other games.
-
Yeah, though at least the Wasteland guys are pledging 10% of theirs to other kickstarter projects. Hoping some comes this one’s way, because it really looks and sounds interesting and fairly unique.
-
I’m pretty sure the pledge that the Wasteland people, as well as Double Fine, and some other Kickstarters made, was that it was 10% of their profits from the released version, as opposed to the money from the Kickstarter. If they tried that with the Kickstarter money, then people could theoretically pull out their money/sue them, saying that they’re not using the money as promised.
-
Yeah that’s probably right.
-
-
-
-
This one makes me sad: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1272149684/class-of-heroes-2-deluxe-for-the-psp-system
Because they were using that to gauge western interest in JRPGs and it doesn’t look like they’re going to get funded. 🙁-
That one’s different because:
1) the game is already funded, the kickstarter was just for a physical copy
2) you need to pledge like $50+ to get a game at all
3) Class of Heroes was a crappy dungeon crawler and barely a JRPG to begin with at allIf they’d been kickstarting say a Tales game, or Valkyria 3, or something else with a decent profile then it’d be an entirely different proposal I think. Especially if it was a full game and not just an unnecessary physical copy of a game that probably doesn’t have enough profit potential to justify a physical release in the first place.
-
Disclaimer: despite that, I pledged them some money. Consider it pretty low risk – worst case, they don’t get my cash. Best case, I get a game.
-
-
-
-
Kickstarters I have backed recently:
DFA
Wasteland2
The Banner Saga
ShadowrunBanner Saga is the exception for me – the others were backed out of some kind of nostalgia-esque feeling.
-
-
-
-
Yeah, but if you don’t rush, and let it melt and amalgamate on your tongue it’ll be sweeter.
By the way, I love salt with dark chocolate. Or chilli with dark chocolate. These things lift the chocolate to amazing taste levels.
-
Chilli with dark chocolate? D:
Yeah, I was hungry so I just took a section of the block and ate it quickly :P. I had the little salt crystal thingies stuck between my teeth which is why I just tasted saltiness
-
Chilli with dark chocolate is amazing.
In fact, cherries, dipped in chilli chocolate, is one of the greatest things you’ll ever eat.
-
-
-
-
-
-
People put salt on watermelon!?
Why do I not know of these things!
-
All the cool kids do it.
-
But I’m a cool kid and I don’t do it!
Wait… this means I’m not a cool kid! 🙁
-
There are lots of examples where you add things which traditionally wouldn’t belong together. I know a place for example that does french toast (usually sweet with icing sugar and maple syrup and stuff) with tomato, feta and chorizo and it’s amazing.
Also ice cream flavours. Who would expect wasabi to make an awesome ice cream flavour? It does.
-
Wasabi ice cream!? O_O. I’ve never really eaten wasabi but once there was a teeny little bit of it on some sushi and it destroyed my mouth. I don’t think I’d be a fan of that flavour 😛
I know Asian countries use different flavours for some of their ice cream like green tea and red bean, rather than just the traditional sweet fruity flavours. They certainly have quite an interesting taste but I guess that just depends on whether you like it or not 😛
-
Wasabi ice cream doesn’t have the heat any more, the cream etc plus the fact it’s cold takes most of it away. It’s very nice. Not as nice as green tea though. I make it periodically, it’s actually not that hard (involves basically making a custard, folding cream into it, adding some maccha dissolved in water and churning it in an ice cream maker)
-
You should try it some time.
Just normal tablesalt? I have a feeling I’d screw it up and put too much salt on it 😛
Yes, Sodium Chloride. Sea salt is slightly better because table salt is iodized so has a subtly different flavour but any salt will work. The difference isn’t astounding (watermelon doesn’t have a strong taste anyway) but it is sweeter and the salt also adds a nice contrast as well.
Sounds like you’ve had crap watermelon D=
Most of the time we get watermelon it’s always tastes awesome.
I love salt with watermelon! But watermelon in summer is so good nom nom nom
Salt makes it better.
Mango with salt, chilli and lemon juice. They sell this on the street in Mexico. Amazing!!!
Agreed. Sea Salt in my experience is MUCH better. Only a little sprinkle though. 😛
So apparently Namco Bandai is merging its European and US groups into a single company. I wonder if this means that their hate for us in Europe will be reduced and we’ll start seeing their periodic JRPG releases in a timely fashion now, of if it means the hate will become universal and everyone will now miss out?
-
-
Hopefully the Director’s Cut rumors are true and we get that version.
Right now I wouldn’t mind Innocence R either, give me something other than Disgaea and PSP games for my Vita.
-
There’s rumours of a ‘superior’ version? Awesome 😀
Something tells me we might not get it though 😛
Any idea on how Graces sales were? Is there a PAL release date for that yet?
-
I heard that Graces sales were pretty good, better than Namco expected. But don’t know if that’s actually true.
Xillia is a really half-arsed release, forced out to make it to market on time for the anniversary. So there’s a lot of extra content that’s missing. For example, most of the characters have no alternative costumes, and the few that do only have 1-2. There’s no extra dungeon and there’s big areas which look to have been cut as well. Most importantly I believe there’s a playable character completely cut.
I think Innocence R also has some issues with being a bit of a rushed release, in that case it was rushed to be out in the Vita launch window in Japan. But I don’t think the amount of missing stuff is as bad as Xillia.
-
-

-
They should bring the rest of the Radiant Mythology games over too. And re-release the first one on PSN so I can buy it.
-
So, just completed Gigatrack. The positive part is that I’ve set myself an easy goal to beat, cause I screwed up a lot 😛
Also, my partner has just started giving Trials a go and seems to be having a good time. For those that don’t know, she doesn’t game that much/that well 😛
-
Gigatrack D:
How was it? I think mine was about 10 faults with 10 minute something… pretty average 😛
-
-
I’m using the Scorpion. The Phoenix drives me mad! 😛
Managed to set a comfortable personal record of 0 faults and 7:30.157 a couple of minutes ago. I almost had a panic attack because I thought I was going to fault right near the end. YES THAT IS HOW INVESTED I AM IN THIS GAME DON’T JUDGE ME.
-
Same here. The Phoenix just isn’t fast enough for me xD
So, you’re above me on the leaderboard now, aren’t you? I’ve got about 7:10 with 1 fault. -
In my game, the leaderboard goes FatShady, then me, then you, but I don’t have everybody on my friend list so I have no idea what the actual rankings may be…for example I don’t have Blaghman.
-
I AM BLAGHMAN! ADD MEEEEEEEE!!!! AAAAADDDDD MMMMMEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
-
-
-
How do you think I felt faulting twice, at the very end, at a really easy jump?
I almost exploded. If I had a decent camera I would show the damage this game has done to my left thumbstick…
-
It’s particularly frustrating when your bike is in the air and you realize ‘oh expletive, I’ve overshot this jump I should have slowed down QUICK ANGLE THE BIKE IN A RANDOM DIRECTION’.
-
I’m getting better at controlling it, but the moment anything’s going wrong, I have the “PANIC, PANIC ABORT ABORT ABORT!” response, where I hold the right trigger down as far as I can, and smash the thumbstick to the right. It’s such a bad response, because most of the time I could recover it by not sucking.
-
Yep, Scorpion.
The Phoenix barely has enough speed on a certain ramp/jump so it’s really not ideal for it… (as I discovered after not being able to make the jump)
In HD I use the Phoenix for everything that I could and I tried to do the same in Evo. Hopped on the Scorpion for the medium tracks and insta-win. So much easier to control…
11:45 with 16 faults. I just went in, did it and moved away. At a rough guess, I think I could managed 9:30 with 0 faults once I’m good at it, which puts most people above me still, but eh 😛
-
0 faults should get you under 9 minutes 🙂
Most of the extra time is from the faults since the checkpoints are so far apart 🙁
Greenius,
I tweeted you but in case you didn’t get it, it was A Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey.
-
-
Oh wow. So much demands and pressure. 😛
Today. Tried yesterday but the post office I was at were out of the smaller boxes so I went to a different one today. It’s on it’s way.

Good news! I sent it via registered post so I have a tracking number for you.

You’re stalking me =O
j/k but yeah, I’ll let you know as soon as it arrives -
I’m not stalking you! It’s completely normal behavior to Google Earth everyones addresses you are given. All the guys at the support group do it!

Oh really?
Well this should speed things up for you!

Shit mang, Canberra is all wild and stuff…trees everywhere!
-
It’s one of the reasons we’re called the Bush Capital.
(The other main reason involves prostitutes, just to clarify.)
-
Interesting!
What’s the people like over there? Bunch of bogans? Stabby scary type?
From what I’ve gathered they seem alright. Unlike those scary Sydney folk…
-
Hmm, They’re bogans, with cash, not to be confused with cashed up bogans. And actually, we’re the most educated/ theoretically smartest city in Australia(or capital, or something), so a lot of people have minor superiority complexes, but in general people just keep to themselves… Very insular.
-
Anyone from Melbourne gonna drive up to Canberra for Blaghman’s meat? 😛
NotoriousR?
-
I don’t think Notty boy will drive up, but I think F4ction is considering it(though he’s Geelong), and I’m hoping to convince others. Because I’m awesome.
-
I totes wanna attend all the meats and stuff but I have no money or licence/car (or that much free time).
I’m also scared I’ll get stabbed/raped 🙁

Reading through the EULA for Mortal Kombat (don’t ask why, I’m not sure either) my eye was caught by this line;
“Because WB Games would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this agreement were not specifically enforced”
Way to be over dramatic.
-
speaking of Mortal Wombat, did you get a key for the online pass thing in your case?
I cant even remember if I had one or not.-
-
i think so. the online option in the menu seems to be grayed out for me.
which is a shame, coz I wanted tobeat Rufflebergplay online.-
some random internet people recon that the Komplete ed. doesnt need the online pass.
We’ll see….Source : http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=471360

#TMITuesdays
If you ever get an email from me that ends with “Sent from my iPhone” I’m most likely pooping.
-
-
Haha, I think an exception was the chain email happening for mono-meat. My phone would just go off constantly that it was quicker to just reply there than log in online.
Hey at least you didn’t get any of those today while I was helping you haha. Did you get it going in the end? I completely forgot I had a meeting this afternoon.
-
Not yet. I had to run off to a tutorial.
-

If you get poop on your phone using it on the toilet then you’re doing something horribly wrong.
-
Not necessarily. You’d be both amazed and disgusted at the amount of fecal matter coating every surface in your bathroom.

and toothbrushes. that shit just loves toothbrushes.
remember that next time your using one. -

I always keep my toothbrush in the drawer in a feeble attempt to prevent this… and the toilet isn’t even in the same room as the sink! 😛

That’s an urban myth.
Dear RPGs,
Multi-stage final boss battles that don’t heal you up in between.
Why.
There is a fine line between challenge and tedious cheapness.
Cheesed off regards,
A cheesed off Bish.

Sad high five.
Currently on Devil Survivor 2. Radiant Historia also did this.
Just… argh.
A battle of endurance nay give satisfaction upon completion, but I don’t think the frustration up until that point quite balances it out. Especially if you fail st some point of the battle. Because then it’s just another slow trek “Start off at phase 1, here’s phase 2, oh boy another phase after that”. Make it hard, make it punchey, but please don’t make it irritatingly long. -
-
-
A sensible response would be to use your potions then.
But god no, even if it’s the last battle, you never know when you might need them. YOU MIGHT NEED THEM!
-
-
-
-
More accurately, the game has no item system.
So yeah.
Woo. -
Oh dear. Can you bail out, and spend six hours grinding? That’s what I do when I fail something twice…
-
I’d much rather hop to another game and be distracted by that, to be honest.
-
Xenoblade!
-
-
-
I quite like the multi-stage boss fights. 😮 It’s the last challenge against the big baddy! He ain’t going down in one hit, son!
ps. So does that mean you hate the Elite 4!? Disowned.
-
I was a bit annoyed with Final Fantasy X.
My Khimari was super OP & one hit KO’d everything, including the final bosses.
I had to just leave him out of my party coz it was just a bit rubbish. -
The Elite 4 is a series of different characters you are forced to fight consecutively, but you are able to take a breather in between, and don’t you also have the option to bug out if you so choose (I don’t know because I have always smashed the Elite 4 BECAUSE I AM THE POKEMON MASTER. I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST, LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS, DUN DUN DUN DUN).
This boss is just one guy. Changing his form. Once. Then twice. With no moments pause. Though I imagine it is somewhat part of the point, I don’t think giving you 2 battles to wear you down to a crippled state for the ultimate boss form is particularly good boss battle design.
Personal preference, I suppose.-
Nope, you can’t quit once you start. Gotta get right through or lose (and only losers lose)
Speaking of the pokemons, I started playing through White again. Got myself a nice mono-fighting team that going to rip through the elite 4, N and Ghetsis like a…. 6-man team of martial arts experts ought to
-
I’m planning to play through White2 with a mono-Bug type team. I’ve wanted to do it for ages but have always chickened out. 😛
-
I did Platinum with a mono-steel tem that worked well. Obviously that was a lot more defensively orientated. This fighting team just tears through the opposition. A mono-bug team would be cool. I’m interested to see what (if any) new pokes they bring to the new games
-
Look at you cool kids with your one-type play throughs! Now you just make me want to play them again >:(
I usually just play through the story once and that’s it :P. I’ve owned a copy of at least one game from each generation except Black/White and I obtained a naughty copy. Was planning to pick up ‘Grey/Gray’ but that ain’t happening… :/
-
I attempted a play-through of HeartGold where I had 3 Castforms (called Sunny, Rainy and Haily xD I’m sure you can guess what they each did). I got bored and gave up…
-
I want to do a mono-ice run but you can rarely catch enough of them until late in the game 🙁 Unless I breed a bunch of eggs of what I want and trade them to myself
-
-
I think I’ve only failed the Elite 4 once. I was so ashamed I restarted the game before losing. xD
I see where you’re coming from though. I agree it’s annoying when the boss is cheap. Out of curiosity though, what are some of your favourite final bosses? I actually can’t think of any games I’ve recently played that DIDN’T have a multi-stage one. 😛
-
Aw man, ain’t that a question.
– Final Fantasy 6: Kefka. Multi-stage boss, yes, but you got to cycle through all of your characters to fight him. ALL OF THEM.
– Persona 3: Nyx. IIRC, 2 stage, but you couldn’t lose the final bit. Memorable for the music and emotional attachment, but its first form had a fairly good incorporation of game mechanics in it; with him having a signature move for each Arcana. That said it was also a long battle of attrition, so it loses marks for that.I suppose it is somewhat ironic that the 2 most memorable boss battles are multi-stage.
But still, they just have those extra bits that overcome it to be so good. -
And I’ve played neither of those. Looks like I have some homework! …I’m still trying to figure out a game I have that doesn’t have a multi-stage boss. Methinks I play too many RPGs and/or Nintendo games.
No wait, Portal 2! Ah, that’s better. Now I can sleep.
Damned public holiday.
I’m still at work at 7:45pm because the holiday tomorrow means I’ve got one less day to get shit done for our monthly release. 🙁
-
-
Yes. And then the fuckers cancelled my morning meeting that I’d had to reschedule everything around and I could still go to the meat if I hadn’t moved a morning appointment.
I’m going to see if I can move it back actually. If I can I will come meating.

Nah don’t go then, I won’t be there. Batmang meat perhaps?
Batman at the Batmang meat, shit would be magical.

umm…….
you have to audition for a play about transgender albino midgets finding their inner-self on a road trip across the dark heart of australia? yeah. its written & directed by *mumble something inaudible* yeah. independant director. very arthouse. not many people have heard of her. well, I say ‘her’ but she’s had the operation you know? but I will admit, sometimes it can be hard to tell when she’s hidden behind all that beard. but thats ok, coz the entire message of this play is that we should all be accepting of others, regardless of who they are. & I’ve gotta go & be a part of this important work.
unless… you dont let me go.
…why? dont you want peace & acceptance between all people? huh? what the hell is wrong with you? oh god. you are the worst & most evil boss / partner / whatever ever. *storm out*-
well… that went places I was not expecting.
either way, just remember that monologue & quote it verbatim. oh & steadily raise your voice til you’re just flat out shouting at the end.

Bloody Canberra.
I remember back in the middle of ’09, there was one day where it didn’t go above 5 degrees for most of the day (around 3pm it warmed up, hit about 9 as the maximum…), and I had an exam in the large, and cold, school hall. That was not fun.

“I might play some Dark Souls” Bish thought to himself, “But where is my disc?”
“In the case, of course”, and he reached over to Batman: Arkham City’s case, opening it, to find Dark Souls.
He then proceeded to eject No More Heroes from his PS3, and placed that disc in the now vacant Arkham City case.
One day my old man memory will kick in, and I will open up Yakuza 5 and see Fall of Cybertron and be all “Wat.”
-
“I wonder where I am”, Bishington pondered as he stood at the bonfire.
He slowly climbed the sand dune he was sitting on and looked into the distance.
His gaze was met with a 9-headed Hydra just chillin’ in its little pond area.
“NOPE.JPG” Bishington said, and started legging it in the opposite direction to the Hydra.-
-
Are you in the ash lake area?
I remember being molested by mushrooms there and a hydra thingie guy

This is like the time I turned on my old Xbox 360 I hadn’t used in two years and found my Bayonetta disc in it. I didn’t even know it was missing!
For a while there, I forgot what day it was. I thought this kind of thing only ever happened when you were on holidays.
I was excited by the idea of having tomorrow off (I have been back at uni for two days and already look forward to any break I can get) but then my lecturer decided we would have an online tutorial! Which means more work than usual because I can’t hide behind my classmates on the internet! This is all kinds of terrible. I’ll feel so…unAustralian.
Also, monomeat! I’m probably going to go into kinokuniya beforehand and buy all kinds of useless junk because I love that place.
-
How good is Kinokuniya? Most of the time I don’t even buy anything. Just gaze longingly. I don’t think I’ll have time before the meat though. 😮

All this Trials talk makes me wish I had the ability to buy it 🙁

Won an Isle of Conquest with 3mins 30sec before shutdown. Started the BG 14mins before shutdown haha.

That’s usually a guaranteed win for Alliance, they actually seem to be decent at it. Cause it’s mostly PVE.
Speaking of BG’s Twin Peaks last night, 10KB’s 0 deaths, topped the BG, fuck yeah! That’s like a huge achievement for me, usually I die every 2 minutes in a BG, haha.

Start playing ME3. First paragon action comes up, I press L2. Nothing. Hit it a few more times. Still nothing. Then I realize it’s L1 now.
Why?
There seem to be a few things changed for no real reason besides change. It makes me grumpy.
Plus they seemed to have replaced my Shepards head with a potato.
-
I don’t really get the thought process behind changing the face imports. I get that they overhauled the graphics engine and updated all the textures, but the amount of (deserved) criticism from people upset that their Shepard looks completely different, and can’t *ever* be returned to the original look, surely outweighs the benefits of having shinier face models (I won’t even mention that I actually prefer ME2’s graphics, especially the faces).
And if they hadn’t changed the face models and people complained about them looking bad, a simple explanation about wanting to preserve players’ characters would’ve been fine, surely? I’m kinda wondering how nobody at Bioware picked up the gigantic problems in importing, given how frustrating it must be for people with custom Shepards.
… well, I finally cracked.
I just bought a framed South Park poster.

Ahaha, watching second season of Web Zeroes and they’re talking about going viral on the net with a video and it needs boobs and one of the characters Nate said they could have a contest like “Boob Idol” or “So You Think You Have Jugs” i’d totally watch said shows if they existed.
-
-
-
-
It’s so true.
-
We have my character on DC:UO to thank for that.
It’s a miracle she didn’t stack it every few seconds.
-
Sounds like she needs a breast reduction!
-
How could she fly! Also, it’s like hiding in plain sight. Creepers will just think you’re one of them with a name like that and not bug you. Oh, god. WoW had some…interesting people on there.
-
Oh god, imagine that in real life, you would be having trouble not nose diving XD
and WoW, yeah I learnt don’t name your female toon a RL female name, it can get creepy. Like when leveling my mage this dude whispered me and was asking if i’d be his girlfriend :S
Scary stuff. Now I just name my toons funny named based on their class.
-
Or just play dude characters 😛
-
I like my scantily clad blood elf! She’s so sassy.
-
Bro, you don’t wanna be staring at a male mages ass when he’s casting, i’d rather that shit be female!
-
-
I like my strategy. It provides cheap lols as well. I had a dude follow me around in game whispering like weird sex stuff. I think it went on for about 15 minutes. It was mostly just the same 2 phrases.
-
Hot damn! What a keeper. Sounds like this male belf hunter I came across on my mates server we’re playing horde on, he soon regretted trying to hit on us (all female belfs lolol) we harassed him for hours XD so much fun ^_^
-
That was you? Well this is awkward.

Haha, you tart Cakeman! Wait no that was us =P
That in no way was you, I would hope, this kid was saying (on a trial account lolol) he raids firelands with his level 95 friends every night and other stuff.

@ Greenius
When is the next iSketch night?
I keep missing them, but I want to play again some time.
-
Whenever you want!
Possibly Friday/Weekend? Got some stuff I need to do throughout the week so I probably won’t be free until then 🙂
Just ask people to play when you’re up for it. There’s always a few TAYbies who wouldn’t mind a quick game or two 🙂
-
Eugh! What’s with all the sub 100 dollar 1155 socket motherboards being 90% mATX, my case fits full ATX damn it & I can’t afford to spend more than about 100 bucks on a motherboard >=[ Plus most mATX only have 2 RAM slots, and 4 would be handy!
Though I think i’m going to change to this motherboard over my previous selection, I didn’t notice this one when looking before!
-
-
Nup! Because the laptop i’m using is borrowed from a friend and i’d like to give it back to her soon =P
Also just realised no onboard graphics with that motherboard, I don’t see a problem with that, unless said graphics card I have dies…
-
-
-
-
mATX boards fit into ATX cases fine.
The reason for it is just miniaturization. You can fit insane amounts of stuff onto even smaller motherboards, eg you can make a gaming PC off a Mini-ITX board if you really want.
-
So, uh, who’s Beefcake McNugget? Near as I can tell is that he is Shepards…live in partner? Makes it even more awkward that my Shepard is an old man.
Eugh what, Crysis 3 already?! I never got to finished #2 man! Not that I ever finished #1 either… I have issues with finishing video games it looks D=
Just got back from The Avengers. Gets a definite thumbs up from me, with one very large caveat.
It is ridiculously Whedonesque. Like, seriously. I think that that’s a good thing, but other people may get sick of the witty banter, and god there is a lot of it. However, the writing is sharp(I was genuinely laughing at some points), the special effects are fantastic(that massive budget had to go somewhere that wasn’t those ridiculously good looking actors), and the directing clearly comes from someone who understands which side of the camera does what(so, very little use of “SHAKY CAM” and when it was used, it was so for a good reason, fights avoided the Jason Bourne style of hiding their incoherent choreography with quick cuts, and opted to make it fairly clear what was happening, mise en scene was used well, though a little blunt at times(as was Chekhov’s Gun)). Also, not terrible in 3D(similar quality, maybe slightly better than Thor and Cappy A), but I’d probably prefer it in 2D.
My friend who was not a big comic fan(I’m not sure he’d actually seen any of the previous films…) enjoyed it, so that’s a plus.
Oh, and Mark Ruffalo(Bruce Banner) was fantastic, in my opinion.
So yeah, waiting for a few others to see it, so I can discuss it, and I’ll definitely go see it again so I can make snide comments up the back.

I didn’t watch Touch on Sunday night because I was busy but I watched the encore of it last night and found it surprisingly good. I really liked how they connected all the different story elements together. If anyone recalls I made a post a while back about how life is predetermined because everything is connected and this show’s sort of based on that whole concept. I’m enjoying having a visual representation of what I was talking about playing out on screen for me to sit back and watch.
Did anyone else watch it either on Sunday or last night and if so what did you think of it?

I’m getting a bit better though! From night before to day before to a few days before.

I’ve been watching my friend play Skyrim and it is fairly common to hear different characters with the same voice actor. It’s jarring to hear the same handful of voices over and over again and it really breaks the immersion.
I know hiring actors is expensive but why didn’t Bethesda get fans to do some voices? I’m sure there are plenty of people who would be willing to travel to their offices and do some recording and all Bethesda had to do was provide some food and drinks.
The fans don’t have to record any spoiler laden scenes, they could just help with the incidental dialogue.
Oh well, if wishes were horses…
P.S.
Morning TAY.

Have you ever heard someone who has no experience trying to act, or voice act?
It’s terrible.
People think that they can emote on cue, but they really, really, can’t.
-
They could always do a ‘competition’ of sorts to get a bunch of people who would be willing to do it for free. I’m sure plenty of people wouldn’t mind having their voice in a big-budget video game 🙂
And this way they can see who will be good and take only the ones they want. Someone tell them about this!
-
A competition would be great. Alternatively, Bethesda could team up with a uni where final year acting/voice acting students do some voice work for a big budget game. A win win for everyone, Bethesda gets cheap/free voice talent and the students get some experience.

And also, Greenius. Not NovaCascade or NoobHeadshot though, they hate fun.

Those who Xenoblade, Xenoblade. Xenoblade Xenoblade’s everybody who doesn’t Xenoblade. Therefore, Xenoblade can Xenoblade a Xenoblade, but only if a Xenoblade has Xenobladed another Xenoblade.
-
That was over 15 words.
I am disappoint.
-
Ohhh. I thought you wanted a story in 15 Xenoblades or less.
I should read things more thoroughly.
-

-
You could always… play it 😛
-
I will be tonight. Have to work this afternoon and I’d rather get set up for a few hours rather than be getting in to it and then have to leave

Hmm, might make more sense if you add “in tears” to the end of that.
Hmmmmmm.

If you met Sid you would agree he’s cute. Of course if you pat his head he will swing his bum around so you can scratch that. XD
-
Scratch the idea that he’s cute (as in ditch it)
or… scratch his bum? No thanks :/
You should see the Sid I know in real life. He has big googly eyes that sort of pop out. It’s scary.
-
That does sound Scary.
Scratch his bum =P He loves it.
-
-
-
16 words 🙁
But that opening seriously came out of nowhere for me… so sad! Just managed to hold in the manly tears… just.
That’s the way it’s gonna be little darlin’!
We’ll go riding on the horses, Ye-ah!

Hey Rocketman, Bohemian Rhapsody is totes on WSFM right now, and I’m singing it without you because STUFF YOU, YOU CAN SING WITH YOUR NEW SINGING BUDDY

I have a Queen greatest hits CD in my car at the moment. Whenever Bohemian Rhapsody comes on, headbanging starts near the end, Wayne’s World style.

I never met my Grandfather. He fought the Nazis in Italy, Egypt, South Africa and was a desert rat of Toobruk. He was a British soldier but he fought along the Anzacs. He survived, but with his issues as many men of his time did. He died before my brother and I were born from a massive heart attack.
I was told he was an exceptional carpenter, and if he’d still been around I probably would’ve continued doing woodwork.
In Year 9, we were studying World war II so our Teacher decided that we should visit the Altona RSL and speak to veterans. We were going to create a book about their experiences.
My partner and I were paired up with Reg. A world war II veteran and the only one part of the program. My partner had little interest in talking to Reg, but I enjoyed it. Once I’d asked the difficult war questions, we would talk about many different things. Dogs and others. I told him I was part of the Hyde street youth band which marched on Anzac day every year. He was a pleasant person to talk to, and reminded me of my elderly neighbour Roy, who is like a grandfather to me.
I searched around for war songs and found one that I could play. I took my trumpet with me to the RSL and told Reg I would play for him. It was incredibly nerve wracking because I had to not only play in front of Reg but also my peers. I had to play out the front of the RSL as well as it would disturb people if I played inside. I believe it made Reg happy.
Before the book was published, Reg died and we were invited to his funeral. My partner commented on how his grandson was hot, I found it disrespectful to Reg but I didn’t say anything. It was sad that he never got to see his stories published, but instead the book was dedicated to him.
I didn’t know him for very long, a couple of months, but he was a great bloke.
Sorry if this is too sad but I feel I have to get it out. I no longer march up to the shrine, but I still respect what they did for Australia.
-
-
-
Only sad if you choose to make it so. Why not see it as a fond recollection of the good times you had with someone? It sounds like that.
-
That’s true. I think that even when the project was finished I would’ve still loved to go back and talk to him. He was a nice guy and while some of my classmates found it boring, they had no idea of the opportunity they received.
-
-
-
-
I’ve known a few WWII veterans in my life, one being my grandfather & another being his mate that the family has known for over 50 years who passed away recently. I remember when I was young going to the dawn service here at Currumbin, for a few years with him & his army buddies, then to the local RSL for an awesome breakfast xD

-
I got biscuit as a 3 coin word. I didn’t understand why until I realised most people would guess “cookie”
-
Yeah you can’t really use the coin system to judge the difficulty of some words. Some 1 coin words can be a lot harder to draw than some 3 coin ones 😛
-
Dear those on my Facebook posting ANZAC day statuses and saying things like “I don’t support the military” bullshit before posting about the ANZACs, would you kindly fuck off with that shit. I do not care if you do or do not support the military. That just seems disrespectful to say that before being “respectful” as you think towards those who gave their lives.
Also why not support the military they have really proved themselves in this country when natural disaster hit us.
-
-
That’s horrible.
If you don’t agree with whatever the reason(s) were to go to whatever war that’s your opinion but ANZAC day isn’t about that. It’s about honouring the people that gave up their life for the safety and protection of others.
-
Yeah. I just don’t get how some people think it’s okay to say that shit then go on like they didn’t just disrespect everyone who is currently serving and has served Australia..
They also carry on like the military does nothing but kill people, and that pisses me off. Sorry! I go on a bit too much.

@ Strange from page 9 (yes, it’s been a while since I checked TAY)
I don’t usually get visably irritated when playing a hard game, but ever since the age of the wireless controller, if there’s something tense going on (boss battle in Souls, for example), I’ll get up and walk around the room while playing.
@ Everyone else, HI ALL! Hope your public holidays are going all right!

I can’t imagine walking around the room, although I do sit forward and on the edge of my seat in Souls boss battles.
Hi all! o7 Servicemen and women.
So I am on Tay instead of doing my cosplay.
I really hate pinning so much I’d rather do anything nearly.
-

It’s cute and all in the day time… but if that thing was running towards me in a darkened alley at night I would poo myself.

She’s in Victoria. It’s not weird for her to follow AFL.
You on the other hand should be ashamed to call yourself a Queenslander.
-
I follow all sports man, AFL, NRL, Rugby, soccer and cricket. I enjoy them all. I just like AFL the best.
-
High 5’s Rocketbuddy. Can’t believe how good a start the swans are having.
-
The have had a fairly easy string of games though. I mean t the roos are pretty good but they aren’t super top teir side. But beating the dockers was pretty good. Still its a very promising start
-
The real test will be Hawthorn this week. If we can get over the line against them, I think we’ll be looking at a good season
-
-
-
Its okay. I don’t really care what sport people are into. I just like ribbing AFL fans. I’ve found as a general whole they are far more touchy and defensive about the game then other fan bases.
-
Only because we want everyone else to acknoledge that our sport is clearly superior 🙂
-
Hah that is nothing when it comes to NRL and my hometown, its basically suicide if you rip on the local team.
-
But the Cowboys are terrible? They should just give up and go home.
This coming from a Titans supporter. Like I can talk.
-
They are pretty bad alot of the time, its sad because they have a lot of talent.
-
-
I wouldn’t think so. Everyone in TAY are lovely people.
-
Amen brother.
-
I’m sure that person called name is one though!
-
The team itself aint that bad but the supporters… oh the supporters…
Just looked up the score. Only 1 point in it. I imagine thats the closest ANZAC day match in a long time
-
-
-
-
i just wikipedia’ed it before and you are right good sir. It was a while ago now.

Mass Effect 3. I declared myself on holiday seeing as Mr. Strange has the rest of the week off work and locked myself in the bedroom so I could play it with no distractions. I have a couple of things to stay but I’ll rot13 them just in case they’re overly spoilery.

If you’re already mostly finished the game, then I wouldn’t see the point of paying for it, but for right at the start of game I found it useful and definitely interesting.
And I think Muscles McManboobs is not picky. 😛

Yep. He also has a *lot* of extra dialogue on the Normandy and on certain plot missions that give a really good insight into some of the background of the universe.

Still haven’t convinced my wife I have a reasonable excuse to go down. All those ones I was given didn’t work and #35 has ensured I’m sleeping on the couch for a good long while.
-
So…how about those video games?! Thinking I might play some mindless hack’n’slash game. Stabbing things seems like a relaxing idea right now.
-
-
-
I was going to suggest God of War but Jugsy doesn’t have a PS3 does she?
😛 Dante’s is pretty much a GoW clone so give that a go. I liked the demo but I heard the full game was a bit eh. Should be cheap by now as well 🙂
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is super awesomes but I’m not sure if you’ll like it.
-
You don’t need to like it.
You just need to listen to the amazing voices of Robert Carlyle and Patrick Stewart.
-
-
-
-
dang it. i stuffed up my knitting and had to unravel it all. Bugger, oh well.
Knitting round two!
…
After cosplay =P
-
-
-

I’m amazed you’re using that yourself XD
-
I’m a MEME. How am I supposed to not like that?? 😛

You make a valid point

Following on the theme of me being the blurst, I’m gonna say right now that I’m actually fairly keen to see what the CoD reveal will be. Even if it is just Blops 2.
-
You know for the longest time I used to think Blops was a game that consisted of Blobs that made a sound like “blop”
TAY!
HI!
I R LEARNING SEWING LINING. Woo.
Seriously though, I am learning a lot of stuff. =D
I should really try to fix up my Taokaka costume to make it Guinness world record ready
-
-
Yeah but now I’m kind of torn. I should be working fixing my Tao costume but I don’t really have the materials for it though.
-
Where do you get your ideas from? Do you play the game and go “Man i would look awesome as that character?”
-
Pretty much yeah. I also check to see whether it suits my body type. No point cosplaying a tall person when I am short. Another thing I look for is how easy it could be
-
Or you could cosplay it ironically? For instance i think you would make a lovely Ganadorf 😛
-
Just imagined scree as Ganondorf lol
I’ve never seen a female cosplay as him… I wonder why!?
-
Well, could be but you wouldn’t know
-
I think scree should cosplay as Ugh Zan III.
-
who?
-
I just googled it, appears to be some sort of alien thing 😛
-
How then? XD
-
Final boss of Serious Sam. Is about 50 stories high and has 4 arms.
-
-
-
AHAHA, was just in this instance on WoW and this Texan was having a whinge at me and this dude from Frostmourne, about whatever and he was rather butt hurt so him & his buddies kicked me, because they couldn’t get their way in a game. Too funny.
-
-
-
-
Yeah, he claimed he was 21, had a girlfriend but was home alone at like 2am drinking & playing WoW whilst harassing randoms on the internet..
-
I’m 28, married with two kids and a mortgage and I’m frequently up at 2am drinking, playing games and harassing internet strangers.
-
Yeah, but I like you 😀
There is a difference!
-
-
-
-
-
No no, not a terrible person gosh! He tried to call me a douchebag though & I responded with “No no, I sound like a c**t, get it right!”
-
-

Man, the formatting on the verge website is just beautiful and perfect for long form features. I’m not a huge transformers fan but all the pictures are great and the quality of this feature is really good.

