Morning all! First off.. anyone need computer work or parts? I need moneys!!
Now that’s out of the way, Hope you all enjoyed your weekends! Mine was not too bad. I guess you could say I had a couple of dates! :0 Perhaps not dates so much as meeting new friends, but they were girls that I met, so could be either or.. guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens in future meetings 😉 That’s actually why I’m asking if anyone wants work done or parts too.. I wasn’t really expecting to be going out and spending money this weekend cos I’m pretty broke, but I couldn’t turn down the offer of meeting some new friends.. especially when they just happened to be hot women :0 So yer.. seriously.. HELP! I’m dead broke! I’ll do any kind of work.. computer work.. mow your lawn… whatever. Just let me know plz! 😉
-
I’ve got an 18 acre property…I don’t think you’ll want to do my mowing 😛
Anyway, I’ve already got an idea on how to get you some moneys.
Here’s what I do:
1. Write an article about the misconceptions of PC Gaming.
2. Post a link to a cheap, decent gaming rig that’s less than $1000 (without a monitor because game consoles don’t come with TVs, the closer you can get to $600, the better) that just happens to be being sold by you, to prove that pc’s don’t have to cost you an arm and a leg (and a foot, liver, spleen, ear and small intestine).
3. Get Tracey to put it up on Kotaku
4. ???
5. ProfitWhat do you think?
-
heheh well if anyone is interested in buying a computer like that I’m happy to put something together.. but would anyone actually be interested?
-
I’m actually fairly interested in upgrading one of my parts soon. Not sure what, but it’s been a year since I put together my baby so I think I want to upgrade something.
Mobo is fine, gfx card is still as shiny as day one, perhaps I should go overboard and boost my ram to 12GB?
-
ACTUALLY
I NEED MOAR SHEEP FOR MY NETBOOK
DO YOU DO DDR2 RAM FOR NETBOOKS??
/capsz
-
yessum I do indeed! I can get any kind of parts and accessories for desktops laptops and netbooks.
-
Excellent. What’s your email, maybe we can work out a deal?
-
sales at welbot-it dot com
-
-
-
You can wash my car!
Cost of flights to Adelaide not included.
Oooh, giiiiirrllls! 😀
I wish I could help you! I actually need a new computer badly but can’t afford it. Hmmmm, what’s your going rate for an on-site visit?
-
usually $85 an hour
-
You’re too expensive for me! I’ll just have to think of something else I can do for you, then.
-
I’d say $85 an hour to not only get computer stuffdone but also hang out with Welbot is cheap as!
-
Indeed, except sadly I only have $30 in my bank until the end of the week.:P
-
-
Good morning all, how was everybody’s weekends
-
Here’s some extra question marks to replace the forgotten one
?????
-
SSPPPPAAACCCEEE MAARRINNEEE!!!!
-
All hope of Kotaku Chronicles part IV being finished this year has just flown out the window… 🙁
-
As i said before – when Mark comes back – i’d hate for him to miss it lol
-
-
So I tried to play some Tekken 6 online at the weekend.
It was LAGTASTIC!
I then played some Final Fantasy XIII again.
My weekend was a masochist’s dream come true.
I did do some art though. Rage comic: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c268/cronotriggr/DrWhat_RAGE.jpg
And a sketch for my custom stick art: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c268/cronotriggr/StickArtWIP3.jpg
-
I can’t wait to see your stick when it’s done, it’s going to be fantastic.
…please nobody say “that’s what she said”…
-
Thanks Lady Strange!
-
Morning all, Just thought I’d mention it here since the dedicated topic is like 3 days old and no-one goes back that far.
Sonic Generations Limited Edition is available through most major gaming stores (EB Games, GAME, JB-Hifi are the ones I looked at, all three had it on their sites)
-
Every time I hear of a new Sonic game, I just think of the bit from The Simpsons where Homer beats up the dwarf dressed as the hamburgler type character.
“Stop it! He’s already dead!”
-
On the contrary – i haven’t given a damn about any of the recent sonic games… although colors did look like it might be half decent…
But this new one… it really looks promising.. it could be the sonic game that’s been dearly needed for sooo damn long!
-
We’re up to about the seventh or eight time that this is relevant.
Until it comes out and is proven to be good, we simply should not get excited about Sonic games. It’s the only way to be safe.
-
hahaha very fair point
-
Its kinda sad really, being a long term Sonic fan I really cannot bring myself to not get excited when Sega build anticipation and the game look promising, but I know I might just be falling for the Sonic cycle yet again, but for all intents and purposes it looks really promising. Nothing short of Sega gleefully proclaiming another ‘werehog’ level PR disaster could really kill the level of anticipation the game has garnered with the Sonic faithful.
-
-
-
I think the same way, but whenever a sonic is released usually the voice of reason is drowned out by the yells of my inner child saying “SONIC SONIC SONIC, I LOVE SONIC”.
That usually ends with me waking up in a haze with a controller in my hand then realising i have just bought the new Sonic.
Although this one looks pretty good, I’ll probably get the Sonic Collector’s Ed. for the extras!
-
I agree, Sonic Generations can be absolutely terrible, but the added stuff you get for the collectors edition are simply too great to pass up.
-
-
O, HAI.
I hope your weekends were resplendent with awesomeness.
Ok…you guys… Space Marine.. Seriously…
Sooooo Awesome.
Good news for people who don’t know a thing about 40k – The story is REALLY thin, so you don’t really need to worry about it.
While it’s a LITTLE disappointing for 40k fans, it more than makes up for it with sheer visceral combat!
A couple of things:
I spend most of my weekend playing the multiplayer aspect of Space Marine, also playing with Hugo and Cracks on Firday night. They were already much better than me, but damn if i didn’t have a barrel of fun! Something about the multiplayer is just so enjoyable and well balanced. I just love it to pieces!
And the sound of the gun – ESPECIALLY the Stalker Patern Bolter… my god it’s so satisfying.
So in multiplayer i am up to Level 10 out of 41, which isn’t bad – there are only 2 game modes and only a handful of maps, but for me thats great because i get to familiarise myself with them and become slightly better at what i’m doing. There are tonnes of things to unlock and heaps of perks, too – including heaps of class and weapon specific perks, which are great if you’re better at one thing more than the other.
I’m playing on medium on Singleplayer, and boy am i glad i didn’t choose hard… while at times it can be fairly easy-ish, there a times where the difficulty curve slaps you directly in the freakin’ face. It gets hard… real hard… And i’m not even up to the chaos part yet!!
Really i am enjoying this game so damn much to the point where i even dreamed about it all last night. haha
Seriously – if you haven’t got it.. get it!
It’s just sooo…. tasty!
-
You dreamed about Space Marine, do you know what I dreamed about last night?
My mother returned from her holiday(just my Mum, my Dad was nowhere to be found) to come in and yell at me to clean up the house.
I should probably heed her advice, but I am way too lazy for this…
-
or you could play space marine
-
I’d need to buy it first, and balls to that.
-
-
-
Let me try and rant less – the gameplay is actually very VERY solid – which is great!
And the mobs don’t have the Dynasty Warriors mentality… you know, the one where they take turns trying to hit you.
In THIS game, if you get stuck in the middle of a large mob with no way out, you are screwed, son!
Even when you’re performing the health-regenerating executions enemies will continue to cut you up…-
Yeah I really like that about the game, I think we got spoiled by games where if you need a breather you just do lots of executions and the enemies just stand around and wait for their turn.
In Space Marine if you want to do an execution you need to single someone out and give yourself space to make the kill happen.I LOVE how this game forces you to use a completely different mindset from other action games. Low on health? Charge in. Want executions? You have to wait until it’s clear to do so.
-
Maybe that’s why I sucked at the demo, playing it too much like Dynasty Warriors. That and I thought you were supposed to just execute everyone and I usually ended up losing more health then I gained during the animation.
-
-
You’re not alone your Chuloopiness, I did dream of Space Marine Friday night, basically went straight to sleep after playing it and then thought I was still playing it.
I am now totally in love with the Storm bolter, plus combine it with the second weapon perk, then use the Meltagun, excellent mid range weapon plus orgasmatastic short range weapon and you are an unstoppable killing god, unless you suck… like me… it is still awesome though. -
I am on level 22 on PC atm but there are so many issues with it I think I might wait for my PS3 copy to arrive.
-
Apparently the PS3 version has quite a few bugs too – but not the 360 one – go figure.
They are in the middle of fixing them all, though 🙂
-
Yeah, I have faith in Relic. I CAN WAIT!
-
-
-
Space Marine!
Finished the campaign over the weekend. Was enjoyable, if a little thin. The ending was very much a cliffhanger though. Damn you, Relic!
Multiplayer is boss. Was awesome fun playing with you and Hugo. Can’t wait for the free DLC 😀 -
Hearing this like makes me really upset the THQ decided to gouge the Aussie market. I like to keep all my games in my steam account so doubling for no reason means I can’t buy it.
Curse my principles
Monday? Boo! TABTOL? Yay!

And there I was, thinking that I’d been quiet.
*sigh*
I guess this is what we get when JM3 is busy.
-
In what bizarre world is 234 posts quiet?
-
In my world.
-
-
-
I like how Mags still made #2 without internet for half the week.
-
You know it 😉
-
-
Woohooo, made it into the top fifteen.
Next week top ten, then… the WORLD.
Bahahahahaha.-
You’d need to post more than me to take the world, and do you really think that’s going to happen?
-
You are just lucky I don’t use a PC during the day
-
-
-
Woo! Up to 3rd place!
Made 130ish comments more than last week!
-
I love it how a I can be first without out actually being 1st 😛
-
You didn’t combine my f4ction, Brother f4ction and Lord Commander f4ction 😛
Oh well, I’m more about quality over quantity anyway 😉
-
1000th post and TOTP last week? Damn, that’s awesome.
-
Awww my mid week name change put me at 42 and 39.
Combined I’d be in the top 30. but I guess lots of people are in that crazy spacemarine boat.
Rang Microsoft this morning because they auto-renewed my Gold on a monthly subscription after I’d purchased the “Two months for $2” special while we had the free month of Foxtel on 360.
Just wanted them to turn it off, didn’t bother asking why I had to actually call them because I knew the poor guy would have had to give me the company’s bullshit excuses but then he offered the bullshit excuse without me even asking. He’s all “You might be wondering why we changed it so you now have to call..” and before I could say “actually, no, no I wasn’t wondering” he continued to tell me it was because they liked to contact customers personally when credit cards were involved. I just laughed at him.
-
If they like contacting customers personally, why do you have to initiate contact?
It took me a fair bit of effort to get auto-renew taken off of my account. Luckily they tried to do it off of an expired debit card so they couldn’t take the money. The problem is that it killed all net access on my Xbox until it was resolved because it wouldn’t revert to free access.
Their billing department leaves a lot to be desired.
-
I just do it with cards purchased at retail.
-
-
Ugh I’ve got this too.
I’ve been trying to remove my credit card from their system for ages but I simply don’t want to call them.*Sigh* Guess I’ll just have to bite the bullet
-
Yeah I had to do that as well, much angst because I could not remember what address I had on that account and they would not help me until I told them.
Never mind that I could tell them every other detail about the account from passwords to credit card details but no, the totally irrelevant postal address was what they focused on.Needless to say I will never give Microsoft any payment details ever again.
Steal $80 from me once? Shame on you. Trust you ever again? Shame on me.
Morning, all.
And also…
On ya, Sammy!
-
Captain Tidus got tired of stomping orks and decided to cut through the veins in my eyes
this was 6 hours after i stopped playing space marine, so it’s a lot better than what it was before..
Still red today, too lol
-
that wasn’t meant to be a reply to you… lol sorry
-
Ouch.
Hope it clears up soon. -
Ha, I had the exact same issue, I saw my nephews on the weekend and they started calling me a demon. Of course my reaction was to start chasing them around the yard with various swords and axes.
Plastic ones, they’re not ready for the real deal yet.
Soon though, very soon.
-
-
man serena is a terrible person she was being a total bitch to the umpire calling her all sorts of names
-
Poor sportsmanship is always saddening to see.
-
-
So apparently this morning on the news, one of the channels (9, possibly) kind of linked how awesome it would be if Serena Williams won the US Open on 9/11.
Maybe she was angry at that. Her skills not matching up to her bleeding heart patriotism.
Bit of a weird link to make, I thought.
I bought a Roomba on the weekend.
His name is Larr-E, because he’s Wall-e’s less charismatic 2nd cousin.
I also finished Deus Ex… That final act was very… eh, right?
-
are they the vacuuming robot. I would be scared it would turn out like a killer robot that can’t stand being unclean. Until they vacuum the entire HUMAN RACE.
-
My girlfriend doesn’t want it to vacuum at night in case it relays the layout of our house to it’s robot brothers and they break in and kill us and assume our form.
I’m not kidding, this was actually said to me.
-
I think you found the right girl Dan, she sounds as nuts as you are! Why wouldn’t you be scared at daytime though.
-
-
-
oh please tell me you at least taped a kitchen knife to the top of it, so when robots do rise, they’ll remember who was the first to arm them?
-
I’ve always wanted a Roomba. They remind me of the DRDs from Farscape!
-
I’ve never heard of Roombas, but I love DRDs, so will investigate 🙂
-
Oh, almost forgot! 3 new shirts!
-
The famicom one is the shit, yo! 😀

“You should buy, like, eight or something” – Dr What?
-
I’ll probably pick one up in a couple of weeks – i need to start buying some new tees 🙂
-
-
Coming next week: The Lesser Evil graphic novel. Stay tuned!
According to my publisher, my work reminds them of Game of Thrones (link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Zeta-Comics/157969740882180 ).
-
i want to buy it, is your site going to sell it shane?
-
Possibly, but I think to begin with, I’ll just provide links to all the places it’ll be available from. There WILL be Australian sources, so not just Amazon!
-
sweet i read the blurb on your site and it looked pretty awesome.
-
-
All this talk of Space Marine makes me sad.
Should have taken today off so I could stand at my door waiting for my copy of Space Marine would finally arrive from Big W.
-
Please forgive my terrible (just terrible) grammar, I’m in the process of drinking my morning coffee.
-
what console you get it on, buddy?
-
360!
I believe I have an gold membership (or whatever the internets for microsoft is called) can’t remeber what it is called though.
-
add me if you want to get a game in sometime 🙂

I am still waiting for them to ship Dead Island.
Still says “order being processed” and when I click on the link, it syas my session has timed out.
Hugo getting angry.
And Clubby getting clubby.
WWWWEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW
AN EXCITING TWO WEEKS THIS IS
-
‘splain. And… go.
-
This week! RAGE event at the Opera House! Next week! Event I cannot talk about!!
and CANBERRA!!
-
Woooo
Canberra party time at blaghman’s!-
Holy crap, that’s… the weekend after this one?
HAHA, so glad I don’t need to organise anything!
:I -
HA HA 0_0
-
Easy: everyone meet at EPIC for the last day of the Lifeline Bookfair. How hard is that. 😛
-
-
-
Testing a new handle.
Is it too much?
-
WHOAAAA WHAT IS THIS revolutionary change I don’t know if I can handle it good doctor…!!!
-
I changed it to:
“Dr What? <- Click for Awesome Shirts"
And Kotaku wasn't happy.
-
-
What the hell!? Where did it go!?
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
This time?
Happy Moon Festival today everybody!!
-
Harvest Moon Festival!
-
I love harvesting moons!!!
-
Where we lavish praise upon the bestest of HM games, Friends of Mineral Town. Although Rune Factory 3 might be a competitor if we included spinoffs.
-
-
BRB acquiring many moon cakes.
-
REMEMBER IN FF8 HOW THE MOON WAS ACTUALLY ANOTHER WORLD FOR MONSTERS
UNNECESSARY CAPS AND YELLING
ALSO I FORGOT WHERE I WAS GOING WITH THIS-
Were you going to say that Rinoa was the cause for 80% of the problems occurring in that game, and the other 20% was mostly Quistis?
-
Not particularly.
I think it was something along the lines of ‘This festival was only created to appease the moon, so that it wouldn’t rain unknown creatures upon us to ravage our lands.’ or something.Also, Majora’s Mask.
-
-
-
Alright, time to prepare for some Moon Watching.
…
…
…
Yup, it’s still the moon.-
Pretty good moon spotting skills, seeing as it’s a super bright, sunny, cloudless day.
-
He’s from Canberra, they don’t get sun over there.
-
That explains a lot…
-
It would definitely explain how I’ve managed to lose my beautiful tan over the past few years…
-
Moon tan is way nicer.
-
-
-
Morning all.
Anyone got a good remedy for a pretty chesty cold?
Other than that, did anyone else spend most of the weekend playing Dead Island, or is all about the Space Marines? I may be slightly addicted to tropical zombie bashing…
Another fine example of our broken classification system. If there was ever a game that should be R18, this is it.
-
Tea, jelly beans and leeches.
Try each separately and if that doesn’t work start mixing and matching.
Please note, my medical experience is limited to being quite good at Trauma Center and playing healer type characters in MMOs.

Hey look it’s a pretty butterfly!! What’s this, a creamy?
OH GOD AHHH NOO MAKE IT STOP-
-
How the hell did I spend years playing that game?
-
*Walks a couple of maps to the south of a main city*
“Hmm this forest is particularly pretty, oh look some new monsters”
*Thinks to self* “I can almost 1 hit the monsters in the last area this joker should be a breeze”*Dead*
-
Mate, I was KING of that game. Vertical firewalls? No probs. Stunlock? No probs. Solo Eddga? No probs.
Ah, RO. You stole much of my life and I don’t even want it back.
-
I don’t like to show of but yeah *clears throat* I could solo Poring (and those little spiky worm things).
Hold the applause please
-
My AssassinX could take down a reflect Paladin in under a minute without dying or using Enchant Deadly Poison.
+9 House Augers. I swear, some high rate servers were broken.
Shame nothing beat insta-cast Asura Strike Monks in PvP because those bastards would just spam yggs. Using healing items in PvP was cheating!
-
Damn, I think Noobheadshot wins this round
-
I won’t concede defeat so easily!
On one character, I decided to collect Jellopy and ended up with over 300 of the damned things.
The character was called Mr. Jellopy.

Good call Trjn. I’m off to get jelly beans!
I spent my weekend playing Minecraft 1.8 pre-release. Man that update is so awesome. The new lighting looks fantastic, and the improved combat makes it so much more fun hunting monsters. Endermen, on the other hand, don’t work in SMP, so they were rather boring…
I feel like an old man for saying this, but I agree that it should not be MA. It’s brutal! And it doesn’t help that I’m immature, so I’ll cut/bash the limbs off the corpses on the ground…
In all seriousness, here’s a secret recipe Mark gave me when I was feelin’ under zee weather –
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon crushed ginger
2 tablespoons honey
juice of half a lemon
(optional) some chilli powder
Crush the garlic and mix in with all the ingredients in a large mug. Top the mixture off with some warm (NOT hot!) water. Stir. Chug it down like a man.
You’ll feel better in no time!
-
I ate a raw clove of garlic this weekend.
Also took a few bites out of an onion.Yep, I’m a real catch 😉
-
Just how drunk were you this weekend?
-
I will not deny that some amount of tequila may have been involved.
-
-
I eat raw cloves of garlic for breakfast.
-
How drunk are you by default?
-
-
-
Add whisky… remove ginger, garlic, honey, water, lemon and chilli powder.
-
*clink*
-
Better go through the whole course of the prescription.
-
-
So, other than myself and Hugo, who ordered Dead Island through Big W’s website last week?
Mine is still reading ‘Order being processed’, despite the fact that they took my money already…
-
Yup, Im in the same boat. Obviously Big W is still in the order of “processing” what to spend out money on.
Spent yesterday and Dukey’s (our mate and ‘producer’ for the LGM) place setting up things for next weekend’s Lame Game Marathon.
Some thoughts so far:
1) 4 webcams and 3 capture cards means a LOT of USB ports. I feel like Tassadar is over our shoulders saying ‘YOU REQUIRE MORE USB PORTS’. SHUT UP TASSADAR I KNOW WHAT IM DOING JEEZ.
2) Wires! Wires everywhere!
3) In order to capture the PC footage it has to run through a TV. So we’re going to have 50+ big screen inches of Garden Simulator OH YEAH BABY
-
Somehow that does not seem optimal, yet it seems to fit with the theme of playing bad games :p
-
Yeah pretty much. Our opinion is if it works we’re going for it.
Flying by the seat of our pants WOOOOO
-
-
You know what won’t be funny if you trip on the wires while streaming.
-
I am terrified that that will happen actually 😛
-
-
Don’t forget Zumba Fitness!
-
HEY.
What is it exactly that you’re implying, hmmmmm?-
LOL!
You’re back!!! I was wondering when you’d make an appearance.
What I meant was, uh, you see.. *sweats and adjusts collar nervously* (this works, because I am wearing a collared shirt, you see. I like my collared shirts very muchly so. Especially my black one. It looks pretty cool when I pair it with my skinny black tie. What can I say, I like wearing black on black. haha. You know what they say about it. What was that saying? “Once you go black, you’re gonna need a wheelchair!”)
Now where was I…?
-
-
Anyone remember that game Dink Smallwood? How awesome was that game.
-
Wait.. i thought that was an adult movie…
-
That’s a terrible name for an adult movie! Marketing fail.
-
Some guys like that stuff i guess. Remember if it exists there is a porn of it.
-
it’s porn to make you feel better about yourself
-
Hey, it’s only twice the size of mine, instead of the usual 8 times…
-
hence you feel better
-
-
-
SO GOOD! I loved beating up the pigs.
That game was so odd!
I remember finding a village that worshipped chickens, so I killed all the chickens. The town was about to lynch me but then someone started eating the chicken and realized it was delicious. After that they declared me a hero.
I saved the entire village from veganism 😀
Dink Smallwood! One of the weirdest, most awesome RPG’s I’ve ever played.
Need some help getting through the day?
You need turbonegro
My mission for today:
1) Get capture card to recognise PS3.
2) Get HDMI splitter to work properly.
3) Play some SC2.
4) SPACE MARINE!
5) If there is any time left, edit the last bit of footage captured with my shitty old capture card for the Batman LP.
-
forget 3 and just go straight to 4
-
Need to practise my probes and pylons.
-
that’s what she said?
-
That’s right, don’t make me nag you.
-
I think you’ll find that it’s actually Aldaris who nags you about that.
(*Points at self* NEEEERRRRDDDDDDDD!)
-
-
-
-
Are you Taunting me?
-
Yes.
-
Melbournes! I need your peoples to organise something for me to do with you guys around lunchtime on Sunday October 2nd. Please.
-
ZOMG THE STRANGE IS COMING!!!!
-
Do the safety dance?
-
I gave her a \o/ on twitter, does that count?
-
iamokaywiththis.png
-
-
-
The official Strange Australian Tour! Canberra, then Melbourne… Where else are you visiting?
-
If I’m free that sounds loveurly
-
Hahah whoops.
-
-
I would try and help organise something, but I’ve been working ever since I replied to you on Twitter. Too much work to do this week… 😐
Morning everyone! How was everyone’s weekend? I spent all day Saturday waiting for the Telstra guy to come install my phoneline and he never came! Didn’t even call me to let me know, I rang twice during the day to confirm he was still coming and apparently he was, but he never did! So pissed off, it’s delaying my internet re-connection 🙁
Saturday night, my girlfriend and I had a couple who are good friends of ours over for dinner and to check out the new place. Good news is they loved it! Liam (the male of the couple) and I got incredibly drunk, tried and failed to play some Co-op Portal 2 (really hard to think through a puzzle when you’re wasted) and then played the board game Taboo for about 2 and a half hours. So much fun. Because it was so much fun, I decided to get onto the net with my phone and order Pictionary, regretted this the next morning but it’s too late now!
Then spent all day yesterday doing domestic things, got the last of our stuff unpacked, got some new furniture and then cooked for my sister and her boyfriend as they came round to check out the new place.
tl;dr Telstra are f**kheads.
-
This one time I rang Optus about a dodgey connection, and the guy came at 10 AM (operator said between 9-12), and fixed it up real quick.
I was amazed.-
Wish I got service like that..
-
-
What is with these guys and always failing to turn up on time?!
-
I don’t know, but it happens every time I need a line connected, no matter where I’m living. Bloody Telstra and their monopoly on the phone line..
-
-
I think it extends to pretty much all phone companies
-
Probably, but is a phone call too much to ask for if you’re not going to make it? Then I could have gone out and done things I wanted to get done during the day.

Funny enough for you? 😛
-
Hahaha that was good 😛
And I do find your jokes amusing, they’re just made all the more amusing by how chuffed you are with yourself when you make them 😛
-
I just want to be noticed… ._.
-
/me claps hand on Dr What’s shoulder consolingly
-
-
-
I have custom trackpad gestures on my laptop. Useful things too, except when I do it wrong.
Three finger tip tap left = refresh current tab (cmd + r)
Three finger tip tap right = close current tab (cmd + t)
I keep doing it the other way around.
And yes, “three finger tip tap” makes sense. It means you have two fingers down and then tap with the third. If the third is to the left of the other two, it’s tip tap left, if it’s to the right, it’s tip tap right.
I didn’t make the name up!
-
I would get so confused with that.
-
You could just use they keyboard.
-
That would involve moving my hand away from the trackpad.
Don’t you see my conundrum?
-
See that just makes me wonder what your left hand is doing if it’s not on the keyboard….
-
Either hand can operate the trackpad.
The other can be used to drink tea or do coin tricks.
Multitasking. I does it.
-
-
-
I think that I can relate to that.
-
Haha I do that all the time.

Morning crew, I’m going to be throwing off the shackles of my iphone and embracing the joy of android. Has anyone had anything good or bad to say about the htc salsa or the samsung galaxy s 2?
-
Salsa is a girls phone? lol
I picked up the HTC Desire HD just a few weeks ago and it’s BRILLIANT in more ways than i could have ever imagined.
I have heard many good things about the S2, howver, although it is VERY plasticy and feels a little flimsy to me, which is why i went with the much heftier and hardier Desire HD
-
HEY CHULOOPA, HIGH FIVE!!!!
I’ve got a HTC Desire HD too and I’m loving it. Much,much,much,much,much,much,much,much … much …
…
…
much
…
better then an iphone. -
You like the HD? My work colleague has one and he’s not very happy with it. It won’t even last a full day and night on charge, he has to charge it at work if he still wants to be able to use it when he gets home..and he said it really slowed down after only putting about 10 apps on there..
-
i’ve got like 20 aps… and it’s fine…lol
My battery lasts only 2-3 days max.. my partner has one too but hers only lasts on day, but she gets a full day out of it and uses it regularly…
strange
-
Hmmm…maybe his is a dud then. He texts occasionally and sometimes get’s a phone call but that’s all the use it gets while he’s at work, yet by the time he gets home, if he hasn’t charged it during the day, the battery is already dead. But according to online reviews, it’s a fairly common issue with the phone. But other than his, I’ve had no personal experience with the phone, I’m sure it’s good though..
-
-
-
-
Not too sure about the Salsa, but a couple of my friends have the Galaxy S II and they love it. I’ve read good reviews about it as well.
-
Did you get your name off an electric hammer?
-
I’m using the SGSII and it’s one of the best Android phones on the market right now.
Get it!! For a proper review:
http://ausdroid.net/2011/05/23/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/: )
Yay for performance evaluations based on arbitrary numbers that can be assigned to one decimal point! So boring. Even more boring was the guy from uni who came to assess us.
Thanks for the noms and kudos last week guys!
-
Welcome! 😀
Can anyone confirm if Starfox 3D had been released yet?
On the 3DS store yesterday it said it is available now. But the Nintendo website says 15th.
-
It’s out in the US, Europe, Japan, but not Australia, so unless someone breaks the release date, you’ll have to wait until the fifteenth.
-
Lylat Wars? This week?! AWESOME!
-
LYLAT WARS?
THIS WEEK?-
THIS WEEK!
-
-
-
So after 40mins on the phone with Telstra, they told me that the next available appointment is between 1 and 5pm on Saturday. So I have to wait another whole week before I can even apply to have the internet connected. This is bullshit, they weren’t even very apologetic that no one had even called me to let me know they couldn’t make it. If the company I work for had stuffed up that badly, they would be making concessions for the customer, giving some form of discount or something but they refuse to waiver on anything.
-
Did you press them on it?
They were meant to show up, they didn’t and now you have to wait another week. If they aren’t giving you anything for that inconvenience, pester them until they do.
If the person you’re talking to says there’s nothing they can do, demand to speak to someone who can do something about it.
Bribe them with food if you must. Who knows, maybe that’s their weakness.
-
I pestered them and asked to speak with their supervisor and/or manager. The lady I was speaking to said they were both off sick today so I’d have to call another day. I hung up in disgust.
-
Customer service.
Somehow, I don’t think they understand the meaning of the words.
-
They really don’t. I hate having to go through them, I’ve dealt with them on behalf of customer’s so much and they’re actually the worst company.
-
-
Then you ask to speak to the manager of the person who has gone home sick.
-
Yeah I probably should have, I just really can’t be bothered waiting another 30mins to get through to someone..
-
-
-
-
PROTEST
power to the people!
plus I’ve always wanted to throw a molotov cocktail
-
Actually..so have I. It would be a lot of fun 😛
-
-
Stupid Telstra. Never known anyone who’s had a good experience with them.
-
Neither, unfortunately I don’t have a choice. iiNet who I usually go with is too expensive for the cap I need, so I’m going to go with either TPG or Exetel as they both have well-priced plans and I’ve heard good things about their customer service. But, they both require a phone line to already be connected, so my only choice is with Telstra.
-
-
Tis cause they know you have no choice.
Have you paid yet? I wonder if that consumer law would cover this sort of thing – paid for a service and it was not delivered as stated.-
Nar, I don’t get the invoice until the work’s been completed..
-
Played some delightful games of LoL on the weekend.
Personal highlight was holding our turret alone against four of the enemy; before they got it down to half health I had killed two of them and the others ran away with less than a third HP each.
Of course I then stupidly tried to chase and got a beatdown but thats not the point.
Anyway, fun times.
And Crabjiffy kicked so much arse.
-
And I was playing so badly over the weekend.
SO BAD. Thank god you guys were there to not suck.
-
Eh you get that.
I did terrible last night with Bish And Rocketman. I had over 800 latency for some reason so I would go to last hit a minion and find myself all alone in the middle of the lane getting punched in the face as Morgana turret hugged crying “WHYYYYYY????!”-
I did terrible with Jo and Rocketman last night.
Mostly just because I’m a terrible player.
😀
-
-
-
I was going to be able to rejoin you guys by the end of the week, but now it will be next weekend at the earliest, probably the week after :/
-
My personal highlight was being the worst player on the team 15 times in a row. STEVE HOLT /0\
-
Also i like malphite but seeing this guy pwn with him last night made me think i may be the worst LOL player since numbers.
-
No he owned because I fed him early game and he had Soraka constantly healing him.
Last time I used Malphite I failed hard so there must be a trick to it.-
We should have screenshot his build. His skills are fairly straight forward, slows, attack, ultimate thingy. The dude himself could really take damage though. Maybe he just had a tonne of armour/resistance/health from items.
-
-
-
Were you playing with Numbers in any of those matches?
-
yeah one or two. He is bad but not as bad as me. I try to stay positive but i am only getting like one kill at max. I don’t know how to maintain the right distace.
-
It takes a little while, just ask Techie or Jo how bad I was when I first started. It helps if you read the guides on the website, gives you ideas on strategies, etc. Also helps to look at that week’s rotation on heroes. If you go to the learning centre, there is information on all the characters, as well as the general information, there are tips down the bottom which give you tips on how to use the character but can also tell you what their weaknesses are if you happen to go against them. Just keep at it, you’ll get better with time, when I get the internet back, we’ll play some games together, I’m closer to your level.
-
Some tips:
Play afraid, don’t try to kill them in lane just survive.
Don’t auto attack the minions, just try to get the last hit.Here is a good vid on the idea of zoning:
-
Also, choose your character wisely to suit how you play.
I think the problem numbers has is that he only plays Ashe and is not good with her. Carries are hard to play so don’t use them until you get everything else down pat.For ranged use a mage – they can fling out a spell and then run back.
Or someone like Miss Fortune with her Make it Rain – good zone control.For melee use someone that has survivability like a heal and a ranged attack to harass and keep people from being too aggressive to you. Tarric or Gangplank would be a good choice.
-
-
-
-
I didn’t play with you guys but I went ~15/0/16 with Malzahar a few games. Now I want to play with you guys again.
-
That’s pretty darn good. Against bots or peeps?
And when will you next be on?-
Peeps IIRC but it’s all a blur so it may have just been boring old bots. I’ll be on from tomorrow arvo, hopefully. Just pending this damn headache going away.
-
-
-
I played some interesting games.
An hour long 3 vs 3 with friends where I was getting constantly ganked as Morgana.
Then the one with Blaghs and Rocketman where I used Morgana against Beginner bots. Ended up getting the most kills by a reasonable amount and had three Rabadon’s. Why? Because I could.
-
Man we played one game last week where I ended up with three Rabadons and the enemy Brand finished with four.
Crazy game.
-
-
To those who were on the team who vs’d me and the boys on the weekend – good game. It was literally the first game vs people for 2 of the guys plus myself, so I’m pretty proud of how we did.
Crabjiffy and Tech Knight performed admirably. Let us meet on the battlefield again when we have learnt more about this ‘League of Legends’.
-
No praise for how I played?
I mean, ignoring the fact that I didn’t play in that game.
…I like being appreciated. 🙁
-
I missed out because I was busy murdering zombies, so I demand a rematch that I can take part in.
And a game of SC2. Please, let me beat you at a single game once in my life.
-
Indeed, that was pretty fun.
-
Just a little comment on the game.(Maybe not so little!) The game was a really good one! Harli’s team probably is probably more skilled than we are!
The only problem with their team is they are not familiar with LoL, mostly on champions, skills and neutral creeps.
On Champions, ganking me(amumu) and numbers(ashe) early game is a good decision, cause we are on a dual lane and our level is lower than the others, but later in the game, as a tank, Amumu is not who you want to focus on. Late game i can see quite a bit of focus on me, and you guys were not able to kill me as i protect my team.
On the skill sides of things, Nunu from your team is not performing his ult right, his ult is suppose to channel for a while and then deal a huge amount of damage, instead Nunu did not allow his ult to channel and moved/ attacked right after he cast his ult.
On the neutral creeps, there are buff in the forest, just like runes(?) from HoN that spawns from time to time in the river, buff spawns in two spot(2 on each sides) in the form of monster and will give advantage to the person who kills such monsters. Also, early game Harli’s team have more kills than we do and more tower take downs, so technically they should have more gold. But in the forest there is another two monsters that will give gold to the whole team when killed: dragon and baron. Dragon is worth 2 champion kills and baron is even more, but dont attempt to kill these two unless your champion has leveled enough to do so!
Needless to say, it was a awesome and fun game to be in! I really enjoyed it and hopefully your team will own us next time we met!!!
-
Wow thanks so much for the feedback bawble!/CrabJiffy!
You are damn good at LoL. We were having trouble downing you indeed – you should have heard them on vent.
“DAMN AMUMU IS SO EFFIN’ TANK!”
I’ve passed the feedback on. Thanks so much 😀
Also, whenever we saw Ashe (who was numbers, who seemed to be a little slower then the rest of you) I was like “GET HIIIIIIIIIIM!!!!” *bashes keyboard* And we would all do our best to gank him. Poor numbers.
-
*sob* That’s so hurtful, Harli. Why would you pick on a fellow newbie, well, not as new, but still sorta new.
-
I’m sorry Numbers but you’re just so soft and cuddly.
-
-
-
You guys seem like you have an awesome time on LoL. You guys should get to level 30 so I can join you all.
If your up for a bot match or something give me a yell on LoL.
-
Jeez level 30! You must be amazing at LoL. Not living up to your name at all ;P
-
Haha, my names more of a joke on gaming terms :P. I just started playing (on and off) the game when it was released.
Add me Harli and anyone else! I’m usually up for a game it’s just if you group with me it will most likely match us with level 30’s 🙁
P.S. Summoner name is NooBHeadshoT
-
-
You just destroyed my dream of being the first person who gets to lv30 in TAY! I HATE YOU!!!
lol
P.S. I am lv24 and i will add you later
Wow, thank you, I am flattered!
It is so much fun playing with you guys. our team co-ordination through teamspeak is just awesome!
Harli – Check back on page 1!
-
IT’S A TRAP!
-
IT’S A TARP!!1
-
It’s a trick.
Get an axe.

