GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
I am tired today, but i have to make sure i wake myself up before 1.30pm today, as i have a meeting with the Deputy Academic Coordinator AND the Campus Director of my uni today in regards to last weeks happenings…
Ohh mannn the pressure is on!

Good luck Loops.

Thanks chief! 😀

Good luck, dude.
-
Hey man good luck, get that D or HD you deserve 😀
Nothing hurts more than a shitly marked assignment/test especially when it ruins your D average 🙁
-
every time I read D average, makes me think of the old Ds and sounds terrible…just sayin’
-
My tummy hurts.
Somebody fix plz.
-
Sounds like you need a black man!
-
uh… wat?
-
It’s what Loops Missus keeps telling him cures her tummy aches. “No honey, it’s medicinal okay”
-
Or what he’s telling his Missus. 😛
(Love ya buddy) -
oh man… that sounds so… bad…. :s
-
Ahh… *taps nose*
-
-
It’s something the Greeks i used to work with used to say to me any time i felt unwell or tired.
I’d complain and they say “Sounds like you need a black man – they can fix ANYTHING!”
*shrugs*
Just passing down the knowledgeI think it was a butt-sex joke.
Greeks…-
lol @ “Greeks…”
Made me think of all my Greek buds from high school. Greeks are funny

Howdy ho! How was everyone’s weekend?
WAIT! SPOILERS!
I haven’t finished mine yet. QLD public holiday. Ooooohhhh yyyyyeeeeaaaahhhh.
(Although it is my youngests 1st Birthday so I have a kids party to deal with)
-
My account is in Queensland, soooo…….. *stretches back in chair and puts feet on table*
-
Happy Birthday to him!
Take lots of videos.
-
*cough and quiet whisper* it’s a her.
-
That’s what I said, gosh!

-
I bet you’d like that, wouldn’t you…
-
Errr…not cool, Pez.

Happy Birthday to mini-Freezella
It’s a public holiday here in Queensland today. Hooray! Now, the question is, Skyrim or Prototype 2?
-
I’ll chuck a vote to Prototype 2.
-
Day off five o/
-
\o
-

Dead Space 2? 😛
Or did you beat that aleady?
Last week was insane work-wise, thus my absence on TAY. Sorry about that, I’m gonna cringe when I see last week’s TABTOL. Hopefully this week is a little more sane.
Anyway, I had a great weekend. Spent saturday tooling around with my now TV-connected pc designed for arcade emulation, I got Killer Instinct arcade version working on it which was quite tricky but worth it (I get such a kick at the ‘coming to your home in 1995 to the ULTRA64!’ promo), and I also installed windows on my mac which was a surprisingly painless process.
Then saturday night I went to my girlfriend’s workmate’s birthday which was cool but reminded me of the giant lizards scene from Fear and Loathing. Good fun though, and surprisingly many free drinks so YAY!
I will tell you about my even more awesome sunday… after my coffee! 😀
-
Reminded you from the scene from fear and loathing because they were all ugly, of because you ‘forgot to take your heart medication’?
Those trips can get nasty, yo.
-
Well the bar looked like a huge jungle with a giant elephant head on the wall, and it was a 40th birthday for a woman who was a DJ so there were a lot of 30/40-something eccentrics there. It was good fun but I was definitely getting a ‘Golf Shoes’ vibe from it all.
-

PART 2!
Sunday was awesome, spent the morning tooling around with the Trials Evo track maker, making some good progress there, then I went to 1806 for a ‘Deconstructing Cocktails’ course that was a birthday present from my brother.The course was epic, I got to learn not only how to mix a good cocktail but how to make a great cocktail of my own design from scratch, plus I got to drink the cocktails I made so I was a bit tipsy by the end of it.
AND THEN that arvo I went to Shadowloo Showdown in time to see the SFxT, MvC3 and SFAE finals. It was awesome to watch although it ran quite late due to SFxT taking FOREVER so I had to bail on the AE finals 🙁
BUT I did get to meet Harli and we both cheered on Gamerbee to kick Justin Wong’s ass in the SFxT final (mostly because the set would reset if Wong won and then we would have to wait another half hour before the MvC finals started haha)So yes and insane work week followed by an epic weekend. I hope this week is kinder to me and that this weekend was just as awesome for all of you guys 😀
p.s. HI HARLI! 😀
-
every single fibre in my body is jelly right now
-
That’s an epic Sunday. Epic.
And yay for meeting Harli! 😀

Tracey has an article on Verge too. Saw you guys on Ten News!
-
Could you please post the link? I didn’t see the channel ten fottage, but I did have a camera in my face for ages. I felt really uncomfortable
-

The news segment was fairly short, nothing really specific…
-
Where’s the photos of Taokaka?

I had no good ones with my hood on. I’m waiting for someone to email it to me
Sorry Blaghs, you won’t be getting any sustenance off me today 😛
-
Sunnofadiddly!
Looks cold!
/o\
I’ve been mapping portal 2 all weekend. I spent 9 hours on it on Saturday… But so far so good 🙂
Apparently Jason Statham has a movie coming out soon called Safe.
Some of you guys may not have known this.
So now SAFE you’re all SAFE up to SAFE date, you can JASON STATHAM go about your SAFE business.
MAY 10
-
I think it’s SAFE to say this movie will be shit.
Oh, I may have forgot to say JASON STATHAM SAFE MAY 10…
-
Is it Safe?
-
It’s Jason Statham Safe. May 10.
-
-
I like having Jason Statham looming over TAY, he’s so preeeetttyyyy. 😀
-
he has a funny shaped head…
-
Even if he did it wouldn’t matter. He’s all manly and stuff.
-
you have a thing for shaved heads, don’t you…
-
Hahaha, not really. I never really found my husband very attractive until I got to know him. I actually prefer guys with long hair. 😛
-
Poor Mr. Strange 🙁
-
Yes, poor Mr. Strange. He has a wife who loves him for who he is, not what he looks like, so she’ll still be attracted to him even when he’s all old and stuff. 😛
-
I’ll bring a wig for him when I’m next in QLD.
You’re welcome 😀
-
-
-
I have a new heater. It is not as effective as my old heater. It also has a temperature thingy on it telling me the current room temperature is 10 degrees. I do not want to go outside.
My weekend was full of assignments and Minecraft. If anybody missed it, we have a new Minecraft server, by the way. One that hasn’t been blown up in two whole days!
-
Oh man. The cold at the moment is brutal. It’s a freezing 19 degrees here at the moment. I might have to put a shirt on.
-
But then no one can see your magnificent* chest!
*I don’t know if your chest is actually magnificent, I haven’t met you.
-
-
Someone needs to put up one of those signs “It has X days since the last workplace fatality.” Except mine craft related
I procrastinate way too much
-
Me too. It’s gotten so bad that I’ll even procrastinate about doing fun things. What is wrong with me?!
-
OH MY GOD YES
yesterday i was gonna play some Super MNC, bt instead i watched minecraft server mods videos for like, 2 hours…
-
OH HI EVERYONE!
my weekend was pretty rad
-had my birthday party on saturday, may or may not have thrown up
-watched a lot of shadowloo showdown, i missed the UMVC3 finals, but got to see (hear?) Harli commentating over Tekken Tag 2
-i ate cake
and now today, thanks to getting a lot of JB HI FI vouchers, i can justify myself getting a PS VITA!!! so some time today i’m going to go and get one, i saw a pack that came with uncharted, so i’ll get that, and i might grab UMVC3 on it as well, because i can’t have enough versions of that game :3
so yeah, how are yall?
So my weekend went thusly:
On Saturday I went to the city. Had to catch a train, then a bus that smelled of sweat and pee. Or just sweat but one of the sweaters has a condition that causes him to sweat pee… That might be a thing…
Once I arrived, I went to Kinokuniya for FREE COMICS then met up with Flu and other people and we ALL GOT MOAR FREE COMICS and we also bought some. Go us! The pizza.
On Sunday I wanted to play Zelda: SS but couldn’t be bothered waggling. I played Saints Row: The Third the whole day instead.
Also Jason Statham in Safe. May 10. Did anyone else know about that? It’s easy to miss.
-
Safe? Never heard of it… What are you talking about… Who is Jason Statham, never heard of him either.
-
did you know that SHE HAS THE CODE
and that jason statham is…. THE KEEEEEY?-
He can be my key if he wants….
-
i know i am a man, and do not understand the ways of the womens, but may i ask
is jason statham considered attractive?
like, some people i can see how women find them attractive, but not sure i see it in jason statham…THIS IS AN AWKWARD QUESTION
-
If you see him in a picture, not so much. But watching him in action he’s definitely sexy. It’s a combination of his voice, facial expressions and manliness. He’s a very attractive man.
-
Hurry up, before ze Germans get here.
-

FREE COMICS WIN
Morning everyone….. I would say “Good” Morning, but it’s another Monday at work so not particularly good.
-
I feel like crawling back into bed myself.
I totally can too.
So i started playing Pro Evo 2011 properly on the weekend – started a Champions League game with Bayern.
I gotta say, it really isn’t all that bad – it’s actually pretty damn good.
For the most part my kicking and through passes feel quite accurate – it’s only the headers that constantly get sent into outer space.
It’s a MASSIVE improvement over the first one to come out on 360.
Also picked up Fifa 09 for $1 on PS3 from EB 😀 – hopefully that’ll be good too.
Morning guys!
Because this was posted Friday night and weekday posters would’ve missed it:
Minecraft server. We have one. Again.
You’ll need to be whitelisted in order to access it, so if you would like to join let me know so I can add you and send you the server IP.
The server does only have a 15 player capacity and at the moment we have 16 users whitelisted so, while unlikely, there may be a chance you’ll have to wait to get on.
We had some lag issues over the weekend but they seemed to be resolved last night.
-
Gonna build me more of the wangTAYbar tonight.
-
Server is back in survival mode now so you must farm for your gold!
-
Bah, you took away my creative mode?
I shall make do then.
You asshole.
-
Half the fun of Minecraft is making large holes in the ground and leveling mountains to get the materials.
-
Can you make a cache of TNT tho? So we can level mountains the fun way 🙂
-
Yeah, this is actually the second Minecraft world we’ve started on the server.
We may have got a bit happy with the explosives on the first one and well, a giant crater for a world isn’t much fun. It lasted all of 6hrs before we decided we should start new and do things properly.
-
Haha fair enough.
-
-
-
SAYS THE NOOB TO THE PERSON WHO HAS LARGE CHUNKS OF LIFE MISSING DUE TO MC.
-
Well at least you took his godly powers away 😛
I’d be super jelly if he had these amazing powers and I didn’t…
-
Stupid Pez and his stupid pit of death.
My diamonds 🙁
-
Your diamonds that you surely got in a totally legit fashion?
boo hoo… just summon yourself some new ones captain “HALF THE FUN IS DOING THIS YOURSELF”
-
Hehehe
-
Actually, those ones were legit. I farmed all 4 of them myself.
-
I like how people were complaining about losing blocks of wood in that hole. There’s wood everywhere but dat lag…
How has it been going lately? Still laggy?
-
Did you even read my original post? 😛
-
Safe to say I did not read the last bit lol
I’m trying to learn about maturity of loans and stuff… zzzz…
Also, I cannot be held responsible for putting people in the glass cage of emotion.
-
That one was pretty funny though. At least you can get out and survive it. xD
I twittered you! Can I haz access?
The I will jump on, build a hut, walk for 10 days and 10 nights and never play again like last time.
-
Already done sir.
I’ll send you the IP when I get a chance.
-
All good, grabbed it off the post on last weeks TAY.
-
I’m tired and grumpy. Something’s wrong with our fire alarm and it kept beeping this morning while I was trying to have a much needed sleep-in. After three times I couldn’t go back to sleep so I got up. Only to find that Mr. Strange hadn’t bothered to check the alarm because he was playing Trials. 😛
-
I cannot play that game anymore.
It makes me go to my bad place.
-
So he has his priorities right then….
So found out my manager has resigned this morning – 4 weeks notice. Normally this wouldn’t bother me a huge deal, if it weren’t for the fact this guy is solely responsible for fielding the endless shit, garbage and general retardation that comes from our Sydney office. He’s like our ONLY buffer and safety barrier.
Means when he leaves, my life is going to get a whole lot harder at work, and it’s fucking hard enough as is.
Not good.
-
That’s a terrible story.
For starters, you don’t even find ten dollars at the end.
0/10, would not read again. Plus you make me sad.
-
I did have one of those mighty muffins from Maccas this morning on the way to work.
Not too bad actually.I’ll substitute food for ten dollars accordingly.
-
-
_/O\_ STEVE DOLT!
Sux bro… 🙁
-
dude, sucks. I
ve been missing my managerial buffer since february, and am currently working for the person who was responsible for like 90% of the bullshit.Fun Times.
-
Yeah, it’s great fun. I think my manager just sick of having to field so much shit.
-
Any chance of a promotion into the shit filter role?
-
-
There’s a dude sleeping and snoring loudly in this lecture 😛
It’s quite funny.
Last week the lecturer pointed out some guy who was sleeping and everyone laughed at him. He was in such a deep sleep he didn’t even wake up, heh…
-
Once I fell asleep on a peak hour train, woke up with drool down my shirt. Good times. 😛
Morning TAy. Weekend was good, played some games n stuff. ! YEAH. fiddled around some more with old consoles, and watched some of shadowloo showdown lasntight.
Wont be posting much today sas i have the day off work and my wife is taking me…..somewhere…. for my birthday. If you don’t hear from me tomorrow, please call the police 😛
-
Happy Birthday!
It’s your 30th isn’t it? OLDDDDDDDDDDDDDD (I kid, I kid)
-
Get rid of the bracketed notes, there is no kidding when dealing with OOOOOLLLLLDDDDDD people!
-
Watch it, kid. 😛
And yes, happy Birthday Blood Apathy, I hope your wife’s surprise is awesome.
Last time I took my husband somewhere to surprise him for his birthday it was for a V8 drive. He was so happy he looked like a little kid the whole day. All bouncy and hyperactive. 😀
-
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
-
HAPPY CAKECAKEDAYCAKE
-
Happy birthday, man!
-
Happy Birthday man!
May your cakes be sweet and delicious.
\o/
-
Bappy Hirthday!

-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Morning TAY,
I hope your week has started off well. My day has started off OK but I spilled some milk on my sheets so now I have to do a bunch off unplanned laundry. Oh well.
P.S.
Harli, Strange suggested I post my Thinking out loud posts on TALES OF TAY (thanks strange). So if you are free today hopefully you can do this. The links are below.

HELLO COMPADRES. ALL GLORY TO BACON
-
May Bacon be with you.
-
HELLO COMRADE,
AGREED. ALL HAIL BACON, FULL OF GREASE. -
All glory to the Bacon God.
It’s Monday.
I don’t have to go to work until Wednesday.
Awwww yeah.
-
Would you say you are breakdancing out of joy in your living room? Because that’s an image I never want to lose.
This afternoon I will be on an MC rampage.
Goal for today: hit bedrock then start honeycombing my way out for sweet precious diamonds.
-
I will build a mob farmer, make TNT and then sell it to the highest bidder.
Mwhahaha. -
Should I be making a backup of the server just in case?
-
hahahahahahahaha…
…maybe.
-
-
Good idea. I guess I’ll be playing that and Trials when I get home 😀
wooo!
Not a bad weekend, on the whole.
Was on call – had a few calls come through, but nothing terribly bad. Got one at 5:45 this morning and have been up since then, so that sucked, but whatever – not on call anymore. Got school tonight, wish I was a little less tired, but I’ll survive!
Gaems wus plaeyd.
Got the urge to git up FF14 again for some reason, finally levelled my Thaumaturge from 45-50 and started the Black Mage side quests, which was entertaining. Played a bit of EVE as well – actually mostly idled, but did some planning and some purchasing. In between played MK and Disgaea 3 on Vita, did most of my Japanese homework, and not nearly enough study.
Crummy weekend weatherwise – also being housebound by the pager, spent it indoors with my heater going. Nice and cosy!
I just realised…. only 8 more sleeps till Diablo 3!!!!!
-
Seven sleeps actually. I’ll be too excited on the 14th.
Howdy Tayberinos!
I had a good weekend, spent all yesterday playing Dungeons and Dragons. So a tabletop themed question today- how will old games like board games and pen and paper rpgs be enhanced by new ideas from the computer game world?
-
I’d love to see holographic moving game pieces for board games…. Or a board game on a massive touch screen like the Microsoft Surface thing
-
A large touch-screen device makes for a marvellous board for some new and interesting ideas and for ease of use for old ideas. I sort of like the fiddliness of a classic board game like Risk, but sometimes you want to cut through all that and just challenge your opponent. Scrabble on iPad can be played together with iPhones, with the iPhones serving as each player’s tile rack. I would like to see more of that sort of thing. iOS devices really are ubiquitous now so I think there’ll be enough of a market for games enhanced in that way.
-
well, wizards of the coast are already experimenting with that
they have an in beta virtual table program, which lets you control a table, have voice chat, and basically run an entire session through everyone at their computer. however, i think it defeats the purpose, as DnD is meant to be a social game, but i guess if i can’t make it to someones house regularly, then it may have to do,
-
Drinking is also meant to be a social activity.
Yet on Saturday night I was at home, by myself, having drinks and an all round good time with people on TeamSpeak. Is that not considered being social?
-
On the weekend I planned to play through Mass Effect 3. Then we started a Minecraft server.
Also, did everyone hear the glorious renditions of Rubber Ducky and Rainbow Connection by Flu?
-
Yeah, complete with batgirl fucking up rubber ducky when Flu was in the midst of it.
-
That’s ok. It wasn’t a very good rendition.
-
Your rainbow connection one blew my goddamn mind.
-
It was truly amazing.
-
-
-
Quick Diablo 3 question.
If I buy the retail version, I can enter the CD key and play without the disc in the drive, right?
And a longer (but related) question.
My BattleNet account is for some reason set to US. Should I be changing that to Australia? I don’t want Blizzard to turn around and go “You lied to us, we’re taking your account now”. I would buy the game digitally but it’s actually a little cheaper in retail in Australia. The US price is $60, and that’s the price that shows for me but it needs you to put a US address in and I’m concerned about the “lying” angle.
-
I don’t think the Bnet account matters much. But it might force you to change if you ever want to link PayPal to it for the real money auction house.
As for the retail version, I’m pretty sure you can pre-download the game client and then just link the CD key to your Bnet account to log in.
-
Thanks. I have a laptop with no DVD drive, so it would be a pain having to keep the external in all the time.
-
-
As in, it says country of residence US?
-
It does. Not sure why. It happened when I made an account to play the SC2 demo.
-
Just contact Blizzard support and ask them to change it if you’re overly concerned.
-
-
I think we should all go watch the movie SAFE
-
His eyes looked mismatched in that picture.
Funny.
-
It’s only fair! We must save the little girl!
Lunar: Silver Star Harmony.
In the vernacular, this is good shit, yo. GOOD SHIT.
THE WORKPLACE – S01E02
Idea co-created by Jordi, Blaghman, Notoriousaur and Bish
Co-Written by Blaghman and Bish
[Scene: A tall man with curly hair hovers over a generously-iced orange and poppyseed cake. He holds the knife precariously over the top of the cake-]
Pez’s voice, off camera: GOD DAMMIT
[-and is startled by the noise, fumbling with the knife and dropping it handle first into the cake, deforming the edge of the cake. A look of dismay falls upon his face, as both he and the camera turns towards Pez, face buried in the fridge]
*Pez emerges from the fridge*
Pez: Somebody stole my cake again.
Man: And again, they’re my cakes.
*Pez’s eyes narrow*
Pez: You better hope Mitt Romney wins the 2012 American elections, just so when I punch you to the moon, there’ll be a moon base for you to settle in.
*Pez storms off*
Man: I think you’ll find that’s Newt Gingrich’s policy!
Pez, off camera: SHUT IT, FRO-FACE
[Scene: The camera pans across a large baker’s kitchen, industrial ovens, furnaces, racks and the tall man with curly hair comes into view. The camera readjusts itself to focus on the man, behind a waist-high marble kitchen bench]
Man: I’m Cakesmith. I’m… a cakesmith.
*There is an awkward pause*
Cakesmith: I head the food department here, but ever since we became Kotaku Australia Party Services, all we really do here is make cake.
*A man in a red shirt appears in the background, from behind a corner*
Other man: …Did I hear “food”?
*The man drifts across the background in search of something*
Cakesmith: It’s been pretty flatout recently. I’m getting so many orders with such high turnover that it feels like some of the cakes just disappear.
[Scene: A cake sits alone on the kitchen bench. Jordi slowly slides upwards from the bottom of the screen]
Jordi: Cake? Why hello there.
*Jordi takes a slice of cake and the slowly slides back down to disappear from the camera shot*
[Scene: Seven-Eigths of a cake sits alone on the kitchen bench. Rocketman wanders past waving a cucumber around]
Rocketman: Cakeman, do you need a half frozen cucumber for anything?
*Rocketman spots the cake*
Rocketman: What’s that? I will trade you for it for some cake?
*There is no reply*
Rocketman: Cool, cool.
[Scene: Three-Quarters of a cake and a cucumber sit on a kitchen bench. Effluvium boy walks past.]
Flu: Cakesmith? You here?
*he receives no answer, but his attention is drawn to the kitchen bench*
Effluvium Boy: Hello, dessert.
*Effluvium Boy picks up the cucumber and walks off*
[Scene: Three-Quarters of a cake sits on a kitchen bench. The man wearing the red shirt wanders by. The man stares at the cake silently for a moment.]
Red-shirted Man: …Yeah, I’m just going to have all of this.
*The man picks up the rest of the cake and walks off*
[Scene: Return to Cakesmith sitting at the kitchen bench]
Cakesmith: So many cakes. It’s odd.
*Jordi appears in the background, from behind a corner*
Jordi: …Did I hear “cake?”
[New Scene: Blaghman stands behind the curtain of a stage, wearing a suit, bowtie and boater]
Blaghman: What do I do at Kotaku Australia Party Services? I mostly just derp. But I also sing! I currently lead the Barbershop Quartet we take around the place to sing at parties. Say “Hi”, guys!
*Effluvium boy appears in the bottom left corner of the camera*
Effluvium Boy: Hellooooo…
Blaghman: Hellooooo…
*A man with a shaved ginger head appears in the bottom right camera corner*
Ginger man: Hello!
*All three men simultaneously stop drawing out the last syllable upon the third man completing his greeting, and break out the jazz hands*
Blaghman: Nice hustle, guys.
*The two extra men tip their boaters at the camera and disappear from their respective camera corners*
Blaghman: So we go around, singing at parties, functions, whoever will hire us. Well, not even that, we also show up to places we’re not even invited to. But we’re here entertaining the crowds at a birthday party right now. Between all of us, we have quite the repertoire.
[Shot of the Ginger man performing on stage]
Ginger Man: When I think about you, I touch myself! Ooo-oh-oh! I don’t want anybody else! Oh no, oh no, oh no!
[The camera cuts to a shot of the audience, a group of mostly young families sitting around dining tables. A banner “Happy 70th, Nan!” hangs over them. The group looks mortified, bar one elderly woman who thoroughly seems to be enjoying herself.]
[New scene: A slim, bearded man stands over a makeshift bonfire made of burning chairs and books, slowly rotating a pig on a spit]
Man: I’M SHIGGYNINTY AND I COOK ALL THE MEAT HERE! ALL OF IT! IT STARTED OUT AS CURIOSITY AS TO WHAT ‘BBQ’ FLAVOUR ACTUALLY WAS; IT WASN’T BARBECUE BEEF OR CHICKEN OR LAMB OR ANYTHING, SO THEN I WENT AND HUNTED DOWN AND COOKED A BUNCH OF OTHER ANIMALS! I’M BASICALLY THE REASON WHY 12 ANIMAL SPECIES ARE EXTINCT! IT WASN’T ANY OF THOSE THOUGH, SO NOW I’M TRYING TO COMBINE ALL THE LARD FROM ALL THE ANIMALS TO SYNTHESISE THE BARBECUE FLAVOURING!

Cakesmith: What’s this last item on the order list?

Cakesmith: Hey Jugsy or Batgirl or Rabies or Barbara Gordon or whatever you call yourself these days! What’s these things you’re making?
Female voice from off camera: Funbags!
Cakesmith: What.
Female voice: They’re funbags to be shared and handed around to all the people at the party! Did you want to try sample one of my funbags?