3DS home screen is nice and organised now that we finally have folders! I kinda wish you could give the folders a 3-letter caption though instead of it defaulting to one. I have two “G” folders for Gameboy and Gameboy Advance. It’s mildly annoying!
-
-
Ah, sorry for the confusion. 😛
The one letter labels are just what you see on the folder icon. The full title is displayed once you hover over it. “GBA Games” just gets shortened to “G” for the icon. I meant to say I’d rather have smaller letters but be able to fit “GBA” on the actual icon.
-
-
Oh shit, I meant to do that Sunday night and got distracted. I had forgotten, sorry man. Thanks for reminding me I will do that right now!
-

Just money/uni problems. It’s just wearing me down not being able to afford going in some days and then stressing about it and it just becomes this massive shit hole.
I’m terrified of failing anything ever so I’m really hard on myself when I’m writing an essay, I get super anxious, and the only advice I get it ‘Just don’t think about it’ and then get told that my uni stress is ridiculous and retarded and it’s so simple for everyone else that I should have no problem with it which then just makes me feel like a nutcase and gah.
Calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean.
-
-
YES, PLEASE.
You can also serenade me 😀
-
It’s stupid. And I know it’s me being whiny but I was brought up being told ‘You’re just not a school person’ by my parents for whatever reason so at 21 I’m completely retraining my brain and it’s difficult. And then one someone says ‘Hey, it’s easy. What’s wrong with you?’ it makes you feel like crap.
/vent
-
-
-
=(
These people that say its retarded and ridiculous, I am betting they don’t have the same things to worry about? Even if they do, I wouldn’t be listening to them. Everyone deals with stress differently, to tell someone not to worry about could be bad advice.
Anyway, sorry. Been there myself worrying about not being able to afford things and such.
As Jordi offered, would another hug help?
-
All the hugs!
It’s mostly my BF. He actually didn’t fair to well his first time in college because he didn’t really care about it so yeah. Also, probably the last person you want calling you crazy o_O
On the job front, have you had any more interviews?
-
Hugs rock \o/
I was also like that at TAFE especially in Web Design, since I didn’t know like 70% of the stuff we were being taught already (unlike my previous 2 TAFE courses) and I would tend to slack off with my mates every class & then come time to do assignments i’d freak out i’d fail and it would be a waste of money for the year. But luckily I some how managed to pull of several distinctions & credits o.O
Job wise, nah, still waiting for JB to even tell me that I didn’t get the job, the guy who interviewed me said i’d be informed either way. Though Freeze informed me that Mister Minit in the area was looking so send in ALL the resumes \o/
But anyway, TAY is here for you so always feel free to vent!
-
Best of luck with the job hunting! Hopefully something awesome turns up soon.
-
Thanks 😀
As my teachers at TAFE said, all the IT places are stupid to not want me!
-
-
Just take a deep breath when you get stressed out. Adding stress on top of uni troubles will just lead you down a never ending rabbit hole i.e. you’re stressed so you don’t perfom well, you don’t perform well so you stress out and so on and so forth. Just remember to take a deep breath, walk outside or just clear your mind.
Ok let’s try it:
Breath in
Hold it in
Hold it…
Now breath out slowly.
Feeling better?
Also if you can’t afford to make it to uni on some days, make sure you get the lecture notes online and at least try and attend the tutorials to discuss stuff with your classmates and tutors.
-
Thanks, Masha 🙂 Yeah, I always go to the tutorials – need those participation marks and I do enjoy them.
-
You’re welcome.
i’m sure it’s already been talked about, but oh well
but i saw the avengers midnight screening last night/this morning!
and may i just say that the movie was better than my already high expectations i had of it, just some scenes were just, whoa.
seriously, if you guys like superheroes in any way, see that movie

◤MELBOURNE TAYBIES! ◢
Sarcasm Fairy and I are having lunch this Saturday and eating delicious lindt cafe goodies. Did anyone still want to eat delicious chocolate?
-
-
-
-
Oh man.
There totally is.
Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.Are you coming, Mashaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
-
Yup. I’m 99.5% sure I’m coming.
-
And we will all yell MASHAAAAAAAAAAA upon your arrival.
-
Oh dear. Don’t make me any more nervous than I already am.
That being said if we are yelling MASHAAAAAAAAAAA, then it’s only fair that we yell everybody else’s name.
SO should we shout NovaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaCascaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade
or
NoooooooooooooooooooooovaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaCaaaaaaaaaaaaaSsssssscaaaaaaaaade.
-
Since we tend to shorten things down, the best system would probably just be to yell “NNNOOOOOVVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
-
At least I won’t have any trouble finding you guys. Just have to keep an ear out for a large group of people shouting usernames at each other.
-
I want to attend meats 🙁
One day, if and when I become rich, I’ll be flying to all the places, meeting all the TAYbies and buying ALL THE GAMES, FOR ALL THE PEOPLE
one day…
(that’s a lot of commas and I probably didn’t need all of them)
-
-
Go for Skyrim style and call him No’va…’kiin?
-
I laughed haha
applause.gif
-
-
That is because we are part of the #melbournemasterrace who arrange simple and inspired meats that aren’t anything like the overblown atrocities that occur in Sydney.
Also. Chocolate
So… I managed to find a copy of a book for uni, but the problem is that it’s an e-book….
🙁
I just bought it so I could say that i read it, anyway.
Dear Sony: please consider redesigning the PS Vita’s charger cable. It is easily possible to insert it upside down, and it doesn’t charge up that way. I just had my system switch off due to lack of juice, while plugged in. /o\
-
Ya think they would’ve opted for a all in one USB Data & charging thingy, but nope, they still haven’t learnt >_>
-
While we’re complaining about Sony, why don’t they have 99c-$2 games on the VITA/PSN. The minis are overpriced for what they are. Charging a cheaper price for smaller games means more people buy the games.
Also I hope Sony redesigns the triggers on their next console. The PS3 triggers are decent for racing games but try playing any other game and it’s easy for your finger to slip off. Why did they change it from the PS2 design? At least on the PS2 I could rest my fingers on the groove under the trigger and I didn’t have to worry about broken trigger springs.
Sony: Great tech but there is always something wrong.
-
Oh those triggers are so annoying! I don’t like how they’re all springy and have resistance but it does give you more precision on certain games (racing ones) depending on how hard to press it (can’t think of proper terms to describe it). If your finger slipping off is the problem there’s these ‘guard’ things you can buy which add a little groove/ledge below it so your fingers won’t slip off 🙂
And about PSN mini pricing, I don’t buy them but wasn’t there some “Space shooter for $2” game that was totally more than $2 in Australia? :P. Kinda stupid…
-
Yeah, I remember seeing the space shooter for $2 game and it was almost $4. What?
-
-
I agree! Same goes for Nintendo, really. I’d buy so many old gameboy games on the eShop if they were 99c. 😛
-
Nintendo are really bad as well, they basically hold your nostalgia for ransom.
Nintendo: Hi son, want this copy of Mario?
Eshop customer: Sure, I loved Mario as a kid.
Nintendo: We’ll need your tears in a jar and your first born son.It’s not that drastic but they could be more flexible with their pricing.
-

-
-

-
-
\o/ kay so who wants free stuffs?!
-
-
-
I know I’m wasting electricity and it serves no practical purpose if I’m not using it, but I love leaving my PS3 on in the background and just listening to its consistent rhythmic hum.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
To make matters worse I own the earlier ‘FAT’ model which is not as energy efficient as the slim.
-
You leave it on purely for the hums? 😛
THINK OF THE ENVIRONMENT MAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! *gasp*
-
-
-
Yeah I use my computer for that 😛
I just pick whatever to download during the night so it remains on and I get to hear the humming and swooshing of the fan :D. Pretty lights too!
-
Or podcasts.
-
Listen to podcasts at night?
I used to listen to music (punk rock :P) but haven’t done that for a while.
Just as long as I hear something. It’s all weird and creepy when it’s all quiet and I swear I keep hearing things… :/
-
Yeah, usually something I’ve listened to before. Right now I’ve found the Hardcore History ones about the end of the Roman Republic to be really interesting and the guy’s voice is super soothing so I can actually fall asleep before 3am! 😀

When I was younger, I slept in the room right next to my parents, and my dad snores like…uh…something really loud (I can’t even metaphor right now oh my god). I can’t get to sleep if there’s an irregular noise, if there’s going to be any noise it has to be constant. So I’d always have a fan on in my room to drown out his snoring, because a constant hum actually helped.
Then, when I moved into this TOTALLY AWESOME ROOM at the other end of the house that is three times the size of my old room, I couldn’t sleep properly for several days because I was so used to having that fan on.
And then I found ten dollars.
-
Snores like a Snorlax?
-
Nah, a Snorlax snores in a funny way. Don’t they go like ‘Snoooooor….laaaaaaax’?
Because my dad doesn’t do that. He goes ‘SNNNNKKKKKKKKKK…KRRRRAAAAAAAAAAGAGGGGGLLLGGHHH’
…I don’t know how to write out snoring.
-
WHATEVER, MANG.
Also, your room sounds giant and I now hate you. I will continue to hate you from the shoebox that I live in.
-
D:
What can I do to make it up to you? I’ll be your dipping sauce bitch.
-
…this is a reference to something that I am not aware of.
-
Not important! It’s the sentiment that matters here.
Because dipping sauce is serious business.
-
Does that mean you’ll bring me salsa?
It’s the only good dip. Come at me, bro. I said it.
-
FUUUUU- How did I miss a Scott Pilgrim reference? I’m a terrible, terrible person.
-
My dad totally snores extremely loudly too!
Apparently I snore as well 😛
Oh, I would hate you. Years of struggling to get to sleep have conditioned me to hate people who snore.
All of my friends snore. I never wanted to sleepover at their places, ever.
Well if it’s anything I’m usually the last one to sleep and first to wake up 😛
The secret is to snore awesomely. My dad snores stupidly loudly, and while I accept that I snore, I am relatively quiet, and very consistent. My snoring’s relaxing!
At least according to my cousin, in comparison to his step-brother, so that’s GOOD ENOUGH!
It would certainly be impressive if one could train themselves to snore awesomely, I guess. 😛
Believe me, it’s a talent. Took me years.
Of doing nothing.
I do think of the environment and my power bill but sometimes the call of the ‘hum’ is too strong.
I do think of the environment and the power bill but sometimes the call of the hum is too strong.
You should hire a small child just to hum all the time.
Feed it a candy a day or something as payment.

-
I hope it’s a pirate.
Don’t worry, Crazyguy. I was there 4 hours ago. You didn’t miss anything.
-
Yeah, except for the epic space battle between the entire hipster armada and a fleet of space vampires. No, he missed nothing.
I wish there was a battle like that…

I was expecting more glitter cannons.
-
Well, the supposed theft of the glitter cannons is what started the war.
-
We refuse to comment on any “glitter cannon” theft, and in fact, to do so would be in violation of subclauses 17b, 28t, and 72c of the universal ratification act, 2012. We will also not respond to any further queries.

I’ve been texting this one person so much :O

Cortez: “My vagina doesn’t… Hey wait a minute!”

FRIGGEN LOVE SHAWSHANK!
I dunno about Avengers man… want to see it but don’t… I’ll wait for zee Blu-Ray.
Have you seen 12 Angry Men? <3 that
-
Dude…get out…just go…
The Avengers is a near perfect movie.
It is a masterclass in blockbuster film-making and screenwriting. Perfectly paced, it interweaves the multiple threads of its ensemble cast with seeming ease,something that few filmmakers achieve. Michael Bay take notes.
The script gives every character their moment to shine, as well as their own doubts and flaws and a distinctive voice and approach. Their character arcs aren’t as great as in previous movies, but the juggling of such massive personalities is no mean feat. The already established cast members are comfortable in their roles, with Black Widow and Hawkeye getting much more to do and Mark Ruffalo easily stepping into The Hulk role.
Most people will be watching it to see Hulk smash, Captain America throw his shield, Thor hammer people and Iron Man blow stuff up with his fancy metal suit, and on that level the film doesn’t disappoint. Infighting means you get to see the heroes turn on each other – Hulk vs Thor, Iron Man vs Thor… basically everyone vs Thor – but the final New York-levelling superbattle is an explosive extravaganza that peaks with a computer-aided moneyshot that goes from sky to street level and back up again, taking in every hero, without a cut.
The best thing about The Avengers is its wry sense of humour and perfect comedy timing. It’s the funniest film to hit cinemas in a long, long, time. It effortlessly and unexpectedly lands its hilarious punches, with some coming at the expense of its own absurdity – after all, these are grown-ups in weird costumes battling aliens. Having said that, the film takes its job seriously and is reverential to its various sources and characters.
-
Hmmm damn you Cakey! I haven’t been to the cinemas in ages so we’ll see what happens 😛 (been in hermit mode)
-
It is essentially the most expensive fan-fiction ever made.
-
-
FINE! I’ll go see it now instead of waiting for it to come out on dvd. Is that what you wanted?? >:(
😛Also, I presume it’s necessary to see Captain America, Thor and the Incredible Hulk before watching it? (I’ve already seen Iron Man 1 & 2)
-
I’ve only seen Iron Man and Hulk
Both were average to me 😛

They’re disallowed html!
It’s very strict here. We’re not allowed out past certain hours. Then there are the public beatings…

I’m pretty sure that’s because we have traits that are very Gremlin-like.
Last thing they want is for us to replicate… or worse still, become stronger!

People that were having trouble with ME3 face-importing, this thread could be handy?
-
The problem I’m finding with it is less the face and more the head. It seems like they have changed the model and the head itself is the wrong shape.

Also, I couldn’t get very far into that thread, people’s signatures were getting slightly spoilery.

Drama on TeamSpeak last night. Might as well address it here.
The whole issue of people moving to other rooms while playing a game came up. I’m in favour of it. There are normally about a dozen people lurking in the channel these days and more often than not, there’s also a LoL game of some description going on. It’s basically impossible for those who aren’t playing the game to have a conversation because they’re constantly interrupted or talked over by those in game. Not only that, it’s hard not to feel excluded when there’s a group of people having a conversation about something right there which you cannot be a part of. It’s like hanging out with a group of friends, watching a movie and then calling someone else so they can hear you guys talk about the movie.
We used to have people wander off into different rooms if they thought that their multiplayer fun would get in the way of thing. These days, not so much. We seem to have fallen into the habit of saying “no, it’s okay, we don’t mind” so people don’t even ask if they should go into a different room.
This has been interpreted as me giving the LoL players a hearty fuck off, what with me being the one regular who doesn’t play LoL.
It’s not.
I just think that we need to do something in TS about this because it does get in the way. All I think needs to be done is that people exercise some courtesy when they’re in a multiplayer game and think that if they are going to be constantly interrupting others when playing that they should go to another room, while they’re playing. Not “if you’re one of those filthy LoL players, begone from this sacred place!”
There was a suggestion of those not in game using the mute feature but there are a lot of problems with that.
First of all, the person being muted doesn’t know that they’re being muted. So the muter and the mutee are very likely to talk over the top of each other. Even more so when there are multiple muters and mutees. Not a problem for the muters, as long as everyone not in game mutes everyone in game, but those in game will not know that they’re muted and can hear those that have muted them. Meaning that they’re constantly being talked over.
Secondly, if you can’t hear someone, how can you know that they’re done with the game and that you can unmute them?
It seemed like a simple thing, having people use the other rooms on the server when they’re in a multiplayer game. It did not go down well and now I’m the asshole. Well, I’m always the asshole but now I’m a rather colossal asshole.
-
Always Drama when i am not around sigh
I agree with you though, i usually suggest we move because i don’t want to speak over people.-
That’s all that I was suggesting. If you think you’re going to speak over people, move to another room.
If you’re duo queueing in LoL, odds are you aren’t talking as much as a five person PvP. There’s probably no need to shift in that case. If I tried to teach you StarCraft, I’d think moving to another room would be a good idea.
Really, it should just be a judgement call but for a long time we’ve been erring on the side of “oh, nobody will mind” when maybe we should start going the other way, especially with so many people on TS these days.
-
Did someone really get mad, I usually don’t mind to much, its kind of annoying, but on the other hand if i want to have a proper conversation i might leave to go to a different so.
-
Some did, won’t name who
-
Oops.
-
-
Freyr’s mad at me for this. The whole conversation started because I was talking to her about it and she jumped into a different room, sparking the whole “why did she leave?” thing.
Then while we were talking about things, Freyr and F4ction jumped into the LoL room, followed by everyone else who was in game (or about to be in game with them, not sure on that one), only to quickly jump back into the main room when someone came in to say hello because that’s apparently how they do things in the LoL room.
Sigh.
-
At one point you did say that general League of Legends discussion does exclude the non-players, making it hard for them to join in the conversation.
Valid point, but coupled with the suggestion that in-game discussion be moved and considering the fact that many of us talk about it heavily, though you didn’t mean it that way, it could have been interpreted as “Take your League talk outside of the main channel”. -
League is the main offender because it’s the game that the majority of people play in the server the majority of the time.
I’m only asking for in-game talk that interrupts other conversations to be moved. If it’s two people derping about in LoL or Mass Effect or whatever else is being played, nobody ever seems to mind. But you get enough people taking a game seriously and it’s hard for them not to dominate the conversation.
-
Yeah but I think this is what annoyed Freyr. What you’re saying sounds like “come to TS all, everyone’s welcome in (except LoL people)”.
TBH I think if we were constantly confined to a room for LoL I would just not log into TS because I would have to constantly “channel-hop”. I join TS to talk/listen to EVERYONE not just LoL people.
-
I dunno, many a time I have been about to say something when peeps in a LoL match shout out something over me and I’m all “well I’ll just STFU then”
I play LoL too but while I agree moving to another channel – just for the duration of the match – would be a bit annoying, it is the courteous thing to do. -
I hope you realise that’s not what I’m saying. I’m just asking that people be aware of the others on the server and if your conversation is going to interrupt theirs, that you should move to another room. Channel hopping really isn’t that big of a deal. All of the regulars used to do it all of the time.
-
-
And as I said last night, that’s fair enough.
I’m just saying it could have come off that way. -
I’m just clarifying.
-
Wait, so this comment seems to imply that us being in a LoL area, jumping in to the main areasay hi then jumping back to LoL is somehow an issue also?
At least, it comes off that way. When will pixelated text convey things accurately?
You guys went off to the other channel while the conversation was still going on. Then someone comes online and you all jump into the main channel just to say hi before going back to the LoL channel.
You don’t think it came off as you guys making a rather petty point about not being wanted in the main channel?
As Bish was saying, It’s all well and good that you meant no harm but last night it sounded like “LoL people need to STFU and GTFO of the main channel”. Forgive me but when someone tells me to STFU & GTFO I do get pretty annoyed.
I wasn’t saying that and I’ve been trying to clarify that I wasn’t saying that. If you guys had stuck around, maybe that would have been clearer.
We left because we got asked to go to another area.
We pop in to say hello to friend
We go back as we’re about to start our game.
You complain that we channel jumped to say hello to a friend.
I saw it as us doing exactly what we got asked to do
Replace ‘asked’ with ‘told’.
You weren’t told. I was trying to discuss if it should be done.
No.
You guys left mid conversation without saying anything. It was pretty clear that everyone wasn’t on the same page about what was being said, even now that this is being type out here.
I was describing what happened and it was pretty clear to me that Freyr (at the very least, and judging by what NoobHeadshot has said here a few others) were mad at me for suggesting they “STFU and GTFO”.
If there were a group of people you know are mad at you all just leave the conversation suddenly, only to pop back in for a second and then disappear again, how would you interpret things?
The discussion was not resolved. Do you think a “okay, well, we’ll just head over to the other room to play LoL” would have been that hard?
“No.”
I’m mad at you for insulting me every time we’re both on TS, fobbing it off as “all people are jerks so it’s k” (paraphrased, but only slightly). This is just the unfortunate straw that broke the camels back.
Either way, this is a drag, mang. I’m going to take a seriously long break from Kotaku and TS until everything is done and dusted since I’m clearly causing issues. EVE and LOL friends, I’ll see you ingame.
Sorry to all who had to read this thread.
I don’t insult you every time we’re on TS. I make sarcastic remarks to everybody about every thing. It’s never personal. Never. Do you know the difference between when I do it and when Blaghs does it? It stands out less because he’s more often involved in the conversation because he’s often playing the games with you.
I’m on the outside of the conversation so all you hear are those remarks. When I’m actually a part of the conversation and not being constantly cut off by people in game, I know that I come off as much less of a jerk.
You can interpret it as me insulting you. I don’t care. I’m not. It’s not because I think everyone’s a jerk, because strange as it sounds, I’m actually rather optimistic about people in general. Just rather sarcastic about it.
If you feel like you have to leave over this, fine. I was just trying to raise an issue that you happen to be on the other side of. It’s not an attack on you. Nothing I ever say around here is an attack on anyone. If it makes you feel any better I could lay into you. I don’t particularly want to and the last time I did publicly caused a bunch of friends to ask me if I’m okay.
Yes, I’m a dick. I play up that part and somewhat revel in it because I thought that helped make it clear that I don’t mean it.
“Always Drama when i am not around sigh”
Hahaha, little buddy, it’s you’re forgetting the times when you’ve created the drama!
I thought we did generally change rooms? At least the last time I was on which was admittedly a while ago.
-
These days, only if there are multiple games going on at once and even then it doesn’t always happen.
The other day, we had people playing DotA2 and people playing LoL in the main channel. It wasn’t pretty.
I’m with you on this one bunny. Peeps go to other channels while playing other games, it just used to be that almost all the peeps in the main channel were the LoL players anyway. Now that more and more peeps are TSing though there are more convos going on to get disrupted by in game chat, LoL or otherwise.
-
Ahahaha, I imagine if he did ever cry, they would be the greatest tears the world could ever taste.
Sustenaaaaaaance -
-
-
Bunny it is our right as admins to try and maintain a welcoming atmosphere to all players joining in on the server, not just LoL players, so I do agree with you. I made the suggestion that anybody going into a game with other people on TS should switch channels, but if talking about it as a subject, I find that okay. It’s impossible for all of us to love one game, we all have different tastes as you know. There’s always going to be those left out cuz it’s not their cup of tea (E.g. last night with several members talking about EVE Online mechanics which I had no idea about, but they weren’t battling, just discussing), I think that changing channels happening ONLY when going into a game as a team is where the line should be drawn at. That way, we won’t really split up the community as badly as people might think, and channels are always open for others to visit and say hi/listen in on the action.
-
Dude, us being admin is just something that’s there. It’s not our server, we just happen to have the keys.
As far as I’m concerned, if people are going to talk others because they’re in game, it would be polite of them to move to another room. That’s about as far as it goes for me.
-
You are only admin because Fatshady wanted people to make sure no trolls were coming on. Besides that it isn’t really up to you to do anything more. We have ll been frequenting the channel for ages, nobody has a greater power over it.
-
-
Not trying to put you down or anything. Just got to remember that we’re only admins because somebody has to be.
If I had raised this topic and everyone else had said that they don’t see it as a problem, then I’d have just dropped it. I don’t see myself as having additional authority or say over things, just someone who can enact any changes that everyone else thinks is necessary.
-
-
You are the worst person on this site.
Your suggestion seems like common sense to me, but without having been there I cannot comment on the way that this suggestion was approached by any and all concerned.
I’m rather surprised at you guys. Is this what happens when you lump like, ten passive-aggressive people in a group together?
My clanmates/friends and I have a vent server together but we’ve never officially ground rules. We’ve got several channels named after different games and it was a given that if you were playing that game you’d hop in the channel. That way you don’t disturb others who are playing (especially if its hon/sc2 or some other serious game) but also you could tell at a glance what everyone was playing and hop in to ask to join the next round if you so wished.
Even if we’re playing games by ourselves we’d still sit in a channel all foreveralone.jpeg because it tells others what you’re playing.
also Bunny ur not an asshole for mentioning this.
-
I don’t think we’d need to go that far. Hang out in main chat, “oh, anyone up for a game? Great, let’s head to the mongooses”, return when done.
Really, it doesn’t seem like it should be that big of a deal. We used to jump into other channels all the time when playing games. Now we don’t and it can get irritating when trying to talk.
I was just trying to address this.
-
-
Yay /o\
-
-
-
Sure we’re on page 13 and this’ll not be read at all, but whatevs.
We don’t have ground rules either, last night Trjn just suggested people move. The interpretation of this idea has clearly varied.
I think part of the reason why League is such a big offender in regards channel talk is that it’s also a very big reason as to why TS has grown in the last, what, year or so? Early days, from what I gather, Qumulys and Blaghman playing Minecraft. Then Techy and Rocketman used to chat. And then I think Trjn and I joined around the same time. Then we hopped on the League of Legends gamewhatsits and people, frequent TAY posters and the not so frequent start playing it as a community game. Freyr, Nob and Mawt (as examples) weren’t always the most prominent TAY posters, but we’ve met them, essentially, through the game. Back when, it was a tad silly to have 4 people who were playing a game leave behind 2 other people (which, I know is part of the point you are making, because we are no longer that small). So I, at least, have been accustomed to game playing chat being part of the main channel.
Also, maybe there’s a leakover form the TAY environment, that all the conversations are just… there. I want to hear what everyone says regradless of who is in game and making others move means that I miss out. Whilst I understand the issue, it’s not an issue for me (Because I never have anything interesting to say so don’t say anything! Hah! SICK BURN) (Also, not saying that because it’s not an issue for me, it’s not an issue at all. When I’m out of League games, I don’t mind, but obviously when I’m in League games, I may not realise, so apologies to anyone who has been shut down by me saying IMMA TREE), so it feels devisive. Which, as has been covered in TAY before, feels like it’s against the nature of TAY, being all organised and all that jazz. No, TS is not TAY, but TS was somewhat born from the TAY community.
Just my thoughts.Also, Trjn, Harli’s right. You’re just an a-hole for completely different reasons, ohohohohohoh!
;D-

SCREW YOU ROCKETMAN
-
Me too \o
-

As great as it would be to be able to have everything together in one place, it’s a logistical nightmare once you reach a certain amount of people.
Verbal conversations between large groups of people are a nightmare in meatspace when you have non-verbal cues for when you can talk. Complicate things by having people have multiple discussions going at once and you’re going to get people talking over each other or people feeling like they cannot speak up because the opportunity isn’t there.
It’s a fault of the medium. I would have thought the mature thing to do is address it before it becomes a real problem instead of just an irritation.
-
Ayup.
-
And I know this isn’t being read by anyone who needs to read it, but this is not and has never been an attack on those who contribute to the problem.
Yes, I don’t like League of Legends. I’m sick of being surrounded by it, even my meatspace friends play and talk about it all of the time. If I had a problem with you guys because of it, I wouldn’t keep hanging out on TS. I go there in spite of all the LoL-talk.
Me voicing my displeasure about LoL isn’t an attack on you guys for liking it. At most, it’s a call for attention asking to be involved in something else. You should remember, I’m not actually passive-aggressive, so don’t interpret what I’m saying that way.
-
I can read your stuff if I want to, you’re not my real dad!

So I am gonna go to the avengers on Saturday. I am going to wear my batman Shirt and My batman shoes and try and convice some friends of mine that batman is going to be in the movie. I think i might have some fun with this. I would have even more fun if i wasn’t always the nerd in the group.
-
I thought you said ‘batman skirt’ and I had an ‘oh rocketman’ ready to roll out.
Disappointing.
-
-
-
-
It would be unfair for everyone not to show off my goods. Otherwise what does everyone have to look forward to in their pathetic lives.
-
Please tell me there is an actual bat-thong involved – skirt or no skirt.
-
Hey Laydeez! Come and slide down the Batpole!
-
That’s the best way to get Batwarts

The public holiday has put me all out of whack.. i thought today was monday and was about to point out “hur hur Elly messed up TAY by posting last weeks!!!”
I need coffee…
Also… Essendon losing by a single point… CRUSHING!
But still, i am completely impressed by our efforts against Collingwood, especially with all the injury issues we’d been having – i honestly wasn’t expecting a win, especially with how much stronger CW are on Anzac day matches.
Hopefully Essendon can keep up the good work and stay in the top 8 this year! 😀
-
One thing that has been grinding my gears about AFL coverage for years… could we please stop talking about AFL matches like it’s a fricken war? It’s not a “Battle”, there are no “Warriors” and “Heroes” in sport, ever. It really pissed me off that they did this on the Anzac day match as well.
-
It’s convenient language that gives a story-line to the game.
Anzac day matches are particularly egregious about this. You just have to learn that it’s the terms they use for this sort of thing. It doesn’t mean all that much.
-
And this reason of many is why I don’t bother watching TV, this was what I overheard while I was eating dinner. Parents are back home again so therefore the TV is on extremely high volume again and I couldn’t help but overhear -.-
-
-
I don’t mind it, It hypes the game up as it is meant to. Techy its kind of hard for people to understand who are not interested in sports in the slightest. Its like when you get passionate about a game, its a similar thing.
-
Also, battle is a very subjective term. As is hero.
I think they fit in perfectly fine.Not saying sports stars should be heroes… but to many kids out there, they are, and that won’t ever change – they’re in the public eye, at the peak of their field.
-
Well in my game there are things actually dying so it’s a little closer than say drunken brutes kicking a leather air-filled bag around an oval. Quality entertainment should be the actual content of the game itself, not the hype. I’m sure it’s just meant to be trying to make up for the truckloads of ad breaks in the middle…. oh yeah and the 3-times-same-replay-while-something-happens-off-screen-so-you-miss-it deal
-
The ad breaks only come on when there is a goal scored, so that you don’t have to sit there watching them get the ball back to the middle. Also, the networks have to get paid for free to air in someway.
When it’s only one ad per break, it’s really not that bad.and what do you mean “in your game”???
And to label all these guys as drunken brutes is a bit rich. There are really only a few at AFL level that misbehave, the rest of them are very focused and disciplined. Drinking is very much dicouraged until the end of season, and training is absolutely regimental.
If a player misses even one session or turns up hung over they usually get the book thrown at them -
Isn’t it a bit condescending to say that about these people techy. Its like gaming, do you like people judging your hobby without info. If you are going to judge something you need to be aware of both the good and bad cultural impacts of the game as well as why people enjoy watching it.
-
-
-
On the other hand, Darren Lockyer must certainly be a hero of NRL. I mean, they named a bit of the highway near my place after him! 😛
-
-
-
Essendon is looking like a real top 4 side. Aside from that game against GC17 :p
That was a pretty good game. Could have gone either way.
-
Yeah – that match against GC was really shocking. Should have won by so much more.
From what i was watching, though, GC actually made some really good plays.When there was 5 minutes left in the CW game and the scores got tied up… man i was on the edge of my seat. lol
Essendon seem pretty good at gaining points back in the final quarter this year, and the back line has been great… although, i have the feeling that if Fletcher is ever out for a couple of games it’ll just fall apart lol
-
-
Wow we have more AFL followers than i thought. Or maybe its just this big game that everyone watches?
-
The anzac day match does get a LOT more viewings than many other games, as it is a very traditional match, and always hotly contested.
Aside from the Grand Final, you won’t see any more hardly fought games in the entire season.Also, you must remember, it’s only NSW and QLD that don’t give much of a rats about AFL – it’s very big business in all the other states 😛 lol

ANZAC Day matches get a lot of coverage for a fair few reasons.
First of all, it’s Collingwood and Essendon. They always draw both a big crowd and a big TV viewership.
Secondly, it’s the only game on during a public holiday, which is often on a Monday.
Third, the two teams have got comparable lists that seem to play well against each other (although their gameplans and the differences in skill can mean big differences on the ladder).
There are definitely more hard fought games out there but there are some rivalries that seem to work out nicely for neutrals.
-
This is also very true.
I think Collingwood and Essendon games always seem to bring out the best in both teams as well, though.
-
-
-
My friend had a birthday/Anzac day BBQ on Tuesday night.
I had to supply the BBQ and do the cooking.
Spent most of the night playing with the puppy because I just wasn’t in the mood for getting hammered. Social interactions, one day I will master them :p
-
-
-
-
It’s easily the best option.
Dogs are awesome -
Dan’s dog liked me…
-
pfft, i’m twice the man his dog is!!!!
*puppy eyes* -
Yeah, but you can’t be used as a moustache.
-
part of me can….
-
Dan’s dog is pretty damned awesome.
I really have to be in the mood to deal with many people. Being an anti-social introvert is a bit like that.
-
-
-
I’m pretty much over getting hammered, or even getting drunk for that matter….
I think this Saturday will end up being the first time i have had more than one drink in a night for almost a year? lol
-
-
-
-
-
🙁 I dont get nommed alot…thanks…
-
-