YESSSSSSSS!!!

CHECKED
will send email off sometime today 😀 thanks Wellybotty
so Katsuhiro Harada said my Tekken sketch was cool on twitter
I am sooooo fanboying out right now!
-
That’s pretty awesome.
-
That’s damn awesome.
-
Super awesome! I’m so geeking out.
I will print and frame that tweet.

-
Well High-to-the-motherflippin-five to you buddy!
That’s awesome!-

Hello. I am bored.
Entertain me?
-
I am also bored, and wanting to be entertained. I’m waiting for my mother to call me back so I can tell her to put in a good word for me with the Service Team Leader at her workplace so I can get a new job 😛
-
Boy, do I have a story for you!
…Too bad I’ve forgotten it.
Yesterday I was all like “Oh man that is ridiculous, I should retell these events on Kotaku for humourous effect” but now I can’t remember it (It’s not the racist one I told on TS last night either) so yeahhhhhhhhhh, I guess maybe imagine that I told an almost decently entertaining story?-
That was a riveting tale!
-
I tell the best stories.
Apart from Plainview.
And Dan.
And Tracey.
And that other person whose name I forget.
But apart from all those people, plus a few more, best stories.-
You’re right man, you’re so right. I’m stuck in Deus Ex :/ finding it really hard to get past these sweeping lasers on the way to the Data centrey thingy..
-
If you’re where I think you are:
Vents.
They solve all.
Hint hint.
That said, there was this one room in the game that had alarms and stuff plastered all over it, and I couldn’t find a security center or a panel to hack and disable it.
The existence and contents of this room haunt me to this day. My Jensen will never know. And that is the worst fate you could ever inflict on a hoarding explorer. What if there was a sub quest? What if there was XP? What if there was an energy bar? Man, I don’t even care if there’s a single machine pistol bullet in there, I need to know. But never will.
;_; -
Hmmm I haven’t seen any vents, and I have to stick to cover as there are these moving lasers so I can only move from crate to crate..
-
Maybe the uh, heavy lifting aug might help.
Alternatively, F5 quick saves, and F8 (IIRC) ‘quick’ loads.
First time I ran through there I F5’ed every time I manage to sneak to another crate undetected. Sure, it took like half an hour to do, but wooo, progress! -
Yeah I’ve been doing that, will just have to keep doing it I guess. I don’t have any EMP grenades is the problem..I can take out the guys easily enough when they come out, but that robot gets me every single time 🙁
-
I think the cloaking aug lets you walk right on through? I don’t think I ever tried with lasers or cameras, but the trailers made it look like it would make you invisible both visually and electronically.
Maybe if you have a spare few praxis points that might help. -
Yeah I don’t :/ I use them all pretty much straight away, but isn’t it just if an object passes through the laser? So then even if you were invisible, the laser would still get you..
-
The cloaking aug lets you go through them. I’m pretty sure it says that somewhere in the thing. It’s the only way I made it through some sections.
-
Well now, seems like I need to somehow get 2 praxis points to activate it :/
-
Well, the aug explanation is something along the lines of “Glass cloaking system something”, which I got the impression kind of made lasers pass right through you. As I said, I haven’t tried it m’self, and either way it’s a moot point if you have no praxis points.
Also, “I use [Praxis Points] all pretty much straight away”: that’ll teach you for not hoarding them. -
Probably will…I stuffed up my augs so much. Can’t wait for my second playthrough now that I actually know what I’m doing..
-
My second playthrough involves MURDERING EVERYONE!
And as a secondary point, you can still recover a fair amount, as I finished the game with like 12 spare Praxis points and every ability I actually wanted.
-
-
-
needs more dragon
I sure could go for a riveting story right now. Perhaps Tracey will tell us the story of why the picture in TAY is so big this week. Or someone could tell us the story of how their life got flipped-turned upside down, and would like to take a minute so I can sit right here, to tell us how they became a prince of bel air.
i’m not black or breasted enough to do either of those 🙁
I have made toasted ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch…
Now i know how god must have felt when he created the earth, and all that stuff about him being totes real..
I bet it NEVER smelt this good, though
-
I was left home (everyone was awake and gone BEFORE 10:00 on a Saturday, I didn’t even know there was a before 10 on a weekend) and I had no bread.
You know whats sad when 99% of everything you can make requires bread, luckily it was easy mac to the rescue as I am way too lazy to actually drive to the shops 5 mins from my house.
G’day everyone. Haven’t been here in a while, it’s been too hard to keep up at how quick TAY grows each week or so…
I’m with TPG at the moment, and the Netcomm NB5+4W modem router I have is probably not going to last much longer, so I’m looking for potential replacements, preferably under $200, has 802.11n, and doesn’t require me to modify DNS settings just so it damn works with Windows Update (Vista/7). Must work with TPG.
Thanks in advance!
(I’ll probably try asking the Whirlpool forums afterwards)
On a gaming note…
Thanks to Steam, my pile of shame is going to take far too long to cut through.
-
Also, why was last week’s TAY pic tiny and also from the Monkey Island Special Edition?
-
Well, there’s a pretty cool story behind that, and I quote:
“Here’s what happened:
1. Went into Kotaku media gallery
2. Searched “Talk amongst yourselves”
3. Search returned nothing
4. Searched “Monkey”
5. Search returned picture of a monkey and the above image
6. Used above image instead of picture of an Actual MonkeyCOOL STORY TRACEY.”
-
BAH
-
Golden.
God.
-
Question: What does this mean?
Do you shower in urine for a healthy yellow lustre or something? -

Netgear have a wireless N modem router for about $149 I’m pretty sure. It works well and is sold at most places that sell modems..
I still haven’t really made the effort to venture outside of the comfort that is my bed.
Laptops are simply too great a convenience.
-
This is why having a computer at the end of my bed is good. I have to “get up” to get to it, but then I can just sit in a blanket without doing anything, and pretend that I’ve achieved at least a small something.
-
Well, I made the effort to go downstairs, make some tea and toast.
Have a shower.
It’s just that after doing something, I have to make the decision to get up properly or return to bed. Returning to bed seems to be a consistent winner.
-
You achieved movement, that’s something.
-
-
‘Ah clean mahself with a rag on a stick

WASH!

-
Your laptop doesn’t have a fan at the bottom of the case, right?
-
i know that feeling and my grandparents get all worried they aren’t getting any offspring from me because of it. They may be right but not for those reasons.
-
So i am in some what of a rut lately. I need suggestions to keep me not bored on weekends. I can only play games for so long before i find it tedious. Thoughts??
-
Maybe you should randomly fly down to Canberra one weekend in the hopes of meeting some people or something.
-
NAh that seems a bit out of the way and can you imagine the expense. You would have to be crazy to fly down to meet a bunch of people you have never met in real life before a absolute lunatic. BTW i am very excited for the meat.
-
Please, for my sake, curb your excitement. It looks like I’ll be getting you to my house via bus. BUS! And by that I mean like 3 buses. You will be so disappointed once you actually meet us…
-
/shoves Blaghman out of the way
Ignore what he said 😀 GET EXCITED ROCKETMAN!
-
OMG BUS…
THat is so exciting i get to take canberran public transport. Imagine the conversations we will have. The two absolute worst story tellers ever. I can imagine the conversation.Rocketman: Hey dude how is it going
Blaghman: Yeah good how was your trip.
Rocketman: Yeah good.
AWKWARD SILENCE
Blaghman: Hey look $10 sweet. -
When are you coming in Rocketman? Cause I do have a car, and generally have spare time too.
-
it’s like 10- 11 on Saturday i am not sure which. That’s really nice of you to offer dude. Man everyone here is awesome.
-
Hit me with an email when you confirm the deets. Anything to avoid our buses.
ryanmchalker(at)gmail(dot)com
-
Thanks dude then we can rock up at blagh’s house together and be like we are here and he will be like who is that awesome dude standing next to Rocketman.

I once watched Curb Your Enthusiasm. I just don’t find that guy’s shows funny.

You and me both, man.

I want to +1 this comment. Couldn’t even make it through the first ep.
-
Wait… that was supposed to be a comedy?
Go outside and play in the sun!
Actually I spent a fair amount of my Saturday morning outside chopping trees down (our front yard is a bit overgrown). It’s very therapeutic and you end up with a good burn in your arms afterwards. You should give it go.
-
Sir Chops-a-lot?
-
Probably just a weekly flare-up of Paul Bunyan Disease.
-
I hate these woods…
-
Dr McNinja!
-
-
Wow you guys have backyards in sydney. BLIND MOWN
-
-
It’s funny that you mention that on Saturday morning i spent time fixing a golf buggy and on Sunday i did some manly gardening and re-potting flowers and manly stuff. The i mowed the lawn. However it’s a bit different being in the sun for me. As a child of north qld even the most indoor’s people go outside quite regularly. It’s just the way things are.
-
Gnawwwwwwww Rocketman! You’re so cuuuuuuuuuute
-
I am not cute. The more you say it the more temptation for me to believe you are high! I am just saying how it is i have to do these things because i live with old people and i have a little mechanical knowledge. My grandmother in return makes me dinner washes my clothes and is very lovely. I think it is a fair deal myself.
-
Can’t you see it now? She turns up at my house, walks in the door, hops up to, pinches your cheek and says “OH my god you’re so CUTE!” Before ruffling your hair.
-
God i hope not that might remind me of every day after work.
-
MWA HA HA HA!
-
-
My great respect for you will increase another tenfold if you say that you were chopping said trees with your fists.
-
Haha. Tempting as it was, I didn’t want to end up with a crater of destruction. My neighbours wouldn’t have been too pleased. =/
-
A herring would also have sufficed.
-
I love eating fish!
-
-
FALCONNNNN PUNCH!
Who wants free stuff?
I have two copies of Terraria to gift on steam to whoever wants them. Let me know if you’re interested and it’s yours.
-
Oooh, me me me me me me!
…
…
Oh wait, I’ve already got Terraria…
😛-
Yeah, I’m late to the Terraria party. I’m hoping someone hasn’t picked it up yet.
-
I’m making a Terrarium this week, so you’re late to the Terraria party I’M late to the Terrarium party, we can catch each others tears!
-
We can use them to water your Terrarium!
-
-
-
-
Oh me me me. I’m in the Kotaku steam group. Name is jamesmag, or maybe jmm2000. I don’t have internet at home so can’t check :/
-
You’re jamesmag (hurr hurr but I already knew that hurr). THE ALL SEEING EYE TO THE RESCUE!
-
Haha thanks man!
-
-
Someone doesn’t have it! Great success! I’ll gift it when I get home.
-
Thanks dude! You’re awesome! 😀
-
-
I dare say that elements of this BluRay cover may have been photoshopped inexpertly.
-
nah man that’s how Bruce Willis normally looks. Especially in a action movie.
-
Bahahaha. What? How did anyone agree to that? It’s almost as bad as the cover of Cosmo!
-
i haven’t laughed so hard since we were browsing cosmo’s website. I was in tears. So funny stuff.
-
-
Fiddy’s beard, def air brushing.
-
woah woah woah woah woah WOAH!
They’re letting 50 cent ACT now!>??!
-
Hey they let Billy ray Cyrus act why not 50Cent
-
Hey all, hope we all had a good weekend. I went nuts with shopping, getting about 7 new games on PC, including Space Marine and Deus Ex: HR.
I’m just letting you all know, I am still functioning, however I am on training all week so my commenting power will be quite reduced compared to how often I comment usually. I will post all the great screenshots of our LoL team victories, including us winning in a 4v5 scenario, 3 of us and 1 random (Who did play a good master Yi) vs 5 of them!
So to all humans here… and welbot: Be nice to one another and see you guys on TeamSpeak 🙂
-
Would one of those games happen to be NFS:HP? 😀
-
i bought NFS HP but its like a 7 gig download. I will have to bring my laptop to work to download it 🙁
-
I searched for it but couldn’t find it, sorry lamboman, I might try and steam d/l it later this month though
-
-
WOOO SPACE MARINE!!!
-
Hi Techy! Let’s play sometime this week 🙂
-
You’re on! Would love to get to know your team as well btw 🙂
-
haha. They’re pretty good blokes! Really enjoyed playing with you guys too.
-
-
So i have the wombats CD this modern glitch in my car pretty much just on repeat forever. I really do love that album. But im kinda wearing it out. Any more awesome sing along car songs. BTW i sing in my car, what of it? If i sing in public people hit me. So any suggestions??
-
Hey there you with the sad face, come up to my place, and live it up!
I bless the rains down in Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-fricaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
-
I do love me some Toto.
-
I will make you a mix CD!
It’ll be like we’re kids in the 80s, with me attempting to court you and pursue a relationship, initiating with impressing you with my superior taste in music!
Man, the 80s must have been the most amazing time to date.-
-
You’re so romantic bish!
(in the most MANLY way possible i mean this)
But i love 80’s music so many good songs!
-
-
-
-
Musical Theatre!
Avenue Q, Wicked, Spammalot, Mulan, The Lion King(Stage version), Beauty and the Beast(also the stage version), and uhh, yeah. That should just about do it.(Other Disney Musicals are also good, but those are the ones I like singing to the most)
-
You read me like a book Mr. Blaghman. where else on the internet do we find people who like killing zombies and musical theater. I will try and secure a Disney album on itunes tonight.
-
I also enjoy musical theatre 🙂
-
-
I don’t know if you realise, but Avenue Q is actually starting this week in Canberra.
https://www.patronbase.com/_CRS/Productions/AQ11/Performances
-
I forgot about that. I think a friend of mine might potentially be dong something backstage or something… Maybe I should go see that…
-
I assume you’ve seen it before? If not, definitely go. I went last time it was here and it was so fantastic.
-
I saw it last time too. ‘Twas great.
-
-
-
Great album, I had it for months just on repeat. And yeah, I also sing in the car, good times.
As for albums, Making Mirrors – Gotye is my current favourite. Speaking of Gotye, Like Drawing Blood is also amazing. Wasting Light – Foo Fighters is pretty damn good also.
-
Wow dude you have a awesome taste in music i just downloaded gotye’s album before i went on holiday. Pretty amazing. As for foo fighter’s i think they are okay but i am not a big fan. I do like their fairly old albums thou.
-
Also, if you haven’t, check out the Wombats’ first album. A lot less synth-heavy, but still very good.
I’m straining to think of some more stuff, The Jezabels are damn good, they have a few EPs out and a new album due either this week or next. It’s actually the feature album on Triple J this week.
-
Yeah love the jezabels fairly sweet stuff. MAce spray is a great song and so is endless summer.
-
-
Then you’ll lose your shit for Wasting Light.
Sounds like old Foo Fighters ‘cept better.
-
The Hives.
Any of their albums.
They will be your new God.
-
I have heard a little of the hives not that much but im sure a man of impeckable taste like yourself would like good music.
-
Don’t do it! You will want to stick a screwdriver in your ears just to make it stop!
-
Anything from Gilbert and Sullivan.
Ah, there is nothing like singing “Three little maids from school are we” at the top of your lungs.
-
Is that The Mikado? Probably very wrong here…
-
No, very right you are.
-
That musical is awesome. John English is a god.
-
And when I say John English, I mean Jon English 😛
-
-
Hurray, I only posted twice in last week’s TAY. CrabJiffy beat me by a lot! He’s been LOLing nearly every day. I started working on Friday and am really tired after the grand opening yesterday. It was truly an ICE CREAM PARTY. My colleagues all seem quite nice and friendly. : )
Still thinking if I missed anything…
-
I probably should elaborate on the partay part. My right ear is still recovering from the booming music last night. Yes, they hired two DJs to entertain everyone while we handed out free ice-cream.
-
Pretty disappointed that there was free ice cream and I was not invited.
-
I doubt you would have travelled all the way to uni just for ice cream… but maybe you would have.
I’m sorry /_\-
Of course Bish would have travelled any distance for free ice cream.
-
-
-
-
he is quite awesome at LOL. Also yay for ice cream party job. What you want to do now is ask for free coffee. Imagine the savings in money you will have.
-
We do serve coffee in the shop too! @v@
Hehehehehe. -
please do not spoil me with your compliments, I still have a long way to go!
-
So I just got a phone call from Big W. They apparently ran out of stock for Dead Island and now my order is cancelled. I can apparently get it for the same price at a later date, but that’s not until October.
Not cool, Big W.
-
Don’t say that, I just missed a call on my phone with an “unknown number”. 🙁 I have a bad feeling …
-
Yeah, it was a blocked number. I’d be prepared for disappoint.
-
RAWRRR!!!!!!!!
ANGRY CAPS TEXT / ANGRY FACE ACTIVATE
D:<
-
-
Oh bull droppings, same story here.
By the icy halls of hell, these guys are friggin useless.
They have this as part of their 7 day Bargain, which they managed to stuff up from the begining, and now this.
Clubby the Clubbing Club is getting violent feelings.
Not me.
The club.
And you are all witness to this if it goes to trial. -
I just missed a call from an unknown number also.
I have some choice words to say right now, but none of them are particularly pleasant, and none should be uttered in a public place.
Question: Why did they take my money if they aren’t able to fulfil orders?
-
-
Doesn’t ordering for something sort of guarantee you’ll end up receiving the product? Hmm…
-
Especially if it was a pre-order.
Grrr!
Grrr I say!
-
-
HAHAHA! So bad, I love it!
-
i liked that so much i am now reading all of them
How Captain America Should Have Ended: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruMO9SXto0Q&feature=related
They do make some rather good points about just how dumb the ending is.
-
Oh, hey page 3, way to give my random post that isn’t all that interesting prominence…
-
So many comic movies i haven’t seen this year. With Thor, Green Lantern, Captain America. I actually want to watch them but i don’t want to go to the cinema. For fear of having to watch Baz Lerhman’s Australia for the 50th time. They trick you into seeing it!
-
Ignore Green Lantern. There, now you’ve just got to see the Marvel ones.
And prepare for disappointment with The Dark Knight Rises next year.
-
Ignore Green Lantern. There, now you’ve just got to see the Marvel ones.
And prepare for disappointment with The Dark Knight Rises next year.
-
Gosh darnit. How does this even happen?
-
No i will not prepare for dissapointment. Anne Hathaway in skin tight clothes riding a bat cycle. HOW CAN YOU THINK THIS MOVIE WILL BE BAD?
-
I don’t think it will be bad. Not at all.
But it won’t live up to The Dark Knight.
It just can’t. The Dark Knight was a perfect storm of timing and execution, which allows it to be remembered for far more than just its performance as a movie.
-
Plus… Heath Ledger.
/swoons
-
I agree i will not live up to the hype but i still think it will be a standout movie. Just sad about the trilogy will be complete. I reckon batman begins and dark knight are one of the best movies i have seen since back to the future.
-
-
-
Good news people who might give a damn!
I got the capture card to recognise my PS3 and did a test recording of meself playing some SPACE MARINE! It’s not perfect, there is some artifacting that I can’t seem to do anything about (although that might be a result of me recording at the wrong resolution, so there’s something that might be able to be done about it).
Can’t get the splitter to work, which is sad but only a minor inconvenience really.
So the next recording of Batman: Arkham Asylum will be happening shortly. And by shortly, I mean at some point in the reasonable future, when I can be bothered.
-
Yay. (said with absolutely no enthusiasm)
-
I try to just grunt with approval now. I think bunny knows we actually care though. If it wasn’t for him it would be filled with silence…..
-
You really need to learn how to do the unenthusiastic cheer properly. It’s an important skill for day to day living, provided you spend most of your day to day life talking to people like me.
-
Haha i will have to work on that sorry bunny. lol
-
-
-
-
Is this the HDMI capture card? Do you plan on uploading a 720p video? Because the hilairous thing will be is that I mainly watch youtube videos in 480p, thus negating all your effort 😛
But then again, I am somewhat Badnwidth conservative, so it’s proabably just me.
-
Unless it’s something I really care about I typically use 360 or 480. CONSERVATIVE!
-
My old card captured at 480p, but in terrible quality. This is now decent quality at 720p (which I know most people won’t bother with but it means that text will be readable at the lower resolutions!).
The important thing is that it’s much better quality. Even if I am still using component cables because of that stupid HDCP nonsense.
-
-
It’s my last one, but here *hands over damn*
Also, woo, Batman Vids, can I be in one?
Hugo, in case my reply gets lost in the previous page. The Mikado was an awesome musical. Jon English is a god.
-
Yes, yes he is.
I ended up seeing him in Pirates, Mikado and Pinafore.
There are no words to describe how awesomely awesome they were to watch.-
Man, now I’m jealous. The best I have is seeing Anthony Warlow reprise his role as the Phantom, and Hugh Jackman playing Gaston in Beauty and the Beast(One of my greatest shames is that I missed out on seeing Tim Curry in Spammalot by less than 2 weeks).
-
Yeah, I got to see Warlow as the Phantom too.
Very happy I managed to see that, I had other members of the family wanting to see it, but they missed out.
Bahahaha, sucks to be them. -
My mum said Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond, so jealous.
-
saw*
-
-
-
Awesome! I’ve only seen the video of The Mikado and Pirates. I haven’t really seen anything big except for Wicked!. Well I’ve seen a production of Les Miserables but it was done by my hometown and most of the singers were terribad.
My uncle played Thenadier in Les Miserable in Perth when they did the massive production a number of years ago. But the tickets were like $180 each so mum couldn’t afford to get me a ticket as well 🙁
-
I was lucky in that my parents are HUGE Gilbert and Sullivan fans, as well as Jon English fans, so when they bought their own tickets, they ended up buying my ticket as well each time. Sweet.
-
Lucky you!
-

-
When I was in High School they made me sing that Three Little Maids song. In public. In costume.
-
I sang the second soprano part of that song in choir for an inter-school music competition ;o Never thought it would be mentioned again in my lifetime!
-
I love you two even more than before thanks to this.
-
Was it the singing in public bit or the singing of showtunes? Because I’ve sang in public quite a lot but only the two showtunes. The other was Tomorrow Belongs To Me from Cabaret.
-
A little from Column A, and a little from Column B.
-
Showtunes were my speciality 😉
But seriously, sang so many in the Eisteddfod. Don’t know if you guys have that over there but it’s basically a talent sort of thing in WA, mainly musically orientated although there are other entries, it’s not televised though. But I’ve done stuff from Les Miserables, Joseph and the Amazing Tehcnicolour Dreamcoat, Chess, West Side Story, etc.
-
I’ve only really sung in public once(There was a year 8 choir performance but that doesn’t really count), and that was simply as a chorus member in Grease… Also my youtube vids, but they don’t count, I haven’t actually sung in anything real.
-
Well I’ve done some band stuff at parties, and the Eisteddfod, that’s about it for real performances from me. And at the Eisteddfod it’s usually just the judges and friends/family of those performing that are watching..
-
I only really sing publicly once a year.
Danny Boy, on St Patrick’s day… in pubs.
-
-
-
I have stopped using twitter. Not really, but I am at 1,998 tweets and I wanted my 2,000th tweet to be speshil..
I asked for ideas and so far my tweet will be about Playing Trials HD while eating bacon.
can someone come up with an awesome tweet, 140 char about Redlynx games and bacon that is worthy? I got nothing?
Also, anyone think of an awesome…. nah, I’ve just decided on the other tweet before the bacon one… Im off to do that one now!
OK, so let me know what my 2,000th tweet should be ok?
-
Troll with it.
Say you have been in a car crash or people have broken into your house and are holding you hostage.-
I second this motion!
-
Tweet about having sex and doing coke with Ricky Nixon.
-
-
-
Bravo.
-
I was wondering how you figure out how many tweets you’ve done before realising it was staring me in the face. And holy crap, I have 250 Tweets already!?
-
You should have seen me during E3, I went from like 40 to 300+ over the course of it. That was a bit crazy.
-
-
Decided to go with my all time fav line from anything relating to anything.. and you can use it at any time.
Movie Villain Medley!

Contains the word ‘boobs’ once or more… watch it to find out why! :p
-
I am a sucker for the word boob’s but i cannot view at work 🙁
-
Ha, that was good.
Man, it would suck to not be able to youtube today…
-
Can you believe they thought it was effecting productivity? I mean gah..
-
No! I can imagine it affecting performance though!
-
-
oh… god… can’t… stop… laughing…
-
“Whoah Whoah Whoah, you shot first!”
“Yeah, why wouldn’t I?”
-
I love it.
-
I love HISHE. Watch the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows one, i think it’s one of their more recent ones.
-
I liked the Toy Story 3 one!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEnVEPaCH8AWhat a twist.
-
I love the Episode 4 one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzoeEdW-EDQ&feature=relmfu
“What will I do know, tell me? Hmm? Go crazy I wil!”
Also, Lord of the Rings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yqVD0swvWU&feature=relmfu
Random post is random.
-
Random comment is even more random.
Okay, the video might be a little longer than normal but the editing is fone for the last Batman video recorded with the old capture card.
So there’s just the whole uploading the YouTube, getting narration, editing audio and then reuploading bit to go before I can start work on the next batch of videos with actually half decent capturing.
Good enough!
-
Does this one have enough time for me to do my awesome idea for an intro thing, hopefully without my sound bugging out this time?
-
This one is a little cutscene heavy. No avoiding it, but if we talk over the first bit of dialogue, sure. No worries.
-
GUUYS!!!!
HOLY SHITT!!!
I MEAN SERIOUSLY – HOLY SHIT!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBBw9E2Q_aY&feature=relmfu
THIS IS HEAVY!
-
Oh Loops, is this the joy of discovering HISHE for the first time? Although, admittedly, that’s a damn awesome one.
-
Like a kid in a candy store
Being followed by a creepy old man.
-
So I finally decided to enter the new decade and get an Android smartphone (Xperia Play). Any suggestions for decent apps/games?
-
MINECRAFT
-
Already have that. It’d be more fun with survival mode, but that would probably fry the phone.
-
Been stuck in an Apple teleconference and webex presentation for the last hour. So. Boring.
-
I have a game for you.
I want you to say “that’s what she said” randomly to things that makes no sense at all.-
It was “listen only” unfortunately :/ just in case she could hear me, I kept blowing my nose very loudly and kept saying to my colleague, “this is really boring”.
-
Oh god new lonely island song.. can’t stop laughing… especially the phone part!
-
I’d like to point out that the song is from like 2009, and that they only uploaded it recently(how much useless trivia do I know, christ?). Still, I do love the phone bit, and the cake bit.
-
awww mannnn
-
Aw man!
I thought it was a new song. 🙁
“Uploaded by thelonelyisland on 25 Jul 2011”Also, I believe it was posted on TAY back then.

-
SO working till 5.30 on a monday sucks. At this rate my early bird special will be neither early nor special. 🙁

I work till 5:30 Monday to Friday. It sucks every day 🙁

*cough*part-timers*cough*
-
-
-
Nor a bird either?
I don’t understand Steam 🙁
I’d love to give you the copy of Terraria Jamesmag, but for whatever reason Steam won’t let me. I guess maybe I’m supposed to be in your friends list as well?
Perhaps I can send it via the email option since you can’t sign in for a while.
-
my email is cruel.deception@hotmail.com 🙂
-
Done!
-
Thanks man 🙂
-
*begins signing Jamesmag up to German fetish mailing lists*

Okay, during my clearout I found 2 (THAT’S RIGHT! TWO!) Star Craft 2 guest passes.
Anyone want them? Feel free to hit me up on steam or twitter or here.
Whatever.
-
PC or Mac?
If it works for both then ME YES PLEASE-
…because I have a mac see.
Don’t judge me
-
StarCraft doesn’t judge. I have some guest passes somewhere too, it doesn’t matter what platform you play on, the key will work.
-
then GREASE ME UP WOMAN!
wait… sign me up. Yes, sign me up.
-
DMed you one on twitter
-
Just hurry up and buy it, tight arse.

THANK YOU BDKIAF! Just got the email! You’re a legend!
I got on LoL to add NooBHeadshoT, and discovered that everybody is on LoL!
And i have got work due tomorrow! As a logical robot, Techy tells me to get my work done before playing, almost fall into the trap of LoL! THANK YOU TECH KNIGHT!!!!!
back to work ARARARARARHHHHHH!!!!!
It’s after midnight…
Why is it so dark and scary in here now?
-
It’s those damned endermen, they’ll do that to a man…
Josephine the turtle arrived at my place at some point yesterday and left this.
Anyone else get anything?
I know Anonymous Pessimist got his arcade stick for the 360.
He’s also looking for a good home for it as he doesn’t have a 360 and would like it to go to a Taybie.
My Sonic statue is going NOWHERE! So keep yer mitts off!
Also, not sure if the picture really does it justice. But it’s big. Like, really big. And heavy.
-
I’m still waiting for my 2 Kudos prizes to come – but i’m patient like that
And an arcade stick you say…. oooooo… nice!
Maybe when my prizes come i might be able to swap him if it’s anything useful to him and not to me…
Also epic sonic statue is epic
-
Sonic wants to be NUMBA 1
-
Someone on Twitter was looking for one for 360 last night.
-
Still waiting on Madman pack for reader review.
So had a awesome 5v5 LOL game with Kotaku peeps. It was really really fun. The teams where Myself,Bish, Stevo, Jo, Trjn
Vs Techy, Pyrean, Numbers, Blaghman, F4ction
Our team one about a hour into it but everyone played really well and nobody really feed. These games are so much more enjoyable than playing with random people just from the fun you get from discussing it after and no one holds a grudge.
-
Poor Techy, we just focused the hell out of him every time. Don’t feel too bad, it was because we know what you can do if we didn’t.
And F4action those bombs of yours were so annoying when we were laning.
-
Damned space lasers.
Still, I had fun dropping shields on myself whenever I saw that coming.
Janna has an amazing amount of ways to get people to stop killing her.
-
You never even gave me a chance to go into team engagements, as soon as I showed my ninja cat ears from the brush, all 5 of you turn on me and bash me around like a little furry beachball 🙁
You guys made me feel useless on my team
-
-
You mean nobody fed except me… So annoyed, I played so badly.
-
I’m sorry!
/o\-
You’re not sorry, Bish, but that’s okay. I have no-one to blame but myself. And Steve-o with his Deeemmaaaaccciiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
-
Well, I didn’t explain it much last night because everyone else was talking, so here’s what was going on:
The plan, as you’d suspect, was to target Numbers, because of his squish factor. The problem was, with me and Rocketman both being melee, the best plan was for me to Flash in, stun, and knock him towards our tower/towards Rocketman. Except everytime I got within flash range, he’d head back to where I couldn’t reach him without over extending, so me and Rocketman just kind of derped around for a while. What Rocketman could do however, was throw his spinny rock thing, and the only person in range of that was you, so he just kept on doing that. I think two times we must have just caught you without heal potions, because you were at about 33% health, but still melee’ing creeps, I was was just like “…Well, might as well harass him”, and I didn’t expect my stun and knockback to take off that much health.
One other time you and Numbers were chasing me, except I had my damage taken reducing ultimate up and was just slowly running away. You tower dived me with your earthquake, but I must have not been dying quick enough, because the turret started slamming you.
I would like to say that some of things I did last night were amazing examples of skill, but that would be an outright lie. -
Your amazing recount makes me wish all the more that I was there.
-
Yeah… Health pots… About that… I was just kinda hoping my regen rate would protect me.
It didn’t.
-
Also, with that throwy roller boulder thing, I got in a mindset really early on where it was doing bugger all damage, and I’d regen the health in about 10 seconds, so at about level 5ish it was doing more, but my brain wasn’t registering it, so I was all “herp derp herpity derp.” Man I suck at tanking. I should have gone Galio and just stolen all the kills.
-
The trick to laning with Rammus is turret hugging.
You get slammed by harassment so just let them push and try to get a few last hits in under your tower while you have DBC on and taunt them in if they get too close.
-
-
-
My guess is Kennen, Ashe, Rammus, Garen, Janna, Alistar, Malphite.
Who else was there?
Space Marine is awesome.
But multiplayer NEEDS a local search function.
SO many games had me as the only Aussie in the room 🙁
-
Yeah roy! 😀
Anyone interested in buy my old 8800gtx card? Perfect working order! Make me an offer!!
-

If I ignore this whole Big W-Dead Island fiasco it will all go away and I’ll get my game right, right?
-
That sounds about right to me 😛
-
We can but dream.
Got 1 unknown caller, didn’t leave a message and my order is still “Being Processed”. -
That’s pretty sound logic to me
i think i’m going to cry – it’s so beautiful…
-
That was deep, man.
-
Seems odd he missed Crystal, Emerald and Platinum.
Just saying.
So I’m changing my mobile service provider today as I have found that Vodafone is complete rubbish.
Anyone in Brissy have any suggestions / experiences with other companies and how good the coverage for calls/internet browsing is for said company?
-
Just switched from 3 (same problems as Vodafone) to TPG. Pay $19 a month for a decent amount of calls and 1gb of downloads.
Works on the Optus network.
If that’s not enough, Amaysim has a ~$40 “unlimited” plan with 4gb downloads and unlimited calls/texts to non 1300/1800 numbers (so calls to mobiles, landlines etc).
I’d say one of them would be the best value, although obviously best coverage goes to Telstra.
-
Telstra has the worst coverage if you go to the ski slopes. Optus is typically the best there. Not that that affects most people, but I though I should point it out.

I heard moving to Sydney helps!
-
I heard quite the opposite.
-
Garrus you sexy thang, come here you.
-
Can it wait for a bit? I’m in the middle of some calibrations…
-
Nice.
-
Agree, well played.
-
-
Crushes me every damn time.

But he has… like… mandibles. And an exoskeleton.

you know what that means, don’t you?
Always hard
ohhh yeaahhhh

HAHAHAJA!

This is how I imagine the Germans laughing.
-
If they laughed.