Cakesmith: I don’t think that’s what they’re cal-

[Credits roll]
-
Thank you Bish.
Thank you for making the people I work with stare at me as I chuckle like a mad man.
-
Hehe remember that time when everyone was talking about funbags and Bish thought funbags were lollybags and he Googled it?
Good times.
Epic script(?) btw 😀
-
Co-Writer credits! I HELPED!
-
COMING SOON, A BLAGHMAN PRODUCTION:
Footloose 3: Flashdance-
Dammit, I was hoping your old man brain had forgotten that. SHUT UP BISH, I’M ONLY HUMAN, I MAKE MISTAKES!
-
-
-
This is awesome. 🙂 MY two favourite things combined into one. The office and TAYbies
-
These are fucking awesome.
Don’t stop.
[what she said]
-
I SO WANT TO DRAW CAKE SMITH SMITHING CAKES!
-
Is that okay with you Cakesmith?
-
-
“Hello, dessert.” HAHAHAHAHA
-
Awesome story/script thingie.
Also poor “WORKPLACE” Cakesmith
-
bahahaha awesome 😀
-
This is still awesome.
I also like how I get co-creator credits when I, in fact, contributed nothing useful to the idea.
-
No “cake is a lie” joke?
-
hehehe. Oh man, Bish, you make me laugh.
What is better then homemade bacon, egg and cheese burgers?
Homemade bacon, egg and cheese covered with possibly the greatest sauce ever conceived by man.
Living the dream today.
-
I love that sauce. It’s the tastiest sauce ever.
-
I have to buy a new bottle every week due to putting it on everything.
Have you tried his Scorpion Sauce? That’s an…..experience.
-
I have not tried it due to being female and not having to use hot sauce to prove my worthiness as a man. 😛
-
It’s actually quite tasty.
-
-
-
I have two assignments that I have to finish today. So, naturally, I will be on TAY all day.
It’s pretty cold today as well. I wish I have some AMAZING HOMEMADE SOUP! (I shouldn’t be so proud of making a bowl of soup, but I am xD)
-
Wow. I missed that. It’s presented very nicely.
I want some.
-
Homemade pumpkin soup success! 😀
Looks good!
-
Aw, now I want soup. Even though I don’t really like pumpkin soup that much. Depends on how it’s made
-
Mmmm. Looks so good. I love homemade stuff, and especially soup.
Morning everyone.
Question: how do you guys pronounce the name Arya?
The first time I came across this name was in Eragon. I pronounced it “Ar-ya”. When I finished the book though I saw there was a pronunciation guide at the back that said it was pronounced “Ar-ee-uh”. When I started reading A Song of Ice and Fire that’s how I pronounced it, “Ar-ee-uh”. Watching Game of Thrones though I’ve heard them use both pronunciations though they seem to use “Ar-ya” more often than “Ar-ee-uh”. So how do you guys and gals say it?
-
I’ve always read it as Ar-ya, as pronounced on the show.
-
I go with Ar-ya. Though that “phonetic” version of it rather misses all of the subtleties of how I (and I assume everyone else) really says it. Though that’s also fairly unrelated.
-
I think in Game of Thrones pretty much everyone except for Catelyn calls her A-ree-uh. I’ve always pronounced it that way too.
-
From what I’ve gathered the Ar-ee-ah is correct but most people use ar-ya. I have heard people use A-ry-a a few times as well.
-
A-ry-a is the one I use mostly
-
-
When I read it I say Ar-ya but when I first heard it I assumed her name was pronounced Ar-ee-uh (written like Aria).
-
Like Aria
I feel so lazy today.
I kind of need to finish things or play games, or something, but I don’t feel like doing anything.
How is everyone else going so far?
-
Public holiday for me. Like you, I am feeling to lazy to do anything today.
-
Tomorrow’s my RDO. It’s a pretty good feeling but there is this slight issue I’ve had all weekend where anything I should do can be dismissed as “I’ve got days left in this weekend. Days!”
-
\o/ I work everyday on a public holiday timetable.
It’s very odd.
The only reason i know it’s Monday is because NEW TAY!-
hahaha, TAY Clock! Coming to a store near you?
-
What are you talking about, it already exists*!
*Only for me
-
Only for you? HA! I live by the TAY clock!
-
o/ Hi five!
TAY clock live-r by-ers -

-
Unlocked the Extreme tracks in Trials yesterday.
Hahahahaha fuck them.
-
That’s not a rage quitty type fuck them that’s a “I’m never going to be able to get past the second checkpoint in most of them” fuck them.
-
Ahahaha “I must be the only one who enjoys faulting” (or something like that). They get worse… Grrr
-
I still enjoy screwing around on the easier ones. It’s still amusing going for a no fault gold medal and just completely buggering some part up.
-
Luckily most of the Hard levels still give you a gold with a few faults 😛
-
Indeed they do. Although I think I managed one without any faults. That was rather odd. I shouldn’t be able to do that :p
-
I fluked one as well on one of my first few attemtps for the gold and to my great surprise a platinum popped up 😐 (my first ever plat for a race)
The level was Dammed if I recall
-
Not a fan of that level. Always screw up when the scenery moves around and not in a fun way :p

Curse you, Monday, Hello TAY

Bahahaha – just read the best joke!!
How many Saiyans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
One – but it takes three episodes.
And Krillin dies in the process…

This joke happened in TAY last week 😛
-
It totally did 😛
I don’t think I’ve read it before but I had the general gist of it when I said it last week.
-
-
I have one.
A woman was in a pet store when she saw a beautiful parrot. It was only $50.
Puzzled the woman asked the pet shop clerk “Why so cheap?”
“The parrot used to be in a brothel so it says some pretty vulgar things.”
The woman thought about it before deciding that the parrot was too beautiful and was worth the risk.
When she got home the parrot said
“New house, new mistress.”
When her two teenage daughters came home the parrot said
“New house, new mistress, new girls.”
When Keith came home the parrot said
“Hello Keith.”
I realised on this weekend that I have an unhealthy addiction to Dark Souls. I have an uncontrollable urge to collect all the “Boss Soul” weapons in the game, even though I wont be using them. =P
-
I’ve made every weapon to +10 or +5 and got all the weapon trophies. Whenever I run out of new games to play I keep trawling through to get the plat. 70% so far. nothing unhealthy about it at all 😀
-
But don’t you get a trophy for that? Surely that makes it worth it.
-
Wait… you get something for getting the weapons? I was doing it just for the hell of it.
-
You were being a trophy whore without even realising it.
-
-
The urge to spend obscene amounts of money on comics is strong…
-
Give in to your feelings!
-
No!
Must… resist…
-
Had a great weekend (not so much games wise)
Went on a fishing charter on Saturday, had to be at the boat ramp for 5am (SO BLOODY COLD) but was well worth it as we bagged out on whiting =)
Then went to the pub later that night for the FA cup which was a great game for the netural. Had football myself on the Sunday and won 2 nill, managed to sneek in some SC2 last night =)
-
Then you made an unpopular decision that was going to be for the best in the long term?
-
I miss fishing. I grew up in Tasmania and Dad used to take us out in a little dinghy to go fishing. It was awesome fun.
I had a dream about a zombies. Special zombies, ones with cognitive thought and reasoning. I think one of them was British. And then everyone started fighting and turned into animals. A gorilla and rhino were leaders of their respective ‘sides’ and they were running to stop it all. Somewhere in between all that Bones from Bones yelled at me and I was like ‘I’M DOING THE BEST I CAN’.
Oh…and hi TAY.
-
TayBAR Minecraft must really screw with peoples heads
-
Did anyonefrom Star Wars tell you they had a bad feeling about it?
Hoy friends!
Did you know that it’s Serrelicious’s birthday soon? As in, this Sunday? Assuming my maths is right, he’s turning 31! Some of you may remember what we did last year, and I was thinking, we should do something this year. Obviously, with it being a Sunday, it will be harder to contact Mark, but ehhh, whatever.
Anyway, after the glorious success* that was singing NobShot “Happy Birthday” over teamspeak, I was thinking, maybe everyone with a mic could sing Happy Birthday, and we could put them all together, to give Mark a beautiful chorus for his birthday.
Or we could do something else, I don’t know, I’m just throwing it out there as an idea.
*unmitigated disaster
-
My present is to not sing in the mangled mess of TeamSpeak singing.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK! -
BAHAHA. All i could Understand was “Happy …” then just a long, loud … noise.
-
How about you video yourself dressed up as Marilyn singing “Happy Birthday Mr. President”? 😛
-
I’ll do it, but only if you do it first. 😛
-
Dressed as MARILYN MANSON!
-
-
What if one by one we go into a channel and Blaghs just stays there recording everyone. Then he can mash it together.
-
This sounds like it could work. Have to figure out a tempo for everyone though.
-
If people actually want to do it, I’m cool with setting it up, and I can probably create a version to give people an idea of the speed and stuff, but only if people actually want to.
-
-
-
So now I have to get a present for Serrels AND my Mum for Mothers Day!? I’m not made of gifts!
I’m definitely going to photoshop something this year though… but what…
-
Can I draw something?
-
I don’t know.
Can you?
Why are you asking us if you have any artistic merit?Honestly, kids these days want us to do EVERYTHING for them.. sheesh…
-
Because I don’t know /o\ Am I worthy enough to draw something for Serrels?!
-
Can you do better than stick figures? If not then you are still worthy of drawing something for Serrels.
You worry too much Scree. -
that she does indeed.
I’d tell you to “draw something”, but i’d probably get sued by OMGpop… -
They no longer own it now, it’s Zynga. Even worse really.
Yes i know I worry too much D=
Would Serrels hiding in a castle made out of irn bru cans be alright? -
My god that would be AMAZING!!!
Your drawing rawks 😀
All that it is missing is a space marine chuloopa! 😛
-
I just hope I can pull it off. ._. But I thought Zombie Serrels may not please him.
Plus your shirt designs are awesome. Can’t beat them \o/
-
-
-
I like your art. I even asked if you could draw something for me but you never responded.
Did you? I’m sorry.
I’m guessing you’re talking to me.
You are talking to me right? If not, I’m sorry /o\
Wow. 2 sorries. 😛
Yes scree. You. I like your art.
Especially when I told her to draw a person carved into a banana and she did it :D. That was epic.
You didn’t tell me it was a joke so I drew it. I got lazy on the actual banana though XD
It was two because I wasn’t sure if I was apologising for the right thing.
What did you want me to draw? How long ago did you ask me?
Chuloopa nipple :/
-
Is that a request of a concern?? 😀
-
Based on the face, I’m going to assume that it’s concern.
-
A concern of sexiness?
-
Needs more sexiness
-
penicl too????
-
-
Barbershop Quartet!
Also, I can beatbox, and maybe do a poor bass imitation too.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK
The Ladies are complimenting my shirt! I’m never taking it off again!
-
Unless they ask you to
-
No, Klutes – that’s the pants. Shirt and socks always remain. It’s more mysterious and sexy.
Also.. WHAT SHIRT?!
-
Even then. The reality is far more disappointing than the cover.
-
I like that shirt, but it would look better….
In my washing machine while I make you sandwiches in the kitchen.
-
-
SUP TAY!?!?!
thats all I’ve got to go with at the moment.
*shuffles away awkwardly*
-
Wooooo!
-
WWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOt

Who was that guy?

Hey … MY WALLET

Reposting from oldTAY.
Here’s the Minecraft server circa 4pm Saturday.

Also, happy monday to everyone.
My Caanoo arrived already. Very excited to get home this afternoon now. -
Also repost from old TAY:
Sweet! A lot of it has changed since then when I had a little look at it last night.
Heh, I put the zombie meat in Powalen’s house 😛
-
So much has changed since then heh.
-
It looks so different with the default texture pack. I’m used to my cartoony one. xD
-
I’ll have to apply my gothic fantasy pack and tack some more shots.
I generally use default during the bulk of the design/build phase. Once I move into adding detail, I’ll switch over to something prettier.
-
@Cakefriend!
I don’t have that “twitter” thing that’s all the rage with the kids these days. Could you add me to the TAY Minecraft server whitelist. My name is “n00bHeadshoT” the two “0”‘s in “n00b” are zero’s. I can’t believe the normal way i spell my name was taken. D’:
-
Could’ve sworn you were on it. I’ll add it now.
-
Maybe I did ask you? I’m not sure, I don’t recall asking you. Oh god, I’m losing my memory, I KNEW IT ALL WENT DOWNHILL FROM AGE 22!
-
It’s cool. You’re on it now anyway either way.
-
-
Seriously Legend of Korra, Even with Game of thrones and Sherlock and Doctor who. It is my pick for the best tv series this year. Its just so good. I can’t believe after 5 episodes i already think it has the potential to be better than anything that came before it 🙂
-
Yup, I’m loving it so far. Definitely my favourite show currently airing!
-
This is why You are awesome Nobshot
-
aww, shucks. Thanks Rocketfriend!
-
-
-
It’s pretty good. I totally want a polar bear dog.
-
I was all like Polar bear dog wont be nearlly as good as Appa or Momo, Turns out the two main animals are pretty awesome.
-
It’s a dog, you can ride.
What’s not to like about it?!
I haven’t seen episode 5 yet, only the first 4
-
-
-
I really want to get into it. What’s the best place to watch it?
-
Channel BT.

@noob
I was playing ME3 last night and someone with your name joined the team. Except it was shotz. I thought it was too groan worthy to be you.
-
All the cool people use Z in their sentences. Just chillax bro.
-
haha, noobshotz soundz like hez got leet skillz!
Do you have ME3 on PC/360/PS3?
-
PS3. I always thought multi would be terrible but I absolutely adore it.
-
Yeah, ME3 multi is actually pretty enjoyable.
-
-
Played the demo fro Dragons Dogma – HOLY CRAP AWESOME-SAUCE!!!!
😀
-
I feel like I’ve read this before. Did you post in on Twitter?
-
Is Dragon Dogma only available on PS3/360? I was checking for a demo on PC but couldn’t find anything. =(
You know how there are videos out there with just the swearing from certain films, like Shaun of the Dead?
How about just the kicking from Kickboxer?
@Ynefel. EVE talk.
So I have been trying out the Rifter and I kinda have issues with Autocannons.
Sure they do lots of damage but my optimal range is about 500m with the good ammo, maybe 5000m at falloff range.
It’s fast but against multiple opponents I still get shot up by the ones I am not orbiting and in PVP that would be well within web range.
Am I doing something wrong? What do you pack on your Wolf and how do you fly it? (If I may ask)
-
I have 4 x 125mm Small Autocannon II, loaded with Barrage S charges. My Wolf is setup for armor tanking, I think it has 400mm Rolled Tungsten Plate and an armor repairer – I forget which type. I inevitably get bashed by targets I’m not shooting at, but I find for the most part, I destroy things pretty quick – and while my shield drops out in no time, my armor holds really well.
I just try and prioritise targets as best I can and shred them one at a time, whilst weathering the damage from the ones I’m not shredding.
Bear in mind I’ve had 0 experience at PvP, this is just how I manage PvE targets. Also, my approach may not be entirely correct. Although I find for smaller, faster ships like frigates, I think small autocannons are the weapon of choice. They have pretty snappy tracking.
Thanks for those videos too btw, the tracking/spiralling one was particularly enlightening.
Google potential Rifter loadouts – there’s websites where people submit their loadouts of choice, and often list their approach to combat using said loadout. I think there’s various ways to tackle things – look around and see what the general consensus is, then refine it to your tastes.
I really need to sit down and recheck my current loadout, it was chosen when I played last, which was almost a year ago.
-
Mmk cool.
-
Cakebro!
Schedule a ME3 play date!
Doooo eeeeetttt!
So Bruno was on TV last night – having not seen it i thought i would give it a shot.
Normally i like stupid and immature…
BUT MAN THIS MOVIE WAS FUCKING STUPID AS SHIT AND MORE IMMATURE THAN I COULD HANDLE!!!
Pardon the french.. just.. what the hell… that movie is TERRIBLE… turned it off after 15 mins or so… to be fair i laughed a few times.. but the rest i just couldn’t bare…
my gawd…
-
Yeah, one of the few movies I’ve walked out of. It went past the point of being funny into just plain offensive territory.
Accidentally skipped dinner last night and breakfast this morning and now I’m really, really hungry.
-
Too much Minecraft, eh?
-
Smith yourself a cake and then eat it, problem solved
Yo! -0

Oh lawdy, that 5,000th post =P

Man, over 6000 words a week. I don’t even think I wrote that match at uni.
-
Much I meant much not match.
-
-
-
Out posted by everybodies joke accounts, I really was out of it last week
OH YEAH! 69 POSTS BABY!
Why are my posts always concise?
Eugh I can’t locate my Snow leopard discs D=
@cakesmith about “social”
Sorry, I should have elaborated, I mean it’s a more personal, “bunch of friends eating, drinking and playing a fun game thing” DnD is fun, but what I find the most fun is being with my friends.
But yeah, I’m actually not happy I used the word social, I usually don’t like describing things like that as social, as you pointed out, sorry
-
Sounds like my comment came off as defensive which I wasn’t intending 😛
I’ve been thinking about next gen consoles lately and I think that next gen consoles should launch with a free to play game or two.
The free to play games are beneficial to a console launch because
1. Little to no barrier to entry. All you need to buy is the console.
2. Having a free to play game helps with promotion e.g Buy a PS4 and get two free games.
3. Helps to introduce people to your online store where they can buy other downloadable games and DLC.
-
They probably will, at least something downloadable to a demo disc.
-
That should read OR A demo disc
-
I hope so. I’ve always wondered why many free to play game companies don’t partner with stores to give out free discs.
I have seen some league of legends discs at EB Games though.
-
Because that would cost them money, and F2P games usually don’t have that.
But yea, more free games is awesome.
-
-
-
Well, Nintendo did that with all if the 3DS games on it, and that appears to work because all my friends do is street pass and play that RPG on it…
-
Hell yeah it worked! Streetpass is the greetest.
I think it’s pretty safe to say that the WiiU at least will have a pack-in game of some sort. It worked pretty well for them with Wii Sports. Won’t be surprised at all if Sony/Microsoft do a similar thing as well.
-
-
Free to Play is the new hotness, the current way the consoles are put together and their whole online systems etc are just not going to work for F2P games, and I imagine they’ll be wanting some of that pie so it’s fair to assume they’ll fix this problem.
However I think the consoles will still be unattractive compared to the PC, simply because MS/Sony/Nintendo will want their pound of flesh from all the transactions.
-
Alex the kid \o/
I disappeared for a while there.
It is COLD outside.
Not doing that again.
-
It’s not too bad here, about 7, overcast, and threatening to rain.
-
Yeah, Mum laughs every time she looks at Canberra’s weather and it’s all your fault =P
-
I met a guy in Canada who decided that he didn’t want to live in Canberra based on its weather. :/
-
How is that possible? Wouldn’t it have been warm for him?
-
Not exactly. He was from the South-Eastern side, not quite in Quebec(can’t remember the province name). By Canadian standards it had quite moderate temperatures, so throughout winter it was similar to Canberra in terms of temperature, except it had a lower maximum temperature (So -3 to 5 in a day, rather that -4 to 16 for example). Then throw an Aussie summer on top of that.
-
So he couldn’t handle our crazy weather XD
-
Nova Scotia? I have family living there.
-
I think it was the inland side of Quebec. I can’t really remember though, it was quite a while ago.
-
Dude some parts of Quebec are FREEZING. I thought I was going to die in my uncle’s boyfriend’s cousin’s bed.
-
Oh yeah, the majority of Canada is well colder than Canberra, just the part he was from wasn’t.
-
-
-
… 7? O_O
17 here, and I thought it was kinda cold.
-
Come to Canberra, we’re colder than Hobart!
Thanks to our elevation it gets rather chilly ’round these parts.
So, I’ve been watching a lot of stuff on Dishonored and it looks pretty awesome. But i want them to cut back on the magic/powers side of things. I mean, it might be fun to be able to teleport and posses other people for a short period of time, but i think it kind of hurts the stealth element. Hopefully they allow enough freedom to hot have to rely on those for every mission.
What i really want is a pure stealth game, as in you have no weapons and you have to basically use your surroundings as well as some clever observations to progress. But then again, it’s probably too small a genre to get a Triple A game out of that idea.
-
The devs have hinted that you can play the whole game without killing anyone.
-
Yeah, but you’ll probably need to use a fair amount of magic to achieve that. Imagine, sitting there, sketching out the patrol patterns of guards on a piece of paper, getting the timing down perfectly to go between one area and another. A puzzle stealth game. Glorious.
-
-
Have you ever played Tenchu on wii?
Obviously you don’t have to kill people, but it makes things easier (being a Ninja and all).
However, as soon as you were spotted, you had to go back to the starting area. -
From what I’ve read, I think it will balance it all out nicely.
Saw the Avengers on Saturday. Good movie.
More importantly, had two truly amazing games of air hockey while waiting for it to start. Both games were 7-6. Both games won by me. Straight shots were crazily effective but I started to throw in some forehands (everyone just hits backhand in air hockey, everyone) and that seemed to confuse my opponent.
Good times.
Intense times.
You could tell who was in control of the game at any given time because the other person would be timidly trying to protect their goal.
Air hockey is awesome.
-
AIR HOCKEY SUCKS
-
Show me on the doll where air hockey touched you…
-
I finished Uncharted 3 Drake’s Decepticon in 2 days.
It’s pretty gay (as in when a man loves a man).
Now someone lend me uncharted 2 so I can continue playing them out of order
-
I could lend it to you. I’m still playing through one and getting angry at it
-
I might be in the minority on this but I enjoyed uncharted 1 more than 2. Something about the green jungles spoke to me.
-
It’s just the difficulty. I have it on easy and it’s still quite hard. Mind you I had to relearn the controls =P
-
Did you download the patch that allows you to turn off sixaxis grenade aiming?
-
No, I didn’t. But I never use the grenades
-
-
-
-
If it means anything 2 is superior to 1 in pretty much every way. Amazzzzingggg! I also prefer it to 3 which is pretty gay (cannot unsee Jordi’s fanfict readings…)
-
Oh god, my eyes!
-
A good rule of thumb I learned on teamspeak. Unless Jordi specifies what she is linking… DON’T CLICK IT!
-
She was pasting parts of her fanfic in chat.
-
-
I actually preferred the shooting setup in UC1. With pressing the d-pad to reload, etc. Took me ages to get used to UC2’s way of doing things.
-
Let’s be honest. It was awesomely bad. But still awesome.
-
-
We could totally do a games swap. Except I have games no one wants.
It’s just guy love, betweeeen twoooo guuuuuuuuys!
So… I’ve got a question or two for the brains trust of TAY.
Background – My job is no longer interesting enough to keep me wanting to turn up every day, so I think I need a new one. Now, the thing is, I’m not qualified to be anything other than a library tech, which really limits possibilities.
So, I need to get qualified in something. The other thing is, I’m not certain that want to stay in the information management line of work. In fact, I really dont. However, if I were to do a degree in something I’m actually interested in (finding something I really want to do is a problem for another day), I’d be 33 years old, with zero experience in whatever industry I go with.
The other option is to do a librarianship degree, finish it when I’m 31 & have about 10 years experience & therefore be pretty employable.
So, two questions –
1 : does anyone have a time machine that I could borrow so I can go back in time & tell my past self to not get into library work & not drop out of uni & to get into a job that doesnt turn out to just be a miserable mundane chore?
2 : failing that, do you think 33 years old is too old to start again career-wise, given that it would probably mean a severe decrease in income for quite a while?
-
Remember that companies are going to start hiring older people as they get $1000 for the 3 months that you’re hired. Some places are looking for older people.
Also certain jobs you can get no matter how little experience you have. However Nursing is a hard and terrible job. The only reason it’s a terrible job is because it’s a lot of hard work for crap pay. -
Well if you’re thinking about going back to uni you could just do a unit or two at a time and work full time still. That’s how my sister is doing her Masters degree. *cough* go to MQ and we’ll hang out and play snap *cough*
Early 30s isn’t too old to start again. I mean, you’re probably going to be working for another 30 years at least so it might as well be something you love.
#helping (not really)
-
Clint Eastwood’s first lead role was in A Fistful of Dollars. He was 34 at the time.
JK Rowling was 30 when she decided to write Harry Potter, her first major book.It’s never too late to start something. Age is irrelevant as long as you have the skills and the passion to back it up.
-
This! I think you can always achieve what you want! DREAM BIG. Okay biggish. Okay small first. Then maybe big later.
-
Lacking skills and passion is a problem though.
-
-
thanks all. you’re right. I’m gonna get out of this library thing & study something unrelated 🙂
as for what to study though… haha I’ll work it out later.@Batgirl : dunno about MQ, I’ll probably end up doing it via distance ed. but yeah, gatecrashing your uni & playing snap with the MQ TAYbies is always a good idea.
-
Italian + Opera Singing, that way if you ever go to an opera, you’ll be able to sing along.
#Helping
-
All you’d really need to learn to sing along to most Operas would be lots of words relating to sex and alcohol. Those things are filthy.
-
-
-
1: I could lend you my time machine, but I don’t think you are qualified to operate it without causing a paradox… sorry.
2: Not too old at all. I believe the average person changes careers 5 times in their life.
I am 29, the only real qualifications I have is a forklift ticket and job experience in various things. I too am sick of my job as a warehouse manager.
I started looking into getting a job in the mines a while back and found that without qualifications your chances are approximately squat.
I am getting my HR truck license and doing a course that gets me some tickets, doggers/riggers (to drive cranes) and a general mining induction course. I figure with these qualifications I can get my foot in the door at least by showing prospective employers that i’m willing to have a go.
Fortunately I have a supportive family to ease any transitional financial problems.I think you need to first figure out what you want to do (work wise). Then find out what qualifications you need. Lastly get those qualifications and get your dream job.
Motivate yourself, anything is possible if you work hard for it and the only person that can hold you back is you.
I wish you luck.
Hi TAY.
Managed half a day of work in which I finished 1/5th of a days work. Then got sick and went home. Yay.
And then I found 10 muffins.
-
Like on the ground? Dude.
-
They’re still good!
-
5 second rule! Seeing as there are 10 muffins that means 5^10 which means … 9,765,625 seconds, which means approximately 162,761 minutes which means 2713 hours which means 114 days which means 4 months (rounding up and assuming that a month = 30 days).
Unless they where on the ground for longer then 4 months he should be good.
-
-
10 muffins is not quite as awesome as 10 dollars but it is an acceptable end to your story.
7/10
-
What about 10 muffins with 10 dollars baked inside them?
-
That is what we call an awkward muffin to eat.
-
Not to mention disgusting. I’d want that money sterilised!
-
-
-
-
Did you really find 10 muffins as that would be awesome!
Also, did you see the new shirt design, you may be interested. -
Get well soon, mang
-
Did you eat some of Bishs’ funbags?
-
God damn commie, with his ricin funbags…
-
racist.
-
-
-
They were blueberry ones, and smell awesome. Here’s hoping I can eat one toady…oh, and they were baked at my house, so I assume they’re safe.
-
Now I want muffins /o\
GET WELL SOON MAN!
-
What are people doing for mothers day?
-
Staying away from my mother.
-
Sitting on TeamSpeak, playing games, probably.
Oh, you mean what will I do “different.” Hmmm… Probably give my mother chocolates, and cook dinner, since my father’s in Chicago.
-
I’m thinking of buying her food because I like food and she likes food. It will be full of fancy food that yuppies and hipsters eat.
-
OH GOD ITS MOTHERS DAY???
-
I have been told (by her) to buy her slippers apparently.
So Telstra sent us a new modem this morning, middle of the day my speed is usually meh, but with this new modem my speed & ping is a hell of a lot better!
-
Dat upload speed.
-
I know it’s pathetic isn’t it 😀
Spose that’s what a “20mbit” up & 1mbit down plan gets you =P
-
-
Faster than mine 🙁
-
howd you get a new modem outta them.? i need one.
So prior to the COD annoucement last week (it was last week, right?), I jokingly made a prediction about the new COD being ‘COD: Medical Corps’, where the player goes around healing/giving medical attention to soldiers in combat rather than directly participating (furthering the (bad) joke, with a multiplayer of ‘Lifematch’ rather than ‘Deathmatch’). While the mechanics might be a bit shakey, (esp. that multiplayer bit), I’m wondering if there could actually be game in this. Kind of like you not directly fighting, but performing a support role along the lines of the medic in TF2, but with less medic gun and more first aid kits/etc (maybe even a trauma center type mechanic). Maybe some light combat, but not really the focus.
I realise that it would totally alienate the typical COD-purchasing market, and so would be a collosal failure, but it’s just an idea that had been floating around my head. And also probably something that already exists, unknown to me, and so… nb4 “haven’t you seen game XYZ?”.
Also, I wanted to make at least one post today that was not TABTOL 😛
-
Well when I play BF3 I usually get most of my score reviving and healing people, does that count?
-
Did the same in BF2, and liked it more than actually direct fighting (excluding vehicles).
To be perfectly honest, I like Fleds idea more than any other concept I’ve heard in games for the past decade (nearly two). Kickstarter? 😀 -
I guess, but I was thinking maybe more (it pains me to say this) ‘mini-game’ type stuff for the fixeruppering, rather than just HOLD BUTTON TO HEAL/REVIVE
-
True enough. But the getting to the guy should be as intense as running through half a team’s suppressing fire before diving behind a pot plant.
-
Okay, okay. How about this. Attempting to drag an injured soldier back to cover. While wars usually have the “don’t shoot medics” rule, there will still be potshots, potential stray explosives, so on and so forth, and you have to try and be gentle with the body, or else they bleed out. To make it more interesting, there’s no “failure state” so if said person dies, then that’s it. Slowly, your character has to deal with the grief from those they couldn’t save, drinking themselves into a depression, horrified by the wa-
On second thoughts, that might be a little dark. Maybe not.
-
-
-
The only problem is that playing medic on a team full of bots is pretty dull. I love playing support classes though so maybe I would enjoy it. Most of my class load outs on TF2 have some sort of support item.
Who knows. 😛
Hey all. Am sick at home, so haven’t been too active here. Watching season 4 of Sons of Anarchy, and it is seriously amazing. Two hundred times better than season 3, and even that was pretty good. It is incredible.
-
SHANE! I’ve been meaning to reply to your email.
Essentially, if you want the G13 it’s yours. I don’t want anything for it 😀
-
I have a friend who bought one of those, and has been using it pretty much for a function they don’t even advertise on the box!
Serious dust collecting tool.

CAKESMITH! I accept, but insist on recompense! Thank you

It’s such a good season, season 5 should be amazing.