NAH LAMBO. ALL SONGS HAVE TO BE FULLY SRS AND CAN’T BE OVER THE TOP!
That guy is an idiot 😛
-
-
So, Shiggy is a big fat idiot.
I put this question to the TAYbies to prove I’m right (which we all know I am):
Ties or Bowties?
Keep in mind Bowties are all the rage at the moment. Hint hint.
-
-
Ties. Thin ones.
And mad-arse cufflinks.Styled like a boss.
Sorry Pez – you’re so wrong, that if you were any more wrong you’d be wrong wrong badong.
-
Also, suspenders (or bracers, whatever you want to call them)
STYLED – LIKE – A – FETHING – BOSS!
-
-
Super hawt.
-
-
-
-
-
Man, I have the feeling I am really going to stand out amongst a group of dapper gents like yourselves.
But then I think of spending all day and night in a suit and I realise, I am quite happy being the Cave Troll in a group of Gentlemen 😛
Also, Bowties FTW, Ducky from NCIS wears one so they must be good. -
-
-
that was just for the Doctor Who reference & doesn’t reflect my stance on neck adornment.
I dislike both, but if I had to wear one, ties all the way.
-
-
Depends what you’re wearing it with. If it’s formal casual like you’d wear to the office go with a tie. If it’s super formal like you’d wear to a wedding or to a party attended by politicians from around the world that you have to protect from a sexy Russian assassin called Nikita whom you end up sleeping with and then there’s an awesome car chase go with a bowtie.
-
I’ll go get a mail Russian order bride – hopefully they can ship her over in time for Saturday. That’ll mean the sexy Russian assassin is set – then I’ll just drive like a jackass to the city and go through a watermelon cart at speed with Hugo going all ‘WHOAAAAAAAA’ in the passenger seat to sort out the car chase front.
Bowtie justified.
-
-
-
1) Give me my underwear back. I know you have it.
2) Ah do what ah want (cue south park). That being said bowties are awesome and Shiggy needs to understand this.
-
I have Mad Men seasons 1 and 2 on Blu-Ray. As our Blu-Ray player is busted, we cannot watch them. Anyone want to odo a straight 1:1 trade fror the DVDs of these seasons?
-
-
-
Still better than watching it on DVD, in my opinion. Just turn up the volume to drown out the fan. 😛
-
Keep ’em Shane. Mad Men is made for hi-def. That grain effect, yo.
-
This. It is worth watching in HD brah.
-
-
-
So Pez is a gent.
But we have disagreed on ties and bowties. I respect his choice although I am in agreeance with most about ties.
Voice your opinion and you will not be harshly judged.
Morning TAY peeps. How was your day off yesterday?
I decided to do something different and played video games all day.
-
-
Yes, DA2. You may be surprised to know that i think the game is a letdown. It could have been better than part 1 if they didn’t rush it out to cash in on the first game.
-
-
-
-
-
The foot chases aren’t what i was expecting, you can’t actually catch the guy. You just hold the run button until the dialogue has reached a certain point, and then a scripted event happens. It’s great action, but very little input from the player.
-
Otherwise the game so far has been pretty good. The difference between Doubt and Lie can sometimes be a little strange, but whatever. I’m having fun with it.
-
-
HOLY CRAP GUYS!!!
How’s this for all sorts of awesome!!!>??
BEE PLAYED TRIALS HD WITH ME!!!
She had a friend of hers and her boyfriend over, so him (the bf) and i were playing some gaemz!!!
We started off with Pro Evo 2011, where i beat him twice with germany (i must say, getting used to the way the new pro evo games play takes some serious getting used to).
We then chucked on trials and played some of that together, and convinced the girls to play a round against each other… so they did and many laughs were had after the initial frustration they had in learning how to handle the bikes.
Later that night, after our guests had left, i chucked on trials to keep on going through the medium levels, when in the middle of one of the levels i heard bee say “can i play”.
WOAH!!
WAIT A MINUTE?!?!
WHAT?!?
YOU WANT TO PLAY TRIALS WITH ME!?!?
HELL YES!!!
So we played. Then we ate dinner. It was jawsome.
Thanks Trials Evolution! You save my marriage*!!
*Not married**
**Yet
-
Awwwww man.. top needs to be BEE PLAYED TRIALS EVOLUTION WITH ME!!!
Damn my feeble post-ph mind!
-
-
This was a triumph,
I’m making a note here, huge success,
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction. -
People think that the worst part of my job is handling people’s horrible smelly shoes.
They’d be wrong. It’s the watches.
Anyone wearing a watch and has been for a long time take off your watch an look underneath it. See all that gunk built up on it? That’s your old dead skin. It truly is disgusting having to pick through that to open the watch up.
-
-
I occasionally scrape away at that stuff with a paperclip at work. Helping!
I also tend to fold a post it note and slide it through the little gap in my phone and mouse, to clear out the gunk there.The things I’ve done to pass the time around here…
-
-
-
I have hated all Marvel movies to date (have seen Spiderman, Iron Man and I think one or two others). I loved Firefly, Serenity and liked Angel, and Buffy was good but laughably inconsistent and irrational, and Dollhouse was simply embarrassing.
Context over. Will I like this?
-
If you hated the other Marvel movies (relevant movies being Iron Man 1 & 2, Captain America, Thor and The Incredible Hulk) then you probably won’t like it. Although, I don’t understand how you could hate the movies. Dislike, ok, but hate? Really?
The dialogue is pure Joss Whedon. As I mentioned last night, it is probably the most expensive fan-fiction ever made.
-
Dollhouse had promise.
Promise that quickly got sodomized and thrown in the dumpster a few episodes in.
Still… it could have gone places.
-
-
-
Good morning chums.
Heading off to Melbourne soon for Kevin Smith tonight. Might see The Avengers again this afternoon when I get to Melbourne. It was that good.
-
-
-
I think i remember you saying you lived in Warrnambool, right?
I’m heading down there later in the year.
-
I went there once and rode some hot air balloons. According to Cakesmith I’ve seen everything Warrnambool has to offer 😛
So ride dem balloons!
-
Well if you head down there sometime in Q4 2012 you can see me arguing with property developers and construction people.
-
-
Sughly is killing me..
On that note, if you want in on the Trials Evolution competition, please send a friend request to MokoTAYbikeu on XBL. I just created this account so that I could get the lederboard easily managed without having to sift through my FL. Also i have a blog that I will rcord times and other stuff. May not maintain it and just keep it in TAY?
anyway, how is everyone finding gigatrack? anyone making good progress. Any other rivalries going on? Trust me the next track we run will be beachhead or whatever (the war one?) It’s super short and will bring the competition much closer together.
-
I’ve wanted to play it more but I just sort of get sidetracked… ended up doing music instead yesterday.
I have a bad patience problem with Trials. Gigatrack seems to be exacerbating it.
Might go punish myself some more tonight but between you and Sughly the bar is excessively high.
-
-
Yay shorter tracks 😀
The thing that gets me about Gigatrack is how long it is and it’s so easy to make such a simple mistake :P. I’d rage so much if I faulted right near the end… (which I sort of did). Any point in adding a Skill Game into the mix?
-
yep for sure, after we get into a bit of a groove with the riding tracks, then we can mix it up. I don’t know if gigatrack was a good or bad idea really, the competition isnt that close, but as you can see with sughly and I, it can be. that war track is awesome and has some really good parts to pick up huge time. When we are all playing that, next week you will see how addictive this format gets…
-
I’d love to do a shorter track that I could feel competitive on. I played multiplayer for the first time with a friend last night and it was an absolute laugh. Loved it. One track he chose though was a hard one I’d never seen and I automatically picked the Scorpion without realising. It really didn’t have the acceleration. After 10 minutes he ended it. It was pretty woeful.
-
-
-
-
-
I’ve played Gigatrack twice. Once I was determined to bronze it, despite basically losing my shit and just making mistakes because I was mad. I ended up finishing it at around 100 faults, 30 minutes. I tried once more and got about midway with only 5 faults, was pretty pleased with myself, then just started faulting and faulting and faulting. Ragequit. I really want to finish it with around 10 faults and whatever time. But I think I need a Zen moment to do it. Maybe Friday night. I was thinking of smashing Witcher 1 this weekend so I could maybe take Trials breaks.
-
This.
It is SO easy to make it a large way through the track then make a simple slip and BAM, there goes your attempt.
And at a 7-8+ minute run through those mistakes are costly.
-
-
I’m quite frankly surprised my 360 controller isn’t broken yet.
-
My wife was next to me on the couch (mostly inertia, since she is 7 months’ pregnant) and she asked me “Why are you playing that? I thought you played games to relax”. Good question.
-
-
-
-
Try watching some replays :). They’re really helpful in seeing what techniques other players use in areas you might struggle on.
I wouldn’t recommend watching a Shady or Sughly one unless you want to think “WTF DID THEY JUST DO!?” but perhaps someone lower on the leaderboards.
Going to repost this because I posted it at like 1am last night
The Avengers is a near perfect movie.
It is a masterclass in blockbuster film-making and screenwriting. Perfectly paced, it interweaves the multiple threads of its ensemble cast with seeming ease,something that few filmmakers achieve. Michael Bay take notes.
The script gives every character their moment to shine, as well as their own doubts and flaws and a distinctive voice and approach. Their character arcs aren’t as great as in previous movies, but the juggling of such massive personalities is no mean feat. The already established cast members are comfortable in their roles, with Black Widow and Hawkeye getting much more to do and Mark Ruffalo easily stepping into The Hulk role.
Most people will be watching it to see Hulk smash, Captain America throw his shield, Thor hammer people and Iron Man blow stuff up with his fancy metal suit, and on that level the film doesn’t disappoint. Infighting means you get to see the heroes turn on each other – Hulk vs Thor, Iron Man vs Thor… basically everyone vs Thor – but the final New York-levelling superbattle is an explosive extravaganza that peaks with a computer-aided moneyshot that goes from sky to street level and back up again, taking in every hero, without a cut.
The best thing about The Avengers is its wry sense of humour and perfect comedy timing. It’s the funniest film to hit cinemas in a long, long, time. It effortlessly and unexpectedly lands its hilarious punches, with some coming at the expense of its own absurdity – after all, these are grown-ups in weird costumes battling aliens. Having said that, the film takes its job seriously and is reverential to its various sources and characters.
5/5
A+
100%
Shawshank Redemption has officially been knocked off my favourite movie post.
-
-
-
I haven’t seen a few of the previous films – Iron Man 2, Hulk, Thor. I liked Iron Man and Captain America.
-
-
Then I found 10 dollars.
No, really, my question is – Are the three I haven’t seen good? Is all the gush I’m hearing about The Avengers supposed to mean the others aren’t great?
Also, Whedon also did that new Star Trek? Is that good?
The only Whedon I’ve experienced is Firefly / Serenity and I really enjoyed that.
-
I don’t think Whedon did the new Star Trek movie (if you’re referring to the 2009 one). I wasn’t aware that he was and after reading your comment I did a search on imdb and he didn’t pop up in the movie 😛
I’ve never really seen Star Trek (the series) but I did like the 2009 movie. Was good for a total Star Trek newbie.
-
That’s odd, I wonder why did I think he did?
-
JJ Abrams did the new Star Trek, and it was damn good.
-
Yeah, Star Trek was done by J.J Abrams.
Both Abrams and Whedon have both been thrust from TV backgrounds into blockbuster film-making so maybe that’s the confusion?
-
-
-
-
-
Incredible Hulk you could easily avoid watching. There are a couple of references, but that’s it.
Iron Man 2 introduces Black Widow.
Thor is probably the main one to watch. It is essentially the back story of why Loki is so pissed.
-
-
Will try and borrow Iron Man 2 and Thor from my local. Might get Star Trek too by the sounds of it.
Hmm, should probably get something my wife might like to watch as well. She loved True Grit.
-
True grit was awesome. The world and the characters were really believable.
If you haven’t seen it I’d recommend getting Monsters. It’s a British Sci-Fi film with a district 9 vibe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsters_(2010_film)
-
-
yep, it was the comedy that really hit me
like, they’d just say certain lines that were just perfectedly timed, like (rot13’ed) jura Gube tbrf “ur’f zl oebgure!
naq v guvax shel fnlf “ur xvyyrq 85 crbcyr va 2 qnlf!”
naq Gube Ercyvrf “ur’f nqbcgrq”

but yes, it had a perfect balance between comedy and action, i loved it, and will probably watch it multiple times while it is still in cinemas.
-
Haha! Yes, that had the entire theater in hysterics.
Also:
Uhyx naq Gube gnxr bhg gur tvnag nyvra naq gura jura fgnaqvat gevhzcunagyl ba vg’f pbecfr Uhyx whfg enaqbzyl chapurf Gube bhg bs senzr.
Gur vzntr bs Uhyx guebjvat Ybxv nebhaq yvxr n puvyqf cynlguvat naq gura gur fubg bs Ybxv fghaarq ba gur tebhaq.-
yeah, those scene had everyone in the cinema laughing so much, we had to try and quiet ourselves so that we could hear the movie.
“chal tbq”
-
I actually missed that line because I was laughing so damn loud.
If I have one complaint it would be:
Uhyx tbrf sebz na hapbagebyynoyr perngher gb Onaare orvat noyr gb pbageby uvz jvgu rnfr va gur fcnpr bs unys na ubhe.
-
-
Agree. Was a little tired whilst watching it but great overall. Good length without being too long. Great action with plenty of other stuff too. Believable is the main word I would use, Whedon made the whole thing seem so real. I came out thinking that their wasn’t a way that I could think of that the movie could have been better.
Okay fine, I will see it. It will be one of three films I see this year:
The Hobbit and DKR are locked in, don’t care must see no matter what, and I had one slot spare for a choice before my new baby comes.
This movie will be it, so you’d better be right.
-
-
-
Wow, second nerdfail of the day. At this rate I’ll be captain of the rowing team in no time!
-
-
-
-
-
I went and saw it last night. I’ve never been so desperate to see a movie again as I am right now.
Hi!
So I’ve only just realised how close to May it is. Better fix up my Taokaka costume soon.
Also, do people want photos from the world record attempt?
-
-
I REALISED HOW CLOSE IT IS TO MAY BECAUSE MY BIRTHDAY IS IN MAY!
i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to yell, just a tad bit excited for my 18th
-
-
-
-
oh, i am quoting something, do not take it as me actually saying F*** you….
-
-

I want to go back to school were the assholes in my life could only bother me a hour or so a day and even less usually because they got bored. Life seems like this big old pot that we get thrown into with a bunch of moronic people are always there and in your face and you have to push real hard to make any progress. If you are lucky some nice people get thrown in next to you but they like yourself will just be drowned in the pot of stupidity. On a completely unrelated note i landed on my face doing push ups last night and hurt my nose. Woke up this morning and my nose was better. Its a miracale 😀
-
-
-
-
-
You know it
-
-
-
-
Ouch that poor nose. I was never good at push ups, since thanks to my leg I can’t really do anything physically challenging
-
Techy have you seen a doctor, you probably should otherwise in later life it is gonna bite you on the ass .
-
They keep saying nothing is wrong, despite that my left kneecap is practically sticking out like an arrow from cartoons when I sit down.
Though from what it feels and looks like, I think I got damaged muscles and nerves on my thigh and knee. Also it is very prone to cramps from just doing something small like stretching before getting out of bed in the morning.
-
Maybe it is a psychosomatic. Like Doctor Watson in Sherlock. In any case if the doctors have looked at it more than once and said it is fine maybe you leg hurts because you aren’t using it very much?
-
-
-
-
Neither but to be fair I’ve never really played 1 or 2. The dungeon crawler type games I have played have come much later and probably improved on many of the mechanics. Saw a gameplay trailer for 3 months ago and wasn’t really impressed but I guess it’s different if I actually played it.

@Ruffleberg
How far are you into the game, chapter/episode/case wise? (can’t remember what they call it)
After a certain point, the game became really ‘meh’ for me. Just wondering whether you’ll be sick of it or keep playing. The doubt/lie responses are a bit weird, especially when I 100% certain I’m making the ‘correct’ choice based on what I know and it turns out to be wrong…
Are you driving to places or letting your buddy do the work? I quickly got tired of the driving mechanics 😛
-
I just got promoted to homicide. I’ve heard this game is actually very long, but i seem to be progressing through the cases pretty quickly. Right now it’s still 50/50 on the driving. I’m still seeing what the city has to offer so i like driving, ask me again in a week.
-
Really? I think it goes ‘meh’ for a bit but then picks back up a little.
Also, I liked the driving. Well, not the actual driving, the city. It’s a well-crafted period-piece environment to drive through and have a look around. Kind of like in Mafia 1, but that had decent driving mechanics as well.
UNI: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY B-FUNK, WE ARE PUTTING A TEST ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!”

Yes my mum and dad concieved me on the moon. When neil Armstrong was saying
” One small step for man, One giant leap for man kind” The actually Paraphrase it to that from
” Holy Cow two people having moon sex That is One small step for man, One giant leap for man kind… fap fap fap”
I re read that man i am twisted. -
LOL ROCKETMAN
-
I don’t even think I can top that.
*slow clap*
-
really? are you sick or something?
-
-
oh rocketman
-
And contradictory too. Unless yours was a twelve month pregnancy 😛
-
Moon Years are different to Earth years Gosh Lambo.
-
Oh, so you were born on the moon year anniversary of the moon landing then?
So that would mean a moon year is 9 months long.
-

He’s a moon-witch!

Shh don’t tell everyone my secret Noob otherwise i will turn you into this.

It’s true*, someone once called me Bish-Funk.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, B
ISH-FUNK! -
Let me direct you attention towards this article: http://allfacebook.com/ultraviolet-protest-new-york_b87116. Read the article? Good for you. That’s not what I was directing you attention towards, but you read it anyway so you’ll be able to understand what it is I’m trying to point out. That first comment. It is pure gold.
-
-
-
That was brilliant.
Also, i thought jobs should be given on who was best suited to the role, not what they had in their pants.
How silly of me.-
Moron. most programmers are male. There’s no two ways about it. In my course I knew of maybe 4 female programmers. This is of a group of 50. Statistically it’s obvious that there will be more males. Plus maybe the girls should get off facebook and actually apply for jobs instead of whinging about it.
That was mean, but still, mountain out of a molehill
-
-
Ho0ly crap you had me worried there for a moment! LOL
-
Sorry I should’ve been clearer
-
-
-
I was gonna say the same thing actually, I am sure if there was a female who applied for a job and her skills were better they would hire her.
-
This.
There are so many reasons why women aren’t equally represented on boards. A few of them have to do with discriminatory practices, but most of them are legitimate reasons (like the dare I say typical career break that occurs when a woman has a baby, and reluctance thereafter to put in excessive overtime to land promotions – generalisation I know, but well documented).
And it’s a particularly ridiculous protest in this instance, with your added demographic info re: programmers.
-
Hiring someone to fill a gender, racial, minority etc quota is a terrible reason to hire someone.
They’re bitching about women not being on the board at Facebook when there are REAL problems in the world. I should’ve lost faith in humanity a longer time ago..
The internet is just a wealth of information
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxsKxWM6q1M&feature=g-logo
where would we be without it??
Don’t answer that question – it’s rhetorical.
-
I have started hating myself for reading comments on youtube videos especially for music i like, this is purely because that nearly all the time the comments read like this
“This is truely good music forget gaga and bieber, they will be nowhere in 6 months “insert band name here” Will live on forever in our hearts. This is especially prevalent on Queen and ABBA songs.
-
There should be a “kick stupid youtube users in the face” bill passed.
Sooooo many stupid STUPID comments. Especially on metal songs.
“WTF, this isn’t power metal, it’s speed metal!! my god!!! it’s like comparing black metal with death metal!!”
WTF… it’s all metal in the end, isn’t it?!?!?!
Also: x amount of people are such and such type comments… sooo old
-
LOLOLOLOL 1494 FETHING CHULOOPAS DISLIKED THIS VIDEO
HARHAARHAHRHAHRA IM SO FUNNY AND ORIGINAL
STFU.
-
Metal subgenres is one of the forbidden topics on the internet, alongside religion and politics.
Don’t ever go there. Ever. It cannot end well.
-
-
-
AHahah that was unexpected 😛
And now I’m watching a bunch of his videos instead of studying finance for my test tomorrow….
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
-
I just watched most of them.
I want my life back.
LOLI got 67% on my finance test from last week 🙁
DAMN IT!
-
So much eggs!
I got like 56% on my last finance test :(. Different finance subject this time but I don’t think it’ll be any different since I’ve only been to 1/7 lectures…
-
-
-
There was one interesting fact that I found out about how youtube videos work yesterday. The comments section can actually be disabled by the user, but that’s actually a bad idea. The way youtube videos get popular come from three things: Overall views, total likes/dislikes and comments. The more you have of any of these, the higher it goes up the ranks in searches and even the front page of youtube, which earns the video author more ad revenue. So basically, a human who does youtube videos for a living actually want arguments to erupt cuz it works better for them. It’s basically a way of “making the trolls work for you” as TB once put it. The more argument, the higher popularity. How else did Rebecca Black’s Friday hit the front page as a viral video? All the rage and disliking actually helped it get more popular rather than destroy it.
I just had the most awesome idea… i want to snip off the end of a sparkler and slide it into someones cigarette….
Then when the sparkler ignites, yell “PAARRRTTTAAAYYYYY!!!!”
Then laugh all the way to the burns ward
-
-
-
He was a reknowned moocher, so it was a cigarette we just left lying on the table to see if he’d take the bait.
It still did not change his mooching ways. I did get a good punch in the arm though.
-
-
-
-
-
-
That being said, back when i smoked my mates put about 15 match heads in my smoke, it literally exploded in my face.
-
Now we play the waiting game…
-
Nice… good times had by all!!!
I’m sooo glad i quit years ago lol
-
-
-
yeah im with Ruffs there. Aluminium Sulphites are bad for the lungs. Worse infact that the cigarette itself. so i’d avoid doing that one.
-
Don’t touch me.
Physical contact makes me incredibly uncomfortable and if you could stay at least 4 meters away from me at all times, that would be super.-
Noted for the monomeat.
I think Rize already mentioned that he would shout a drink to anyone for each time they hugged you.
Saturday is going to be funsies.
-
-
This is a genius plan!
-
HUG HOOKER
-
You’ll be rich! Of course you’ll need a manager, I am willing to be that!
-
Sure!
-
\o/ business partners!
-
Aren’t they called pimps?
-
Shhh…
-
Shh, we don’t want to attract legal problems man!
-
-
-
I’ll Hug you out ruffleberg. By that i mean, you don’t want to know what i mean, you get what i mean Ruffles. I am watching you with one eye on your feet, another on your face and a third watching where you are going.
-
-
Ill hug your brains out then hug you some more. The when you are nearly hugged out i give you a nice good hugging and you will scream out hug me harder.
-
You want a hug?
I”LL GIVE YOU A HUG!
http://kramsdesign.com/misc/kotaku/hugo-sughly.jpgNot really that bad, being hugged by me is more like being attacked by a giant bean bag.
-
The sad part is i think i am bigger than Hugo:P I want to be lifted in my hug.
-
I think you are taller, but that never stops me from performing the lift hug.
Actually it makes it more fun, as you tend to get more swing out of the taller people.
-
-
Hahahaha holy crap how have I not seen this until now?
That man… always delivers.
-
I actually used part of that picture for my gravatar.
*sigh*
I miss Sughly. -
This is why you need twitter :p
-
-
To be clear, I shouldn’t have mentioned anyone by name. Especially when they can’t respond right now. What I said was my side of things and those on the other side of the fence probably saw things differently. Just because I saw their actions one way doesn’t mean that’s exactly what happened or what they meant.
So i made a version of the Lord Shepard shirt that doesn’t have text… i thought it suited some people more whom reallllllly don’t want religious-sounding slogans on their shirts

So, Mad Men Blu-Rays – seasons 1 and 2.
I have the blu-Rays, i want the DVDs instead. Anyone want to trade up?
-
@McGarnical, I would like to watch them in high-def, but unfortunately, I can only imagine what it’s like and my brain is pretty fuzzy.
-
-
-
-
Oh…so that would explain why I like Michael Bay’s Transformers too…
-
-
-
It is AWESOME. I was sceptical at first, after that first episode I was all “This is rad” and watched all 4 seasons in 2 weeks >_>

I’ll tell my therapist all about it at the meeting.

Hi TAY!
I have a question:
If you had to guess what percentage of zombie attacks occurred while someone was on the can, what would it be?
-
100%.
During a zombie outbreak, there will be at least one person who gets attacked whilst attending to toiletry issues. -
-
-
id guess 30% just because people are silly. and dont take the privacy of bowel movements seriously.
-
-
It’d be a terrible way to go. You either sit there being nommed on or you run out, pants around your ankles, trip and get nommed on.
-
My fear while on the can is that a snake will bite me on the ass. It happen to a neighbour of mine while we lived out on my farm.
-
Not to mention all the deification flying all over the place.
I’d also be terrified they’d bite my winkie first… dear god…
-
-
-
-
Actually, you didn’t say the toilet person was the victim, so I would say 100%, to start with, though this would peter out to 0% as people began to become zombies and stop needing modern plumbing conveniences.
-
-
Man i never thought of that.
I’m actually fairly shure they don’t, as most internal organs don’t work.They’d more than likely just bloat until they explode.
-
I suppose it could just go straight through them?
But if they do just bloat until the explode that must increase the chances of survival if you can just wait out long enough for all their poop shoots to explode.
-
Actually, their stomachs would explode.
Their muscle function still works, so it would make it down the esophagus fairly easily, but would get stuck somehwere in the stomach a it no long produces the acid to break the food down.
The food would begin to rot, and pile up, causing swelling, until their abdomens split/pop completely. -
I just wanted to say poop shoot.
-
I think you meant poop chute.
-
Oh, woops. POOP CHUTE. POOP CHUTE. POOP CHUTE.
-
-
-
I love how much you’re thinking about this.
-
-
-
-
TELL MEEEEE
-
Rule 2: Beware of Bathrooms:
Really not just bathrooms any good apocalyptic zombie survivor should know better then going into a bathroom, small closet or any other small room with only one way in or out. Only thing stupider to go into then a bathroom is a movie theater. Lots of places to run around before you get eaten.

this shirt:

is awesome. BUT you need to fade the edges a bit to make it blend in with the shirt 🙂Also – how did you get your profile page to look so pretty? I can’t work it out 🙁
-
Hey man i am just looking to find love in a safe place with people who i share interests with. Also those christian chicks go like the proverbial i hear.
Note: This may be taken as an offensive slur, it is not Thank you for your time 😛
-
Many of the Christians I went to highschool with ended up marrying people in their immediate friendship circle, which in 8+ years appears to not have changed in the slightest from when we were in highschool.
Now I could be wrong and I could be reaching for the truth, but I’m assuming they all married to have le sex. I think all of them did not live together before they got married either.
It seems like an incredibly bad way to go about finding a partner in life.
-
To each there own, i won’t judge people for choosing a different way to live their life. Well i should change that I won’t OPENLY judge people for choosing a different way to live their life. I will judge the shit out of them later. Apparently my grandmother nearly didn’t got to my dad’s wedding because he was living with my mum before hand.
-
Having grown up in a religious family I can agree that it’s a bad way to find a partner. People at my church (including my sister after I left) would get married just because they were sick of not being able to have sex. So all these people were getting married way too young, before they even knew enough about themselves to know what kind of partner would suit them, just so they could have sex. A lot of them are divorced now. My little sister got married at barely 18 and is now divorced with 3 kids and an arsehole abusive ex-husband.
I’m not saying not having sex before marriage is a bad thing, I’m just saying it’s hard to discover what you need to know about someone if you’re all raging unfulfilled hormones.
-
-
To all humans I’ve snapped at today, I apologise for my attitude. My parents came back from their small holiday last night and moved my dentist appointment to the day of the mamasita meat tonight so I can’t go thanks to them. Work isn’t helping me either so I’m in full-on cranky mode. It’s basically all hell again except worse now thanks to work and half of my team being MIA for multiple reasons (On leave, sick, etc)
Sorry all please forgive me! /o\
-
-
Well I think my comments now that I re-read them came off even more harsh and snarkier than I usually do… so yeah..
-
They were but everyone gets angry now and again. Friends usually let that stuff slide though 😀
-
-
Because it’s too late to apologiiiiiiise
It’s too laaaaate!
(Toooo laaate, tooo laaaaaate)I know! I know songs from this century! Amazing!
-
I swear every school dance we had, THAT SONG WOULD GET LIKE 6 PLAYS. The dances only went for 4 hours. Also Those lyrics were insanely catchy.
-
-
-
-
-
Also sorry to say I will not be attending Mamasitas, got an impromptu pre-birthday dinner with my girlfriend.
-
-
-
Sorry man you couldn’t make it to mamasita meat. You are dead to me.
Just joking, take it easy and hope your week gets better! /o/
Does anybody not have a Dropbox account who was thinking of getting it? If so, please sign up using this link and I get more storage for my account (which I need because I store all my comic work there)!
(Note: you also get extra space if you use this link)
OK does anyone know where i can get the old coax RF switches for retro game consoles? or do i need to just get a coax to toslink converter and plug it into my HD tv via the optical in?
-
Um is that the thing that the old snes consoles had? because i guess you could see if you could get one on ebay? Also a note for you, old consoles look shit on newer tvs if you have a old CRT screen to play it on i would reccommend that instead.
-
This one time I plugged in my NES to the however-big main LCD TV we have.
Oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
You do not want a whole screen of vomit-inspired colours is all I’m saying.
-
-
I wonder if Gametraders would sell them, considering they sell all the old systems you would think they would have to sell the coax RF switches.
-
I’ve had various ideas for writing a story (this is for me, not for fame and fortune although that’d be nice) and don’t really know where to start.
I plan on writing something that’d be fun to write and fun to read. So nothing too heavy. Fairly explosion-heavy stuff.
Should I go with the semi-historical story set in the 1700s around smuggling in England (but really about necromancy), or the near-future sci-fi-lite story about a scientific experiment gone wrong (two stories as I have two experiments in mind that could both equally go wrong). I’m leaning towards the first one. I’m thinking skeleton minions, primitive firearms and olde English bureaucracy.
I also have the plot sketched out for a more-complicated one but I need something simple to start I think.
-
-
Both, the Sci-Fi one could be a sequel.
Or you could be fancy and do the sci-fi one first then do the 1700s England one as a prequel!-
There is a plot element that justifies them being continuous… Food for thought.
Pez, you’re sort of right, but I think I can make it work.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
I’m hearing lots of feedback here on combining the lot. Hmm…
I intend to make the stories short and effective.I like the Ian Fleming school of writing – get up in the morning, write 3000 words, then spend the afternoon and evening partying.

I finally got around to watching Sherlock yesterday. Burned through five of the six episodes before passing out.
Great show. Made me realise that the recent Dirk Gently show is pretty clearly in response to it :p
Hi TAY!
@Pez, that hugs for drinks deal was only for certain people! I just haven’t decided who yet…
And now, back to work. So much to do, so little maximum effort available.
-
-
And you’re nowhere near excited enough for the MONOMEAT.
I didn’t see a single all-caps MONOMEAT in that post.
-
MONOMEAT! WOO, YEAH! CAN’T FREAKIN’ WAIT! ETCETERA!
Seriously though, I am keen. Just trying to push through these crappy work days first.
MONOMEAT!