So TAY, I’m Back! Did you miss me?
*sound of crickets chirping*
Oh you’re all too kind! Holiday was awesome. Camped literally 10m from the beach. Convinced some tourists that thongs were actually invented by aboriginals to aid in travel and hunting (hence why we have thong-throwing contests on Australia day) and consumed an unhealthy amount of Toohey’s Old Ale, fulfilling my obligated role of ‘awkward drunken relative’ at the wedding (Note – the worm and the puppet are not appropriate dance moves for the bridal waltz).
Anyway great to be back – got an epic game of LoL 5v5 with the teamspeak peeps last night. Was quite enjoyable, even though I was getting pounded by damn space lazors.
Also got 25 kills – FOR DEMACIA! (ಠ益ಠ)
So what did I miss?
tl;dr – Steve-O missed you all.
-
Were those tourists American by any chance? 😀
-
Yep. They waz’ Texas born ‘n’ bred.
Was talking to them at a bar. Bartender overheard me and joined the conversation. Thought she was going to rat me out but she joined in on it. Think the tourists were going to go shopping this week for some thongs with aboriginal art on them. XD
-
-
We missed you too SteveO!! Sounds like you had the usual jelly-inducing holiday. Wobble wobble.
I started LoL while you were out. Lets get a game in sometime.
-
Naww thanks Harli. How you going with LoL anyway? Would be great to have a game – I’ll show you how to hide in a bush like a pro 😛
-
Is that a euphemism?
-
no that is his strategy. He hides in the bush the shouts. DEMACIA and swings his sword around like a pro.
-
Was THAT a euphemism?
-
HA!
-
-
Oh Rocketman. I am well aware of that.
-
-
“They’re targeting us with lasers! From space!”
“Engage shields at full power!”
“Aye aye, captain!”
“I meant on me, you fool!”
“You can’t punish me for incompetence. You’re dead and I’m still alive.”
WELCOME BACK!!! WOOOO!!! PARTY!!~ BUY SPACE MARINE!!!!
*ahem*
Yeah stevo is back. Also thanks for the invite to the LAN. Sorry i can’t make it.
-
Ah it’s alright dude. Think a few of the regulars are missing this weekend anyway so won’t be a huge one. Should have a big one later on this month though.
-
i will be in Canberra next weekend. But i am pretty much always free after that so count me in. I am interested to meet you and your mates they seem like my kind of people. By that i mean drunk lol.
-
I hope you warned them about the dropbears.
-
And the hoop snakes.
This warmer weather is glorious. That is all.
-
You should check out Tatooine this time of year – GLORIOUS!
-
I must go to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!
-
Not until you’ve done your chores
-
And don’t forget to fix that borked R2 unit. Stupid droid, trying to escape and “save the galaxy” all the time… [head shake]
-
At least he doesn’t have a bad motivator.
-
-
-
-
Damn you Tatooine-ies it’s freezing here in Hoth and camping inside this dead Tonton is just no fun.
Hey Techy, check your emails 🙂
-
Wow human… thank you so much!
-
Your welcome 😀
-
you’re *
-
Huh, wha-? You’re not Strange…
😛
-
-
-
So, my little space marines, have any of you had a shot at making a Kotaku Color scheme yet?
We need to get something down so we can all have a marine waiting for when we play together
-
lol Chuloopa my friend was trying to get me to play Space Marine the other day (he thought I knew nothing about it) and his selling point was, and I quote, “It’s like Gears of War!”
I thought of you and grinned. Evilly.
-
Where is you friend so i can stab him.
In all honestly it actually ended up being nothing like gears, other than 3rd person – imo.
But oh well.. some people just have narrow scope.
If he is geeky at all tell him i said he has narrow scope – that’ll insult him good 😛
So did you actually play it? I think you should. Multiplyer is good mindless fun.
-
And the way it slows down when he gets a radio call.
It does cry out for a ‘snap to cover’ mechanism though.
-
ah yes – good point. But i think many games do that slow walk n talk thing anyway.
But yeah, there are some times i wish there was cover – but oh well.. Even if it did, though, i still wouldn’t say it’s like gears of war.. i mean cover systems are pretty much stock standard for all games these days… *shrugs*
-
-
-
-
Got to level 5 last night so I started customizing my space marine. Have not started on a TAY color scheme just yet though
-
mines still sitting on level 10
You got it on 360, yeah?have you got me on live? if not, it’s chul00p4
we’ll have to get in a game soon – hugo and cracks will be all over it too
-
Hells to the yes to the yeah!
I mean, I agree.-
Woop woop!
-
And with that, we cue the music
-
-
-
Why is everyone going to Canberra in the school holidays? It’s an awful place! We’re only going because we have family there and Meatage. Why are all the reasonably priced places to stay booked out? And why do places with four beds charge you extra for over 2 occupants? Also, why did Mr. Strange leave booking until almost the last minute and then ask me to take care of it?! He’s in trouble now. 😛
-
Man the place where i am staying is cheap and they offer free pickup from the airport. Plus i hear the host is a really nice guy with a beutiful head of hair!
-
Hmmm, maybe we’ll just drop the 2-year-old off to stay where you’re staying then….
-
I don’t babysit very well, kid’s don’t seem to like me. I think it is i look so brutish.
-
I can’t imagine you looking brutish, would not go with your voice at all.
-
thanks jo, If any of you have seen what i look like they could tell you i am quite frighting. Ask any one on twitter i am pretty bulked up and don’t look like a 14 year old kid at all.
-
You’re.. 14?
-
No i am not 14 i am actually 20 but no one would ever think that from what i look like.
-
-
Maybe I should get on this twitter thing just to see what people look like.
-
That’s a good thing. I, according to my mum and my older sister, look a bit like the Bieber… 🙁
-
Pic’s or it didn’t happen and by that i mean put a picture of justin bieber up so we can wallow in his good looks and boyish charm.
-
As long as you’re not looking like the blonde bieber from x-Factor… for fracks sake I can’t believe we got another one
-
I was like, lam-bo, lam-bo, lambo, ooohhhhh
-
-
-
Yeah! Apparently he’s a dude, too!
-
hahaha
If i was a chick i think i would be the most ugliest girl in exsistence. As it stands now im only about halfway between in the ugliest dude category. -
Doesn’t work for me. 🙁
If you really are desperate, my door is open. I know you won’t take me up on the offer, as that would be weird, but I felt that I should offer anyway, just because I can. And then I look like a nice guy, without actually having to go to any effort.
-
Good plan! Thanks for the offer though. 😉
We would offer to put you up, but there’s no way we can fit another 4 people in our house.
-
That’s okay, I really don’t want to inflict K on anybody’s house, he’s going through a deliberately disobedient phase, to try and test how far he can push me.
My sister offered up her house but ideally we wouldn’t want to put her through that.
Any of you Canberra types know of areas out of the city that might be nice to stay?-
Uhh.. there’s… uhhh… Ummm… My only experience is living in my own house…
-
Meat…age?
We live in the age of meat, siblings! Rejoice in the consumption of dead animal flesh!
http://i56.tinypic.com/dxhe05.jpg
-
i’m in love with that picture – it explains perfectly how i feel about vegetarians and *shudder* vegans
-
*Gives Chuloopa the Death Stare*
-
don’t make me slap you, boy!
😛
-
-
Once when I was young I pronounced to my family that I didn’t eat my vegetables because I was a ‘meat-a-tarian’. Forgot where I was going with this, but yay for meat!
-
-
Oh god. That, that is pure brilliance.
-
Pure meaty awesomeness!
-
I eat meat! That means I’m awesome! Yay!
-
It would be better if you were a dinosaur though.

DOC WHAT!!!!!!!
DRAGON AGE ANIME
http://www.funimation.com/dragon-age-movie/trailer/behind-the-scenes-teaser/357711
-
I KNOW! Been waiting for deets for ages. Saw both vids. Sucks that they moved it back to 2012 but…
OMG
CANNOT WAIT!
-
Video not working for me. Is this a proper thing or is it just some fan made thing?
If it’s a proper thing does it look like it will be any good?
-
Not fan made – proper thing.
I think it follows the story of how Cassandra the seeker came to be?
Either way, art looks amazing.
-
It’s just production art at the moment.
It’s real. It was announced on Kotaku back in the wildgoose days and then silence till a few days ago.
-
-
Sweet.
-
LOL – seems like it has more locations than DA2.
-
Well in all honesty thats not to difficult.
(From the top of my head) Majority of DA2 areas consisted:
City (Outdoors)
City (Indoors)
Wilderness
Cave (Oh dear god how I got sick of that cave around chapter 1/2)-
Don’t forget!
City (on fire)

OMG Clone Wars Season 4 premieres this friday!!! 😀
Trailer for those that are interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uAo6eP6he-M
-
you know i was one of the biggest fans of star wars.. until the prequel trilogy… and the MAIMING of the original trilogy… Ok soem things were improvements, like the dewbacks on tatooine, but other things were just DUMB!
Lucas just found a way to suck all of the whimsy out of it…
And now the blurays are coming out with even more shit edited in STUPID STUPID STUPID ways – it just makes me sick..
So for that reason i haven’t seen a single episode of clone wars, even though everyone tells me it’s actually good…
Someone tell me, though – does the bluray edition have an option to watch the movies completely unedited? Because that would be really nice… but i doubt lucas would be that forgiving…
-
I don’t care much for the movies actually. There are more than enough great Star Wars books, comics, games and TV series to make up for the butchering GL has done to them.
So yeah, don’t let your hate for GL get in the way of a perfectly good and enjoyable TV series. Or something like that (man, I’m good at motivational speaking, aren’t I?)
-
-
I still haven’t seen season 3. Stupid ABC 3 only showed the first 2 seasons (twice, I might add) but never the third. I guess I’ll have to try and rent a copy at video ezy or blockbuster, though I don’t know if either of the ones near my have them.
Just watched the 20 minutes of Skyrim. Looks badass, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to kill the dragons. I can just imagine the dragons lying there, waiting for the final blow:
*In Sean Connery’s voice*
“Steve-O, Why?”
Dammit Dragonheart! There should be an option to adopt/save the dragons, like Bioshock…
-
Sean Connery voicing the dragons? That would be so awesome.
And I have a friend who will buy Skyrim solely so that he can kill dragons. One part that made him happy was when I pointed out that there’s theoretically unlimited dragons, so he could slaughter as many as he wants.
-
I think my RPG lust for progression/powering up will override my mental Sean Connery voice-over. Would be an awesome mod though – giving the dragons that sweet, Scottish accent.
-
Mark Serrels/Jamie Watt: Voice actors?
-
Don’t forget James Mac!
-
I put in so much effort to get rid of my accent… it only appears now when I’ve been drinking, or I’m around my family… which causes me to drink.
It’s a vicious circle.
-
-
-
i would SO adopt a Sea Connery dragon!
I’m actually staying away from watching that gameplay video because I know it will kill me inside and I will not longer be able to wait for the game to be released. *dies*
-
Because all they’re doing is showing the same stuff over and over again, with only slight differences, I’m happy to watch it all!
-
Repetition in an Elder Scrolls game?! Why I never!
-
This is an RPG, there could be that option in there.
Then you and the dragon could con local villagers like a pair of medieval grifters.
About to watch it now. Oh, the excitement!
-
Why was I expecting different footage? Oh well, it was nice to have Todd narrating it.
WAIT
Are we talking about Skyrim or Mojang’s upcoming Scrolls?
I get so easily confused whenever people bring up Skyrim. I’m all “Oh, that Notch and Penny Arcade (sort of) game!”
I AM THE LASHT ONE!!!
Hai guys, i’m amazed at how quiet it is here at mine for a weekday. It’s like I moved to the not-so-far-away rural areas.
-
Hi there!
/yells out to other Taybies
FETCH THE OAR!
-
The question is what size oar do you require?
-
Screw that, let’s give him The Chop!
-
I have not seen that movie in years.
Which reminds me I need to re-watch the Adam West Batman movie which I recently acquired in HD! Such cheesy goodness!
-
such a wonderful movie
-
-
Virus isn’t new Harli. He/she has been on a few times before. Also i new remember my initiation maybe because i got paddled so hard i lost my memory?1
-
No I am not new, you are correct good sir. I mainly troll, I mean browse & comment on LifeHacker & Gizmodo though. Even though I am a gamer at heart. I’ll usually browse during class, anything to avoid web design =D
-
Also i’ve probably been around better part of 18 months, but would be only in the last 9 months I have started commenting often on articles.
-
I mustn’t be looking very hard then because i thought you were new too… sorry
Let me make it up to you by telling you about a great little game i like to call, SPACE MARINE….
-
All good, as I said I don’t comment much on Kotaku. Tad actually made me come here one day via Twitter, where is he these days TAY is not TAY without his eccentric input D:
-
Agreed. BRING BACK THE SPAMTOD!!! 😀
Oh wait…
-
-
Apparently it’s like Gears of War? 😛
-
/slap
-
More like StarCraft…
amiright?
-
-
So I finally got round to cleaning up my Red Bubble profile and adding some text about me.
Take a look and tel me what you think.
http://www.redbubble.com/people/cronotriggr/
Also, buy stuff!
-
i like it, buddy – i really need to get back to work on my stuff too.. i’ve been so slack…
-
Thanks, Loops!
Yeah, I have a few more controller shirts I can make and but it’s hard to find the time to do proper designs. I do have an awesome Megaman shirt in the works!
-
Make a space marine one and it will be an insta-buy for me 😛
-
I know almost nothing about Warhammer 40K but if you want anything in particular, let me know.
-
-
-
-
ahhahaha!
Lingerie, huh…
-
i like the frilly stuff – i feel pretty when i have it on
-
One word.
French.
Another?
Lace!
Ooh. La. La!
-
Is that liquor I smell, Tannen?
-
Ahhh, I wouldn’t know. I don’t know what liquor smells like, cuz I’m too young to drink it.
-
-
-
Wait, people actually wear underwear?
-
“Gentleman”. Yes. 😀
I’m regretting sending your link to Mr. Strange though, because I have to wait until October to see if he grabbed me anything and I can’t order anything for myself that he may have bought.
-
This is me saying nothing. ಠ_ಠ
So, just to clarify: I said nothing. Nor will I say anything.
Nothing was said. If you catch my meaning.
In saying that (And by “that” I mean “Nothing”) No one has bought any of the new 3 shirts yet.
That I can say.
I’ll get the bastard!
-
Hmmm, me-thinks this was meant to be a response to Virus__ and Harli.
-
I think so too.
-
I like that you managed to comment on this before it was available to the rest of us.
I wonder who made it… 😉
-
I wouldn’t know..Virus__ shows up then all of a sudden these comments are going all over the place 😛
-
I create chaos where ever I go =D
-
-
-
Out of curiosity does anyone here happen to play World of Warcraft as Alliance on Khaz’Goroth?
-
woah woah woah… people still play WoW!?
-
I only got into it about 15 months back because my mate thought it was a good idea lol. I tried many times over the years but always quit because I had no friends to teach me how to play properly lol.
-
nah man we all play LOL, except TADMOD who thinks he is to good for us with his HON.
-
One of my mates won’t shut up about LoL I am tempted to give it a go so he’ll be quiet.
-
-
haha yeah, i played through a 30 day trial and while i thought it was kind of neat i thought “nuts to paying $30 a month to keep playing”
lol
One of the guys i know just recently spent over $100 on the game just to transfer a few characters over!
-
I just paid 40 bucks for 3 months lol, it’s actually 15 a month if you buy online, or like 45 bucks for 2 months if you buy a game card from EB, JB or GAME.
Yeah the character realm & faction changes are a bitch, 25 bucks each which is totally unreasonable. I think at most 10 dollars.
-
I did the same thing.
It wasn’t an awful game. But really not worth the subscription fee.
If I buy for a game, I only want to pay ONCE.
I’m looking at you, Capcom. ಠ_ಠ
-
*cowers*
-
I’m pretty sure real Capcom is all “It’s funny because we don’t care what you think”.
*sob*
-
If they did, they wouldn’t cancel Megaman Legends 3 and THEN blame the fans.
-
-
-
Ok – so this isn’t my shep – but DAMN this is a nice looking shirt which i now sorely want!
http://biowarestore.com/mass-effect/mass-effect-mens-tshirts/shepard-illustration-tee
maybe after buying supplies for my home-made chainsword i can word towards this and one of the good doctors tees
-
Needs more Garrus.

i am now tempted to make a shirt that simply said “garrus’ genitals”

Holy crap – my stomach just made a sound that’s reminiscent of a Sarlac!
If i wait any longer for lunch it may actually start consuming my other organs!!
JUST HOLD ON UNTIL I CAN LEAVE FOR UNI, STOMACH!!1 PLEASE DON’T EAT MY SPLEEN!!!
-
i must be the most boring person alive. I go home for lunch at the same time everyday even though i can go whenever i want. I also have pretty much the same thing for lunch and do the same thing. Which is watch a episode of law and order with my grandfather. SOOO BORING
-
Just be careful that Boba Fett doesn’t try to crawl out of your stomach…
-
Mine did that this morning. You know what fixed it? Orange and Poppy Seed Muffin from 7-Eleven. It was nomtastic at only $2.50! Also available: $1 coffee!
I don’t like coffee, so I had a hot choc. Wasn’t bad for a buck!

On the subject of create-a-characters, for some reason I always end up making my characters Asians.
Odd that, I’m as white as they come.-
“On the subject of create-a-characters…”
What?

Best segue.

Ahah er, hrm.
Totally supposed to be a reply to the other Loops post.

If you hear the Wilhelm Scream coming from your spleen area…You know what happened.

Wilhelm scream is best scream. I think I may have even heard it in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

This morning I woke up and it felt like my stomach had eaten itself during the night.

You’re not the boss of me!
LoL players – new rotation!
http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/new-free-champion-rotation-season-one-week-61-0
-
I was like; “Oh another bunch I don’t care ab… NOCTURNE!!!!
-
NOCTURNE, I SHALL TRY YOU TONIGHT
-
Annoying purple poison throwing guy!
-
I’m tempted to try out Caitlyn and Xena… I mean Sivir.
I really need to start playing more heroes. So far my LoL time has been spent with one game with Ashe, one game with Katarina and then six games with Kayle.
-
I think you’ll find Xena uses a Chakram, which is of circular nature.
I think you’ll also find that Sivir lacks a lesbian travelling companion.Also, game name? We’re always up for playing a game at night, and it’s better in groups. Solo queue is… really something sometimes.
-
DireWolf029
I’d like to play with you guys but I’m not very good at the game yet. I’m only level 6 and I’ve only played begginer bot games so far.
Feel free to add me as a friend but I think I’m going to try and improve my skills a bit more before I jump in and play with you guys.-
It’s ok!
I am level 13 and just as terrible as when I first started.
I also killsteal.
I’m the best at what I do! 😀Also Rocketman started a week ago (abouts?), so you guys should be around the same level.
-
LVL 2
I WIN \o/
-
Have you got Flash yet???
Flashing is the best! -
Flashing is best when you reach level 19 and unlock the trench-coat. Also remember not to equip any other items underneath.
-
Except two boots, amiright?
-
-
-
Well i don’t really know to uch about any of these guys but i wanna try gangplank.
-
Do you know where Gankplank is from?
Arrrggghhh-gentina!
-
No, his back story thing suggests he was born in Blue Flame Island, and grew up in Bilgewater.
I don’t see mention of Argentina anywhere.-
Arrggghhh you saying I’m a li-arrrrghhhh?
-
Hahaha, it took me 10 minutes to figure out you were saying “liar”.
._.Also yes. Yes I am.
-
-
I wanted to try out Singed and this Karma lady looks like another support I can add to my collection.
-
Damn, I bought Karma a couple of weeks ago and haven’t had the chance to fully try her out in PVP yet…
-
I just had a look at her abilities and she has a ridiculous amount of tools available. Like crazy woah.
-
She’s hard to get used to, but in the games I’ve played her she is awesome at dealing area-of-effect damage/heals and saving peoples asses. People should take better care of their donkeys.
-
-
I’m not sure if I care, but since I hate Nunu with the fire of a thousand burning suns(this level of hate also applies to Teemo, Annie, and Steve-o playing as Garen against me), I might give him a try…
@Loops – look up for possible Space Marine scheme.
-
hmm i don’t mind it.. but why is the red only down one side??
I get the feeling it needs something, but i’m not sure what…
did you use bleached bone for yours? -
Currently my Chaos Marine is the most garish pink/purple colour scheme you ever have seen.
It is truly a glorious sight to behold.-
I use the emporers children scheme – i LOVE that bright pink and black combo 😀
-
So I started playing ME2 on PS3 back when it first came out and I quickly started to hate how my Femshep looked.
I stopped playing when I went to San Fran in Feb and never picked it up again.
I’m tempted to start again but I’m trying to decide if I should go bro or fem this time.
Any surgestions?
-
lady gaga?
-
I’ve only ever played FemShep, FemHawke and FemWarden in all my games. I’ve yet to try being a guy version in any of those titles yet.. duno, it just doesn’t feel right. I always like making my characters look like me as much as possible. Perhaps you should do the same. You can name him Doctor Shepard. And make him look like you. That would be AWESOME.
-
I’ve made a heap of Wardens for my DA;O game to get the trophies. I tried to do a male and female of each race. But ended up with two female elves. My Male human (mage) is my evil Warden. He picks on Alistair ALL the time.
MWA HA HA HA
-
-
How can you even think of making a broshep when femshep is voiced by JENNIFER HALE!
-
This.
-
SO kotaku LOL game tonight maybe??
The 5v5 games are awesome. Who is keen???
-
I’m in
-
Ill join you guys if you’ll take me. I wanna see the skizillz of da Kotaku crewz … dawg (im so street)
-
Dude aren’t you level 30. We are all like 8-24. If you play whoevers team you are one is gonna be significantly advantaged. unless you play all noobish or crabjiffy and techy go on the same team against you.
-
Oh, I’m sure we can balance it out like we did last night. We’ll just shuffle teams around until we get something that looks good.
-
seconded.
Scruffy believes in this company! -
I wouldn’t call that balanced, we got mauled that game. It’ll need some adjusting
-
If you guys need anybody to fill in numbers somebody shoot me a msg on twitter or something and I’ll hop on.
-
There is a Numbers joke in here.
I…
That….
….
You…
That’s what she said?DAMMIT
DAMN YOU BRAIN
ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
-
-
I don’t know, on paper it looked good. Sure, it’ll need a bit of re-jigging, but not too much. At least, from that pool of 10. Break up Trjn and Steve-O, but the rest of the opposite pairings seemed okay. I think our advantage was our CC moves?
Anyways, my point is that we’ll see who’s on and just go from there.
-
Maybe if I actually learn how to play a character, then I will feed less, and thus the teams would work better…
-
Steve-O and I have a good character combination going, but I can latch onto any similar DPS type character for the same result :p
Or I could just use someone other than Janna.
-
Perhaps we just need to find a similarly awesome combo for the other team.
Say Morgana’s Black Shield on Kennen so he cannot be stunned as he rushes in. -
I’m the only one who plays Morgana or Janna :p
I can’t be on both teams!
-
I have been thinking of picking her up.
I guess it depends how the teams are arranged. -
She’s got Banshee’s Veil on a stick and an ulti that dominates group engagements. A lot to like about her.
-
Indeed, she is pretty cool.
Or DireWolf uses Kayle, imagine her ult on someone like Kennen or Master Yi at the right moment.
-
-
Shall join you good sir.
awesome….
Kotaku game awaits…..
got to….
finish work….
NOW!!!!!
Currently on the App store for iPhone/iPad, the game “Pixel Ninja” is free to play for today only:

My apologies for mistaking you for a new face, Virus___ (how many underscores is that? am I correct in making it three?) I am rather terrible at remembering handles. And picking up little things.
Except for Zumba Fitness and Trains Simulator fan.
They’re heaps wicked.
-
It’s 2, I know it’s a bit hard to tell how many haha. All good though, I don’t recall seeing you around before, although my memory is pretty bad at times. Probably very early dementia oh well, at least my mother works at a nursing home haha.
-
-
I see, now I recognise you 😛
-
-
-
Man i love Zumba Fitness and Trains Simulator fan, he is really awesome and not blaghman at all.
-
What? I wish I was witty enough to be Zumba Fitness and Trains Simulator fan, but alas I am not. It’s like suggesting that someone is Plainview, very few people can truly write like that.
-
Really you aren’t him, well im confused now
-
But isn’t JM2 Plainview?? 😛
-
MIND EXPLOSIONS
-
He is but the Tyler Durden to JamesMacUsedMyHandle. He is no more JM2 than Garfield is Jon. They are but twisted thoughts, given life by tortured minds.
-
-
-
-
It’s true! On both accounts!
Thanks Harli!
This almost makes up for your little… indiscretion yesterday.
You’re a pretty cool dude too!
I want chocolate.
-
You say that like it’s out of the ordinary.
-
Heyyyyyyyyyyyy baby. Can you handle the CHOCMEISTER?
Kotaku LoL matches and a new rotation with several champions that I want to try. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!
-
Because we’re evil.
-
You are 🙁
-
We are truly malevolent beings, acting solely through spite, just to make you feel bad. Speaking of which, did I mention that I got into the D3 beta? Yeah, it’s pretty good, pretty much everything I imagined it would be. So much finger-clickin’ goodness. Yeah, alright, that was a lie, I just wanted to make you feel even more jealous of us…
-
I almost leapt through the internetz to kill you! It’s just a closed beta at the moment, so just friends and family of the developers, etc. The open beta won’t send out keys for another week or two..
Haha, and I know it’s not all to spite me 😛 I’m just jealous!
-
To the best of my knowledge Diablo 3 will be a super special awesome version of Diablo 2.
Therefore impressions of the beta should be along these lines:
This character looks kind of interesting click click click click click wow I didn’t know I could do that click click click click click oh look that guy looks a little click click click click click run run run! click click click click click Yay a unique! click click click click click Boo, a corpse run! click click click click click
RAINBOWS EVERYWHERE click click click click click
-
My eyes!
They can’t handle all this colour!
I am visually over stimulated!
2/10 game -
Make fun of it if you want 😛 but it’s my most anticipated game of all time. The Diablo series is my favourite 🙂
-
I consider all of what I wrote to be a good thing.
-
Okay good 😛 I wasn’t sure if you were making fun of it or not. I’m pissed off about the always online thing but apart from that, I’m excited for pretty much everything they’ve announced.
-
It’s all good! Although, I think they’ve gotten rid of Corpse Runs. From what I saw in streams it was more a WoW durability hit or something pathetic like that.
-
I’m refusing to buy it because of that always online thing. My friends are trying to erode my will power but I haven’t brought anything with that yet I’m not going to give in now!
If just a few billion people join me they’ll have to abandon the idea!
-
I just don’t care… Yeah, I’m awesome(I’ll buy a legit copy, and if I ever have a laptop with it I’ll just crack it, which I do with most games anyway…).
-
It annoys me, but I’ll still buy it, my PC at home will always be connected to the internet anyway. I’ll buy that copy and probably have a cracked copy on my laptop for travelling so that doesn’t bother me either.
-
My internet connection has been unreliable at times. Seems to to be stable now but for a while it kept dropping out every 30 min or so for days at a time. Th
e main reason though is I hate the idea of having to be always on because it’s just a matter of time before companies start ‘switching off’ their old games when a new one is released. (just because I’m cynical doesn’t mean I’m wrong!)

Imagine the fanfics!

“Soap unclips his combat vest, and takes off his shirt, revealing a a muscular physique. A scar is engraved between his pectoral muscle. Seeing nameless BF3 guy gazing on it, Soap starts to explain ‘Ah git this whin some auld guy managed tae beat me up ‘n’ then he stabbed me bit tis okay ah knifed him in th’ yak real guid’.
Satisfied with this story, BF3 guy high-fives Soap.”
-
Wait, what? My Big W Dead Island order is now reading as shipped on the link from the email…
What is this madness? Can it really be true?
-
Nah, they’re just messing with you. Big W is like that.
-
DON’T KILL MY DREAMS!
-
-
Mine isn’t 🙁
*Throws massive tantrum*
I wan my ded island
*throws himself onto the floor and starts smashing his fists on the ground*
I wan it, I wan it, I wan it!!!
(and just for good measure)
!!!!!!!-
Just had a mental image of Arnold Schwarznegger in a diapper throwing this tantrum.
You crazy barbarians. You make me laugh.
-
-
Surely tho’ jests. Lest tho’ “Big W” wishth to taste thyn steel on thy field of justice?
I feel like I may have crossed some line on Twitter just now.
In my defense, ponies really are imba.
-
I think you’re good.
-
I think you’re Scottish!
-
Rocketman doesn’t think you’re normal.
-
HAHAHAHA
-
HAHAHAHA!!!!
-
I really think this whole thing got blown out of proportion.
-
You would say that, wouldn’t you?
-
Yes, yes i would.
-
-
-
You guys think there will be a spot for me in tonight’s 5v5 match? 🙂
-
IF everyone gets on teamspeak about 7.30 – for 8.00 clock start we will just go first in best dressed. But i can’t see us having to many people.
-
I’m sure we can shuffle things around if there isn’t room.
-
It depends on who’s online! AHAHAHAHA First in, best dressed, all that.
-
I won’t be on for any of the fun, I’m not finishing until 2200 tonight and starting again at 0800 tomorrow. No game time tonight (sad face)
-
That’s a shame, but it might make getting the right numbers easier… Maybe…
-
Though I’d be impressed if we somehow managed to get the wrong “numbers” to enter our game. Ha Ha Ha.
-
-
Hey there you with the sad face, come up to my place, and live it up!
-
Strange!
In response to your accommodation question from a few pages back, the only places I can really think of that are out of the city are Country Comfort in Greenway or Rydges Capital Hill. Otherwise there are a ton of places up Northbourne Avenue in the city.
Unfortunately I haven’t spent a lot of time looking for accommodation in my own city.
Woooop!!
Just got tix for Eminem in Melbourne and Sydney!!!!
-
I saw the prices the other day for the tour.. So expensive =/
-
I thought so to at first, but would have happily paid $75 to see either Slim or Lil Wayne so $150 wasn’t to bad. Plus The Hoods!!
-
Brisbane is something like 180 starters and 350 for the ‘Lose Your Money’ zone. I was shocked. I expected those prices from The Rollings Stones or The Eagles not Eminem D:
-
Brisbane!!!!
****Furiously checks internet***
No Brisbane show 🙁
That really would have broke the bank…. -
Sure I saw Brisbane on err ticketek? I must’ve been dreaming. Was more focused on finding out about Alice Cooper tickets lol.
-
-
-
Melbourne \o/!
-
You going!!????
-
No, but we can hold a meat if you come to Melbourne (And by meat, I mean steal your eminem tickets and refuse to give them back until you buy a PS3 :D)
-
Yeah this kinda obliterates the PS3 fund… If I had one…
-
-
Mate, enjoy it. I am sure it’ll be a good show but I couldnt ever justify that cost.
I’ll only pay up to about $50 (Celph titled is $45 for example)… Then again I tend to buy CD’s n stuff at the shows (mostly to reimburse them for previous pirated songs) so it does add up.
Let us know how it was OK?
-
Soooo…
$50 for The Hilltop Hoods
$50 for Lil Wayne
$50 for EminemWoohoo!! See you there…..
Addendum to earlier post re: Big W.
Just got an email saying my Dead Island was dispatched…
Maybe it was a good thing I didn’t answer my phone yesterday.
-
I just checked the status of my order and it says shipped!
I can’t believe my plan worked!
-
I didn’t even order it and I just got an email saying that it’s shipped! What a great day! (Totally not just trolling Hugo the Hungry Bavarian)
-
Ditto.
I don’t know where they found all those extra copies, or how they got my email address, or why they’re shipping it to me free, without me even ordering it, but apparently one is on the way!
😀
-
-
Wow. That is great news. You must be so happy. I am very happy for you. We are all happy.
So.
Very.
HAPPY.*Looks over at Blaghman and Aidan*
Wow. You guys are hilarious. You must be so funny. I am laughing. We are all laughing.
Laughing.
So.
Very.
HARD.
*runs off sobbing hysterically*-
*pats your shoulder consolingly*
-
Did you answer the “call of the damned”? (I made it up, feel free to use it)
If not then there is still a chance you just have to belieeeeeeve!
-
To expand on what I said, I originally didn’t get my order marked as “shipped” when Cracks said his was marked.
So there is still hope aslong as you don’t answer the call from Big W (I think)
-
1 unknown call with no message.
Still being processed.
A barbarian can only survive on hope for so long… he then goes on a murderous rampage of violence, pillaging and raiding, which in this day and age is mainly just invading the nearest McDonalds, KFC or Pizza Hut. -
Don’t give up hope, Hugo!
-
-
-
I’m sorry. It was all in jest my Libertarian friend.
-
I laughed, then I cried, then I laughed some more, then I got hungery, then sleepy, then I laughed again and here we are.

Catching up on old pages. 😀
@Harli: Agree that TShirt looks amazing. Wasn’t a big of the first design they did but that looks great.
@Dr What? – It’s not as though one is so much better than the other (re: broshep/femshep), both of them have their good lines and they do a lot of the scenes differently.
I do have a few of both, and even though I use a maleShep as my ‘main’ character (and I’ll play through that one first for ME3), I actually feel more attached to and invested in most of my femSheps. Hale’s performances have an emotional/human edge that’s missing from a lot of Meer’s stuff, I think. Plus she sounds more confident and in command, or something. Less ‘space marine herp derp’.
-
I just realised: that post above was NOT about Space Marine. :O
*ducks behind flame shield*
What I meant was: Shepard is an officer rather than a grunt; s/he should sound less like a stereotypical space marine from Aliens and more like a captain who knows what they’re talking about. I think Hale generally does this better.
-
I’d like to point out that the first appearances of the term Space Marine were as early as November 1932. Therefore, anyone who instantly associates Space Marine with the Warhammer 40k universe is clearly blinded to the real world, and as such should be apologising to us, and clarifying what they’re talking about every time they use the term.
Because that’s how language works…
-
See Chuloopa? It’s okay for Space Marine to be like GOW. 😛
-
Gears of War or God Of War???
Or both…
Gee does this game do anything original….? -
Ha ha ha.
GET OUT.
-
-
Oh, I agree… but given the recent, uh, flurry of stuff in TAY about it I thought I’d be careful 😛
Are the 40k Space Marines stereotypical space marines? I know pretty much nothing about it.
-
Stereotypical Space Marines are more the Starship Troopers/Aliens mold. Human soldiers who happen to be in space, typically using “future” versions of current weapons, which just means guns that make funny noises. The 40k Space Marines on the other hand are walking tanks, more in line with say, Master Chief(YES I KNOW!). If anything, I’d say the Imperial Guard is more like normal space marines… Uhh, where was I? Not answering your question, that’s where. Yeah, they’re more walking tanks with big explosions and massive power armour and stuff.