Todays out of context Rocketman quote:
If you found a juicy steak in your box don’t tell me you wouldn’t be impressed.
-
Yeah that completely confused me for a while.
-
… … It’s way too early for my Rocketman translator to function.
-
Blaghman up before dusk? What is this?
I kid. Hi Blaghs! How is your Minecraft project going?
-
Haven’t worked on it today. I’m tossing up whether I should try and find an arse-tonne of gold to do this properly, or just cheat with yellow wool…
-
Depending how legit you want it to be I could make some gold magically appear.
-
I think I’ll finish everything else up(which will require even more arse-tonnes of stone), and then decide how dedicated I’m feeling. Though thank you for the offer.
-
Feel free to check my stone chest in my house. I’ve stockpiled a bit.
-
Minecraft needs vehicles. Specifically drilling machines so after a point you can stop digging holes by hand.
-
-
BUT THAT RUINS THE FUN >:(
-
Fun? No, the mining isn’t the fun part. Exploring is fun. Building is fun. Mining is ehh.
Well, for me, anyhow. I know it varies, person to person.
-
Is it possible to give limited creator powers? Like people can create infinite wood/stone/wool/maybe glass but you need to mine for fancy stuff.
That would remove some of the tedium of large structures. -
Kind of. On a server I played on ages back, you could type “/iron” and the game would give you… 3 iron? Something like that, just to help people get started, and you could use the command once every few minutes, so it was pretty useful, so it might be possible to set something like that up.
-
-
Yep that’s my opinion too.
I was just making fun of Cakesmith who wouldn’t put me on creative mode because “it ruins the fun” 😛

There is also a difference between giving some extra mats and giving you unlimited mats.
To be fair in context i don’t make a whole lot of sense either. ROCKETMAN OUT BITCHAS
Australia Post is slacking off again. 🙁
-
What do you mean again? You’re implying there was a time when they were actually doing their job.
-
I worked in a post office. They just go for some drinks and then drop all the parcels at the end of the day claiming no one was home
We Minecrafting tonight? I like it better when I’m not playing foreveralone. I might actually start building something since everyone has epic structures and I have my hut thing…
-
I probably will be once I finish my work! and agreed, multiplayer is a lot more fun than single player. It makes me actually want to play instead of just using it to waste time. 😛
-
I’ll be on.
I’m putting the Mawtress on hold and going to work on some automated defences for the town, since we seem to still be getting assualted by creepers on a regular basis.-
Heh I like it when they just get randomly stuck on people’s property

I’m planning on playing. Whether I actually end up playing is another matter entirely…

Have I missed teh Trials post this week?
What is this weeks track? Can Sughly and (Sir) Greenius be handicapped?
-
Haha 😛
I don’t think FatShady has picked a track yet but there should be more info on it later. People expressed interest in Mindbender (? whatever the crazy rotating one is called) so it might be that but we’ll just have to wait and find out.
-
Oh I forgot to add but the last time I checked you didn’t have much of us on your friends list. I’m usually in the top 5 for most tracks but I’ve noticed with these trials competition tracks, I get beaten quite easily. I’m sure the others here won’t mind adding you, it’s much better with more people at various skill levels :).
-
-
He posted on Twitter it would be….is it Elevation? One of the easy tracks.
-
Yeah, last night he said it was Elevation.
Which happens to be my least favourite of the easy tracks. Shady sure know how to pick ’em! 😛

Holy crap, Belle from Beauty and the Beast(aka Paige O’Hara) has gotten old*. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0Ycl3dtPyg&feature=related
I mean sure, the movie’s as old as I am, but now I’m feeling old.
*Not like, super old, in a wheelchair, or anything, but still, old.
-
“I mean sure, the movie’s as old as I am, but now I’m feeling old.”
OOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDD
-
It’s true, I’m ancient. Worse, the movie wasn’t released until 1992 in Australia(Why do I know that off the top of my head?), so I’m older than its Aussie history.

I have Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on my phone!
It blows big time.

You know what else blows big time?
-
Leaf blowers?

Whales?
-
Oscillating fans?

Reverse cycle vacuum cleaners?
-
Geysers?
-
People getting random breath tests?
Don’t leave us hanging Pez.

The suspense is killing me!

I blow quite well allegedly

An air compressor?

Gold run on an Extreme track literally about to finish, way under the fault requirement and I pushed the left analgue stick too far left and too hard, my finger slipped and hit the BACK button :'(
The track was The Wreck too which is hard! Aarrrggghhhhh
-
Can’t get close again and it looks like I’m getting worse… :'(
-
Wooo productive Trials sesh
Finally got a gold medal in The Wreck and managed to get a silver in Inferno 3 :).
I like how my faults are EXACTLY on the limit for 4 of the Extreme tracks. It’s so intense especially when you’re on your last fault!
-
So according to the Gizmodo article below James Cameron is only going to make Avatar movies.
I was actually looking forward to see what he could do with Battle Angel.
-
Wasn’t he holding off on that because he still doesn’t think tech is at the level it needs to be?
Went to the gym but really wasn’t feeling up to a proper workout. The solution? Cardio only day!
An hour on the treadmill covering a bit more than 7km followed by about 10 min on the rowing machine covering 2km. Would have finished with another half hour on the exercise bike but they were all taken. So I went home and started watching Captain America instead.
Tomorrow, I’ll have to do a real workout. This could be the start of a proper workout routine. One day of cardio, one day of free weights. The only problem is that I have to go every day and I definitely haven’t been doing that.

… Aside from all the other things, of course.
-
I shall have to try it again. Last time I had a glass of just milk I would’ve been like…6.
-
Don’t worry, I don’t like milk by itself either.
Chocolate milk… now that’s a different story.
-
Wrong, has to be strawberry
-
This.
-
-
Milo!
I just had some, was yum 🙂 -
Chocolate milk is ok, but cold milo with enough milo so that it doesn’t all dissolve and you get that top layer of moist milo is best
-
-
Milk makes me barf. When I was 5 I had milk on my Rice Bubbles and threw up over my favourite dress. Never again. Never. Again.
-
You’re doing it wrong.
-
What the hell do you have on your Rice Bubbles if not milk?
-
My sister, on the rare occasion when she has cereal, will never have milk on it. Including porridge. HOW CAN YOU EAT PORRIDGE WITHOUT MILK!!??
-
I like to read the first part of that as a response to the second.
It’s rather disturbing.
-
I eat cereal without milk…
-
Some cereals I can understand, but porridge?
-
Going off your tweets I thought all your dresses were your favourite.
Soooo good
Milk is fantastic. Occasionally, I’ll go through periods where I drink litres of the stuff a day and it’s glorious. So glorious.
-
I see nothing wrong with this at all!
-
And you shouldn’t.
-
-
Vomit worthy.
-
I can scull down a 1Lt bottle no worries 🙂
-
-
I love milk.
How was this not linked?
Some of my friends are really looking forward to the company of heroes 2 announcement this week. I just wish I had played the original to know why they are excited. 🙁
-
It’s pretty cheap on Steam and there are more than a few of us on TeamSpeak who would be willing to have a game with you. I’d be one of those willing people but there’s the slight issue with my computer being in several pieces and one of those key pieces being looked at by the manufacturer.
Sooooo… I may have slept from wed until Saturday due to a flu… What did I miss last week peoples?
-
Can’t remember.
-
There’s a joke here somewhere.
-
-
There was a mild zombie outbreak, but it was quelled relatively quickly and everyone got a free smoothie to celebrate.
-
Many heads were blasted off quickly, by me, it was glorious!
-
Unbeknowst to everyone though, the smoothie was the cause of the zombie outbreak. Luckily for me I hate smoothies, so I’m the only one who’s not a zombie….
-
You hate smoothies? All smoothies?
-
99 % of smoothie drinks have banana in them.It’s what gives them their creamy, thick consistency. I’m not fond of bananas. In fact, just the smell of them makes me feel like throwing up.
-
I’m not sure that statistic is accurate, but aaaanyway…
You’re strange, Strange. -
I’m not sure it is either. In fact, I’m pretty sure I was exaggerating. About the percentage, not about how gross bananas are. 😛

THAT’S A FUNNY WAY OF SPELLING 3DS!
…What games did you get? xD
-
ITS AN XBOXDSTATION 4 DEGREES
i got ultimate marvel 3 and uncharted :3
-
My son’s having a long nap so I’ve been playing Mass Effect 3 for the past few hours. I had a lot of fun, including a hilarious extended view of Shepard’s love interest as he walked in front of her. 😛 I also spent some time with the guy and we professed our love and held hands and all that, but when we got back to the Normandy he was all “Can’t talk right now”.
Dammit, I thought he’d be all nekkid in my cabin where he belongs. 😛
-
*that should be…Shepard’s love interest’s rear end…
Man, I should really either work on Serrels birthday pic or something, but I just can’t bring myself too. Maybe I should just game. If the TV was available
-
Would you like me to shout encouraging slogans at you?
-
No, because then i may do something =P Aside from eat a muffin
-
That is some xpectacular muffin eating.
*stands to applause*-
X IS FOR XTREME
-
It is! According to advertising
-
-
-
Oh, well, too late. I’m not sure exactly where you lived, so I just shouted in a southwards direction. Don’t know if it’ll reach you though. My neighbours house may have absorbed it all.
-
Selfish neighbours D=
-
-
HAI GUYS!
Essay isn’t going too fantastically :\ Spend most of last night trying (and failing) to keep my dinner down buuuut I should only lose 2-4% AKA almost nothing off it and that’s if I don’t see my doctor tomorrow for another certificate. Oh, my lecturer might be a bit grouchy with me 😛 He shouldn’t be though…right?
-
Is he the one who you get along with?
-
He’s usually pretty easy going. I’m just neurotic I’m going to piss someone off. I was worried about offending my doctor by not filling a script for a medication that had some pretty scary side effects.
-
I think Yellowius would have some ideas on improving your grade.
-
HEY-OH
-
Spend less time in Tay and TAYbar and more time working hard and studying…
In my pants baby! Ditch these loser nerds and come with me. I’ll show you how to score… High marks….
In my pants!
-
-
You did WHAT!?
Oh.
My.
God.
You are the worst.-
Drugs with crazy side effects are the best!
-
So what you’re saying is that next time we see her, she’ll be a short fat man?
-
You mean she’s not already?
-
Hey! I’m not a man.
-
You’re a “gamer girl” on the internet. 97% chance you’re really a dude 😛
-
I’m just joking btw *ruffles hair*
-
-
-
I feel like I would have noticed if Phil Collins was hanging around us.
-
….now you’ve done it.
♫I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord? Oh Lord♫ -
Well, this is awkward.
-
-
*clears throat*
CAN YOU FEEL IT COMING IN THE AIR TONIGHT, OH LORD.
How does he sing that without cracking up?
-
Because Phil Collins is awesome?
I-I-I-IIII REMEMBER-EMBER! I-I-I Remember don’t worry-orry-rry-ry.. How could I ever forget? The first time… The last time we ever met-et-et…
🙁
Turn dat frown upside down
🙂
When people vote to kick you out of a public match in ME3 10 seconds after joining the lobby, I know their strangers but it hurts man.
-
There there buddy
gonna be alright…
-
*they’re.
Oh man is scree gonna be MAAAAADDDD…
-
Huh? Why? I read it with no issues.
-
Scree used “too” instead of “to” in a recent post pf hers. Along with leaving off a full stop. I think you’re safe, Freeze. 😛
-
Exactly. As long as you don’t write three sentences without leaving some idea of where one ends and the other begins, then I don’t care. =P
-
-
You’ve all lost the plot, or i’ve simply not had enough sleep of late..
-
-
I had that happen. Worst, I could hear them discussing it over their headsets!
-
it’s okay man, we are here for you <3
-
And now I’m even less likely to try out multiplayer. I’d even be too scared to play it with you guys. 😛
-
It’s all cooperative. No competition. Which is probably why I love it so much. Just you and three others fending off 11 waves of enemies.
It gets a bit tough when you’re facing off 4 brutes and 2 banshees in the gold level challenges though.
-
That sounds pretty awesome! But I will now have to find where internet is being made.
-
-
Finally caught up on tay. Spent my day at hot springs, and eating at a really expensive restaurant down the coast. Now just chillaxing while my wife tries to find a fish n chips shop thats actually open on monday.
-
Tough life, ey? 😀
-
Congrats on the 666666th comment 😛
-
Oh man, I was going to search TAY to see if it was here, but you already did that for me.
-
-
HEY BATGIRL, since you decided to post Phil Collins lyrics thanks to you I had to go put on his music D= haha
-
Way to ignore Cakesmith, Virus.
Don’t worry Cake buddy, I’m here for you!-
He cut me deep Bish. He cut me real deep.
-
His post wasn’t there at first I swear!
-
Dang it. 98996 credits. 4 off the premium spectre pack. I have to play an entire match now.
-
Just play up to the third round, and then throw it hard! BEST STRATEGY!
So the Elin race in TERA officially crosses the line from cute to disturbing.
-
How’d you end up eventually fixing the installation? Download, download, download?
So, I just had a look at the “Three Point Landing” article over on Giz, and it talks about that ridiculous pose, and blah blah blah. But, the video accompanying it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mgOtPXDyKjA) got me interested. Why?
Because Oni appears. Not once, not twice, but three times. I now love this clip, even if it is slightly mocking a thing I love.
Also, the answer to why it happens is “blame anime.”
MELBOURNE TAYBIES
This Friday! We eat steak!
This Saturday! We eat chocolate!
Yes yes?
Let me know who is interested (will probably be me and me.)
-
I’m interested!
Not coming but interested all the same!
(one day I will visit both Melbourne and sydney for meatness. Maybe end of year.)
-
Me to! Nova will drive I am sure!
-
I chauffeur all the meats
-
-
-
I’m actually booked for Saturday. But I don’t know what it is.
Also, not sure I can afford steak and also getting home is an issue ^^;;
I’m sorry. I would come to the chocolate one if I could =( -
Sadly cant make it. Throwing a late party for my 30th, and will probably be still cleaning n stuff friday night.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
-
-
HELLO
-
You know my answer 🙁
GUUUUUUUUUYS Scree says I am mean, am I? =O
-
You so are.
-
=(
-
-
-
(link to that TAY from ages ago where that Texan and his friends disliked Virus because he’s terrible)
-
That was only like last week, dude XD
-
…really? :O
Seemed a lot longer ago lol
-
Haha yeah, it was only like last week or two..
-
-
-
-
You would, Bish! =O
I don’t know about mean, but spoilery….
Also, please stop using TAY as your couples’ therapy, it’s probably best we don’t get involved. 😛
-
Pshaw, we don’t need therapy. I ended up using eenie, meenie, minee mo to choose
-
Pfft, that one time you’re gonna let me forget that are you? D=
@Ruffles and Blaghs re: Dishonored.
The puzzle-stealth you thought of somewhat reminds me of the non-lethal levels in the original Splinter Cell.
-
I liked how in Chaos Theory you could knock people out with foil.
Like a true ninja. -
I never played the original, played a bit of Chaos Theory, and through all of Double Agent, and I did like that it rewarded you for not killing people.
The thing is, “non lethal levels” in the same way as the early 2000s “stealth” level in shooters, can often feel really… awkward? I don’t know. I haven’t played them, so I can’t comment, but I find that shoehorning extra rules on to things often plays badly. Food for thought, or something.
-
Well, in the original, there was a level where you infiltrated some CIA headquartes building or somesuch. As a result, you were forbidden from killing anyone. Made for a very, very fun level. I’d spend hours mentally mapping and timing guard patterns, designing strategies, implementing them and then failing, only to learn a new piece of information that improved my next attempt. Learning which guards to knock out and which to completely avoid was so fun.
-
Also,
@Strange
I totally agree with you about bananas. Blech.
-
:O bananas are awesome!
-
I don’t really like them either ^^;;
-
GREENIUS IS CORRECT! THE PHALLIC FRUIT IS AMAZING!
-
Filthy lies.
LIES! -
OPINIONS!
Mine are always right!
-
I’ll trade you this banana for the rest of that Snack Pack.
-
-
-
Dear Mr Crackalacker
If you don’t like bananas a quick idea to be rid of them is to give them to your wife/girlfriend/cousin/aunt/sister/mother/grandmother as a birthday gift as a subtle way to tell them to go eff themselves.
They’ll find your dry subtle wit an absolute riot and shower you with praise.
Uncle Freeze.
-
I just don’t buy/receive bananas. If I do receive bananas, the person who gives them to me can expect it in the back of the head as soon as they turn around.
Bananas are awesome, if they’re not mushy/rotten.
-
Yet more proof that you’re awesome.
So I’m doing a small assignment on Dropbox right now. Have a look at their help website. Specially, look at the icon for the “Security and Privacy” link. Interesting… Very interesting. xD
-
I don’t know what Dropbox is but that icon is awesome ;D
-
AWESOME! Dropbox is now officially and permanently better than their competition.
-
Any competition. Freaking awesome.
-
I agree with the above comments 🙂

At first I thought it was “Cheesius” and figured someone around here was involved. 😛

I like cheese.
Hi,everybody.
What’s been happening in this parTAY?
-
Is it bad that I thought of this as a joke?
“Flight Control: Al Qeda edition”?-
So apparently minecraft is back up?
may i request a listing in the white? 😀
-
well, thats embarrissing

Onto serious matters…
Today I ended up getting a HIVE gun cradle for my PS Move.
It was originally $24, but it scanned as $10. \o/
I also got two Powerpuff Girls bobble-heads.-
Powerpuff Girls \o/
-
Starting final mission in ME3.
*deep breath*
I just had a thought…
Instead of dropping an extra $80 on this: …
http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/game/ps3/ps3-move-sharp-shooter/633167
Why not duct tape the nav controller to the back of this for easy access?

Win?
-
Oh! Pretty! Do we still have creative mode on? I want to build a nice little cottage with a love dungeon.
-
Love dungeon, is that the same as Alf Stewarts Rape Dungeon?
-
Yeah but I cuddle afterwards.
-
Best dungeon evar!
-
-
-
-
Where on earth is the place in those last three images? With the nether portal. I have never seen that before!
-
That’s presumably Nos’ Place. If you stand in more or less the middle of town, and head towards the crop place, then keep going, that’s kind of the right way.
-
Correct. There should be a few boats down at the dock.
-
-
-
It’s funny how even screenshots that are only a few hours old are already out of date. xD Minecraft moves quickly! Oh, and you can see me in the farm! 😀 When we get a bit more done we should take shots of each person standing next to their houses/whatever they built.
ps. Nice texture pack, by the way. I will take some screenshots with mine tonight. They look significantly different. xD
-
Whoa!
I really need a texture pack 😛
-
Speaking of which, I wouldn’t mind if people could take some random pics of their game if they’re using different texture packs. This way I get to see most of them and can probably pick one I like from there :D.
inb4lookupatexturesiteongoogleandpickoneyoulike
-
I am using Dokucraft. It comes in 3 flavours. Dark, Normal, Light. Dark is more of a gothic fantasy, which is the set up using. Light is more “high” fantasy – i guess “elven” in style.
-
-
Aaaarrrrghhhh!
Frozen with indecision!
-
Indecision over what?
-
I’m going to take a stab in the dark, and say “the ending of Mass Effect 3.”
-
Yep. And without spoilers, I really don’t get why everyone was so upset.
-
Well, okay. Some of it broke logic a bit was confusing but not even close to the depths of insanity and WTFness a Final Fantasy ending can be.

I’m frozen with indecision every time they want me to decide which party member to do something important while we defend the position so I imagine I’ll be completely paralysed at the end.
-
Never had tht problem. I always had Tali and James with me. Tali did the techy things while myself and James shot everything.
-
I don’t have her yet. I’m pretty sure my next Priority mission will involve her though, considering where it is. I’m a bit busy at the moment trying to keep up with the bazillion and one other things to do though.
When I play with my ManShep he’ll probably take her everywhere with him, as usual. They make a good team.
-
Good morning all!
So would anyone like to *censored* my *censored* so I don’t have to *censored*
*not as bad as it looks*
Also – strange I’ll take measurements today… It was waist and length yes?
Who wants ginger hugs? Going free today 🙂
-
I understood about 8 words of that post, but you are getting better chris. 🙂
-
Why thank you Rocketman
I’m just procrastinating going to work
-
-
Good morning, Sir Mr GingerChris!
Yes, waist and length. Waist being around where you want it to sit, and length being where you want it to end. -
Only if you put *censored* in my *censored* so it doesn’t continue to taste like arse.
Once again, not as bad as it looks.
Also re the Phil Collins talk last night. Let’s talk naughty song lyrics. Personally I don’t mind whole new way by scissor sisters.
I’ve found a whole new way to love you, when I sneak up from behind, it’s gonna blow your mind or else this time we’re through.
Then theres it’s raining men. Absolutely soaking wet…
Any machine gun fellatio song
HAI GUYS!
Just went back through TAY and noticed i was highest commenter last week?
Who says drugs are bad?!
also – NONE of the comments were anything from 9gag!!!!
I’m doing it, daddy! 😀
Also – meeting at uni yesterday was an utter waste of my Samuel-L-Jackson time!
-
Did get anything resolved? If not that is shit.
-
*SNIFF*
Our little Chuloopa is growing up …
Also that’s shit about uni, what happened man?
-
For those asking, rather than replying to one person:
Basically went into uni and while one guy was ok, the other was a stereotypical white-knight of the faculty – telling me that basically everything is my fault and blah blah blah.
Mannnnnn it was sooo hard taking the high road and keeping my cool – but i am damned determined to out-mature these bastards and beat them at their own silly little game.The worst part is that because it’s a private institution, there’s not a lot of avenues that i can explore without them stiffing me completely.
-
Damn that sucks dude 🙁
What grade did you end up getting? Hopefully it wasn’t worth too much % of your final grade and you can earn more marks in other areas (like the exam).
-
Back at work /o\
Although I did get a muffin from the little cafe near where I work \o/
Before you ask, it was blueberry. Blueberry muffins are THE BEST! \o/
-
Raspberry.
-
Raspberry and white chocolate muffins are the BEST.
Aww, now I wish I had some white chocolate so I could make some. 🙁
-
I’ve just been playing The Last Story for the last half an hour. I was catching up on overnight internet when my son came up to me and pleaded “Can you play final Fantasy? Please?”. So I told him I had a new game that was like Final Fantasy and started The Last Story. Seems fun so far.
Especially when I went into the menu and clicked “colours” which I thought would change the menu colours but soon discovered changed the colours of the characters outfits. \o/
-
Dressing Up virtual people is quite fun 🙂 Also your son sounds awesome.
-
omfg yay!
Now we can discuss it and stuff :D. I haven’t played it for months because of no motivation and no buddies to talk about it with…
There seems to be a demand to put the Minecraft server in creative mode.
Thoughts for those playing. Yes? No?
-
I honestly only find the game interesting in survival mode. If people want creative mode rights then I have no problem with them receiving it. That’s just my thoughts though.
-
You can do that? I only ever play Minecraft in creative mode (so mainly I play it solo), survival mode doesn’t interest me. I just wanna play with legos and not worrry about resources and health and stuff!
-
Well I didn’t think it was but apparently Pez had creative mode turned on only for him? Not quite sure though.
-
Pez is in creative mode because he asked to be and so I gave it to him.
Then I adjusted his game mode to creative.
-
You mean I adjusted my own game mode to be creative because I’m an op?
Yeah, that.
-
Actually, you’re not an OP anymore 😛
-
Hmmm….
So are you opping/de-opping people at random?
-
Depends on my mood.
-
Awesome.
Well given that I’ve contributed cash towards the server, if you could at least give me the courtesy of a heads up when you decide to change my access, that would be swell.
-
It was a joke Pez 😛
I de-opped everyone because there was a heap from the first world we blew up. I haven’t got around to giving you permission again.
-
-
-
For a public server with that many people? No.
I think it’d take away part of the purpose of Minecraft MP. It’s supposed to turn into a “Remember the time when we built [that world] up from scratch? It was the blurst of times.” story.
-
Or that time Bish was like: “Stupid Notch”
-
OMG NOTCH I HATE HIM NOW. SO MUCH SO THAT I REFUSE TO TURN OFF CAPS.
FOR SOME REASON YOU CAN PLACE BLOCKS ON VINES? WTF I BLAME NOTCH!!!!11!!!1!
-
HIS HEAD IS A BUTT THAT’S WHY HE NEEDS A BUTTHAT
-
-
Yeah but for me that was fun the first 3 or 4 worlds but now it’s more “Oh so I have to mine a f***ton of stone and chase a thousand sheep and punch a hundred trees. For many hours, yet again, before I can even start building.”
Has gotten old. Tho I guess I have not done a lot of the new stuff like skyland before.
MINECRAFT SERVER?
-
What of it?
-
Do not give Steve-O Creative Mode powers.
The cleanup from last time was… unpleasant. -
Just showing my excitement. Is this a public kotaku server or exclusive? If the former where can I find the deets? I’ve got massive bug-fixes to finish at work and need a distraction.
-
What’s your username? I need to whitelist you.
-
SteveoTheDeveo
Also can you send the address to steveo(dot)the(dot)deveo(at)gmail(dot)com? Thanks mang!
-
Or I could just post it here 😛
27.50.70.9:28065
-
That will work. Guess it doesn’t matter if you have a whitelist.
-
I figure most people who will brave the depths of TAY can generally be trusted anyway 😛
-
-
I’d say no. Creative mode is only fun until you run out of ideas.
The general consensus seems to be that more people like it on survival. Some people wouldn’t mind being on creative (wink wink) but I’ll manage… I just won’t build anything in my secret underground area. It’s taking FOREVER to clear it out though but at least Blaghs can use the cobblestone and I get iron out of it! Equivalent exchange! (been watching too much FMA:B lately)
You can set creative mode on a player-by-player basis. Like what Blaghs and I are doing.
I say leave it in survival but enable creative for those that want it.
-
BLAGHS IS IN CREATIVE AS WELL?
CAKESMITH WHY DO YOU HATE ME?
-
Blaghs is in creative? I thought it was just you.
-
Last time I checked he wasn’t cause he did ask for a lot of cobblestone and I gave him 1088 blocks.
But if he is…
:'(-
oh.
I saw him making a massive building and just assumed.
Guess it’s just me with my fancy wool floor.
-
Yeah just you. I was for a little bit last night when I went exploring because I couldn’t be bothered eating food and climbing mountains.
-
-
Survival! Keep it in survival!
Also, we should do a Leather Cap Tour sometime.
I like it in survival. I’m happy for people to have creative if they want it. If the whole server got changed to creative I’d stop playing. Well, I’d build some giant wang structures first, then I’d stop playing.
Hey gois!
Miecraft on 360 – it’s here soon… anyone know if it’s any different to the PC version?
Would it be worth picking up?
-
Man, it would be cool if it was cross platform so those Xboxians could join TAYworld.
-
THIS DOESN’T ANSWER MY QUESTION!
*backhand*
*Exasperated sigh*
Useless…
-
-
lambo should know about it as he seems to be excited about getting it when we discussed XBLA games.
I haven’t really looked into it so l can’t really help but I’m pretty sure it has split screen multiplayer goodness. Another game to play with Bee? :).
But you could get it on PC to play with your fellow TAYbies… ya know, just say’n
-
We’re going to need a bigger server 😛
-
Was that lag last night just normal or because we had a fair amount of TAYbies in?
That’s the most I’ve seen at any given time and I don’t think it’ll get that much more unless we organise it as a Community Gaming Night game 😛
How much are you currently paying? If we need a bigger faster one we can all chip in 🙂
-
When I was on I didn’t notice any lag. I’ll put you in creative mode next time we’re both on Greenius.
And don’t worry about chipping in. You’re an unemployed uni student, you need to save all the money you can 😛
-
I still leech of parents 😛
-
-

The Verge has a review of it up on their site: http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/5/7/3003414/minecraft-xbox-360-edition-xbla-review
I think the xbox version is based off version 1.8, whereas the pc version is at 2.5. They’ll be updating it pretty quickly once it’s out though (or so I heard). So, a few items missing, nothing really majorly important though.
Also, split screen looks like it’ll be fun. And there’s a tutorial too, and tips and stuff so you don’t need to read the wiki to find out how to play.
-
SPLIT SCREEN MINECRAFT
i think i am going to have to look into this now. Playing split screen seems pretty awesome. Of course i am going to have to buy a new xbox but thats okay. -
I don’t have time to read this at work, but is there any sort of online MP?
-
Yep. No servers though. You’re just inviting people to come play in your world. It supports up to 8 people, locally and online, so you could have 8 people playing together on two xboxes, 4 on each via splitscreen. We should try this at a meat 😛
-
Groovin’ The Moo was pretty fun. Started drinking jungle juice at 7 in the morning. Got crash tackled by a bunch of wild girls (cool) who then proceeded to help with my beard (uncool). Was too drunk to care and didn’t have enough time to clean it up, so I went to the festival with chunks missing everywhere. Got a cheap pluto-pup because a food-lady thought I was disabled and I hit a guy in the back of the head with a bottle whilst he and his ‘classy’ lady were fornicating in front of everyone.
I guess the music was pretty good too.
-
I WAS IN TOWNSVILLE TO WE COULD OF HAD BEERS.
-
Damn. Missed opportunity. Did you do groovin’ as well?
-
I did not i am not a big fan of crowds of people from townsville wearing there pants to low while walking around in singlets and generally being over aggressive. Not the sort of thing i enjoy. Its a shame because i would have liked to see digitalism and adrian Lux.