Why do i feel the need to defend my love of call of duty against trolls and people who go out of their way to bag cod, and those who play it? It really gets my goat. And whevner I feed one of these trolls i always have insta-regret.
-
-
wait wait. I can make up for it.
TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO .
yup i think thats better.
-
-
If it makes you feel any better, i thought the multi in Blops was fun.
It almost makes up for that rail shooter patriotic wankfest disguised as a single player they had.
-
-
Fact: see the campaign as a tongue in cheek indictment of American Jingoism and you won’t hate it so much.
-
-
CoD is a fun game if uninnovative. Some people don’t seem to know how to deal with its popularity. There is a real risk that it encourages game devs to not take risks and encourages publishers to insist on trillion-dollar profits, but we’re not seeing an innovation apocalypse just yet. Kickstarter might be the antidote.
I’ll continue enjoying Cod AND the smaller innovative games.
-
See there is this perception that cod fans only like cod. That thats all they care about and dont know what real games are.
Yes i sink hundreds of hours into cod. Yes it eats into my time spent on other games. But this by no means stops me from appreciating games that are better in many ways. I just wish it was possible to make the haters realize this fact. I play cod multi because, well i am good at it. So i enjoy it. It is easier for me to keep playing a game that i consistently perform well at for many hours, unlike Trials that i do love, but frankly, am not so good at. Once i get past medium tracks im useless. So naturally i lose interest.
-
-
Having worked in video gaem retail, the perception that cod fans only like cod is backed up be the reality of cod fans that only play cod.
I guess that’s a little harsh, they also play GTA – although they didn’t know how to pronounce “IV” – and fifa – although after “oh seven”, “oh eight” and “oh nine” they also asked to buy “oh ten” and “oh eleven”, i guess those aren’t techinically wrong as long as you’re saying that they year is “two oh twelve” . I know of two people that suffered withdrawal symptoms when PSN was unavailable last year. One of those guys went and bought an xbox so he would have something to play.
I’m not trying to condemn all CoD players, but there is definitely a large percentage of said people out there who “dont wanna touch that shiet” that is any other game. These people often need help writting their own name correctly. There may be a link there.
-
-
-
I have 5 CoD games in my collection. And I have enjoyed them all.
But then I am just the blurst.
-
I have three on the xbox (MW2, BlOps and MW3) and one on PC which I bought too late so the multiplayer is largely dead (WaW).
MW3 has another free weekend on PC this weekend. I played it last time and really didn’t like it as much as I like the xbox version, probably because I’m shite at kb/m.
-
-
I just need to stop reading comments. I do this every 3 months, learn not to read comments, not to take part in discussions on articles about certain topics. Then i let my guard down. Get involved again, and ultimately, the human race shows me again why i prefer to not interact.
-
-
yeah pretty much. I just need to stop this need to justify my own interests and feelings. GRRR
Anyways. i’ll move on. And just avoid reading comments on articles i am passionate about.
-
We’re friendly here!
I’d play more CoD if I was any good. The thing is, if I’m on an absolute tear and killing it, I’ll get like 1.2:1. I’m really not that good at it. I think my best ever in recent memory was like 20 to 5. That was an especially good round.
I also play battlefield 3, and if that had a better framerate on xbox and more solid shooty mechanics, I’d probably play it more as it suits my play style better.
-
I’m not a huge fan of the series’ multiplayer but I enjoy playing the spec ops missions in MW3 with my cousin. The same thing with the split screen survival modes.
I love that COD is one of the few big budget modern franchises that still allow same screen co-op.
-
-
-
Any time someone trolls i just think of this: http://www.collegehumor.com/video/5817726/internet-bridge-troll

Typical bloody CoD fan, always whinging about something. If it isn’t about battlefield they will find something else to whinge about.
Like this whinge and whinging 😉
I noticed on page 12 that Pez mentioned that Dollhouse had promise but didn’t go anywhere.
Largely true but there were some highlights worth sticking around for. Mainly to do with Sierra and Topher.
-
-
-
A six foot long meatball sandwich, with extra cheese and nothing healthy. I swear light passed straight through her at one point!
-
I would do terrible things to that girl. Mostly with my junk.
She was half Asian half Caucasian wasn’t she?
-
Eurasian. Half-Aussie, half-Tibetan.
Jon Safran stole her panties for one of his shows.
-
damn Eurasians and their stunning good looks.
-
We need to find you a nice white boy to settle down and make many babbies with.
For the good of the world.
-
OHHHH YEAH
-
-
-
Pez, like me, might have only watched Season One. I hear the second season got better, but I cannot muster up any enthusiasm to track it down and/or watch it.
-
-
-
Season 1 had an incredibly rough and formulaic start. It wasn’t until about halfway through that it was bearable and even then there were only moments of it being good. The final episode (Epitaph 1, which was a DVD exclusive) was a hail mary. Set far into the future, it was basically “this is where the story might end up so you have some resolution if it gets cancelled.” There was some good stuff there.
Season 2 was then constrained by having to focus on Echo, the least interesting character, and the various things shown in Epitaph 1 that had to be introduced/resolved. Despite that, some of the minor characters really got a chance to shine. Victor, Sierra and Topher had some truly brilliant character arcs. Sierra deals with being raped, made into a doll against her will and confronting the man behind it all. Victor got to show off some hilarious impressions and have some truly tender moments as a doll. Then there’s Topher, who was just pure Whedon.
Still not great but the bits focusing on those guys made it worth watching.
-
I don’t agree with ‘Hail Mary’ – that last episode left me bitter and disappointed. I don’t recall them now, but I was rattling off plot holes for almost thirty minutes after watching it! 😛
-
Hail Mary passes don’t always work. The whole point is that you throw it out there and hope that it somehow sticks.
It was entertaining although they clearly just threw together ideas they had for the show because they knew that being cancelled was an option and they wanted to give the fans something. Season 2 did its best to resolve those plot holes. Some worked out, others were made worse (the frenetic pacing didn’t help either).
It really was a show you had to endure to get to the good bits, especially because the best bits built on b-plots and apparently unremarkable moments.
-
-
it just came off a lot as “Eliza Dushku gets all self-indulgent and plays everything she wants to portray”
-
This was my main problem with the show, especially the first season.
I know it was her idea and everything but really think they should have cast someone else as Echo because Dushku can’t act well enough to pull off all those different characters. -
Dushku was the worst of the main cast and had the most demanding role. To make it even worse, the character sucked as well.
It’s kind of weird to have a show you watch for the b-plots.
-
-
I really liked Dollhouse but didn’t finish the 2nd season for whatever reason. I should give it another go one of these days 😛
Yeah from the Season One epilogue episode onwards, Dollhouse was awesome.
I almost gave up on it after that woefully painful one where Echo was a backup singer or something, then I almost gave up on again near the end of the first season and I didn’t actually watch any more for ages. Then I watched that epilogue episode and pretty much mainlined the rest of it, because I was enjoying it so much.
-
Nothing new has come out recently so after dabbling with No More Heroes, which I don’t really like (but may need to revisit just in case it actually gets better), I have gone back to Dark Souls.
STUPID GIANT HOLLOW TREE-
-
I finally got cursed by one of them last night.
I was all “OH GOD WHAT DO” before I found a Purging Stone in my inventory.
Imagine that! Past me had some foresight! You were the best, me.-
How did you get through the sewers without being cursed?
I was sufficiently wary by the time I got to that tree, so I didn’t get cursed. I just wailed at them with my silver straight sword + 5.
-
I know, right?
And at that point I didn’t even know they were Curse Frogs so I was just running into all the gas and wailing on them, and still came out unscathed.
Only logical explanation is that I am a wizard. -
I did the same!
I only found out that they were curse frogs because I spend a lot of time on the Dark Souls wiki!
I’d just assumed that their stuff had been poison!
-
-
-
How dare you bring up such a ridiculous topic.
I love Trials Evo but when I played it yesterday I just could not get anything done. I guess you have to be in a relatively good mood in order to play it! 😛 I was a bit grumpy so every stuff up just sent me further and further over the edge and I eventually descended into madness and started running around the street with strange tribal markings on my face and no clothes and I was carrying a flaming torch and I’m pretty sure that didn’t actually happen.
Uh, anyway, I’m trying not to buy any new games for a while as I have far too much work to get done in the next few weeks. D:
-
-
-
I need to get a better time on that.
-
-
or lack thereof 🙁
although i have been playing a solid amount of skyrim recently, thanks to some new mods i got. my character is ridiculously hot.
its worth the pain afterwards.
I’m playing through ass cred 2 at the moment. Not sure why it took me so long to get to it after I completed one. I think the repetitiveness get amplified through it and my memory of it was worse than it actually was. So far I am enjoying it, although if I play much more I think i am going to need to book another European trip for my wife.
All I hear through the whole game is “Oh that’s so beautiful” “wow, that’s pretty” “So beautiful” and the very occasional “Oooohhhh I want that for my house in puzzle pirates”
You just need to remove your pants completely when sitting on the toilet.
That way, if you can escape the confined space of the cubicle/bathroom, you’ll be fully mobile.
Thank me when you’re running at full speed, with a swarm of zombies eating your dust, and feeling the wind between your thighs.

I go to the toilet completely nude.
This means I’ll be pretty aerodynamic in a zombie situation.

YAY MEAT AND MAMASITA TONIGHT.
Also I left my pocket wifi at home and my phone has 0 data allowance and $2 credit. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh.
-
Who’s going? I’m going!
I saw TK has gone and prioritised his personal health over chicken chocolate, which I guess is fair enough although disappointing.
-
Wasn’t by my choice either… I still don’t even know how they managed to do that without my censent… I’m 23 for fricks sake
I hate my family… seriously
-
-
Yeah because my parents neglected to call me and let me know, it was already too late to reschedule since they don’t accept that short amount of notice.
-
You should schedule something for your parents and see how they like it! #logic
-
I like the way you think!

-
-
I quit when it wiped my progress. not sure if that wound has healed sufficiently yet. I did reinstall it last night though so that’s something
-
By the way I contacted Halfbrick on Twitter and they’ve told me they’ve fixed that bug! Maybe I can get back in after all.
-
-
-
Catching up from earlier pages: Bishy doesn’t like to be touched?! He asked me for a hug at the Can’d Meat….
-
-
Bish doesn’t like to be touched by most people.
Secretly, deep down, he craves the affection of his elders, those wiser than him, so those people, he will allow contact with.
But he definitely won’t hug Rocketman.
-
-
-
-
-
I like how from allllllllllllllllll the other conversations that have occurred this is the single point that needs to be addressed.
I don’t know, it just seemed appropriate at the time!
We hadn’t seen you in months, Strange! MONTHS! Also the whole interstate thing.-
This was the only important conversation. 😛
And you’ve set a precedent now, I expect hugs next time I’m at a Can’d or Sydney Meat as well.-
One day I promise I will fly up to Brisbane for a Meat just to hug you.
And then I will clean your kitchen.-
Oh god.
*furiously cleans kitchen just in case Bish turns up unannounced*And I’ll hold you to that promise.
-
-
-
I didn’t get a hug now twice. FLu said to hug you last time and i was all like no i will give him his space he thinks it is weird i won’t, i am forever regretting it now. Even freyr gave me a hug man 😛

When i read the ‘I Am An Explorer’ article i couldn’t help but feel that it comes off as incredibly self indulgent. am i being too harsh? Almost every sentence began or included the word “I”.

OMG THE AVENGERS! BEST PART WAS WHEN THAT PERSON DID THAT THING THAT RESULTED IN SOMETHING HAPPENING.
I got cornered by a woman from Greenpeace at Uni today while waiting for a friend. I kept saying that I wasn’t going to sign up for anything but she kept talking anyway. It was awkward. 😛
ps. Bish! I sent my email to your email …I think. Getting pumped for Monomeat! :O

Tell them you want to burn forests with nuclear fuel whilst munching GM popcorn.
That’ll learn em.

ushunka? You don’t even know her!

I HAD my phone out! I guess it doesn’t matter when you’re sitting down though. 🙁 I guess I should be more suspicious about women who randomly sit down next to me and start talking from now on?
So yeah I tried that new SPAZ content update with Bounty Hunters… bloody hell are they tough when you make them mad! I almost ran out of rez trying to defend my mothership (Cuz allied AI is dumb as a rock taking hits all the time, I really wish they do online co-op one day). I think they attacked for a full half hour with constant reinforcements, as I destroyed one, one or two took their place, absolutely brutal, but I loved every second. I love the new ship designs a lot, can’t wait to try them once I get the full blueprints. So yeah… the Bounty Hunters, do NOT take them lightly
-
I have to play a bit more. I got stuck where i was too weak to do anything more, and got a little disheartened. But yeah, once i get over trials, i might give it another crack.
-
I haven’t actually been attacked by them yet, but I have started on some of the arena challenges.
I am so not used to flying a small ship. Have you tried them out and how far have you gotten?As for online co-op spaz, sign me up.
I finish avatar, i didn’t remember exactly how good it was, i was in awe of the awesomeness. Kinda sad it is finished now, the last episode wasn’t hat great when Aang was fighting The Firelord, don’t get me wrong it was a pretty epic battle just the ending was kind of predictable even if they wrote the ending into the script from the start. I was also curious, what is the age difference between Katara and Aang, i know he is twelve but what is she 14?
-
-
About 98 years.
And the best part about the finale was Azula. The ending of the confrontation with the Firelord was considered an asspull by most because the foreshadowing was a little too subtle (Lion Turtles got mentioned a few times, didn’t show up until the very end. Most people missed it and thought it got thrown in there to give Aang another option after agonising about his big decision).
-
Yeah i knew about the lionturtle before i rewatched and i was looking to see if there were hints about it because when i watch the first time i completely missed it. They do talk about it by some extend , But seriously he gets hit on the back and goes into ultimate kill mode. Little bit lazy story telling, like i said they had written it in from a season ago but still.
-
The Avatar at his full potential against the most powerful fire-bender at his full potential. It was always going to come to that.
What they did was give Aang a reason not to want to do it and a reason why he couldn’t do it (both introduced at the end of season 2). Aang’s emotional arc in season 3 was overcoming those boundaries and making a decision about how to end the war.
-
I still didn’t understand it, he didn’t actually give anything up and he ended up with katara anyway. How did he control the avatar state if he had his 7th Chakra still locked?
-
The guru was wrong.
-
So it would seem
-
It’s something that bugs me a fair bit. Characters in fiction are often right about the big things. The audience learns to trust the apparent expert advice and go with it. It can feel like they simply didn’t have any other way to deliver this information.
-
-
-
It’s been a while since I watched it but didn’t smacking his back against that rock unlock his 7th Chakra? Like it hit the right pressure point on his body or something to cause it to unlock.
-
The rock hit him right in the scar, unblocking the physical impediment but didn’t resolve the mental issue of being able to control the avatar state.
The problem was that the mental block was not caused by him not letting go of his love for Katara (probably the best proof that that’s bullshit is The Avatar and the Firelord, where it’s clearly not an issue).
So clearing the mental block most likely came from him having a resolution he was at piece with. He was in control because he wasn’t conflicted about what he should do and causing harm he didn’t want to cause but felt he might have to. /fanwank
-
I loved the last few episodes of Avatar. For the whole show I’d always wondered how the Fire Nation managed to basically wipe out the Air Nomads and score major hits against the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes. I mean I got that it was a surprise attack but still. Seeing the power that comet gave them though made it all make sense.
Customer comes in and starts asking me about glass engraving. I pull out the practice plate and start pointing at it not really looking at at. The customer gives me a death stare and says she is not very appreciative. I look at what I’m pointing at and some lovely gentleman has written
“Rape All The Bitches
Donkey Punch The Sluts”
That took some fast talking to head off any further problems. Going to check everything very very carefully from now on.
-
-
-
Man its really not fun with that written on your head kids ask there mums: “Whats a sex offender Mum” Then you have to explain to the kids the birds and the bees and how the person is a menace to society and needs help. Then you have to get the tin snips out and make the kid watch as you nuter the poor gent. Then he screams out in pain “I am just coming home from a bucks party you jerk” Then you have all his medical bills to cover. Its fun for nobody at all really Mcgarnical

Also, if they’re old enough to ask aren’t they old enough to know?
You can’t start them on weapons training without some sort of motivation you know.

It’s time for a reminder…
A reminder for the CANBERRA MID-YEAR MEAT, 2012!!!
Or something.
On the 23rd of June (theoretically), come to Canberra! Drink alcohol, don’t drink alcohol, play games, watch other people play games, fall asleep on my floor, don’t fall asleep on my floor. All of these options and more are available, at the Canberra Mid-Deer Bleat, 2012.
Just remember, you’re invited, so are you, and you, not you, but that’s okay, no, no I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, of course you’re invited, I can’t believe I said anything that cruel as well. Also, your invited(what about my invited? That’s a good question).
*cough*
So yeah, just a reminder for those considering travelling long distances, that you may wish to consider organising transport. You’re welcome to stay at my house, although given there may be quite a few people going, I may need to kick the Sydney people out or something(or just make them sleep on the floor).
Chars Bug ares.

-
-
I’ll get his Grandparent’s written permission.
As long as they don’t telegram it to me again. That singing telegraph didn’t even shut up after I gave him a gold coin to stop.
-
-
-
-
-
I want to sleep with the guinea pigs.
And by with I don’t mean sexually.
For once.
What?
STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT.
>.>
-
I find it hilarious that you had to clarify that you *didn’t* mean sexually.
Pez is a classy guy.-
My junk is an avid explorer, I need to tell people where it hasn’t been instead of where it has.

-
-
-
-
I just… what is… don’t even…
wat.
-
-
-
I’m not going to ask how you served him with the eviction notice.
-
How do you remove a tenant without doing damage to the property?
-
Forceps.
Definitely forceps.

-
The baby has no say in it. (Medical caesarean.)
But to continue the joke… we heard this winding sound last night; we think he’s set an alarm clock for the 19th.
PS: I have tried the “chars bug ares” before, but my wife thought I was calling her a ‘big arse’, so I stopped saying it.
Sounds like a plan. So I’m guessing this will be a leave Syd early Saturday leave Can late Sunday type thing? Because I’m down for that.
In the meantime, say Hi to Julia for me!
-
I guess? Kind of depends. Last time the Sydney peeps turned up for 2 nights, so they’re welcome to do that again, and I guess if anyone wants to stay in Canberra for slightly longer(lord knows why), they’re welcome to.
-
I will be there. But I will not need to stay because my sister lives in Canberra. Which reminds me, I should probably warn her I’m coming to visit. 😛
-
You owe me directions to your house after last night’s dream.
I had to put my two cups in the back of the van. I’m not sure of the significance but I really didn’t want to leave them there.
-
Two cups? A van? Yeah, we probably don’t want to think too closely about the significance of your dream. Or mine from an earlier page, either for that matter….
-
Freud would probably have a field day in both instances.
-
-
I shall probably be there. If I’m done cleaning up my place from the meat on the 9th (Bish has not confirmed his attendance so I can’t rely on him :p)
Unfortunately I will have to miss this meat. I will kicking back in sunny Reykjavik before jetting off to Helsinki on that particular weekend. Canberra just isn’t as appealing as that. Sorry Blaghs

TOO LATE GIVE IT HERE.

Don’t forget JamesMacUsedMyHandle said he was going. You should pester him about that. Is he even back from overseas yet?
YEAAAAH. Robocop and The Rugrats Movie gameboy games finally came in the mail after buying them a couple weeks ago.
-
-
-
Every time someone brings up Pokemon Yellow, I remember how I took my GameBoy and Yellow to year 7 camp, and some dickwad erased my save while I was out of the room. Still super pissed off over a decade later.
-
Dude, what a dick!
I still remember a bunch of us playing and sharing a friend’s copy of Gold for ages on some school trip and some bitch teacher took it off us and turned it off WITHOUT SAVING.
-
The pain never ends, huh?
-
Never. It is the one little ball of rage that festers inside me.
-
-
-
-
-
-
I had a Donkey Kong one! I remember turning into a shark.
-
I think I have a Donkey Kong and a Metroid game for the Gameboy, I can bring them on Saturday if ya wants.
-
I have all GB games on my DS. I’m not even kidding ALL OF THEM.
Dat r4 card 🙂
-
Noice.
-
-
-
Also, Bomberman on GB
I remember DK Country on the Gameboy Colour being really, really dark and it was almost impossible to see what was going on.
I vaguely remember this also. I might have to dig it out and give it a whirl.
I used to have Rugrats games on the PS1! Search for Reptar and Studio Tour were awesome. Makes me want to play them again. 😛
Urinals should be a common household bathroom feature. Every time I use a public toilet I think, “why don’t I have one of these at home?”.
-
-
I saw a urinal notice once that said something like this:
“Please flush after each use, because if you do not a sugary sediment builds up and you will have to get down and bite it off”
This was at an Army regiment.
-
Those army types get pretty crazy when their privates are involved.
THANK YOU, I’LL BE HERE ALL WEEK.
-
This was an officer-training regiment, so the main rank around the place was Staff Cadet.
Heh heh. “Staff”.
-
-
A few years ago when my friend was on holiday in SA he saw a sign that said “please do not wash your feet in the urinal”. He took a photo of it and showed me when he got back.
South Australia must be a very weird place that they’d need to put up a sign like that.
-
But there’s no ‘don’t wash your ass in here’ sign, so there’s still hope.
Maybe.
-
Flashed on classic Borat.
-
-
-
I don’t pee in urinals for two reasons.
1. I suffer from stage fright whenever I go to one so I end up looking like I’m just chilling there holding my junk and staring blankly at the wall.
2. I was once staring blankly at a wall in a pub’s bathroom when some dude’s burst in and pushed the guy next to me in the back. He fell forward into the trough while he was peeing.
So it’s also a safety issue.
-
-
-
-
I see we’ve both purchased the same instructional video

I felt… shortchanged.

If i didn’t know better i would say it was a date. but i do know better because seriously who would want to go on a date with Mcgarnical, he is seriously the worst person on this sight .
Just kidding love ya buddy 🙂

How are you doing Shane
BLegh * Throws Up on shanes hair -
Oh Rocketman.
-
That means he likes you.
-
-
-
It was more a failed pun based on rocketman’s apparent ability to ‘sight’ mcGarnical despite being thousands of kilometres apart.
I will show myself out.
-
-
I will have to confer with the dark lord Sarcasm Fairy and we can get a solid time. Any suggestions on what to eat for lunch?
-
I wish I could attend. Unfortunately, I cannot. 🙁
I would have said this earlier, but I’ve been away from my computer for a few days, and Internet on my phone wasn’t working like it should.
-
-
-
And apparently that whole TAY won’t update until you post thing is happening on the uni computers too.
-
-
-
-
Why hello there! For some reason TAY doesn’t work on my Uni’s computers. Maybe I should try using Windows instead of Linux. 😐
Oh well. HELLO.
-
-
Half an eye, squinting from a distance. I tend to get overwhelmingly excited about great games and for my own protection try not to follow them.
-
-
-
Pfft PS3 is where the real playas be at.
-
Master race here, reporting for impending argument.
-
In the words of Shiggy:
EAT A DICK!
Part of me wants the PC games, but the majority of me can’t be bothered hooking a computer up to a TV so I can play on the couch. Hence the consoles. -
Sorry, can’t hear you over my 1080p games.
-
-
-
-
My PC will chuck a fit, so the xbawks it is
-
Rather than a kindly aunty voice, I read that in a creepy deep-voiced crossdressing hairy man voice. I am scared now.
-
But my Aunty WAS a creepy, deep-voiced crossdressing hairy man.
Now I’m just confused. And a little conflicted.
-
I’ve heard about it, and it sounds like something I might like, so I’m staying away from it so I don’t spoilerise myself.
Keeping an eye on? Yes.
But I am very ready for it to be disappointing.
Arkane Studios hasn’t actually made a game in quite some time, and their last release was Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, also known as “The Adventures of Sir Kicksalot Deathboot in the Land of the Conspicuously Placed Spike Racks.” It was a fun game, but it wasn’t particularly good. On top of that, some of the very early previews showed a few problems.
I’d like it to be good, but I’m sceptical.
Favourite childhood movies – go
Just had a friend buy the Land Before Time on DVD. That series pretty much defined my childhood. Every christmas there was a new one under the tree. I think I had from 1 to 8. That and anything by Disney – Lion King, Mulan, Tarzan, Beauty and the Beast, any of them. Awesome, the lot of them.
So what’s yours?
-
Oh, Land Before Time. I still cry like a mad woman.
My list is pretty much the same as yours except for Hercules and Anastasia 😀
Best movies are best.-
Oh those are definitely on my list as well. I just didn’t want to go through and list everything Disney released from 1950 onwards. But here’s a list. Basically everything from Peter Pan onwards is what I grew up on
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
I never owned The Land Before Time films, all I ever saw of them were bits and pieces, over the years.
But yeah, the Disney Renaissance films made my childhood.
-
-
-
Space Jam was a big one – It doesn’t hold up.
Aladdin was another.
Oh & Bedknobs & Broomsticks. Angela Lansbury as a Nazi fighting witch. Amazing.
-
-
-
After watching Space Jam for the first time I spent the entire next day pretending I was Michael Jordan.
-
-
All of the films mentioned plus i remember watching The Little Rascals about 50 million times.
-
-
-
-
-
Oh the Goonies was so awesome. Did anyone else search for a hidden pirate cave the next time they were at the beach after watching this?
-
-
Lion King, Toy Story and Aladdin.
When I first started to amass a DVD collection, my focus was on getting the various Disney movies. Some of them I didn’t remember enjoying half as much as I do now.
Then again, I went and bought Buzz and Woody figurines. At heart, I’m a manchild.
-
-
I don’t but I know someone who did get one. It’s a Revoltech figure, I think. Really should get me one.
-
-
-
Jurassic Park and The Lost World. The first time I saw Jurassic Park was when my mum taped it for me after it had been on TV. She hadn’t taped the whole thing though, she pressed stop when it got to particularly violent parts and then resumed recording after those scenes had past. Even though I wasn’t getting the full movie I still loved it. When I was a bit older I got The Lost World on VHS and whenever I had a sick day off school I’d play it and keep on replaying it again and again and again until my mum got home. It kept me company during the day and I used to sit on the carpet in front of the TV and play with my Pokemon figures and Yu-Gi-Oh cards while watching it.
I also have fond memories of watching The Land Before Time films. I was a pretty big Dinosaur fan when I was a kid.
-
This, 100%! Jurassic Park is still up there as one of my favourite movies.
Other than that… Monsters Inc was amazing even though that was more late-childhood. All the cartoons/animation movies, really.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Neverending Story.
Scaredthe hell outta me whe I was a chipper, but I loved it.
& I was amazed to find out that the theme song is sung by a dude. -
-
-
What Eff and Cracks said. Those movies are some that stand out the most from my childhood. I remember watching The Neverending Story at the movies and being awestruck. Also, worth mentioning is The Navigator. We hired that once accidentally because my parents thought it was Flight of The Navigator and it was actually kind of cool.
Also The Princess Bride. We hired a VCR for a night and that movie as well. then we made all our friends watch it so we could quote stuff together.Others from when I was slightly older are Short Circuit, Spaceballs and Inner Space.
-
-
– The Land Before Time
– Star Wars
– The Goonies
– Hook (I guess not quite childhood but it’s my sister’s favourite film so I’ve seen it heaps)Was pretty into Aladdin for a little bit, also the Lion King. I also remember watching Leda: The Fantastic Adventure Of Yohko many times when I was very young and enjoying it a lot, but never had it on tape or anything, just seen it on TV. Not a movie, but the Mysterious Cities of Gold was a big favourite for me as a kid too. Sadly it only got screened once on TV in New Zealand, with episodes out of order, some missing and some repeated, so it wasn’t until about five or six years ago I got to see it all end to end.
-
-
Well The Black Cauldron was the first movie I ever saw at the cinema so that will always be special for me
Also both bedknobs and broomsticks and Mary poppins were regulars. But all the classic disney was great.
-
I apparently watched Aladdin so many times my sister now refuses to ever watch it again.
Also, Alvin and the Chipmunks, back when they were awesome cartoons and not really really bad movies with horrible puns like ‘Squeakuel’ and ‘Chipwrecked’.
-
-
The Mighty Ducks, Cool Runnings, The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, George of the Jungle (got a huge poster for that, cause my uncle worked at the cinemas when it came out), Back to the Future, The Rugrats Movie, Rugrats in Paris (The first movie I ever saw in cinemas), Peter Pan.
-
The Wizards ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizards_%28film%29 ), The Black Cauldron, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Caravan of Courage, TMNT (original series and first movie) Transformers, He-Man.
Amiga 500 and NES.
Sigh.
/nostalgicface
-
The Transformers Movie.
As in the one and only TRUE Transformers movie.
You got the touch, you got the POWER!!!! -
Just got work cake AND pavlova in celebration of my birthday on Sunday.
I’m either crashing out for the rest of the arvo or all the sugar will make me hyper-productive.
But god damn one of those cakes has icing on it that was half sugar, half butter, and NO REGRETS.
if this was on twitter I would type the hash key and then use some descriptive word to say that I am feeling quite fat now
-
I now have cake envy.
I know the exact type of icing you describe sir. It is both diabetes-inducing AND delicious.
A deadly combination.
-
you know it’s goodbad for you when you bite the icing and you feel the sugar crunch in your teeth
I just had a coffee too. Sit tight, for in the next hour I may develop the ability to travel through time.-
Cool, can you bring me back those weird rubbery sticky hand things back in the 90’s that you could throw around and stick to other surfaces, then end up covered in dust and fluff a week later and completely useless.

I got banned when i put them in my sisters hair. My excuse c’mon you knew thats what i was gonna do mum. Its sticky and i wanted to mess with her.

MICRO MACHINES YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
I loved leaving those little bastards all over the place for people to step on and then swear loudly.

Apparently some of them sell for decent chunks of monies these days.
Kind makes you wish you took care of them better/knew where they were.-
One is in the S bend of our old toilet.
Don’t ask how it got there.
-

-
-
-
-
up at 4am, making stupid amounts of noise & mess then complaining that santa didnt bring you that bike you wanted?
seriously though, thats a nice haul. now go play games.
-
Haha, no I remember that Christmas, grade 6, I got an awesome mountain bike =D
Yeah, gotta disassemble the old one and clean the case OH GOD THE DUST.
-
-

That’s your power supply roach.
He checks the voltages and so forth. Good thing you replaced it now that he died.
-
-
-
-
Second lunch! Even better.
-

-
-
It’s been there as long as I can remember tbh. Passes road worthy every year, plus if we had to replace it, would be looking at a grand or more, damn trucks & having massive windscreens >.<

Ok so TAY needs an @ feature where you are notified when you are mentioned. Also lets you track conversations you were involved in… and everything else that would actually get me back into reading all of this…. So out of the loop.
Also, I think that Blood Apathy said it best when he said: TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO TRIALS EVO 🙂
-
I wholeheartedly agree.
But alas, TAY seems intent on being a clusterfuck that you need to manually wade through. Preferably with those big fishing gumboots.
-
DOn’t get me started on te price of gumboots either seriously. Mine cost me a entire chest full of gold plush my best slave. All so i can read TAY. You guys better be grateful … BE grateful

Why not just say you, an altar and a container of baby oil? We all knew what you really meant.

No way man he has a fez, chicks dig the Fez. Fez’es are cool

Well, I finally found my uni book…
Also, I received an e-mail:
“The items pertaining to your order have been shipped.”
I chucked the tracking number into the FedEx website..

Wow, massive nostalgia trip
Can’t say I ever really watched Art Attack
OH MY GOD! Budgie the Little Helicopter! I had completely forgotten about that show
Does anyone remember a Blinky Bill Movie? I watched that so many times
I still have every Animorphs book ever written. Something else that defined my childhood. Too bad the show was pretty terrible if I remember right.
Trapdoor freaked me out as a kid.I was surprised how many songs I could still sing along too.
-
Dammit Aidan, I was making the mistake of trying to get some work done.
But no I have spend the last half hour watching this as the related
-
-
Having grown up on 90’s cartoons I will have to respectfully disagree. 90’s were the golden age
-
-
But thunder cats and mask and silver hawks and duck tales and dino riders and tmnt

Dentist. Blood. Can’t feel my face. Otherwise I can’t complain…
Just glad it’s done really. I know I don’t post here much, but I’m home by myself, can’t speak and feel the need to share. 😛
-
-
-
-
Oh. Thanks for the heads up!
-
Save it for a day or two from now when the bruising etc starts coming out, it’ll soothe the inflammation.
Also, Colgate Savacol. If the dentist told you salt water or something, ignore them. Savacol is where it’s at. Super strong antiseptic. Swish every 2-3 hours for a week or two. You’ll be minty fresh and it helps keep everything clean and avoid infections, plus speeds up how quickly you heal (also works awesome for mouth ulcers)
-
Dentist actually recommended that but I couldn’t ask if I should start it straight away…
-
I can’t recall whether I was told to use it straight away or not. But I think I did.
-
Thanks for the advice, man much appreciated!
-
Thanks for the advice, man. Means a lot to me!
-
-
-
That time will come… Once the feeling returns to my face… 😛
I just pretended I was abducted by aliens, lying on table staring up at bright light. Couldn’t show weakness. 😀
-
Thanks, man. Pain got so bad before the surgery that I can’t imagine this could be any worse. Plus this will heal where as before it was indefinite. Honestly can’t (and won’t complain.)
Do your gums look like those dogs bollocks on the collar in your avatar?
JUST KIDDING. Get better soon mang. Hope they gave you some chewable morphine.

The chances of me going home, disrobing, falling into bed and watching Sherlock until I pass out are increasing by the moment.

Oh my God. I want to eat that rabbit. It cannot be allowed to live whilst being so cute. When I eat it, I will bite it’s head off and rainbows and confetti wil come out. Unicorns too. Rainbows.

I’m picturing that IS you. And that you are actually a small bunny posting on TAY from an old Nokia.

Just had a quick look at the website for the hotel we are staying at on the weekend.
Their main page had a flashing sign saying;
“We provide you satisfaction”
I am now very scared that Pez arranged accomodation for us 😛

-
I just told my parents about Saturday night. I’m 21, yet they insist on someone picking me up after work if I finish at 9pm. It’s about a 2 minute walk. This will be interesting…
-
I have this mental image of a whole crowd of TAYBIES standing outside your workplace asking if Batgirl can come out to play 🙂
-
Oh! Let’s do that! They’d probably freak out more about the dude to chick ration but WUTEVA. BTW, you guys are ‘my friends from uni’. I thought ‘internet friends’ was just asking for trouble.
-
You people and your excuses. Kind of amusing, I’ll admit.
-
It’s not my fault my parents think everyone on the internet wants to lock me up in a rape dungeon. They’re old, they don’t understand these things.
-
Wait, you mean we’re not supposed to want to lock you up in a rape dungeon?
H-uh, awkward.
-
It’s all about the free range rapees these days, Blaghs.
-
But then I’d need to leave my house!
Erggh, the times change far too quickly.
-
-
-
Yours think like that too HIGH FIVE! o/
-
“How about those… uh… essays and, um… 99% and vegan restaurants and stuff..?”
Please Flu, this is Macquarie Uni we’re talking about. Its all about the old Soviet style architecture. Batgirl knows what I mean
Let’s reminisce about how great tutorials were…
*shudder*
Why did you remind me? At least I had Frank the Bear the keep me company
FRANK THE BEAR?
You never saw Frank the Bear? You history people….
Frank is a life sized Kodiak Bear that died, got stuffed/preserved/whatever-you-want-to-call-it and is on display in the Biology department. He’s down in E8A (if I remember the building codes right)
OH! I never knew he had a name. I wanted to hug him.
I’m sure Frank’s knnes will appreciate it
-
-
I’ll have to settle for twiddling this highlighter instead.
-
I’ve just managed to accrue another 30 tasks in the last 2 hours, and managed to get approximately one finished.
This day is going well.
-
Silly man. The trick is to respond with ‘no’.
Repeat after me: “No”.
That was easy, wasn’t it?
-
-
-
-
-
You clearly didn’t push hard enough.
-
-
-
-
-
But… monsters eat people and buses…
I don’t. -
This is how they all start off.
Do you remember Dr. Jekyll eating chocolate muffins?
No.
And look what happened there…
-
What if I ate Pez?
-
You’d still be hungry.
-
-

So a while ago I convinced someone (with my amazing skills of manipulation) to buy Xenoblade. Solid effort by me because this person was pretty much a complete random at the time but they seem to be enjoying it since they’ve already played 4 hours of it today! 😀
Yay for Xenoblade!
I spied a big cookie at the bottom of the biscuit tin, so naturally I swiped it. Thought it might be stale, took a bite, seemed fine. Plopped myself back in front of the computer and kept eating… three quarters done, looked down to see a big mould spot on the bottom of the cookie. D:
If I don’t turn up to monomeat, I probably died from cookie mould. x _ x
-
-
-
-
-
It’s a personal choice. If you want to you can, if you don’t then don’t worry about it. I’m (hopefully) going to be dead in the middle of the two 😛
-
-
That’s most likely where I’ll end up.
-
Not if Pez has his way
Wink wink nudge nudge -
I will be the dapperest man in the room.
-
-
-
I’ll put on my fanciest nerdy shirt.
-
And pants I hope.
-
Pants?
What kind of meat is this?
-
I didn’t say they had to stay on, did I? Get it together, Bunny.
-
I bet the dude got MAD bitches.
Oh man 🙁 I hope everybody isn’t dressed too fancily. I have no good clothes and among my friends I have the worst fashion sense. Oh well.
Something like this? http://shirtstree.com/images/choice/CSL90308A.jpg 😛
Too many games /o\
Still trying to motivate myself to play SWTOR. Tera head start begins on Saturday. Diablo III is nearly out and I’ve got beta access to that as well. I pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 too, but apparently I did so just after they sent out the invitations for their open beta event for this weekend. Might be a good thing. And I’ve always got a stack of single player games to get around to as well /o\
What up nerdmigos?
Sitting in the hotel watching Spongebob and trying to decide what to do for dinner.