BTW can I just express my disappointment for the lack of mods that Mass effect 2 has? You’d think by now there would be HEAPS!
-
Yeah that was my biggest gripe about it too; hardly any loot or upgrades.
What kind of RPG is this?-
Jo, you confuddle me greatly.
-
Indeed I am not with it today.
To be fair I thought you meant mods as in armor and weapon mods in game not user created mods for PC.
-
-
Or full armour sets, just attachments…
-
-
*hi5’s*
-
Also I’d like to add that I too am a huge fan of Hale’s performance. She’s tough and witty whilst still retaining a human perspective. Can’t comment on MaleShep.
Gorzilla, Blaghs, why the James in front of the name? D: for a second I thought I’d already commented or something :/
-
Jamezilla decided that there were so many James’ in TAY that the only logical course was to join them so as to survive the Jamepocalypse. As an unoriginal man with nary a new idea, I decided to mimic him.
-
Hear hear!
-
:O!
-
I was so confused when I was approving this comment because I recognised all the names but… it was… different! And then, like magic, I figured it out.
-
lol!!
I’m trying to speed up time 🙁
-
We’re causing problems! High Fives all ’round!
-
CHEST BUMP!
-
You know, of the six times I have chest-bumped, it has only ended well twice. So, just giving you a catsup.
-
It was almost as confusing (but not quite) as receiving emails from a Kotaku commenters because it’s like… you people have REAL NAMES? No. NO. I refuse. YOUR REAL NAME IS CHULOOPA. Mind=blown.
-
Oh man, being at the meats is weird, because it’s like “Do I use your real, name, or your handle? What should you guys call me? I JUST DON’T KNOW!”
-
My handle is also my nickname. Victory!
-
-
What happens when you get one from Jamesmag?
“This is Jamesmags’ real name??? No. NO. I… actually I guess that’s not too much of a leap, to be honest.” -
BE worse with the James Macs. Oh, James McKenna, cool, I definitely know that that’s one of them…
-
I was James Mac… before it became cool.
-
-
Just call me Tech Knight even if you meet me in person. The name that the humans gave me… I don’t like it
That’s what it says on my chassis, I’m sticking to using that name 🙂
-
But your name is so influential they even made a game out of it where everybody has to listen to what you say. No really.
-

***whistles nonchalantly***
-
-
If it helps Tracey i’ll change my first name to Virus & my last name to 2 underscores 😛
-
Well, I think I’ll stick to the nicknames because anything else is far too complicated. Mark refers to you guys by your online names, and I keep crossing Harli’s name with her real name and getting something that is neither her name name nor her gaming handle.
TLDR: ONE NAME, PEOPLE.
-
But now I feel special!
-
Sir eats would be difficult…..
Regular handle is quite regular.
Real name is possibly the greatest handle ever!!!! -
I guess my decision not to start posting under my real name has worked out rather well for you then.
Then again, I seem to attract nicknames, so just having one name was never a possibility for me. Sorry to disappoint.
Cheers,
Adam
aka Trjn
aka TrjnRabbit
aka Rabbit
aka Bunny(and yes, I respond to all of these names and then some, as anyone on Teamspeak can confirm)

I guess my decision to start posting under my fake name has worked out rather well for you then.

Don’t forget Trin, as I sometimes call you for some reason.
Also, I nearly reported you because I didn’t realise the reply button had run away and I just clicked the thing starting with R. Good think someone thought to make it ask if you are sure you want to report the person.
-
Gnaww stop it jamesmacusedmyhandle you are inflating my ego to unmanageable proportions.

*Whistles nonchalantly while taking a page out of JM2’s book(and money from his wallet while I’m at it)*
-
…aka Trin
aka Trijin…
Exactly. The power of the name James is too strong to resist. That means the only thing to do is abuse that power until it triggers the destruction of the world. But by that stage we’ll be assimilated into the Jamesborg cube.
Also, I’m stealing Jamezilla. Seems only fair.
Awesome, this will be very confusing :/
-
Look on the bright side, only some of the people here will get involved, mostly us immature ones, and only some people have names suitable. It would be very confusing if say, DAN! and dawdle! both decided to do it, as we’d have JAMES! and james!, but it would be way worse if Strange (James) and Bish (James) were to do it.
Then we could also have Jms (Trjn), JameShady (obvious), The James (Crackelackle), Zumba Fitness and James Simulator fan, Jamesview, and so on and so forth.
-
It’s going to be so awesome. Won’t even know who I’m talking to but I don’t care!
-
Darn one name handles…
-
-
This is the part where I get those spirals in my eyeballs (like an anime character) and roll out of TAY.
This is not defeat. I just need to… roll out of here.
-
I’m pretty sure you were defeated by TAY mere moments after entering. After all, you never responded to the video portion of the initiation(the part that involves no Paddles, but is ten times as painful).

So hipster!!! 😀
SPACE MARINE TALK!
So is the Assault class seen as a cheap class?
I scored a lot more kills with that class but that could have been just because of me being the only red-bar player in the match so melee attacks are the only sure-fire hits.
-
From what I’ve seen, every class/weapon combo is seen as a cheap class/weapon combo. Which usually means the balance is pretty decent. The only problem I’ve seen so far is the ease with which devastators move around with a plasma cannon. Other than that, eveything else seems a-okay with me.
Im placing an order for Gun-Metal grey tampons if anyone wants to chip in?
-
This is a fantastic idea
-
It is Tracey’s idea… Im just helping her out. (See the pink 3DS post if you haven’t already)…
-
Oh, I have seen it ;P
So yeah, gunmetal grey?
-
Cool, didnt want to take credit for her awesomeness.
-
-
-

I feel like that’s your 2000th tweet, right there.
-
I went with ‘Purple Monkey Dishwasher’ and Im happy with my choice… but you are right, another day and that would have made it for sure.
-

Bah, tampons. Everyone knows pads are where it’s at. They make the best super hero outfits.

IIRC she does something to do with an evil drug company of evil. Did I mention that they’re probably evil? Because yeah, drug companies. (Pick the doctor’s child, so much hate for drug companies)

MWAHAHAHHAHAAHA
Sorry, i just tHought of somEthing funny. What I meant to Say was that i cannot shaRe that Information with you, because then i’d have to Gut you. i mean tHaT in the nicest way possible!

I feel like I’m in a Dan Brown novel!
-
You’re halfway there!
har har har..
-
The writing’s better here than in a Dan Brown novel.
-
-
My Shew is right? Hmmmm. This truly is a conundrum.
-
Dammit, I knew I would screw that up somehow.
-
If you’d gone with caps at the start of every sentence, on not, then it would have been fine, bust since you did a mixture of both, PROBLEMS!
-
-
Thats what i got too. I think Harli is crazy. Maybe she works at a mental hospital to get free drugs??
-
-
I would be a very good Dan Brown character: it took me way longer than it should to crack that code.
-
I bet FatShady glanced at it and deciphered it in 0.000871 seconds.
-
Now he’s going to write about it and make another appearance on Good Game.
Man, home is boring, there’s nothing for me to do(lots for me to do, but I’m too slack to do any of it).
-
think of this though in just a few hours you will be able to hear my angelic voice regail you with stories that are awesome and interesting
-
Oh please Rocketman, tell me the story of how you found ten dollars!
-
Well it was a raining tuesday as i remember it i got up in the morning and made myself 2 slices of toast, as is the norm for me on Tuesdays.I used the setting 3 for medium brown and it took 2 minutes. I lightly buttered the bread and then applied strawberry jam, that ma had picked up from the store the previous tuesday when i notified her that we were low on strawberry jam. After i ate my toast. I went to the sink to wash it, to my suprise there was no washing liquid for the washing of my toast plate. So i just had to leave it in the sink. I walked up the 6 stairs to my bedroom and changed into my favourite green polo shirt.
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS A TERRIBAD STORY. I STOLE THE TEN BUCKS OF A YOUNG KID WANTING TO USE IT TO PURCHASE A STAR WARS FIRGUIRINE.
-
Pretty harsh to lambo, man.
-
Where else will i get money, work???
-
Just scam old people out of it.
-
-
lol, nice pun 😛
-
OK, Can I NOM Trjn for Kudos this week for pointing out an unintended pun I made that has had me ashamed and proud and sad and happy all at the same time. The combination of these feelings is awesome and I am so glad he pointed it out.
Love your work man!
-
I actually thought it was intentional and laughed heartily. Now I am laughing even more.
-
it was JUST that funny that if i had intenDed it, i wOuld be braggiNg about iT like crazy… Man, i can honEstly say i didNT even thInk abOut it. Now thats Pretty aMazing jokeS right there.
it wasnt untiL i re-read it after trjn’s cOmment that i reaLised and i thought it was the funniest thing i’ve seen all day!
-
Why aren’t we mentioning PMS??
-
I was hoping that it was going to say “Don’t mention the war.” I was so disappoint.
-
The comment I wrote, that disappeared into the nether (also the aether, it can disappear into multiple places) had a hidden message “I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.”
-
I too was hoping for a Fawlty Towers reference.
-
-
-
-
I don’t get it. =(
-
WAIT I GET IT
Heh heh heh.
-
-
For once, my pundar pays off!
My years of reading Terry Pratchett have not been in vain!
Jamezilla/Gorzilla:
I see your point with the DRM thing. However I don’t think it will get to that stage, publishers are stupid but even they have to realise that if they start doing that, people with not buy their product and just pirate it, or they won’t play it at all…
-
It does make me wonder though, if they do end up going with a console release of Diablo 3, whether this will have larger sales purely because of the no DRM (assuming they don’t implement a console DRM for it :/).
-
I do worry about other companies turning off their games, but at least with Blizz I know that it’s not at risk of happening anytime soon. If other companies showed the dedication to run the servers for games that are over ten years old (Or hell, release patches for them on occasion) then it wouldn’t be an issue, but most people won’t so, I guess it is.
-
Yeah, Blizzard are really good for that. I don’t know why companies would choose to do that though, they could still be making money out of the older games..
-
Well, Blizz do overcharge like a bitch on their older games (don’t get me wrong, I think they’re worth the price, but still, really pricey for games that old), so that helps to keep the games profitable for them, I guess.
-
Haha yeah, I remember Diablo II was still $50 or so new until they randomly decided you could buy the key from Blizzard for $3 and then just download the games. That was announced about a week after I bought the Battlechest again (I lost my previous copy in one of my many moves).
-
-
-
-
Yeah, I don’t think it’s really likely to be happening any time soon but the whole Idea of it really goes against the grain for me.
It’s the same reason I don’t like the idea of the government to filter our internet. Whatever the initial intentions is there is the potential to abuse the power, sooner or later, it will be.
I think I may have broken the comments system with a few too many bold tags (some may not have been closed properly).
Oops.
-
Like a bawse?
-
Doing the whole hidden message thing is easier when I don’t have to force myself to type oddly. Just write a long message and then bold the relevant characters to make the message.
Simple, easy, effective and apparently not approved by the comment system 🙁

It’s okay Bunny, I approve of your methods.

No, ‘lol’ is someone with their hands in the air, like they just don’t care.

Ha!
Reposting of comment with something not in HTML tags in the hope that this goes through.
⊙▃⊙
I totally did not notice that.
Stick with me, NotoriousR, I will teach you many things*.
*Learning things not guaranteed, results may vary
Testimonial:
Thanks to Bish, I learnt many useful things – Such as the fact that Rocketman is a racist! Thanks Bish!
Hahahahaha! I feel like we’re taking this too far though..
You also needed Bish to teach you what “racism” is, as you just thought it was part of everyday North Queensland life. 😛
Silly Blaghs, North Queenslanders don’t believe in racism – we hate everyone the same!
That’s a form of equality!
My comments! They’re disappearing into the aether!
-
OM NOM NOMS!
I ad-block plug-in is usually working but a second ago it suddenly turn itself off and the kinect game Rise of the Nightmare ad pops out and scare the _ _ _ _ out of me!
-
It scared away all your underscores? However will you cope?!?! 😛
-
You use ad block! You’re not giving Kotaku any monies! ಠ▃ಠ
Yawn… what time is it? I want coffee even though I’m not doing anything today…
-
I also want coffee. I only slept for about 4 hours last night, was getting randomly hot and cold and kept tossing and turning :/
If I give you some money, can you get me a coffee too?
-
I’m thinking of getting the instant powdered kind I already have at home. Even though they don’t taste great, the vague resemblance is enough for me.
-
Haha yeah, all work has is a really, really crappy coffee machine which makes the most disgusting coffee to mankind, or International Roast, which is only slightly better.
-
We have a coffee machine at work. It’s so good. last night I made some of the instant coffee crap. Couldn’t drink it.
Work has made me a coffee snob.
-
-
////-(꒪⥚꒪☂)///
This made me think of Bish. Both because it’s a silly face and because it looks like :I.
I am quite the bored, as you can tell.
-
A :I face with square framed glasses!
cute ;3 -
What face reminds you of me?
Just realised I may not want to know this..
-
This face reminds me of you: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150372515867176&set=t.648187175&type=1&theater
I think I might be doing this wrong though.
-
Facebook is blocked at work but I’m guessing that’s actually a photo of me from my facebook? 😛
-
Indeed, you have a slightly derpy look on your face as well.
-
Hahaha! Which photo is it? 😛
-
The Third one.
What do you mean that doesn’t help? It’s from your twenty-first, your mother is there, and I think you’re in the middle of saying something while not looking at the camera.
-
Ah yes, that would be my Grandad’s “professional” photography 😛
-
And unfortunately “slightly derpy” is usually the best I can hope for in most photos 😛
-
My standard look is “Derp beyond all belief,” with occasional visits to the land of “Creepy Stalker,” often stopping midway to grab a coffee in “Smile-that-is-so-fake-and-everyone-knows-it-because-it’s-purposefully-that-bad-so-it’s-less-bad.”
-
I feel your pain..
For my girlfriend and my anniversary this year, we got a photoshoot done (so gay I know but we were given a gift voucher for one). It went for an hour and they took about 800 photos, we got them down to about 16 photos that were acceptable of me 😛
-
I’ve always been exceedingly concious of myself in photos, so even ten year old me who was skinny and cute would only smile on rare occasions in set-up photos, and only when forced to.
I am so bad at photos.
-
Awwwww look at little Sean and his wabbit ears.
-
If I could find the photo from a year earlier when I was dressed as Dazzle the dinosaur then your cold heart would melt. Or you’d laugh at me. At least one of those.
-
-
-
(`・ω・´)
That’s Pedobear btw.
-
Oh…yay! Wouldn’t that suit Bish more, what with his driving past schools and all.
-
HAHAHA!
-
HEY
Today I drove past Epping Boys High AND NOT A SINGLE SUSS SONG CAME ON -
yeah but waving your c*ck out the window whilst singing suggestive Katy Perry songs is just as bad….
-
He told me the rooster enjoys the breeze.
-
Also, AFROMAG
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
-
Oh man, I forgot about that! Holding his Smirnoff Ice Double Black like a gangsta.
-
It’s such a gangsta drink alright!
-
Double Blacks are really only good for two things.
Real Mans Jager Bombs and date rape…. -
Real Mans Jager bomb? Is that a shot of Jager in a double black, or what?
-
It’s two, in a glass big enough to take the whole double black. Invented at a mates party
Good times, but gets messy fast.
Got one made for me when i was out once, but something about the “responsible service of alcohol” makes them unable to do so now.
-
Counting down till 5…Not so I can leave work, but so it looks like I’m staying behind to do extra work like the model employee I am. Then, when everyone’s gone, I’ll use the tools we have in the office to fix my faulty Xbox power supply. Turns out it was just a loose connection that was sparking and shorting out. Hopefully if I re-solder that back together, it will work. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, if anyone actually knows about electrical stuff.
-
Well, ROcketman is an electrical technician, so he should know, right? I’m sure Xbox’s work just like expensive GPS systems and whatever else he works with…
-
They are exactly the same pretty much!
-
-
If you have a multimeter it makes the job easier to see if the connection works. But be careful because that loose connection might of shorted the xbox!
-
Also where was the loose connection if it was on the power plug it might be better to replace the entire plug. if it is in the cable make sure you heatshrink or tape it up quite well .
-
I was just going to solder it back together and plug it in and stand back :/
What’s the worst that could happen?
-
You drop a ball of molten solder onto your groin and it burns through your pants.
It’s pretty bad, man.-
The worst part, I have done that more than once!
-
Would I pass out from the pain and wake up to find that my man-hood was now all metal-like and augmented?
“I didn’t ask for this…”
-
-
-
Rocketman, I want my ten dollars back :'(
-
Come on how will i come up with awesome stories if i don’t find $10.00
-
But, but, how am I supposed to get that Jar Jar action figure now?? D’:
-
My my what a lot of spam, I mean user contribution. It’s hard to keep up with TAY some days D:
-
Hahahaha Spam cause we write nonsense.
GET OUT!
But just kidding
-
Nonsense is the best kind of spam!
-
-
I don’t know what you’re talking about, these are all relevant and intelligent points, put forward in smart ways, that I would not call spamlike at all.
-
-
Aww man I feel like losing my lunch I never ate after seeing that.
-
It’s probably already been discussed and I’ve missed it, but how did the LoL 3v3 go last night?
I spotted comments on a 5v5 but the 3v3 remains a mystery to me.
-
I helped!
-
My team won, first time ever in Kotaku vs Kotaku atm… I keep thinking I suck after playing those -.-. Anyway, the teams were me, Bish and Bunny vs Blaghman, Rocketman and Pyrean. It was a good fight, manys times of being jumped on by the kitty in the brush, but in the end I triple killed and we overwhelmed their turrets to the nexus.
-
I am a bad luck charm. Of the whole 3 games I have been on the winning team 0 times. *sigh*
-
3 of 3!
We should team up. Negate our respective luck.-
Didn’t they decide that we were at similar play levels, and so should be on different teams? Oh well, just match us up with the two best players and I’m sure we’ll manage. 😀
-
Damn, my spying wasn’t enough even after I told them you were planing to destroy the nexus!
-
-
-
@Chuloopa regarding Dr McNinja. I am so jealous, you’re very lucky. And I think I’m going to buy that print, it’s amazing.
-
every time Chris (the creator of mcninja) releases a new book, he offers personalised copied for an extra $10 – well worth it.
BUT he is also very reachable by email, so if you want it that bad maybe you should email him and you guys might be able to come up with a price – he’s a really nice guy and replies in good time. I sent him an email a while ago and it;s the reason we can use his image for community kudos. 🙂
-
That’s so awesome! I might have to send him an email sometime..
-
I am loving the Numbers puns, keep it up 😛
P.S. Harli, how crass…
-
The numbers may be against us, but we shall still succeed! 😛
-
I’m not against it, I support it wholeheartedly
-
The situation that was meant for was a LoL match where you are on the opposing team. Perhaps I should have said that before…
-
I’m wondering if you regret encouraging us. I’m at work until ten and have to amuse myself somehow. I’m watching the clock and numbers never seems to move fast enough.
-
-
-
People are doing numbers puns? That doesn’t add up, wordplay can be a little divisive as it doesn’t always appeal to the lowest common denominator, often leaving us with a remainder of prime suspects are aren’t participating.
That doesn’t actually make sense, but there is a great sum of puns in there.
-
That was unquantifiably awesome.
-
All that I’m willing to concede is that it is a non-zero amount.
-
Is it possible that the number doesn’t actually exist and actually some factor of i?
-
Be rational.
We’d be rooted if we were dealing with imaginary values of awesome.
-
Don’t be obtuse. That’s not the right angle to approach this from. Oh, numbers is having a party and he said you can come if you bring acute girl with you. Be there or be Squared. Oh my, I seem to have gone on a tangent.
-

…
…
That’s the only intelligent thing I can add to this conversation. -
I like that contribution. Have 3.15 pieces of pie. This thread is slowly multiplying!
-
(It’s actually 3.14)
-
“I’m looking for some order, some order please, with the eyes forward, and the hands neatly… folded, and the paying of attention–
“Pi is exactly THREE!”
-
I must have rounded up subconsciously because Lamboman007 deserves as much pie as he can get. I’m starting to run out of pie though, so you only get 1.618 pieces for noticing my mistake. Enjoy the nice golden crust. The secret is having the right ratio of egg in the batter.*
*NB: I know nothing about cooking pie.
-
I’m glad you pointed that out Bish, as I would have too (3.141592654(technically the last number there is 3 but it is rounded up)
-
Or 22/7, if you’re silly. Funny thing, no one uses that in university maths. They are pi snobs, I guess.
-
-
-
D’:
i dont get these number puns.
Dumbass is dumb
-
The reason for the puns is due to Lucifer9783 being generally referred to as ‘numbers’ on team speak. Then someone went and said something along the lines of “if you need me to fill in numbers” and it went from there.
The meaning of the individual puns? just do what I do and smile like you understand and then head to google the moment nobody is looking.
i was going to ask something but now i forgot it
Re-listening to the main themes of Morrowind and Oblivion and then hearing the theme of Skyrim is such a soothing experience. <3
Wondering if I should preorder Skyrim… where's the place with the best value (including special editions)?
-
I paid all my monies to EB, but now I find they don’t have the proper collectors edition (read: big ass dragon statue), so I’m shopping around too.
-
I was going to order mine form GAME but that’s mainly because I’ve got a gift certificate.
-
amazing!
i don’t think i posted on here yesterday, so to make up for it, J-POP PARTY!!!!
-
There aint no party like a J-Pop party, cause a J-Pop party don’t stop.
No matter how much you want it to.
-
I’m tempted to watch but my colleges already think I’m crazy when I burst out laughing at trjn’s first number pun comment. Reading it out to then didn’t help and I suspect J-pop would help even less.
-
No, show them the J-Pop, they will have instant respect for you.*
*may not have desired effect, in fact, most likely the opposite will happen
-
One of them just tired to tear her ears off. Is that a sing of respect?
-
Though now she’s made me look up the Japanese band singing in Kill Bill
-
-
-
auto tune.. so damn over auto tune…
-
Didn’t sound auto-tuned to me.
Admittedly, I didn’t listen to it all.
And I’m not an expert.
-
I am king of the kill-stealers!
-
A challanger appears for Stevo-the-devo?
-
We’ve proven that I’m not cursed!
-
We’ve discovered an anomaly…
-
Did you guys win? 😀
-
My team won.
When Blaghs was on my team, he was part of the winning team. When he was not, he was not :p
-
When Blaghs has not been on my team, I have won 5/6 times.
COINCIDENCE?? -
COINCIDENCE!
-
-
-
Lane with Techy for best results.
-
ಠ_ಠ
-
You’re the judge, man!
Only you can decide who the best kill stealer between me, Steve-O and Trjn is!
Judge first hand!-
Steve-O and Bunny don’t lane with me as much as you do, mainly because if Steve-O and I go on the same lane, the other double lane we risk making a feed-fest while we go godlike on our opponents. Of course that’ll mean little if the two others get fed and start ganking mid for more kills too. Bunny and I usually split up as well since he’s best tagged up with Steve-O (As we’ve seen first hand how effective it is).
So, Bish you win in kill stealing me no contest. Blaghman is closely behind you in kill stealing however.
-
When I team up with Steve0, he effectively has 3 boots.
-
You two were such hard nuts to crack when Pyrean and I were up against you on that bottom lane. So frustrating
-
-
Dammit I was going to hop on last night, I really want to try Caitlyn but then Garrus started calling me…
-
You gotta be quick, we quickly got to 10 people last night, and I switched out in order for CrabJiffy to join the second game.
-
but… Garrus!!
-
Garrus and his supreme Turian badassery can wait! The League needs and calls for your blade/staff/fists/firearm/whatever-character-you-use’s-weapons!
-
Geez Harli get your priorities right! 😛
I have found it hard to allocate gaming time to single player pursuits since getting into LoL though. The Witcher 2 and a few other games remain uncompleted…I think I rather playing LoL with the Kotaku peeps though more so just for the social aspect.
-
+9001
-
Oh all right.. he’s always blowing me off for those calibrations anyways…
-
-
Should not try new charaters in a NON-BOT game! Or die 99999timess!!!!! lol
Yay, it’s 12am!
Now, since I suck at sleeping I was just having a read through TAY, and I thought the Ride of Nightmares ad said “You didn’t save that word document!” Which I thought was a genuinely terrifying thing to put in an ad. It also reminded me of a plan I have to one day make a truly unsettling “Haunted House” ride thingy. With like, a corridor of manikins, and as you walk down it some of them turn their heads to look at you and stuff. Tired me is odd.
Should i get a haircut or wait ??
Man my exsistence is fairly easy!
-
The most logical thing to do is cut half of your hair. I’m sure you can get away with it too and be a hipster.
-
Combover if it looks bad!
Because out of all the combovers I have seen, none of them have ever looked terrible EVER.-
i already rock the comb over.
-
-
I do like being a hipster!
-
It’s appeared.
It’s actually available for sale.
Kid you not:

Can’t believe it. 🙂

Now, down to business:
For my Kudos prize about a month ago, Mark said that if some brave Kotaku member wrote up a reader review of The Lesser Evil, he would publish it (which of course is just one reason this place is so awesome).
Any takers (smiling sweetly)?
-
You get prizes for Kudos?
-
You do – you just don’t get them sent to you 😛 lol
-
If Josephine can find her way to your house :p
-
Depends on Josephine’s mood, really.
-
-
The more you post that, the more I want to track you down, terminate you and take it from you, human! >.<
-
:O !!
I always thought you were a good robot.. on our side and all..
-
I’m a huge fan of Sonic. He’s my childhood hero and I wanted that statue so much back then when it was put up as the Kudos prize. If he keeps waving it in front of me like a child going “na-na-na-na na naaa!”, the first steps of the robot apocalypse will come, and he will be first.
Yes I am on your side, just don’t try to test my patience and you have nothing to fear 😛
-
/gulp. Noted.
-
*Resists urge to post it again*
-
-
-
woah – that’s stupid cheap, too! Nice!
Tell you what – after i’m done spending money trying to win that god-forsaken chainsword, i’ll pick up a copy for sure 😀
is there any other place other than amazon. Mainly cause it will cost like 4million dollars shipping if i order from there.
-
At today’s exchange rate it was $19.08 delivered. 🙂
-
Logical conclusion: buy more stuff to offset the shipping price. That’s how it works, right guys?
-
Wow that is actually a good idea. Hopefully i can get some cool stuff as well as shanes book.
-
Yeah, I thought it would be a great excuse to buy some other stuffs too, I added a couple of other things to my cart and I was about to press the pay button and then I realised it’s not Thursday like I thought, it’s Wednesday and I only had $20 in the bank until tomorrow. Luckily when I removed everything else it was enough to grab his book.
-
Not my usual area of writing, but I’ll be reading it anyhow so there’s a slim possibility of me doing up a review for you.
Emphasis on slim.
More importantly, congrats.
Yay! I really wish I had an internet buying card right now. :/
3 hours 16 minutes to twelve, and counting 😀
-
What happens at 12?
-
The Windows 8 Developer Preview comes out then. It’s an almost full version of one of the Windows 8 betas for development purposes, it’s missing the appstore and the Live apps (mail, xbox live(?) things like that), but I’ll finally be able to try out the new UI with it! Also, it’s free! 😀
-
i thought you were an apple fanboy? lol
-
Haha, no I’m not an Apple fanboy. I just haven’t used android much before 🙂 (ignorance is bliss, isn’t it?)
-
-
Lambo are you a window’s developer??? Man you are one smart kid, way smarter than i was at your age!
-
I’m not an official Windows Developer (I don’t have a windows developer account thingy), it’s more of a hobby. I like game programming most though.
Also, you don’t need a Microsoft Developer account to get the Windows 8 developer preview, it’s available to everyone 😀
As for me being smart, thanks :). But I’m pretty sure there would be areas where you were smarter than me when you were my age. For instance, I know almost nothing about cars. Or cricket. I know too much about mowing though… -
I convinced my workplace to pay the $1000 or whatever it is to sign me up to the Microsoft Developer Network. All I’ve really gotten out of it were legitimate copies of windows to replace my, er….’student’ editions from uni.
Anyways nice work Lambo – I wish I had gotten into development earlier, it’s so much easier to experiment with your own ideas when you’re at school/uni and have free time.

So after Mr. What has been doing so well with adding to his shirts, i’ve updated my red bubble… slightly
http://www.redbubble.com/people/chuloopa/portfolio
Once exams are done and dusted in a few weeks time i’m hoping to have a few more designs in 🙂
-
I’m an inspiration!
Realised you weren’t on my watch list. You are now.
I’m watching you.
Like a HAWK!
Morning all!
I picked up the Dead Island Collector’s Edition last week, but the missus was not as happy as I was with the purchase.
Due to this I’m selling the PS3 Turtle Beach P11 that was bundled with the game to recover some of the costs.
Looking to offload it for around $60. Its brand new and still sealed in the box, send me a message on FB (via name link) if your interested.
-
lol damn – don’t you just hate when that happens?
The irony is that girls come home with clothes they never needed all the time – Bee has actually done this a couple of times this year with changing seasons.. lol
oh well
I’d buy it but i don’t really have any use for it – sorry mate – good luck.
Also – at least you still have the game to enjoy 🙂
-
See Blaghman there are benefits to being single – you can buy whatever the F*** you want.
-
yes you can if YOU HAVE A JOB. Sorry i jst like taunting blaghikins. But yeah i buy whatever i want continually it’s not as fun as human interaction.
-
I buy whatever the f*ck i want and its GREAT
-
-
I have a girlfriend AND I buy whatever I want.
Just another reason why I’m the greatest.
Also I can moonwalk.
-
you also make hillarious internet video’s with ridiculously high special effects. Whereas kid getting hit in the groin gets 1 million views you get 70. The world isn’t fair sometimes.
-
I got hit in the groin once.
In the middle of Surfers Paradise as I was talking to some girls.*
I can tell you there’s a lot more crying and laughter than (then?) what’s portrayed in those YouTube videos.
*When I say ‘Talking To Girls’, I don’t want you to think I mean ‘Hitting On’, I was asking them if they’d seen Star Wars as we were debating whether or not the Death Star had conventional engines in order to move itself into orbit around it’s target.
We never reached a consensus but the settled upon theory was that the Death Star possessed a light-speed engine and the reason it had so many engineers on the bridge was that they needed to come out of light-speed within the gravitational pull of their target planet. Therefore a slight miscalculation would cause the Death Star to crash into a planet or be slingshot into space from gravitational pull.
Why didn’t the rebels just do that? Like, sneak on board and kill an engineer, sabotage their maths and then watch as it crashed into a planet?
Granted you’d be sacrificing a planet and one rebel, but from what I’ve seen of the Star Wars universe, most planets are a bit shit.
Just find an uninhabited swamp planet ala Dagobah and then leak some communications that the Rebels have a base there (Oh but the Empire would see through that, you say. Hoth is my rebuttle, they went and looked on Hoth, they’d go and look on Dagobah 2) Then sneak on to the Death Star, kill an engineer, sabotage Maths, watch as you get rid of a mosquito filled planet and the most terrifying weapon in the galaxy.
-
Always the best stories. /hi5’s
-
Agreed Dan is a super story teller!
-
-
I love this story.
-
You say that like there wouldn’t be some form of automation, though.
Have the engineers do the math by hand whilst they’re on training to understand the principles behind it, but surely once you have space travel, death rays and lightsabers under your belt as a civilisation, you’d probably have computers that can do math. -
Also, the way hyperspace engines work in Star Wars, they don’t function in gravity wells (hence interdictor cruisers). So the Death Star would have been dragged out of lightspeed before it reached the point where gravity would be strong enough to pull it into the planet.
-
Why weren’t you two women when I needed you.
Selfish.
-
Only on Friday nights!
-
-
Brilliant! Last night I was getting annoyed at lugging my headphones between work and home and was considering buying a headset. And now you’re selling stuff!
Sorry guy,
Got the 7.1 surround Sony headset for that.
I get where you’re coming from. Don’t really want to have the conversation with my lovely lady about why I now have 2 PS3s. Hopefully I can convince her she’s seeing double.
I need to buy a second Wii and TV to carry off the illusion…
-
Ooh, how are the Sony ones? Or are they still in transit? I heard they are somewhat flimsy-ish.
-
Not got them yet…
But now I’m not confident in my purchase..
Damn you!
-
Problem? 😀
Don’t think you should worry about it too much, the review was by IGN. Normally I stay away from IGN, but this seemed to be the only review on the internet, so I just read it. It does seem very cool though.
-
-
-
Yeah, she’s normally doesn’t have a problem with me buying games, it didn’t help that I picked up Portal 2 and Space Marine on the same day 😉
I’ll throw them up on eBay this afternoon and should be able to offload them.
So i bought shane’s book on amazon, and i also picked up haunted knight, Blackest Night for my dc comics collection i am amassing. I do like me some good graphic novels.
-
Nice one!
Haunted Knight is badass.
I feel like I haven’t bought funny books in ages.
Has anyone read the Arkham Asylum/City bridging mini-series?
S’it worth buying?
-
NO sadly i haven’t although i have heard they are not to bad. With batman i have kinda stuck with Jeff Loeb, and a few other choice ones. I might have to invest in the mini bridge stuff. I bought Arkham asylum not to long ago, the comic and it was pretty rad!
-
Oh damn, I forgot about that! I bought the first three for the Asylum-City bridging, I should go and get the other 3 if they’re out. But to answer you’re question, I did enjoy what I have read so far. Not mind blowingly awesome, but not terrible. Just good.
-
Okay guys, Destiny and Sheth, a couple of SC2 pros, are streaming right now for charity.
All ad revenue from the streams will go to Doctors Without Borders and Justin.tv will match that amount.
Even if you don’t care about SC2 in the slightest, open these streams, mute them and have them running in the background: Destiny’s stream, Sheth’s stream.
More viewers = more money, it’s that simple.
Also, they’re pretty cool dudes and their streams are generally pretty entertaining. So you can actually watch the streams if you’re so bold.
-
The Sheth link is borked, here it is again without HTML tags for me to screw up: http://www.twitch.tv/liquidsheth
-
You are forever the humanitarian..
As long as it involves sc2 streams 🙂-
Slacktivism at its finest.
Except this actually achieves something.
-
-
15 player free for all?
-
Done! muted and running in background. Does it boost views if I refresh as well?
-
Refreshing forces another ad view, so I guess that would help boost the revenue. But it doesn’t change the viewers because I think it only counts the people actively watching (so you won’t get counted twice).
Not sure we should try to game the system too much here anyhow. Unmuting Destiny every once in a while should result in lulz.
He is the guy behind the four ‘festor hit squad after all.
-
Ah. I would love to listen but I am alas in the office. Hence the mute ;P
-
Also, I actually have very little interest in watching streams/other people play games, as I’d much rather be playing myself.
-
I have the opposite problem, streaming is easier than playing because I can do other things whilst still somehow allocating some mental ability to the game.
Laziness, I have mastered it.