Hey guys!
I was wondering if anyone here could tell me their favourite print ads (billboards, bus stop posters, magazines etc). Brand or general description is fine.
Cheers!
-
I like the ones with puppies on then so i guess dog food ads.
-
I honestly don’t remember much ads, they don’t really sink in. Although I do remember this one giant Westfield billboard ad because the lady in it was wearing some amazingly beautiful red shoes and I wanted them.
-
I can’t really remember any specific ones as my favourite but I like those ‘smart’ ones that make you go “wow that’s pretty cool!”
http://www.looks.gd/media/CreativeAdvertising_10.jpg
Just an example of one but that sort of requires effort with the extra props and whatnot (I assume you’re making one?). Obviously humour works well too so anything funny grabs my attention :).
-
I liked this print ad, pretty funny.
BTW, forgot to mention Jason Statham in SAFE. May 10.
It’s “An exhilarating action picture. The Stath in on top form” ★★★★ – Empire
-
*temporarily turns off AdBlock*
HOLY SHIZZ!
Now I know why everyone is complaining. It’s everywhere! Good thing most of the discussion is towards the middle/bottom of the page 😛
Still not as bad as Dick Smith’s yellow one though… *shiver*
-
I’m not complaining. Just poking fun at how much expore it’s getting here. I’m sure it will all blow over after May 10 when “The Stath” has made sure the girl is SAFE.
-
THE ADVERTISING IS WORKING I WANT TO SEE SAFE NOW. Not really but it could be funny to watch everyone take themselves way to seriously.
-
-
The yellow was horrendous
-
-
After May 10th when Jason Statham disappears from Kotaku forever I will be sad. No more Statham lovingly wrapped around TAY. 🙁
-
Until Safe 2: Safe Harder
-
Safe 3: For A Few Safes More
-
Safe 2 : Safe Crackers?
-
Safe 5 : Safe & Sound
-
Safe 6 : Safe as Houses
-
after typing the word ‘safe’ 6 times, I’ve realised what a stupid looking & sounding word it is.
-
wait, one more. Safe 7 : Safety Pins
-
-
-
Live Free and Die Safe
-
S4FE
All the cool titles have their numbers replacing a letter.
-
I expect you all to go to see Safe to make sure we get all these Safer sequels and more Statham wrapped around Kotaku! 😛
-
I WILL! Possibly twice to make sure everything is STILL Safe.
-
Woohoo! I knew I could count on you. ;P
My grandmother is reading the hobbit. SHe didn’t have anything to read last night so i suggested she start on of my books. I told her to pick the hobbit because it is pretty much the best Fantasy novel that was ever made. I left the house this morning and she was still reading it. I guess old people can suprise you.
-
Your grandma has great taste.
I hear that SHE HAS THE CODE and that HE IS THE KEY
You’ll have to go see the film to find out who HAS/IS THE LOCK and why they need both a key AND a code. (It’s obviously a security door of some kind).
-
Silly doc – it’s the CIA, duh!
I wonder if there is a second adversary who has/is the lockpick
-
Jill Valentine? She IS the master of unlocking you know.
-
she is also totes awesome!
-

-
Or a euphemism.
90mins of sweet love making between Statham and some girl, shot on sticks using Auto-Focus. No cuts.

ohhh you meant posts. Carry on then.

Probably Plunkett’s fault.
The formatting is always wrong in his articles.
It really brings the site’ s image down.

hello taybies and good morning!
What a weekend. Melbourne, Y U SO AMAZING FOR!
@Masha
read your post, will throw them up on Tales of Tay as soon as I can. Steve-o if you’re reading this feel free to beat me to it ;p
Thank you to everybody who tuned into the Shadowloo stream over the weekend. If you’re still interested in catching them the videos are saved and on the channels. I called a shoutout to the TAYbies so hopefully somebody out there heard it!! haha.
Here’s my first match in TTT2:U, I think second one didn’t make it on stream.
http://www.twitch.tv/shadowloohq2/b/317158671
-
Hey Harli!!! \o
Good to hear you had fun! Unfortunately I didn’t get to watch any games 🙁
I will watch the first match when I finish work though.
-
Hey Nobshot!!! how’s the LoL? Are u guys still playing? ESGN are hosting a tournament in July and LoL is on the game lineup. The taybies should totally put a team together and enter!
-
We’re far from that good. We need to work on coordination above anything else and I’m sure Nobshot agrees.
I certainly am trying to get better at LoL, being able to do any role is a milestone for me, next one is doing all the roles very well 😛
-
if anything u should just enter it for the experience. You can’t expect to enter your first tournament ever and win!
-
Well for one I haven’t got the mindset nor setup for ranked yet (Trying to accumulate 300 normal game wins to feel confident enough) and also my collection of champions and rune pages are FAR from finished yet. I still want to get more junglers, support and AD carry characters to master as well. I only got three junglers, three AD carries and two supports.
Also I’m having graphics card technical difficulties, mainly the game freezes at a random point in the game, screen goes black and goes back in like nothing happened, main issue is I cannot see nor issue any commands while this happens (Takes about 10 seconds) and that can cost me a death. I’m thinking of turning graphics elements down to see if that helps… which makes no darn sense for a GTX 580! :'(
-
-
-
Still playing LoL thanks for asking, although I think we lack the heart to compete on a competitive level. While it would cross off one of my wishes of competing in a tournament I just don’t think we (Kotaku peeps) have put in enough time/effort.
-
working full time and trying to keep in contact with overseas people doesn’t help me in practising :(, sorry Nobshot I’m trying, I want that to happen too!
-
-
I think we should!
-
HI HARLI!
How is the injury this week?
I heard your shoutout! I felt so involved!
-
HI CAKESMITH!
Getting better, but playing in the tournament with it was annoying. Button input was off /o\
Thanks for watching the stream! 😀
Hi Harli,
Thanks for the confirmation. How did the competition go? According to Tracy’s article at the Verge, the event was dominated by US and Japanese competitors. Also did you get to meet Tracy?
-
Here is Tracy’s article in case anyone was curious http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/5/6/3004042/shadowloo-showdown-results
-
Lucky that she isn’t here anymore, I’m raging at you for that… how could you mashaaaaaaa!? Where’s the “e”!?
-
I’m sorry Tech Knight, will you forgive me?
In my defence, my brain might be subconsciously protesting her departure by forgetting the e.
-
-
-
yup ran into Tracey and caught up for a bit! Was an excellent event, you could just walk around and bump into somebody familiar.
The results are pretty indicative of the dominating countries – Japan and US. Australia did manage to pull through some games though. 2 of the top 8 players in UMVC are Australian and SEVEN of the top 8 in Tekken are Australian – only 1 international made it through. KOFXIII, SFxT, Skullgirls and VF:5 all had a strong Aussie presence in top 8 which was also awesome. Overall we’re not quite there yet but are a force to be feared!
YAY!!! WELCOME BACK TEAM HARLI!!!!
I’m glad you enjoyed our sleepy little town 😀

Thanks Loops, sorry there wasn’t enough time to meat with you guys. ;(

Either TAY is again slow or my browser is screwing up again..
-
Yep… a flood of new posts after posting myself
-
strange how that happens, hey?
-
It would be nice to know what’s going on with that. Alas, we do not.
-
Well lots of beings hate me, I wonder if TAY is following suit by forcing me to post 😛
I’m sorry I’m trying to work!
-
Technically, TAY is digital.. so it’s one of your own that hates you 😛
-
Well even mechanical beings do not always see eye to eye, it’s just much less common when you compare to humans, and even then with humans, it’s for much less logical reasons entirely

Logitech is having a 50% “Mothers Day” sale thingie if anyone is interested. I picked up wireless F540 headset for $150 and a harmony (remote) receiver for the PS3 for $50.

-.- Terrible page get.

I wouldn’t call it terrible. It’s very informative.
Here, have a cookie and a silver star.

ohhh pretty

Hey if it was mine it would’ve been even more depressing 😛

You forgot the G27 for $195.

Are there any relatively cheap and good PC headsets? I really need to get in on the TS action 😀
Stupid question but these headsets are likely to only work on PC right? Any cheap universal PS3/Xbox/PC headsets out there?
Sorry for the stupid questions I don’t know much about them 😛
-
The Logitech F540 works on PS3 and XBOX 350, I assume it also works on PC too (well I hope it does :P)
-
I actually use the turtlebeach X11 (X12 now I think) and they are amazing About 70-80 bucks but totally worth it. I also use it with 360 as it also does 360 chat too… such a good investment (investment = I won them by beating batguy at a RAGE come)
-

-
-
(general reply)
I currently have the standard official PS3 and Xbox headsets but I rarely use them since I don’t play multiplayer that often. I’m not really willing to spend that much on something I’d rarely use.
Actually scratch that universal idea then :P. I’m in the market for a cheapo PC mic I can buy online. I’m Googling ways to use my iPhone for it anyway so maybe I don’t need one after all.

Can someone summarize the previous five pages? Too tired to catch up. 🙁

Generally Minecraft.

NO, DONT LOOK ON THE LAST PAGE!!!!!
but yeah, i repeat:

may i request a listing in the white? 😀

Done and done.

Oh man that PixelJunk sale…
I’ve wanted Eden for YEARS! It was the first PSN game I wanted but I gave up after a while. I think I still have $5 or so left so hopefully $1 means ~$1 for Australia (highly unlikely). But I always want Shooter so hopefully there’s enough monies in my PSN account 🙁
-
I like cheap games! 😀
-
Make a US account, it’s very easy and you can buy PSN Cards here: http://www.pcgamesupply.com/buygames/sony-playstation-network-cards/
There is an activation fee for every card you buy, but the savings are worth it. On the other hand if you have a credit card you can buy US PSN Cards from US stores like Best Buy and avoid the activation fee.
I’ll definitely be taking advantage of this sale. I think I have around $5 on my US account.
-
If you’ve got a credit card, don’t buy the cards from anyone who charges you an activation fee.
The best place for PSN point cards is Best Buy. They charge just what the card is worth, and email you the code within 24-48 hours.
-
Unfortunately I don’t have a credit card. 🙁

I posted this on Twitter on the weekend but it is so awesome I had to repost it here:
-
I am torn between amused and creeped out.

Would it help if I told you it was the singer from Alestorm just having a little fun? Well, actually, a whole album of fun…. 😛

If I was David Tennant, I still think I would be creeped out

Hahaha…good point.

I just missed TAY for 6 pages. This sucks,. On better news, Im flying out tomorrow. I’ll be sure to keep you all update on my progress as and when I can.
and for those who dont follow me on twitter, I had the best night ssaturday. My cousins 21st ( I remember changing her nappies when I was about 10!). In all her years, we’ve never had a drink. What was worse, my other cousin who is 29 was down from gold coast so it got a little crazy.
I am so GD busy at work today trying to get it all wrapped up before I leave, I only have time for a bullet point breakdown…
Venue, Cronulla Life saving club, Cronulla Beach NSW (Yeah, home of the Riots!!!)
Fancy dress – I dressed as a Bear (gay hairy, beard etc) dressed as a bear (Furry, animal, claws)
I had a fur suit along with a rainbow unbrella. Most people didnt get the gay side of the outfit.
I did a wee in a bush in a very public park near Cronulla station and used my umbrella as cover to hide behind (it’s bright rainbow remember ??)
I had to explain to my 89yo grandfather what a bear was..
I started on wine because it was free
Lets just say there were lots of 21yo girls dressed in skimpy animal costumes (Bunny, panda etc)
I had to avoid looking at any of them because I would forget what my cousins were wearing and didnt want to make that mistake!!!
After a few minutes, my cousin (29yo) and I decided that we needed alcohol
Did a Bottle-o run adn got a bottle of tequila (Jose’ Gold FTW)
We also stopped at Woolies and got lemon and salt. We decided to go with chicken salt but forgot to buy anything to cut the lemons.
I hid the 700ml bottle in the bear suit and security even patted me down (Bears get all the fun) He didnt find it!
My cousin was with my with a plastic bag full of lemons and salt and the security dude didn’;t think to ask what that was for haha.
Decided to hide the Tequila in the car, ended up taking more and more people to the back seet of my uncles car for tequila shots (swig from the bottle).
Now here is about where its gets a little messy. I stop remembering anything. The next scene is me waking up on the couch at my Aunties house. The remainder of this story has been pieced together from stories I heard the following morning:
I got very drunk
I was Dancing with many girls.
I had a fake bear penis that I was doing things with. At one point I do remember standing at a urinal next to other dudes with that out trying to keep a straight face 🙂
I told my aunty how much I loved my cousins and how awesome she is (this is all true BTW)
I sat at a table with a bunch of random people at a park nearby and hung out with them chatting.
I was sleeping under a tree in a park, and people decided I was a drop bear
I went to the sand and was wrestling on the sand.
I went into the water ( I can tell this because my DC’s were soaking wet and covered with sand.)
I also woke up with sand in my hair and ears!
I was opening my umbrella all night and kept hitting my head with it?
I also awaoke with a scratch on my forehead, I think it was from that but dont know?
I also have bloody sore shoulders, even now. Left one was swollen and I think it was a wrestling injury?
I think that was it… OH and I used a pillow to stuff my belly with to be a more cuddly bear and I lost that pillow. It was from a quilt set from home so that was not a good thing.
Lesson here ladies and Gents, it you want an awesome night, just take me with you and buy me tequilla. There is surely a lesson in here about responsible drinking and Ive said before my sister is an alcoholic so I know binge drinking is a serious issue, but I also think this was one of the best nights of my life and I really enjoyed it…
Just had to share that.
-
bahahahaha!!!
That really does sound like you had a heck load of fun!!! 😀Best of luck with the trip too, buddy! Can’t wait to hear of your overseas exploits!
-
Have a safe flight.
That sounds like a really fun party.
-
Legendary.
HAve an awesome time up North. Very jelly. -
Oh man that sounds epic haha
Have an awesome trip dude 🙂
why is the regulars section at the top of the front page never getting updated anymore?
-
Because Tracey left. :'(
I’m thinking of getting Diablo 3. I have never played Diablo 1/2. Convince me, TAY. Is Diablo 3 worth my limited time?
-
If you haven’t played 1/2, I’d say yes
-
I’d say just buy 1 and 2 😛
-
HAHA yeah if you had the option, get 1 and 2
-
Ehh, as Jo has said, you should buy torchlight and give it a to. Diablo has not aged very well, torchlight on the other hand is still playable.
-
Diablo I’ve always known it for being clunky with combat, with Torchlight it felt much more streamlined between combat and movement.
-
-
-
Probably not.
If you’ve got limited time already, you’re not going to get the full clicking experience of Diablo, because that needs a fair amount of time. -
Play Torchlight. If you like the gameplay but want something darker and newer get D3.
-
I think I have a copy of Torchlight on Steam. Should probably check it out…
-
That’s a brilliant option!
-
Very good option I enjoyed every bit of Torchlight 2, questing could’ve been a bit more diverse but combat was awesome!
-
I mean the first Torchlight… I’m really hyped for Torchlight 2 😛 KICK IN ALREADY COFFEE!
-
-
-
Depends what you’d be doing if you weren’t playing Diablo 3.
Honestly I never played D2 and only played a bit of the first game co-op with a friend at a LAN cafe once. It was fun but not that special.
Who wants to do a meat at my place?
Oh wait, I’m not near anyone. Carry on then.
-
You should do a skype/TS meat outside. Lonely?
-
But don’t click on Pez links (unless you want furry porn)
and don’t read Jordi fanficts (unless you want to picture Sully and Nathan getting it on)-
Dude you know Freeze was the person who gave me that fic.
-
😐
Ah actually, that’s expected of Freeze. GOATSEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
-
-
-
Batman just wants to have friends.
-
Freeze is Batman!?
-
-
I guess i’m no one then D=
-
YUM MEAT!
MELBOURNE PEOPLE SHOULD BE FREE FRIDAY NIGHT TO EAT STEAK.
Delicious meat.
-
What is this Madness!?!
-
What time and where?
-
So this friday? Sure thing! Same place?
-
You are the worst, holding it in the worst city to hold it in ever.
Even Perth! At least they’d have fancy 1950’s decor.-
And candlelit.
-
Is that because they used up all the electricity for the week?
-
-
-
Thinking 6/7pm ish at an appropriate steak place. F4ction has a rec at Footscray – http://www.thestationhotel.com.au/ . If anyone has a good city recommendation feel free to chime in. If you don’t mind classing it up we could do a crown meat (or Bistro Vue)
Also @Bish – we will eat one day!
-
http://themeatandwineco.com/locations/australia/victoria/southbank is an option I guess, depends how much people are okay with spending. Also I may be slightly biased here as it’s like 2 minutes walk away from my office and I’m lazy.
I can probably make it to the Station Hotel but I’d have to train there and back from Flinders St, so later would be better.
-
yeah more people are closer to CBD so I guess that might be better…
-
-
I imagine eating Bish would not be very good. He is mostly skin and bones. No meat on him.
I’ll show myself out.
-
When is this day going to eeeeeend!!!
Going to see Ross Noble tonight.
Up to the final mission in Mass Effect 3 (V ernyyl, ernyyl jnag gb chapu gur Vyyhfvir Zna va uvf sernxl-rlrq snpr)
So many things I want to do, but none of them are possible right now. I guess I have to distract myself with, pfft, work.
Every time I read a comment from Cheesus my faith in gamers dies a little.
-
Where is this person posting?
-
In the wild, unruly worls of articles that aren’t TAY.
-
Various articles.
-
-
I just got an internets from him…or her if he’s not messing with us.
-
Oh god I hope it’s not a her. The only way I can cope is by going “boys” and rolling my eyes at all the disturbingly negative commenters. 😛
-
there is no way that he’s a she.
-
Yeah, I think he’s just messing with us. Just like me! Only more evil 😛
-
-
-
-
he is such a complete and utter dick.. but the more people reply to him, the more he comments…
-
(in their voice)
WHY MUST U ASSUME IM A MAN HUH, HUH UHU HU HUH UH UH?
I LOVE PENIS
-
-
What I got from skimming some of the comments in that MMO post
“whine whine whine I don’t like this article, Kotaku AUS should be free from shitty articles because I said so whine whine”
He/she does realise that no one is forcing them to read the articles… right?
-
I’m just having fun with him/her/it now 😀
-
I think that’s the best way, to be honest.
Better to make snide comments and amuse yourself than to get grey hairs trying to punch people through the internet.Also, the part where they say they would sex up Andrew Bolt?
Best.-
I think it is time to pull out Richard Cranium.
-
Punching people through the internet. Now that sounds fun!
Cheesus sounds like an 17 year old with mummy issues and hasnt realised that we dont care about them.
-

I’ve posted this before but I don’t care!

Sooooooo goooooooood
Afternoon all.
Semi busy day today. Half of the staff our out visitng clients, so turned the radio off and have sat here in blissful silence. (other than the clacking of keyboards and whirring computer psus)
Can anyone comment on how badly cold effects computers (not condensation just cold).
Setting up some gear in the garage for the weekend but wondering if i should hold off till the last moment as it does get very cold in there, and dont want any of my electronics getting upset at me.
I love Skyrim, I really do, but I’m so sick of it crashing on loading screens. Yesterday it happened three times in the space of a couple of hours while doing the Dark Brotherhood questline. I never had it happen this often before the patch, but maybe I’m just unlucky.
I’ve also started another character on Skyrim. His name is Trent, and he’s a melee only Khajiit. Get it? His name’s Trent, and he’s a bit punchy. *snrrk* I’m doing a themed character for the first time, with a mild bit of roleplaying.
Trent is a a nihilist alcoholic kleptomaniac. He cares nothing for the death of others, and kills without warning. Because of a traumatic event when he was a young Khajiitten, he is obsessed with skulls. He feels compelled to collect skulls and surround himself with them. He likes to sleep amongst them. He will also consume any and all alcohol he can get his hands on, and it doesn’t matter if he has to kill people to get to it.
Thanks to the traumatic event during his early life, Trent will never touch a weapon. Why use a sword, when you can flense your enemies with the natural claws on the ends of your own hands? He does dabble in a bit of magic, but much prefers to beat his enemies senseless with his fists.
The last thing Trent did was punch a dragon in the mouth until it was dead.
-
Haha I love the backstory! Do you find it makes it more interesting/fun to play? I got massively bored with Skyrim after I joined any faction that would have me. I had completely no idea who my character was. I think I need to start over again with a bitchin’ backstory.
-
Steve – Professional Cart-rider
Was not actually involved in the Imperial’s raid on the Stormcloaks as discussed at the start of the game. Just wanted to hop on the cart and ride it wherever it went.
Now go, go and play!
-
Definitely makes it more interesting to play.
Try and think about why you lost interest the first time. Think about what you could do to make it more interesting. From what you talk about on Twitter, you talk about a lot of archaeological stuff. Well there’s plenty of ruins in Skyrim. Plenty of lore to be tracked down, too.
Me, I wanted to play the game unconventially. I wanted to make a melee character, because there’s only really one perk for melee characters, and that’s in the heavy armor tree. I wanted to see how I could make him level up without one-handed/two-handed/archery and block skills.

Mine is a giant wimp. She runs away from everything. And then throws everyone in the line of enemy fire.
Am I the only person who really wants a reboot of the Primal Rage series?
Chances are the answer is ‘yes’, but still…
-
…I had to google it.
-
and now you know what it is, you really want a reboot, right?
…right?
-
Oh, for sure!

KILLER INSTINCT PZ!

I knew there was a reason why I liked you.
We’ll take them all on.
Love,
Masha.-
At least tell me you weirdos think 2 is better than 3 😛
-
But still not as good as 1.
-
Sorry Greenius weirdos is not politically correct. The preferred term is ‘awesome dudes’
I haven’t played uncharted 3 yet, so I can’t make any judgements.
-
-
-
You’d still be wrong.
My planned attempts to humor Cheesus with Richard Cranium were foiled by work getting in my way.
-
Ladies, Gentlemen, Cheesus, I think from this way may deduce that one of Cakesmith’s alter egos is “Richard Cranium”.
You may now all proceed to call me Batman, world’s greatest detective.-
Richard Cranium was never a secret one 😛
Also BISH IS BATMAN!
-
So Geralt got drunk in Flotsam last night and woke up on the shore of the harbour in his undies.
The dude who lent me Witcher 2 has finished it multiple times and has never had this happen.
Dear video games, copy what Witcher does with it’s story please.
-
Did he end up with a tattoo as well? Because that can happen. And it’s permanent and can’t be undone, like a real one.
-
Yeah man!
A classy neck tattoo.

LOOOOOL

I’m still waiting on Roshambo: The Videogame.
Then we shall have the best fighting game of all time.
Well, I actually can’t believe my TABTOL ranking for last week… how did I post so many comments?
At any rate, it’s not something that’s likely to be repeated this week.. 🙁
Also, what’s up, TAYbies? 🙂
-
You were posting like a crazy guy at night.
I want to know if this happens to anyone else. I think I have some kind of performance anxiety.
So yesterday I was playing TERA. I’m playing with a priest, which I had basically picked at random from the classes, tried out and decided I kind of liked. Hit 27, and the storyline quests take you to a 5-man dungeon which you need to complete to advance the main story in the area. Which IMO sucks, so I complain as much to some friends who also play.
The priest is apparently the best class for healing instances, and with the group finder I’d apparently be able to get myself a full group in seconds. So I was asked, why bother playing a healer class if you don’t want to heal? And I didn’t really have an answer. I haven’t done it before and don’t know how, basically. There’s no way you can sort of ease your way in, it’s straight into the deep end, and I don’t want to screw up. 🙁 Thinking back, I had kind of the same problem playing other MMOs as well. I used to be a really capable tank, for example, but I would queue as DPS. And then sit there silently screaming while the terrible PuG tank screwed around, but only rarely step in and do it myself. But it’s not because I’m lazy, it’s like… don’t want to deal with the pressure and the expectations I guess?
So in the end I re-rolled to a DPS class last night rather than continue.
-
End game I always play DPS in PvE.
From a WoW perspective:
Leveling or PvP I’m more than happy to play the tank or healer. I guess to me it’s a mentality of if we fail this and I’m heals or tank, chances are the blame will rest on me. My experience in leveling the characters shows I’m a more than capable tank and healer but I don’t want to let anyone down. Hell, even if something were to happen and it’s not my fault I’d probably apologise.I do it in the real world. Walking down the street, move out of the way of someones path while they don’t step aside at all, I will still apologise for being in their path.
Having said that, throw my priest into a battleground and I will heal the shit out of it. And I LOVE it.
-
I think the trick is to play a game with so many flashing colours that you can easily make an excuse for not having reflexes and clutch-healing someone with something like “But… I did heal you. DIdn’t you see the green-white-red explosions”?
Wait, page six has lasted over 4 hours so far.
Must be some sort of record for modern TAY.
-
Knew that would happen, was guaranteed.
-
We did 7 pages on Monday alone last week. This has been a slow TAY week.
-
-
Well played!
Hey ladies and gents. What’s the happity happs playaz.
-
Yeeeah Boooooooiiiiiiiii!
Next Sydney meat – http://www.braza.com.au/Braza-dh
Their commercial says that it is “The place to meat”. I can’t see how we can go anywhere else now.
-
I’m ordering the chicken hearts when we go.
DIIIIIVVVVEEEEE KKKIIICCCCCKKK!!!!!!!
-
ARE U TEAM DIVE OR TEAM KICK?
-
TEAM DIVE KICK!
*dive kicks Harli*ONE BILLION DAMAGE!!!!!!
-
-
FOO-FOOT DIVE!
@Harli,
I’ve filled in Phil’s survey and sent him my responses. Hope it helped.
-
I like to call him “Mr Harli”.
-
Pharli?
-
Mr Harli sounds like a kid’s version of a Harley Davidson bike.
-
I am now imagining an anthropomorphised motorcycle.
I’m sure someone in Japan has already drawn this too. 🙁
-
I’m now thinking that Harli is going out with a Harley transformer 😛
-
that would pretty cool!
-
-
-
thank you so much masha. you’re awesome and don’t let anybody let you think otherwise.
-
Your welcome.
-
…
MASHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Someone had to say it 😛
-
Hi TAY.
Have I missed much today?
-
Nope.
-
Well, that’s not very crazy. I am so disappoint right now.
-
Lack of sleep affects how crazy I am….
-
-
I posted this on facebook last night, but for those that didn’t see it, or don’t have fb, check it out!
Speed painting! He’s done a whole series of speedpaint vids. If you’re at all interested in how awesome art is created, give it a look see!
@NegZer (it’s your new cool name) (Also Dan)
In regards to your comment on the last page, you can remove the Tattoo you get. It just requires magic. Sweet, glorious, overpowered, magic. Though the quest to do it is a little bugged, it still works.
-
So just like in real life then.
-
Exactly like real life.