Do you have room service? If so ask them to make you a crabby patty. If they ask what a krabby patty is, slap them.
NO GUYS
it’s not my birthday today, it’s next week
I respectfully return your “happy birthday bish”‘s, and ask you save them for the 3rd 🙂
-
-
-
-
-
-
I swear someone else on here has the exact same birthday as me…
Not sure if they still post though, I only remember last year my birthday thunder was stolen 🙁
-
-
-
That totally counts.
-
Oh, totally 😀
-
-
-
Thanks to the lack of Bish here, I feel like I should clarify. I don’t think you understand.
We said. Happy. Birthday. *glares*
In bed, with a cup of tea.
I do believe this is the state I shall try to remain in for quite a while.
I really wish all these mayoral candidates would just eff right off and leave me the hell alone.
I’m so voting for the Elvis impersonator.

We have an honest to god Elvis impersonator running for the mayors job here. I’m voting for him for the pure. Awesomeness of the idea.
Plus all the other candidates are completely hopeless sleaze bags.

Nah, MSDNAA, got it from TAFE since I did IT so it’s legit & free! Pirating Windows is stupid imo when it’s <100 bucks for an OEM copy now!

Hey, so what’s with people trying to sell you stuff?
And by that I mean people trying to get you to sign up for a charity or people at those kiosks in shopping centres that sell that terrible Dead Sea Mineral stuff. I was walking by a train station today and this Charity dude tried to shake the hand of a guy walking past. He managed to grab hold. This was clearly done as an attempt for the guy to hear him out but he was holding his hand for 10 seconds. The guy looked so uncomfortable.
I remember in high school I was cornered by one of those Dead Sea Mineral people and since I wasn’t in a hurry I thought I’d be nice and hear the guy out. Anyway, he started rubbing some scrub into my wrist and he asked me if I was going to see my boyfriend. I foolishly said ‘no’ and he started yelling out ‘WHY NO BOYFRIEND, WHY NO BOYFRIEND’ in the middle of a very busy shopping centre.
-
Man, I hate walking between the uni and the train station or the shopping centre. That’s where all those charity people set up camp. I usually have sunglasses and my iPod on, so I’m just like ‘CAN’T HEAR YOU OR SEE YOU TOO BUSY TRYING TO LOOK COOL K BYE’
But you see them lock on to a target and stare them to death as the person gets closer and closer. I have a friend who doesn’t want to be rude to them and usually stops to listen, so when I’m walking with her I have to drag her by the arm away from them if I ever want to get anywhere at a decent time.
-
Had a dude tell me he was a famous singer in Germany. Shit, so why come over here and do this job?

Something something something
Snarky remark about you being socially awkward
something something something
Implied ugly joke
something somethingMan i got scammed hard by a chick at one of those places or at least tried to be scammed she was insanely beautiful and i walked a little to close to her while starring at her boo.. i mean face and she said hello. I acted casually and was like “bkergh Here is my credit card pretty lady ” Luckily my sister was around and told them i was kidding and moved me along. I am a sucker for a nice pair of boo.. i mean eyes.
-
I too fell for the insanely gorgeous boo…eyes, but unfortunately I was by myself and single at the time, so next thing I know I’m donating 20 bucks a week to the Heart Research Institute.
-
-
-
3 soaps and 4 bottles of skin cream, she was all like for your family members and your girlfriend , i bet she is beautiful. I was all like “WHatever you say lady pretty fun”
-
All of it. I bought the entire kiosk. It didn’t get me a boyfriend. THEY LIED TO ME.
I actually probably just ran off and cried and ate ice cream forever alone style
-
-
-
Directly across from my work is a Classic Holidays sales booth and it’s kind of amusing watching them bailing up everyone that walks past. They only get about 1 in 100 people and half of them walk away within 10 seconds.
I got my wife some of that dead Sea stuff a few years ago. Everything is still full and I’ve been sworn to never buy beauty products for her again.
-
The correct response to that is to turn what he’s saying into a song, and make it super awkward for them.
The best way to deal with awkwardness is to embrace the bizarre!

Hi TAY!
Today I didn’t do much because I was in incredible pain earlier on.
Must. Finish. Corset.

IMHO, any of those types of keyboard relies purely on wank factor.
Just get a Logitech or Microsoft keyboard.
I’ve had a simple Wired Keyboard 300 since last June and I’m currently still typing on it.-
I beg to differ.
I own a Razer mechanical (blackwidow ultimate) with Cherry MX Blue keys and it’s the comfiest, nicest keyboard I’ve owned in quite some time.
I’m not sure what sort of tech the saitek cyborgs use but I’d do a quick google to find out if I were you. Even the higher quality membrane keyboards are still better than a $5 cheapo one.
-
-
Saitek make rather good peripherals from what I have heard, back in the days when I was on the Pure Pwnage forums a lot had that brand keyboard. So yeah I guess they’re pretty good.
Just read up on the number of people that are planning to come to Canberra for the June meat.
Epic!!!
Also, Melbourne people should band together and make the trip up. You can totally make Pixel drive you up. That way, he has to come too!
-
-
-
-
-
Hahaha, I love it.
-
Rize came up with it a few pages back 😛
-
Oh, I must have missed it.

It appears so. I just didn’t want to take credit for something that wasn’t of my doing 😀
Y’know, give credit where it’s due 🙂

You’re my house?
Well this is awkward. You mean I’ve bee-

I don’t know if I should be ashamed that my mind went the same way as you or proud that I wasn’t the only one that did haha

Maybe both?

Awesome!
*waits for scree to win lotto*I always figured if I ever won lotto I’d organise a HoliTAY. 2 weeks in a location chosen by the crowd for one giant megameat.

I vote Tahiti

but I never enter lotto ._.
I would love that, but there’s no one to look after my Mum or my Dog

Bring them too!

Awesome \o/ Sid loved people

Only if they’re for a family member, otherwise just Spirit Camera

Soooo… if I sell my 3DS, I get a new 3DS and game?
\o/ -
Why do you need a new one?
-
Because it’ll be new and shiny!
\o/ -
I can have the old one?
-
I would gladly accept! …And play it until I get scared and have to go play Kirbys Epic Yarn to calm myself down.
-
-

I dunno, I think it shouldn’t be that bad.
Mind you i laughed at the promo movie =P

One day. One day.
I’m not even sure the wii still works. It’s easily been 6 months since it was last turned on.

Catalyst demonising video games, and getting facts wrong:
-
jesus christ
way to say “no one over twelve should play video games” catalyst, didn’t watch the video, but i assume there is footage of kids playing call of duty and halo in it
-
I liked the part about if they were addicted to gaming, this this and this got worse, but if they stopped being addicted it got better.
Symptoms, not causes, people!
-
That was painful to read…
Hey, did I tell you about how I was addicted to books when I was younger? /sarcasm -
Today’s awkward discovery: apparently I share my internet handle with a Japanese porn game.
Not sure how I feel about this.
-
-
-
-
Yeah, that looks like it. Video’s a bit risque (skimpy outfits) but not explicit. Still a bit… odd. Apparently ‘Negative Zero’ is the main character’s magical girl transformation.
-
Yeah I watched it basically straight after I posted… haha You must play it to make sure your username is not being used inappropriately!
-
I have to admit I’m slightly tempted. Morbid curiosity.
-
-
-
-
-
I thought your main handle was Atomic Strawberry? (which I looked up and appears to be some sort of band)
-
It is my main handle, older than this one. I was just using it here for a while so I stuck with it.

Finished watching Sherlock. It’s weird, I’ve never read the books or really seen any of it before but through pop culture osmosis, I know some of the things that happen.
Good show.

TAY’s eating my ROT13! /o\
Anyway, I was trying to say that I liked ep 1 of Season 2 the most, especially the ending.
-
-
I’d never read the books before either but I bought one after watching the show. The books take a lot of getting used to after being introduced through a modern setting. 😛 Still pretty interesting though.
-
From what I’ve heard, the books rely on an older style of mystery story where the clues are not shown to the reader at all. This means that there are rather roundabout ways of showing what’s happening because mentioning of one important detail gives the whole thing away, which they didn’t want to do.
-
Yeah that’s probably a good way of describing it. I’ve only read a few of the short stories but they are pretty light of details until the big reveal at the end when it all makes sense.
It’s interesting reading stories that the episodes were based on though. They were pretty clever finding modern ways of adapting things, I thought. -
Not really. Most of them, the clues are there to be noticed, and the book delights in making you feel like a right idiot not connecting them properly 🙂
-
-
-
PEOPLE HAVEN’T EVER READ SHERLOCK HOLMES!? I weep for all of you.
Also I used to have drinking parties with Sherlock.

Damnit. That went tits up.

Is it just me or has Mass effect 3 really toned down the language? I think in 10 hours I’ve heard someone swear once. In ME2 it was all over the place.

Wasn’t sure if that was a sarcastic response or not (which I assume it is)
But the thing is these equations… what are they for? Seriously, they don’t tell you what symbol is what… :/

Yeah, I was hoping that it was a cheat sheet you could take into the test. I could only tell you if they were SCIENCE! symbols. I’m guessing sigma ∑ is still total. But I’m operating under the assumption that rho ρ doesn’t mean density 🙂

Come gather round children let me tell you about when I went to Mamasita. It was so amazing my mouth is still drooling from it.
The corn was so delicious, and then there were little chips with venison on it. And then there was a taco with ox tongue and cheek!!! It had ghost chilli mayo! The mayo was barely spicy but oh god the ox cheek and tongue was so awesome. And then there was lamb quesadilla which was so nom nom nom with all the amazingness.
But the mole negro. Oh the rich chocolate sauce all over awesome chicken. I wanted to lick that plate with the wonderful sauce. It was so beautiful. So awesome.
And last but not least was a chocolate cake and delicious grilled pineapple with chili sorbet. I like chili in everything. It wasn’t in the chocolate cake but the sorbet was so delicious.
And that was Mamasita. It was great, it was delicious, I want to eat 5 plates of the mole negro chicken.
Also McGarnical, F4ction and Tigerion were there. McGarnical proved to be the worst person of the meat by not showing up at the start and preventing us from being seated (they had a party must have all arrived before seating policy)
-
-
Then me and Neg0 can finally try out some Mexican food!
But Mamasita sounds good :). Makes me skeleton jelly
-
Yeah I’ll totally come next time. Thursday’s just a bad day for me generally 🙁
Skeleton jelly.

See, this is how Meat write-ups should be.

Hi guys,
I don’t post much on TAY, mostly because I can’t cope with the lack of structure. I really don’t ever start my own threads – I prefer responding to people because it lets me at least have something to start from.
Anyway, my point is that:
Re: TS. I understand all of your points about courtesy and politeness, and I can see how me moving out of the channel could have been interpreted.
The fact remains that we were in a lobby for a game, (which is what we were actually discussing), bunny says “lol players should leave when playing lol” or words to that effect, and I think he was trying to start a discussion. I basically went “whelp, in lobby, dick move, but okay” and moved.
(And then was followed by the other people sitting in lobby, because that’s what TS is GOOD at, is letting you play games together. We then noted Jo had come online and so went in to main channel to say hi, and then left again. This was all during the loading of the game or champ select or something).
Implying that I was originally mad at anyone for this is stupid, because I was a little annoyed, but not actually “mad with you”.
Anyway, my point is – if you want to have a discussion about getting people playing a game to leave during game time, don’t do it when a game is about to begin and then get offended when we do what you have asked us to.
Re: Bunny.
Yes, I clearly have the shits with you, I have explained at length why to you personally so I won’t bring that too much out here.
Suffice to say that throwing my name in to a discussion which I clearly could not respond to (and often do not get time to read) (ie during work hours (although most hours are my work hours)), is a clear dick move and, dude, I like you, and I’m rarely offended, but you know how to push my buttons, so I’m going to assume you knew what you were doing here. superrunonlongsentenceisover.
-
oh yeah, sorry if my post makes no sense.
Clearly working long hours does good things to my brain.I’M A DOC-TORRRR
-
-
-
m mmmph mmphhhh mmmppphhh!!
-
-
-
-
I wasn’t trying to push any buttons and the timing was just pure coincidence. I clearly missed some of this stuff so from my end the only way to see it was that you were mad at me.
The name drop was dumb. Quite a lot of how I approached this whole thing was dumb.
-

ASOS keeps emailing me about sales and discounts. I’m just…so weak. Just a few more weeks until I have some play money.

Actually it was done not long after I posted that haha. Just now I have the job of sorting through it *sob*

Kevin Smith was awesome! I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.
Sorry to the Melbourne meat folks. If I wasn’t with other people I would’ve come along /o\
So, what’s new?
-
-
-
I think I’d prefer Mosier. Mewes is funny and all but he gets old (HA!) fairly quickly and starts to grate. Better in small doses. Mosier is just a genuinely interesting guy.
-
Mossier is hilarious!
Smodcast and Smoviemakers are my favourite podcasts they do.
-
-
-
-
Heard it was hilarious. Glad you had a good time, mang.
BUT AW SHIT, IT’S NOT GOING TO BE AS FUN AS MONOMEAT.
Geddit? Because you won’t be there!
-
Your right. It won’t be fun because I won’t be there. May as well call the whole thing off.
Nah, it’s cool. I’ll just sit on TAYbar by myself.
I’m so ronery, so ronery, so ronery and sadry arone.

I sure am making alot of grammer mistakes tonight. It would suck if I where not doing it on purpose too troll someone.
-
Haha whatever you have to tell yourself, mang.

The first your/you’re was a legitimate mistake. All others since have been on purpose.
-
You are such a dickrag!

No arguements there.

You two. Get one.
Thanks.

I couldn’t install it. I lent someone the extras disk and I can’t install it without it. I was distraught when it failed.
I didn’t get past Vizima the first time :\

Bugger. I’m happy to offer you a copy of mine, if you want it (as long as you use your key :P). It’s no the enhanced edition so you’d have to go through patching etc.

Found a packet of playing cards and am now attempting to invent a new card game. It’s a lot harder than I thought it would be. 😛
I should probably go to bed…
-
I invented a new card game once, I brought all my friends along to play it, and they loved it!
Turns out it had already been invented, and is called Solitaire.
-
-
I remember back in primary school I made up a card game called triple threat.
It was basically a game where each person was dealt three cards, and whoever had the highest card total won.
An ace was worth one, 2-10 were face value, jacks were eleven, queens worth twelve, and kings were worth thirteen.
Good times….
-
I hope you’re ready for that repeated for lord knows how long its runtime is.
Except for that point where you’re being chased by a tractory machine thing. Seriously, what?
-
Blaghs don’t ruin it by telling me it is repetitive D=
Meh I liked GTA IV and it was a lot of the same, ah how I managed to clock 160hours in that game no one will ever know..
-
I liked GTA IV too, hell, when it came out I went one night without sleep, and only got 2 hours of sleep the following night, thanks to playing it.
LA Noire just didn’t quite hold me until the end. I was 90% of the way through it when I stopped playing…
-
Ah fair enough. To be fair i’ve been to one crime scene and bashed one perp, I thought it was cool xD
-
I loved L.A. Noire, but my adventure gaming heritage goes way back. I particular loved playing in that world, taking my time with the crime scenes, circling a suspects house for suspicious activity before interrogating them. Good times.

I am thinking of sucking it up and buying a new computer, figure I will start with the Deluxe rig at below link and go from there:

Never built a PC before so suggestions, tips, good places to buy stuff ect that would be most helpful.
Cheers.

That config will be out of date in a few weeks. Hold off until the Ivy Bridge stuff is out IMO. The difference isn’t amazing but you’re talking maybe 10% more grunt at 77W instead of 90W.
-
Mornin’ TAY!
Holy freakin’ frak, excited for the meat! I can’t wait to look like I’m dressed like a bum in comparison to everyone else there!
Also, finally starting to make some headway with The Witcher (again). Had to drop all graphics settings to minimum, bar the resolution for it to stop crashing everyone 20 minutes. Now it’s once an hour or less \o/
-
You mean you aren’t a bum?
Because when you wandered into Blaghsy’s place, I was all “… Well, the more the merrier!” -
HAI EVERYONE!
For those who may have missed the awesome, the monomeat is tomorrow.
To recap: Out the front of the monorail station at the gallerie place (I STILL DON’T KNOW ITS PROPER NAME) at 11:30AM. From there, we shall ride around and around… and around and around.
Then we shall fetch lunch.
Following this a few of us will split off and go check into the room we have.
NOTE: If you are staying overnight, probably a good idea to pack a change of clothes etc. Check-in isn’t until 2pm; I’ll be parking in the city so in the interim anyone with bags can store them in my car.
From here, it’s onto our time honoured tradition of galaxy world (BUMPER CARSES) then dinner, followed by all the drinks.
For those passing out in the hotel room there is finally the post-hangover breakfast the next morning, which is the best breakfast every in the history of all things.
Finally, for those who are staying overnight and haven’t paid yet, remember to bring your cash with you and give it to me tomorrow. At that point I can distribute the cash refunds to those ofus who payed full price.
Remember, Dress Code: Dapper as hell. Those of you who are not dapper will not look out of place. Which as we all know is a bad thing.
Really looking forward to seeing everybody there. It is going to be a GREAT day and I think we’re going to have one of the biggest turnouts we’ve seen in a while.
EVERYONE’S COMING! It’s like a porno.
Except for that Pixel guy.
He’s too good for us.
Apparently.
:'(
-
Woohoo! Stuff!
Also, I gotta ask, just how many people are actually dressing up for this thing and should I attempt to look at least a little neat/tidy?-
If you come in anything other than a loincloth, i’m pretty sure people will be incredible disheartened.
-
-
-
-
I THOUGHT YOU WERE WEARING A BOW TIE.
I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE BUDDIES.
Y U DO THIS TO ME?
-
I was going to bring both to cover my bases and decide on the day.
But mostly because I thought it’d be hilarious if everyone else showed up with ties and only you had the bowtie.
-
I’m packing a both now.
Screw you. WE’RE GOING TO MATCH IF IT KILLS ME.
-
I’m sure you will pack a both.
-
YES.
Yes I am.

Correct term for someone who corrects Pez is BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE.

I will be wearing a bright honking red t-shirt with a dinosaur on it! I have no idea what any of you look like, so I figured if I wear something easily spotted than one of you might yell out to me? xD At least it might make it easier for Mashaaaaaa to find me if we’re on the same train.
Plus I have no dapper clothes. 😛
Hells yeah!
I don’t know if my maximum dapper levels will be sufficient, so I may be wearing half dapper/half lazy slob.
Oh also, are you parking at that place I told you to?
If you are:
A) There is another carpark on the same street (Secure Parking, I believe?) which I believe is a jerk and may charge you ludicrous amounts. That one is 383 Kent Street. So watch out for that.
2) If I manage to pick up Rize early, I might just get him to dump stuff in my car to save you a trip of heading back and getting him to dump stuff in your car. We can grab it later when you guys go to check-in I guess.
-
Sweet, sounds good.
Yes indeed I am parking at 431 as directed by you. DON’T LET ME DOWN MANG.
I shall keep an eye out for that 383 bastard. He sounds tricksy.
-
Since this is my first meat, does anyone have an average budget for the day’s events? . I’ve planned for my train and bus tickets of course but I want to plan for the miscellaneous expenses. I’ve never been to galaxy world, is there an entry fee? Are we having dinner at a fancy restaurant?
If anyone has an idea of a good amount of money to carry please let me know, I don’t want to carry too little and miss out on stuff.-
$100 should cover the entire day very easily including drinks at the end.
-
No entry fee for Galaxy World, and this will give you an idea of the prices. Basically you put money on a card that can be used for the arcade games. I can’t remember how much the bumper cars are, but there is a package there that gives you 4 goes for $12.
You’ll have to ask the rest of the guys about the other stuff though. I have no idea. 😛
-
Galaxy world has no entry fee, we usually get a family pass when we are there that will allow us a go on the bumper cars and one hour on continuous play. It will set you back $10. Since we are meeting at 11-ish i assume we will be getting some lunch, we usually go to ichiban boshi, the food is good and reasonably priced (it’s about $15 a meal) I assume dinner will be about the same cost, in terms of drinks, that’s totally up to you. So all together you will spend about $50 – $60 for food and entertainment + whatever you want to drink
-
Wow, that first sentence, just…wow. I amaze myself sometimes. Not even i know what the hell i was trying to write.
-
Also, don’t worry if you can cover it all. We’re team Kotaku, we’ll sort it out.
-
Those sound like reasonable prices, thanks for the info guys. It seems like a weekend of firsts for me, I’ve never been to galaxy world or Ichiban boshi.
-
Also, if you’re coming by train, the best place to get off is at Town Hall, it’s very close to the Monorail station, like 2 mins walk.
-
Thanks ruffleberg. I’ve been to Sydney a few times but I spend most of my time in Wollongong.
-
-
I’m super excited! I finish work at about 4.30 so I should get into the city about 5.30. Anyone nice want to meet me at the station so I don’t get lost? 😀
-
-
-
I like to ruin moments.
-
I’ve noticed.
-

Sooooo.. guys.
If i held a big meet in G-town in june/july, who would be interested in coming down?
I was thinking of having a table-top and video game night, but there’s a bit of interest from a few people and my place is pretty small, so i was thinking of hiring out one of the gaming club halls in the geelong CBD.
If any Victorian or interstate people may be interested, just let me know so i can look into how much it might set me back.
-
-
-
Probably should make it July, Blagh’s has a big Meat in Canberra late June(which you’re required to attend, by the way 😛 ), and Bunny has one up here in early June. Both are having out of state guests.
That said, as I’m attending Blagh’s I most likely won’t be able to make yours. 🙁
-
-
I’d be up for that. Could bring down some of my big stack of board games too. A bit of a drive though, would have to be on a weekend.
Greenius: I could probably give you a lift.
-
I put this on twitter but I’m going to put this here too.
I talked my brother into getting Journey. He sent me his review.
“Journey is fucken stupid. The whole game is some Christian artist fucking a tub of butter.”
-
-
-
-
-
I feel that we can use this knowledge to our benefit, somehow. Like, when a big argument breaks out on a Kotaku article, we can let your brother off the chain and he can tear them apart, or something 😀
-
-
Re-post because no-one will see otherwise.
Oh PC gaming master race, I beseech your wisdom.
I am thinking of sucking it up and buying a new computer, figure I will start with the Deluxe rig at below link and go from there:
http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/rmp_sg_whirlpoolpcs_gaming_configs_1
Never built a PC before so suggestions, tips, good places to buy stuff ect that would be most helpful.
Cheers.
-
First time I’ve actually read the Whirlpool suggestions, and they’re not bad.
I’m still a little confused about the amount of hatred towards i7s. People tell me that bang for buck they’re not worth it, but if you’re planning to spend $1500-$2000 it usually fits in with no significant change in cost.
-
I gather the i7 advantages are more useful for intensive data crunching and image processing and would not really be used for gaming.
-

pccasegear.com
scorptech.com
umart.comAre all reasonable. I normally go with scorptech, purely because I have had great support from them in the past. Their prices aren’t too bad, but you can find better. Can’t see anything wrong with that build – 8gb of ram and a i5 2500K should be ample power for gaming.
-
Hey guys I have a favour to ask, I have a mate on XBL (GT: Nebones) who doesn’t have many aussie mates to challenge in Trials Evo, if you want an extra name to chase on the leaderboards then add him up.
Thanks 😀
-
-
-
-
I looked him up, ready to add him but he had like 80ish friends. I didn’t want to clog up his friends list since I’m a random but he can add me if he still wants too 🙂
Greenius
So i just yelled at a customer, like full on yelled. He got mad cause i sent him a wrong cable. The thing is a sent him the cable he asked for. He called me moronic and unable to do my job properly. This happened when the CEO was in my room. I said i am sorry you felt that way i will send the required cable straight away if he told me exactly what he wanted. He then called me a dumb smartarsed prick and asked to be put onto my manager. I said to this guy “FINE BUT I WARN YOU HE JUST LIKE ME IS NOT A FUCKING MIND READER” My CEO giggled and answered the call and hung up like 2 seconds into the call. Stupid customers, i don’t think i am a people person.
-
-
Strange , I missed you even though you werern’t gone 😛 I think i need to reply to at least one of your comments a week.
-
-
It’s funny cuz it’s so true. I get that a lot too, happens every few days. Except my last time it happened was during a 100% automated process that the customer initiates and puts in all the details, and said it was our fault that they got it wrong… I really wanted to send a cruise missile their way… I really did
-
-
Dentist appointment was a big success. I apparently have a great set of teeth and don’t have to go back for another 12 months. \o/
-
Wow Nice try robot, What do you need teeth for other than sawing limbs of your prey (in this case i am aware robots don’t prey on people, i am doing it for dramatic effect)
-
I use teeth to try and mimic a good looking/sexy smile, obviously… I think I fail at that though 😛
-
-
-
It’s been ages since I’ve been to the dentist. I should probably book myself in for an appointment but my teeth have been feeling fine so…
BEE PLAYED MORE TRIALS EVOLUTION WITH ME LAST NIGHT!!!!
WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!?!?!?!
Sooooo awesome 😀
-
Also i went back and slammed some of my beginner times! 😀
I’ll probably tackle them again for better stuffs before moiving on to the next lot.Greenius, i will make myself you main competitor again, this i swear!!!!
-
-
What track? 😛 I never really bothered with getting quicker times on most of them as I was just trying to complete/get gold 🙂
-
I can’t remember.
I only played each track once to get golds as well, and noticed i beat one of your times.Needless to say i’ll need to go back to ensure it stays that way 😛 lol
-
Bring it.
-
Consider it brung!
-
I have platinum medals now Loops. I’m in FatShady territory!
https://twitter.com/#!/JoelGreenius/status/195441625911140352/photo/1
lol literally 1 spot above him with a 0.001 quicker time
(he’s since beaten me :P)
-
son of a gun… how much hare you playing?!?!?! LOL
-
I dunno my in game time says like 18 hours or something 😛
In my defence I rarely played HD so I’m spending most of my time in Evo 😀
-
noice.
Ive probably had a total of 2-3 hours in it so far… lolNeed to step up my gaem!
-
There’s that whole unemployed Uni student thing as well 😛
Plenty of free time
-
that explains a heck of a lot then lol
-
-
-
That reminds me. Last night in JBHiFi I saw one of those purply PSPs on it’s own, without the crappy Hannah Montana stuff. It was for $148 I think. Did you ever find what you needed?
-
haha typical.
Yeah i actually got a killer deal on ebay that i couldn’t pass up.Black psp 1000
5 games
4 gig card$50 freight included.
Plus i found Crash Bandicoot and theme hospital installed on it as well!!!What an absolute STEAL! So stoked.
It’s actually really funny, since the vita came, she has been cranky at me for not giving her my PSP, completely unaware that i have one for her…It’s her birthday tomorrow, so no more waiting!!! YAY!!! I can’t wait!!! So much planning is all about to come good!!!
I still have to write a speech though… good grief….-
-
haha i’ll be sure to let you know on Monday how everything goes 😀
-
-
I’m trying to think of something clever or interesting to post so TAY updates for me but I can’t think of anything. Guess this will have to do.
-
-
Aww man missed opportunity!
Looks like she’ll have to take… a leap of Faith
notverygoodatpuns
lol
-
-
man everyone is raving about this one…
Does it matter if i haven’t bothered to even watch the hulk…. or thor….or iron man 2… or captain america….
lol -

Mornin’ all. My comments have been getting nommed by the web server lately so trying a new email address.
-
-
Also does this mean that my previous email has been blocked/banned? I haven’t done anything report worthy lately :/
-
-
How do we know you’re the real Steve-O?
Actually, you know what? I don’t want to know how you plan on proving that. We’ll just take you at your word.

In Starcraft news, looks like Flash (undisputed best player in Starcraft: Brood War) is apparently preparing to make the transition to SC2.
Which basically means that SC2 as an esport is going to completely change.

Silly Harli :p

Played some original Dota Tuesday night with some mates over some beers. I am really bad at Dota now. Last hits were at an all time low, I missed two tower denies and it took me too long to realise half of my items were in the stash…
I did however block off an ally with Venomancer venom wards and he died to enemy heroes. Made the night worth while.
Last day of Mr. Strange’s holidays. I’m not sure if I should be sad because he’s going back to work, or glad that I get control of the TV back. 😛
-
Good, maybe you can then memorize directions to your house.
YES IT STILL PAINS ME TO THINK OF IT.
-
-
Everyone wants me to play Trials so they know they’ll never be the worst on their friends list. 😛
-
Oh you… lol
I’m sure you won’t be the worst because you’ll instantly get addicted and slowly work your way up the leaderboards!

It was a cold dark winter night.
The snow capped the treetops
Woodland creatures we huddled close together in their hiding places.
The winds howled wickedly, toying with leaves in invisible fingers
Glass-like ice covered the ground, turning grass into razor-blades.
Today was not a good day to forget my pants.
I’ll miss you, Mr. Winkie.
Morning TAY.
Watched Spirited Away for the first time the other day & I dug it. I’ve also heard many good things about the rest of the studio’s work, so if any of you fine people have a suggestion for which Studio Ghibli film(s) I need to get next, let me know.
Also, late to the party, but Terraria is great.
that is all.
-
-
I would say that Princess Mononoke and pPirited away are probably my favourite pieces of cinema. Just such awesome movies. But i haven’t watched a ghibli film i disliked yet except for ponyo which to be fair was still rather beautiful.
-
-
-
Grave of the Fireflies (1 tied SO SAD)
My Neighbour Totoro (3)
Howl’s Moving Castle (1 tied)
Ponyo (2 so happy!)I wasn’t a fan of Earthsea so I wouldn’t recommend that at all…
(preference in brackets)
There’s other older ones I hear are amazing but I’ve yet to see them.
And yes, Terraria is awesome! Are you playing on the TAY server?
-
-
I’d say Howl’s Moving Castle is my favourite after Spirited Away. They’re all good though so see them all if you can!
-
-
Get all of them!
Serious response though, I always enjoyed Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and Howl’s Moving Castle. From memory Princess Mononoke and Laputa castle in the sky are also awesome, though it’s been a while since I’ve seen them.
-
-
-
-
I thought Ponyo was boring too, it was probably meant for a younger audience.
Also, where is the Porki Rosso love?
-
I like that you like the movie about a chuavinistic pig.
Also did I hear rumours about a sequel?-
totally missed the chance to say squeakel!
-
-
-
Oh my go Harli, those are my thoughts exactly. I was so bored after watching Ponyo, the visuals were great but the overall film was just meh.
-
-
There has never been a bad Studio Ghibli film. They are simply varying levels of good.
If you liked Spirited Away your next one should be Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
If I had to rank the ones I’ve seen all the way through, it’d be:
– Castle in the Sky
– Princess Mononoke
– Nausicaa
– Porco Rosso
– Spirited Away
– Totoro
– Kiki’s Delivery Service
– Ponyo
– Arrietty
– Howl’s Moving Castle
– Whisper of the Heart
– The Cat Returns
– The Yamadas
– Tales From Earthsea
– Pom PokoI never finished Grave of the Fireflies for various reasons, and still haven’t seen Only Yesterday or Ocean Waves, and From Up on Poppy Hill isn’t out on DVD/BD until June. Also technically Nausicaa isn’t a Studio Ghibli film, Ghibli was set up for Laputa.
ich bin crank. tonight i will consume an entire bulb of garlic to ensure i am well for tomorrow’s meat.
-
-
Fun fact: Garlic has been known to naturally increase testosterone levels.
So don’t make her angry.
-
-
-
‘Tis true.
When I used to attempt to break the 70kg barrier many years ago I would always eat a whole clove of garlic before bed.
I was not allowed in the house while I ate it and the stench of garlic filled the house shortly thereafter.
-
but the real question is.. did it work?
-
Is he 70kg?
-
I broke it once, by eating so much food that I could actually skip a meal and still feel full.
It’s very very hard to be fat.