Ohhhh a game is starting!
Hugo the Hungarian Barbarian
And Clubby the Clubbing Club
In
Curse of the Dead Island.
As Hugo settled down at his desk, thought quickly turned to his current quest, that which had been plaguing him for a week, the thorn in his side, the pickle on his hamburger; the Curse of the Dead Island.
Left languishing in doubt and trepidation, Hugo was convinced that TODAY would be the day where he would finally break this curse. He would either succeed and claim his prize, or forever suffer the loss of this mighty object.
Turning to his stalwart companion, Clubby the Clubbing Club. Hugo remarked,
“We will see an end to this my friend”, Hugo declared “one way or another”.
As Hugo turned on the magic box that would allow him to communicate with mystical beings and his noble friends of the almighty TAY, Hugo’s first customer of the day entered the mighty halls of the library.
“Yaaarrrggghhh” Hugo roared in greeting.
“Aaaahhhhh” the customer screamed in reply, as she ran from the library.
“Mmmm” Hugo pondered, “she must have had an urgent meeting she had forgotten about”.
With the magic box now glowing with its magicalness, Hugo began his hunt for the current details of the Curse of the Dead Island.
“Clubby” Hugo said as he looked at his constant companion, “I have grave doubts about this endeavour”.
Clubby’s strong silent support was enough to reassure Hugo.
“Indeed my truest friend” Hugo declared, “We shall show no fear, no hesitation. We will remain strong and come through this together”
Clambering atop his desk and holding aloft the mighty Clubby, Hugo shouted,
“By the power of Arany Atyácska, I HAVE THE POWER”
With the almost glowing approval of Clubby empowering him, Hugo entered into the dreaded Big W.
A deathly still fell upon the deserted library, Hugo knew this would have to be careful, one false move here would mean he would have to login in all over again.
With a studied carefulness, Hugo entered in the complex algorithm that would allow him to traverse the terrifying Big W.
“By all the Gods Clubby’ Hugo panted at the great Clubby, “Having to memorise a six lettered word was one of the hardest things I have had to do” Clubby looked on the a sympathetic look on his mighty oaken features.
“But if this will allow me victory over the Curse of the Dead Island, those hours of study will have been worth it”.
As a tense silence filled the halls of the Library, a shrill ring filled the air.
“By the frozen pits of Hell” Hugo yelped as he nearly fell out of his chair “Tis only the speaking device” Hugo was sure Clubby seemed reassured by this declaration.
“Yaaarrrggghhh” Hugo bellowed in greeting down the phone line.
“Aaaaiiiieeee” came the scream in reply, as the connection was suddenly cut.
“Ah” Hugo remarked to Clubby’s quizzical look “that must have been Wilhelm saying good morning, wasn’t that nice of him” Clubby’s look of pleasure confirmed Hugo’s belief that Wilhelm was really a nice guy, even if he did scream a lot.
Turning once more to the task at hand, Hugo completed the ritual of entry, and began his search for news on the sacred object that he had yearned for, for lo these many days.
“This is it Clubby” Hugo said nervously to the ever calm Clubby, “Once more into the breach dear friend”. Clubby’s features remained strong and his quiet confidence gave Hugo the strength to complete the final task of his quest.
Selecting the sequence of runes which would reveal to Hugo the current condition of the object of his desire, Hugo reminisced about all that had come leading up to this point.
“A long strange journey this has been my friend” Hugo softly said “many have walked this same path before us, some having succeeded, others having had the prize snatched away from them most unfairly” With Clubby by his side, Hugo knew that he could, nay, he would go on and claim his beloved relic.
“Do or Die Clubby” Hugo shouted as the magical box displayed the results.
Would Hugo claim that which he desired?
Would Hugo and Clubby be once more triumphant in their ongoing journey?
Or would Hugo fail in that which he sought?
Status.
Shipped.
“YA HAHAHAHAHA” Hugo screamed at the top of his lungs.”
“Success Clubby, do you see? Success!” Clubby’s quiet exultation was plain to see for the happy Barbarian.
“By the blood of the ancestors Clubby” Hugo shakily said to Clubby, “I had my doubts there right at the end. Although others had succeeded I was sure that we would lose out on this one”
Clubby’s features contained a mirthful look, “Yes my friend I know” Hugo said to his somewhat smug looking club ”You never had any doubts that this would be our outcome, but unlike you, I am only a simple barbarian”.
“A simple Barbarian I may be” Hugo said, then with a might leap to the checkout desk Hugo roared for all to hear,
“However this day Hugo the Hungarian Barbarian will have his Dead Island”
The End.
-
Ha, Wilhelm.
I get it.
-
Welcome my brother.
Let us bow our head for a moment in remembrance for the many that have not succeeded in their quest for the sacred object.
May they find peace.
-
Amen brother.
Amen.
*pours out some mead on the ground*
For the fallen.
-
-
Loved it.
Hope your game arrives soon.
-
Success! Huzzah!
-
Hurray 😀 That was a nice read too!
-
Thanks all for your kind words and support.
Though it was a tumultuous journey, fraught with many a danger, I believe Clubby and I have come out the stronger for it and now even have enough XP to level up.
I was thinking of going for the Bigger Belly perk, this would allow me to carry more inventory.
I think Clubby is looking at the Feather Weight perk, I think he feels he is getting a little bit heavy.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-09-13-ea-explains-bf3-xbox-360-disc-split
“Disc one features the stunning multiplayer, co-op levels and HD installation content”.
What the hell does that mean?
I understand the multiplayer, and co-op (which is another form of multiplayer) but what is the “HD installation content”?
-
Uncompressed pre-rendered cut scenes?
-
You missed the bit where it has STUNNING multiplayer! Not just multiplayer, but STUNNING multiplayer.
I’m hoping that the HD installation content might just mean you can install both discs and only use disc 1 to play both things. Or maybe it’s just buzzwords to confuzzle you.
-
it’s the type of multiplayer that your girlfriend slaps you for looking at as you pass it by
-
Am I the only one that thinks “stunning’ multiplayer is just … foolish.
Multiplayer games are all about reflexes and such generally when you are stunned, by the multiplayer, your reflexes are null thus ruining the multiplayer aspect of the game.
-
You’re wrong!
*waits for MW3 press release which talks about FABULOUS team deathmatch modes*

-
Anybody happen to know where i could buy pre-order DLC for space marine, that isn’t ebay – i know some sites occasionally have the stuff for sale – little help 🙂
-
It’ll be on the store soon enough.
-
won’t they release to buy online in the next few weeks?
Failing that, contact THQ. Take pics of your box set and receipt and proclaim “MY DLC ISN’T IN HERE! WHERE IS IT, HEATHENS!? I NEED CODES!”
they should then email you your codes.
It worked with me and EA.
Hell, I managed to blag free DLC that I WASN”T supposed to get.
-
i already emailed them.. .they were stubborn and said “all dlc was sent out to the stores”
So basically they said there was nothing i could do… bloody bastards 😛 lol
-
Just keep emailing. Tell them the store says they didn’t get it.
Mo fo’s owe you DLC!
-
-
So, dat LoL huh? Think I’ve found my support champion in Karma. She’s very flexible – can run as either an AP Mage, aura support, semi-tanky support or a combination. Wasn’t good enough to get the win in the first Kotaku 5v5 last night but I got lots of assists!
-
Buy Teemo and learn how to play him just to spite you all, Y/N?
-
I’m seriously considering buying Temo a go as I usually play ranged dps or support and apparently he is both.
Also I can’t wait to try out Nocturn tonight.
-
-
I’m sticking with Rammus in our 5v5s from now on. If I go Kennen I get focussed and killed so darn roughly… the poor kitty
-
Yeah you do get focused (thunder-cat is too dangerous), but it shouldn’t be too big an issue if you have a good initiator/tank, your positioning is good and the enemies don’t flank. Comes down to circumstance I guess.
-
Don’t be a P—y
(actually do, because he’s awesome.)
-
-
Flexible ey?
Also yeah use her, not Veigar. 🙁-
Ahh Jo I got a good start, but you guys focused me down easily end-game – remember I had the most time spend dead.
-
-
I still want to try her out a little more. Such a nifty little character but looks like it might be hard to master her.
That Mantra ability…
-
That’s going to be the biggest thing to learn in mastering Karma – managing your mantra charges. They can make or break a team engagement, but you don’t want to hold onto them wastefully either.
-
Apparently cooldown reduction let’s you recharge stacks quicker, so that seems like something to focus on early with her.
-
Yeah I don’t know if you saw my build last night but I had the boots of lucidity and spirit visage for the cool-down reduction I think. Cool-down reduction is a must – her abilities don’t do massive damage, but are spammable and are aoe.
-
-
-
-
Good work Bish and Rocketman as well; you played good Tank/Offtank in that last game.
And I apologise to my team in both games, I have been getting unreasonably frustrated with LoL lately.-
I know that feeling, LoL seems to be bringing out the rage in me lately.
-
-
BTW, I hate you 😛
Morning! o/
Somehow I forgot to press ‘submit comment’ an hour ago…
-
I did that one time and when the page refreshed, I was already 2 pages behind.
-
Morning Crabgal! At least you posted correctly and not as a reply to someone. I’ve gotten mixed up before and posted good morning messages randomly in the middle of conversations :/
-
BTW – I’m just trialing Crabgal, seeing as Crabman got bawble from dawdle, this is just going the other way around, and I am in no way implying that you have crabs.
-
CrabJiffy’s nickname comes from this:

Good morning Miss Dawdle!
-
dawdle! !
I have a question for you!
-
What’s up Harli?
-
-
and that’s why we love you
MORNING!
-
do not be decived! i think she just woke up!
-
How would you know if you’ve been playing LoL for nearly 2 hours in the morning already?! Aha.
-
-
Can’t find it at the moment, but I’ve seen a similar thing, except replace the smurf with Peter Dinklage in green body paint 😛
Skyward Sword is looking amazing. Give us an AU release date, Nintendo!
-
Completely agree. This will be the reason i don’t pull my wii apart for the next couple of months. I really like pulling stuff apart and figuring out how it works.
-
Hell-yeah! Some awesome RPG love coming to the wii. Just gotta get mine back from my sister so I can play Xenoblade! That should tide me through till Skyward Sword I hope.
You’ll all be happy to know I’m over confusing things with Jamezilla.
I’ve noticed that some comments don’t seem to be instantly approved. Is it that new names need to go through mods before the insta comments works or am I just imagining things?
-
No you are right, When it is not a regular handle that has been used before a moderator has to approve it. A useful trick to stop spambots.
-
Hooray for Kotaku.au anti spam measure!
It’s hard enough to keep up with TAY without having to wade through advertising spam.
-
Magic: The Gathering 2012 – Complete Bundle is now $17.99 for the Steam Midweek Madness sale.
Is it worth getting for someone who’s never played MTG or CCG games on the computer before?
-
I got it with no prior knowledge. It isn’t really that hard to pick up but its quite difficult to master. I was able to understand and beat the first 2 guys after a few tries. It does take a bit of practice and knowing what the cards do and stuff. but is still quite enjoyable.
Just wanted to give a shout out to the good ol’ Doctor What? for giving me a free code to DA2 DLC content. He’s a top bloke.
-
Gifts and giveaways and other nice things in the KotakuAU community is awesome! \o/
By the way, I replied to you on the last page in case you didn’t see it. : )
-
Oh yes!
Thank you – saw that. I’ll write it here in case my question is missed.
When you upgraded your laptop from 1GB RAM to 2GB did you feel that it made a significant difference in speeds for day to day applications?
-
I wouldn’t say a significant difference after the upgrade, because my netbook’s sucky CPU and graphics card still drag down the performance, but it’s still better than not being able to run Minecraft at all on 1GB RAM.
I’m not really good at describing things so I hope you understand what I mean.
-
P.S. It’s not costly at all to buy new RAM, so why not?
-
Thanks for the input dawdle!. Decisions decisions..
-
-
-
-
we are quite awesome aren’t we!
Hope it worked okay!
Think of me everytime your ring of whispers… uh… whispers… ringy things…
Good Morning Everyone! 😀
Did I miss much?
I thought I’d start today off with a confession. Everytime I watch the DBZ movie “Cooler’s Revenge”, I tear up when the song “Change” by the Deftones comes on and Goku turns Super Saiyan.
-
Confession: I have tried to use Kamehameha. Many times. Most recently about a fortnight ago. Somehow, I can never quite pull it off :/
-
I try this about once a month, thinking I’ve somehow unlocked my ki and it will work. Have also tried flying 😛
-
I can’t use Ki… so I’m getting a jetpack
-
I’m getting a cloud I can stand on.
-
Now I shall imagine you as Android 17.
-
Yeah he’s a badass!
-
I hope you own a red kerchief to go around your neck. And have ripped jeans 😛
-
Not a fan of the ripped jeans but a red kerchief? I’d be up to having one of those! Though mine would probably be blue
-
Blue kerchief could work too, but you wouldn’t be Android 17 then. You could be a prostitute robot from the future though?
-
…No
-
Bernard! Look! Look, Bernard! Look!
-
-
-
I have tried (multiple times) to turn Super Saiyan and I have come to the conclusion that I must not be a Saiyan 🙁
-
Have you tried being near death?
-
Isn’t it mainly coming from the power of loss? I think Goku said that to Gohan once…
-
Goten just seems to ignore this law so why can’t I?
-
Yeah because in those seasons they threw all the possible lore out the window and just got ridiculous 😛
-
They did…and remember Dragonball GT? *shudders*
-
As far as I’m concerned, it never existed. It’s like indiana jones and it’s 4th *shudders* movie… that never existed in my processors.
-
So how bout that live action Dragon Ball movie?
That was some pretty accurate and sweet writing there.
*Quickly flies away*
-
You know that I have quite the hand with a sniper rifle, no? And your name is just begging to be tested..
-
I consider it canon just because I think Super Saiyan level 4 looks like a much better final Saiyan level then level 3.
Level 3s long hair = ugly.
-
Just remember Harli, you need to make the Headshot look NooB
geddit?
Yo dawg, we heard you wan t to be Super Saiyan, so we killed your parents.
so wrong, but HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Glad you liked it 😛
also guilty of this
-
Oh Bish.

buh-dum-tish
Aaaaaand Windows 8 developer preview is downloading. Actually can’t wait to check it out!
-
Same here, it’s looking awesome isn’t it?
And somehow, I managed to miss the release by an hour :/-
It looks amazing. I’m really excited to try out all the new features. That “refresh your PC” option looks like it will make things for IT people a LOT easier, that should have been implemented a long time ago. Also loving the interface and the fact that you can have the Metro UI and the normal Windows UI running side by side on seperate monitors. Very excited for this…is there any idea of a release date?
-
I’m interested to see how it works on business computers… that GUI looks like it would confuse the hell out of people used to the older desktop.
-
It’s very easy to switch between the new Metro UI and the traditional UI. I would guess they would just use the traditional UI instead of the Metro, although it looks pretty intuitive..

It’s always been Lylat Wars to me.
I remember wishing as a kid that I could get the nintento to cough up the money you earn at the end of the game.
could not stop laughing at this point

I want to give a shoutout to Lamboman007. He sent me a steam gift copy of NFS:HP.
You’re a champion among humans Lamboman… except when on LoL but I hope I can coach you to lowering your death score. 🙂
-
Ohh, I bought this last night. Have a race some time?
-
You’re on! I’m a good pilot and gunman but a horrible driver 😛
-
Yes, definitely, we need to do some MP sometime soon 🙂
Just be warned though, what I lack in LoL skills, I more than make up for in racing skills 😀-
I’m pretty horrible. The only racing game I’ve played more then a lap or 2 of since Mario cart 64 was NFS: Shift. I have to drive with a joystick because I don’t have any other device with varying degrees in input.
-
-
-
-
niiice 🙂
-
I could use all the coaching I can get 🙂
Also, while we are on the subject of gifts, I am now the proud owner of Plants vs. Zombies: GOTY…Thanks AP??

Everyone put your hands up if you are going to trade your 3DS for a PS Vita?
My personal opinion is that its too little to late for Nintendo which just now seems to be basing their devices on whichever gimmick seems popular at that moment – 3d and next is the Wii U with its touch screen controller.
But as with everything it has potential but Nintendo nor developers are just not fully utilising whatever the main selling point would be, For the Wii, how many games say “motion controls” but only use a simple waggle and more recently “full 3d” but looks like a cheap after effect.
I do agree with the earlier post that the Nintendo 3DS just feels like one massive beta test, and one question that is on my mind is how many times can Nintendo jump off a cliff and its fans blindly follow?
-
If you’ve been stung by the 3DS, would you just blindly convert to the PSV, though (assuming you can only have one? Can’t see why you can’t have both)?
Most definitely gameplay over gimmicks, but just because the Wii U and the 3DS are more gimmicky doesn’t immediately mean they’ll be the inferior consoles, relative to the others in their generation.
Games define a system. 3DS has gotten off to a bad start. I don’t remember much from E3 Sony, but the only remotely interesting thing was Uncharted. So the PSV could have an equally bad start.
We’ll see how things go in 2012 before we can really judge.-
Um… dont put words in my mouth… i have never said that the Wii U or 3DS were or are inferior, i cant say much about the Wii U but the 3DS is capable of some amazing things but (i cant stress this part enough) in my opinion developers and Nintendo aren’t fully utilising what the 3DS is truly capable of.
At the moment (and again this is my personal opinion), i cant say that the PS Vita is going to be better but i am not getting my monies worth with my 3DS ATM, maybe i’ll feel a bit different when some decent games are released for it.
-
Well then my apologies, sir.
I just thought the tone of the first line made the rest of the comment a bit ragey.I was going to expand a bit more though; I think the more solid DS games came out when everyone got over the “OMG TOUCH SCREENZ” thing. I didn’t buy my DS on release, so I can’t exactly say what the early days were like. I do remember Nintendogs luring all the, uh, ‘casuals’ (for a lack of better term), and I think Super Mario 64 DS was in there somewhere too? But apart from that, nothing particularly notable in the launch-ish window, IIRC.
I really can’t fathom how they ballsed up the 3DS launch window, but yeah, definitely needs time. And by “time” I mean “games”. Totally understand that you’re not getting much use of it right now.
-
-
yeah Bish don’t put words in peoples mouths.
-
Yeah, you manage to dig your own hole without anybody else saying anything!
;D
-
-
-
I won’t be giving up my 3ds. number 1 it isn’t worth enough to bother and 2 i really like the older games you get with the ambassador program. I have been playing mario and metroid fairly frequently. If it eventually gets cracked so i can play old pokemon games i will keep it forever.
-
I bought my 3DS because it was cheap, I could play it on a long plane flight I had lined up and there was Ocarina of Time.
I didn’t play it on the plane, I’ve barely played OoT but I will not be getting rid of it because I’ve already sunk the money into it and trading it in seems like a waste.
Might as well just wait for games and if they don’t come, then I can sell it off.
But if good games do come, then there’s no reason to abandon ship just yet.
-
I absolutely agree with you, around christmas is when we are going to see some decent games but IMO these games like Mario Kart and MGS (which are games that are going to sell well and most probably boost device sales) should have been launch titles.

Holy crap – this guy seriously rapes drums….

Look at him – it’s like the incredible hulk took up a hobby and developed the moves of the flash!
-
Someone is in a very drummy mood.
-
yeah no idea why – was listening to a song and those links on the right hand to other videos just look so good then before you know it, there goes another half hour
-
My sister plays snare drum in the same band I’m learning the bagpipes with. She Idolises these guys:
-
hahaha they are pretty great – you have to admit.
I’ve always like the Edinburgh military tattoo
-
If you didn’t watch to the end they actually start shooting fireworks from their drums and set their sticks on fire. Crazy people.
-
-
I’ve met them… and been drinking with their leading tip.
You can tell her that they are universally hated.
They practice on these big rope tensioned drums all hours of the God Damned day. Starting at 06:55 and going through till lunch… -
While you’re still trying to sleep I take it?
-
Here’s how the tattoo works for pipe bands.
After the show, go drinking… every night.
Crawl in around 3 or 4, go to bed.
Get up and abuse the brass bands or drum corps.
Have lunch.
Tune up, get dressed, go to the castle.Rinse, repeat.
-
Manly will be playing there next year so I’ll find out for myself if I’m good enough by then.
-
Really?
It’s a blast, have a great time.
The tunes are generally of a solid grade 4 calibre, so don’t stress too much.
Get your drill, the general stuff (dressing, counter-marching, slow marching) off… and your chanters need to be set to 450.Manly did Sydney in 2010 didn’t they?
-
Yes, I think that’s when they got invited to the real one.
-
-
You spent half an hour looking at those links on the right hand side???
Pfft, check this cat out.
-
My god – that is so damn awesome!!
AND I LOVE THAT SONG!
-
Rick K and the Allnighters are awesome.
Machine Gun Smith is an awesome drummer, found him on YouTube a few years back nailing some awesome covers of the band which I forget haha.
I’m attempting to watch that twitch SC2 feed in between working. I take it they are playing some kind of mod or game mode I’ve never seen before?
-
Looks like a custom map to me. Not sure what the rules of it are.
My browser crashed thanks to Destiny and Sheth streams. Whenever I tried to glance at them, the streams were choppy as hell.
Damned work computer.
Oh well.
-
Yeah, I’ve got the Destiny one going but I really can’t see much of anything due to lag.

Those Arkham City books are being collected in a HC next month

Thanks dude i think that is a good pick up for next month.
-
Well f**k. I have the first three issues (I got the variant cover for the first issue). I think I’ll probably get this and Shane’s book then. And maybe the walking dead. And maybe game of thrones. Well s**t. This is spiralling out of control pretty quick ლ(゚Д゚ლ)
-
WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Thanks man.
-
m(_ _)m
@Shane
Signed copies…???
-
Agreed can i get you to sign my copy if it comes before the can’d meat. Or a sketch from the book??
-
I can see the Merritt in this idea. Though i’d have to mail it there and back I think.
-
-
I really hope his signature is some sort of awesome illegible Scrawly McScrawlinson one.
-
Yes. As soon as I figure out the best way to logisticise the process, there will be SIGNED COPIES FOR EVERYONE. 🙂
Also, my autograph is still in development, as the only things I have ever signed before are credit card receipts…
Might be scrawly. We’ll have to see what feels natural-ish.
Dire Wolf, I agree with you there, Super Saiyan 4 looked awesome compared to Super Saiyan 3. GT did have some good parts, but it had a lot of bad parts and didn’t have much of the magic that DBZ had.
-
I don’t understand the tail thing.
1. Cut off tail or else you become giant rampaging monkey.
2. Something.
3. Transform into Super Saiyan 4, which has tail.
4. ???-
I think they needed to have their tails to get to SSJ4.
So first the tails are a weakness and can cause them to turn into giant monkeys. They cut off their tails.
Senzu beans somehow fail to restore the tails.
Magic lets them get their tails back and they get their SSJ4 mojo on.
WHY DO I KNOW THIS?
-
Because we grew up in an era of the best morning cartoons ever.
-
Your logic is sound.
-
-
Because you’re awesome! Although how does that explain Goku going SSJ4 for the first time? He didn’t have a tail, then he turned SSJ4 and he did. Then he turned into a giant golden monkey who kicked ass.
-
I never watched GT but didn’t he turn into the golden monkey and then after controlling it was able to transform into the human sized, monkey-like SSJ4?
It goes: normal Saiyan, giant monkey, Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 1.5 (the bulky one that Trunks does against Cell and gets destroyed because he’s too slow), Super Saiyan 2 (Gohan does it first, again against Cell), Super Saiyan 3 (Raditz hair), Super Shiny Mega Golden Monkey, Super Saiyan 4 (true Super Saiyan).
And then stuff.
-
Actually yeah I think you’re right, I haven’t watched GT since I was 14 or so, so it’s been a while 😛
-
When I first saw it on Toasted TV all I could constantly think was “WTF is this shit?!”
-
Same reaction from me. And my local video store only got the seasons in on VHS.
-

-
Pick up that can!

So this Windows 8 Development thingimy jigger.
What exactly is it?
Should I download it?
-
It’s basically the current version of Windows 8, without the App Store or the Xbox Live app functioning. So download it if you want to play around with what Windows 8 will be like..
-
It’s a pre-beta version of Windows 8, mostly meant for developers to get comfortable with creating apps for it. I’ll be downloading it, because I can’t wait to try out the new start screen 😀
So, I finally finished that Sarif Industries mission right at the start of Deus Ex and I’ve been wandering around snooping and breaking into stuff at the office. I’m now outside wandering around snooping and breaking into stuff. It really has the same feel as the original. I love it.

“Yeah sure.”

This one time I went through a vent into an office and snooped around for a bit before I realised there was a lady at her desk in the room.
So awkward.-
Also pretty creepy.
She would have just sat there silently for 3ish minutes watching as I went through her co-worker’s drawers and read their emails.-
I felt so bad breaking into peoples offices as head of security but they gave me little choice. GOOD KARMA AWARDS NO EXP!

Hacking in Deus Ex is so much fun.
You’re f**king kidding me! Windows 8 preview had 5mins left and then it crashed and corrupted its sorry self and I now have to start again! D:
-
Sounds like Windows.
-
I’m downloading it on a Mac though 😛
-
So it’s obviously an Apple conspiracy – the OS saw what you were downloading and tried to stop it. Or maybe it’s a Microsoft conspiracy, where they saw that the user agent ID was for OSX and kicked you off the server to make way for more important Windows-based users. Or maybe it was simply the illuminati. Or the communists.
Point being, definitely a conspiracy.
-
-
-
Ahahahah it’s Windows all right!
-
If that was 5 Windows minutes, you could have been waiting another 7 hours anyhow.
-
Nar Mac bro, Lion bro.
-
Why would you be getting the Win8 preview on a Mac?
You’re wrinkling my brain!
-
Your brain already has wrinkles! And I’m going to be running it in a virtual machine at work. Because it will likely have problems so I don;t want to run it as a main OS.
-
So he can run Linux obviously.

-
Come on Techie…have you not see Black Books?
-
One of the best series ever! (for those who like British humor.)
-
I don’t remember that line…
-
In that episode where they house sit for that guy who is gifting a bottle of wine to the Pope but they drink it so they have to make a bottle of wine and it ends up killing the pope. When they’re in the loungeroom getting drunk, Manny puts cones on his chest and goes “Bernard, Bernard, Bernard, Bernard, Bernard, Bernard”
“WHAT?!”
“I’m a prostitute robot from the future”
-
Ohhhh that so called neck massager, I remember that now! Haven’t seen it in over a year.
*manny in a murmured voice limping into the room* “I have returned”
-
Hahaha it’s so good. Love Black Books! 😛
-
It’s not behind the rhino…
-
-
-
That and the piano one are my two fave episodes.
-
So what does everyone think of the upcoming champion Riven, the Exile?
I think she sound like she could be a lot of fun.
How long does it normally take before a new champion becomes free to play for a week?
-
2-3 weeks after release it seems
-
A couple of weeks after they are available to buy.
-
Talon’s free this week, and that’s… 3 weeks after ‘release’, right?
Also, patch notes:
http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1226662
Nerfs: Brand, Garen
Buffs: Rammus, Sion, Singed
There are more, but those are the characters I’ve seen us play.
Of other note: Shen’s getting a pretty good buff, Leona’s recommended items include cooldown boots and Trinity Force. Now, I’m no Leona expert, but of the few games I space lasered with her, I am preeeeeeetty sure those items don’t really work with her. Maybe cooldown boots. -15% off space laser is pretty cool. But Trinity Force? Really?-
OMG my Rammus play is going to be even better than before!
-
Aww Brands E was short range as it is…
And wow, massive nerf to Mordekaiser, probably needed though but good thing I did not buy him yesterday.
And Tarric is looking kind of useful now…
-
I saw TotalBiscuit showing a bottom lane Taric/Kaitlyn support/carry combo, it was just crazy deadly with their dual stun combo.
-
Indeed, just need an ad carry to lane with though we have few of those.
And yeah Rammus Buff! So happy with the DBC changes, so many times I have lost a chase or flee because of the cast time and the need to switch out before PBing.
-
I watched that too, methinks the same principle should apply with any two characters that get a stun up early as long as one is a AD DPS.
Should make for some fun low level kills.
-
-
-
Sion got buffed! \o/
-
DEMACI….NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
-
Leona Space Laser? Leona is the she-tank who has lots of stuns. Space Laser is Karthus right?
-
Her ulti is a targeted space laser. Karthus has five of the gorramn things.
-
I use the term “space laser” fairly liberally.
Karthus has the red beam, which is almost space lasery.
Leona has some sort of sunlight beam which stuns and slows rather than outright damages, but it’s close enough to be a laser from space.

Just got a new washing machine. Booyah.

I love that feeling – when we got ours it was so glorious – no more damn laundromat to wash
-
Haha yeah, well mum lives about 5mins away so we’ve been doing our washing there but it’s still very annoying :/

BLIND MOWN-
C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
Damn Rocketman you’re on fire today!

i have now used all my material.
Old people jokes, stolen jokes.
unforetunately nothing left now?-
Dick jokes?

Racist jokes.
-
Now you’re on the trolley!
-
-
-
Rocketman, love the shutdown on Neo-Kaiser.
-
i actually hate shutting people down i felt bad so i replied in a bit nicer tone. I think the guy is really just a noob who wants to blame other stuff other than his ability which i can relate to since i suck at gaming soooo bad.
-
I will be the first to proclaim that the recent CoDs (MW2 particularly) have had broken multiplayer, but there is a difference between stating your thoughts in an eloquent manner, or hell, just stating them in a way that doesn’t make you look like a twelve-year old, and being a dick. He is choosing to phrase things like a troll, and as such should be treated like one(With treatment varying depending on how you feel we should respond to trolls).
-
Agreed! So, ahhh, burnt at the stake?
-
BLAGHS i thought you died, or you know slept in.
-
I slept in a bit, but I was awake at 10, I just had NOTHING TO SAY. I hate this feeling.

Scrub logic: X is cheap, I’ll be honorable and not use X. Oh no, my opponent used X, what a cheap whore! They only won because they used X, if they played fair they’d have never beaten me.
Where X = any gameplay mechanic that new players struggle to overcome but is typically easily managed by more advanced players. Basically, the skillgate techniques.
By thinking like that, the scrub will never improve because they don’t learn.
I also hate the word “scrub”, but it’s the only one appropriate here.
Also, my refusal to cheese in SC2 does not count because I’m doing that on the basis that I won’t learn anything by doing it.
-
Another way of thinking about it.
X is part of the game, asking to ban it or refusing to learn to use/negate it means that you’re simply not playing the same game as others.
Fox only, no items, Final Destination!
-
Exactly.
-
CHEESE YOUR WAY TO VICTORY, IT’S THE ONLY WAY!
-
Okay, I’ve built six spawning pools.
Now what?
-
Bahaha.
I’m trying to remember who it was that 13 gated off 2 base in 2vs, but it was hilarious.
-
Cella.
Such a dedicated troll.
-
-
-
Cheese you say?
-
Neo-Kaiser has only been posting negative comments from what I’ve seen of him in the past few weeks. It’s really sad, I wonder how the kid lives at home, must be rough to warrant this… either that or he’s just a brat that likes the thrill of biting against everything posted just because he can
-
I wouldn’t read too deeply into this.
He always complains about cheap/imbalanced/overpowered stuff. So he probably just plays a fair few games but has the completely wrong mindset for competitive gaming.
/says the predominately single player guy.
Think of any other situation where someone comes out as the loser. How often do people acknowledge they were wrong and try to learn from it? Very rarely. That’s all that is happening here.
-
I don’t bother commenting to him cuz you humans have tried and he isn’t bothering to learn his lesson. So let the baby cry himself to sleep
-
Agree with Trjn.
Face it, Neo-Kaiser is just shit.
-
I dunno, his posts make him sound like a douche but that’s his problem. Trolls go away if no-one gives them the attention.
Hooray! finish work in 10 min!
-
ARGH! fellow LOL players, I need your help!
Pyrean was supposed to replace me at work 2pm today but it looks like he isn’t coming in until 5pm.
Next time both him and I are on LoL and there is enough for PVP I want to be on the opposite team, and anyone who’s on his team to feed like mad.
Then we will slaughter him over and over again in a glorious blood bath!
-
Oh, I can help here.
I could play support and not support him!
-
Okay, next match, Pyrean and Gorzilla 1v1 in mid… FIGHT!
-
wait, no!!! he’ll win that!
-
It is not my war Gorzilla, the quarrel is between you and him. You will fight it out in honourable 1v1 combat, or I shall relocate you to my dishonourable humans folder.
-
After I went to all the trouble of programming your Kennen chip?
I should have taken Mum’s tactic and installed a remotely activated loyalty chip while I was at it.
I haven’t fought against him in a game for 7 years because I hadn’t beaten him in one for 3 years before that.
-
You have one of those damn hope im not in it. We are buds right techy, right????
-
I have many subfolders under my “Humans_that_I_know” directory, ranging from “Crushes” and “Highly_Respected” to “Idiotic_Drivers” and “How_The_Hell_Did_They_Evolve_From_Monkeys”
And yes we are buds… doesn’t influence whatever folder I put you in though.
-
Surely tags would be a more efficient system, because there are definitely going to be a few instances where people fall into multiple categories.
-
Hm.. an excellent point indeed. Or a Group system, like users on an operating system, as it influences how I interact with you (Permissions)
-
-
-
The ‘Dishonorable Humans’ folder isn’t that bad, me and Neo-Kaiser have set up camp here and its pretty comfy…
-
I figured you’d be in the DEMACIA! folder.
-
Well following Garren’s recent nerfs and my new found like for Karma I don’t know if I’ll play him as much. I guess it was also a buff for end-game with the increased ad ratio but I’ll have to see how it goes first hand.
-
When we LAN DotA a popular call when your getting angry with another player is “RIGHT! YOU AND ME 1v1 at ROSHAN!” Of course both players entering the 1v1 would bring their entire team to ambush from the fog.
hahaha, yes… You humans are like that pretty often aren’t you?
In the words of my footy coach: “It doesn’t matter if you cheat, as long as you win.”
I no longer take him up on his poker-night invites.
So I can count you in on the plan then Stevo?
I’m thinking we call it operation \o/
Operation backslash-oh-forwardslash, truly a devastating operation.
The idea that someone goes around saying “It’s time for operation *poses in \o/ fashion” amuses me.
Sounds like High School.
“Right! After school, behind the sheds. Me vs you!”
Whoever shows up has 20 mates behind him.
In those situations i said something cool to try and unnerve them like’ “I would but my mum is picking me up today because i need new shoes.”
Ahhh, DOTA. *eyes fog over with nostalgia*
well i wasn’t surposed to start until 5, but i got a text while i was asleep that they needed me early = P.
-
Dude, heath send you a tex you and called you lunch time the day before.
Oh, this has given me an idea for a new game mode. Turbo 1v1 3v3. We play 3 v 3 and the two best people (i’m thinking techy vs pyrean) fight it out. The other two players on each team pick the same characters as each other and do nothing but run at the opposing fighter.
Then it’s a 1v1 for who fights the hardest and feeds the best!
Today is a good day. Not only did I get to go home early but as I arrived home the postman pulled up with my copy of Fear 3 I ordered from ozgameshop about 5 days ago (fastest delivery I’ve ever had). What’s more I’ve got all next week off to enjoy it \o/
-
Did you catch that deal they were having?
-
Yep. I would have prefered it on the 360 (the system I have the first two games on) but that deal was just too good to pass up.
-
15mins left on Windows 8 developer preview…getting pumped.
-
Soooooooooo….. 10 min until crash?
-
DON’T SAY THAT!
-
Yes, and then when he tries it again, Steve Jobs himself will come crashing/flying through his window screaming “DEMACIAAAAA” at the top of his lungs and proceed to start smashing your mac to pieces. Better to exterminate one before it betrays the whole of Cupertino.
-
This is the real reason he stepped down as CEO, so he could go about doing just this.
-
Oh I wish, that would be absolutely hilarious. Plus my work would have to buy me a new computer. Awesome.
-
-
-
I MUST HAVE IT! HERE, TAKE MY CREDIT CARD!
*throws credit card at monitor*
-
I don’t think that’s an approved payment method.
-
No wonder Microsoft wasn’t sending me a copy of Windows 8 this morning…
-
Have you got it installed yet?
-
No, not yet. My dad’s downloading it down at his business, so I’ll be installing it tonight 😀
-
-
-
Oh, really? That would be why the stuff I drunkenly ordered from eBay never turned up..
-
That and you were just yelling at the screen rather than clicking anything
-
… and your computer wasn’t on
-
But..it works in the movies..
-
but they have 12 cores and high scores on ALL the MMOs
-
In my head this seems like a line in a rap.
Bitch I keep them on their toes,
I gots them Elven hos,
I got 12 cores and high scores,
On all the MMOs.I’m the might of Demacia,
I’ll manhandle ya,
If you see me in your lane you’d best run,
My shit’s spectacular.(Yeah, I’m reasonably white)
-
It’s dangerous to go alone take this.
-
Oh, believe me, I know how bad that was. I play in a hardcore band, rap isn’t exactly my strong suit.
-
REALLY? what’s the name of your band?
-
Harley Quinn. So far we haven’t got anything to show for it, but we’re recording demos this week. Excitement!
-
-
JUMANJI!
OHHH YEAHHH
Jamesmag, now coming at you from Windows 8! Like a bawse.
-
What’s it like? What’s it like? Is it everything we hoped and dreamed for??
-
It’s pretty awesome so far. A little confusing so far, trying to figure out how to map network drives and such…
-
Do you think it would be worthwhile buying a cheap windows tablet and putting it on that?
Like this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10-1-Windows7-Intel-CPU-Tablet-PC-MID-WIFI-HDMI-PA8AG-/180640544720?pt=AU_Tablets&hash=item2a0f03f7d0#ht_7744wt_1108-
At this stage, I don’t think so. Probably wait until the proper Beta comes out or for the full release. Some features don’t work. For example, I can’t get sound to work, even though it’s a virtual machine, there’s no device supported and it won’t accept the drivers. I wouldn’t suggest using it as a main OS either, for the reason of drivers. I also can’t figure out an easy way to close apps..you can go to the desktop, go task manager and close them that way, but there has to be a way to do it in the metro ui.