(Shameless promotion)
So my brother’s decided to get into animation in an attempt to eventually get a job out of it or something. He’s working on a parody of the saddle club called the saddle crew. Basically they pick up a homeless girl who has an anorexic horse that dies after eating KFC. He shoved a preview up on youtube and it’d be pretty awesome of anyone to watch it (there’s no ads), mainly just to build up views in anticipation for the full thing. (The preview is only 18 seconds but the full thing is about 10 minutes long)
So check it out 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTH4j6aQhbo
-
Wait, the horse is fed KFC?
-
Isn’t that cannibalism?
-
You’re implying that KFC’s chicken is actually horse meat?
So what does KFC really mean-
Kentucky Foal cutlets?
Kentucky fried Colts?
-
I’ve eaten horse.
Nothing like chicken.
-
Yeah, very hard to confuse the two.
-
Oh Flu.
What exotic creature are you going to eat next?
-
A flamingo.
-
-
-
Rotten cayan grill I think was fed to the horse. It gives the horse a neck tumor and it dies from that.
It’s the most juvenile story you’ll ever come across but its f***ing hilarious
The new PSN indie game, Datura, looked really interesting and it’s unfortunate that it wasn’t as promising as the initial trailers http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/datura/critic-reviews
At the same time, I’m kind of happy that the critics were able to remove their ‘indie’ blinkers and criticise the game’s poor controls and mechanical failings. The critics could have easily claimed that the poor controls were there as a way to subvert expectations or some other needlessly wordy reason.
As a consumer it is sometimes really hard to gauge an ‘artsy’ game’s possible flaws when most indie game reviews are filled with flowery language which rarely provides reasons why the game might not appeal to some.
I hope the developers can learn from their mistakes and hopefully their next game is better.
TAYNAMES just got a Minecraft column. If you put your username in that column I will whitelist you for the TAY server.
Also made a Raptr column because I know a few of us use it.
-
Don’t know why I bother filling these out anymore, it’s always the same name. xD I should just merge all my columns into one.
-
But it’s not!
Powalen and Powalen_ are different!
Also 3DS has numbers so that’s hard to guess 😛
-
-
Added myself, both raptr and minecraft. Haven’t touched minecraft in years though.
For those of us going to Pez’s house warming party I think it would be a great idea if we all took some photos that looked like the stock photos that are used in most gaming ads.
-
-
Sometimes stock photos are really ridiculous, but that’s why they’re funny.
-
Perhaps we could add to this craze:
http://thefrogman.me/post/14997854769/adding-my-contribution-
IT’S JUST SO DELICIOUS. I CAN’T KEEP IT OUT OF MY MOUTH.
I’m not going to add any context to this.
-
I feel like I should add something to Batgirl’s reply…hmmm.
Good Masha: Don’t do it you’re too classy.
Evil Masha: Classy my ass, don’t be silly just do it.
BOOM, THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!
Evil Masha: Was that so hard?
Good Masha: I guess it wasn’t. But does ‘that’s what she said’ work when addressing a girl?
Evil Masha: I don’t know. All I know is that sexual innuendo is an equal opportunity advocate.
-
*beautiful singing*
The… the… song with the blankets! That’s the one!
*beautiful singing continues*
-
Lololol it’s so funny how she just interrupts
-
I was drunk, I cannot by held responsible.
-
-
-
That .gif ahahahaha
BEST IDEA EVER!
-
Ha, pictures of guys biting controllers would be pretty good. Not very hygienic though.
Thanks for the lift to Pez’s house warming Nova :D!
-
I think Nova might need a bigger car, what with all the lifts he’s giving people.
I think if TAY ever rents a bus it will be christened the NOVA BUS in his honour.
-
I wonder if Nova drives a Chevy Nova =P
-
Why not do this for Pez’s Road trip Meat in December(?). Hire a mini bus so everyone can ride together? I’ll even drive. You can drive them on a car license right?
-
This would be the best thing ever.
-
You’d still have to make your own way to Sydney though
-
But it’s a road trip! When you drop by Melbourne I can join in the festivities!
But then I’d have to make my way into Melbourne…
-
-
-
Pez has mentioned on twitter that it’s cancelled as
he is shitnoone is going and money needed is rather high.Just what I’ve heard.
-
Oh that would be a shame.
-
Oh Freeze wasn’t trolling 🙁
:'(
@Batguy re: Ross Noble
Ross is hilarious. I saw him live once. Very funny. My parents are from the same place as him.
-
The thing I love about Ross Noble is he is clearly just winging it. Most comedians have a set routine.
Ross though! When he came to my town our cinema had just burnt down so very few of us had seen Avatar so he want on to explain it in incredible detail.
According to Ross Noble, the 3D effect is the same as shaving a cat, painting it blue, strapping it to your crotch and then pelvic thrusting at random people.
Have not laughed so hard in a long time.
-
My favourite part of comedians in Canberra is when they pay it out well. I’ve seen bits of some bits, and sometimes they’ll have a prepared joke or two, but when you seem them making good jokes at our expense, it’s glorious.
-
BACK STORY:
My town has a hill on it. On these hills are old school canons and artillery guns for display called Canon Hill.
In my area there is a town called Colac which is known as the bogan town. The town where if you stop for 30secs your car tires would be stolen with you still in the car.Funny joke a comedian told once:
*talking about Australia being invaded*
Man you guys are safe here. I was up around Canon Hill this afternoon. You guys are SET! Anyone tried to invade here they would see that and think “fuck this! Let’s go bomb Colac….oh, someone bet us to it”And then I found $10.
-
-
He is genuinely funny rather than the forced humour of some comedians. But of course he is – he’s a Geordie!
-
I’m sorry if I offended anyone in the cosplay world record attempt thread. I didn’t mean to.
I was just joking.
Also I tried to send Mark the photos but my email refused
-
It’s okay scree, the internet feels weird sometimes because all the things people say can be interpreted differently. You are still lovely and everybody loves you! *sending good thoughts*
-
This =D
-
I just felt terrible because Strange made me realise how mean it sounded. It wasn’t my intention though. Someone had already posted it was Talk amongst yourselves thread. I would apologise to the person I may have offended most but I have no idea how.
Thank you Jordi.-
I think your response was understandable and not intentionally cruel to the commenter. Especially since a lot of us are from different generations, some of us feel comfortable ignoring or saying things a little more flippantly than others. Like I said, the written word is always open ended and open to interpretation 🙂
Everyone knows Strange is a sweet TAY mommy and likes everyone to enjoy themselves!
-
My psychologist says it’s because I’m comfortable on this site that I will joke and not realise that this person doesn’t actually know me, so they may not realise it’s a joke.
Yes, Strange is very good at reeling us in, but I always feel really bad/guilty when she tells me i did something wrong.
-
-
-
@Harli Melbourne IS awesome and yes you should come back and see us you busy person you.
-
I’m really disappointed i didnt get to meet any of the Melb taybies. but dw, i definitely plan on going back for a holiday or something where i don’t need to work around the clock!
Oh hai Mists of Pandaria beta goodbye life, oh wait who am I joking..
I used to have long hair like the little girl in the Safe ad…
-
So did I. And it used to be blonde and curly and awful.
-
Oh man, with hair ties I could almost turn my hair into that.
Okay, not really, my hair is way too wavy for that.
-
I’ll straighten your hair for you?
-
I’ll be honest, I think my hair is a little short. Need another few centimetres. Though thanks for the offer.
-
I’d like to see a pic of this hair you consider “short” 😛
Last time it was brought up you said it was considerably longer than it was in that Friday video. To me that’s already pretty long
-
I’ve got access to a camera, and I owe Hugo a video, even if he did just go overseas, so we’ll see.
-
Do you just leave your hair or do you tie it up? 😛
-
Leave it.
-
-
-
I imagined you would have hair like Lord Zefron?
-
My hair is considerably longer than Lord Zefron’s, and a lot thicker. Maybe I should change that…
-
I’m curious to compare our hair length Blaghs. Mine is deceptively long.
-
Come to the Can’d Meat, and then we can straighten our hair, and compare it. 😛
-
Yeah you should drive there and give me a lift 😀
-
I had the best hair as a kid. It was wavy and shiny.
-
Man my hair was awful. It was thick and wavy and always in knots. I was in a hair salon until closing time because they had to brush the awful knots in my hair. They said it was close to dreads lawl.
-
I remember I went two weeks without brushing my hair. I broke 3 combs 😛
Never did that again.
-
I’m cursed with Hermione hair.. 🙁
-
That reminds me. I need a haircut.
-
Same…
So, that budget, hey? I imagine it’s full of fiscal policy, and money, and…
Bollocks to this. VIDJA GAEMS!
-
Swan should just give all the money to me.
I’m totally all about responsible fiscal policy & 100% trustworthy.-
No give it to me. Games for everyone \o/
-
Buy a lotto ticket for that $70 million thing :D. Xenoblade for everyone!
-
Already have =P
-
I don’t need $70m. 1 or 2 would be more than enough
-
-
-
whoa, so anarchy reigns hasn’t really been on my radar at all lately, but this latest trailer has got me interested…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpoBU_MbX5c&feature=g-u-u
(the video says it’s called “max anarchy”, but i believe that’s the japanese name)
-
Cheers 😀
I’ve been watching the trailers for each character’s announcement but I haven’t seen anything new lately. Not really into the whole brawler genre but Platinum Games <3
-
yeah, this game appears to be pulling off being a multiplayer brawler, this seems much more interesting than god of war ascensions multiplayer
-
The badass caterpillar for the day is:

It’s only badass until it gets eaten by the Montica Gularis:

If you scroll down a bit, I’ll think you’ll find the badass caterpillar for the day is actually the Jewel Catapillar.
The Owl Moth Catapillar can be tomorrow’s. 😛-
No lambo I make my own rules!
I saw that then Googled it and the owl one came up too. It’s clearly more badass.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NUMBERS

For those of you who wanted to see our Minecraft stuff with a different texture pack: HERE YOU GO. My texture is called Pure BD Craft. As you can see, I tend to prefer cartoony graphics. 😛
(Had to use Dropbox because Imgur is being stupid 😛 Hopefully it works alright)
-
I like that the TAYbar looks like its sticking out of the top of the House of a Thousand Pantses.
Will be on later tonight to check out how Blaghman’s place is going.
-
I probably won’t be on for the rest of tonight, and that one’s up to date.
-
I won lotto!
Division 7 baby!
-
So that’s like what, 10 bucks?
-
Basically the price of the ticket back.
It’s like I never entered.
Woah.avi
-
-
Can you give me the numbers?
-
17 8 28 34 41 42 6
Supps 4 19
-
Got nothing, at all.
-
-
-
So how much money was that? 😛
Does this seem good enough to you guys and gals?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/luckydogofdeath/prototype.jpg
-
HA! Love it.
-
So the fact that I didn’t draw Serrels is okay?
-
Completely. Actually adds to it a bit.
-
I worked so hard on the Castle and the IRN BRU 6 pack and was so lazy with the other stuff
-
-
-
The minecraft server does not appear to be letting me in 🙁
-
Y U NO WORK 🙁
-
It’s not working for me either. Keep getting kicked. 😛
-
java something error? 😛
-
-
If I ordered some gear from OGS weekend before last what are the chances of it arriving this week?
-
Normally I’d expect it by the end of the week but they’ve taken twice that long for me at times, and sometimes they take less time. Royal Mail seems to be very random.
http://i.imgur.com/jRvmn.jpg Acquisitions for the month.
I need to stop buying these but I can’t. 🙁
-
I used to have no issue with those things until the internet introduced me to what some people do to them.
*eyes off NegativeZero warily*
-
HAHAHAHA, oh god I wish I had never ventured into that Gizmodo article and clicked those links…
-
You actually clicked them?
… WHY VIRUS__? Whyyyyyyy!?
I also just noticed that the _ is separated in your name D:
-
Curiosity.. It gets the better of me.
Whats this about separation with my underscores? It looks fine in Firefox =P
-
-
You clicked the links? =0
Even I wasn’t that game and I go searching for Jordi’s slash fics for her.
-
Yeah I did, no idea why I did though =/
-
-
-
I definitely don’t do that. That shit’s just weird.
-
-
Heh, more to add to the giant stack of unopened figurines! (unless you intentionally leave them unopened)
Hopefully it isn’t too expensive of a habit 😛
-
One of these (presumably the Sayaka one, since it’s the earliest numbered) is my 100th nendoroid-scale figure. And over 75 of them are still boxed. 🙁
-
-
Not gunna lie – they’re kinda creepy lol
Not sure if I should give Serrels the picture now or on Saturday.
-
Well, I’d imagine Sunday would be the best, given that that’s his actual birthday. 😛
-
I’m thinking Friday with the Kudos noms
-
Just don’t forget 😛
-
PS Your picture of Mark’s castle is amazing
-
Thank you. I wasn’t sure if it’d be good enough.
-
Don’t worry scree, it’s good enough 😀
-
Thanks. You know how I worry about everything
-
-
-
I just finished mine too! 😀 I’ll probably send mine in with the Kudos noms as well. Seems like the best way to go about it.
-
\o/
So I can finally play Saints Row 2, and boy for a game that came out in 2009, it surely feels clunky =/
But I did find I could make my character look like this which was amusing.
-
SR2 amused me for a little bit, but I got easily distracted by something else at the time and never got round to finishing it.
And I’ve only played about 30mins of SR3…
So…
Thinking about playing in a LoL tournament a bit later this year.
Who else would be interested? We’d obviously have to practice a lot but I think it could be fun.
(I have no expectation of winning btw)
-
if you’re lacking a player i would totally sub in 😀 also i’m terrible at LoL
but either way i’d probably be there to watch the event so YES you should do it. Freyr should be captain because she’s proactive and plays an excellent carry.
-
You might not have the timing down for LoL, but your map awareness is still miles ahead of ours. As such you’re a good choice for Ashe, Gangplank, Shen, Ezreal, and anyone else who has a global ulti.
-
-
If I played LoL or could even pick up these style games with ease i’d be interested.
-
After my short experience with LoL I couldn’t lrn2ply and wnt bak to barby.
(The player base was so terrible I lost interest.)
-
Which is a shame as it seemed like a genuinely fun game.
-
-
I’m definitely interested in doing this.
-
Count me in.
We will need a bit of practice though and probably will need to decide what roles (in the meta) we want to play in.
-
All lanes are kill lanes! Fuck the meta!
-
HAHAHA!!!
-
-
Holy crap. I may get to do this while I’m in Iceland. I could be inside a volcano (dormant of course). God I cannot wait until June.
-
That would be awesome!
You have to do it!Dooooo eeeetttttt !!!!!
-
I can go to a dormant volcano right now if I wanted. It’s 10mins drive from my house.
It is however, nowhere near as good as that. It’s just a hole in the ground.
-
I think I’ve been there lol
-
-
Wow that looks crazy awesome 😀
-
Gelatinous
Oh man, Slash posted the title track from his new album. Awesome. Myles sounds awesome, reminds me a little of The Mayfield Four the way he is singing. I am excited for this.
The start of Silent Hill Downpour is making me want another Suffering game.
-
The suffering was pretty cool. That reminds me, I have to finish it.
It’s getting late… I should get to bed.

BED IS FOR THE WEAK!*

Bugger.
I have a 4 hour mandatory training course for Microsoft Office 2012.
Oh well, guess I’ll see you guys after my 4 hour sleep.
-
“See this thing? It’s called the ribbon. Everything you used to use has been put on here in really inconvenient locations that will take ages to get used to. Click around for a few hours.”
I should run these training courses.
-
I tried to get out of the course because I’ve used office 2010 for a few years. But no apparently my ribbon skills aren’t good enough.
-
Hey guys!
I need some advice!
Yen was very kind to help me out last night on twitter re: Vita memory cards. But i’m kinda methodical when it comes to expenditure on things like that and want to ensure i’m getting what is best for what i need.
So basically some commissions for the tees i’ve sold have come in, which means i finally have neough to pick up a Vita memory card – i was originally going to get the 32 Gig model from OGS for $92, but i’m starting to wonder if that will be a waste.
As most of you know, i’m one of those people who like things that come in shiny packaging, meaning i like to buy most of my games at retail so i can have shiny boxes and books. I just like the physical presence and liquidity.
Therfore i won’t be downloading games i can get at retail from PSN, especially considereing there isn’t a huge price difference – nor will i really be downloading many PSP games, as i have a PSP for that.
I will, however, be downloading the other titles that don’t get released phsyically.
So with that in mind, should i get the 32gig card, or should i just go the 16gig card which is $40 cheaper???
Thanks guys – and thanks again to yen for your advice last night 🙂
-
I am like you and prefer things in packaging so I can sit them on my shelf and look at how pretty they all are. I would still go the larger card though. There’s a push by Sony towards digital with the Vita so I would think the larger card would be a safer option. It will cost you more in the long run if you run out of space and have to buy another card.
-
i got a 16gb card, as over 100 dollars for a memory card is rediculous.
but i will get retail vita games, but depending on how much space PSP games are, i’d probably have a few. and i wont be playing all of them, so i plan to maybe having to delete and redownload some when i want to play them.
but really all the PSP games i wanna get on it are dissidia and final fantasy IV complete, maybe persona 3 if it gets marked down (50 dollars for an old PSP game? NO WAY)
Morning TAY!
Pumped full of drugs and completely disorganised for the work to be done today! \o/
Quick question: how many people are going to be jumping in Diablo 3 in the first week of release?
-
Wait… have you loaded up on drugs because of Diablo 3?
-
You can bet that I’ll try. Can’t guarantee success though. No idea if my laptop will be able to run the game and I doubt my PC will be back in commission in time.
Hi all, back at work, so TAY posting will return to normal!
I’ve been playing inFamous (late to the game, I know), and I’m in two minds about it. Obviously, it doesn’t compare to Demon’s Souls, but I find it interesting that people compare it to Prototype, when it feels far more like Crackdown to me (though admittedly, the story is almost identical to Prototype so far). Just finishing off the second island, kind of wish I was done with it. Might persevere to the end; might not. My score: 9.95/10
-
Another game in my pile of shame!
-
I hate how the enemies are so accurate and can hit you from hundreds of metres away 🙁
I nearly rage quitted and never played it again but decided to just lower the difficulty from the default to easy for the rest of the game. This was probably the first game that I’ve ever done that in but I’m glad I pushed through and forced myself to beat it. The ending was good enough that it made the whole experience better 🙂
I think it was only compared to Prototype because both are open world super hero action-adventures that came out really close to each other.
I should probably get around to playing inFamous 2 😛
LATE TO THE PARTY:
Mass Effect 3 is pretty damn good.
-
LATE TO THE PARTY:
Still need to play my copy of ME2…Fething uni…
-
LATE TO THE PARTY:
I haven’t played Mass Effect.
-
-
Just be ready to smith many an angry cupcake.
-
I doubt it could be worse than the ending for Final Fantasy XIII-2 and I’m not exactly going to start an uproar to get that changed.
-
That is my feelings as well. Unless it’s the exact same ending as FFXIII-2…although hmmm….maybe I’d like that. 😛
-
Haha!
By the way Strange, you went and got all the fragments didn’t you? Worth is? Or just look it up on Youtube?
-
Last time I asked she said it wasn’t really worth it because it didn’t add much to the story (or something along those lines).
I should probably watch it on YouTube as well 😛
-
I did. I found it worth it because I was still having fun with the game. If you’re over it or wasn’t having a great deal of fun I’d say just look it up on YouTube. Unless you want to get all the trophies/achievements.
-
Hmmm, I hold off then and go back to it once I’ve knocked a few more games off my pile of shame.
-
Might hold off*
Someone get me a coffee!
-
-
-
It wasn’t that bad, I just think the world needs more cupcakes.
I know all the cupcake places, Cakemang.
Message me if you need help.
I know! I was worried about it due to me not loving the second game as much as the first, not to mention the whole ending furore but I am loving every little second of my time with the third game. Just all the little details and the little nods to the previous games like characters reminiscing about the Mako, and the shooty parts seem slightly less set-piecey than ME2’s and flow more with the game.
I’m having loads of fun and don’t care if the ending isn’t satisfying because the game itself is satisfying.

I did the mission last night where you have to help a Krogan scout unit.

I did and thought the exact same things! I even almost ragequit mid-cutscene because I thought I’d messed up. 😛

@Freyr
Sounds awesome, if you want me to feed play.I’d have to have details early so I could organise transport to Sydney though (I’m guessing that’s where the tournament will be based).
-
I’m sure once I move out I’ll have more freedom to travel and train in LoL as well. I know for a fact I won’t stop playing it anytime soon.
I’ll be $470 poorer by the end of the day 🙁 Stupid car. Luckily I have some savings…
On the plus side, I have the day off. \o/ (Even though I have to do assignments :P)
Possible Zelda T-shirt design in the works.
-
When it’s done my daughter will love me forever if I buy it for her. 😀
-
When it’s done, you can have the original sketch for her 🙂
-
Oh wow. She’d be over the moon. You’d be her new hero.
-
-
-
That will be all sorts of awesome if you get the coloring right 🙂
Very VERY nice work, mate 😀-
If I get the colouring right?
-
Yeah – you know wit how things end up on redbubble. lol
I mean the right shades for the right tee sort of thing – i don’t mean you’re going to make him bright orange 😛Either way i’m sure you’ll sell bucket loads of the little chap! 😀
-
-
I’m a little sad today, as a friend from uni that i convinced to come on over to Kotaku due to the great community is leaving now due to the massive amounts of trolls on some of the articles outside of TAY.
Sooooo lame that they are ruining it for so many people…
-
Just tell him to avoid all comments sections except TAYs.. simple
-
I’m sorry /o\ I was mean yesterday but it wasn’t my intention
-
it’s not you Scree. Chill 🙂
-
I’m still sorry. /o\
Yeah, unfortunately the trolls are pretty bad. It’s easier to just ignore them
-
-
-
Can i be honest. Kotaku’s articles are getting bad for the comments sections. I find it hard to read Articles, because i want to contribute to the comments, and the discussion, but it always ends up in to a “nerdier than thou” fight.
Almost makes reading the articles pointless. Which is a shame, as there are some real gems on this site, but sadly there is also a lot of bad things that come from other nations portals of this site, that do make the rage that much higher amongst the community.
-
Funny thing that. Kotaku AU has the good articles, Kotaku US has the good commenters. 🙁
-
They have the “good”commenters because they’re ruthless about deleting accounts and posts. They’ll delete people for even questioning them in an intelligent way.
-
So the KotakuUS decrees, you do not exist because they demand it! 😛
-
See intelligent arguments are good, differing opinions and ideas is what makes a community good. But when you get people who voice utter hatred and disdain for other peoples interests its just, upsetting.
We know that some of the articles that come out are bad. But you just ignore them.
I guess the 2 things turning me away from articles is 1) copy paste articles with no content or really incorrect/inappropriate information 2) people who see an article about something they hate and feel the need to vent their vitriol to the masses, and call everyone who does like that topic names. 3) trolls.
These things are increasing in quantity by large amounts lately.
-
-
-
Solution:
Read interesting article, discuss it on TAY 😀
I find it hard to comment on articles not only because of the trolls and whatnot but I also have to keep that tab open and refresh it throughout the day to see and reply to comments 😛
Morning.
This cold has turned my nose into a tap.
-
Tighten the valve… oh wait you’re human… sorry I’m not helping!
-
My solution is don’t go into the cold air
-
You could stuff a tissue in each nose!
-
It’s look bad on the street =P
-
So does a leaky nostril. 😛
-
-
That only is ever good at home, went through half a tissue box last time too. Good thing is I don’t get sick often at all
-
I do have a cold, but even when I don’t cold weather makes my nose run
-
I always get that problem when going into trains on a cold morning or vice versa. I carry tissues in my bag every morning and afternoon cuz of it.
-
-
-
Tissue walrus?
Morning TAY,. EPIC headache today. And to top it off, we have the loudest staff member in the company down from sydney for the day, and she has only one talking volume. LOUD NOISES!
Help me TAY!
-
Noise cancelling headphones. Invest wisely.
-
Best investment I ever done
-
Sadly, the boss tells me off for using headphones, as being technically in a call centre, i need to be able to hear stuff.
This also adds to my stress when i have to listen to crappy radio music all day. I am a freaking metal head. I dont want to hear nicki minage 10 times a day.
-
I think it’s about time that I started to formalise my plans for my Meaty Meat Meat of Meatiness!
For those that are interested, it’s going to be over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend (June 9-11). Saturday shall be a day of people awkwardly gathering about until night time where those out of town folks can see just how tiny the Mana Bar is.
Sunday will be a feast of meat at my place, with plenty of opportunity for whatever the hell we can get away with.
Monday will be the touristy day. Showing off all three of Brisbane’s interesting areas and seeing just how dead this town can be when everything is closed for a public holiday (or weekend, or weekday after 5pm).
-
Brisbane has three interesting areas? Mr. Strange lied, he said there were none, when I moved here. 😛
-
I might have exaggerated about the amount of interesting areas in this city.
-
For those of you who have a US PSN account, I hope you remember to take advantage of the Q games’ sale.
You can get Pixeljunk racers, pixeljunk monsters, pixeljunk shooter and pixeljunk eden for a $1 each. That’s $4, less than half the price of one of the games on their own.
Also if you want to save even more just buy the Pixeljunk bundle which comes with pixeljunk monsters and Eden and you get Racers 2nd lap(the better version of pixeljunk racers) for free. The bundle is only $2.
This way you can buy the bundle and Pixeljunk shooter for $3, saving yourself $1.
-
Any idea on the AUS price? 😛
-
Oh and is Eden just Eden? Or that pack with the extra levels (Encore I believe)?
-
Greenius, the sale is US only for the time being. Also it’s just the base games that are on sale .
Pixeljunk monsters encore was for the PSP, the PS3 DLC is still $5.99.
The Pixeljunk eden encore add on is still $5.99 as well.
-
-
-
Is this sale on the AU store? I just logged on to have a look and the games are still ~$12.
I did find some free SFxT DLC while I was there though, so there’s that (a lot more paid DLC though…)
-
The developers said that they were going to talk to Sony Europe to try and organise a similar sale. Keep an eye on the European Playstation Blog for any details. The sale is on for two weeks so you don’t need to rush.
-
Also, the EU PSN doesn’t update till tomorrow. Should it happen, it’ll be then. Normally the sales don’t crossover though 🙁
-
hi guys so this morning i was out being productive and stuff right when there was a bit of stabbing pain in my left arm and i looked down and there was a spikey caterpillar doing some sort of rain dance on my arm so i was all hey bro what are you doing there and it was all /o/ \o\ /o/ \o\ as much as a caterpillar can do with the whole lack of arms thing and i am like mang that is not a proper answer so i blew him off i mean with my breath its not like i was all hey we have plans today but i do not think i will show up so you can possibly interpret that as an offensive action in our relationship i mean i literally just made him fly off with a gust of breath so anyway it is half an hour later and my arm is all red and blotchy so i was just thinking max payne 3 looks like a pretty cool guy
-
My brain hurts. I understood it and only had to read it once, but my brain still pains.
Cool story though. Maybe you were allergic? -
Check your arm where it was sitting. Are there any punctuation marks there? Cause there isn’t any in that comment…
-
Bahah.
Oh, Bish. I’m surprised that you didn’t feel something crawling on your arm before this stabbing pain. Isn’t the normal reaction to throw a fit if a bug crawls on you, or is that just me?
-
-
So, Bish and Rocketman had a baby, did they? 😛
-
Best story.
Except that the caterpillar poisoned you. 🙁-
It’s okay! They changed it so that it doesn’t affect you outside of battle. It might drain me of 1/8th of my HP each turn, but at least I won’t faint to it!
-
Nerd.
-
-swoon-
-

-
-
But seriously.
I would probably lean towards Max Payne 3 than Diablo 3 for this month.
Just saying.
So I send out a request for a meeting in my training course to learn to use the calender and I almost spelt meeting as “meating”. That would have been awkward.
-
Meating page get \o/

At least you didn’t do it on your resume, like a certain height impaired doctor.