This week has been weird.
Had a three day weekend thanks to my rostered day off, then worked Tuesday before having ANZAC Day off. Came into work yesterday, got bugger all done. Came into work today, don’t feel like improving on yesterday’s performance.
Must be the weather. I don’t really have much of a schedule to throw off with all this :p
Hardcore mode in Diablo 3 has apparently been made more hardcore. No real money auction house, equipment is lost permanently on death (instead of having a friend follow you around to loot your corpse), not dying is made much more difficult (can’t spam potions, can’t set up TPs as escape routes before getting into combat etc).
I think I might have to try this.
-
Have the haters taught you nothing? Diablo3 is a casual game for babies. A baby game for babymen (and/or babywomen – but girls dont play gaems) and if you play it then you are a baby who likes casual games with bad graphics and you dont play real man games. Like Katawa Shoujo.
-
So is there a Melbourne meat on this weekend or did I misread something?
Was it Harli that mentioned it?
-
Sydney Meat.
Epic epic Sydney Meat.
There was a tiny Melbourne meat yesterday, but that was both insignificant and inconsequential.
MONOMEAT.
-
Actually no,
there was plans to meat up at some Lindt chocolate cafe on Collins street. Jordi and SarcasmFairy don’t have all the details yet 🙂

Anyone have anything they’d like to bring up about Corsair RAM in general, particularly dominator and vengeance? I’m looking at RAM stuff and generally pretty wary of “gaming” RAM.
-
u can download moar ram 4 free at\ downloadmoreram.com
Hey! Uninteresting story from the other day!
A guy claiming to be from Microsoft called claiming they were getting distress emails from my IP, and that I needed to do stuff. So I was all SURE BUDDY, and put the phone down and went back to washing the dishes, except every minute or so I’d come back and go “Mmmm-hmmm”.
I think it only lasted 4 minutes before he caught on and hung up.-
I’d have played along.
On my Mac.
Then when they caught on, I’d say “wait, did you mean my PC? It was turned off but give me a minute, I’ll start it up”
Then I’d just start playing Trials.
Shame I don’t have a landline.
-
Well, the time I picked up the phone before he hung up he was talking about pressing Windows key and R and asked me what I saw. I assumed it was the little Run box thing, and since he continued yabbering I must have been right, but I suppose when he got up to “Type this program into the run box. Do you see thousands of sexy russian images? Because that is normal” and I didn’t reply, he might have been tipped off.
I’m glad I ate up at least 4 minutes of him pestering another person, but I think playing along for longer would have been effort.
-
-
4 minutes is junior league, sonny! I kept one of these guys on the phone for an hour – took me 20 minutes just to run eventviewer from my start menu. He only hung up at the end of the hour after “Oh, wait a second. I have a microwave, not a computer!”
-
Love those guys!
Until I found out that they scammed a friends grandmother into paying a chunk of money for some bullshit thing or another. Fortunately, froze her bank account before the money left, so it all ended well. -
-
I’ve seen a concerning number of people claiming they’ll look like hobos at tomorrow’s Meat…
Where’s the dapper, people? WHERE’S THE DAPPER!?
I think i am going to work on my comic this weekend with a readable version done on monday. I might do weekly installments if i get time. Does anybody have experience in publishing a web comic, What do I do guys? I know very little about site design and what not.
-
-
-
WordPress is a good place to start. There’s a downloadable theme for it called Comicpress, which is tailor made for webcomics, and also has a vibrant help community.
Also, comic?
-
-
Just use ComicPress. Dead simple. You should be able to set up a free WordPress account and install it on there.
-
-
i tried having a coffee today to see if maybe i will like one now that i’m a bit older and more mature…
nope, coffee stil tastes like poopy butt
-
I’ll be at the football while everyone else is at the monomeat. Could try and be with you guys in spirit by suiting up but that seems rather derpy :p
Been watching random episodes of Archer after watching Sherlock.
Really want to try and work in “what are you not getting about this?” “Clearly the core concept.” to a conversation.
-
Next time I see Pez and Shiggy smoke a cigar, I’m going to slap them and yell at them for trying to blow us all up.
-

Whatevs man, you’re the ones putting in your mouth and breathing it in or whatever you do with cigars.

I tired out the Dragon’s Dogma demo last night. I am sold on it.
Being on a budget prevents me from being a day-one purchase but I will pick it up sometime. It’s damn good fun 🙂
After making my character and my pawn I got stuck into the Griffin (Gryphon?) fight, to have both me and my pawn grab hold of it’s head and beat the ever-loving crap out of it as it started flying about was an awesome feeling. And I must admit being able to create your pawn to precisely how you want them to be is a very effective way of getting you attached to them quick.
So yes the game looks epic, it takes small parts of Dark Souls, Skyrim, Amalamalur, and even Shadow of the Colossus and blends them up into something that while it doesn’t look very different to western RPGs, it feels fresh enough to be something new and fun.
Starting to think i might make TAY the only comments section i participate on from now on. Too many negative comments on news articles and stuff upset me.
Anywys ,back to games. I went back to Trials HD lastnight because i wanted to do the Unyielding challenge so i could get the donkey on Evo. Also managed to get another 2 achievements i previously didnt have. So it was a productive revisit.
Wont get much gaming in on the weekend as it looks like its going to be DAMNED busy. But thats ok. Im sure i’ll make up for it at another time.
-
I only comment on Kotaku and Giant Bomb. Looking through comments on other gaming sites can really spoil your day if you’re not careful, especially IGN. I go there to look at any news Kotaku might not have published and every feature/article is filled with console arguments, COD bashing, insults and sexist comments.
-
Yeah sometimes Kotaku comments can devolve into YouTube comment levels of poop.
Best stay here where it’s more awesome 🙂-
look it is my own fault. I know what to expect when i read a call of duty related article. Just get sick of the “cod fan = retard” line of defence these elitists put on. Like we dont play any other game.
-
The bunnies are coming to get us. Saw this over at Giant Bomb and I thought I’d warn you all.

Dammit, who’s been giving out the secret plans again?
Was it Flopsy? I bet it was Flopsy, he’s such a jerk.
-
-
In hindsight, clicking on this link while shaped was a bad idea. I’ll get back to you in twenty minutes when it’s loaded…
-
So just read on Facebook another friend of my uncle’s who he did his flight training with & flew with in PNG died yesterday in a plane crash in Indonesia whilst on a job surveying.. From what dad told me, not many of his flying buddies are alive any more from his days in PNG, which was 30 something years ago..
So my SWTOR characters got transferred. I delete one of my placeholders, double-click the appropriate character and enter name.
It renamed a different character instead.
Had to delete that character (level 26 trooper) to get my intended name back. There goes about 15 hours of my life. Strangely I’m not hugely upset. Just feeling a bit of regret, and a bit annoyed at myself for expecting that anything in this bloody game actually work in a logical or intuitive way. I think I was already pretty much done with it but I noticed they charged me for 3 months subscription right before adding the ‘free’ month so I guess I’m subscribed until August or so anyway. :\
So yeah, I’m on the AU PvP server (republic side) now, but I’m not feeling particularly motivated.
-
-
-
-
i may or may not have gotten a little excited.
Then i saw accounting.
I’m not ashamed to admit i automatically thought of “69”

That’s a little older than I like them

@#35: I answered your question re: Studio Ghibli with a personal listing on page 17 if you care (which you probably don’t)
-
I do indeed care. Thanks 🙂
I’ve decided to track down & buy all of em. one every payday. I’m gonna start with Castle in the Sky & go from there.-
Although not Ghibli Nausicca is awesome and well worth a watch 🙂
I’m surprised at how many people weren’t into Ponyo 🙁
-
Ponyo is a good film, but it’s not an amazing film, and it feels very derivative. He’s done the same ideas before.
-
-
On DVD? I can give you some of them if you like, I’ve been buying the Japanese Bluray releases as they come out so my DVDs are now unnecessary. Can’t remember for sure which ones I’ve got spare.
-
Another reminder to accept the friend request or send one to MokoTAYbikeu on XBL if you want in on the Trials Evo comp.
Also, How is everyone. Good? Thats good to hear. This is like some sort of crazy Friday and Tuesday all rolled up into one? Its good, just feels wierd.

Hey Shady!

Motor Bike TAY Kotaku = MokoTAYbikeu (cc Pez)
I like it so thats what the account is called. I decided to create a silver XBL account so only the actual dudes involved will be on the leaderboards, rather than going through my friends list.
Also it looks like we have Junglist competing with us, and Im hoping to get Ben and Serrels from Kotaku involved. Im also trying to get a few other peeps from around the place too, but the main thing that I want to create is strong competition for people in here. Sughly has already proven that he is a front runner…
But I want to remind you all that this is not about only the first place, I want to create competition at all levels. You will quickly find people of a similar skill level, and you focus on beating them. This process will gradually make you improve.
-
Oh and I can’t send bulk messages on xbox.com because it is a silver account, so sorry if I didnt say who i was.
-
I should get around to adding that account to my friends list but I’m not really competing in Trials yet. Still trying to get the hang of things :p
Because I suck.
-
I mean it when I say join anyway. Even if you are simply competing to not be in last place. There is honestly no shame in that dude, we all have had to go through it at some point. This friendly comp will just get you up to speed quicker,. and it would be great to have you involved.
-
DoomHarbinger, hit me up please, I have been practising all week haha ( so maybe I will only be second last)
So instead of taking my 3 hours off early today for uni study I have to fix up something that someone supposedly much more educated said was fine (it isn’t). Of course it will be all my fault when it is brought up in the team meeting /o\
I spent the last half hour trying to make a fingerless glove out of scraps of material. I succeeded and it was awesome. The i took a good hard look at myself and though, No you are getting paid to work here you should do something constructive. I checked the jobs shelf and nothing so i went back to my glove.
Then i found $10
-
-
At least it was only a half hour before remembering that you’re being paid.
Still, what a job you have.
-
-
-
I document your first-post-of-the-day times in a notebook of mine.
I figure if I collect enough data, I will eventually be able to derive a formula that will accurately predict the minute in which you wake up/first post. -
I should point out then, that you often don’t actually comment on my first post of the day(even ignoring posts that happen between 12 and about 3 am). For instance, for today, my first post is a bit further up that page, and from around 11:50ish. I thought you should know. For Science.

omg blaghman up before noon
-
Very good.

Eating me some cheap, less than high quality ramen.
Should have gone to the other place nearby. Had the good shit. All by myself. Forever alone but full of deliciousness.
This will have to suffice.
-
-
-
-
-
-
I LOVE RAMEN!
Not this ramen though. It’s so oily. Not good oily, BP fucking up an oil rig oily.
-
Pretty sure you can demand compensation for that.
-
The precedent isn’t good. They’ll just write the clean up off as an expense so that they pay less taxes.

Gaytime Friday is a thing. Make it happen people. Im taking that to mean ice creams, but you make of it what you will!

When Daigo Umehara was in Sydney last year (or was it the year before) he left with a 100-0 win streak. Yup. Nobody beat him. One guy – i think it was Humanbomb – got a single round off him. Nobody else did.

Yeah, I’ve heard he’s pretty okay.

What happened to page 18? It was meant to be erotic page 18. A place where adults could enjoy a subtle and classier form of adult entertainment. Soon it morphed into sexy, then hardcore, perverted, wrong and eventually downright illegal. It saddens me. Yet it doesn’t surprise me.

Isn’t that called mud wrestling… or jelly wrestling? Or CUSTARD wrestling?

No… i mean climbing the tunbuckle then jumping on the *censored*…

If anyone needs any new ds/3ds cases/accessories – bluemouth is having a warehouse sale
http://www.bluemouth.com.au/warehousesale/
some real good buys there
My boss took me out for lunch to celebrate my graduation. And now our coordinating sales director wants to have lunch as well. I’m the lunch master.
We had awesome Thai food. It was good. topics discussed at said lunch were
– Work
– How much we could drink before being drunk
– The hotness of my Intern
– Flying economy vs business
– Korean food
Anyway, that’s my report on my lunch. How was your lunch?
-
-
-
-
-
I have a banana and apple for lunch which i will eventually get around to eating.
Also – YAY LUNCH MASTER!
-
-
-
Lunch was great, international food day FTW \o/
This month we had chicken ticka with cucumber yogurt sauce, nasi goreng, lasagne, more homemade salami and some wierd eggplant stuff.
The to top it off one of the new girls brought home-made oreo balls, chocolatey goodness.
Hey Bish!
The 8 hours between streetpasses seems to have changed. Street passed a guy at work some time after 8, then again just after 1!
So many street passes on Saturday!

People are going to have to surgically remove me from your butt area because I am going to be hovering around there so much for dem Streetpasses. -

According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_3DS_system_software) the last time wii plaza was updated was the dec 21 2011 update.
This week’s update doesn’t appear to have anything of the sort – however there was also a disturbing lack of “patch notes” for any of the updates ever, so who knows?
-
All I know is that I streetpassed someone 5 hours after our last streetpass.
Anything else is moot. Shit be on!

“Give the oar to Pez”, I said.
But NOOOOOO, PEZ doesn’t need the oar. Let’s give it to F4CTION JUST SO HE CAN TAKE AN EXTENDED SABBATICAL AND HAVE THE OAR WITH HIM.
Well, I hope you’re ALL happy now, because we’re oarless.
Serves you right.
-
I gotta admit, I’m pretty happy right now.
-
Yeah, feeding off the negative emotions of others is pretty rad.

you’re all evil.

I was actually thinking of this! Shame I don’t have time to grow something particularly poirot-esque.

David Suchet’s Poirot is the epitome of dapper. Even a top hat would detract from his dapperness.

Aw man, I saw a guy in Brisbane with Mutton Chops.
I was all “\o/” except I was doing it in my mind.

When I worked in the Valley, there was an older gent who had the most brilliant moustache. He’d clearly put decades of work into it.

dap·per [dap-er]
adjective
1. neat; trim; smart: He looked very dapper in his new suit.
2. lively and brisk: to walk with a dapper step.
3. small and active.lol wut at number 3.

sounds like my.. *SMACK*
owwwww… ok.. i’ll stop there
-
3 describes me perfectly from the waist up.
From the waist down only the latter is accurate.

if you can’t twist the mo with wax then it’s pointless.
Either a really well trimmed beard, or clean shaven with a monocle.
Also, you could possibly try the pencil mustache… but you may end up looking like a pedo.

Oh god that is reminding me of when I started watching whisker wars. I had no idea that it was a thing and I was scared, very scared.

“Unfortunately, this contemporary (at least, for the era) fairy tale, directed and co-written by Muppets creator Jim Henson, never sets a timely tone beyond the 1980s. It remains disappointingly tethered to yesteryear.” – Desson Thomson
“Great energy and creativity went into the construction, production and direction of this movie, but it doesn’t have a story that does justice to the production.” – Roger Ebert
“Plays like The Wizard of Oz or Alice in Wonderland crossed with a middling episode of “The Muppet Show” guest-starring David Bowie … suffers from a distinct lack of charm.” – Steven D. Greydanus
No Naysayers, you say?
-
*facepalm*
-
What I read was:
“OMG! JIM HENSON AND TEH 80S WERE TEH AWESUMZ!” – Desson Thomson
“Great energy and creativity went into the construction, production and direction of this movie, and it has a story that does justice to the production.” – Roger Ebert
“Plays like The Wizard of Oz or Alice in Wonderland crossed with an episode of “The Muppet Show” guest-starring David Bowie … FUCK YEAH!” – Steven D. Greydanus
So I fail to see your point.

There are NO Naysayers when it comes to David Bowie’s pants.

Afternoon TAY. I hope your day is going well so far.
Just saw this on IGN and it seems pretty cool. It’s a charger that uses UV-C light to clean your phone while it charges. It looks like it’s for Iphones only but if you have said device this might be useful.
P.S The fact that a cell phone might have more bacteria than a toilet seat is kind of scary.
-
Mashaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
That is what i will be yelling if you have not shown up while we are waiting tomorrow.
Just follow the yelling to find us, I suppose.-
I’m fairly punctual in most cases so don’t worry your throat won’t be sore from all the shouting.
Also now that people have adopted the Mashaaaa thing I feel like I should have had a shirt printed out with Mashaaaaaaaa on it for people to easily identify me. Oh well, I can do that during the next meat.
-
-
Harliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
-
-
-
-
Toilet seats are relatively clean. Your hands, on the other hand, are not.
Cleanliness is neat and all but I’m going to take the David Mitchell approach with this one. Whenever something comes along and says there are so many germs and bacteria on something you come into contact with frequently, then clearly that’s not a problem. We have immune systems and they are clearly coping with that level of uncleanliness.
-
That’s my policy as well. The skin is the largest organ for a reason-to protect our insides from bacteria and harsh exposure. If stuff gets past the skin we have an immune system as back up.
-
To add to that, they say if you protect yourself too much, then you actually increase your chances of getting sick.. so let the good germs roll!
-
Yeah, this! You need to be exposed to all kinds of germs growing up so your immune system can be strong. This is why I never ran around after my kids with antibacterial sprays all the time like you see mums on TV do.
-
Also, it’s damn tiring to do that. Much easier to just let them be dirty!
-
-
-
Oh yes. I considered taking up pilates to compliment the whole exercise thing. Apparently it makes you rather limber.
I like the idea of describing myself as limber.
I probably won’t do pilates though.
-
-
I am supposed to do clinical plates for my back. But i am so lazy. I’ll just excercise by lifting softdrink cans to my mouth.
-
-
Are clinical plates more limber than normal plates? Like, you can bend the plate in half or something?
-

I have a dollar.
you want a dollar?
here, have my dollar.
so much dollar do i give you.

@#35: if you’re buying the local release Ghibli films on DVD I can help you out, I’m actually trying to get rid of some of mine b/c I’ve replaced them with Japanese Blurays. Yours if you want them. I’ll confirm which ones I have surplus of when I’m at home.
@NegativeZero
Naming transfered characters on TOR stuffed up for me too. I deleted my placeholder character, selected the character I wanted to give the name to, typed in the name, hit ok and it gave the name to my other character I’d transfered over. I’ve sent an email to customer support about it. Apparently they’ve been fixing the issue for people and renaming your transfered characters to the names you want. If you haven’t already it would be a good idea to send them a message about getting your character names fixed.
-
I wish I’d thought of that before I deleted the transferred character that I gave the wrong name to. :\
Yay! I missed out on page 18. To be honest, it doesn’t really seem that different to page 19 though, what with discussions about being limber, Pez and Loops’ “small but active” parts,The Fonz appearing and Bish having to be surgically removed from Gentleman What?’s butt area…. 😛
-
-
-
-
Did you naked mudwrestle again, Loops? 😛
-
i told you not to tell anyone our secret!!!!! 😮
-
-
-
Page 18 seems to be people going out of their way for that sort of thing. Now we’re back to normal levels of innuendo. Luckily this week’s page 18 wasn’t really a thing. I prefer when it’s not really a thing.
It’s like that song, “I would do anything for love” and he continues with “but I won’t do that”, except replace love with Streetpasses and remove the second line.
-
-
You made me laugh. And then you made me remember singing that with Sughly at Welbot’s Meat, and I laughed some more.
The next episode of Legend of Korra has apparently leaked.
I’ve seen three screenshots from the episode. Damn my lack of restraint.
Worth it.

No idea. Haven’t been able to find a torrent for myself yet, what with my being at work and whatnot.
I’m probably going to treat this the same as Young Justice. If I have to wait for the 720p version, I’ll download the SD version first, watch it and then watch again in HD.
-
I’m in favor of waiting for the HD version. I’ve been spoiled now.
A while back I got a bunch of shows of Pyrean and they were almost all in SD. It made me cry. I’ve told him when we start flatting together he’s band from downloading anything in SD.

HI TAY!
About to go to the post office to pick up a parcel. \o/
I have to ride there though /o\
It’s a pain
-
Well they say if you’re riding a Ponyta or Rapidash, if they’re friendly, their flames don’t burn.
Shouldn’t be too painful.-
-
I agree, oh Bish.
Everyone knows that riding a Dodrio is where it’s at. Just make sure there heads get along.
-
lol, you guys… I got HM02.

Not if I don’t go outside 😛

That’s a rather good point.

I spend absolutely no money, and I don’t have to worry about sunscreen.
Shame that I look like a hobo.

Hobos have beards.
You look more like a sex offender. -
Ahh, fair point.

You know that the words are “It rubs the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again” right?
Because it would be silly for you to make so basic an error.

We don’t have any spare batteries in the office, so punching it in the hopes that it is kinetic is about the only chance I have.

you could rub it on the carpet???

Funny thing just happened, i was trying to call an IT guy in Korea to sort out a problem and lord knows how this happened, but i ended up on the phone with the Vice President of Kia Motors. This guy probably makes my yearly salary in a week. Fun!
He was very nice, he told me in Korean i had the wrong number then hung up.
-
-
-
Let me clarify, I work for Kia, so it wasn’t just some random calling, i think i got the lines mixed up or something.

Ahh… I had no idea you worked for them 😛
guess that makes a bit more sense now
And YOU KNOW KOREAN? :O

Well I apologise for being quiet this week my sexy taybies, Life has been screwed this week, and not so much ina good way (BOWCHICKAWOWOW)
All I can say is I am looking forward to next week. I may or may not make it to the meat tomorrow, unfortunately I have 0 moneys till monday. so at least I get paid just intime for my birthday 🙂
I hope you all have a lovely weekend, though I may be on tay for some of it.
-
*hugs* I hope whatever’s been awful about this week isn’t going to make next week awful too.
Oh, by the way. You need to know I’m actually looking forward to making your kilt so don’t stress about bothering me and don’t stress about money. You decide what you want and we’ll work something out. 🙂
I already bought the fabric for making the muslin (a kind of prototype, so you can practice on a cheap fabric and know what you’re doing before you make it in the expensive fabric) so if you send me your measurements when you can, I’ll make something up and send it to you to see if it fits and if the style works for you.
You also need to know I’m kind of excited about this and have been thinking about it for weeks, figuring out how I’m going to do it. So you may as well send me your measurements to make sure it fits right or one day you’ll get sent a completed kilt that might not fit you because i’m going to make it anyway. 😛-
Oh Wow, I had not forgotten at all by the way, I’m getting concencus on fabric. and i’ll have an idea hopefully by monday, I’ll get the Measurements for you this weekend 🙂
Next week should be good, I finish on call on monday and then tuesday is my birthday so Nothing should be able to ruin it 🙂
I’m glad to hear your as excited about this as I am its going to look awesome with either fabric 🙂 I also have a question that I’ll email you too. I’m thinking of possibly having both fabrics as a colour thing, but I’ll let you know. I’m working out designs for it if it comes to it 🙂
Either way, its going to be damn sexy 🙂
Woooo! KILT!

@Masha(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa):
Just letting you know (again) that I’ll be on the train that gets to Town Hall at 11:20 tomorrow. I’ll try and get a seat in the front carriage so you should be able to find me if we’re on the same one! Look for a red shirt! It’ll be good to already know somebody before trying to find everybody else 😛
You can be my guinea pig for the card game I was inventing last night. It could be the best thing ever or a total dud! I don’t know, I’ve only played against myself! xD

Cityrail Incident Report
10:52 AM Sat 28.04.12
Reports of yelling between two individuals of phrases “Powalen” and “Masha” with last syllable of each ‘word’ drawn out.
CityRail Transit Officer forced to subdue both individuals with the use of pepper spray.
Individual wearing red shirt commented “It’s both burny and delicious” when wrestled to the floor. -
-
Hey Powalen, is it a sexy card game? I don’t think I can strip on the train.
Also where are we meeting up? Wollongong?
-
-
I’ll already be on the train (my station is Oak Flats). So we’re not really meeting up, just if we happen to be on the same train then you’ll hopefully be able to find me in the front carriage (I’m assuming you’ll be getting on at Wollongong? My train should be going through there at 9:49am).
And no, it is not a sexy card game. xD Though I’m sure someone here can find some sexual innuendo we can incorporate with the games name: “Fisticuffs” lol
-
See you at Wollongong then. 9.49 it is.
Don’t get too excited though, I’m as plain as plain can be.P.S.
I just got an idea. If the train guard is willing, I’ll try and get him/her to say ‘ Hi, Powalen Masha is about to board the train’ over the train’s speaker system at Wollongong. Now that this idea is in my head I hope the guy/girl who will be on tomorrow’s train is up for it.
-
-
Woo! I should totally be doing stuff!
I bought everything I need for the corset but I just can’t be bothered working on it =P
-
-
-

\o
But I really should do more
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

And I’m finishing it
-
By taking us out for ice cream? 😀
-
Depends, what flavour?
-
MINT CHOC CHIP YEAAAAAAH
-
Ugh, go to your room. I’m ashamed to know you
-
COOKIES AND CREAM!!!!
-
Oh. So good.
-
This guy gets it
-
Oh yeah!
o/
-
My local bowling club used to sell this amazing cookies and cream cheesecake *drool*
AND THEN THEY GOT RID OF IT. NOVA IS ANGRY!!!!! -
I went to some random ice-cream place on the street in St Kilda last night before the Kevin Smith show and it was possibly the greatest cookies and cream I’ve ever had.
-
And now I wish I was in St Kilda.
-
DUDES AND DUDETTES IM FUCKING GONNA HAVE ME SOME COOKIES AND CREAM ICE CREAM TONIGHT BECAUSE OF ALL THESE COMMENTS!
It’s cold and all that BUT I DON’T CARE!
-
Also coconut ice cream is pretty magical too… I wish you could buy those in tubs though 🙁
-
-
Batgirl is my new favorite person on the Citadel.
Mint choc chip is BEST flavor!
-
-
You’re such a Fun Hoover Nova.
You know it
We sit in the corner surly demanding no fun be had.

But they told me these sorts of hats were unisex!
I didn’t know witch hats and wizard hats were so different!

I can fit in my dog’s dog flap!
It’s a good way to get in if I ever forget my keys. -
#TheMoreYouKnow
-
It pushes all the old stuff out?
-
-

That was supposed to be a reply to Bish. That’s the second reply I’ve had not go where I expected. Is TAY broken or am I? I’m thinking it’s me.
-
It’s probably you, Gorzy.

So Sony have announced Playstation all stars battle royale and it seems like it’s basically Sony’s version of Super Smash Bros.
At the moment I’m cautiously optimistic. I’m optimistic because I get to play as a bunch of Sony characters in a single game which seems pretty cool and the idea of a Sony smash bros fighting game is exciting especially with Sony’s back catalogue on the PS1/PS2.
My main reason for being cautious is this looks like a DLC goldmine and I bet Sony will capitalise on this and relegate various characters and stages to the DLC arena. I love the idea of DLC as a way to extend a game’s life but most of it just seems like a cash grab to me.
All in all I can’t wait, even though they could have changed the game a bit to be more distinctive and not look Smash bros-ey at first glance. Also I would have loved it if the game was two on two like Mortal Kombat or Street fighter so I can marvel at the characters’ visuals and detail. Oh well.
P.S If Sony doesn’t have a Shadow of the Colossus stage or a playable Wander or colossi I’m going to moan about it on TAY.
-
I didn’t read the article on Kotaku but I saw the pictures. I’m not really impressed at the moment 😛
-
You can check out a video at the PlayStation blog or Gametrailers.com if you’re curious about how it looks.
-
I think I’ll wait til later before checking out some footage. Is there a confirmed list of playable characters yet?
-
They should invent a new character for the game that looks exactly like Mario. They can give him a blue cap, red overalls and call him “Giuseppi”. I wonder what the reaction to that would be…
Seriously though, Crash Bandicoot better be in there D:
-
omg Spyro!
I’d consider it for him 😀
-
Spyro and Crash are owned by Activision. That being said one of the devs hinted to Gametrailers that third party characters will be in the game.
I hope Activision gives Sony the rights to use Crash and Spyro.
-
Sony doesn’t really have that many well known first party characters (unlike Nintendo) so I am expecting some third party ones. Spyro! 😀

I hate you. The burning passion of a thousand stars sputters and fails next to the burning hatred I hold for you, Blerghman.
-
-
“Hate. Let me tell you how much I’ve come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word ‘hate’ was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate. “
-
*shrugs* Meh.
-
I know what you are, you’re a house burning down. I know that your tormented existence will end, long before mine, and all I have to do is wait for a structural beam to collapse. The fire, eating you up, leaving its mark on the most beautiful of English words. Spreading past the cellar door, an entrance opened, and you collapse. Your pathetic life snuffed out.

A….Meh.

I hate even being associated with this 2 bit hack, his apathy for all things compared to my floccinaucinihilipilification.

Not to mention that supposedly I’m supposed to be a couple with Bish, apparently, even though he’s really smitten by Effluvium Boy(and to be fair, who isn’t?).

I should be getting into the city at around 5.30 so be sure to have someone checking Twitter so I can find you guys/send SOS messages when I get lost.
Ah, what am I saying? A bunch of socially awkward people getting together. OF COURSE someone is going to be on Twitter.
-
Hahaha it’s funny because it’s most likely true 😛
Awks situation? *whips out phone and does stuff on it*
-

Or:
Walking in the wrong direction? Whip out phone and turn around like you have somewhere important to be

Awkward social gathering? Whip it out and make things even more awkward.
Oh wait, phones.

Why is there an article from Gizmodo about the G-spot down there? The comments are already terrible and there’s only 3 of them.

Oh my God!! I’m so excited for E3. A possible sequel to Rayman Origins called Rayman legends for the Wiiu has a trailer which has leaked online and it looks pretty sweet. The Wiiu controller looks to have the same technology used by Skylanders’ portal of power i.e. you can place figurines on the Wiiu screen and they affect the game. Check out 2min into the trailer for a hint at an Ezio figurine doing something in the game.
Speaking of trailers you can check it out here http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion/30/rayman-legends-wii-u-trailer-leaked/544825/#2
Don’t worry the witcher 2 ad before the video isn’t too long.
CAN’T WAIT FOR E3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
-
Don’t be silly Nova,Monomeat of course. Although it would be great if we had a 1 am meat during E3.
-
-
Early June. 5th to 7th, IIRC.
-
-
Man, all you new people are in for a treat at this year’s E3. Assuming it works like last year’s, Mark will be up all night, posting stuff about it, and the original James Mac will be on twitter, and where Mark’s posting, making witty remarks.
Good times.
-
-
-
-
The trailer mentions Wiiu exclusive features not Wiiu exclusive so there is a chance the game could be multi platform. Also Rayman Origins was profitable according to Ubisoft so I’m sure they wouldn’t want to miss out on the PC/PS3/XBOX360 market.
-
I hope it went well for them. I remember reading that it was profitable but not by a lot.
I’ve never played it but it looks interesting and like something I’ll enjoy, got some pretty amazing reviews as well. Props to Ubisoft for taking a risk and I really hope it paid off for them
(that and if the game was really profitable it would help with Beyond Good & Evil 2 :D)
-
I haven’t played origins as well. I might pick it up now.
Also for added convenience I found the same trailer on YouTube in case the Giant Bomb video isn’t working. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaTEVkYrTQU
-
“This video contains content from Ubisoft, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.”
Fuckers.
-
Story and trailer are up on IGN. Once something leaks you can’t get it back, silly Ubisoft.

@#35: if you’re after Ghibli DVDs you can have my copies of Totoro, Whisper of the Heart and Grave of the Fireflies. I have Whisper on BD, and have the other two ordered and don’t intend to watch the DVDs before July.
I’d also offer you Howl’s Moving Castle but that was the Limited Edition release and impossible to find now so I was holding onto it for a bit, even though I’ve replaced it as well.
DM me on the twits if you’re interested.
-
-
Damn, sorry for the lateness here…
I’m not a twitterer, so send me an email ( number.30.five[at]gmail[dot]com ) & let me know what you want for em (games / cash / sexual favors / muffins etc). -
The Old Republic’s customer service normally gets a bad rap but I have to say kudos to them for fixing my naming problem in just over 6 hours since I sent them an email about it. That’s probably the best MMO customer service I’ve ever received. My characters now have their proper names and I’m happy. I found my legacy name had been taken by someone else so I’m sort of bummed about that but I’m happy my characters first names are all good. Now I’ll just have to come up with a new legacy name that was as good as my last. I’ve a few ideas in mind all ready.
-
If you have any female characters definitely go with Jugs McMelons. You might get hit on by all the creepy guys but it’ll be worth it since you’ll have one of the best names in existence.
-
Darth Jugs McMelons does have a nice ring to it but I think I might try and go with something a bit more Star Warsy. My original legacy name was Starflyer so I’ll probably go with something similar to that.
-
-
-
Why don’t EB have a trade in price calculator on their site? It would be really convenient if I could type in the game I wish to trade in and get a possible trade in price before the store opens.
-
Hey that’s actually a pretty good idea 🙂
You should email them or something. Are prices the same nationwide or do specific stores decide on their own prices? (I don’t trade in games so I don’t know)
-
I’m not really sure if prices are the same nationwide. Still, when I go to trade in a game the staff usually scan the game so I’m sure trade in prices are stored and regulated on a server somewhere so I don’t think it’s too hard to implement it on their site.
I might send an email to them Monday morning. I doubt they’ll act on it but it won’t hurt to try.
-
I think letting people know about their trade in prices beforehand may actually turn people off. I remember they really don’t give a lot for games 🙁
-
Yeah, I think part of it is just going there, finding out the crappy trade value and then trading them in anyway because you made the trip out there so you might as well 😛
-
That’s a good point ruffleberg.