So… Finished TimeSplitters: Future Perfect on Hard mode… Feels good, man. Does/has anyone had/played any of the TimeSplitters games? if not, Do it now. You can be a monkey.

I’ve got #1 and #2 on PS2 – still yet to get future perfect though
-
Also remote controlled cat bombs.

And a robotic fish bowl… Whom I will have a never ending grudge against…

Sorry. I've spent the last 10 minutes with my friend in a unicode faces war.

Oh man… Oh… Oh lordy. I wish my video camera was working so much right now.

Called it.

I’d like to point out that there isn’t a whole lot of competition.
-
Don’t taint my victory with your logic.
-
And I did it without a hint of homo erotic suggestion!!

Which ruins about 60% of my fun. 🙁

It’s always implied 😉

But it’s far more fun when we make it explicit.

You know what you must do.
LoL tonight? LoL tonight.
-
HUH? WHAT?
-
Hi f4ction
Not LoL related, but I keep forgetting to say congrats on the bike.
I’m not one to actively hock my wares, but i do sell bike gear. Would be happy to look after you (or anyone else for that matter)
As a one time only deal my site is linked to my handle…
Normal homepage linkage services will resume shortly.-
I visited your site…and I felt like I was back in the late 1990’s :/
-
Yeah….I’m lazy and haven’t upskilled since high school.
MS Sharepoint FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
Hang on…late 1990’s…
WERE YOU EVEN BORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😉
-
HOW OLD DO YOU THINK I AM?!?!? ELEVEN??!! 😛
-
YOU’RE NOT???!!!!!
hehe…sorry Lambo 🙂
-
-
-
-
Yeah, that’s the vibe I got as well..looks like something I had to make at school for webpage design..
-
Cos it was 🙂
My actual demographic is a bit older and the fancy site i got a mate to do used to scare them away… -
Wow, if I’d made that in my ITM class I would have failed… (That’s not meant as a slight, we just had high standards, and a lot of what we were made to do was designed around avoiding slack design(That said, what we ended up with were usually messes for completely other reasons))
-
I’m talking about the webpage we had to design in year 6..
-
In 1996 Year 12 IT that shiz got me a A-
True story!! -
Well, in its defense it’s a hell of a lot better than what you’d usually find on GeoCities.
-
You shut your face hole, my Geocities site was amazing.
:< -
GeoCities was the 1996 equivalent of Facebook.
True Story!!
-
-
Wow. I just got home and checked. That exact page structure/design but as a Wu-Tang fansite was part of my final practical submission.
The other part was an Excel spreadsheet that calculated the school population and updated the number when a new student was added.
That made up (I think) about 75% of my grade for Year 12 Final Exams.
I hate to think of what would be required now….
And we sell custom bike grips – if you want something with skulls on it 😀 lol
So… over… hearing… about… LoL… *twitch*
-
Let’s discuss Space Marine instead!
-
See, I skip anything related to LoL or Space Marine and I can actually keep up with TAY……..
-
-
I play the damn game and I’m sick of it!
-
I’ve heard it doesn’t even have a cover system… oh wait you meant Lol.
-
-
Pretty sure there’s a character in League of Legends called Twitch.
-
I’m really wanting to “like” this comment.
-
Twitch the ninja rat!!
-
Well I’ve been playing around with Windows 8 for the last hour and a bit. Must say, I quite like it. It’s very fast, even though I allocated the bare minimum specs to it to get it to run. The Metro UI is definitely more touch friendly than it is keyboard/mouse but it’s still easily navigable. It looks very nice, and seems quite functional as well. Pinning and editing the tiles is a breeze and mapping network drives, etc (once I stopped trying to do it how I normally do it) was incredibly easy. The new remote desktop is a lot more user-friendly. I look forward to seeing future releases. But I think I’ll definitely at least be getting a tablet with Windows 8 on it at launch, very impressed.
-
But can it run Crysis?
-
Haha well if I felt like wiping my computer at home and putting on Windows 8, I could tell you. Buutttt..I only recently re-did Windows 7 and there’s no way I’m going through that hell again 😛
-
Does anyone have any Zavvi discount codes? Thinking of preordering a couple of games from there. Also, how long does shipping usually take after their stated release date?
-
10 days is the usual shipping time. from when they ship it. but ussually a few days to do that.
-
Be careful going through Zavvi, I’ve heard some bad stories about them.
It’s your choice, of course. Just thought I’d share a friendly warning 🙂-
I’ve ordered loads of stuff through Zavvi and never had a problem(apart from the usual slow shipping you get from the UK).
I think from reading that link the other day that most of the people who’ve had problems were actual UK people and/or people who are mad that they got busted when trying to exploit a deal further than Zavvi intended it go.
-
-
I ordered Deus Ex from them…
…
…
…
It’s not come yet.
:<-
Really?! Argh.
Now my sweet, sweet Deus Ex enjoyment will be tinged with empathetic sadness.
Seriously, that’s taken *way* too long.
-
They sent me an email this morning asking me to fill in a customer satisfaction survey.
I replied that I’d be happy to, when I received the product I’d paid for.
-
-
-
I’ve got a 10% off one you can try. Can’t guarantee it will work, it may be specifically for my account. Worth a shot though I guess.
you know what’s a game i like? Final Fantasy X
and they are making a HD version… on vita…
i was already planning on buying the console, but i was having doubts about whether i should get a 3DS instead, now i know for sure that i have to get a vita, or i will die…
-
I really did not like FFX at all.
Not one bit.
40 hours, played it in 5 days just to get it over with.-
Oh! The sphere grid was pretty cool though.
-
awkward moment when it’s my favourite final fantasy….
which is then followed by IV, then VI, I personally didn’t really like VII, the hype killed it for me
-
Thing is, I know I’m being pretty unreasonable with my burning hatred. By all accounts, it isn’t at all a bad game in any way, but I still really dislike everything about it that isn’t the Sphere Grid.
-
I suffered from RPG hoarders syndrome so bad in that game. Every monster had to be mugged, and every bit of loot would be kept, just in case I needed it to upgrade the Aeons.
But seriously guys, FFVIII was where it was at 😛
-
I think you mean Triple Triad.
I mean, that world exploring/flying/battling part was pretty cool too, but definitely Triple Triad. -
OMG A FELLOW FF8 FAN
Hi5 Steve-O!!!
-
-
-
Better voice acting this time around or should I dismantle my ears while playing this game again?
-
/sniffs disdainfully
I don’t think it was so bad. Characters were well cast.
-
Really? Listen to this and tell me it wasn’t that bad..
-
I haz a question:
How/where are people preordering SWTOR for Australia? I assume if it’s via online-shipped retail box it’ll work fine in our region even if the game isn’t out here yet?
-
Aren’t your options either Origin or boxed retail?
I suppose the usual UK shops:
OzGameShop.com, Zaavi.com,-
Yeah, but I think Origin from Australia is still locked out until release, or something.
From what I’ve heard people have just ordered boxes from overseas (Amazon etc).
-
Australia isn’t getting it at the same time as the US or UK, and I’m willing to bet Origin will verify your copy the way Steam does… so I don’t know how you’d get around that.
-
I should say, they’ve been talking about dedicating servers… so that may be the delay.
-
Ok. Would retail boxes work then? From Amazon/OGS etc?
-
I was sure I read that they wouldn’t stop you from using a copy you’d imported?
-
-
I don’t know.
It would depend on if Origin allows you to create a user account for another country.
If not, then you’re straight out of luck.
-
-
-
ha.
-
Makes me want to play Privateer.
*sob*
Once again the family has called upon me to take part in manual labour. On a farm. With no electricity. Which means.
NO GAMING FOR THE ENTIRE WEEKEND!
I don’t know how I will survive it.
I was so looking forward to Space Marine and Dead Island.
This is… just so painful… I actually don’t want the work week to end.
-
“Hey Peter, I’m gonna have to ask you to come in on Saturday… so if you could just get here around 9:00, that would be great.
Oh, yeahhhh, I’m gonna need to go ahead and ask you to come in on Sunday too.”
-
I wish. Government employee, no overtime or weekend work, damn family know this to.

@Jamesmag
Thought i’d show you my mc-ninja – careful, it’s upside down – like all good ninjas are want to be!
THE KOTAKU TURTLE CAME!!!
What’s it’s name? Josephine?
But either way, she left me LA Noire and Mafia 2!!!
Josaphine thinks i’m gangsta!
Thanks JO-JO!!! 😀

-
She may be slow…
But she gets there…
In the…
End.
I only got one (latter) Kudo prize of the two I won, but I’d feel bad complaining to anyone about it.
-
Why does everybody else seem to get the cool prizes ;_;
I’m not complaining. No way Jose.
-
Speaking of kudos, what’s Tracys email again for giving noms? I know she’s posted it before but I forgot where.
-
Allure emails all just have the standard formatting of firstname.surname@alluremedia.com.au
So fill in the blanks and you should be right :p
-
I hope someone out there is called Firstname Surname.
-
I should set up an email address like that from my website. firstname.surname@trjn.net
Or I could just name my firstborn child Firstname Middlename Surname.

Josephine knows that damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

So is anyone picking up the Sonic Generations collectors edition?
If so, where from?
I haven’t seen any listing on Ozgameshop so I’ll probably drop some money down at *shudders* EB games.
Not only do they seem to be the cheapest (BY A WHOLE $1!) but there is one near my work so I can grab it on the way home.
-
Last post on page 8? Screw this! Reposting on page 9!
Hi Tracey, after a lackluster showing at TGS for my poor old 3ds, and a rather impressive one for Vita, I want you opinion: Trade in the 3ds for a Vita, or is there a console saver for the 3ds coming?
So is anyone else interested in Diablo 3?
I wasn’t until I checked out that skill calculator and suddenly got all enthused.
-
It’s Diablo 3.
You’d be better off asking who isn’t interested, lest you be flooded with replies :p

“So is anyone else interested in Diablo 3?”
Oh Jo, you’re SO FUNNY.
-
You know funnily enough, I’m not
-
… we need to have a talk.
-
You inhuman… oh right.
-
See I’m not the only one who was kinda meh about it.
-
I’m not interested either. Torchlight II on the other hand…
-
It’s the reason why I got the first one, I never actually tried it yet but many voiced that they enjoyed it. I also saw TotalBiscuit’s extended coverage live commentary of it from Gamescom, and it peaked my interest even further.
-
-
I was but then I saw that they were adding colour so now I’m going to boycott it, which is only the best form of internet protest.
-
-
I sit here in anticipation, praying that I will receive an invite to the beta. IT’S PATHETIC!
-
Man I’m so excited. Most anticipated game, ever! And Torchlight 2 can suck a fat one. The first one was incredibly average, plus Diablo 3, come on. I have every book ever published about the universe as well as own all the games.
-
still remember pouring hours and hours and hours and (hours) into Diablo(1)… man, i just got it working on LAN in windows 7, i’m getting some mates over for a retro night… Red Bull, cold pizza and dungeon crawling… YEEEEAAAAAH!!
-
Hey Jamesmag have you got the sound working in Windows 8? What program are you using? Virtualbox? Cause I installed Windows 8 into a virtualbox VM this morning and I figured out how to get the sound to work. You just need to go into the Audio settings for the W8 VM in virtualbox and change the Audio Controller to “Intel HD Audio”.
-
I got it working in Boot Camp on my Macbook Pro at home. I’m running Parallels for virtual machines at work. It’s pretty crap..but I played around with it a fair bit yesterday and last night. I really like it, that Metro UI is definitely more touch friendly though. And my bloody macbook pro won’t go to 1366 x 768, the minimum resolution for the snap features 🙁
BDKIAF –
IS Harley Quinn SERIOUSLY THE NAME OF YOUR BAND?? THAT’S AWESOME
because
You know where I got the name ‘Harli’ from? Yeah…..
-
Where!?
Don’t leave us hanging! -
You like motorbikes?
-
Copyright issues, ho! 😛
-
Yes?
-
-
Your love of Harlequin romance novels?
-
HA!
All of the above.
Okay no really – my steam name used to be HarlequinGirl but it was too long and often in online games strangers would shorten it to “harli” whilst yelling in the midst of battle. Kinda stuck.
-
Btw, totally hilarious that the “next post” link after TAY is to Harley Quinn’s manly mo-cap..
-
I take back what i said bout your handle being “regular” now….

That is SUCH epic win..
I mean SERIOUSLY epic win!
I posted this at the end of the last page but no one will see it there!
REPOST POWER ACTIVATE!
So is anyone picking up the Sonic Generations collectors edition?
If so, where from?
I haven’t seen any listing on Ozgameshop so I’ll probably drop some money down at *shudders* EB games.
Not only do they seem to be the cheapest (BY A WHOLE $1!) but there is one near my work so I can grab it on the way home.
-
REPOST POWER ACKNOWLEDGED!
No I am not.
-
REPOST POWER… FAIL!
-
-
I was thinking about it.. but i’m not going to lay down the $168…
maybe is ozgameshop offer it eventually…-
Yeah, that’s what I first thought when I saw it online.
But I hear it’s super limited…
The only store in the UK with a listing seems to be Amazon and their price is about $130AU. That’s discounted. RRP is around $155AU.
-
-
I believe game has a deal where you get a free sonic cap when you pre-order sonic generations.
Besides that everywhere seems to be doing the same deals.
I will probably get it. From what I have heard it’s actually limited edition.
-
I dunno, I’m not big into the “Cap” preorder thing. Most of them look pretty retarded. The Sonic one especially. I think I’d rather save a buck and get it from EB.
-
-
So, it wasn’t my intention to buy Sonic Generations.
I am a big fan of Sonic 2/3/Knuckles. But, we all know (the modern Sonic cycle and) that this game will end up being terrible.
Then you mentioned a Collector’s Edition… And then I saw the statue, and everything. *sigh*
-
I’ve wanted this since I played the demo and was all “OMG! IT PLAYS LIKE AWESOME OLD SKOOL SONIC GAME!”
Collector’s Edition is just added (expensive) win!
-
Oh wait… the demo is good?!
Maybe my negative assumptions are unfounded. I would be happy to be wrong. So very happy.
-
Grab the demo, dude!
It’s worth a play if you like Sonic!
-

Going paint balling for the first time ever on Saturday… any tips?
Besides “don’t get shot in the nuts”
-
Don’t get shot.
-
Do a barrel roll!
-
Don’t play with your work collegues who think it’s funny to shoot their teammates. Also it stings pretty bad
-
I paintball skirmished with some work colleagues, and was shot in the face by a teammate in the first game. The paintball hit my mouth guard, and this bruised my lip and filled my mouth with paint.
I wasn’t very happy. Hehe.
-
-
Hope they don’t lump you in with a group of complete morons. This has happened to me twice.
Conserve your ammo unless you have the money to throw away on refills.
Above all
SHOOT EVERYONE and have a blast!
-
Ammo conservation is of huge importance, unless you have a lot of money to spill.
Unfortunately the ammo situation tends to limit the enjoyment I can get from paintball skirmish. And I get a little mopey when they set game rules that result in me needing to shoot more bullets, and thus pay them more money. Don’t they realise that I need my money to buy video games?!
-
-
1/ It is okay to use friends and loved ones as movable cover.
2/ Say that someone in your group is either getting married or having a birthday, they often get a fluro vest, which makes them the biggest target of the day.
3/ Choose good shoes, unlike when I played it had rained recently and the mud managed to rip the soles of the bottom of my shoes, on the first game, mad it very unpleasant.
4/ Be bold, stand firm. I have forgotten the number of times that I avoided being hit just by standing still. Running definetly makes you a target.
5/ Flank, flank, flank. Frontal assaults never seem to do well.
6/ When you get hit in the face, and you will, don’t lick your lips. The paint comes through the vents and tastes like crap.
-
I went for the first time last week, I had 700 paintballs for the day… went through 200 in the first 15 minutes.
After that round though I was more conservative with my ammo, and lasted out all the rounds with pellets to spare.
My tip is don’t waste too much ammo keeping the enemy suppressed in cover.
Also, if you have a choice try not to play too many flag capture games as when we played these always ended in everyone camping.
-
Wear a cricket box. If you don’t have one, roll up your junk in a pair of socks.
Also, don’t drink a carton of beer before you go:
1. It doesn’t make you invincible.
2. Your aim may suffer as a result.
3. Spewing up in the protective mask isn’t fun. -
The day after, your legs are going to hurt, BIG TIME.
Maybe warm up with some squats or something. -
Okay, you NEED to get a cricket box (cup) or else bring some teatowels or rags or something and stuff them down your pants. Don’t wear boxers on the day because these will just fall down your leg. Make sure you use cover, the paintballs frigging hurt! Apart from that, try pinging someone in the face mask, they can’t see and usually put a leg or something out of cover, then you just shoot them and they’re out. Also, protip, when someone’s running out because they’ve been hit, shoot them a couple of times because you “didn’t realise”, because they will definitely do it to you at some point.

Epic. If I ever rent out a property, I will include this clause.
Morning all! Thought I’d share this to hopefully put a smile on your face – it worked for me!
BABY MONKEY! BACKWARDS ON A PIG!
Thinking of buying a shiny new laptop from Harvey Norman with the “buy 1 laptop get 1 free (aslong as they contain an AMD processor)” deal. Trying to decide what to get.
-
Really? Buy one get one free on laptops? What madness is this? Does it only apply to old crappy laptops or are there some decent ones?
-
On the website all it says is “Buy any Laptop with an AMD processor and get one free”. Don’t see any fine print except for the usual “1 per customer,can’t be used with other deals, no rain checks, etc…) Might stop into Harvey Norman during my lunch break to actually ask one of the staff.
-
-
But Macs use Intel processors…
-
I do see one little flaw here.
“AMD”
-
I’m going to have to go with Blaghs on this one. AMD are really crap.
-
It’s just been so long since they did a good hardware revision. Although, is it Bulldog? Their new line of processors should be coming out at some point soon I think… Hopefully they’re actually decent, because it’s reaching the point where intel has a monopoly just because of AMD’s fail.
-
Well apparently their new CPU is going to be the best one available to consumers, until Intel come up witha new one about a month later..then it will take AMD 2-3 years to match/improve on that, then rinse and repeat.
-
The worst part is how oblivious they seem to be. They’re all “Look, we have a higher clock speed!” and they miss the fact that it’s completely irrelevant when comparing different processors.
-
But don’t they realise that their clocks will be out of sync with everyone else’s and they’ll always be early to appointments?
-
But seriously, I know what you mean. We actually refuse to sell AMD processors/boards where I work, just because we’ve had so much trouble with them, as well as they’re crap.
-
-
-
-
The lower-end Fusion CPU/GPU combos are actually really good for netbooks / ultraportables.
I dislike any form of advertising that assumes I’m dumb.

In other news, Blaghs, Gorzy and I played some 3v3 vs hard AI in Starcraft 2 last night.
We learned several valuable lessons.
First of all, I cannot macro as Terran (or as Protoss or Zerg but particularly as Terran).
Secondly, Gorzy is a dick. He lifted off his base and dropped it next to my main to start mining from it at the start. Admittedly, I took his original main as my second expansion. Then he took the gold expansion after I started hitting the destructible rocks but before I could finish them off.
Third, attack clicking on the minimap is the most effective way to deal with combat.
Finally, we require additional pylons!
-
WHY would you do that? (lift off at the beginning, that is) If I were you I’d be bashing my head on the keyboard in frustration.
-
That’s surprisingly close to what I was doing :p
-
Luckily for them Harli, they had the power of my “rush to dts” on their side, which makes everything so much easier.
-
This was followed by my brilliant strategy of also getting DTS after Blaghs complained about the AI having detection.
It was not followed by me morphing them into Archons. That would have been the intelligent thing to do.
-
But thanks to my transition to blink stalkers I managed to kill off their detection! IT ALL WORKS!
-
-
-
-
HAHA! Nice work Trollzilla!
So yeah, this Canberra Meat. Any additional details? I’m surprised a lovely illustrated poster hasn’t emerged yet.
-
Pshh, I’ll worry about extra details closer to the date, there’s still tonnes of time for me to procrastinate!
-
POSTER IS ON IT’S WAY! Blame new PC hiccups (Or me being lazy) for the delay!
Also, no deets will be on the poster. Unlike the other Meat’s where anyone can turn up, this is a little more… “Exclusive”.
Only the “Cream of the Crop” as it were.
-
Yeah! with the awesome Sydney people making a featured appearance /coughs
-
I thought Shiggy pulled out?
We got nuthin’.
Oh, Jamie’s accent is pretty cool though. Maybe we can take his voice with us. How convenient it’ll be attached to the rest of his body!-
And what a body it is too! *sigh*
-
I bet he’s like Serrels.
Expect a keg, revealed to be a 6-pack.
Scottish deception!
-
-
Hey! You’ve got me!
-
-
Are we still at the awkward 5 person travel thingy?
I feel like we should organise how that’s going to work.
Shout not.
-
Not my job to organise! WOOPWOOPWOOPWOOPWOOP!
-
I think we should make it Blaghman’s job to organise!
-
I heartily agree with this proposal.
-
My ego, my fat, and myself (all valid as large enough to take up separate seats, and therefore valid as voters) vote that we make it APs job, or alternately, we force Shiggy to come at gunpoint.

Jamesmag “I sold them to buy a … WATER JETPACK”
-
I’ll do it when we’re at the beach or something, and have it on under a XXXXXL jacket, then I’ll throw off the jacket and shoot off into the air screaming YEAAAAAAAHHHHH. Totally worth it.
-

Aw man I want that jetpack… hang on… MY BLUEPRINTS! THEY’RE GONE!

I hate you so very, very much.
Mind-numbing work is… mind-numbing.
Now I am not normally the sharpest tool in the whatzit, but after several hours of just entering in numbers into a spreadsheet, I feel like my IQ has been hung, drawn and quartered.
A client came in and I am sure I must have just sat there staring at him for 30 seconds before my brain kicked in enough to say “hello”.

Data entry is fun.
I did a lot of mental work planning out a novel back when I did a few weeks of data entry at a temp job.

Not cool.
Uni Break starts next week though, so I’ll spam up a storm then! 😀

Yay! 😀
Also, we now have enough people for an 8-player match of NFS:HP (that’s including your friend Ollie) 😀

Does anyone know of any costume stores in Parramatta?
Or any places that sell, costume related stuff?
To clarify, I am going to a fairytale themed birthday party next weekend and to break with my usual style, (barbarian/warrior who’d of guessed) I am actually going to go as an evil wizard. Now I have managed to make robes and cloak, but I need to get all the little acessories that will actually make it work.
So what do people suggest and where may I obatain said stuff? Keeping in mind it is probably to late to rder stuff online.
-
A 15-20 minute drive down Cumberland Highway/Victoria Road onto Marsden Road into Mobbs Lane gets you to: http://www.actingthepart.com.au/
I’ve browsed, but never hired from them.-
Not to shabby, thanks for the info.
Unfortunately due to the drunken antics we will be getting up to, I don’t think I should be looking at hiring anything.

Steve-O
“I think they’re targeting their audience pretty well – young, stupid, immature males.
Also, it’s funny cus’ my finger is his pee-pee!”
I laughed, out loud, for a long time.
-
Meh, I just got the black coloured card when I got it last weekend, those two “offensive” ones I just chuckled and said “Lolwut? What was going through their head when they designed this?”
Offensive? No way
Silly? Definitely 😛-
Haha I’d probably get one just for the lol’s. I don’t see how it’s offensive if they’re offering you a choice..
-
Exactly that my friend. Exactly that
-
But think of the children!
Won’t somebody think of children!?-
No, no they won’t.
-
(`・ω・´)
-
LOL
-
-
-
They are, the children would find it hilarious.
-
Exactly! Kid’s love that sort of stuff.
-
Those kids with their skateboards and their vidya games and their high resolution ultraviolence.
Silly kids, they’ll lap up anything that’s edgy.
-
me too – seems like steve-o is the only one thinking what i’m thinking.
I’m so over everything being so damn PC.
Yeah, they’re a little silly – but it’s their marketing so just let them do it. If it’s crap THEY will be the ones to pay for it..
People just need to get over it.. and the dude who said he was one of the people that complained.. why??? why waste your time? just don’t pick the card… jeeeeeesus!
-
on a side note – if it was duke nukem instead of those stupid hosts, people probably wouldn’t care.. it would just be a case of “just another duke”
-
Yeah the guy that mentioned he complained was a bit of a douche 😛
Exactly, they can market any way they want, if it’s unsuccessful, they’re the ones who will suffer for it, and seriously, how is a card with a hole cut out of it “offensive”.
-
Personally i think it’s not meant to have your finger put through it – it’s just a MASSIVE mangina
😉
-
SO wrong! Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew.

Also, I turn 22 today. Is this old? Y/Y?
-
Gorramn young people!
Gedoff mah lawn!Also Happy Birthday I guess.
ლ(ಠ益ಠ)
-
I just turned 21 and I think I’m old so sure, why not.
-
Oh yeah, Happy Birthday!! 😛
-
This is what happens when you go old and senile!
Old man memory.
/o\-
I think that’s actually because I’ve been drinking for 7 years :/
-
You started drinking at 14?!?!
Cheers to that!
-
Yeah…so much regret 😛
Didn’t start drinking regularly (every weekend) until I was 16 but still often enough to include it 😛
-
I also started drinking at age 14, but it was only with my parents and family friends at BBQs. Didn’t go stupid or anything but my mate (his parents were good mates with mine) and I would get a 6 pack of bourbon each and would play hot-seat Heroes Of Might and Magic.
*nostalgia*
Worked out for the best because when we did start partying around age 16 we knew our limits and could handle a bit of grog, whereas first-timers would have 2 drinks and run around stupidly.
-
Yeah pretty much exactly the same with me. I was never really paraletic or anything like that but I saw so many other people my age get to that stage nearly every weekend. So stupid.
-
-
-
OLD. OLD. YOU’RE SO OLD! IT MAKES ME SICK, THINKING OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SO OLD! DRAINING SOCIETY WITH THEIR AGE!
-
Dude…aren’t you like 23?
-
I bet he’s going to claim that he’s younger, but I bet that’s the crazy old man memory talking. Can’t even remember how old he is.
-
When I was young, all of this was fields, as far as the eye could see, and you could get a packet of chips, a can of coke and a block of chocolate for a dollar!
-
-
Hell no. I’m 20.
-
Sorry man, I got your handke confused with Bish’s for a second :/ realised the mistake now. I meant Bish is 23 isn’t he?
-
You know, in the past 3 days, I’ve been called Numbers, Rocketman and Blaghs.
What is this trend I don’t understand? -
Don’t worry Bish, I know who you are. You’re the guy who sounds normal!
-
Nope, pretty sure you’re confusing me with someone else again.
-
Nah, I know who you are. You sound like a normal person, even if you are, you know, Asian.
-
Hee hee hee!
It’s funny because Rocketman.
-
-
geeeeeeeeze, so old.
You are 1 whole year older then me, so old.
Happy womb-expelling day! (Hmm doesn’t have the same ring to it)
-
Ah, the ol’ expulsion from the womb…
I remember that day like…
Who am I kidding, I thank ‘God’ I don’t remember that day.
Happy Birthday!
Y
-
So, you got me that walking frame then Harli?
Thankxxxxxxssss
Happy 8035 day of existence (give or take a couple of days due to dodgy math making).
-
8036*
Close enough.
You’re not old. I define old as someone older than me.
You’re just a youngling :p
A youngling who should probably be enjoying their birthday.
-
Impossible!
I have 30 more pages to write for my thesis and not a lot of time to do it! Enjoying my birthday was something I did when I was 12.
Damn ‘career choices’-
Here’s my gift to you, a way to fill in those last 30 pages without too much effort.
-
Yes, that’s old. Crazy old. 😛
Happy birthday! 😀
So you are actally two eleven year olds???
That’s quite young.
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! My grandpa always told me “you only feel as old as the woman you’re feeling”, however if there is no other half 22 is still young! Of course I may be biased because I’m 23…
I’m 26 – i think!
So no, you’re not old.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 😀
Haooy brthday indeed! Hope you get lots of nice phat loots!
It gives me great pleasure to present to you the inaugural winner of the Braaains’ WTF of the Week Award.

This was the furry badger they were looking for
YEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHAAAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Perhaps badger was more than he could handle… he was probably only used to beaver.
-
This one time I was raging at the TV at the U Tampon ads that had the beaver puppet. I was all “What is that even for, I don’t understand!?”.
My sisters were also watching TV.
So that was awkward.-
*facepalm*
Really?Oh bish.. you poor, poor soul!

Yeah… I can see how that’d be awkward. It made me uncomfortable just reading about it…

GUYS!
i’m making a cake – an epic cake… have any of you got tips on making an epic cake??
Maybe linkage?
STRANGE?!!?!
ANYONE?!!?
-
What type of cake are you attempting to make, and when you say epic, what does that entail?
-
An epic cake would be one FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!
And you need a chainsword to cut it.
-
-
it’s a secret – and it involves frosting and making cake into shapes.. and being epic
-
Ahh, excellent, I know exactly what you mean. Do you have much experience making cakes? If not, it may be easier for you to simply get store bought sponge cake, and to then cut it into appropriate shapes. You’ll want to ignore the icing that will probably come with them, but that can usually be peeled off fairly easily. The main problem here is that they’re typically circular, whereas a square cake would help you more, but there’s only so much you can do. (Make sure you get lots of excess, just in case you balls something up.
Now, you’ll also want to get the kind of icing that you can roll out, add some food colouring to it, and you can place it over the cake which you have cut into appropriate shapes.
For the trim and decoration, there are two main options. You can go the lolly root, for instance, blades made of those spearmint leaf lollies, and trim around areas from sliced licorice. Or, you can just go for more icing, either dyed the appropriate colour using food dye, or by using the delicate icing stuff they use for cupcakes.
And you know what the worst part is now? Now I want to do it, just so I can see how it turns out.
-
BLADES?!?!? WHAT BLADES?!?!!?
SHUT UP YOU IDIOT!!!
😛
-
I said “for instance”! It was just an example, which clearly had no relation to what you want to do.
-
next time gadget, next time
-
-
-
1. Buy 2L tub of Neopolitan Ice Cream
2. Turn out ice-cream on wooden board as one big block.
3. Decorate with lollies.
Or alternatively:
1. Mix milk, water, sugar, flour and butter
2. Roll into balls
3. Fill with cream and cover with chocolate
4. ???
5. PROFITeroles!