It’s on the Google Calendar thing but I have no idea how any of that works, so expressions of interest can be sent to trjnrabbit [ at ] gmail etc.
-
I don’t think I’ll be able to make it now /o\ Aside from having almost no shifts the past few fees, from June there’s at least one person on leave every week up until October! Stupid people and their gigantic holidays. Hopefully I’ll be able to pick up some extra shifts and come up for a mini-meat in October if anyone would be interested.
-
Damn those other people that you work with!

Or, if you’re in Sydney, Pez’s pre-canberrian partay drinks to celebrate myself successfully aging….

I TOAST THIS GLASS OF WATER TO YOU
I think I am doing it right.

I’m trying to steal away the Sydney TAYbies dammit. And the Melbourne ones.
-
Well, since I’ve decided to be lazy, and since people were generally apathetic towards my suggestion, I have a new one, do whatever you want! Best plan? Best plan. So, just a reminded that Serrelicious’ birthday is this Sunday, so if you wish to wish a happy birthday wish upon him, the vague consensus seems to be to do it on Friday, as given how bad he is at reading emails normally, there’s no chance that he’d check then.
-
Also, Diablo 3 talk. I dunno, if LoL talk needs it, why not, right?
New trailer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LEAPxgMCEA8
I believe this counts as the “launch” trailer, which are usually quite spectacular.

Hmm, interesting. I’m not sure the animation style there necessarily fits the world that well, but ehh, I’ve had worse 6 minutes.
-
Work just informed me that I’ll be a store manager in a few weeks.
Wild panic setting in.
-
What sort of store?
-
Man that’s awesome.
\o/
-
Didn’t you just start this job?
Rocketing to the top, baby! 😀
-
Isn’t Rocketing punching guys in the face?
-
Nah, it’s throwing up as a sign of affection.
-
-
-
Apart from the bit where you have to harass one of your underlings and drill a hole into your hand, HOORAY!

Wait…is this the place you’ve been at few a few short months? Grats mang!

This reminds me a of a regurgitator song 😛
Also, YAY! 😀

Don’t panic, you have had weeks to understand the full interworking of the company.
After all, they are just putting their livelihood into your hands, that they use to ensure the health and welfare of their children.
I don’t see where the panic is coming from
I’ve been a store manager before. It’s pretty neat. You will soon be equipped with the power of delegation!
Is that because the previous manager applied a drill bit to his hand?
Do you think people would be willing to pay the price of admission for memory cards if you changed the name slightly to be ‘mammary cards’.
Just a thought…

Only if they were shaped like breasts.

Well ladies and gents, boils and ghouls, this is it, I am leaving you all for the bright sunny shores of the US of A.
In just a few hours I shall be boarding that plane to take me to the glourious land of booze, guns and Kardashians (shudder).
I will think fondly of you all as I lose all my money in Vegas.
Try not to behave yourselves while I am gone and I am sure I shall have many a crazy story to TAY once I return.
Hugo signing off.

\o/ Now we can talk about him behind his back.I mean,

Soooo neat!
Have fun buddy, and try not to have sex with Paris Hilton!…god knows enough poor souls already have…

Good luck!
Don’t cheat on clubby!

Goodbye friend!

Have fun man, and remember: speak slowly, cause some of them will have trouble understanding English.
-
Have fun and stay safe (May 10)

Hugo’s singing off?

Have a safe flight and enjoy yourself.

Don’t forget to call everyone mate when you’re over there and say streuth a lot.

Have a great time and take many pictures of foods for me. 😛

Same head of state?
I’ve been watching some Spec Ops the line footage and the main character is played by Nolan North and he sounds just like Drake in Uncharted. Why don’t the audio guys at the studio ask him to do a different accentor voice?
He has proven he can do a variety of voices, especially with his Penguin performance in Arkham city. So why do other devs not bother asking him to use a different voice.
I don’t know if it’s a lack of time or indifference, but I think if you’ve hired Nolan North it’s only reasonable to ask him to do a different voice. This way the character is unique and you don’t think of Nathan Drake every time you play the game.
Just nitpicking I guess.
-
Oops I meant accent or voice, accentors are birds according to Wikipedia.
-
Nolan North can do three voices. Nolan North. Nolan North with a terrible fake British accent. Nolan North doing some other voice.
Did you ever see the video of Mafia 2, where he talks to himself? He read the lines for both sides of a conversation, and used the same voice for both.
And studios want him to be Nathan Drake. They think that that’s how they can get popular.
-
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
-
THAT COUNTS IN MY THREE CATEGORY SYSTEM!
Seriously, best system, have 2 really strict categories, and then one that covers everything else. Forever.
-
It’s a fail proof system 😛
-
-
-
His deadpool is fantastic in marvel vs capcom…
-
His Deadpool is awful in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions 🙁
-
Haven’t played it, but I believe it’s actually ultimate deadpool you verse, who isn’t really that great of a character
-
He was interesting in that he was different. The game made him EXACTLY like 616 Deadpool.
Then again, Ultimate Spidey seemed an odd choice for the game given how similar he is to 616 Spidey. They even put him in the 616 black suit (The Ultimate black suit had no spider symbol IIFC).
If they wanted wacky Deadpool, he should have been a boss in the Amazing Spider-Man levels although, unlike Ultimate Deadpool, he was never really a nemesis for the web-head. He was there because of the whole “Deadpool is AWSM” thing that’s happening just now.
-
Really?
That sort of defeats the purpose of having it be ultimate deadpool…And I think he couldve been an ally for amazing spidey, I remember in one of the deadpool and cable comics, deadpool fights the symbiote with him, and it was pretty cool (I believe it involved symbiote infected dinosaurs).
In fact, the last deadpool and cable comic were great, just because the writers legitimately just went “screw it, let’s have deadpool team up with ALL the other heroes”
I wish that cable was in marvel vs capcom, would have loved to see their reactions to eachother
But I still like Nolan’s deadpool, have you watched hulk vs wolverine? He is deadpool in that as well. I liked it.
-
He was great in Hulk Vs Wolverine!
-
Well, you’d like him in marvel vs capcom, as he does the same voice and acts the same, pretty sure he was inspired by his appearance in hulk vs wolverine
-
-
-
In option 3 I must say I enjoyed his Penguin in Arkham City,
-
I despised it, but I have an irrational hatred towards Nolan North. No idea why, maybe I had a dream where he kicked me repeatedly, I don’t know. He can VA, I know that, I accept it, but I have no idea why he’s so popular.
-
I have friends you would get along very well with.
-
I guess they wanted just a normal voice, and Nathan drake is pretty much Nolan north’s normal voice…
Speaking of which, nolan is still fantastic as drake, even in the vita uncharted, he really still keeps his charm, he could of slacked off, seeing as its just a portable game, but he nails it again.
In fact, I’d say Nathan drake is one of my most favourite characters of this console generation.
Whoops, that just turned into a gushy love post about Nathan drake…
Morning TAY.
I’ve been having a bit of a thing for sci-fi films recently.
So a question – favourite Hard Sci-Fi movies?
I’d have to say Moon, & Sunshine are pretty damn good. any others?
-
heehee…
“hard”
-
Looking at the definition of Hard Sci-Fi the only two films I can think of off the top of my head that fit that definition are the two you listed. They were both decent enough but Moon was a little disappointing. It wasn’t as… emotional as I thought it was going to be.
Does The Core count as Hard Sci-Fi? That was an ok film.
-
Primer is pretty good.
There are some serious flaws in it but in terms of showing just how screwed up discovering time travel would be, I’d say it did a good job.
Moon is my favourite though.
-
I really need to see Primer. thanks for the reminder.
-
-
I’m inclined to just say 2001: A Space Odyssey because I don’t really know what “hard sci-fi” means 😛
But that movie was whack…
-
Hard sci-fi is basically saying, “This is legitimately possible in the future.”
-
So… Jurassic Park? 😀
-
-
No, no Greenius, you need to show your indie Sci-Fi chops.
Go with “Silent Running.”
Now that was a weird film. Bar the ship and rowboat(robot) design, quite plausible, in a few ways.
-
-
Apollo 13
-
Though I guess that’s not SF so much as a historical drama.
-
-
Does A.I.: Artificial Intelligence count?
-
Would Children of Men count?
-
I’d consider Children of Men to be Spec. Fic.(The hard genre, not the overarching term), as opposed to Sci-Fi, but you could probably make the argument either way.
-
-
Is Blade Runner ‘hard’ SF?
-
No, it’s more cyberpunk.
-
-
Would 1984 count? A fair few aspects of that are rather true these days…
I’m at such a mental roadblock right now. Still haven’t finished that essay. I just sit there, looking at a half filled word document. Frozen. I was like this last year as well. I had to drop out from the semester completely – after the census date so it was a massive hassle. I can see the same thing happening again, add in the fact that it’s making me really sick because that’s just what my body does when it’s stressed. YAY.
-
:'(
hang in there buddy!
-
You should play gaems to de-stress.
-
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one feeling like this….
🙁 -
You can do it. Don’t give up. Just write a paragraph every few minutes and the article will slowly be completed. Also have some water or some juicy fruits as you write the essay. The fruits will help keep you alert and active compared to things like bread or biscuits which will just make you feel tired.
Finally, if you’re at home have a nice long shower. I always feel refreshed after a shower.
-
I always found that when I had to write the one essay they require in film school, it was about our favourite movie and why, if I went to a library and sat away from everyone I’d nail it in like 2 – 3 hours.
If you can do it without innernette access as well, that’s a massive help.
Otherwise go suck an orange in the shower.
I hear Masha’s real into it.

I got this way in my final year at University. Got stuck on a project I was working on and just couldn’t motivate myself. Unfortunately there’s not much to do other than force yourself. Exercise can help work through this sort of thing if it’s a once-off but it sounds like it’s a more fundamental issue.
Will it kill your prospects of passing if you hand in a crappy unfinished essay? Might be that the best thing to do is just cut your losses.
-
Make a diorama instead. That will count right?

I had a shave this morning, so I guess I’m ready.
Come to think of it, where’s Pez? I need him to sell this meat so I can convince myself to go.
-
Oi Rize. Come to Sydney. DAN! will be there. Thats all the convincing you should need.
also beer & food & stuff will probably be involved.
-
Good work, buddy!
Now I just need to find out if there’s any room and such…or a nearby hotel.

Yeah Rize, come over. Who will change our shirts if you’re not around/

For some reason Firefox isn’t keeping my details requiring me to type Cakesmith and my email address every time. Just replied to Dan as Cakesmit by accident. Stupid Firefox.

It turns out that Breaka now uses “reduced fat milk”. I did not know this when I bought it. This is twice I’ve been burned by this travesty.
Seriously milk companies. What the fuck? I’m buying something that is 90% sugar, why deprive me of 2% fat? That’s where all the flavour is!
-
Eugh low fat dairy products taste rather gross.
-
I actually can not drink full cream milk any more. After many years of the low fat, or reduced fat, full cream milk tastes rather sickly and over powering.
-
Yeah, full cream milk tastes awful, to me.
So many years of light milk….-
Brothers in dislike of full cream milk! I KNEW THAT THERE WERE MORE OF YOU OUT THERE!
-
-
I’m in a similar situation. Light milk for years, suddenly can’t have more than a small amount of full cream.
Absolutely no innuendo there…
-
So to recap (for anybody who has vaguely followed my recent comments here and on twitter)
Ross Noble
Hilarious, as always. Sitting in the middle of the front row gives it a whole new dimension. It’s like he’s presenting the whole show directly to you. And thrusting his crotch at the woman to the left of you. And including you in the conversation about Florider vs the Black Eyed peas with Lim Fling the Chinese paralympian. Somehow my wife and I managed to avoid the ridicule that he was directing either side of us. Though he did give me a bottle of water from the stage.
If you haven’t seen this man live before, do yourself a favour at the next available opportunity!
Mass Effect 3
I finished it early this morning. Thought the ending was fantastic. Even if the other options were worse than the one I took (ahzore guerr, flagurfvf), there’s no way it was bad enough to receive the vitriol it has generated. Everybody on the Internet is a whinger, get over it.
Xbox 360 wifi adapter
I promised somebody (Shane?) that I would check with the guy I gave mine to. He says he is actually using it, to watch iView on their TV. That’s a pretty good cause so you’re going to have to look elsewhere for one. Sorry!
Trials guy
I saw on a multicoloured trail bike in the CBD yesterday, wearing a helmet that was straight out of Trials. I swear that Trials Guy has come to life and is roaming Sydney!

I saw Ross noble a few years ago, absolutely hilarious, I love how he can never finish a joke, and just goes on massive tangents. He’s a comedian that actually appears to be making himself laugh as much as the audience, it’s nice to see a guy who obviously has fun what he’s doing

Re: ME3
That’s the ending I chose. I didn’t mind it at first either, and I still don’t, at least not really, but once you start to read why people are upset you can really see their point of view. There really are problems with the ending, plot holes and the like, and it’s silly to deny that whether you liked the ending or not. Plus there’s also a case of broken promises. If you read some of the things the devs said in regards to the ending before the game released you’ll see that they tell straight up lies. I mean they may have been true at the time the dev said them but they’re certainly not true now and that’s also got some people worked up.
Also, gur guerr raqvatf ner nyy gur fnzr, whfg jvgu n qvssrerag pbybherq rkcybfvba. As you can imagine that’s also pissed people off.

No worries man. Thanks for asking!
Question, when people are on the minecraft server, do you guys use teamspeak as well?
Because If so then I might make my triumphant return back to TS
-
Depends on the night. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If nobody is talking via typing, they’re probably on Teamspeak.
-
You’ll find that people are often on TS.
I know that this is wrong but dammit, I chuckled.
-
bahahahah!
So adorable, in a horrible kinda way! -
He needs to be in a mech-suit!

Just gonna leave this here…
Probably best not watched at work
-
still… pretty damn awesome
-
Yeah, that sucks…
-
He was pretty amazing. I especially loved his Colbert interview earlier this year. He reminded me of Carl from Up, blunt and likable all at the same time. World’s a lesser place without him. 🙁
-
If you can get past the location blocks, the interview is available here: http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/406796/january-24-2012/grim-colberty-tales-with-maurice-sendak-pt–1
Be sure to watch both parts…
-
Went and saw a quick set by comedian Glenn Wool last night.
Freakin’ hilarious.
He’s an Iron Maiden fan and I was wearing an Iron Maiden shirt, so I like to think we connected on a level superior to that of the other audience members.
-
Was he all “SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEAM FOR ME “?
I have no idea why that first came to my head when you mentioned Maiden haha. But that’s awesome, because Iron Maiden are amazing.
-
err right I used the wrong brackets and it saw it as HTML what I meant to say was;
Was he all “SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEAM FOR ME (insert city name here)“?
-
Pretty much.
-
I have “Ashes to Ashes” in my head.
Fortunately for me, it isn’t the David Bowie version…
-
D=
Such things other than Bowies version exist?
-
I’ll take the Faith No More version over Bowie’s version any day of the week.
-
-
Please be the Faith No More version…
-
Smiling with the mouth of an ocean…
And I’ll wave to you, with the arms of a mountain…
I’ll see you!Love it.
-
One of the greatest songs EVER
-
-
-
Wrong. it should always be the Bowie version.
So I got Marilyn Mansons new album, god it’s so much better than his 2009 release, which I like to pretend doesn’t exist =D
Still this has nothing on Antichrist Superstar, Holywood, Mechanical Animals or even The Golden Age of Grotesque.
-
He’s still making music?
-
Yeah, he is. But I would add he isn’t making an effort live..
-
Is he still fat?
Because I would pay to see a fat Marilyn Manson in latex sing Beautiful People.
-
Not as fat as he was last year, but yep he was still rotund at Soundwave, and he was short of breath, always huffing on the oxygen, probably still doing lines of coke as well. He needs to get fit & healthy, like the other rockstars his age have decided to after the early years have really fucked with them.

-
I am back from my 4 hour course. I know exactly the same amount of stuff as before the training course bar a couple of commands I will never use in my job.
Oh well at least I got to eat an apple/Cinnamon muffin! \o/
-
wait … huh?
How did I get on page 10.
I must be a WITCH!!!
I’ve become the very thing I’ve been hunting, well the very thing I’ve been accusing people of being.
-
On the plus side, you get to take part in a witch burning!
-
\o/
I’M HELPING!
\o/
-
-
-
Tell me more about this muffin.
-
It was freaking amazing. I hadn’t had a apple/cinnamon muffin in years. There were 2 on the plate of muffins we were served for morning tea. I was tempted to tackle the other person that took the other one but it was a hot chick (engineering uni student) so I didn’t /o\
-
Did you consider trying to woo the muffin out of her hand? I can see you as a lady killer, Noob.
-
Ahaha, I’m sure that’s sarcasm and if not, you are going to be disappointed when you meet me. I’m pretty oblivious when it comes to women.
-
Also my go-to card of staring at her chest until she gets awkward and puts down the muffin and leaves the room couldn’t be used. Stupid sexual harassment policy.
*shakes fist*
-
dammit, that always works on me. I always put down the muffins :p
-
-
Oh NobShot, but it’s so easy.
Rule 1: Be nice, but don’t be too nice. Women are simple creatures, drip feed them a steady stream of compliments. Don’t do the backhanded compliment thing though, that’s just dumb.
Rule 2: Be endearing. Make comments at your own expense. Women hate confidence, and a few jokes at your own expense will never go astray.
Rule 3: Don’t be smarter than them(this one’s actually true). Studies have shown that relationships are more successful if the female is slightly “smarter” than the male. Not a lot smarter, just slightly.
Rule 4: If the above fails, try throwing up on them. Oh, and make sure that they’re actually female first. So awkward when you throw up on a hot girl, only to realise that they’re a man.
-
“Don’t do the backhanded compliment thing though, that’s just dumb.”
But, I thought telling a women something along the lines of “You have thick arms” would work though.
/o\
-
Oh no, no, “You have thick arms” is a perfect line. That’s not a backhanded compliment, that’s straight up flattery.
I’m thinking more “You have beautiful eyes. FOR A PROSTITUTE.”
Or,
“That dress works great for you. BECAUSE IT’S SO HIDEOUS IT DISTRACTS FROM YOUR FACE!”
-
I like that everyone references Rocketman during this conversation
-
-
-
RE Rule 3: I personally want a guy who’s fairly smart. And girls like smart guys too. However there’s always an unfortunate problem where you either have a thick guy or the I-know-more-because-I-am-a-man type.
Just be a nice guy. Girls like nice guys.
-
Also dont get friendzoned
-
Yeah, that’s usually the problem =P
(The whole “friendzone” thing)
-
I unintentionally friendzone everyone. I like friends! Until that guy wants to take me somewhere and that’s whoo awkward
-
Also as far as “girls like a nice guy” I would agree that they like a nice guy as a friend. Majority of the time (for me atleast) it has been the guy that treats the girl like shit that gets the girl.
-
@Noobheadshot, it does seem that way sometimes. They might get the girl, but those douchebags can’t keep a girl. If you’re after long-term, then douchebaggery is not a good plan of attack 😛
-
@Shane (reply button broked \o/)
I realise that, it just sometimes seems that being a nice guy barely pays off. When you’ve been single for 4 years (since highschool) one starts to contemplate what kind of positives being a nice guy gets you.
-
@Noob, I totally get that. I was the nice guy, and I was single until I was almost 21.
Now I’m 26 and married with 1.5 kids. It only takes one person to turn that around, and it can happen real quick.
-
@Noobheadshot
Try 7-8 years :P, I’ve lost count at 50 by how many times I got friendzoned or simply pushed aside since I got cheated on. I’ve only ever had 1 girlfriend
-
@ Techie that’s so awful. No one deserves to get cheated on :(. You’ll be fine. I know a lot of lovely guys who are almost 30 without meeting the right girl.
-
@Jordi True, nobody deserves that, I just thought that after so long I’m just straight up repulsive and give up on it all. That’s what I’ve done pretty much, I haven’t gone out to meet any girls for over 12 months now. The last time I got friendzoned was I think 9 months ago, after I’ve been supporting her through her family issues and after her breakup months before.
It’s more likely that since I’m a robot, I don’t have the correct programming for women.
happens to me all the time and I’m more depressed than Marvin cuz of it
It’s hard to tell the difference between being friend zoned or the person wanting to get to know you before letting you know if they’re interested.
Is that how women interpret intelligent men?
Unfortunately the world isn’t populated with wonderful intelligent men with deep timbre in their voices. Through experience it’s like a mixed bag where 80% are raisins and nuts you don’t want to eat.
As I said, it’s not about being stupid. In general though, women care more about their relative intelligence than a man(and they’re less likely to over-estimate their own intelligence), so in general, men don’t care, and women like to feel that they have a small upper-hand(which sounds like all women desperately crave proof that they’re superior, which really is not the point I’m trying to get at).
In terms of the rest of the points, I was being silly, but I’m fairly sure everybody knew that one.
I wouldn’t say it’s people being “intelligent” like on a scale of sandwich artist at subway to Einstein editing Wikipedia articles. I personally believe women on general like men they can interact closely and relate to.
But either way, when all else fails. Put a dick in her.
*shows self out*
Again, I’m not trying to advertise this as the be all, end all. In all honesty, it’s just a bit of trivia that I find interesting. Obviously, having some way you can relate to them, similar like, yadda yadda and so forth, is very important, but there are lots of little things, like what I mentioned, that can have an impact.
For instance, women typically like(or really, find attractive) “funny” men more than men like “funny” women. Are you not going to like a guy because he’s not very funny, even though he shares lots of interests with you, is nice, can cook a great steak or whatever else is important? No. But the trait has an overall effect.
And as stated, these are all, for lack of a better term, “averages.” Every person is different.
Except for the last point, we all know that it is a proven winner
Disclaimer: I’m someone who thinks that labels, grouping, and classifications of any kind simplify the human experience down to levels that are deceptive and ultimately not useful.
So. People and their tastes are as varied as fingerprints… and those are just the conscious tastes. Actual attraction, which is in part generated by subconscious – maybe even genetic – factors of compatibility, is an even harder thing to predict.
This is how I see it: it’s luck: pure and simple. You increase your odds by meeting more people (obviously), but I don’t think you can anticipate in advance what someone’s taste is.
Also, re: these rules. Given that it’s a crap shoot, you’re better off just being yourself, that way you’re not trapped in a role you can’t play if you do meet someone.
#My$0.02.
That’s a good way to put it. You can’t always determine the type of person you’ll like. And it might take you years before you decide to. My friend’s sister is getting married to a guy who was her best friend for many years.
Also, re: smarter. There is some truth to this, which I will attempt to relate using a personal anecdote.
My wife claims that I am smarter than her; I maintain that we are on approximately equal footing intelligence-wise, but I have had more education/experience. Anyway, we both agree that logic and rational thinking are areas in which I have a distinct advantage over her.
And she hates it when I use logic to disprove her points and debunk her emotional arguments. REALLY hates it. Especially when I rub it in afterwards.
So: logic and stupidity in the form of gloating are both things that annoy my wife, and may indeed annoy all women. I don’t know for sure.
So if we convert your malay dollars into AUD we get a $0.000046
You should have a higher opinion of your opinion in my opinion
No, that’s about right.
Great idea: Buy USB notebook speakers.
Bad idea: Turn on speakers, press volume up twice.
These go from quiet to raging after just two presses of “volume up”.
I still like them, though.

Lunch: Chili con Carne with a heaped teaspoonful of The Chilli factory’s Scorpion Strike and a generous helping of Tapatio sauce! Excellent!
WAAAAAAAH! I don’t want to go to KFC for lunch, but it’s the most convenient option available. It’s either that or Coles, and I got lunch from Coles yesterday…
-
I feel like I should make and pack a lunchbox for you each and every morning.
-
Do it
-
Today I packed a mandarin and muesli bar, and it appears I also have two Kit Kat Chunkies in my bag.
-
Well, I’m having a packet of Shapes.
Maybe not the best person to dictate your lunch.-
Screw this… I’m going to KFC.
Now the full time dude will be there and judge me like I’m some kind of KFC obsessed freak.

That is how awesome the TAY share house would be. Bish would be the lunchpacker. I’ll pay the rent.

I believe for girls they get random headlighting. Actually I lived in a dorm with a gorgeous Korean girl with massive… chestal regions and wore no bra. She used to headlight like crazy

… She had a big heart?

Her ribs were overgrown?

High capacity lungs?

She had a big heart! She gave me Korean shoju in little juice boxes!

Hey… I found this apple and cinnamon muffin on the floor…
Anyone want it?
Sooo. I have a question I’ve been debating putting here, but here goes.
I Currently Game on my laptop – which is in need of a upgrade.
Yes – It needs to be a laptop – as My living situation cant handle a desktop right now…
So what is a well priced good gaming laptop?
I would prefer sub $1000 but also understand the reality of that so could probably go up to 1500. Screen size isnt an issue either.

