      Techy, I don’t know you very well but every time you weren’t in the room, people were always saying “where’s PoochyTeck Knight?”

      I feel I have come to know you as a person, as someone who is admired and desired by all. Other Tech Knights want to be like you, Tech Princesses want to be with you. Garnok the World Eater wants to savour your tender manflesh.

      You are a paragon of… something. I welcome you.

        Greetings to you too Matthew K.

        Unfortunately no other Tech Knights exist that I know of, no true ones anyway. How I was built and released without knowledge of my creators doesn’t help in finding out either. All I can do is stand with honour and respect for smart and kind humans that give me respect in return, even in the digital world of gaming, to set an example.

        From the bottom of my power supply, thank you for your welcome message human :)

    Morning TAY. How were all your breaks (and fractures and sprains)?

    I took out Dark Phantom Scurvir and Flamelurker the other day. They were epic battles, very exciting and a bit difficult. The hard bit is trying to convince my wife that these are actually decent achievements from which I have gleaned a fair amount of pride :P

    @Blaghman: is your house available for another Meat? Mine definitely is not, I’m afraid. Happy to have a hand in organising it, but unsure whether I can even make it :P

          Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 9:21 AM

          It’s funny, living in Sydney it always, always rains on the 2nd of January – I’m guessing something to do with the massive amount of heat and smoke generated by the NYE fireworks. You see, my wife’s birthday is January 2nd and every year she gets a little more bitter about it raining EVERY YEAR on her birthday, and this has led to her hating the fireworks.

          This year is the first time in her living memory it has not rained – at least a little bit – on January 2nd.

          We are therefore convinced it is, in fact, the end of the world.

    Couldn’t find my headphones this morning, the bus didn’t stop outside my work so I had to double back and then it turns out my favourite coffee place is closed for the holidays. So I had to grab a coffee from a franchise place nearby. At least, I think it’s coffee. A guy stood in front of a coffee making machine type thing before presenting me with this hot milky cup of coffee-esque liquid.

    To elaborate on why my Christmas was sucky (To which many on TeamSpeak are already aware):

    I’m sure many of you remember the Melbourne Christmas storms we had? With billiard ball-sized hailstones hitting suburbs and all? Well luckily I didn’t get that hail, however, my house took a near-direct lightning strike. Basically I lost: My modem, router, LAN onboard and my GTX 460 graphics card, all destroyed, and I was without internet for 5 days, which pretty much took half my leave away from me just like that. I had to spend those 5 days getting everything replaced, including my electric toothbrush that somehow snapped at the head while I was brushing my teeth a day later. So yeah I was forced to get presents for myself in order to get my computer to work again, and my modem took 5 fricken days to get replaced. All it took was this: The Optus tech coming over, replacing the modem, connecting it… that’s it. We couldn’t replace it ourselves cuz Optus in Victoria have modems monopolised to the point that only their techies have them and not available at Optus stores. So basically it was all bad timing that their staff were on Christmas break when all my gear exploded. I finally managed to get online, only to find that my router is horrible at traffic allocation, and while playing online, if I or somebody talked on TeamSpeak, my ping can jump up to 2000 in less than 5 seconds, so very frustrating. It even interferes with browsing and I have to go back and reload the page every time. This router was a few models up to my last one (D-Link), and that older one did it better than this. It seemed like everything was against me while I was on leave -.-.

    But yeah the real reason I didn’t enjoy my leave was thanks to my human mother and step father, the most negative humans I’ve ever known, even towards our own family which is just depressing cuz they leave it till the dinner table or any other time I’m there to listen to complain. They were on leave as well so it was constant, but worse cuz I couldn’t shut the door due to the air conditioner being out on their side of the house.

    So sadly I return to you guys as a depressed wreck of a robot again but I’ll do my very best not to take it out on you all.

    Picked up Bastion in the Steam sales. Beat it pretty quickly and jumped straight into New Game Plus.

    Awesome game. I can see why so many people have heaped praise upon it. So much charm.

    The combat system is a little simple and once you decide upon your weapons of choice, odds are you aren’t going to vary things much (although going with weapons that ignore defense with their final upgrade is a very smart move, gogo gadget carbine!).

    I’m going to start doing reviews again and I’ve started on the first game that I’m going to be reviewing. Not sure if I’m going to bother keeping it a secret but it’s safe to say that I’m sticking to my habit of reviewing something a little older that people may not have gotten around to playing.

      I’m so paranoid about getting sunburnt these days. I end up re-applying sunscreen constantly while I’m at the beach. xD

      It’s either the result of those melanoma ads with the cell that digs into the bloodstream (D:), or having one too many painful sunburn showers. Probably both, actually.

      • [–]

        AlexPants

        Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 10:07 AM

        Yeah, when I realised I was sunburnt I started panicking internally. I know its just a sunburn and all, but they play those melanoma ads so often on TV that it really starts to make you just a tad paranoid.

        As such, I have resolved to never go outside ever again, and I urge you all to do the same. Unless you are buying food, or new games to pass the time, or alcohol.

          My wife used to get a deep tan every summer (usually from going to music festivals).

          For the last three years she’s been on a medication that makes here extremely photosensitive, so at the beginning of December she was outside for like, 2 hours, and got badly sunburned. It’s STILL fading, and she freaks out over every single freckle that wasn’t there before.