I just stopped playing. Trying for some horribly frustrating achievements; the one for completing a specific hard track with the Rattler bike, and one for completing Rock Steady without tilting your rider.
So frustrating.
Shiggy is catching up to me on Gigatrack times, and I DO NOT LIKE THAT. :U
-
I tried to get those achievements. They’re quite hard! Last time I checked you’re 3rd (behind FatShady and Sughly) so good job :D.
Oh and…
WHY CAN’T I GET THE PLATINUM ON THE FIRST LEVEL… ARGHHHHHHHHHH!
I really don’t know if Evo is easier than HD or I’m just getting a lot better but I’m finding it so much easier to get medals. I’ve never got a platinum in HD and now I’m getting them fairly easily in Evo 😀 (EXCEPT FOR THAT STUPID FIRST LEVEL)

Logged into SWTOR. Set my character back up. Attempted to do some dailies. Felt like I was playing in slow motion. So much button hitting for so little damage. Feels so crappy. I don’t think I can play this any more, the endgame is just so absolutely snore-worthy and I’ve finished the main storyline for my class and alts feel so samey. My time with Tera last weekend has ruined MMO combat for me forever, I think. Until then, single player for me.
I wish I was playing GW2 beta but despite having preordered that and despite what they said about this weekend, they never sent me beta details so I don’t know how to get the client and log in. 🙁 Missed Diablo 3 beta last week due to Tera and now it’s not on this week.
I’m going to have to take something off the Pile, but what? So many choices.
#firstworldproblems
So I just got back from seeing the Avengers.
Don’t believe the hype. Seriously.
I walked away thoroughly and profoundly disappointed. I found the entire 2.5 hour (2.5 hours!) experience to be incredibly surfacey and pedestrian, like all Marvel movies to date. There was no subtext to be found, and the hallmark Whedon wit was also absent, save for a few really akwardly shoehorned attempts at levity (which fell flat to my ears).
Instead of a plot that made sense, we got an ever-increasing spectacle of explosion. And instead of character development, we got Scarlett Johannsen’s T&A, again and again.
If asked to, I will elaborate on the many ways this film fell short, but I found the plot inconsistencies laughable at best, and pity that I was separated from $17 to watch this film.
As an action film, it’s passable, save some unforgivable leaps in logic and a complete divorce from any kind of character empathy. But as a character film (until now, what one might expect from Whedon), it was a complete and utter disappointment to me.
-
-
-
I enjoyed it! Was it a great stand alone movie? Nope. But I came with low expectations so I was satisfied easily. ScarJo and her T&A is terrifying. I really hope one day a good super heroine would be portrayed and with the good bits.
-
I am officially sick. Haven’t been for over a year. Sad. My voice started breaking so no one can enjoy my smooth sounds of the 80s on TS
Did somebody sat Mono-meat?
I’m just about to leave the house. See you all there.
I’m Nervous but Excited at the same time.
TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/

No, he sat it.
Also, friends! Rize said his bus came late, so I will be both early and late to the Monorail station. I’ll probably head off at about 11:15 to pick him up at central.

Some people just have no sense of time.

Maybe if you’d stop eating for 5 minutes…

Yay this means more meat write ups 😀

@ Neg0, Re GW2
If you did not use the pre-purchase thing through their site you will need to do some messing around to get your account registered for the beta.
Though here is the link to the installer download:
https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/info/news/Getting-Started/page/1#post23795
-
-
Should have gotten an email then. Go to that link and see if you can dl and use the installer.
-
Guild Wars 2 Beta peeps, what server you jumping on? I figure we should try to all get on the same one.
I just wanted to say that I hate this natural ‘alarm’ that I have. Because of the way my room faces, at about 8:30 on every sunny day, there’s a beam of light that shines right in my eyes… 🙁
Not cool nature… not cool.

I have blinds but there’s the tiniest little gap on the side which the sun somehow manages to find a way to get through to annoy me 😛

That Pez fella was alright when we played Terraria, but once he totally ignored me and that hurt our friendship forever…

You’re obviously not aware of the fact that noone in TAY likes anyone else, they all just grit their teeth and bear it. 😛

Wait, really?
But I like everyone.
Now I feel so bad for you all.
Except Blerghman. He can burn in a fire.

Hey friends!
So after watching Avatar and Korra, I’m in the mood for some anime! I haven’t really watched anime since 2008 or so and I’d like some recommendations.
Like most people, I’m down for anything with a good story, action scenes, graphical style etc., just as long as the general consensus of it is that it’s ‘good’. I’d also love to watch something that I can easily download (:P) in high quality.
I’ve already seen some animes so I’ll try to recall the ones I’ve already seen. They are (in no particular order):
Death Note
Full Metal Alchemist
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo (never saw the last episode)
Moribito
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
And probably others I’m forgetting :P. There’s also a bunch of those ‘cartoons’ that used to be on TV that EVERYONE watched random episodes of (Dragonball Z, Pokemon, Digimon, Beyblade, YuGiOh etc.).
Recommend away!
Thankyee! 😀
-
Last Exile.
Gun x SwordI also love some really violent ones like Berserk and Elfen Lied.
I haven’t really watched anime for a long time, it makes my husband fall asleep so I don’t really know any of the more recent ones.
-
The only anime I’ve ever seen is Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem
Also, I once saw a Clone Wars dvd in the anime section at JB HiFi once, so does that count? 😛
-
-
-
I’ve never seen Dragonball Z, Pokemon, Digimon, Beyblade, YuGiOh or any of those shows, so therefore according to you I’m not anyone 😛
-
WHAT LAMBO! D:
But but Cheez TV!?
-
Cheez TV? I just had to google that. That sure tells you a lot, doesn’t it?
-
T_____________T
-
-
-
Most men I can find hot in some way but you are one of the few rare cases that make me want to vomit my uterus out through my mouth.
-
Hey! I know someone you’d just get along dandily with!
Oh, Yellowious! Come out, come out, wherever you are!
-
Madoka Magica
Lucky star
Another (even though it’s considered horror, it’s more mystery. I suggest seeing if you like the first episode and go on from there)
Tiger and bunny
Game animes (Disgaea, Devil may cry, Persona etc)
Witch hunter robin
Avoid Elfen lied at all costs.
-
-
I dunno, it’s kind of like Hostel, gore’s there for gores sake.
I found it was like gore porn to me.-
The gore works to give the fragile, emotional moments more impact due to the juxtaposition.
-
Elfen Lied is gore porn?
Not really into that 😛
-
Oh… just re-read your comment
unless you mean there’s a whole lot of gore in it (which I don’t mind). The weird anime hentai porn stuff is what I was referring too.
-
It sort of is. It’s hyper violent, involves a lot of dismemberment. The sort of stuff that’s unlikely to be made nowadays, honestly (it’s quite an old show).
Funny thing is that it was licensed in the US before it aired, and the company licensing hadn’t read the manga or anything, they just thought the character designs were cute. Apparently they were pretty surprised when they saw what they’d paid for.
-
-
If you geeky that way about Elfen Lied, stay away from Gantz entirely.
-
Geeky = feel
-
Oh yeah, Gantz! Another of my favourites.
-
What do you like? Because there’s lots of anime out there that’s really fun and entertaining but is far from being ‘good’ in any way. The stuff that’s legitimately good is harder to find.
Do you want recommendations for stuff since 2008? Because that’s a big gap. More recent or less recent? Maybe give some genre ideas, things you like etc to help narrow down a good recommendation? I could throw you a whole pile of names but that’s not very helpful and there’s a good chance you’d end up disappointed.
-
I liked all the ones I’ve listed above (favourites from there probably being Bebop and Death Note), so I’m probably more into the action sort of type with some style and a good story, characters etc. It’s really hard to define what I mean by ‘style’ but hopefully you get what I’m trying to say :P.
I don’t mind when it’s from as long as it’s not overly horrible to watch. But I’m guessing something somewhat recent would be easier to find in high quality. It doesn’t just have to be from 2008 onwards.
Probably not the best site but I am sort of using imdb as a gauge for which ones are considered ‘good’ based on their rating.
-
Code Geass. Death Note style anti-hero protagonist, crazy plot twists, good characters, solid action and decent story with a nice conclusion (or at least I thought it was pretty good). It’s pretty recent and shouldn’t be hard to find. There’s two seasons, start with the first one.
-
I forgot I have that already 😛
Saw 6 eps of or so a few years ago at a friends house and liked it but I’m not really in the mood for a mech anime at the moment.
-
No mecha. Hmm.
Okay, Science Fiction or Fantasy?
-
I like swords, so one with swords 😛
I haven’t seen much sci-fi animes but if it’s good I’ll give it a shot. So either one really.
-
It’s pretty old and violent and very dark, but Berserk is worth a go. The ending is possibly the worst ending in the history of anything though.
For a more asian-style Fantasy show, you might want to check out 12 Kingdoms. If you do though, make sure you give it 3-4 episodes, because the main character in the first arc starts out as a complete piece of shit before pulling herself together.
If you want some ‘hard’ SF, then you could try Planetes, or go really new and grab Space Brothers which is currently running, four episodes in.
It’s pretty old now and shows its age, but if you want a bit of a classic Space Opera sort of show, then you might want to look into Crest / Banner of the Stars. (Crest of the Stars is season 1, Banner is season 2 and 3 and there’s a movie that comes after that).
I find that it can be hard to give recommendations honestly. I’ve watched so much and most of what you’ve listed is fairly well-known, where a lot of the stuff I really like is a lot more niche and I’m not sure if it would work for you or not. Like trying to figure out if it’s worth recommending Braid to someone who’s only played Halo.
-
-
Hey ya’ll thanks for the replies so far but I just thought of some more things to say:
I’ve also seen:
Tales of Eternia
Disgaea (at least 3/4 of the series)
Neon Genesis Evangelion
And I’m happy to watch it in either Japanese or English (as long as the dub isn’t too horrible)
-
Have you seen the two recent (of four planned) Evangelion films? Because those should be on your list.
-
I haven’t but I wasn’t really into the series (somewhere near the mid point it just got all WTF) so I think I’ll pass on them.
Speaking of movies and all the recent Ghibli talk I should probably go watch the rest of their films.
-
You should. You really should.
-
The remade films are a lot less WTF than the original series, so it may be worth checking out the first one at least.
-
Yeah, they have better characterization, more consistency and far better writing. Plus they’re animated really well.
But to be fair, the crazy metaphysical bullshit in the original show really only started to surface strongly at about the point the second film finishes. Although they’ve deviated pretty far from the original plot now so it’s probably not possible to use that as a guide.
-
-
-
-
Because that’s the one I grew up on. Plus the anime follows the comics in a good way. (or before the wrist realised he had too much money and stopped trying)
-
I’ve only seen the more recent one but it seems reasonable enough. It’s not as if either of them will actually have a proper conclusion since the guy’s so lazy. 🙁
-
-
-
Hellsing is fun, though a little odd, the first anime was fun, though it does look rather old now, and it got stupid in the last few episodes, they made a newer one, actually based on the manga, and I enjoyed that. It’s rather gory, has vampires, kind of fun.
Have you seen FMA Brotherhood, or just FMA? Same kind of deal as Hellsing,in that Brotherhood was made to match the manga more.
Oh, and the Vampire Hunter D movies are pretty good(there’s 2), though, again, also quite bizarre.
I have very boring taste in anime.
-
-
I guess, in theory, I should also recommend Naruto, given I’ve been reading it for the past… 5 years? Probably longer. Maybe 7. I don’t know. A while, and I watched the anime before that.
But I won’t, because well, that’s a rabbit hole to the centre of the universe.
-
Yeah I don’t really feel like any long running anime series at the moment (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece). I haven’t really watched any of them except for maybe One Piece when it used to be on Cheez TV. A while back I downloaded a whopping 100gb of like 400 eps or so of One Piece and I haven’t even watched it 😛
-
I hope to god that what you downloaded was the Japanese version, not the abortion that was the 4 kids One Piece.
-
Yep, the Japanese one 😛
-
Thank Christ. It’s really a different show than the American one. Same goes for YuGiOh, and to a lesser extent, Naruto. Coupla others that I can’t remember off the top of my head.
-
Macross. Cardcaptor Sakura. There’s a long line of shows that were terribly hacked up and modified for an American audience but ended up ruining everything. Though a lot of people swear by Robotech so I guess some of what made the three shows they hacked together to make it work kind of still shines through.
-
Now that I think of it, some of the changes made to Sailor Moon(not that I ever watched it) were bizarre. Like changing … Uranus and Neptune? Into cousins, instead of having them be in a relationship.
-
-
Chaos;head
steins;gate
FLCL
as blarghman said, if you haven’t seen Full Metal Alchemist Bortherhood, watch that, it has a much satisfying ending then the original series, because it follows the manga, unlike the original anime.
bakuman (NOT BAKUGAN, SO MANY PEOPLE GO, ” YOU LIKE THAT STUPID KIDS SHOW?” AND I’M LIKE NO IT HAS AN ‘M’ NOT A ‘G’!!!)
Tower of druaga (the first season is the aegis of uruk, second season is the sword of uruk)
persona 4
devil may cry
rhey are some more action-y ones (except for bakuman)
however, if you wanna try something different try:
Sket Dance
Medoka Box (which gets actiony a bit later in the series)
Lucky Star
Another
Ok once again, thank you for all the recommendations 😀
I already have Code Geass and FMA: Brotherhood (in English) so I should be able to get through those one day. A friend already has Berserk (in english) as well as Trigun, Baccano and Mushi-Shi (also in English) so any thoughts on any of those?
I think I’ll get Elfen Lied (although I did do a Google image search of it and WTF!) and maybe Witch Hunter Robin. While having a look on imdb I’m seeing other high rated that haven’t been mentioned yet like Monster, any thoughts on those?
This is still kinda big list so I’d appreciate any help in narrowing it down to ones I MUST see first or ones you’d recommend out of them (or any other titles I might have missed). I sort of just typed the ones everyone mentioned into imdb and looked at their ratings. This is a horrible way to determine how good they are or not but it’s the only real thing I’ve got at the moment. Although Elfen Lied, Berserk and Witch Hunter Robin seem to be liked amongst the TAYbies.
<3
-
Baccano and Mushishi are both brilliant shows. If you end up liking Mushishi then there’s a whole lot of stuff that might appeal to you as well.
Monster is a solid show, but I never finished it so personally.
I never really liked Witch Hunter Robin personally. It felt like it was a bit of a right-place-at-the-right-time show. Not sure if it still holds up.
So I now have downloading:
Berserk
FLCL in HD
Baccano! in HD
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood in HD
Monster
Elfen Lied in HD
Trigun + movie in HD
Mushi-Shi in HD
I can’t wait for some HD anime goodness!
Some of these are in dual audio so any recommendations on which language? (generally I don’t mind the English dub as long as it’s not that bad)
-
-
well, i actually watched all of FLCL in english dub, but it’s a confusing series, so the japanese may make more or less sense…
-
according to trivia, the director of the show oversaw the english dub as well, so i guess thats why the english voices were actually good…
oh and by the way, FLCL is pretty damn crazy, it wont make much sense, but it has a lot of undertones and messages in it, if i could, i would have done a report in school of it, just because it subtley talks about a lot of issues.
oh and its awesome
-
Soundtrack is the highlight.
-
-
If you like d those then maybe scryd as well, similar in feel to some of them.
Also I second (or thrid/tenth) witch hunter robni
Woo! Just did half hours work and got $110 from it. Now that’s burning a hole in my pocket what to do with it….inb4 Greenius starts screaming Xenoblade.
Speaking of Greenius, Mad Bull 34. All you need to know.
Ok, guys, I’m posting this on behalf of scree because she insisted so much I’m pretty much being forced to do so.
Do you like Persona? Like the Ace Attorney series? Ok, Cherry Tree High Comedy Club is finally out for PC, DRM-free and all that stuff!
More digital distros to follow soon, at the moment you can getting from the site.
The music is addicting as hell. Seriously. Don’t forget to check the Translation FAQ before you start ragin’ fire on the translation (again, Ace Attorney approach courtesy of Tezuka Productions) AND PLEASE REMEMBER, it is NOT a visual novel because I saw this popping at th e VN database. The screens are deceiving. IT’S NOT A VISUAL NOVEL. CTHCC is an adventure game. That’s how the author classifies it and I agree. Of course, it has some touches of VN and RPG, no denying. Wanted to clear that out.
So, yep, gotta thank scree’s insistence! 😛
-
You know, I can’t help but think that the way you guys have been making a big deal about the fact you’ve localized the game so heavily, what you’ve done and why has actually worked against it. It makes it seem like justification for doing something ‘wrong’ when it isn’t wrong at all and I think it’s going to put people off that wouldn’t have cared normally. You don’t see Capcom justifying their localization decisions for Phoenix Wright, for example. They just put it out there and let the game and its localization stand on its own merits.
p.s. you really should offer the guys at Rock Paper Shotgun a copy of this.
-
The reason for this was a lot of people were complaining about the localisation.
A lot.
That’s the only reason it exists, because people complained without playing it.
I get what you’re saying Negative Zero, but unfortunately people caused it.
-
Man, I know it’s only in beta, but Guild Wars 2 is really not impressing me at all.
It took me an hour to connect to the server. Kept coming up with a network connection error.
Checking the forums it’s a widespread issue which Arenanet are doing nothing about.
Finally connected to a server, I have no idea which one, I just clicked until it finally let me in one and went through the character creation.
Name my character and go to start the game and I get another connection error. Tells me to try again in a few moments.
So I wait a couple of minutes and try again. Same message.
Wait another couple of minutes and I get a different message. Apparently the name Cakesmith is already in use.
I change the name of my character and go to log in again. Finally I’m in. The fps is horrible, the ping is horrible (although this could just be the server I randomly joined).
Eugh, just discovered my Lynyrd Skynyrd discography does not have Free Bird, I feel deprived?!
-
Or not, eugh bloody iTunes thought track 3 was Free Bird & thinking Free Bird was named something different >=[
Anyone remember Windows Media Player skins back in Win XP? I just found out that they still exist in Windows 7…WHY??
-
People still use Windows Media Player? 😛
Personally, I think XMBC blows it out of the water.
But, I guess everyone has their own preferences.
As for the skin compatibility, I guess it’s a nostalgia thing.-
All I use it for is playing music. It does that well enough for me. I don’t really consume much media (om nom nom) on my PC anyway.
I found the skins more repulsive than nostalgic 😛
-
Okay. Who has a recommendation for a decent mouse that not overly expensive. Don’t need super fast responsiveness or 1,000,000,000,000 dpi or anything but I do want build quality.
-
The Logitech MX518 is very good. Best mouse I’ve owned, not that that means much. Feels solid, but I’ve only had mine for… nine months. Still works. Looks like they’re $45 from PC Case Gear, no idea about prices elsewhere.
-
And there’s some trippy hardcore “bullet hole” graphics/effects on it!
But yeah, it’s a pretty good mouse. Sometimes I hit the random buttons on the side though which can be annoying but I think Blaghs said they can be disabled or changed.
-
I have no idea what you’re doing to press the side buttons. I guess, I’ve set mine up as push-to-talk keys, so I think about them all the time, but even so.
-
Hasn’t really happened lately but sometimes my thumb will random hit it and it’ll go BACK or FORWARD on whatever webpage I’m on. A minor inconvenience really 😛
-
-
-
-
Go for either a Logitech M100 or a Logitech RX300.
They’re both good mice and should each come in at less than $20. -
I’ve got a Razer Deathadder v2, had it for about a year and a half and it’s still in one piece. Also, it’s really comfy (if you’re right handed that is). And, it has blue lights in it, but you can turn them off if you want to.
I just checked umart, and they sell them for $55 these days. -
Razer Deathadder, they’re like what 40 or 50 bucks now, whenever i’ve used one i’ve loved them.
-
i got a nice mouse from when i won the witcher 2 comp, it’s nice and has a DPI switch, which is convenient for certain games. however i do believe that they don’t sell them anymore, as they were given out only for pre-orders at EB-games and in competitions
If L.A. Noire has taught me anything, it’s don’t let me be a cop. I will cost the city thousands of dollars, steal citizens cars & fail to solve some cases I am put on.
So how about that rain? I think it’s finally stopped for the first time since about 5pm yesterday…
Quick question for you TAYbies, is anybody interested in getting torchlight 2?
I’m happy to grab a 4 pack if others are interested to save us 25%. If there is interest I’ll just go ahead and grab it.
-
-
I intend to get it at some point but don’t know if I’ll rush given that Diablo is out in a few weeks.
Alrighty then. Have just purchased a Saitek Cyborg V5 keyboard and a Logitech G400 mouse, which the Internet informs me is an updated version of the MX518.
Now to play the Waiting Game before I play the Regret or Not Game.
-
It is indeed an update of the 518.. I love my darkfield performance mx though! I can’t handle corded mice anymore.. (this one can be either though.. uses mini usb cord in the front to charge)
-
I’m getting this stuff to replace the wireless stuff I have now. It’s all runs off AA batteries and they don’t last very long. I get cranky having to replace them constantly and having everything go wonky on me. Figure I won’t have that problem with wired gear.
-
-
-
-
One day. When I don’t have to spend $60 on it 😛
Wii U out soon so wii stuff will drop right down.(probably not I’m just hoping.)
-
Don’t have a classic controller?
You can just buy the $40 edition :P. I hear it’s not that bad with WiiMote + Nunchuck.
-
Its the “not that bad” that makes me wary. I really really REALLY hate the Wii remote. Twilight Princess was in my opinion infinitely better on the GameCube purely because of the controllers.
All motion controls can die in a fire. Wiimote, Kinect and Move. Burn them all in the fires of hell.
-
I only say “not that bad” because I’ve never tried it out and therefore have no opinion or thoughts on it :P. There’s no waggle gimmicky motion controls so you’d just be hitting the buttons and whatnot as if you were using a normal controller.
-
Play it emulated using a proper controller?
-
But totally buy a legit legal copy first 😛

In this week’s instalment about random thoughts no one cares about we have:
So I spent like an good 2 hours or so trying to get a platinum on a HARD Trials Evo level (Physics Factory). I wasn’t just going for a platinum but a really quick platinum that was well ahead of Sughly and FatShady. I consistently get ahead of them but screw up later on…
After about an hour I got right near the end on a perfect platinum worthy run that was well ahead of Sughly and FatShady. BUT I MESSED UP RIGHT AT THE END ON AN OTHERWISE EASY OBSTACLE. Man that feeling was intense… Almost made me feel like quitting Trials forever…
So an hour later, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN
nerdragequit…
-
I would have read your comment, but you said we don’t care about it so I didn’t bother 😛
I haven’t played Trials for a few days now 🙁 Been to busy. Might have to get on and play some more/play catchup tonight.
-
I just realised you’re back to lambogirl 😛
So why the 99 and you clearly read my comment because you care <3 nawww.
-
See, that’s the main difference between my multiple personalities and Blaghsy’s and Pez’s. Mine actually have souls 😛
As for the 99, well, Agent 007 is James Bond, Agent 99 is whatsherface from Get Smart.
-
Are you saying that I don’t have soul, fool?
H-uh. Puny mortal, you will regret your words.
-
And what about me? The things you say Lambo, they’re just hurtful.
-
These people speak the truth. We have feelings, we have soul, shit eh?
-
I have never seen this Blaghperson before…
-
He’s from Townsville.
I try to avoid associating with him.
-
-
-
This is what happens when I don’t think about things completely. When I thought of Blaghpersons, I only thought of Evil Blaghs, Blerghman and Blaghmang (who’s only emotions he shows is disappoint). Sorry /o\
But we can all agree Pez’s multiple
egospersonalities are soulless, right? 😛 -
I should add that Blerghman is not mine.
He is a putrid cesspool of unwanted crap, surviving only through stolen gasps of air.
-
Whatevs.
-
But aren’t you Evil Blaghs? Evil = no soul. Most usually.
He’s a clone of me, but do you really think that means that he doesn’t have a soul? He would have been created with exactly as much soul as me. The only difference between me and him is that from the law’s perspective he doesn’t exist.
Meh…
He’s a straight up clone of you? Not an evil clone? Well then, logically that means that you are evil too, and because evil = no soul (most usually), that means that you have no soul either 😛
Nothing is empirically evil. Try and quantify what makes someone, or something, “evil.” What differentiates us are our actions, where he and I differ considerably.
But in all honesty, I do not believe that there’s such a thing as a soul, that is not to say that I have no soul, I’m awesome at Jazz, but that’s a different matter entirely.
No, it means he’s a ginger.
Which is not to say I’m a secret agent! /o\
I’m…uh…ah…a real estate agent…yeah.
You know I was totally going to mention Evil Blaghman (speaking of which, he appears to be just “Blaghman” below… SNEAKY) but then I also thought of the whole evil soulless thing and just deleted my comment 😛
Whenever an alt has a different pic, that’s dedication.
Freeze and McGarnical have a few with different pics (souls) 🙂
I have always just been Blaghman.
Always.
So do I 😉
They used to have different pictures but then I remembered that lately they don’t. Another reason why I didn’t make that comment originally 😛
“Whenever an alt has a different pic, that’s dedication.”
(lambo has the same pic)
awks.
Nope, me and lambomann have always had the same pic. It was just changed, that’s all.
Anyway, I was saying I have other accounts with their own pics. :3
NO U LIE
ANIME FACE FOR LIMBOGIRL AND DEN COWBOY XBOX AVATAR FER LIMBOMANN
Unless you used another email for that cause I recall you having the same once… (probably saw an older comment on a different article)
All he does is switch the photo that’s attached to his gravatar account, he doesn’t have two separate emails for them.
What Blaghsy said. If you went back and looked at my old lambogirl posts, they’d have the same avatar as my current one 🙂
NOT DEDICATED ENOUGH.
THUS I CONCLUDE THAT LAMBOGIRL99 HAS NO SOUL.
Good enough? 😛
I guess you’re not so souless afterall but you’re right about the lambomann/girl thing… grrr!

I was thinking of saying something along the lines of “A wild scree appears!” to your comment above in reply to Alpha a while ago, but I didn’t 😛
-
I think you should try the Cherry tree high demo. I think you might enjoy it.
Really, I played it 3 times before I maxed out everything =P -
Doesn’t really look like my type of thing. Not into the whole cutesy styled anime games 😛
-
But Ace attorney! It’s got a lot of dry humour.
C’mon, at least try the demo. It won’t kill you.
Again, if you like anime, maybe check out cherry tree high comedy club
http://cherrytreehigh.com
If you’re unsure, I have played it and it’s a great game.
-
Scree! \o/
Up there a bit, you mentioned a demo for it. Where is it? I can’t find it on the site /o\-
Bugger. Foot in mouth disease. =P
There is *meant* to be a demo but I guess they haven’t released it yet.
When it’s released I’ll let everyone know -
-
-
Clearly the best way to speak 😀
My teacher in commercial law last year asked me all these questions and I’m just like “Yep… dunno, yep… dunno”
-
Only instead of nowhere my brother says “out.”
Where are you going?
Out.
Do you want dinner?
Nope. -
Yeah, that’s how I speak.
Unless I have something interesting to say, then I become like the other guy…
-
Man, just had such an awesome feeling.
Sat down on the couch and put on Tintin which I bought on Blu-ray yesterday. Before it starts dad comes over and sits on the other couch and we watch it together. I don’t think I’ve sat down and watched a movie with my dad in years.
But the thing that made it more awesome was that Tintin is the kind of movie dad would’ve sat me down to watch with him when I was younger (Indiana Jones, Star Wars etc). It just made me really happy for some reason.
-
I love tintin! There is nothing more awesome than watching something made by a crazy Belgian guy who hates communists.
I am disproportionately excited about a new mouse and keyboard. More so then a new game. I think something may be wrong with me.
-
-
-
The fanciest thing on what I got was backlights. The reviews seem to be split down the middle of people saying its a great reliable keyboard and others screaming that it’s not a mechanical with brown switches therefore it’s the worst thing in existence.
-
-
DAMNIT! I said to myself “please don’t make this a pageget…”
Now I have to keep 2 tabs of TAY open and refresh both… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 🙁
-
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..really?

I like that we both started the same way, though yours was considerably more drawn out than mine.
-
I figured it would make it more awkward and that’s what I do best. Or ruin things. Take your pick.
-
More awkward. I was going to draw mine out further, but I decided that it was far too much effort…
-
You ruin the awkward things and make it better.

@Greenius, man I was impatient back then…
But I do have actual alts with their own email addresses and pics. I’m just not going to tell you who they are, cause that would spoil all my fun :3
(I’m not Batman though)
-
-
-
-
-
The fact that Batman posted during a fairly big meat suggests we can rule out any of those attendees.
-
See, previously I would agree. But with the new TAYphone it wouldn’t be hard.
-
If Batman was someone who was on their phone during the meat this means that the monomeat was so unsuccessful, boring and so socially awkward that they were all on their phones the whole time 😉
-
If I was there that would’ve happened anyway.
So yes, all of the above.
-
Hey, that happened at the monomeat today. It was the weird kind where people would tweet people who were at the meat with them. 😛 But it was funny, not unsuccessful!
-
-
Yes, but if anyone with a phone was going to access TAY at the meat, surely they would have screamed something to the effect of ‘THIS IS SO AWESOME ALL YOU PEOPLE IN OTHER STATES SUCK FOR NOT BEING HERE’
I know I would. 😛
-
Maybe whoever it is was just that good that they were able to hold out on the trash talking?
-
I think that rules out Pez.
-
…Bish?
-
…you’re too determined to link it to a Sydney TAYbie. I find this suspicious…
-
I’m actually thinking Greenius personally.
-
And suddenly you’re backtracking! I’M ONTO YOU, CAKES.
-
What if it’s you? And your trying to push blame from me to you? You’re also being very defensive.
Seriously though, I’m too lazy to set up a second account for TAY. I lasted about a day between using Cakesmith, Cakeman and Cakesmizzle.
-
Oooh, clever. Turning my own hackneyed deductions against me.
YOU WIN THIS ROUND, CAKESMIZZLE.
Meanwhile, how long did you sit in TAYbar by yourself?
-
Also if that makes no sense it’s because I’m a little drunk.
-
Don’t worry, I am too.
When other people pay for my alcohol, I abuse their generosity.
-
I went to the fridge before to get an orange juice and found I had a few Rekorderligs left. Glorious!
-
-
-
I would go on! Except my throat is so sore and awful and I dont think anyone wants to hear me sound like lana del rey

Gottlieb: Pinball Classics, A mini review…
Well, this game certainly took me by surprise.
After enjoying the wealth of playability offered by Zen Pinball on the PS3, I decided to look around for a portable pinball game I could take with me on the go.
In the end, I managed to find Gottlieb Pinball Classics on PSP.
I figured, “It’s only $8.45, it probably be an okay game…”
This is one of the best pinball games I’ve ever played, even better than Zen Pinball in my opinion.
The only negatives I can find are some minor graphical shortcomings, but they don’t detract from the overall experience.
It has Wireless Ad Hoc multiplayer, as well as “pass the handheld” multiplayer for up to four players.
It’s playable on PSP and PSVITA, the sounds are quite good for a game made six years ago, and it has one little thing that I love….
A vertical camera… meaning you can play it like a proper pinball table, with tthe analog stick as the launcher, and the square and circle buttons as flippers.
Honestly, I’m running out of things to say about this game, so I’ll leave it at this…
For the price, this game is a must have.
The controls are tight, the gameplay is beautiful, the graphics are almost perfect, and the audio from the tables is eerily brilliant.
Gottlieb: Pinball Classics is a must have for any pinball fan.
9/10
I HATE THAT I AM SICK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A YEAR AND THAT I SPENT THE WHOLE TIME ALL MOPEY IN BED CRACKING THE SHITS AT EVERYONE. I WANTED TO EAT CHOCOLATE! WAS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK BODY!?

Hi all,
Kicking off my official The Lesser Evil blog book tour with an author interview here:
http://writersparty.com/2012/04/27/authorinterviewshanesmith/
Wishing I had something more relevant to report as well, but I’m still too disappointed by The Avengers to think of anything.
-
-
-
-
..meh
-
You’re a monster, Blerghman.
-
-
-
I love good news week’s so you think you can mime. Especially when someone who can’t stop himself from talking.
It’s hilarious. Jason Byrne makes noises instead of talking.
It is stupidly hard to rip Wii discs for playing in an emulator. Shouldn’t be easier and more reliable for me to pirate a game I already own, dammit. 🙁
-
-
-
-
I make a living off software so I try not to pirate it. But I may or may not have given up and have a torrent running at the moment.
-
-
-
-
-
-
I was around on TS earlier, but talked/idled in the main channel… not gonna TAYbar solo!
-
-
-
Shane! I just saw The Avengers…and I really enjoyed it.
I think if you went in expecting trademark witty Whedon dialogue or whatever you were bound to be disappointed. These weren’t his characters, they were Marvel’s so he couldn’t exactly suddenly make them full of wit when they had none before. He did give as much as he could to characters who fit, like Stark.
I also think anyone who hasn’t seen all the previous Superhero movies leading up to this would definitely not feel very invested in the characters because it was too much assumed the viewers had all seen them. I know almost nothing about the Marvel Universe so I was really glad I’d made sure I watched Thor and Captain America this week in preparation. It really made all the difference. I haven’t seen the Hulk movie though so I could easily imagine how much…less the movie would have seemed had I not done my homework, so to speak.So yeah, I can see how if you went in expecting things there was bound to be disappointment.
I had loads of fun, there were some great moments were everyone in the theatre almost couldn’t stop laughing and the New York thing was awesome. I also loved that superheroes got grubby. That was cool.
-
The Hulk movie is essentially irrelevant, what with the changing of actors, as thingummy plays a COMPLETELY different Banner to Norton(All you need know is “Banner goes Green, smashes things as Hulk”). And I had a friend who hadn’t seen half of the prequel movies, and he had a moment of confusion, but kept up quite quickly, so I’m not quite sure why people are necessarily worried about that.