Dell XPS 15 inch notebook. $1298 at JB Hi-Fi
http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/laptops/dell-u560813au-xps-15-notebook/657165-
I looked at the XPS when I was shopping for a laptop, and I didn’t like the build quality. Felt like it would fall apart with just a little shaking. This is a problem I have with most laptops. My current laptop (see below) feels like you could drop it and it would still work.
-
I have one of those (or very, very similar). Is good.
-
-
I have an M11x which was around $1,000. Very happy with it. Don’t know if they still make them though, I think they focus now on the 14″ one for that market. The build quality is really good, everything from the solid build down to the soft-touch keys and having a memory-card reader and two headphone jacks is quality.
yo peeps. at the airpoort about to get on flight to finland stopped at ipad booth to charge my phone haha

Fast ‘n Furious 5 probably would have made a bit more sense if I had seen 1,2 and 4 first, right?
-
Err, It’s something a bit like 1, 2, 5, 4 then 3. i’ve seen them all multiple times and still can’t work out it’s actual damn sequence.
-
Just checked wikipedia. Apparently it’s 1,2,4,5 then 3. Also, there are two short films too, in between 1 and 2, and 2 and 4.
-
I don’t think the 1939 film is connected in any way though 😛
-
Haha, maybe =P

-
I’m so bored, but almost home time.
So lately, I haven’t purchased any new games, so I went back to World of Warcraft after a long break and decided, out of OCDishness (it’s a thing k) that I wanted one of every class at level cap. Only one more class to go, which is at 83 (of an 85 cap) ZOMG WHAT WILL I DO WITH MY LIFE AFTER
-
I really only need to waste a week because Diablo 3
But still -
What class? and you could always cap 10 toons at 85 on the opposing faction =P
-
Last one I’m doing is a DK. i guess i could, but I have 4 Alliance 85’s and 5 Horde 85’s. So I’ve done both sides multiple times already 😛
-
Ah =P
83-85 will take you like 2 days at moderate playing xD
-
About 6 hours going by my last few ones I did 😛
Though they may have had more rested than the DK, so yeah probably a few days
-
-
-
-
Start playing a new MMO and repeat the process?
-
I already played Aion/Rift/SWTOR recently. Played the hell out of them when they released, just didn’t stick to them. Guess it’s because these days I prefer to just level and don’t raid or do any sort of end-game content.
-
Play EVE! It’s an MMO but different.
-
-
-
Poor Iroh. Demoted to Yoda.
-
Also, does this mean Aang and Katara are brother and sister? Or does it just make the Leia/Han relationship weird because Sokka and Katara are brother and sister?
-
I’m wondering if Sokka should be Luke, since Katara is Leia

So apparently the latest Famitsu leaks include an interview with Persona composer Shoji Meguro where he basically states that if they do Persona 5, he wants to change the music style.
Sadness. Persona’s music is one of the most unique things about it. 🙁

It was good but not the BEST. Change might be good.
Like. Less Engrish.

c) The worst English in video game music was the Suikoden vocal collection
-

-
That’s… interesting.
Because I think the J-poppy sort of stuff is more integral to the atmosphere of the high-school/young adult stuff. I suppose he could be referring to the more regular battle/dungeon music?
I really like his work across the SMT series, and whilst I agree the music is a very strong part of P3 and 4… I don’t know, it might not necessarily be a bad thing? The man is good at composing.
@Jordi
I’m not sure about friday steak, interested but still unsure on what I have on with work.
Did you have any idea on where to go, Rare is quite good

NegZero had a suggestion for a southbank place. We’re happy to wait until later 🙂
-
looking at the King St one. It might be good location wise for everyone to get to. I think we should do that one yes yes?
-
I’m not worried as long as I can get there with a minimal amount of effort. And more importantly, get back afterward without being mugged and/or having to walk for half an hour.
-
King St one is super close to me, google maps says 12 minutes walk. That’d be cool.

Heading home now after a long crappy day \o/
Get to read Hamlet on the bus \o/ \o/
Day redeemed
-
I really like Othello. It’s got a kind of trainwreck aspect to it.
-
So don’t go reading Othello on a train then, right?
-
Othello was pretty good. I like Hamlet better. I can still remember a large chunk of the To Be or Not To Be soliloquy. Also the one about Yorick.

Wait, that’s how you do it? I was wrapping him in my hair, and singing! I knew I shouldn’t have listened to Disney.

I thought your hair not glowing would have given that away.
Though can imagine how glorious your hair would look if it glowed? 😛-
Wait my hair doesn’t glow when I sing? One sec…
*muttered*
Flower, gleam and glow, let your power shine, make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine. What once was mine.H-uh. I guess my hair doesn’t glow. Boy, that’s a little awkward, though I guess it explains that night out in the clubs…

Lol, that’s just an old joke, the space marine being a ripoff of gears. 😛

Oh. I just realised that my head’s been bleeding where I banged it on the clothes line half an hour ago…
-
GO TO THE NURSE’S OFFICE.
Ruh-roh. Hope you don’t have a concussion.
-
I don’t think I have a concussion, I mean I don’t feel like I have one. Of course, I didn’t feel like I was missing a chunk of my chin when that other incident happened either.
-
Do you just not feel pain or something? You killed a fan once, too…
-
-
-
Quick! How many fingers am I holding up!?
-
Seventy eleven?
-
-
Uhhhh that’s not good.
-
You are a walking accident. I’d have thought it was impossible to be this clumsy, but you are living proof.
But yeah, get that head injury looked at ASAP. Scalp wounds bleed lots. And you should be checked for concussion etc if you banged your head hard enough to cut it.-
Tis but a scratch! I think. It’s not bleeding that badly. I mean, I don’t have blood pouring down the side of my face…
OH GOD I’M GONNA DIE!
-
-
It’s all right! I’m okay. Got my mum to check it out. It’s just a shallow cut. Phew.

So, Peace Walker is awesome. Got to the bit where you meet Strangelove. The emotional manipulation is superb. Snake and the Boss are such a tragic pair. #manlytears
-
I have an MGS shirt I bought that says BIG BOSS on the front. Unfortunately no one gets it *cry*
-
Big Boss is so awesome, not because of what he does, but because of why he does it. There is only the mission.
-
If I saw someone wearing that shirt I’d probably shout “Neeeeeeerrrrrrdddddddd” at them. Just sayin’.
-
Yeah but I have boobs.
-
I have moobs.
But they’re a different kettle of piranhas.
-
No one really thinks I’m a nerd for wearing my nerdy shirt collections ever cause I am a lady and ladies don’t play games or do that stuff. The only time people thought I was wearing stuff for nerd cred was at a poker game with some gaming devs and I only had a batman tshirt that was clean. /o\
-
Don’t worry, I think that you’re a genuine nerd!
NNNNNEEEEEEERRRRRDDDDDDD.
Hell, you’re commenting here, so either you’re a nerd, or… Hmmm… crazy? I dunno, something like that.
-
-
-
-
Of course, if I was the one wearing the shirt, I’d be yelling “Neeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrdddddd” back at you, because, well, you got the reference.
Of course, I would wear a shirt that says BIG BOSS on the front of it without having ever played any of the Metal Gear games and not knowing a thing about the character. 😛
-
I totally do that. But I do love Big Boss. mmmm I’d bang that like a screen door.
-
-
And then they’d CQC strangle you. Don’t mess with me, Blaghs. I know karate. 😛
-
But I’m Asian, I know Kung Fu. That’s how it works.
-
I watched Three Ninjas as a kid. Therefore I’d win.
-
I want to know why we’re fighting though. Me calling someone a nerd is a compliment.
-
True… Maybe we can stage an exhibition fight?
-
Good plan!
-
Well, Chuloopa got me all nostalgic going on about Space Marine all day kicking down doors and breaking through walls and shit.
If anyone would like to hook up and have a game i’ll be online in approx. 1 hour (7PM nsw), tag as above.
SPAAAAAAACE MAREEEEEEENZ AAAAAAHHHHTAAAAAACK!!!!!
-
You appear to be new to TAY, or at least I’ve never seen you around here before, so I am going to say hello to you now.
Hello!
-
Thankyou good sirs.
And hello back.
I am indeed a noob TAYist. I entered my tag on the mighty tay list whatsy… I think.
… what is this Oar you speak of?And now, enough chicken soup for me, off to the bottlo then its time for some SpaceMarine action. Hope to game with some of you in the future 🙂
-
-
Also have you experienced the Oar yet?
-
Welcome to TAY! Come on in, the water’s disturbingly warm.
-
Why is the water… wait… don’t answer that… ‘,:-/
-
-
Also you have to turn up to the next meat or else you’re not allowed to talk in TAY anymore. Oh and you have to turn up naked.
Nah I kid. You can wear underwear.
The cleaners keep interfering with my VF-1A. 🙁
-
What an awful page get. I’m sorry, everyone. 🙁
-
Saved my one from being one. That would have been shameful.
-
Whining about people bumping my plastic transforming aeroplanes vs admitting to singing along to Belinda Carlisle.
I think we’ve both lost in this case 🙁
-
-
Driving home from work singing Belinda Carlisle songs at the top of my voice.
Totally manly.
-
Best post. 😀
-
I’ll see your Belinda Carlisle and raise you the soundtrack to The Rescuers
-
And all I had on was Cold Chisel…
-
Of course we had to end up on a new page while I was posting, didn’t we? 😛
Repost:
It’s all right! I’m okay. Got my mum to check it out. It’s just a shallow cut. Phew.
But now I’m sitting here holding an icepack to my head. It’s cold. And wet.
Also, telling TAY about my injury before anyone else? Achievement get: Addicted Hardcore TAYer.
-
Head wounds always bleed alot. Good to hear it wasn’t too bad.
-
@AlexPants.
It must be my superpower. I’ve had many an incident where I’ve underestimated my injuries. Like the time I grazed my face on a road, went inside and asked my mum if my face was okay, then looked in a mirror to see that almost half my face was bleeding.
Funnily enough I’ve never broken any bones. At least, I don’t think I have. Heck, for all I know I could have broken quite a few bones but never realised it.
Also, I think it’s genetic. My aunt, when she was young, was doing gymnastics, landed on her foot wrong and broke a few bones in it, but it wasn’t until she had walked off the mat (which was about ten steps) that it started hurting.-
It must be something you eat or drink that has super secret super-power-inducing ingredients in it…
-
It must be the spinach! See! Popeye wasn’t complete fiction after all!
-
-
-
Do you actually feel pain?
Maybe you have that cool (weird) disorder where you don’t have a sensitivity to pain?
I’m old enough, but I always feel oddly gleeful when I put in the wrong age on age restricted videos. It always feels like I’ve gotten away with something.
*puts on shades and rides into the sunset as ‘Bad to the bone’ by George Thorogood & the destroyers plays in the background*
-
Sounds like me today. Instead of buying tickets, we used our Myki’s because the Myki machine’s weren’t working.
It was so naughty ^^;;-
Completely justified IMO
-
I don’t think the government would agree
-
They’re the ones who can’t make the system work despite all the money thrown at it.
-
True. Free rides all round \o/
-
-
-
I remember when I was young enough that I had to lie about my age sometimes. I felt like such a bad-arse.
I always say I’m 111 years old.
I’m 111 and looking at vids of MK fatalities.
-
I was born on the first of January, one_scrollwheel’s_rotation years ago.
-
Haha, exactly this!
-
Got it in one.
-
-
I sometimes use 111 but mostly just type in random numbers.
Also when I was younger my older friends would lie to me and tell me that if I didn’t type in my real birthday the government agents would arrest me. I was scared of going online for weeks.
-
Oh man, 1901? Best internet year to be born.
BUT I AM 62 YEARS OLD AND WANT TO WATCH THIS TRAILER FOR BULLETSTORM
Whenever I come across one of those age things, I always put in the earliest date possible. Yes, I was born back in 1900. I just age very slowly. 😛
People who missed the week-by-week hero sigil unlock thingamabobby for Diablo 3 over the past month or so, it looks like Blizzard are now just all “hey, you can now do them all :D”
So here’s the link.
If you just want the unlock, I don’t think any customisations you do matter, just nextnextnext and use your battlenet account email when it prompts.
-
Yay! I somehow failed at properly entering the first one, so now I can have them all!
uh oh
my debit card just arrived…
must.. not… buy… EVERYTHING
-
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand already i just bought dissidia 012 for my VITA…
-
You’re doing it right!
-
I JUST BOUGHT ORION: DINO BEATDOWN ON STEAM OH MY GOD SOMEONE STOP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
Okay friend, stop buying yourself games.
And buy me games instead.
-
-
-
-
Debit card rocks! You can go as nuts as you like, but only if you’ve already got the money.
Cards Against Humanity.
We must do this at a meat.
-
The Giant Bomb guys always seem to have a lot of fun playing it. The good thing is we don’t need to buy the cards, the creators allow users to download a PDF version of the game.
http://www.cardsagainsthumanity.com/pdf/CAH_MainGame.pdfCards are obviously better though, unfortunately they seem to be always sold out.
-
You can’t get them imported into Australia anyway.
We have fancy copiers at work. I might have to make a set for Pez’s housewarming.
-
Just read the article about the Pokemon onesies and fell apart laughing when I hit the comments.
Looks like Yellowius can take a break for a while. Rest well buddy. You’ve earned it.
-
What a scary coincidence that we would post about the same article at the same time…
#kotakuconspiracies
-
Then I realized that is exactly the type of commenter that Yellowius is parodying and I died a little inside.
-
I love how someone was like “Yellowius?” And then they werew like “nah, too much class”
It’s probably a good idea for someone to tell numbers to ignore Cheesus completely.
Also, ig she’s a female, I’m sorry on behalf of my gender.-
yeah. sorry. I know I shouldnt reply. dont feed the trolls & all that. Ignoring them commences in 3…2…1… GO!
-
or just appear to be less emotionally invested.
-
-
I get the feeling she’s about as female as I am…
-
That’s what I was thinking, Lambo.
-
-
-
-
I do make pretty good Pokemon comments huh.
-
That you do Bish, that you do.
-
A note on Cheesus: as fun as it may seem to snap back at them, wouldn’t it be better to ignore them? They said in one article today that they enjoyed the content but still hated the article because it was Luke’s, it seems quite clear they’re doing it now just to rile people up.
I guess I’m saying ‘don’t feed the troll’, really, but I also can’t stop people from commenting, and I’m in a predicament because some of the things #35 posts back at them are very amusing. I just think Cheesus would probably give up quickly if people stopped replying to them.
-
Ooooohhh weeeeee oooohhhhh!
MIND TAKING!
-
MENTOK, the MIND TAKER!
-
-
Yeah. You’re right. I know I shouldn’t reply. Sorry.
Maybe we just need the word filter to check for & flag that name for moderation like it with that other name.-
It’s probably the best idea. Sorry i called you numbers above. I get so confused /o\
I don’t blame you for responding, it can’t be helped sometimes. -
Just know that your posts were funny, though. 😛
-
-
Feeding the trolls really amuses me though.
-
Aw man, did I miss another Cheesus encounter? 🙁
-
Also, remember when I sang Bohemian Rhapsody with Chazz? He sorta calmed down after that 😛
-
Can’t hurt to share some Queen around the site!
-
-
-
Oh man those pic replies are hilarious
I know it’s bad feeding the trolls but bloody hell the replies are funny 😀 (ours not theirs)
-
We should IP ban him.
I’m not joking.
I don’t like this Jagger kid. Too cocky.
Plus, I play the trumpet, he has offended me. Obviously the kid has never heard of Ska
-
Who? =P
Hopefully not talking about Mick Jagger =P
-
Nah, the 9 year old on Australia’s got talent.
Also, the woman in black comes out next week \o/
-
-
He can certainly play those drums though.
-
I mean, uh, what? I have no idea what you’re on about.
-
I’m talking about that show, y’know, the manly one. Where they play drums with hammers and stuff.
-
-
He can but his cocky attitude puts me off. Even though he’s a child.
-
-
Star Hoodz were pretty cool just now.
I mean, wait, what?-
Yeah, but I like the two guy dance crew better with their popping and locking
-
Let’s watch Safe!
-
We can’t, not for another 4 and a bit hours!
Well, longer because nowhere is going to have a midnight showing, but whatevs.
-
BUT WE WILL NEED THE KEY FIRST
-
I could get the key out of Jason Statham if ya know what I mean…
-
So, on less buzzkill-y discussion, how goes the Minecraft server.
-
I NEED MORE COBBLESTONE! MMMMMOOOOOORRRRREEEEEE!!!!!
-
Yes, that is a statement, not a question. DEAL WITH IT DAMNIT.
-
Coloured wool everywhere!
-
I STILL HAVEN”T MADE A HOUSE DAMMIT
-
I have a building, but not a house… :/
-
-
Have you been trying to connect lately?
It was pretty horrible yesterday 🙁
-
Stop making me want to play minecraft!
-
But I just said the server had very annoying connection problems 😛
That should deter you from wanting to play!
-
It’s not that, I tried playing once but couldn’t figure out wth I was doing. I never played it again.
-
-
-
Is it the server or you having issues? Every time I play it’s fine 😛
-
Definitely the server. It was pretty horrible last night with me, B-Funk, nos, Nob and Mawt having troubles connecting.
-
-
-
We will be on the new server on Friday \o/
-
Does that mean I’ll have to build my house again? /o\
-
No. Same world. Different host server.
-
Awesome 😀
-
-
-
@Lt HELI
Hi!
-
Hello good sir.
-
Hi!
Um, I’m really confused, are you new here or a returning old member?
Either way Welcome (back)!
-
Stupid TAY making half pages disappear until I comment. Grrr.
-
But on the bright side, Vegemite!
I have nothing to add, to be honest, I just want to get my post count up…
-
Vegemite is Australia’s greatest export. Even greater than our mineral exports, or our celebrities. Vegemite.
Just typing that word makes me want to say it.
And saying it makes me want to eat it.
And eating it makes me want to eat even more of it.-
Vegemite. OM NOM NOM!
-
The stuff is like acid to me. No idea why. Everyone else in my family can eat it including the dog. I just can’t. They’ve suggested spreading it thinner so it doesn’t burn as much.
-
I pity you.
Vegemite, margarine(or butter, I guess), on a vita-weat with cheese is like cocaine in food form.
-
Butter and margarine is fine =D So I haven’t missed out
-
This.
Do you ever make a Vita wheat sandwich and squeeze them together so you get little vegemite and margarine worms coming up through the holes?
-
So fun! Cruskits are also good for Vegemite. Dry Weet Bix covered in Vegemite make a yummy (if slightly dry) breakfast. Vegemite and cheese toasted sandwiches are absolutely awesome.
-
Hm, Cheese and vegemite toasted sandwiches I might be able to stomach.
-
-
-
BAD BLAGHMANG! BAD!
-
Is that for the Vegemite, or for the spamming?
-
Must be the spamming. Vegemite is never bad.
-
Agreed.
-
-
Both?
-
The vegemite. Unless we’re discussing how bad it is, it should never be mentioned.
-
You’ve broken my heart, Notty boy.
I’m going off to cry.
-
I guess we can’t be friends anymore.
-
Remember to drink his tears!
I used to think you were cool. Now your just a Vegemite Heathen. 😛
Where is this meet ‘meat?’ you speak of?
@Jordi
I seem to have made a reply fail. Such is life.
-
I did it about 6 times when they rolled out the new comments. I still do.
Also meet meat is just a bunch of us turning up to do shit. Some are coming up in Brisbane & Canberra I think?
-
I am in country NSW so a bit too far this time.
Possibly in the future though. I intend on getting work in central QLD.
-
There’s quite a few people from rural NSW I think. I know Rocketman is from satan’s arsehole. But settle in and have some fun /o/
-
-
If you’re anything like me, you might prefer not to see Cheesus’ comments altogether.
So, I made this, which pretty much causes that to happen: http://justanothercoder.com/tay/Kotaku_InvisibleCheesus.user.js
Note: this doesn’t block people’s replies to the comments.
Should work in Firefox (with greasemonkey) or Chrome, just by clicking on that link. It can be removed later on through Greasemonkey’s “Manage User Scripts…” option of Chrome’s “Tools->Extensions”
-
You are insane. You did that just now too, didn’t you?
-
You, sir, are brilliant.
-
I have a better script. It doesn’t show any troll comments. The script is:
Read the article. When you get to the comments, close the tab.
-
This is my usual modus operandi
-
Sorry, not to slight on your script fled. (Am actually a bit jealous of your javascriptness. It’s something I plan on learning when I have the time [Among a million other things I want to learn]).
-
-
A better idea might be to do what that Youtube Comment one does, and replace every word with herp derp.
-
And the gravatar pic with http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/270676-harp-darp-herp-derp ?
😀
-
I don’t have a coin section in my wallet. People ask me why I don’t get a “better” wallet. I prefer my current method of dumping my coins from my pockets/bag/whatever into a piggy bank at home. Just emptied it cause it was full.
$357.45 ain’t bad for the past 7 months. One comfortable step towards a new computer \o/
-
Best idea. My flatmate & I cashed in 2 years worth of change & ended up with about $700 each. new video card!
-
I do that with all of my silver coin. Probably got about $100 in a bunch of cups on my desk. Nowhere near as good as you, though. D:
-
Mine’s a weird coin wallet. I’m currently swapping over from my gears wallet to my Zelda one
-
I put coins in my coin section in my wallet but when it gets full I leave behind 1 or 2 gold coins and dump the rest into this coin box I’ve had since I was little. I’ve emptied it a few times and get around $250 each time :D. Coined about $500 worth of coins a few months ago from my box and a bag of coins my dad kept in his car. Not too shabby!
I hate people who just don’t care and throw it out… MONEY IS MONEY GUYS!!!
-
Yeah, mine usually ranges from $180-$250 when I empty it, so pretty happy with the outcome this time 😀
I’m really bad at saving, but this usually works for me. It doesn’t hit a huge amount, but it’s a nice boost every 6 months or so.
-
-
I dump all the silver into a giant jar.
In the school holidays in winter I share it out amongst my god-children and nieces/nephews to count with the understanding that we get equal shares in the final ammount. I keeps them ammused on rainy days, (and of course I spend my share on them anyway), but they love having “earned” some money to spend on whatever they want.
-
My mate has one of these jars since new years he has put over a grand in loose change in it o.o
Walking Dead : Wow… I need a lighter game after that. I’m not finished it yet…
Posed on Twitter, but I’ll put it here too:

Thanks Mr. Rize!
Hello nightTAY!
-
Hello!
-
What have I missed?
-
-
Hiyo canine smurf.
Mass Effect 3, why do you insist on playing with my emotions?!?!
-
You still have emotions?!
-
I seem to experience disgust quite a lot when you’re around 😛
-
This bloke I work with recorded this funky little groove.
He plays bass and french horn. He plays both while busking, using a loop pedal.
Hope you like it.
http://soundcloud.com/bryce_tucato/random-groove
-
Very groovy indeed, nice one.
-
That’s an interesting sound 😛
-
He won first prize in the Belgrave buskers festival.
It was his first time ever busking.I guess the combination of bass and french horn is unique enough that it gets everyone’s attention. That’s gotta help.
-
-
My mate’s in a band, here is one of their songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmF5-7ibjDA
-
That’s brilliant!
Your mate’s band has a bright future ahead!
-
So is 2-3 months too early to start looking at a new job?
-
No, I don’t think so.
Go for it! \o/ -
I have never held a job for more than 3 months, so I say nope!
-
And I’ve never had a job
._.
Unless work experience for a week counts? I was in a super secret place with millions of dollarz and guards with gunz
-
I believe they were testing on you 😛
-
-
FUUUUUUUUU!!!! Damn you witcher!!! Why for you no kill Nilfgaardianzzz!!!!
/gettingpwned
-
First one or the second?
-
Gah! *takes a deep breath* reply fail, next page…
-
SAFE will be so awesome!
-
MY BODY IS READY!
-
Hello Cake’s new handle which will only last a few days 😛
… after you jump out of the pit to rescue Triss (so the second?)… and I only just emptied ALL my inventory into storage including all my blade oils!! FUUUUU…
I bet if I released the blind sorceress she would’ve helped in the battle too! FUUUUU!!! Just had ’em down to two measly archers left!!!! …..must….kill…all….FUUUUUUU!!!!!
-
reply fail ^^^
OK… kill sorcerer first, roll like ninja, runaround get archers to draw swords, roll like ninja, chop chop chop, roll like ninja, chop chop, roll like ninja, chop chop chop, roll like ninja through the fire, burning, burning, oh FUUUUUUUU
-
I’m still waiting to play it. Stupid uni getting in the way.
So that Mists of Pandaria is gonna be a interesting expansion. Currently playing around in my mates beta invite and yeah pretty cool, starting you out in the beta at 85 is OP. 5k gold, PVE & PVP armour sets and about 10,000 gold (vendor value) in items…
-
It’s a SAFE bet that you won’t have all that gold just given to you in the actual expansion.
-
Sadly no, damn you Blizzard =(
-
Woohoo! I am victorious!! God bless the multi kill-move finisher getting the last three shield bearers.
I will stop talking to myself now… bedtime for this witcher.
Nighty night.
It’s late 😛
Why am I still up? :O
-
Because we TSers are awesome.
-
True!
I still refresh TAY even though there’s no new updates, so I had to say something 😛
-
There are people not on TS atm around, too!
Although I probably tend to notice new stuff on twitter more quickly than new stuff on TAY. D:
-
I’ve hit a rhythm of updating pages so as to minimise the variance in the amount of information I receive, it’s very useful, I stay up to date on everything.
-
Perth people don’t count because they’re (2 hours?) behind!
-
Oops I meant it doesn’t count as being late in Perth.
Of course there’s still people hanging around TAY/Twitter but they should post more so I don’t keep refreshing to the same TAY 😛
-
-
-
Good morning all !
It is morning, isn’t it? Can’t really tell by looking outside.
-
It’s close enough.
Good morning!
Is it SAFE to say today is the 10th?
-
There’s something extremely important that I had to see today, but I can’t remember what it was… If only I had a reminder or four.

In cinemas May 10…2037
SO new Doctor Who is not going to be released until august. I thought they might have done what they did last year with half the season early and half the season later.Oh well something to look forward to in august i suppose 🙂
-
I’d prefer to wait than have another split season. That wait was torturous!
I wonder what would happen if Cheesus and Yellowius were to meet?
-
You should totes flirt with her(?)!
-
Flirt or get upset as there’s only room for one self-aggrandizing jerk on this site?
-
Both?
-
-
I had a scary dream D:!
I was in some sort of exam for English at some examination hall and had to write like 3 essays on topics I knew nothing about… It was scary :(. Since it was a dream, all this crazy stuff happened and next thing I know I’m at home on the computer, still doing the exam and posting on TAY for help. I was also playing a game that sort of looked like Minecraft :/…
Stupid exams…
-
I think it’s a SAFE bet that you’ve been playing too much Minecraft if you’ve started dreaming about it too 😛
-
nawww, It was because of all those things Jordi was talking about on teamspeak last night wasn’t it. =P
-
Or every other night
-
Jordi, keeping TS classy!
-
Well it’s either she creeps us out or makes a joke out of my social problems, one of the two
-
-
-
SAFE to say this will probably be a thing today.
-
Better SAFE then sorry.
-
HAHA! Oh god, what have I started?
-
AS KING OF KOTAKU (If that is even still a thing) I HEARBY DECREE, BY POPULAR CONSENSUS, THAT TODAY, MAY 10, BE FROM THIS POINT ON BE KNOWN AS ‘SAFE DAY’!
MAY THE STATHAM BE WITH US. EVERYONE!
-
Just wondering but did anyone else call you the king of Kotaku (before it was official)? I know I did ages ago and when I joined TAY but just wondering… 🙂
Gosh-darn!
Dat Dragons Dogma.
WHY WERE YOU SO SHORT, DEMO?!?!
-
I want it naow!
Trying to decide which console though, I’m thinking PS3
-
Yeah – i’m seriously considering asking for it for my birthday… but at the same time i don’t know if i’ll have the time for it just yet… soooo conflicted!!!
WHY YOU NOT ON MULTI-CARD PSVITA!?!?! 😛
-
Wait a few weeks to find out Capcom’s DLC plans. I can usually stomach DLC if I buy the game at a cheaper price and the cost of DLC adds up to the recommended retail price. i.e if I buy the game for AU$ 40 and the DLC is $20-$25 I can justify buying the game early.
-
-
A lot of Starcraft teams have copped flak lately for doing announcements of announcements. Trying to hype things up like player signings and whatnot. Evil Geniuses has decided to run with that and take a different approach to announce their latest signing.
I was highly amused. Then again, I spend far too much time on TL and /r/Starcraft so I got most of the little jokes.
-
hahaha that was pretty neat 😀
-
Incontrol may not be the best player but damn is he a funny dude.
-
I got so excited because I could buy a colour changing shower head for $16!
Then I found out the deal had ended. I was shattered.
-
It only takes small things, hey? 😛
-
Yeah. =( I got too exited. and so when i found out I couldn’t get it T_T
-
Oh Loops, it’s okay buddy. I get emails all the time saying there are pills & ‘exercises’ to help with that =P
-
It’s been a week since I last had a coffee. Strangely, I have not decomposed as a result. This is unexpected. What do?
-
Watch SAFE
-
Just make sure you’re not a witch by splashing water on yourself.
-
I’m reasonably certain that I’m not a witch. Nobody’s built a bridge out of me yet.
-
I don’t know why but I feel Different today.
Like for some reason I feel a lot SAFEr
-
You should if you have the key.
Morning all,
Have some fresh and tasty Mechwarrior Online gameplay footage to start your day.
-
…and here’s a new mech to go with top it off.
http://mwomercs.com/news/2012/05/232-battlemech-10-cicada-
I love you, man!
Damn that looks soooooo gooooood!!!! 😀
-
LoL talk
Thought I’d announce I got my first Dragon non-smite steal yesterday evening using Sivir’s boomerang blade behind the cliff 😀 Like a boss!
-
Nice!
I ran around being a jerk last night, poisoning people and flinging them everywhere.
Also I played League of Legends.
-
Really made me sad that the guys watching that match didn’t see it cuz they were too busy mining in a remote star system… we lost that game cuz of our bad jungler xin feeding but that still felt good to do
-
-
Nice one.
My favorite steal was flashing into the baron pit as Ryze and Qing it for the win.
Excepts then the rest of the team though that was the signal to engage and we almost got aced but it was a good steal.
Also you did so well as Singed last night Bish

I hope everyone intends on watching SAFE today.
Everyone seems to be making some sort of joke about something.
Umm.. eerr. VAULT!
Firstly, my Fishpond comic book order arrived. The book was packed in a pretty good heavy duty sealed envelope packing thing. Despite the best efforts of the mailman to bend the book by wrapping it around one of my smaller Ozgameshop order boxes, the comic was in mint condition. And believe me, my idea of mint means ZERO defects. So I think I’ve found my new go-to website for comics. As much as I love browsing stores in the city for new stuff to read, the prices at Aussie retail are just too high to consider.
Anyway, I got The Dark Knight Returns, and my first impressions are good. The particular art style they’ve chosen to go with doesn’t exactly leave the book open for the biggest amount of praise. That’s not to say the art is bad, but it’s certainly not the best looking Batman book you’ll ever read. That being said, I love the story so far.
In other news, hello TAY!! And Happy Birthday Shiggy!!
-
Yeah i started reading and i was like um what is this art. Then i kept going and seriously a awesome book. Then cakeman said that the nolan movies were nearly based on it with Clint Eastwood and i was LIKE BEST MOVIE EVER.. Alas. I got my comics yesterday to. I am suprised that travelling overseas they manage to stay in such good codition.
-
Clint Eastwood? Bloody hell, Batman is supposed to look old, not like a fucking walking corpse.