It wasn’t too epic, but quite delicious.
Gears of War 3 is coming a little sooner than expected and I don’t know if I should be hyped for it or not.
The first two games were great fun but I don’t know if that is because they were actually good or because of how I played them. You see, I marathoned through both of them with a friend.
One night, one game. We did it with the first Gears, liked the experience so much we did it again when Gears 2 came out (and did it with Army of Two, Halo 3, Halo Reach and tried to do it with Splinter Cell: Conviction).
I haven’t spoken to that friend in about a year. No falling out or anything like that, we just kind of drifted apart.
This puts me in a bit of a bind.
There might be a solution though. Soon, I’ll be moving in with Carlos (the guy who does the art and most of the work for Asinine Circus). We’ve been contemplating doing some co-op for a long time.
The last time we tried was some Star Wars game on the Dreamcast. It went badly.
Still, if I can convince him to try and marathon through Gears 3 with me in a single night, methinks it could be a lot of fun. Especially if the eventual squabbling gets recorded… perhaps through the same technology I use for Let’s Plays?
Failing that, I’ll be looking for a co-op partner for Gears 3. That game will suck in single player so I refuse to acknowledge that mode exists.
-
More like “gears of Space Marine”, amirite?
-
Bish – i could marry you – that was brilliant
-
It’s got nothing to do with Robert Heinlein.
-
-
-
I know what you mean with single player being crap. I’ve owned the first Gears of War since I bought my 360. I tried playing it a couple of times single player, got really bored and stopped. Played it once with a friend and blasted through most of the campaign in one session and had a blast.
-
I remember being soooo pumped to play Gears when it first came out. Finished it in one sitting and couldn’t believe it was over so quick. Never bothered with 2.
-
I like Weirs of Gore!
Scarlett johannson nude pics… Seen and pretty convincing.
There is a god!
-
I think my reaction was along the lines of “yup, that’s her naked”.
She’s asked the FBI to investigate this. Breach of privacy and all that.
-
While I saw them, I kinda feel bad for them, if people saw the nude photo’s I posted of myself on the Internet I would be doing everything to get them off the net.
-
I mean what?
-
You could just start a business selling brain bleach. If people found your nudes, there would definitely be an increase in demand.
-
-
Yeah I heard of that on the radio this morning. I was so shocked, the actress I’ve got the biggest crush on, but I’m choosing not to look those pics up, mainly because I see her as a woman and a person, not an object to oggle over
-
While I agree with you In principle my willpower is not that strong. You are a better robot than me
-
Because your willpower is part of an inferior, organic material in your head. Mine’s more of a static value that keeps me sticking to the code of Tech Knight.
-
-
I had a glance, and meh. Whatever. I understand why she’d be pissed about them appearing on the net, but I do question why she took them to begin with, it just seems a little odd.
-
To send to her boyfriend or something?
-
Ok, bear with me here.
I don’t understand why anyone would do that anyway.
Woooo, naked pictures, woooo. Nope, I don’t get it.
-
Ah okay, fair enough. Well in a conventional relationship, where the partners are seeing each other fairly often, I don’t see the need for it. But as she’s an actress and has to go film in parts of the world which may be a huge distance from her partner/interest/etc, then it’s acceptable, it’s just another form of sexting.
-
I have a friend that has lived with his girlfriend for a few years. She’s sent him naked pictures when he was working late.
Don’t ask me why, never really been a feature of any relationship I’ve been in, but it seems to be an almost normal thing.
-
Yeah well my some of my friends have had naked pictures from their partners sent to them (they work on mine sites so are away for extended periods of time. I haven’t gotten any from my partner but I live with her and see her every night
-
You ‘see’ her, every night… if you know what I mean…
…
…
…Boobies is what I meant btw.
-
I got that 😛 and yes, I do 😛
-
-
-
You also have greater willpower than me..
-
Cuz you’re a human. Can’t be helped I guess
wait – where did you see those?!
-
I saw them all over /b at 4chan
Can someone give me some faith back in the world my morning has gotten off to a bad start.
-
How can you lose faith in the world when it’s possible to take a short trip to the shops and purchase gummi bears?
-
I thinK that I want to get two bags fuLL. but Man that’s rEally unhealthy. maybe one bag for NOW.
-
You did that just a little wrong
-
You’re killing yourself now? Well that seems a bit far.
-
Yes it is a bit far. Of course I am exagerating but somedays work gets to me and it’s always on a thursday. I can take 3 days of morons talking down to me but 4 drives me over the edge!
-
I was more commenting on the fact that it says “IKILLMENOW”. If you’re wanted to do it properly, you should have done “i thinK that I want to get two bags fuLL. but Man that’s rEally uNhealthy. maybe One bag for noW.”
-
If you wanted*
Wow. That was an English fail.
-
-
Move to Mackay.
Get awesome paying mine job.
Drink with Steve-O.Actually that doesn’t take care of you having to deal with morons…
-
-
-
Get two bags. Emergency supplies and all that.
Want some sugar sticks, Rocketman?
Some jerkface dude on the internet told me I was too old for them so now I’m not allowed to consume them :<
-
What a wanker your never to old for sugar sticks. We should probably hurt that guy with words.
-
Gonna write up a sternly worded letter.
That’ll show him.
-
Sorry Rocketman, I’m all out of that. There’s been none in my stock since year 7
-
Well this is for both of you.
There is always someoneles having a worse time 🙂

Now I want me some crackle.

daaaaw, thanks for that, brought a smile on my face
Has anyone counted how many cheeseburgers they can eat? I just went and had 5 and a ice cream cone and I am too full and too lazy to do anything else right now.
I can’t even be bothered finding a relevant unicode face.
:I
-
20 cheeseburgers
let me see if I can dig up the pics
also it was between 2 people
-
Dug around for the photos
and failed ;(
-
-
One of my friends polished off one of those dinner boxes (2 Big Macs, 2 Quarter-Pounders, 6/4 Mcnuggets, 4 Medium Fries & 4 Medium Cokes) from Maccas by himself. We were all fairly impressed and he felt pretty sick after it.
-
Last time me & bawble shared one of those dinner boxes. He consumed about 3/4 while I ate the remaining 1/4.
-
I have this absolute eating machine for a friend. He hate a dinner box by himself and was still hungry, so we (well, he did) went for a kebab. Another time, he had a large half pounder meal (instead of a quarter pounder). After that, his brother dared him to continue eating more, so he ate a pounder. And then he ate another. 2.5 pounds of meat/bread/ingredients, a large fries and a large coke. And this happened about 3-4 hours after he ate a tray of lasagna. I witnessed the dinner box kebab story, but not the 2.5 pounder.
He is a machine. Not like a Tech knight posing as a human machine, a genuine machine that eats and eats and eats and eats and eats and eats.
-
-
4 triples
I’m hungry I want lunch already :'(
-
20 cheeseburgers
-
Too late, $1 cheeseburger hour is over (they should make it permanent)
-
Just go five times?
Uni Maccas is pretty busy, probably won’t remember you at least three or four times with the amount of people who pass through.-
I checked the fine-print, the rule is “per transaction.” So, you’re allowed to order them as many times as you want, so long as you re-queue every time.
-
When does the promotion end?
‘Cos I’m thinking lunch on the 24th on the drive down.
-
-
-
-
I’ll probably go even more cheapskate by cooking instant ramen at home. Heh!
-
EASY MAC!
That’s my lazy weekend lunch!
-
I assure you, I am anything but easy.

Where as me on the other hand….

I couldn’t decide on a version.

Such a high Kj count…
-
So about those Subway cookies…
They are pretty delicious is all I’m saying.
Had some raspberry and white chocolate ones. Pretty good.-
Subway is the greatest fast food place ever invented.
That is all
-
Having managed a Subway store, I can say that few fast food outlets can top Subway in terms of still warm fresh cookies.
The rest of what’s on offer, not so much.
-
You should pitch a spinoff chain of just a store that sells Subway cookies.
-
Oh… but i thought it was all about me??
**sniff**
Ok then…
-
I will get you after I eat!
So… i might be a bit late to the beat here, but just watched the Max Payne 3 trailer… Opinions? as for me, i find it hard to feel excited, it just doesn’t look or feel like good old Max, with his new Bruce Willis Wannabe look… i want his silly smirk back!!!
-
I downloaded it to watch later and forgot to watch it.
[/good contribution]-
Okay, watched it.
Don’t usually get hyped up for games (DEUS EX THIS WEEK?), so I’m probably the worst person to try judge sucesses of teasers.
Curious, not excited.
The cosmetic change of Max Payne is weird. I know that it ultimately doesn’t mean much in terms of the actual game but his constipation face is trademark. It’s recognisable.
That said, at least the game still looks like Max Payne. Maybe people are a bit tired of it, but dark, gritty, noir is how the games roll, and that seems to be intact, from the brief glimpses.-
I agree, Trailers have tied me over before, but not this one… i can’t put my finger on what it is, but it just doesn’t feel… Max..i?
-
I get what you mean.
Bar the music, there’s nothing that stands out as a sort of “Wow, that’s Max Payne alright”. They could possibly call it Max Power and use that trailer as a sort of generic-y shooting game and totally get away with it. Although, that music. Haunting. I like it.
Still, it’s a Rockstar game. I’m sure they’ll release a controlled flow of trailers to try hype it up closer to release.
We’ll see. -
This is because there were cutscenes that were not comic books. I am disappoint in this – the game better be good.

HNNG!! HNNG!! HNNG!! HNNG!!
(accidentally posted this in the remember this page :P)
-
That was…. I’m not actually sure WHAT that was…
-
That was gold, is what that was.
-
-
Holy. Shit.
I’ve been solidly laughing for the last 10 mins because of this.
-
HAHAHAHA! Hilarious!
HNNG! HNNG! HNNG! -
I have no words to describe what I just saw.
-
What about “HNNG!”?
-
Only You Can Save Mankind!
If not you, then who else?
(10 points to anyone who gets the reference. 20 points for anyone who cares)
-
-
I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to work harder than that to slip a Pratchett reference by me.
Even if I never got around to reading the Johnny Maxwell books.
-
Yeah, I’m assuming Pratchett reference.
-
Johnny Maxwell???
I think i read that before i even knew what discworld was..
Woohoo 30 points!!-
Now that I think about it, there was a book I read as a kid that might have been Only You Can Save Mankind. Some vague memory of kids in a computer game…
Might have to read it (possibly again) some time to see.
-
It’s a pretty good book.
You can tell it was written by someone who had actually played a computer game back then.
Like the fat kid who copies all the floppys and photocopies manuals to circumvent the early DRM.
-
I watched a documentary hosted by Sir Pterry recently, about assisted suicide.
At the start, they showed his office and there was a copy of the Morrowind strategy guide in plain view.
Then again, The Colour of Magic is basically just a D&D campaign, so he’s always had plenty of nerd credential.
-
But back then DRM was fun!
Code wheels! -
Manual quoting!
-
bahaha “please enter first word on Page 5, Line 17”
-
My cousin and I tried to play a copied disc of Shadow of the Beat II on Amiga. We didn’t have the manual and got stuck very quickly.
We then managed to borrow a manual.
But we didn’t know what a “Paragraph” was.
So we stayed stuck.
True story.
-
-
-
I OWNED THAT BOOK!!!
In fact i think i still do… it should be at mum’s place!
On LoL I suddenly find I have Kayle and a skin for her. Did riot just give her out to everyone? I didn’t buy her.
-
Yeah, apparently if you played ten games in season one, they give her to you.
Also sorry for missing your/Pyrean’s invite. I left to do stuff and forgot League was running in the background.
-
PvP or AI matches? Or both?
-
I’m guessing PvP since matchmaking is really 5v5 all people
-
Then I don’t think I would have played 10 Pvp…so I miss out
sadface
-
Well Season 1 hasn’t ended yet…
-
Oh… didn’t see that 🙁
-
It’s okay 😛 I thought I must have misread because I thought you’d know better than me 😛
-
Yeah, on training this week so not so up to date with the LoL news.
-
-
-
It’s all good. We were just doing a PVE to for him to text out that new hero (he brought her allready) and I wanted to give Nocturne a go.
I got highest kills that game with out even trying. So going to catch that pokemon when I get the spair IP.
I’m still going to have Sona as my main but with, Nocturne and Miss Fortune it ought to give me a few roles I can fill.
That’s strange, I never got her. Well she’s part support but also a fighter, so there you go, another possiblity 🙂
-
I had a friend suggest I try her out.
Somehow I find myself being wedge into this whole “support” niche.
-
You and Gorzilla are pretty much support specialists now. You perform the role very well so you should stick to it.
It helps us a LOT in 5 man teams while we let rip into their HP 🙂
-
A little diversity couldn’t hurt though.
-
Where would a old old wooden ship used in the civil war come in!
-
I love the anchorman references that keep getting posted 😛
-
-
and I encourage that. Hell I’m doing it, I’m still looking for a ranged physical DPS (Like Corki or Caitlyn) as well as a melee AP fighter (Like Nunu or Malphite) to further complete my collection, but I won’t start on that till I get my runes for my other champions first
-
This guide I found arranges champs into various roles and play styles which is kind of handy when looking for a new one.
If anyone cares.
-
-
I can support now as well with Karma – I promise I won’t steal any more kills with her!
-
With your recent performance as Karma, I don’t believe you 😛
-
I still need to work that character out… oh well, plenty of time to do that. You know, unless I play SC2 instead :p
I think they did it durnig the patch techy, check when you get home.
-
Okay well if I did get her, might use her as my support role character, we’ll see
If you played 10 games during season 1 you got a free Kayle skin which also unlocked Kayle for you if you didn’t already have her.
W000, free hero!
-
Sandwiches for all!!!!
-
I’m not sure if this is still current but if you “like” the LoL page on Facebook you unlock a skin for tristana (and her) for free.
-
My friend and I couldn’t get that one to work.
Super sadface. Aside from the bit where neither of us really wanted to play Tristana.
-
It worked for Jo IIRC
-
Worked for me too 🙂
-
I managed to get it to work as well but it took about 30 min of stuffing around.
I liked her. She seemes a bit like miss fortune but with more concentraited damage. The ability tho hop over walls is pretty good as well but her ulti takes more skill to use optimally.
-
-
I WANT INTERNET SO I CAN PLAY LOL! GOD DAMMIT!
-
So massive LoL get-together online tonight? Who’s in? Mags?
-
I am super duper keen. Who else is in, mags???
-
You’re evil 🙁
-
If I don’t squeeze in a game of LoL before this week’s hero rotation is over I’m going to be so. freaking. pissed. In the alcoholic kinda way!
What day does the rotation usually end?
-
The new rotation is usually on a Tuesday IIRC
-
Tuesdays pretty much
-
Friday!*
*Does not actually know. Just felt like making something up so I can contribute to the many many many many LoL coversations that appear on TAY. This message should be read in a ridiculously fast voice like the one in the end of commercials.
-
-
LoL tonight then?
-
Okay but we shouldn’t make this a regular thing. My valuable schedule of do nothing and sulk cause im bored is getting too interupted.
-
Failing that, heavy drinking on Tuesday if Harli misses the rotation?
-
Sound good! Harli’s shout!
-
It’s a plan. Or at least some drinking next weekend. I only drink socially and since im rarely social, i rarely drink. Pessimist has to do a beer run.
-
…Ginger beer?
I don’t drink.
-
I guess we could add some ginger to beer but that would taste weird.
-
Thats cool i wasn’t really planning on drink as i would rather speak less crap then i ussually do on TS. For the people who aren’t on TS it is quite alot. I mean blagh’s routinely thinks i am a giant deuce.
-
I think he considers you to be more of a douche than a deuce.
Sure, you can be a bit of a turd but I’m willing to back the douche idea more.
-
Bunny i don’t think you understand. Be nice to the guy who mocks himself. Come to think of it , i am pretty sure tv has lied to me in that respect. It doesn’t work with internet people or real life people!
-
I find the best way to mock yourself is to sarcastically be egotistical.
I’m so sarcastic, I can’t even keep track of whether I have ridiculously high or exceedingly low self-esteem.
So when I’m being mean, it isn’t out of spite but because my views of positive and negative are so skewed that I just go with what is amusing.
-
I just call myself fat and stupid because if I don’t get to it first someone else will.
-
-
-
You know what this means… MOCKTAILS FOR BISH!
Depends on what you’re mocking me about, really.
Can’t do tonight sadly. Sure, I’ll shout a round if you fellas come to Canberra for the meat.
-
Can you shout me a plane ticket as well then?
-
I can shout, would that help?
I WILL REPRESENT THIS BY TYPING IN CAPITALS -
If you rock up at the brisbane airport on the saturday and steal my tickets you can go.
-
Hey f4ction, I finally got your trackmania “friend request” 😀
-
Joy!
Does anyone here know anything about plumbing or washing machines?
-
Dude what don’t i know about that stuff.
(NOTHING AT ALL, I AM CLUELESS EVEN THOUGH MY TRADE RELIES ON ME DOING SOME PLUMBING STUFF) -
i know that they are both related
-
:/ thanks 😛
-
i live to give
-
-
-
Buy some plumbing tape.
PROBLEM SOLVEDSeriously though, don’t you just need to attach the washing machine to the specific washing machine taps, and the water drain pipe to… a water drainy place?
-
That’s pretty much exactly all we had to do – but maybe he’s having other problems?
Like maybe the washing machine is actually an oven
An oven from holland?
-
Haha, the problem was the drainage hose, the washing machine goes into an alcove, underneath a benchtop which is attached to a wall. There is a drainage hole next to the sink for the hose to go into, but no way to get the hose there. But I’ve just found out that on the S-bend underneath the laundry sink, there’s what’s called a “nipple” essentially a small pipe about 2cm in diameter that sticks out at a 45 degree angle. You drill a hole in the bottom of that pipe to get through the main pipe wall and then file out the hole until its the diameter of the “nipple”. The drainage hose then “suckles the nipple” (sorry couldn’t resist :P) and you put a Jubilee clip on there to hold it in place.
-
We helped!
\o/ -
You didn’t really but I’ll let you have your moment 😛
-
How new is your house… shouldn’t that have already been done?
-
4 months old. The previous tenant was weird though, he had a washing machine but he had the drainage hose going into a plastic bucket and he’d just sit near the washing machine and everytime it drained some water, it would fill up the bucket, he’d empty it and then put the hose back in..
-
LIAR! NO ONE IS THAT INSANE!
-
It’s true…
-
Hippies man, I tell ya… the day I get to rule the world, there’ll be some
executionschanges
-
-
-
I didn’t understand a word of that
A… Hollander Oven, huh?
That does seems to be something you would not want to wash your clothes.
-
No. He is taking a page from Q-bo’s book.
When all else fails, STICK IT IN THE OVEN.

Thanks for the link to the pick your champion thingy Jo. That will be quite helpful to me once I get my internet back..
Simple question… since Minecraft has been updated to v1.8, has anyone else noticed that it has become laggy?
I thought it was my crappy laptop but when i played it on a computer that can run it really smooth, i noticed that it was laggy on that as well.
-
I… think so?
I had some occasional freezes, but I haven’t played extensively enough to see if it’s a constant thing. -
I’ve had a few problems, and with the prerelease version I definitely had some problems. There’s theoretically a way to convince your java runtime thingy to allocate more RAM to Minecraft(which it should do automagically, but it’s a little borked at time), but I can’t confirm that it actually works (particularly as all it does is open Java to the possibility of using more RAM), or if it would help with stuttering.
In short, I’ve had minor problems but nothing too extreme…
Is this the right place to nominate everyone who wished me a happy birthday for Community Kudos?
Because even if it isn’t, consider this my nomination Tracey.
-
Theoretically you should email her (tracey-dot-lien-at-alluremedia-dot-com-dot-au (if you can actually translate that HAHAHAHAHA)), because she only seems to drop in here occasionally before refusing to watch the initiation video.
-
The one that’s banned in thirteen countries? 😐
Plus I’m pretty sure Conroy wants to filter it.

HAppy Birthday.
Have a great day dude.

Just joking but i actually hadn’t wished you well wishes.-
What Elton John’s brainchild just said.

I’ve done that a few times, my brain is all “Wait, Strange just said what?! Oh, right, Steve-O. That makes a whole lot more sense.”

What the hell is this BS? How dare Nintendo desecrate my 3DS with this crap.

You bastards desecrated the sanctity of my 3DS.
(Ok i might over exaggerating a little)

Don’t stop believing!
In your 3DS.
Is probably what they’re begging you to do.
So I’m already a quarter through the 5th book of A Song of Ice and Fire, and I only started it last night…the next book might not be out for years 🙁 this makes me really, really sad.
-
I know how you feel. I finished the latest Fate of the Jedi book last week, and now I have to wait till April next year for the next(last) book 🙁
Although, at least the release date has been set for it, unlike the next magical singing, icy fire book.-
Yeah, the last one took 6 years as well :/
-
@Bish/dawdle (since I think you both go to the same uni):
You have a McDonalds – ON CAMPUS?!

So, so jelly.
-
Well no, it’s off another block that’s next to the uni though.
If you’re on the lower bit of the campus, it’s a whole five minute walk, if even.
It’s good, you get to exercise briefly before ingesting that delicious plastic cheese. There’s a balance!-
I had that plastic cheese today. It’s deeply intimidating.

Awesome!
so, some people were talking about final fantasy 8 on my loving post about 10, may i just say that i hate 8, Squall is the most terrible character in the entire series of final fantasy, i hate him more than vaan, and that’s saying a lot…
-
http://i54.tinypic.com/2z4ecl4.jpg
He doesn’t even care, man.But seriously, I can see where you’re coming from. Start of FF8 Squall… man that guy. Maybe it was cliché and all, but character development.
I hate Snow. I mean, he wasn’t the mainest character, but I suppose he’s up there. Not useless backstory like Sazh.
But Snow.
“HERO”
“HEROOOOOOOOOOO”
“SERAH”
“HEROOOOOO”
I thoroughly enjoyed when Lightning punched him.-
See I liked Snow, but hated Lightning. Man that bitch was annoying. Granted, I only played the first couple of hours, but still..
-
I liked Lightning, she was a bitch, and there was no second part to it, I appreciated that part of her character initially.
-
This.
-
-
-
Yeah he was a bit annoying, but what about Zell? How many other RPG’s have featured a main character who has ADD?
Okay, I think I’ve found out something rather irritating. The input delay when typing in Chrome isn’t something that seems to be an issue because of Lion.
Turns out the only site that it’s happening consistently on is Kotaku. There is a noticeable delay between me typing something and it appearing in the textbox.
The weird thing is that it isn’t WordPress causing this. At least, not as far as I can see.
Long story short, the Kotaku WordPress theme is borked for Chrome in OS X Lion. Please fix.
-
Serious? Mine’s still happening in other websites every now and then..
-
It might not be exclusive to Kotaku but it is definitely the worst effected site.
-
in other news, my friend has given me the soundtrack to every Kingdom hearts game, so now it brings my final fantasy music counter up to over about 500 songs 😛
I have a cunning plan.
Gears is coming out soon. Next week, in fact. My usual tradition of beating the game in a single night with a friend is probably not going to happen.
Methinks there is a better alternative, what with the co-op now supporting four players.
Here’s what I’m thinking, I need to gather three friends to play the game on the weekend it comes out (probably the Saturday night) in an all-night co-op session over Xbox live. Three friends from here.
Three friends with access to TeamSpeak.
Then, we shall play this game until the bitter end and I shall record all of the madness. Well, not all of the madness, just the madness that happens to be visible on my screen and audible over TeamSpeak. This will become a Let’s Play.
So, volunteers?
-
Being drunk throughout the night is completely acceptable and somewhat expected.
Klutar and Blaghs have already nominated over Twitter, so if they’re actually serious there’s only one slot left.
-
I would absolutely have volunteered for this. Sounds like fun but I won’t be around. 🙁
-
If we do it the Friday night afterwards I can, but if you want to do it over the weekend I’ll be busy with Can’d Meat.
-
Speaking of Can’d Meat, I’m now absolutely definitely going to be able to make it. We’ve booked all our accomodation (even staying somewhere with the awesome name of Boggabilla on the Friday night to kick things off) and I’ll definitely be in Canberra by Sunday mid-morning-ish.
-
Yay.
-
-
-
-
Oh, right. Can’d meat. That’s going to make things a little awkward.
-
If you do it the friday night, I don’t need sleep.
-
On page 11, it’s working fine. On this page it is borked. Methinks it has something to do with the amount of comments present on the page. Just a guess really.
-
Reply button? What’s wrong with you dammit?
Alpha Protocol Y/N?
I have a sudden craving for espionage.
-
If you have Deus Ex why would you need Alpha Protocol?
-
Good point. But when Deus Ex finally finishes (after all these hours! :P) I’m thinking of what else to get.
Plus it’s so cheap 😀
-
Alpha protocol was so bug ridden and broken that they didn’t bother patching it.
It’s an interesting game. Imagine DX crossed with Mass Effect 2 with thousands of game breaking glitches and that’s AP.
-
But there were glimpses of promise, if you dig deep enough.
-
It’s only $17 from OzGameShop (that looks like the cheapest, unfortunately) and I reckon I can justify that to my internal accountant.
-
I would have played it for $17.
But DEUS EX? -
I’m still battling through Deus Ex!
Right now I’m at the start of Hengsha (the first time, ’cause someone told me there’s multiple times…) – but I’ve got two weeks of uni holidays coming up and I should be able to finish it off in the next few days.
A combination of wanting to explore/read everything and reloading every 4 seconds because I get shot in the face is making for a long playthrough…
-
oh, and playing as non-lethal is really damn difficult.
There’s no (very little) ammo for the tranq rifle! Then I accidentally sold my stun gun and had to melee everyone for about four hours until I found another one.
D:
-
Q is the best.
-
-
I only jsut got to Hengsha myself – well more correctly, I’m about to board the chopper to go to Hengsha.
I’m not really even trying to be subtle or stealthy and I’m having a decent amount of fun with it. About all I’ve put Praxis into are to improve my hacking. I do enjoy tranquing/stunning people, but I also figure if I’m lugging a combat rifle and have like a bajillion upgrades in my pistol I might as well kill some dudes too.
MY wife went for a no-kill run on her first playthrough and it turns out there’s a chance people die if you tranq them in the head. No achievement for her. I decided to not even try.
-
-
Y/N…it is a bit like that. I like it, but it aint the greatest…
oh my god, this Tokyo game show has almost killed me from a heart attack as a Square Enix fan. first they announce final fantasy X in HD then… this happens…

oh… my… god…

i think… i’m… gonna die…
just… can’t… think…

Sweet holy crap – that’s brilliant!
-
Constructive criticism – you need to tidy up the text in photoshop – it looks far too disjointed – as we all know, star wars text is mostly conjoined and flows neatly
If you fix that, this shirt, imo, would be as flawless as you can get
-
I owe you a beer and possibly a man hug! Maybe even a quickie round the back of the bike sheds, but I’m not promising!
Click the link again for the cleaned up version.
I always welcome constructive crtisism so thanks SO much for that!

Much better – awesome mate 🙂

Does anyone have a dead island collectors edition they are willing to sell?
Greetings from Taiwan, I have 80 goddam email!!!
GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Delicious food?
-
Jimuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! 😀
-
Those aren’t really women!
-
Hope you be having a ball!
If you were in Thailand, chances are you’d be having two with a penis thrown in.
Remember that next time you decide to leave us!
-
And I was just thinking that I missed Jimu.
-
Hey Jimu! Bring back some nice street food to us, please? 😀
I am back! I had a two week hiaitus on account of moving from Geelong to Brisbane and my internet has only just come back on (Wireless broadband is not cut out to handle Kotaku) so I’ve got a lot to catch up on!
-
Brisbane? Now you get to Meat us! At this stage our next Meat is sometime in November.
-
Awesome 😀
-
Can’d Meat!
-
God damn!
didn’t paste link.
Epic fail.
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c268/cronotriggr/CandMeat.jpg
-
Also also, ME!
-
A Actually had “Meet Kotaku’s First Lady!” there, but I didn’t want the other Taybies to get all jealous.
-
FIXED!
-
Yay! Also, your canned mystery meat is suitably disgusting-looking.
-
I did try to make it fairly unappealing. Was going to use pet food, but settled for this.
-
Why is there a piece of carrot in there!?
That’s kind of healthy!
Blech. -
Also pet food isn’t thaaaaaaat bad.
-
I couldn’t find any decent pics in the 2.3 seconds I spent looking so I instantly changed tactics.
The carrot also suffered most from the deforming of the image.
Now it’s a mutant carrot.
Which sounds 400% more yumtastic!
-
-
-
Epic Meals!
Snacks!
Things!
I… I’m so happy!
ಥ◡ಥ
-
Also you get to meet me. I forgive you if you are speechless from my awesomeness, it’s okay bish you don’t have to be nervous I am as cool as I seem.
-
Imagine my excitement.
:I -
You like me Bish just admit it!
-
Perfect!

This was supposed to be in response to What’s t-shirt higher up the page. Commenting fail. 🙁

What?! I wish I’d seen that before sending off my Kudos noms just then. 😛
-
-
That cosplay is glorious.
-
HAHAHA I LOVE IT!
Shapes Roadies.
Stupid name, awesomely flavourful snackasaurus’.
-
!
I knew these existed!
The other night I was all “I saw Shape thingies on the TV but not Shapes” but then I couldn’t find them. 🙁
It’s FRIDAY!
Morning! So what did people have for breakfast? I had a toasted peanut butter and nutella sammich. It was gewd.
-
I had work up late then remebered i had to take my little cousin to work experience then didn’t get time for breakfast. So now i am drinking a bottle of water to break the fast
-
the first work is meant to be woke**
-
-
THE HEART OF A YOUNG AFRICAN CHILD
With PB.-
Nice did it taste like win or was it all disgusting and heart like. Also is it hard to aquire such a breakfast item?
-
The Bish who mounts the world!
-
-
Coffee + Bacon and Egg sandwhich = Delicious. Great way wake up after a complete fail at trying to sleep last night.
*Death stares Dues Ex*
-
D: I’m sorry Dues Ex how could I stay mad at you!!!
-
i wish i could be bothered going to effort in the morning. I will go to effort at lunchtime and no more!
-
Effort?
I wake up, take a shower, sleep on the train for approx. 40mins walk 2 mins to my office and pick up my breakfast from the little cafe on the lobby of where I work.
Not much effort there
-
-
-
Milo cereal 😛
Then in the city I got a dare espresso iced coffee, delicious!
-
I’m just finishing a nice ham and cheese croissant washed down with a can of Coke Zero.
-
:\
Coke with ham and cheese? That would just be weird….
-
-
I have yet to feed, I didn’t have the time to chase down anything for breakfast. But when I do, I will be lazy and most likely have a packet of salt & vinegar chips with a bottle of V. Mmm healthy.
-
My exam diet is V, M&M’s and various chocolates. Totally healthy, right?
-
The V bottle is green. There are green M&Ms. Green is healthy. Therefore yes totally healthy.
-
I remember reading somewhere that a good indication of the healthiness of the meal should be the number of colors. You need at least three. M&M’s have lots of colors. Nutritional Win!
-
See, here’s the thing…
If something in your fridge turned green, you’d throw it out. Ergo, if something is green it cannot be good for you.

Had to go to the hospital this morning so I picked up Orange juice, hash-brown and sausage & egg muffin from McDonalds.
Asked a mate I worked with at Optus to check my emails for anything important after six months of not paying attention (I gave him admin access to my account before I left. Got to love being the tech guy).
I had exactly 1337 emails.
I feel that this is an achievement, and a testament to how awesome I am.
-
Pics or it didn’t happen human
-
I’ll ask him to send one over! 😀
-
That’s better 🙂

*BLIP BOOP*
Achievement Unlocked
So.. Caitlyn = my pick for AD ranged, just playing as her once was enough to impress me, she’s so much fun to play as!
-
I’m liking Tristana for AD ranged at the moment. I haven’t tried Kaitlyn yet though.
-
Only cuz you finally beat my Rammus play with her right? 😉
See this is why I’m trying to have mastery at multiple roles, to keep you guys guessing at who I’ll be next since I can do pretty much anything (Even jungler eventually)
-
Yeah I’m actually enjoying trying out different roles, which is funny – not sure if you remember but in our first few games we played together on team-speak I was adamant that Veigar was the champion I was going to stick with 😛 I really want to find an assassin too – Akali was looking good, same with Katarina as they are both mana-less.
-
And lovely looking women, amirite? 😉
Riven looks like she has a lot of potential too, if you’re wanting an AD assassin. Xin Zhao would be another to look at too
-
Katarina looks the best at the moment – her passive (bonus gold and cool-down reduction for kills) really rewards ganking, which is well-suited to my aggressive play-style. Blaghs sure was dishing out buttloads of damage with Riven though, and I’ve been smashed by Xin Zao in many games.
-
Riven is tough, at least for me. I’m used to Sion, who just kind of stands around, gets hit in the face, and shrugs it off, so having someone so squishy is a definite change. Still, I couldn’t get to sleep last night, so I attempted jungling, and she has promise (though I’d definitely need runes if I wanted to do it properly).
-
I would also like to add, last night, after feeding the Riven for the first part of the game(only a little, but still, a bit), I got into a straight up head smash contest with her, and even though she was at least a level above me (I think two), and backed up by a fair number of creeps, I might have won by myself(Gorzy came in at the last second, got a clutch heal in, and sealed the victory).
-
Riven is an extremely difficult champion to master. I mean sure you might do good damage early game but if you can’t get her skill/auto-attack timing prefect you are definately going to be out skilled late game.
I’ll just stick with Talon 🙂
-
I’ve found that with a few cooldown reducing items, so long as you alternate abilities with auto-attacks, you can keep a constant stream of damage(and more importantly, the bonus damage autos), with enough burst power for if the try to escape. The problem then is that she still has bugger all health, so you’ve got to avoid being targeted.
-
-
-
Sorry Tech Knight, I totally belong to Harli so therefore you are not allowed to play me anymore.
-
*sniffs* But Caitlyn…
*cries* Rejected again! Why do all girls reject me like this? Is it cuz I’m a robot?
-
I bet you just like kill-stealing Dwarven Sniper style! 😀
-
That’s my girl.
-
Yay, Dead Island arrived last night.
Now I thought this was a game I might have a bit of fun with, but by all the gods, I absolutely love this game.
I am not sure why, it’s just another FPS game. Just another zombie game. Yet for some reason in this combination this has become so much bloody fun (pun totally intended… a couple of minutes after I wrote it). It really surprised how much I have enjoyed playing it.
But now I must go without until Sunday evening. Oh the horror, the misery, the pain!
Stupid family. Stupid farm without electricity. Not fair.
*sulks*
-
But human… those voice actors! /o\
-
I know, at first I shuddered everytime I heard them, but then for some reason they started to grow on me.
Guess I am used to Americans doing very dodgy Aussie accents.-
Yeah I’ve only seen gameplay footage. I cringe every time one of them opens their mouth, especially Steve Blum’s attempt at an aussie accent… *shudders*
-
The other two which are truly hideous, is the doctor and the guy on the radio.

-
We’ll have to co-op sometime after my copy arrives and you finish your Barbarian labour.
-
Much with the yes yes. This looks like it would be awesome co-op.

Sorry, I just found this picture and found it hilarious. It’s not really applicable as a response, but i don’t care.
Late for work this morning, so I skipped breakfast. Upon getting to work, I found a packet of Mi Goreng noodles in my draw, so am currently eating them with a coffee.
Mi Goreng and coffee – breakfast of champions. And Deve-Os.
-
I find myself oddly intrigued by this combination….
-
It’s not great. The chilli in the noodles really isn’t playing well with the coffee. Still, beats eating the 2 year old biscuits in the lunchroom.
-
-
Are… you.. eating them RAW??!
-
Semi-Raw. The microwave isn’t working, but I did let them sit in hot water for a bit. They just feel stale, somewhere between chewy and crunchy. :/
-
-
That better be the Mi Goreng noodles soaking IN the coffee that would be EPIC.
-
*shudders*
-
I’ve done that (coffee goreng, as we called it), it’s actually surprisingly good. For rich snooty kids at an expensive private school, we were really cheap.
-
So, explosion in Canberra: http://www.news.com.au/national/explosions-as-firefighters-battle-large-industrial-fire-in-canberra/story-e6frfkvr-1226138498082
I know you were all wondering: I’m okay. I’m even at work (damn it).
I saw the Can’d Meat poster, and suddenly didn’t want breakfast anymore.
PS: I’ve ordered 50 copies of my book, and hope to sign and distribute them myself (possibly even at Can’d Meat).
-
GORRAM IT!
I already purchased your book on amazon. How am i meant to get it signed now? lol I am actually really wanting to read it it seems quite interesting. -
*Flings hand wildly in air like school-boy*
ME! ME! I WANT ONE! PICK ME!
-
So, for those not going to this VIP event, are the rest of us grunts able to purchase this (signed) book directly from you?
-
I don’t know, but it’s only little. Might be possible to post around cheaply… Will have to wait until I see it.
Maybe can get some sort of ‘swap’ happening where you send me your copy and I sign it and return it.
I don’t want to leave my early customers high and dry, so will do my best!
-
WOOOO! I delete my book from my cart!
I shall buy from you!!!!
Will you personalise it?
“To the Doctor who makes everything better, all my love, Shane <3"
DO IT! DO IT NOW!
-
This morning I received an email from Amazon telling me my expected delivery date was towards the end of November so I cancelled it and ordered it from the other place. I’d still love to purchase a signed one from you though! One for reading, one for collecting.
-
Also, that place is awesome.
“Your Better World Books Account has been created! This is officially a good thing.” 😀-
Yes, and your books will send you a message when they get posted, saying how excited they are about the upcoming journey. I love BWB. 🙂
-
-
Mine is coming on October 31 woah. I remember why i never order with amazon!
-
-
This sounds most excellent and I would like to subscribe to this service.
-
The explosion was in Mitchell? HAHAHA. Those poor prostitutes.(I was completely unaware of this until you pointed it out)
-
Yeah, all the Northside schools are closed. Which means I get to chill in the office all day!
-
Anyone here listen to SYN FM on the radio this morning?
Because I WAS ON DA RADIO WOOO!!!
My and my bro got interviewed for the Lame Game Marathon, everything went super smooth, guess our past podcast experience paid off 😀
-
Huzzah.
Looks like this thing is really happening. My poor bandwidth.
-
woob woob woob.
Have fun with that dude, well wishes for all participating. Have fun with superman 64 -

BRILLIANT!
Average ship takes 18-20 parsecs!
Word of advice never help co-workers. I spent a few minutes trying to help this dude with some warranty stuff, only to a few minutes later being told to F Off because no one listens to me. Even though he asked for help. They are like little children saying ” No let me do it i know how you idiot.” I swear they will be the reason i die from stress related causes in my early 50’s
-
Seriously dude, it sound like you work with a bunch of dicks. If they’re causing you this much trouble maybe you should see the HR manager or something, things won’t get better by themselves. Failing that let down their tires.
-
The HR manager is the biggest of the dicks. Continually talking down to me and my boss who is actually pretty awesome is never here half the time. I like my job and i don’t wanna quit cause only one more year till i finish my apprenticeship so thats good means i will have some qualifications to leave here with but currently i just have to lump it!
-
I didn’t know you were still an apprentice – it’s definitely worthwhile putting up with crap until you get it. Then the oyster is your world, or something like that.
Also, what trade will you get? Electrician?
-
I come out as a full electrician, but my trade is called instrumentation. I basically use flow and pressure sensing devices, run cables and such. The apprenticeship is awesome just work people not so much. I even for a time considered it must be me cause they don’t pick on each other as much but then i reconsidered cause i am awesome.
-
Still an apprentice? Definitely just tough it out until it’s over and jump ship the first chance you can.
-
Yeah thats the plan bunny. Also my town is crap I hopefully can move to the city after next year. Take a job as a instrument fitter for lots a moneys.
-
By tough it out, I mean raise your complaints through the appropriate channels but stick around until the company has nothing more to offer you :p
That was a horrible choice of phrase on my end.
-
-
-
I’m getting stuck in the whole “Nobody can do anything right without me” category atm. We got a few new guys whom I’ve been teaching about our product, how to activate, how to set up, etc, and they still can’t figure it out. I’m always having to repeat myself despite I gave them step by step instructions and it’s getting old fast
If you’re expecting to die in your early 50s, then this is probably just a mid-life crisis.
That being said, start looking for new work. Start talking to HR. Don’t put up with this shit, it isn’t worth the stress.
Pretty much what Steve-O and Trjn said. You have your rights, don’t be afraid to take it up with HR or higher management. If you don’t want to talk about it in person, you can write a letter/email. That way it’s on record. If you like, I can help you out with this!
Anything’s better then saying nothing at all. You deserve better Rocketman!
-
Paper trails are good if things get nasty. Actually, they’re just good office practice anyhow (which is why I don’t use them much :P).
If you send an email to HR/management raising a complaint, it’s a lot harder for them to deny things.
-
I’m actually really big on paper trails. I feel a bit silly sending an email to somebody who is sitting next to me sometimes when I could just turn around and ask for their thoughts on something, but everybody understands. I hope.
-
Too much Carmen Sandiego as a kid?
-
-
People (and by people I mean RaygunBrown) were going HNNNGH HNNHGH HNNNGH over this last night, and I haven’t seen a Kotaku story/TAY post about it yet:
http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/09/15/lucasarts-hiring-for-new-aerial-combat-title/
Looks interesting. I’m kinda excited to see where they’re going with this.
-
Never played the old Xwing or Tie Fighter games, but I something deep down in me has be aching for a good space dogfight shooter, so…
HNNNGH HNNNGH HNNNGH
-
I’m in the same boat.
I’m on a boat!