Yeah I quite enjoyed it. Sure you would not describe it as a deep. thinking man’s movie but damn was it entertaining.
-
-
So only a 6/10 to start with? Guess I’m surprised it was that high given the -10000 for having Pez in attendance. That guy makes my vagina seal shut every time I see him post.
-
-
-
Well let me tell you.
The first edible item I acquired was a banana and coconut cupcake. I have to be honest, I don’t really like banana cake; I think banana as a flavouring item is a bit odd, and the traditionally heavier cake mix is not something I desire in a cupcake. That said, it was fairly moist, and the coconut icing was generous. If I liked banana cake, I would give it 8 / 10 maybe, but my natural bias against it lowers it down to a 6.
Next was lunch at Wagamama. I got some vegetable curry and Lychee Green Tea. I can’t really take heat at all, despite an incident a few months ago which burned all my taste buds away, but Japanese curry (I find) is always pleasantly flavourful and mild for my tastes. Teh curry sauce was great. The rice had a bit too much water when cooked so was a tiny bit stickier and gluey than it should have been, but that’s a minor niggle. The salad/lettuce leaves were…there and inoffensive. I don’t know why it was there. I think the lack of, say, cucumber and tomato and the inclusion of a slightly sour dressing took away any possibility of refreshing the palette, if that’s what they were aiming for. The deep fried vegetables? Amazing. The pumpkin was cruchy on the outside, but soft and sweet on the inside, and there was bite to the eggplant. I think if they did the eggplant a tiny bit longer it would have been amazing and creamy inside, but that’s just personal preference.I can only blame myself for not getting the chicken version, because I think the meat would have made it more exciting than just vegies. The problem was the sauce placement. I underrstand that you scoop it across the whole plate for coverage, but when some of your meal items are breadcrumb fried items, you soak away half of the point of frying it in breadcrumbs. It’s not bad, it just would have been better to have had, say, a pool of the curry sauce (even ladelled over the rice would have been fine) seperated from the fried items. Dip it in, keep the flavour curry without sacrificing the light crunchiness.
As for the lychee green tea, you got a reasonably sized teapot of it. The Green Tea aspect was nice. Slightly bitter as you’d expect. You could almost taste the lychee. That said I just really like tea, and there’s no way I can really fault it. I award the Wagamama lunch meal 8 / 10.
Next up was when I bought more cupcakes because Harli and Freyr yelled at me. And let me tell you, I’m actually tempted dock marks for this because out of all the damned eateries in Market City, I could only find one place that sold cupcakes. I literally wandered around for 15 minutes just to get them. But I won’t do that because that would be unfair to the cupcake. Anywho. I can only speak for the cupcake I had. Delicious cupcake base. Moist, heavy but very chocolatey, and sweet. But for me personally, a tad too sweet. Also my cupcake icing was just marshmellow. Whads up with that? 7.5 / 10.
Was dinner next? I think it was. [Assumingly brand name alcoholic beverage]-battered flathead with fries. So fancy fish and chips at Yardhouse. The batter was golden and crunchy and the fish was cooked perfectly. Still flakey inside, which made it great for cutting up so you dip in their tartare sauce. That sauce however, was a tad too creamy. And not lemony enough. And it just occurs to me I could have use the lemon wedge they gave me (which was ridiculously juicy) to solve both those problems, derp. Though I don’t know if it was sympton of flathead (I don’t eat it often) or them just cutting it up in really thin strips, but I like my battered fish to feel like, well, it exists. The flathead offered no flavour, and no texture; though that latter point might be because the batter was so crunchy that it ‘overpowered’ the smoothness of the fish. But yeah, I had to rely a bit too much on the tartare sauce to flavour it. The fries were just like McDonalds fries. Cooked better, but still didn’t offer much. Pretty good for dipping though, I guess. Oh, non descript salad was non descript. 6.5 / 10. More a case of style over substance.
So then while half the group was visiting some sort of sexytime shop or something, I got a pie from Pie Face which was right next door. I asked the Pie Face man for assistance in choosing a pie, and he suggested the Chicken & Mushroom (but probably be cause there wer like 4 of those and only 1 Steak & Mushroom). Pastry was great. Nice and flakey, but didn’t hold its shape very well. Definitely lacking actual chicken and mushroom, but still had a reasonable amount and the sauce was like lava and was packed with flavour. For a snack on a whim? Great. 8.5 / 10.
Last up was another late night snack. Just some large chips from Oporto. I gotta be honest, I remember them being better. Maybe it was because it was 1AM, but half were well cooked (crunchy outside and soft on the inside) and the other half were just cooked (crisp outside, slightly firm inside). They didn’t put enough flavouring on it. Slightly above average at best, but I will give it a 5 / 10-
-
Awesome food post:
10/10Can’t wait for actual Bish write up with links (that work) to pictures!

…Do I have to?

Yes.

Quick catch up from yesterTAY while I was gallivanting around Sydney:
@Greenius RE: anime
Please watch Baccano! In my opinion, the english dub was better than the japanese (probably because most of the characters are actually supposed to be american. I dunno :P). But I’ve been recommending that show to everybody forever and nobody has taken it. xD Also Haruhi Suzumiya if you get the chance! (both english and japanese are good)
@Virus RE: LA Noire
You may as well go the whole hog and rack up ludicrous amounts of damage to get that achievement. I just kept car hopping and crashing each one for like an hour or something while listening to the old time radio. xD
@Sydney TAYbies RE: Fun
I had some.
…that’s it. 😛
-
I’m downloading the ones with the least seeds first so I can get them done and out of the way 🙂
Baccano! has a lot of seeds so I won’t be watching it any time soon even though I want to (I know nothing about it but a friend really liked it). Damn you HD anime and your big file size! Gonna take forevers!
-
-
The tip with the LA Noire achievement is to find the most expensive cars. There’s a special showcase or dealership somewhere where you can smash all of them
-
-
You make my personal parts get all tingly. Have you ever considered lesbianism? If not, chat to Pez for a while then you’ll be gagging for some lady love.
-
So my sewing machine has decided to declare war on me.
Bad timing, Sewing machine, bad timing.
I make myself Bacon, eggs and toast for breakfast and I discover we are out of hash browns. My life is ruined. I may as well just kill myself now.
Tough’en TAYbies workout post thingy:
So I got an exercise bike today and I’m just wondering how much I should be doing? I’m guessing a fairly low resistance /load and not too much distance so I can sort of ease myself into it. I haven’t really done any real physical activity for years now (used to play a ton of sport in high school) so I’m assuming I shouldn’t be doing a full on 20kms or something intense like that.
Any ideas on how much I should be doing? 5km or so, or perhaps less/more? I really have no idea 😛 so any advice/recommendations would be great.
Thankyew <3
(I have pretty weak quads which caused some knee problems during soccer in mid 2010, haven't really done any sort of sport since then)
-
What are you trying to achieve with it? Weight loss or improved fitness or fixing your quad strength?
(b/c for your quads you’d be better off doing squats)

I have an app on my phone that makes sitcom sounds. I have someone to laugh at all of my jokes!

No, I wasn’t talking to you so there was no need for it.

We only stay together because of the kids but as soon as the kids are in college I am outta there.

*looks up from newspaper*
“WE HAVE KIDS?”
(oooh this just got serious, yo)
-
Yes. We adopted them because ew.
-
Mum, I’ve been trying to ask you this for yeeaaars, but you haven’t responded. Who’s that guy who just sits there and reads the paper??
-
Oh great, we adopted a child who constantly changes genders. AND THEY’RE BETTER THAN ME AT TRIALS?!

Well, perhaps if you used the controller instead of the newspaper to play the game, you’d be able to set good times!

Bahahaha!
Well played.

Tension in the household?
He did leave either just before or just after your arrived.
If you guys need mediation, you should get some. It’s not easy avoiding people at Meats.

I missed on meeting Pants 🙁
-
Sorry Rabies, I had to meet my parents for my mum’s birthday dinner (in unrelated news I stuffed my face with delicious Thai food and, for some reason, Japanese beer) so I left while Ruffles was off finding you. I waited as long as I could, but you were lost or something so I had to bail. Next time!
-
He was alarmingly ruggedly handsome.
So much so I barely said a word to him. -
GODDAMMIT.
-
You were too dapper for me. I could only handle a few sentences around you before I got intimidated.
-
Man, we could have talked later in the night if you didn’t leave.
All my Dapper related pieces started breaking. -
Well, so long as the next meat doesn’t have a dress code that I’ll ignore, we’ll be on an even playing field.
Also the top of the cane broke off when I was there. Did it get worse?
-
MY $7 MONOCLE BROKE
I KNOW
SHOCKING
I undappered the cane by taping it up with cheap packing tape.
But it worked!

Oh god, I can’t stand seeing this on Facebook. Noob friend makes post about these *awesome* beats by Dre headphones, other noob comes along saying he should get these other *awesome* beats headphones and then makes another post saying these Turtlebeach headphones are the shiz.. I intervene and say they’re better off spending their money on a quality pair of Audio Technica or Sennheisher headphones.. No doubt i’ll be told I am wrong or laughed at…
Oh also the Turtlebeach headset this kid linked was the wireless one, you know 300 bucks DSE want so I responded with “What a way to waste 300 bucks. Would be a better investment by giving it to me to buy 2x solid state drives for my PC..”
-
Ive been trying to talk the guy I work with out of spend $300 on a pair of beats for a while now. His reasoning is that Dre is a musician, why would he put his name to something that’s shit.

‘sup TAY
three things –
1 – if anyone is interested, I’ve got 4 copies of Torchlight on steam that are free to anyone who wants one.
2 – I just joined twitter. I dont know anything about using it. new technology scares me.
3 – MONOMEAT is awesome meat.
-
1 – Torchlight is fun 😀 (don’t want it just letting others know it’s awesomesauce)
2 – Sweet! When TAY is quiet, Twitter is where the talk is. I’m not sure if you’re already following people but what I did when I first signed up was just follow everyone on TAYnames. From there you’d end up with most people and anyone you miss will soon pop in in the “Recommended people to follow” sort of section.
3 – skeleton jelly… -
If the copies of Torchlight are playable on Mac, then I wouldn’t mind one if that’s ok. 😀
ps. After reading this comment I noticed I had a new follower on Twitter. Thought ‘Oh, maybe that’s him!’ and read their description: “I am open to the possibilities of meeting a nice gentleman, however, I am not sure if he is on here. please follow me.” …perhaps not? xD
-
-
-
and who’s to say I’m not open to the possibility of meeting a nice gentleman?
better than meeting a bastard.
-
I learnt something about myself today. I walk better when I’m drinking then when I’m not. Just fell down crossing a road. Grazed both hands, my left knee, my right foot (shoe broke, YEAH!) and my phone.
-
:'(
If I recall TheLastQuestion actually damaged his shoulder pretty badly from falling at a crossing so just be glad it wasn’t worse 😛
-
-
I sprained my ankle once falling up a flight of stairs.
In front of an entire cinema.
While working.
That was fun!
-
Oh man falling in front of people is the worst 🙁
STOP LAUGHING AT ME
T_______T
-
-
-
Something happened?
Must post about in in TAY. -
Nice.
-
TAY must know of things that happened!
-
-
-
Yeah, I actually dislocated my shoulder and now can’t lift my right arm above my shoulder. SUCCESS!
There’s nothing more humiliating that falling over in a public place.

@NegativeZero – Improved fitness and quad strength. Squats would be good and all but I don't have a set of weights and I kinda can't be bothered 😛
-
On an exercise bike? You can probably do something like 20km on a low resistance.
Probably a good idea to just try and see how far you can go on a comfortable level of resistance for 30-45min and then just try ramping that up.
I only just started going to the gym again and I’m already jogging around 5km as my warm up.
-
I think I’ll do the 30-45 minute thing every day and see how far I get.
Is it more about how long you do it and how strong the resistance is rather than how fast? Like doing 10km in an hour and then getting 10km in 45 minutes the next day (getting faster). I assume it wouldn’t be based on speed to just build up fitness/strength.
(no idea how long it takes just doing an example)Hopefully that made sense 😛
Thanks for the replies

HI CAKESMITH
Missed you during MonoMeat.
I was thinking, between you. me, and Shiggy, we could have some sort of triple act where we just abuse Pez all the time.
If we picked up a fourth, we’ll make a barbershop quartet and sing the insults.-
Man I cried myself to sleep last night* knowing what I was missing out on. I expect epic write ups that will make me feel like I’m there.
*not really**
**they were manly tears-
Sydeny moving plans still in motion?
You could always come up for Pez’s place-warming! Save on accomodation and sleep on his kitchen bench!-
Sydney moving plans are currently in the “find a job” phase.
-
I’ve got to meet the Cakeman before he moves to Sydney D:
dat hair…
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
…said the rapist.
-
OK, I’m sorry. I’ll try to do better next time.
-
-
-
The next one, for those wondering, appears to be the Pez-warming meat, in about a month or so.
-
-
-
-
Hey Rize, your alive I thought you’d be crushed by the perilously placed top bunk on your bed. Either that or you were crushed and you’re now a ghost.
-
You’re alive not your, my mistake. I think the first part of the sentence needed a full stop or exclamation mark as well. Grammar am I right?
-
Fortunately no one slept on it, which probably helped the situation 😛
I should have taken a photo of it…
-
I feel like it’s the pretence of the next Final Destination flick. Dangerously positioned bunk bed.
-
Don’t encourage them!
-
They don’t need encouragement, it’s going to happen eventually.

That’s what cats do right?
Speaking of which my friends moon caine cat died. He liked to sleep in the washing machine -
My cat has only hissed once and that’s because he, a fully grown tubby tabby, was intimidated, by a tiny, runt of the litter ragdoll kitten. He then tried to get it on with her. I don’t know.
That’s sad about your friends cat 🙁
-
Cats are funny =P
But yeah, he was only a year and a half old. I’m thinking I should get her a sympathy card, a really nice one. -
Oh, wow. I thought it might’ve been a very old cat 🙁 I’m sure she’d appreciate a card.
-
Yeah, he was very young. Such a silly cat. I called as soon as I found out on Facebook, I think it’s a little patronizing to just say “I’m sorry to hear that” via facebook
-
-
-
-
hopefully sleeping in the washing machine had nothing to do with the poor thing dying.
-
No, it was a heart murmur.
-
oh thats sad…
I was looking after a kitten for a friends vet clinic a few years ago. 20 weeks old & the poor kitty died from a heart condition. it doesnt help that its so unexpected 🙁 -
It’s never expected =(
“moon caine cat”
I don’t even like cats but that is one of the greatest breed names ever.
Sorry it’s actually Maine coon, I got the words around the wrong way
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine_Coon
I have a maine coon (well, it’s really my sister’s) and it’s the biggest, stupidest piece of fluff I have ever laid eyes upon. He likes to pick on my cat, a little girl one, and freak her out. It is funny when he sleeps though, cause he lays all sprawled out like a dog.
They’re funny cats.
Does he also like water?
Yes, he is quite a mischievous rascal 🙂
He hasn’t really been around a lot of water, so I’m not sure. Squirting him isn’t really an effective form of discipline though.
-
-
paisley. you should totally get paisley curtains.
actually, dont. paisley is pretty fugly & is probably the worst thing to have as curtains.
-
-
What about magnifying glasses?
Yes. Curtains of magnifying glasses. -
spiders. big ones.
so there’s plenty of thing that would be worse than having paisley curtains.
-
-
-
-
Sorry, I’m looking for either black and white with purple highlights, or just plain purple.
It matches my doona cover \o/ -

Hi scree! My wife kicke me off ME3. Apparently it’s not fair to hog the TV for the whole weekend and have to share and let her use it.
-
I have the opposite. Mum hogs the TV all the time. My pile is growing bigger as I don’t get to use my consoles
-
-
Not this again D=
-
I’d send you one but I don’t have a spare 😛
-
I have a spare one there’s just no electricity.
Or heat. -
You should move away from Victoria. The rest of the country has discovered fire.
-
Aha. Very funny. It’s only because our house is old.
-
-
-
-
then i have to move my consoles. #can’tBeArsed
-
But at least you’ll get to play your games!
OH NO!
My wife took my Stig Soap On A Rope out of its box and put it in the shower! Now it’s not a collectible anymore. It’s just a lump of substandard soap hanging from a tap. /o\
-
-
-
-
-
But it’s not like it was played with then ignored 😛
-
I honestly don’t think I learned anything from that movie, considering I cut open the back of my Woody doll’s head and filled it with the stuffing I had previously removed from his body.
-
Which is exactly the reason he stays sealed.
So much rage.
-
-
-
Nothing to do. I guess I have my dinner now.
Also…
I know people will be writing meat write ups for tomorrow and I was thinking of doing one as well. The problem is I’ve forgotten some people’s usernames.
So that I don’t seem rude tomorrow, it would be nice if anyone who was at the Mono-meat who is on TAY right now could help me fill in the blanks. I’ll write a description below and hopefully someone can help me remember.
TAY PEOPLE WHOSE NAMES I CAN REMEMBER
1. Bish
2. Powalen
3. Flu or effluvium boy
4. pez
5. Harli
6 Freyr
7. Alexpants
8. Shiggy
9.Rize
10. #35
PEOPLE I THINK I KNOW OR WHOSE NAMES I MIGHT HAVE FORGOTTEN.
1. Doc What- Oval shaped glasses and blue shirt. Right?
2. Batguy- You arrived later in the evening, Adam?
3. You are Rehrehraiby on twitter-She joined us for dinner at Yardhouse.
4. Camera guy-sat opposite me for lunch at Wagamama.
5. Ben? He met us at the arcade. He and rize were the last people on the arcade machines.
6. We played Tekken at the arcades. you arrived with Pez and were wearing a black leather jacket and purple tie I think.
7. Guy with the infamous bag. We sat in the cab to galaxy world. Scottish?
So if anyone can help out it would be great. Also this picture might help. http://twitpic.com/9enz7v (it’s awesome btw)
Hopefully I can get everyone’s name so I can write a decent post tomorrow morning.
-
Well I know Batguy’s name is Adam (from Twitter)
Reiby is Jugsy (Batgirl) who said she was gonna wear some leopard dress or something
Pretty sure Ben is the designer webpage guy (forgot the term :P) for Kotaku, also Mark’s brother in lawSHUTUP I’M NOT STALKING EVERYONE I JUST HAVE GOOD MEMORY
-
-
Okay let me see which ones I can help you with.
1. I think you’re referring to NovaCascade
2. I can’t help you with that one!
3. Batgirl
4. I believe that was MorkaiAU (going by twitter name, can’t remember if it’s different/the same on TAY)
5. That’d be Ben White?
6. Sounds like Hugo
7. The REAL Doc What 😛Also, you may have forgotten Ruffleberg here. 😛
I will be horrifically embarrassed if I got any of these wrong.
-
Thanks for that Alex. This helps.
Why did you leave TAY early, are you too cool for all of us? 🙂-
I had to meet my parents to go out for dinner for my mother’s birthday. Believe me, I didn’t want to leave early, in fact I stayed half an hour longer than I’d planned to because I didn’t want to leave. Was having way too much fun with everyone. Believe me, I’m not very cool. 😛
-
It’s true. He’s not.
-
D: I will try harder from now on.
For you, Cakey.
-
-
That’s OK. Hope you had a good dinner party.
-
Stuffed my face. Love it when other people pay for my food.
Somewhat related I thought you guys were going to the Bavarian Beer Cafe when I left, but I keep hearing about this Yardhouse place. What happened?
-
Bavarian beer cafe proved to be an expensive option from what I heard so we just walked up the street to Yard House. It seemed to be a good choice because the beer was affordable. For example Pez paid for one round of drinks for about 15 people and the total cost was $78. That’s a really good price.
-
Aw, Pez DOES have a heart, after all!
-
Pez can show signs of kindness!? :O
-
-
-
You have to have a more positive outlook Pez. If you look carefully your name is the only one that isn’t capitalised. That means you are the most important. 🙂
That or I didn’t hold down the shift key hard enough.
-
-
And Jugsy’s twitter name is wrong 😉
-
Shhh, Lambo and Greenius Pez won’t buy my excuse.
-
-
-
-
-
-
definitely nomming you for anti-kudos.
-
But seriously, what did I owe that for?
-
I de-nommed (same as anti-kudos) a person once but Mark read it as a nomination 🙁
That stupid Yellowius scum…
-
I don’t know, but Masha says you owe me money so it must be true.
-
masha2932* with a not capitalised ‘m’
Unless you do the whole
MMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
thing, then the capital and lack of numbers is acceptable.
-
At your place-warming which I will just assume I am invited to, I will try to bring $8 worth of 5c coins and I’ll just drop them all in random places.
And then I will probably end up cleaning them all up by night’s end.
-
Followed by thoroughly cleaning my kitchen and putting the dishes on…. right?
I may even use the correct onions this time.
-
Yeah, probably.
That room was filthy last night.
I couldn’t leave without cleaning it.
-
-
Emotional damages for having a both a bow tie and tie which confused PEZ = -$10
Physical damages for the cane = -$14
To be fair though you did make the cane better with the packing tape so +$16
So (-10) – 14 + 16 = -8
Which means you owe Pez $8.
Disclaimer: The above figures might be complete B.S.
TAY needs an edit button. There is no ‘a’ before both and it’s damages to the cane.
I like this Masha guy.
He can stay.
Also I am totally the guy in front of Doc What not looking at the camera and eating a fry, if anyone was wondering.
Oh and btw in the write up are you planning to use real names or TAY/online handles?
I think for the sake of us who weren’t there TAY handles would be better :P. Otherwise no one will know who’s who.
-
We call each other by our handles anyway.
Except for Doc What. I just call him by his name because he has the best accent.
Oh, I also call Ben White “Ben”. Because. yeah. -
We only ever refer to peeps by their TAY names with a few notable exceptions… otherwise it would just be weird :p
I’ve tried it before and it broke my brain. Plus we don’t actually know a few TAYbies real names… because they’re sneaky like that.
Alex was right, I think I was number 1. @nd from the front on the right of the picture. I was reading through the list of names thinking “/o\ I’ve been forgotten.” Nope just confused for the good Doctor. I am ok with this.
And yes I can think in “/o\”
-
Hi Nova. Sorry about that. To make it up to you I’ll devote a whole paragraph in my write up about how you thought a picture of two police men was trippy. You can argue that you were talking about the video that came up before that picture but #35 and I know the truth.
LOCK YOUR PETS AND CHILDREN TAY!!! NOVA THINKS THEY’RE TRIPPY.
-
What video? The picture of those policemen was totally tripping me out. I just made up the story about the music clip to save my dignity. But now that I’m safely back in the semi anonymity of the interwebs I can freely admit it was all the cops
-
-
Smurfydog and SarcasmFairy asked about iSketch so we might do one of those again 🙂
But other than that, Trials Evolution, Trials Evolution and Trials Evolution?
I also got RDR on Xbots so I’m down to play with ya’ll if that’s another Community Gaming Game.
-
I’d be interested in iSketch if I’m free whatever night it may be on! Figured I’d express interest now.
Also, if Trials is going to be considered, it’d be nice to get some actual multiplayer going for once. 😛
-
-
-
-
iSketch is always fun. Pretty sure I’m getting a Wacom Tablet this weekend too, which may help, as I can only draw left handed, but forced myself to only use a mouse right handed.
Also, we need to work out how to get an easy-ish word list in a private room. Public rooms are fine, but sometimes the locals can be a little touchy.
-
Last time we played we messed around with the word lists and they are truly horrible, I really don’t think there’s any way to get a decent word list in a private room. And I also discovered that private rooms aren’t all that private because you can’t password protect them. So randoms can still join (last time a random joined).
-
Ah! Ok. Don’t know why, but I thought they were password protected.
Silly me! -
So did I 😛
They might’ve been at some point or maybe they still are and I just can’t find that option
-
-
-
Yeah, you can try doing that, but I don’t think we’ll be over Trials for a few more months yet 😛
-
Oh man I can’t wait for a shorter track to be the “track of the week”. Shady hinted at Beach Head so I went ahead and already platinumed that a while ago :P. Can’t get anywhere near Shady though!
-
-
😉
I got the plat for it and was on a “plat high” that I went and got a few more :D. Can’t get the plat for the first level though, no matter how hard I try :(. Being just 0.018 seconds off is incredibly annoying…
-
All this Trials talk make me want a 360. Maybe now that RedLynx is owned by Ubisoft, the next trials game will be on PS3.
Cartoon Devil sitting on Masha’s shoulder: Even if it it’s on PS3, TAY will be playing it on 360. Haha.
Masha: Shut up shoulder devil go bother shoulder angel.
Shoulder devil: You Shut up!!
Masha: Sorry folks give me a second to deal with this. Come here you…

Sorry about that greenius. It’s just an image of a cartoon ball of violence.
You know? The cloud that forms when cartoons are fighting and the cloud ends up sucking up everybody else. -
Ahh I getcha now 🙂
At least PS3 has Journey (and better first party exclusives), speaking of which, did you end up buying it?
Could always buy an Xbox and join the club 😛
-
JJJJJJJJJJOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Nope. The $20 price tag on the AU store is too high at the moment.
I did get mushroom wars from the US store for $10 instead. I’m hoping to try it out tomorrow evening. I loved the music in the demo and the characters are soooo cute. -
But isn’t it only $15 on the US store? 😛
-
I know. It’s kind of dumb on my part. $10 seems like the perfect price for journey. My brain can’t come to grips with the extra $5 even though I know I easily spend $5 a day buying useless stuff when I go shopping.
-
MMMMMMMMMMAAAAAASSSSHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Y U NO
JOOOOOOOOUUUUUURRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????
My brain couldn’t come to grips with $20 but $15 is perfect for it IMO. Definitely worth it at that price!
-
Maybe I’m dead inside.
-
Maybe, but then again I only paid $10 for it 😛
-
All this talk of Journey and Trials makes us PC only gamers re-evaluate our decisions. :/
Then I remember I’m broke. 🙁 -
But PC has mods and better graphics and STEAM SALES :O
-
-
Anime talk:
So I had a quick look (skimmed through an episode) at Mushi-Shi and Baccano!. Mushi seems interesting I guess but Baccano! really caught my attention the second I opened it because of that music 😀 (reminds me of Bebop). I guess this means I’ll watch Baccano! first then (if it finishes downloading by tomorrow).
I think the last anime I watched was Samurai Champloo back in 2009 or so. I thought it was alright but I never saw the final episode(s). Is it worth going back and watching it now? I honestly don’t remember much of the show and it never really had a close-knit story…
A friend watched it recently and said the ending was pretty ‘meh’ but I don’t really like leaving things unfinished, but if it’s not worth my time then I don’t mind never seeing it.
(will repost in new TAY if I don’t get an answer :))
-
-
I had it downloading last night and Ep 1 finished! Also had a quick look (bewbies on the beach?) but I think I’d go with Baccano! or Mushi-Shi first 🙂
-
-
Don’t worry Cakey, I’ll watch it! The fact that I’m even downloading it means it’s passed my selection process :).
-
Cakey, Eng or Jap for Elfen?
-
I’ve watched both and prefer the Jap version.
Having said that, the English translation doesn’t suck like on most animes.
-
-
-
I also forgot to add that these are all dual audio and I can’t really decide what language to watch it in D:
I don’t mind English and sometimes it’s easier because I don’t have to read subtitles but I dunno… Hmmm… dilemma!
-
Oh man, Baccano is classy.
Thing is, it’s all an intertwined story so you kind of have to take mental notes.The more you see, the more you’ll get familiar with the characters, but those first few episodes might be murky.IIRC, Baccano dub wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t good either, at least compared to Japanese version. But that might just be “Japanese is the original language how the characters are ment to sound” mentality kicking in.
Re: Shamploo
Sure if you feel you need to, but you’re not missing out on anything. Just know that everyone wins. Mostly.-
I love intertwined stories!
Is it one of those ones where things happen out of place and everything sort of just comes together in the end? Love it when movies/shows/things do that properly!
-
-
Yes! How good is the Baccano opening! I love it. As far as which dub to watch… honestly I’d say to watch the English dub. It depends on what you like though, I suppose. I usually go for English if the option is there.
ps. If you end up liking Baccano, I’d recommend watching the movie Snatch, if you haven’t already. They’re similar in a lot of ways.
-
-
I’m sure I’ll like it 🙂
I actually haven’t seen Snatch yet and I’ve been meaning too. I also want to see the other one… Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was it?
Just realised I don’t like Kotaku AU on Facebook.
Then I realised it was Facebook and that Facebook is meh. Like it anyway 😀
-
I don’t really ‘like’ anything on Facebook and I’ve also never really ‘joined a group’ or become a ‘fan’ of something either :P.
Just ceebs using Facebook nowadays… TAY/Twitter/Steam is where it’s at <3
-
How I find it now is:
Facebook – Family/People I feel obligated to be friends with/People I went to school with
Twitter – People I actually care about
Steam – Essentially just my Twitter list again heh-
Pretty much sums it up lol
I actually have a bunch of pretty good friends that I just literally stopped talking to for no apparent reason other than I’m in my own “hermit mode”. I haven’t even talked to some of my best mates from high school in months :P. A while ago one of them ringed me up asking me to go to his b’day. I didn’t. I’m best friend.
-
Grrr! I cancelled you by pressing the little ‘X’!
-
-

I think it’s also to do with common interests and stuff. Most of my high school friends weren’t really into games (remember I’m a total jock 😉 ) and so I’ve had all this nerdy/geeky stuff built up and ready to unleash into the interwebs (which is why I talk so much in TAY/Twitter).
-
I’ve been in hermit mode for about 2 years now with no end in sight.
Someone summed it up nice once:
Facebook is where you lie to your friends.
Twitter is where you’re honest to strangers. -
About 2 years for me as well lol
I just started to lose interest in going to parties and whatnot… Maybe it’s because I’m not really a drinker and everyone was getting shitfaced/high :P. I like my sleep damnit! (parties went well into the AMs)
-
I’m not that big of a drinker. The last 3 weeks is the most I’ve drunk in a long time. I blame TAYbar.
I never got the appeal of parties or going to the clubs. It normally just ends up with me standing or sitting in a corner wishing I was at home haha.
I enjoy sleep to, but I’m very much a night person.
-
I think I also had enough with all the dickhead shenanigans we’d do :P. Parties and ‘gatherings’ were getting too loud with their doof doof music. I like my peace and quiet and ‘chill’ time! And yep, most of them ending up with me being bored to hell and wishing I was home. I’ve actually just straight up ditched parties because they were ‘shit’. I am best friend. Consequently, for one of the parties I ditched, I wasn’t invited to her next party lol.
I think I was pretty much just also bored of seeing the same people over and over again. Sure I had a MASSIVE group of friends (there was like 50 of us who’d always be at parties and stuff but we each had our own little groups within the massive group – groupception?) but they were also all school friends which I saw every damn day… zzz
Thankfully I’ve never been clubbing, I doubt I’d like it that much anyway 😛 (unless I get my groove on).
-
lol no idea how this talk about liking Kotaku on Facebook turned into a discussion about our hermit modes… heh
-
Not the most bizarre conversation pattern I’ve ever had on here haha
-
-
-
My draft meat write-up came out at a total of 1851 words. I fear that may be too much. Is that too much?
-
-
I take this as permission to write in more detail.
I shudder to think what the write-ups by people who were there for the entirety of the meat are gonna be like.
-
-
I remember when Cakesmith write a giant possibly 2000+ word write up then posted it 3 times 🙂
So no, it’s not too much, in fact I think it might be to little!
-
Hey! I only posted it twice!
Bunny posted his 3 times.
And it was 3000 words thank you very much.
-
-
-
I haven’t even thought about writing anything yet! D: Maybe I should just wait until everybody else has posted and then write “what they said”.
-
-
-
-
The problem with pictures is that posting more than one in the write-up will mean it’s moderated. I only have three or four photos though so I might just quickly post them as individual replies afterwards.
-
Hey, as long as they’re labelled (and the links work, Bish :P) then it’s all good with me.
I’ve got Uni stuff the whole day tomorrow so I’ll be playing the TAY catchup game anyway and won’t miss the once lost in moderation write-ups 😀
-
-
-
Yes!! I am not alone !! I was writing a draft as well because I tend to forget things and at the moment I’m at 980 words. At this point we are still inside the monorail. It might be longer than most essays I wrote at uni. Wow.
Also Powalen writing ‘what they said is brilliant idea, hmm, what to do?-
Continue writing!
The more in-depth the meat write-ups are the better! And when there’s more of them, the people who didn’t attend can feel like they were there 😛
-
Heh, I was thinking earlier that this was so much easier to write than the essay I was working on all day.
-
Sneak peek at MASHA’s MEAT MANUSCRIPT:
In fact arguments about dapper-ness always seemed to come up throughout the day.
Once we were inside we were all like Woooo \o/ \o/ but then two minutes in our carriage realised it’s just another train so we were all meh. 5-10 min later we were off the train. Ruffleberg later told us that it might be 3 years before they even start to tear it down. What?
THAT’S TAY FOR YOU. EITHER WE’RE TOO EARLY OR TOO LATE. SO WHAT’S NEXT FOR A MEAT? I HEAR THE PS4/NEXT XBOX IS COMING OUT IN TWO YEARS LET’S HAVE A MEAT NEXT MONTH. 🙂-
Haha, you have an alliterated title as well! It took me 10 minutes to come up with mine… There’s not many words that start with P that can be used in place of ‘write-up’. xD
-
I can tell you that my version of events in that section is very, very different. 😛
-
Sweet. Different perspectives are always nice. I thought you were in the other carriage ? You guys stayed strong and stayed on there for a while.
-
Yep, we stayed on for three full circuits! It was about 50 minutes all up.
-
-
-
Sorry for all the comments lately 😛
You know the dealio, unemployed Uni student with nothing to do…
🙂
-
See you tomorrow as well. You gave up too early though.
It’s 10min before a brand new DAY, why not start it with a post on TAY.Rhyming skills. Boom.
-
I guess that’s it for me as well. See you all tomorrow and I can’t wait to read all the write ups. Goodnight TAY.
-
Hey gang!
Probably not many of you will read this, but I’ve had a great Demon’s Souls day. Took down 5-2, 5-3, 1-3, and the Black Phantoms in 1-4. The end is SO CLOSE.
The endgame trophy will be my proudest gaming accomplishment to date, and it will be mine.
So, we’ve a few TAYbies playing EVE online now and have something of a kotaku Corp going.
Off to a good start. We can’t manage to warp as a fleet even after several tries, managed to make a declaration of war at a time when nearly everyone would either be in bed or at work (though this didn’t prove much of an issue as we couldn’t work out how to vote for the war dec to pass) and lost over 500million isk.
But we’ve had a few laughs. THATH COUNTS!
Anyone else surprised the new SSX addon was free? first ME3 now SSX, EA seems a lot less evil these days.
-
Ahh wait it freezes at 99% they must of pulled the download off XBOXLIVE since it was free? idk
So Major Nelson announced no more inside xbox videos. I rarely watch these but when live is a paid service it kind of sucks that it is losing this. My only hope is this is leading to a completely free service which I highly doubt.
What i am going to say doesn’t paint me in a pretty light but after browsing through a website it looks like Max Payne 3 has leaked.
Hooray! I have internets!!!!
Well Pyrean has internets, my computer died yesterday so I only have internets until he wakes up to claim his computer.