-
Any possibility of it being a new Rogue Squadron?
(@Tadmod’s post that’s literally half way up this page…)
I once left Twitter open in a browser tab for long enough that when I cam back, it said there were 42 new tweets. It wasn’t till after I had clicked it that I thought I should have taken a screenshot though 🙁

Dear LoL’er,
Siv HD’s guides have some brilliant idea, in using skills and the environment to his advantage, and they are funny!
-
This guy is good for the LOL’s!!
(seewhatididthar…?)
-
Remember me saying I’m searching for an AP fighter? I’m gonna pick Skarner!
-
Sion is a pretty good AP tanky fighter if your looking for one. He also just got buffed this patch didn’t he?
-
Yeah but Sion is Blaghman’s signature champion and I don’t want to take that from him. Besides, Skarner’s ulti is boss for dragging stragglers into your party for a whole lot of pain!
-
Rammus was my signature champion and that did not stop you 🙂
-
There’s no Janna guide, I’m safe from champion poaching!
-
Jo!
Where have you been these past few days? 🙁Also, hahaha.
-
On LoL?
I dunno, I feel like I have hit my natural skill ceiling and I am just getting frustrated instead of having fun lately.
Maybe I will be on tonight, see how we go. -
Plateauing is a myth.
I think the problem is more stagnation than skill. Mix things up a little, mayhap?
-
Agreed with Rabbit. You can easily try more roles in solo queue and see if your ally/enemy uses Brand/Rammus, see how they move, use their abilities, escape, chase down and their item builds. Observation is always a strong tool in improving your own skills, especially once you know the mechanics of the game and the champion being played
-
But… solo queue.
-
Well using TotalBiscuit’s advice, go with just one partner and lane with him/her rather than going completely solo. So bare minimum, one other
-
-
Perhaps.
I have a loose rule with multiplayer games that when I reach the point where I am getting angry over performance instead of having fun then it’s time to stop playing.
But I shall see how we go.
-
-
I thought it was Brand 😉
He’s just so intimidated by my pro Sion play that he doesn’t dare to attempt to play him. >.>
No mainly because it’s the only champion you ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO PLAY
Pshh, I know how to play lots of other heroes.
…
There’s uhhh…
ummm…
ooohhh…
Honestly, there’s Cho’Gath, who, even though I don’t own, I am decent at, and uhh… ok, that’s probably about it. (I was getting decent at skillshots with Ezriel…)
Yeah, you should get some practice in with them or others with similar skillsets so you’re not a one trick player. Otherwise your opponents will know your strengths and weaknesses before you even begin the match.
Currently I can go from a Ranged AP to a tank to a melee AD carry without losing much of my skill since I know how to use them and have my own builds for them
I have more than one trick!
It’s just that my other tricks are rather bad.
This is why I bought Urdnot and Riven, and I’ve started playing as Rammus sometimes. I’m still outclassed by both you and Jo as Rammus, but at least it’s a small amount of variety.
I hope my Rammus play has been showing you good examples of how Rammus can be used in an optimised fashion, such as taunting mages over melee and ranged, when to use defensive ball curl, diving turrets using a defensive ball curl/tremors combo, etc.
People know my Alistar thing that I do now.
I am too old to learn anything else.
What do.
Bish –
Get a skin.
Pretend it’s a new hero.
Hope no-one notices…
It’s funny because all of his skins look pretty much the same.
ಠ_ಠ
Speaking of skins, Rugged Garen is an attractive man.
Just going to throw that out there.
Rugged, eh?
I personally prefer commando Garen, he looks like an imperial guard!
So you prefer when he goes commando and Bish likes him rugged.
Everybody’s gay for Garen?
anybody keen for a LCT on our minecraft server tonight?
-
I’d love to! I haven’t been on Minecraft for so long. Around what time?
-
Umm around 7.30 i guess. Fatshady said the server was now running 1.8 so we should be good.
-
Hopefully I can join in! Looking forward to getting back into some MC action. Somewhere new!
-
WHat makes you think you are invited you, you abandoner. Just kidding. It will be cool to play around i also might record it just for the lolz. I lost my other footage a little while ago while i was backing up my hdd.
-
Yeah, recording will be sweet, but I’ve got no mic, my crappy one which no one could barely hear doesn’t even get recognized when I plug it in now 🙁 Otherwise I’d be in teamspeak. I am trying to get a new interface which will hopefully sort my mic situation out, but I’m not wasting money again on another usb microphone.
-
-
-
OOh, oooh, pick me, pick me! Also, I seem to have lost the server IP thingy, so if someone can email it to me, that would be great.
-
emailed you the server details.
-
Danke schoen.
-
LCT?
-
Leather Cap Tour, tis only for real manly men who show their whimsy to the wild by wearing cow parts in a cap form on ones head.
-
Haha I see!
-
Qbo will you be there tonight?
-
Hopefully! I’m feeling a bit worn out now, so i know i’ll need a nanna nap. if i get a chance after i pick up the kids to nap, ill certainly be there 😀 Maybe, if I can convince Jada to post in here, she will join us! first Daddy-Daughter flint and steel team on kotaku server ftw!
-
So cute 🙂
I guess that means I better find a way to hop on tonight!
-
-
I won’t be able to join tonight, but next week sometime 😀
/me ties on a number 4 bob-tail lure.

Q-BO! OH Q. Q. I’ve missed you so. It’s just, something happened while you were gone…
Uhh, there’s someone I think you should meet. *Steps to the side to reveal a miniature version of you*
-
I call him toby, he is my penis.
-
-
I remember fondly the time when TAY was ruled by Loops/Q-bo man-love and the only lol was something about laughing. Ahhh, the good old days. 😛
-
Yeah… I do apologize for the lack of me in here. I will try harder maam. *tips hat, bows, blows kiss to loops*
-
Ist hat all you’re going to blow, sweet thing?
-
-
-
Q-bo and cookie monster love?
-
That’s right. TAY used to be cool.
Now it’s super mega awesome spectacular cool.
Oh, quick serious question, whats the best way to get mail to Tracey?
-
You’ve come to the right place!
Send and email to tracey-dot-lien-at-alluremedia-dot-com-dot-au If you can translate that. You’ll probably know if it worked, as unlike Mark she is actually good at replying to mail.-
Cheers you sweet rodent harbouring man lover of mine 😀
-
Wow!1 She IS GOOD! Already received a confirmation! Thanks Tracey! 😀
-
Gone are the days when you’d send an email to Mark and wonder for months if he got it 😛
-
-
Good morning everyone! I finally got my washing machine all installed last night. Had to take off the S-bend underneath the laundry sink, drill a hole through the end of the nipple and file it out, then fit the drainage hose over the end of the nipple and secure it on there with a jubilee clip. I think that means I’m a qualified plumber now? 😛
Also, bought a microwave last night, it’s so big. Should have gotten a smaller one. My bench at home is now taken up with so much microwave.
Also, TFIF!
-
*giggles*
-
It’s because I said nipple isn’t it? 😛
-
*giggles again*
-
Don’t stare at his teats! He doesn’t like that.
-
-
-
You sire are now a manliest of men. I never fix anything at home just because i don’t want to stuff it up and be blamed for it crapping itself.
-
Even more so because I’m in a rental and I’d risk the wrath of the owners if I stuffed anything up? 😛
I got their approval for the work to be done, but they wanted me to pay for a plumber. I got a quote but I wasn’t going to pay someone $120 to do something that took me all of 10mins..
-
I always laugh when people get plumbers in to replace washers or equally simple things. Some people are just so bad with practical skills. :/
-
Or get dentists to drill there teeth. Stuff that i know how to drill!
-
I actually need to see a dentist. You mind taking a look for me?
-
-
Yeah I don’t really understand it. If all else fails, Google will help you! I mostly just ring friends parent’s or my Grandad if I’m not sure on something and they tell me what I need to do. Most of it is relatively easy stuff!
-
I agree with that my grandad is awesome for knowing how to fix shit. he fixed my bike and my car when it wouldn’t work about 3 weeks into it. Turns out you need water in the radiator!
-
Haha, who’d have thought 😛 well you need coolant in the radiator, water will help you if you’re in a pinch, but it isn’t good for your radiator..
-
-
I’ll stay clear of your kitchen then
-
Haha, there’s still plenty of bench space, I just saw the 1100w compared to the 850w and I thought “the 1100w will cook my food faster, that’s gotta be a good thing”, took it home, realised it looked out of place because it’s so big. Oh well :/
Celebrate by microwaving some foil!
(Don’t actually do this)
-
Hahaha, I microwaved my sister’s Barbie once..
-
and….?
What happened!!?!
-
It turned into a bubbling pool of plastic, the microwave really stunk and broke about a week later. I got sent to my room without dinner and my sister didn’t talk to me for a week 😛
-
So, you were able to go to your room, avoiding a dinner from a stinky microwave and you didn’t have to talk to your sister for a week? Sounds like a win-win situation to me.
-
Haha well my mother never uses the microwave for cooking and she’s possibly the most amazing cook in the entire universe, so not getting dinner SUCKED. Not speaking to my sister was pretty good though..
-
-
*note CD can be substituted in place of foil
-
also grapes. Grapes in a microwave flash in to plasma and such….very dangerous but very cool. Be warned, they explode…
This Gears of War 3, 4 player co-op Let’s Play thing is going to happen, dammit.
Methinks the idea of playing it through in a single night might be a bit much to ask. Here’s the new plan. I gather four companions and the weekend it comes out we find a time where we play for at least three hours. Really get stuck into things.
Then for the week or so after, we have arranged gaming sessions where we play uninterrupted so that we can record in piece and beat the game reasonably quickly.
The hard part will be coordinating four people to all be available. That and finding four people :p
Also, we shall be playing on the hardest difficulty available by default. This is the law of the land and I will not abide any miscreants who dare challenge it.
-
As I’ve said, the Friday night will be best for me, or, more accurately, the only time for me, so it could work. And I think it’s one of the damn games with a locked difficulty setting, so we’ll be doing it on the second hardest difficulty really.
-
I’m fine with Friday night if we can get others to also participate at that time.
And yeah, Gears locks off Insane until you’ve beaten the campaign, so we’ll be playing Hardcore.
There’s also an arcade mode with scores and whatnot. You can apparently play through the campaign with that on without affecting much else, so that’s going to happen as well. Why? Because points, bitches!
-
I am intrigued is there local multi-player on gears 3.
-
There was in Gears 1 and 2. Not sure about 3 but considering the emphasis on co-op, I’d be shocked if they locked out LAN multiplayer and only had split-screen or Xbox Live as the available options.
-
-
Scores? Oh dear. This will end badly.
-
Ending badly is the best.
-
Halo 2 disagrees with you…
-
That wasn’t ending badly, that was simply ending before it was finished.
-

-
I missed Jimu dammit!! 🙁
So Blaghman tested fireworks in preparation for CandMeat?
-
God, I wish. Although, they scare my Guinea Pigs, so even if fireworks were still legal here I wouldn’t get them.

Nooooooooo!
Fireworks Scare My Guinea Pigs : The Rock Musical-
We didn’t scare the guinea pigs
To the tune of we didn’t start the fire.
Someone make this song. -
It would probably flow better as “We didn’t scare the piggies,” with the list being everything you can get away with doing in Canberra that you can’t elsewhere.
-
Prostitutes, roundabouts,
Girls who get their ta-ta’s out,
Politicians, carp fishing,
Driving to the snow.

-
We didn’t scare the guinea pigs
Fireworks were burning
They just kept their wheel a-turnin’
We didn’t scare the guinea pigs
Even when there were droppings by-it
It was just the fibre in their diet -

Anybody else on Vodafail (NSW) and finding that 3G ain’t working?
-
I used to be on 3 and 3G rarely worked for me outside of the CBD, but that’s another issue entirely.
As is Vodafail following me on Twitter this morning.
-
I’m on Vodafail in WA and have been having trouble with 3G yesterday and today. Same with my girlfriend..
-
You have phones in WA!?
-
-
So, that thing in Canberra wasn’t a Western Australian trying to send a long distance smoke signal?
-
It was, they don’t make the string long enough for the tin can phone :/
-
Over here, the tin can phone is a sign of wealth and prestige!

Everyone in my family has a tin can phone..

Fare thee well my fellow TAYers.
Parting is such sweet sorrow, mmm sweet.
Know that as I toil away under a merciless sun, grubbing in the dirt, swarmed by millions of insects, I will be thinking of you my dear friends… and cursing you all out of jealousy that you can play your games and I can’t!
I kid, I kid… kind of.
-
Oh man, I love playing games!
High fives for anyone who is going to be playing games this weekend!

I’ll be playing games too! Aren’t we lucky?!

How’s the internet plan going?
Getting Telstra to connect up a landline on Saturday (one hopes)? When are TPG (or whoever) able to sweep in and do their stuff?-
Well TPG refuse to speak to me about it until the line is connected so I’ll be calling them on Saturday afternoon. Then I think it takes around about 5 working days for that to be connected so by next weekend, I SHOULD be online again.
By the way, if I’m paying $100 to get out of a contract with Telstra so I can sign with TPG, do I notify Telstra first or sign up with TPG, then notify?

Poor Hugo 🙁
My old man is going away for the weekend and i have to cat-sit.
In a house with a brand new 65″ LED TV and 7.2 surround system.
Know that as I game away, wearing nothing but luminous glow from the screen, surrounded by glorious munchies and refreshing ales, I may think of you and laugh.
I kid, I kid… kind of.
😛-
“wearing nothing but luminous glow from the screen” Remind me to not let you house-sit ever.

Have a wonderful time Hugo, I heard it’s going to be 30 degrees this weekend!! w00p!

So who’s going to the Canberra Meet?
I have a bit of a song stuck in my head leading from the scared guinea pigs before, and I’m not very productive at work so I may as well get it out, but I don’t want to miss anyone.
-
oh oh im going
and blagh’s, strange, bish, pessimist, harli, jamie watt, BDKIAFand others i can’t remember

When people use my real name it makes me smile.
It means people remember me for some reason.

Rocketman, Strange, Bish, Ruffleberg, Harli, AP, Doc What?, Shane, BDKIAF, Pixel Ferret, and I.
Theoretically.

Nobody wanted to pay to get me to go.
Sadface.

I offered to shout loudly!

Strange as it sounds, there doesn’t appear to be many airlines that accept that as payment.

I’ve gone back to 1988!
-
“September 16, 2011 at 2:04 PM
I’ve gone back to 1988!”
I think you might be fibbing.
-
Or grammatically incorrect.
I went back to 1988!
Clearly Q-bo has made the return journey already.
-
correction, I was looking in the mirror and notice my fashion has not changed since 1988. This is saddening news, I need some ass crack showing to be hip i think.
-
Wow, if I looked in the mirror and saw I was wearing the same stuff I was wearing in 1988, my first thought would be:
HOW THE HELL DID I FIT INTO THESE TINY CHILDRENS CLOTHES?
I would then put on something more suitable for adult.
-
If I were to look in the mirror and see myself wearing the clothes I wore in 1988 I’d go “yup, I’m still naked.”
-
Wow. You were naked in 1988 huh?
I haven’t been naked since, oh, myst have been about 1997…
We went camping, you see. My, Harry, Sadie and Urflaviat, the mountain goblin. We had just pitched the tent, and Almagius Iron-forger XR58-S with the reinforced fibre glass frame and double waterfroofed beaver hide outer skin. The ropes were made from the tail of the rare albino stallion, “Tango&Cash” who ran in the 12:45 at hampstead in 1945. It was a Saturday. Everything was looking good. Harry had gone hunting and reyrned having caught a family of wild hamburgers. We had to let them go as we had to way of catching wild hamburger buns.
I Decided to go for a swim fully clothed, as was the style at the time, and so I made my way to the river and dived in. The water was a warm -25° C. I could feel the piranahs gently nibbling the flesh from my feet. It tickled somewhat. I’d liken the feeling to being brushed by a german deer’s face bone. But i’d be lying, as it wasn’t like that at all.
After my swim I returned to shore to discover I was now naked. This was unusual and I could only surmise that my clothed had disolved somehow, in the river water. I returned to camp and discovered that Urflaviat, the mountain goblin had managed to hunt and kill a turnip and two rocks, so we had them for dinner. The next day we all went home and I got dressed.
I never heard from any of them again. I think they died in an unfortunate flour mill disaster. It seems a group of Lybian terrorists had taken over the local flour mill in an attempt to extort £5.99 from the mayor in order to by a McChicken McCheese from Wendy’s. Sadly, the Mayor was running short that week, so they had to follow through with their plan and they stole a bag of flour.
Sadly, the explosive hidden in the bag to prevent theft went off upon their exit from the mill and took out half the town.
And THAT is why you don’t take candy from strangers.
-
This is why you don’t type long replys on iPhones.

I liked that story.
And to clarify, my clothes in 1988 were non-existant, as I was too.
-
-
-
So I still have a spare copy of Terraria left from my attempt to give them away earlier in the week.
Anyone want it?
-
I’d say me…
But I have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many games to play!
Give it to someone more needy!
-
Yeah I’m the same as What, a kind and tempting offer but I’ve got a lot of games and not enough time to play them all haha
-
I always wanted to try Terraria but I’d probably be too distracted by LoL – so I’m sure there are more worthy people.
-
I didn’t see there was a giveaway… I’d be interested to give it a try if it’s still available. You should be able to find me on the Kotaku steam group?
-
If you do want it I’ll send it through when I get home. I had a bit of trouble sending to Jamesmag, so I may need your email. Possibly. I don’t understand Steam gifting.
-
Cool, thanks! Email is batguy.kotaku@gmail.com if you need it. Though, hmm, not sure if that’s my steam email, or if that even matters.
I guess trying to gift can be the first part of the adventure!

D: LIES!

I find I disagree with a lot of these statements. It’s not that hard to organise time to LAN, even with other commitments. And people still have time to game and get immersed in stories when they’re older, I mean I’m young but the age of some people in this community is enough to refute that point. Plus some of these people have kids and jobs as well, yet still manage to game..
-
I just thought it was cool how it is basically about your perception at the time as opposed to “everything is different and wrong now”
-
Yeah definitely, that was one of the points I agreed with. The industry is basically the same as it was back then, just focussed on different platforms/gametypes. Although I think story has a evolved a little bit…for example, something like Deus Ex, compared to Super Mario…

Everyone but Blaghman please ignore this post.

“It’s not that hard to organise time to LAN, even with other commitment” – I dunno, speaking as one of the fogey brigade, it’s funny how even very reasonable work, wife and kid can make it really difficult to even coordinate an hour of multiplayer with other people.
It’s not that I don’t have the time, it’s just that I don’t necessarily have it when I want it – such as when all the other people are gathering to play!
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson went on a camping trip. After sharing a good meal and a bottle of Petrie wine, they retire to their tent for the night.
At about 3 AM, Holmes nudges Watson and asks, “Watson, look up into the sky and tell me what you see?”
Watson said, “I see millions of stars.”
Holmes asks, “And, what does that tell you?”
Watson replies, “Astronomically, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Theologically, it tells me that God is great and we are small and insignificant. Horologically, it tells me that it’s about 3 AM. Meteorologically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Holmes?”
Holmes retorts, “Someone stole our tent.”

I have a song stuck in my head.
It might be because I’ve been listening to the album that is from all week. Just maybe.
Be amused.
Thank me.
Preferably with some form of currency.
Real currency. Not shouty Bish currency. That stuff is not worth as much as actual moneys.
-
I watched it. Then I had to go back and watch the original trailer. They’re both surprisingly good.
But here’s the question for you, do you have faith in David Fincher? I mean, he’s doing a Hollywood remake of a quite recent film, really, and they do usually end badly. Although I heard that “Let me in” wasn’t terrible, not that I’ve seen “Let the right one in”… But still, this is David Fincher we’re talking about.
-
Absolute faith.
More importantly, it isn’t necessarily a remake but an adaptation of a book that also happened to be adapted by someone else recently.
-
Fair enough. I have faith. The little I’ve seen thus far does look promising.
And depressing.
-
I haven’t read the books so I only have faith in Fincher’s ability to make it a good movie.
Unfortunately, I’m one of those sticklers that think that when something is being translated (particularly a novel) the translator needs to be almost as talented as the original author in order for things to work. So I can’t bring myself to read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
-
Well, in my opinion, the writing itself was nothing fantastic, and I believe that that’s the same as how Larsson wrote, the important part is the story. It’s just a crappy airport crime thriller type read, except that it’s so much more depressing, and I felt like it had been shaped far more by Larsson’s heritage and what he’d experienced, which gave it a different viewpoint. There might have been good writing in the original versions, but I wouldn’t know…

Jason Segel, Neil Patrick Harris, Ricky Gervais, Jack Black, and oh so many more!
I am definitely seeing this movie.

(I should clarify, I had what many view as an irrational, but to me seems perfectly reasonable, hatred of Axis of Awesome. This stems from a multitude of things, firstly their name, secondly, that they had a song which wasn’t even 4 chords in their 4 chords medley, and thirdly due to the fact that when they appeared on Good News Week to perform a song they did an absolutely appalling job, that made me embarrassed on their behalf. On top of this, since I feel like there are better equivalents to their 4 chords medley (Mal Webb’s, for instance) I do not understand why people shower it with such love.)
-
Was that the “What Would Jesus Do?” song? Because I actually liked that one..I’m not a huge fan of them overall. I just like that song, and one song out of the 40 something that are in there isn’t too bad! I wasn’t a big fan of the Mal Webb one…I guess it wasn’t as funny. Plus, Benny from Axis of Awesome has done some other stuff, like a piano-off with Tim Minchin which was pretty cool..
-
Whilst I don’t harbour such fiery hatred of Axis of Awesome, I do believe this song is a little overrated. But, the reason this one is so popular is because it was featured on the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala.
-
So was that skit about Kirsten Schaal being a horse.
Luckily that didn’t catch on or I would have to do some serious face stabbing.

I had this discussion on why Bundy has such a great Ginger Beer with my cousins once.
We established that it is because it is brewed.
And then we went back to awkwardly eating our meals in silence, having nothing else to talk about.-
Did the dinner result in more Ginger Beer being consumed? If so, this is a winning result.

Yes, also we branched out to Peachees. Also very tasty. Best Christmas dinner ever, if only for the drinks consumed.

My supervisor just got rick rolled. And it blared out on his speakers. And it won’t close.
Gold.
-
HAHAHAHAHAHA! 😛 I love it when that happens. Happens to the sales guy all the time.
-
More funny because everytime he pressed closed a dialog box would appear with a line of the lyrics, so it would only end until the song ended.
And funnier still, it was sent from his wife.
-
I like people getting nyan’d more. 😀
-
That’s hilarious! 😛

That would be 20b.org if you want to have a look at it yourself.

Moar Dragon Age 2 DLC…
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-debut-dragon-age/720938
I have to give them credit for persisting. The game might’ve largely been a disappointment but they’re at least trying some new things with the downloadable stuff.
-
Did everyone else get a bit of a “Kasumi – Stolen Memory” vibe from that? Because that’s what it reminded me of…
-
Yeah, it’s definitely a heist operation…
Someone cheekily asked Mike Laidlaw if we’d be fighting a gunship at the end.
It’s a little odd that they’re practically copying what the Mass Effect team did with Kasumi, but if they can pull it off I’d be happy to buy it.
-
-
DA2 actually wasn’t a failure in my eyes… I really enjoyed it. The only thing I wished was included was an “explore the world” kinda thing, like in the first one.
-
I enjoyed bits and pieces, don’t get me wrong -but I was a bit let down by the repetition and some of the weird storytelling. Plus just a general sense of… a lack of content.
I wouldn’t call it a disaster, but I don’t think even Bioware expected the negative reaction they ended up with.
-
Haha. If anything, I think the negative reaction would have worked in my favour because I approach the game with such low expectations that is blows me away.
I really, really enjoyed it. Not as much as the first though.
-
-
Only thing I thought DA2 really needed was more variety in locations. Other then that I loved the game.
Also if this DLC is anything like Kasumi I’m happy cause Kasumi was loads of fun.
-
Ooooh forgot to mention this, and I probably should comment in the “What are you playing this weekend?” article instead, but whatever – I’ve started playing Mass Effect 2! Still in the early stages of the game, so NO SPOILERS PLEASE. That Jacob guy really reminds me of a NPC in Oblivion, and I’ve been trying hard to recall his name and all, no success though. If anyone knows who I’m talking about then please tell me, it’s been bugging me lol.
-
Yay! Did you import a ME save?
Also usual stuff about remember to play the DLC 😀
-
I haven’t played Arrival yet, I own it, it might potentially be downloaded, but I haven’t gotten around to playing it…
-
It’s not bad. It’s decent story wise, but playing without your squad is very weird.
I feel naked without Garrus.
-
Yeah, I didn’t mind it. It had a little bit too much random combat, but the story bits at the end were nice (especially that conversation).
-
The story bits are fantastic. It’s the only thing that kept me going in ME1, and in both Deus Ex and ME2, they’re great. Need moar conversations!
-
Ditto. Combat can be a fun distraction but story is where it’s at 😀
-
-
-
I scrolled down the page quickly and saw “naked Garrus” and then stopped scrolling.
:I
-
DID SOMEBODY SAY NAKED GARRUS?
-
“I’m Commander Harli, and this is my favourite naked Garrus in the galaxy.”
-
I wanted to, but I only played less than the first chapter of ME1. Will probably do so if I end up liking ME2 : )
-
I’ve found importing an ME save turns up heaps of little references and characters in ME2.
Plus it’s a pretty nice feeling to play the same Shepard over both games 😛
Don’t be racist dawdle, are you trying to say they all look the same hmmmm?
-
ALSO GARRUS!! *dreamy sigh*
-
They’re both humans! If you count that as being racist… 😛
-
If you’re me… it might 😛
-
Did someone say racist?
-
I <3 this chain of responses!
-
-
Okay guys, I’m off for the weekend! Congrats to Kudos winnar, I’m sure it’ll be for some awesome reason. I’m gonna go get more ginger beer and hopefully play more Deus Ex/Reach Campaign.

I have yet to beat the Reach campaign on Heroic or Legendary. One day, one day.
-
Reach is easy on Legendary, you just need to remember the lessons that the first Halo taught you in the twenty-eight times you finished it on the pc.
Oh wait, that was me.
Plasma Pistol(Which is still less cool than the Fusion Pistol from Marathon), Actual Pistol. GG, no re.
-
I just know how to speed run Long Night of Solace on Legendary because of the bug where you can sorta stealth through, and then later leap-frog the level using the forklift. 😛
-
-
Co op is where the fun is at. Play it with bawble!
-
Yes I did! Just on normal though.
-
-
I have yet to care about the Reach campaign, played the first hour or so, then just turned it off. The campaign is even worse than Halo 3’s! And that wasn’t that great..the multiplayer is Reach’s only saving grace, saying that, I prefer Halo 3’s multiplayer, don’t like the jetpacks, etc addition.
-
I have only ever played ODST, turned it off after bout an hour.
Considering the Anniversary Edition to see why everyone gets so pumped for Halo.-
The first Halo was by far the best, highly suggest you get the Anniversary edition.
Also, I loved ODST, purely for the fact that you weren’t virtually invincible, it was nice to mix things up a bit. Also, Nathan Fillion.

Re Bish:
Free ice-cream on me if you do come in our shop! 😀
-
oooh! Ice cream covered dawdle!
Does bawble approve??-
:I
That makes what I wrote sound so wrong…
-
OMG, what kind of place do you work in!!!!
O.o
-
HAHA that does make it sound so bad, but I knew what you meant, and I so wish I could come up to Sydney to have some :'(
-
You’re from Melbourne, right? (tone of uncertainty) There’s a franchise in Chinatown there. 😛
-
Correct, I’m from Melbourne. I was in the Melbourne meat pictures. Remember? The sexy robot using dual uzis in the arcade and winning that game all the way to the end? 😛

ZING!
Oh man, are you sure?
Because I can eat. Doesn’t even matter if it’s not proper food, I can just om nom nom nom nom nom nom nom away.
I will feel marginally bad if you go into debt with the amount of ice cream I will eat and you have to declare bankruptcy. Or maybe I’ll feel sleepy after all that eating, I don’t know.
-
Do you go to the uni area nowadays?
It’s okay, I can work off the debt 😛-
No, well, kind of sometimes? Not to uni per se, but I drive down Anzac Parade every once in a while.
Your wallet is safe for now.

So quick TAY poll. Who here drinks alcohol? And what is your choice of poison? (Beer, Wine, Spirits)

I don’t drink! /waiting for NotR’s hi5

Good news everyone!
Hey, it’s me, Bender!
Bart’s teachers name is Krabappel? I’ve been calling her crab-apple! Why didn’t anyone tell me?
/hopes you are now confused in what voice to read in
Need a voice? Why not Zoidberg?
-
-
-
Me! And I’m probably something like Beer > Cider > Champers(MANLY) > Spirits of varying degrees
-
Champers is in no way manly good sir 😛 But I’ll let you have your moment. Mines close to that, although Cider/Spirits>Wine for me 😛 I only drink champagne at weddings so I don’t really count that 😛
Rarely.
James Squires or Coopers for beers.
Hendricks Gin with tonic and cucumber (bring on summer)
Decent vodka (grey goose, ciroc)
Will have wine with food, but won’t drink on it’s own.
-
James Squire’s are awesome, especially off the tap!
What wine will you have with food? I’ll only drink a red with food, because it brings out the flavours a lot more. I’ll generally drink white if it’s by itself, and sometimes red.
-
I’ll go a sav blanc (giesen or blonde something something) with fish or chicken.
Usually a Penfolds shiraz or cab sav with red meat.
***puts on snob hat***
My real wine drinking friends say that when you buy red in a restaurant you should spend double the cost of the meat on the bottle of wine.-
That’s what you’re supposed to do. But anything over $17 a bottle is generally pretty good. I mean the more you pay, the better it is, but unless you’ve developed a taste for wine, you probably wouldn’t notice the difference..
-
-
Basing what type of wine you’re having with food on what meat you’re having is not as good as basing it on the flavours of the dish as a whole. Big sauces need big flavours in wine regardless of which meat they’re on. And anything spicy usually needs a crisp white.
-
This is true…and Beer is usually not good with spicy food I’ve found 😛
-
You must be drinking the wrong the beer then! Beer is the best thing to have with spicy foods.
-
-
A lot, and anything and everything. Especially on Mad Monday, lately however I’ve been going crazy on stout beer.
-
High five! It seems like you, me and Blaghs are the only frequent drinkers here!
-
I am a frequent drinker. I blame the kids. 😛
-
High five! What’s your choice of poison?
-
See below!
-
I don’t see it D:

Or do you mean you’ll put anything in your mouth?

Maybe it’s because it has links in it. I can see it but maybe you can’t yet?
-
Yeah I opened a different browser it wasn’t there yet. I’ll repost without linkage…
Vodka!
Also red wine, certain specialty beers, sweet white wines in summer and awesome liqueurs we get from Castle Glen. -
Nice! I like it 🙂
-
-
I’LL PUT ANYTHING IN MY MOUTH!
-
And that’s why I don’t drink that much anymore.
-
Ummm… that’s what she said?

Um I drink socially and when I do I just drink xxxx beer or rum and coke.
-
XXXX Beer D: That stuff is horrible! Rum and coke is not too shabby though 😛
-
Any true qlder loves it. I drink it usually cause that’s what’s available. I drink rum and coke if I want my mouth to feel like shit i’n the morning. Ur teeth hate you and everything tastes like rum i’n the morning.
-
They do say that only QLDers like 4X.
(haha QLDers)-
haha QlDers

If Rocketman had given any response other than this i would have doubted his Queenslanderness.
I’m Scottish.
I don’t believe I need to say much more than that.
Used to be Grey Goose but after a drunken egging on that I have no memory of (that left my ribs badly bruised) I gave up on it. Now I drink cider. In order of preference: Bulmers, Monteiths, a big gap filled with anything, 5 Seeds, Strongbow.
Hi everybody, I’m Q-Bo’s daughter and just want to say that I’m awesome!

There is no scientific evidence to disprove this, so I guess we have to take it as truth.
Also hi!

By the gods, you’re right! Welcome, daughter of q-bo! \o
-
Yeah, it was her! Almost as cute as me… Steve Holt is putting hand up in class, very appropriate!

Wait, really?
Also, \o is someone waving hi!.
Steve Holt always does his STEVE HOLT \o/ for anything and everything/

Welcome, Q-Bo’s daughter.

Has anyone seen that new Fright Night movie? I picked possibly the best easter egg ever in it
Anyone know when the winners of the RAGE and Warhammer 40K Chainsword competitions will be announced?