This was around 2000.

Did you know that she has the code?

Pretty sure I saw this film when it was called “Mercury Rising”
I think i may need to get Battlefield 3….
-
What a horrible… HORRIBLE page get…
I am a shame 🙁
-
Don’t do it Loops!!!
-
Could be worse.. i could be thinking about getting… *shudder*… CoD….

-
I wanna get Starhawk all of a sudden.
NO WALLET NO!-
Yeah, that looks pretty cool too!
WHY SO MANY GOOD LOOKING GAMES! -
I love the look of Starhawk more and more. Seriously, name another game where you can kill someone by dropping a building on them! 😀
-
Wizard of Oz
-
and for some reason I’m digging the western/sci-fi feel, matches the whole frontier aspect of the game
-
The game is primarily a multiplayer game so be aware of that before purchasing. Apparently the singleplayer isn’t all that. I might pick it up when it drops in price which I am sure it will do very quickly.
-
-
-
I should also get BF3… I think it’s a safe bet.
-
Safe to say I shall get better at puching that damned reply button too… safely.
-
just not on PC
-
PC BF3 is not safe?
-
no it’s just not worth the price IMO
-
PC is the cheapest platform yet it’s not worth the price?
-
He might also be talking about Origin.
Though I personally wouldn’t attach a price to it.

On a side note – WELCOME TO TAY!

Thank you sir. While the enemies of the Emperor still draw breath, there can be no peace.
Is the SM DLC worth getting?
-
Yes and no.
The extra modes are pretty awesome-sauce.
Dreadnaught assault is just AMAZING.BUT finding games can be a real hassle, especially finding ones that are stable.
-
I don’t think I’ve welcomed you yet.
WELCOME! Please leave your shoes, pants and sanity at the door.
-
Thankyou good sir.
I don’t feel very SAFE without my pants though.
She has the code… he is the key…

you guys are really defeating the purpose of the adblocker I have installed right now 😛

But Chastity Belt is being hailed as the Donkey-Punch knockout of the season!

I think that Safe has now become a meme. Or something.

AN EXHILARATING ACTION PICTURE
“The SAFE is on top form.” – Jason Statham
So I went to grab some $1 Pixel Junk games last night (US account) and what did I find? A pack of 3 games for $2! that’s right! I saved a $1! So I spent $3 for 4 games. Given the exchange rate when I bought my card, less than AU$3!
There is a Pixel Junk sale on the EU store, but it works out at around $6 per game.
Silly liquid. You are meant to come out of the wee wee hole, not the poo poo hole.
-
Have you been eating the Scorpion Strike chilli sauce too? That made my poo like water. It was even clear-ish. It may have been some sort of mucus expulsion. If that was the case, I dread to think about what that stuff did to my insides.
Remember to drink plenty fluids! 7 Eleven is doing an electrolyte powerade-type slurpee. That would be refreshingly icy AND help get back all those pesky inonic particles currently escaping via your rectum.
A few days ago the door knob to my bedroom door broke off in my hand, leaving me trapped in my room until my Mum came and opened the door. She’s not home right now and out of instinct I just closed the door when I entered my bedroom. It looks like I’ll have to climb out the window to get out of here.
-
At least your mum didn’t walk in to find your knob in your hand.
-
heh
-
-
Kick the door down!
I don’t want to alarm anyone…
But when was the last time anyone saw Josephine??
I have reason to fear that she may be dead…..
Or… Severely Shellshocked….
-
Maybe she has my Severe Lady Diahorrea.
-
Tracey took her. To be fair, with Tracey gone, nothing would be sent out anyway 😛
-
soooooo… Tracey rode Josephine all the way to Canada?
I’m nto going to lie – that’s awesome.
-
Tracey went to Canada too?
Or are you confusing Asian ladies. 😛
-
Tracey didn’t go to Canada…that was Elly.
And yes, I think with Tracey gone Josephine has noone to look after her and has probably carked it. 😛
-
-
Guy – what are your thoughts on this?
http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/05/xbox-minecraft-locks-some-players-out-of-its-biggest-new-feature/#comments
I’ve left my 2bob.. just interested to see where others stand on this.
-
I think you missed the point.
It’s justifiable because some people don’t have HDTVs and there is a well advertised component of the game that doesn’t work without one and at no point was anyone told that this was the case.
the split screen is the reason some people bought the game in the first place.
-
Its the reason i plan to buy the game in the first place.
-
-
I still mostly play my PS3 on an SDTV.
True story.-
Haha, “SDTV”.
CRT, even!
Aw yeah.-
TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBES!
-
THE ELECTRONS ARE BEING SHOT AT ME
-
Soon they will infect your mind and you will become a TV Robot!
-
-
-
Well, good thing I haven’t bought it yet then.
I think it really should have been clearly mentioned but still, you can buy a HDTV for less than a 360 :/
-
But people already have the 360. Just because the pricepoint is fairly low does not mean people can just afford to go lay another couple hundred bucks on another TV just to play Minecraft in split-screen.
I’m not liking the way a lot of people in the comments are just yelling “get a new TV, why the hell don’t you have a HDTV anyway, they’re so cheap?”.
Not everyone can afford that even though they are cheaper than they’ve ever been. Sometimes people can only barely afford something like the 360, and it’s a treat for them. Same goes for the game. Someone may be scraping to make ends meet and get Minecraft for themselves/their family as a rare splurge of cash and then discover that the most talked about feature of the game will not work on what they have available to them. Even $20 a week is an astronomical amount for some people. I know I certainly don’t have that much spare to save for a new TV, and ours has a really annoying line going up the middle of the screen due to delamination.
The main problem is that this was one of the selling-points of the game’s 360 release and wasn’t ever mentioned that it would only be available in HD.
Oh, and I’ve had a 360 since launch that has never been hooked up with a HDMI cable, just component. I think a lot of people with older 360s would be the same because there was no packed -in HDMI cable.
So yeah, I think people are judging others on their own lives without realising everyone’s circumstances are different.
-
Hi5
I play games on a CRT television. I don’t own any other kind of TV. Then again, I don’t own a 360, so this doesn’t affect me. However, the general attitude of the people commenting pisses me off. Not everyone can afford or justify purchasing a new television, regardless of price.
Then to assume that everyone received the $900 or whatever it was that was handed out a few years ago is naive. I didn’t qualify for it. A kiwi I worked with, who earned twice my salary, did.
I can afford a new TV, quite easily, but I have yet to justified the purchase.
In the end, ignoring the arrogance of many of the commenters, the fact remains (as pointed out by Shane):
“If the game requires hardware in excess of the console, this should always be made clear to buyers prior to purchase.”
Also SAFE
Did these things appear last week or start on Monday? Did I start some sort of meme?

-
You started it, buddy.
It’s all your doing!It’s no longer SAFE to travel TAY
-
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFE
-
-
What’s SAFE? It’s definitely not my toilet.
In the end, at least we’re all… SAFE.
Just found a huntsmen in a stack of tubs i was moving at work…
…Proceed, then, to utterly shit myself.
-
fuck it – i’m locking up for a few minutes and going to the shop to get some bug spray
-
Use your boot!
-
bug spray just makes em angry.
I know what you mean though. Every time I see any spider, I freak out a bit. Knowing that (with the exception of funnel webs) they’re not overly dangerous or aggressive doesn’t help.
spiders are just weird & creepy.
-
-
Huntsman spiders are harmless, mang.
Catch ‘im and let them go frolic outside.-
very true.
the only spider that I will kill without a second thought are funnel webs.
everything else can stay where it is, or get moved outside.-
You let them stay? What is wrong with you? I see a spider and I start crying and running away.
-
only if they’re not anywhere near I plan on going in the next few days.
If they’re above my bed for example, they’re gonna be escorted from the premises immediately. -
So really, since you’re too busy curled up in a corner to do anything, you indirectly let them stay.
Human and spider sharehouse! -
I’ve let them ‘have’ the room before and sleep on the couch for…4 days or so.
-
-
-
Huntsman get put outside
White tails get crushed
Daddy Long Legs stay where they are-
Daddy Long Legs are creepy though!
-
So are the spiders with the same name
-
Daddy long legs are the most uncoordinated mass of legs ever. just watch one try & run. they get all tangled up & its a a bit tragically funny.
-
-
Or catch him and pull his legs off one by one and watch as he struggles and writhes…
What? Why is everyone looking at me like that!?
So that’s what that smell is…
Hi TAY!
I’m totally alive, I swear!
Started playing Bastion last night ( I’m not late to the party, I swear!) and like what I’ve seen so far. MY only major concern is that with a fully upgraded bow I’m having a hard time NOT beating the crap out of everyone. If they get close I just counter and use the machete to DoT, then dodge and fire.
Also, I will personally high five anyone who gives Champions Online a go at some point soon. Custom super heroes, F2P (only major limit is some costume parts and some power choices), and surprisingly fun quests.
-
I need to get back into bastion i think i got up to the part. Where i had all of the core and then that other thing happened. I struggle sometimes but i think i just needed to upgrade the right things. I was mainly using the shotgun. But i was having fun.
Started rewatching Breaking Bad last night. Got through the first two episodes.
Best decision.
-
Awesome show. All seasons are fantastic.
The newest show I’ve been watching is HBO’s Girls. The show has a weird awkwardness to it, which I’m enjoying.
HAI LT HELI!
Welcome to the MAD HOUSE *cackles*
-
HEIL HYDRA!

AMERICA F YEAH

Pooping through an eye of a needle high five!

Oh hai!!
Must load more trucks… /sadpanda

-
-
I guess I’ll join in on all the fun.
In honour of SAFE Day I suggest we all visit the Wikipedia page for Safe and find out about all the different safes. Is safe a film, is it a storage box? Who knows?
Enlighten yourself this SAFE DAY!
So amazingly enough, i was able to have MK games with a few of the TAYbies without the need for any US accounts, Online codes or server switches. Me and #35 pretty much just clicked online private match and fought each other. I expected to jump through a million hoops to get that game to work at all.
-
Speak for yourself.
-
Well, we did end up having a few games. But yeah, i don’t know what the deal was yesterday. It should have just worked instantly.
-
-
When I first tried finding a game, I was getting the same ‘cannot connect to server’ error that Freeze was getting.
But when you sent that invite, I got through with no problems… But i did read somewhere that some ISPs (such as TPG) have blocked it, while others haven’t. Which ISP are you guys running with if you dont mind me asking?
HUntsmen Defeated!
+20 xp!
you found the ‘girly fear’
-1 man card
Last huntsmen we had at home i caught and took it outside – just this one was right under the handle of the tub, meaning i would have had to phsyically touch it – which is just something i didn’t want to do.
Spiders normally don’t phase me – just huntsmen, being so big, usually startle me.
But yes, i am a big advocate of Daddy Long legs and jumping spiders stay, all nasty spiders get squashed and save huntsmen whenever you can.
-
Did you use the boot?
-
that i surely did
-
High five!
o/
-
-
-
Spiders…jump?
-
oh heck yeah. Some can leap quite a distance.
These ones are no bigger than your fingernail, though – and completely harmless

-
Doesn’t work 😛
-
HOTLINK.
😛
-
-
They do and it is freaking scary.
I am an advocate of brutally murdering all eight-legged monstrosities. But they freak me out too much to do it myself. -
Best not to think about it.
-
-
Jumping spiders are so cool 😀
But I hate it when they surprise you and just jump in your general direction when you least expect it…
RE: Safe Discussion
I have theorised that the only safe way to watch SAFE is in the safe confines of a locked safe…
With two eyeholes drilled out, of course.
@Lt HELI
re: Witcher 2
If you get set on fire, activate the Quen sign (the shield one). It negates all damage-over-time effects without wasting the cast.
-
Hmmm… I tried that, but it didn’t stop the roasting.
Getting set on fire from the bonfire seems to be different than being struck by a fireball. If anywhere near 1/3 health = fubar.Are you playing on hard?
@Ruffleberg
DARK KNIGHT RETURNS IS AWESOME. That is all.
-
This. But don’t get the sequel. It truly blows.
-
Everyone has said that, i’ll probably skip it.
-
Getting hyped for MechWarrior Online. I’ve decided I will need a new joystick (RIP Sidewinder 3D Pro). Suggestions?
-
Logitech extreme 3D pro!
I have just realized that the Dick Smith stores in Geelong are closing down… by which I mean the one in the city next to the shopping centre and the one next to the pie shop.
Wow.
This sucks a little bit.
-
On the plus side: clearance sale!
-
On the other plus side: pie shop!
-
-
Uh… okay?
-
Move closer to Melbourne! YEAHHHHHHHHHHH
Someone in the Minecraft article is trying to say it would cost more than $2000 for a HDTV that outperforms their SDTV.
I have my doubts. Someone is a little too attached to their initial premium purchase.
-
People are so stupid…
-
Yes and no.
I’m an advocate of paying a little more if it means you get a quality product with a decent warranty. We paid $2400 for our HDTV (though it came with a free smaller HDTV as well), and it came with a three year warranty. Good thing, too, because it’s already needed to be replaced once. New TV for free, warranty period starts again.
-
While I’m definitely in favour of paying more for something that you’re planning on using a lot over a long period of time, the point is that an old CRT TV is very unlikely to be comparable in quality to most HDTVs, let alone a premium one.
-
-
A couple of months before HD was a huge thing I put myself into debt to buy a 76cm widescreen SD flatscreen TV.I never regretted it, even though LCDs and HDTVs started becoming more affordable soon after. I loved that thing so much because I’d had to work so hard to pay it off. Sometimes people get attached to expensive purchases because of everything they had to give up to get them.
-
Heh, they don’t know about the 42″ Full HD Sony Bravia you can pick up at DSE for around 700 bucks… Morons. Can you even spend 2 grand on a reasonable sized HDTV now? For that price you’re gettin like 55″ + and that’s a little too big imo, well it is for our loungeroom.
-
Go the 42″ Bravia! 🙂 I paid 1500 back in the day, great TV… oh and CRT users? still? damn… I was hooking my xbox up to a 24″ monitor via VGA before I got my HDTV.
I recently took my old 47″ CRT to the tip… I seriously could not even give it away to anyone, no one wanted it.
-
-
Well, Cheesus agreed with me. I guess that’s it…
-
Not everyone qualified for the stimulus package.
-
I meant, “If whatever thoughts tumble out of my head are the sort that Cheesus just flat out agrees with, without any sort of rebuttal, then: welp, I’m done for!”
I know not everyone was stimulated my Kaptain K. Rudd. I know some ingrates that qualified for both packages.
Although, regardless, the digital rollout does finish in 2013, so there will be a day soon where no digital tuner = no tv for about 95% of the country. So my argument that people should be acquiring “the HDs” in preparation for Operation: “Welcome to the future, Australia” is still valid.
-
I watch television on my CRT TV via Play TV on my PS3.
I’m prep’d.
-
-
-
I’ve been a bit depressed this morning…until I curled up on the lounge and began Shadow of the Colossus in HD(thanks to BDKIAF). I’m up to the second Colossus and I am no longer depressed. A little frustrated, but definitely not depressed.:P
I almost forgot how beautiful the game is, and even though I’ve played the first half before, the sense of wonder is still there.
-
Everything okay?
-
Yeah, just a combination of stress and tiredness and lack of motivation all overwhelming me this morning when the day didn’t go as planned. All good now though. 😀
Thanks for asking. *hugs*
-
Busy morning.
I hope everyone is staying safe.
-
Or staying inside a safe, which would be even safer… if you drilled out holes for oxygen and bought in some food and supplies.
-
Is this why Dire Wolf locked himself in his bedroom? 😛
-
I dunno, it depends whether a bedroom is safer than a safe…..
-
Well, I did have my brunch with me, plus some Easter Eggs sitting on the shelf, so I could have stayed in there for a couple days with careful rationing, safe from the horrors of the outside world. Going to the bathroom might have been awkward though…

I put it on my alarm playlist. I just lay in bed listening to both versions of the Bad Horse Chorus, singing along. More mornings need to start like this. But not too many, otherwise i might get sick of the song, which would make me sad.
I should do homework.
But I just bought a parker jotter pencil to go with my pen. And I totally didn’t type penicl into the search bar.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY THE CRACKS!

Too late by one minute, Blaghsy.

Dem udraw tabs are getting pretty damn cheap now too!
-
Udraw tablets? Nah.
I just don’t see what the appeal of it is.
Better off getting a USB Tablet for your computer and using that instead.-
You could use the pen to gouge your eyes out!
-
A chopstick could do it for less money!
-
-
I got my daughter a 360 one for Christmas. She’s drawn some pretty awesome stuff with it.
But yeah, they’re definitely marketed more to kids considering the program that comes with it has things like colour by numbers and making jigsaw puzzles from your pictures….

-
Did everyone get that “Here’s 5000 coints for your account just because we felt like it” email? By the time I’m able to get Xenoblade I’ll almost get it for free if they keep doing that. 😀
-
Yep – i got it too 😀
-
What are “coints”?
Are they coins, or are they something else?-
My son called ‘coins’ and ‘points’ coints when he was 2. He thought they were the same thing for a while there. 😛
-
-
Yep!
-
Wait, what? Time to check my emails…
-
YAY! Free $5!
-
Win! \o/
-
How? D:
-
Everyone got a free 5000 points – redeemable for a $5 voucher.
-
Oh no way, me too 😀
I haven’t bought from them in a while so I assumed only regular customers would get it. Been a while since I’ve really purchased games from them and most of them were before player points were introduced :P.
-
-
-
Oh thanks for reminding me!
Collecting mah points now 🙂
Just had the best idea.
Joss Whedon should do a new TV show. With Neil Patrick Harris as the lead.
Which means that How I Met Your Mother will have to finally wrap everything up. No more stagnation, just end the damn thing already. It’s win/win!
Until Fox cancels it.
-
Or we could have one where Nicholas Cage tries to walk across hot coals whilst dodging flaming arrows.
-
But I wanna see Dr Horrible 2!
-
I didn’t know what Dr.Horrible and all that stuff above was 😛
I’m guessing I should probably download/watch this?
-
Yes.
It’s up on YouTube. Fairly sure that’s how it was first released. About 45 minutes long.
-
-
-
Could you imagine if your parents actually spent years explaining how they met your mother in real life?
My god.. you’d just end yourself… or them…How i met your mother: the real life version:
Well kids, i was at a titty bar in downtown LA when i first saw her – most perfect tits i’d ever seen. So i slipper her a hunge and we got to talking. Later that night we left and had sinful sex all over the back seat of my car, and she got knocked up with you – so she had to quit her job and we got married.-
You, uh, really need to work on your dad stories.
That stuff is going to traumatise your kids.
Definitely not in a hilarious way, either.-
Ruin their minds early, before anyone else gets the fun – that’s the plan!
-
-
I lost it at “slip her a hunge”.
-
I think I am spending too much time on TAY and it is killing my ability to do work…..
🙁
-
I think everyone here is in that boat.
AllPosters, The site where I got my South Park poster from , is having a 20% off storewide sale.
It ends Friday, so if you’re interested, check it out.

He is in a movie. It’s called LA Noire Gangster Squad
Synopsis: A chronicle of the LAPD’s fight to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 50s.

When is it coming out?!
Must see it!-
Sometime soon! Probably wont be until a while later though 🙁
-
November 1st, if IMDB is to be believed.

-
I don’t understand Ryan Gosling.
I guess Sughly has a big enough of a man crush on him for us both though.

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING

I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU KEEP EATING THINGS IN CITIES I DO NOT LIVE IN

Hi5 Bishy!

I’ve never understood all the guys and girls sighing dreamily over him.-
We will have all the high fives today!
\o -
He seems pretty cool but never in dreamy territory.
-
-
Right on.

Also the movie poster:

just posting a comment to make TAY update.
umm… so them games eh?
also SAFE – an exhilerating action picture, or so I understand.
-
If there was any desire for me to see ‘SAFE’ at all, it’s been absolutely fucking destroyed by the advertising at this point. Not saying that’s a bad thing – can’t say it ever really interested me, but my God, the advertising on Kotaku can be so obnoxious at times.
Yes, I’m aware it’s necessary and I acknowledge that, but holy shit – could they do it a little more subtle?
‘The Stath’ and that little girl are like fucking burned into a section of my eyes.-
To clarify and partially apologise for my rant, I am sitting at work soak testing a new transmitter and paging setup. I have a pager that’s going off next to me every 60 seconds. Holy shit I’m going to break something soon. It has to go for the rest of the day and tomorrow to be certain it works.
I’m sorry, Mr Statham. Please don’t look at me like that.
He looks so….. disappointed.
-
no, I totally agree. I’m in no way interested in seeing that movie & the advertising is stupidly omnipresent.
-
Sorry but I am part of the problem
I knew nothing about the film (didn’t even know it was coming out) but now I have watched the trailer and would be interested in watching it. After all it does pack a punch -
The Stath is in top form.
-
-
-
-
It could be worse. We could have blinding yellow Dick back.
I’ll take The Stath over Dick any day.
-
I think it’s only bothersome because of the amount of time we addicts spend at Kotaku. Most normal people wouldn’t see it enough for it to bother them.
@Strange: I didn’t get any points:( and I’ve spent over $1000 with them since December. Tight arses.
@Shane: out TV we got recently was $3200. Probably didn’t need that fancy a TV but it doesn’t have a frame around the screen and weighs next to nothing. Also has less then half the power usage of our old one.
-
That sucks! You sure the email isn’t in Spam or anything?
-
Hi5! I didn’t get any points either! I mean, wait, low5! 🙁
-
Maybe it’s because you have all the points already, you point hoarder.
-
Are you sure? Just log in your account and you should have 5000 points. The email said all accounts got them so surely you (and lambo/others) should have gotten them.
-
I also did not get any points.
oh man, i couldn’t stop laughing at this, seriously
-
Hahahaha
Gah! I need to de-stress… how do I do it?!
-
Dear Crazyguy,
The best way would be to find a nice sharp coat hanger and insert up your nose. Keep pushing until you locate the center of your Limbic system then give it a stir. You’ll feel much calmer and the ladies adore brain surgeons.
Uncle Freeze
-
I don’t like sharp things, and I don’t like things being stuck into my body. Especially sharp ones.
This is why I have a fear of needles.
Anything else?
-
-
Watch SAF…
nah.
What is all this SAFE stuff people keep talking about?
-
Temporarily pause AdBlock, refresh page, turn it immediately on again.
-
Crappy picture ad that’s at the top of the page? It’s not as if they’ve made the background all yellow or anything like that other time?
Or does shit get intense if I also enable Flash? I have all plugins disabled by default, require manually enabling them for anything to run.
-
Don’t forget to check the main page for the small banner on each article
Also there is a flash ad that follows the scroll down. If has a picture of Stath looking dissapointed in Ynefel
-
-
-
if you are being serious, then i think you have ad block plus then 😛
-
Sex.
An exhilarating action picture! Personally, I’d say it’s Statham at his best.
-
Oooooh! took me a while to get that one lol
Any other TAYbies planning on trying out The Secret World when it launches in June?
I’ve been following the game on and off for a couple years now but with the release date so close I’ve really been looking into it, watching gameplay videos on youtube, looking on the forums and playing The Secret War game etc. It looks quite interesting. The modern setting combined with no classes is quite appealing. Also, it’s mature. There’s a quest/event in the game that takes place in the past and each society accesses it through a different way. Templars get teleported there by a crazy, old prophet on the street, Illuminati get strapped down by a mad doctor and pumped full of drugs and Dragon get oral sex performed on them by an attractive woman. I love that stuff like that is going to be in this game, especially since it’s an mmo and they normally get drastically toned down so they can sell the game to as many people as possible.
@Doc What? and others (about PixelJunk talk on other page)
What a pathetic joke of a “sale” on the AUS PSN… Just went on the PS3 and saw the prices, it’s like a giant punch in the face :'(
Oh well I guess I won’t be getting these but it’s not like I desperately need them since I’ve gone this far without them but damnit it would’ve only cost me a couple of dollars!
@people who know (possibly NegZero, Ynefel, Masha, Doc again?)
I have about $20 in my PayPal account. What intervals do the US PSN cards go to (I’m looking for maybe a $10-15 one) and where would be the best place to buy it using PayPal? Neg has previously stated BestBuy if I have a credit card but I haven’t checked them out yet and I’m not sure if they’ll take PayPal. If I do purchase them only I’ll need the codes pretty quickly before the sale ends.
I wants me some cheap Eden/Shooter and possibly Shooter 2 :(. Any thoughts on these as well?
Thanks in advance.
-
BestBuy don’t take Paypal for international purchases sadly.
$20 isn’t enough, because anywhere else will charge you $20 for the $20 card, then about $5-8 for ‘activating’ the card (read: sending you a scan of the code)
-
Personally I haven’t bothered b/c I own Eden already (thought it was crap personally – interesting concept but awful game design with the time limit and frustratingly bad controls), am uninterested in Shooter and as for Monsters, tower defense can die in a blazing inferno.
-
Can anyone actually clarify how to purchase PSN cards digitally from BestBuy? I hear it’s possible, but every time I look into it, there only ever appears to be physical delivery available. I’ve heard tell they charge $20 for a $20 card, even digitally.
Ben paying $5-$10 more than card value for digital delivery in most cases. Used to use PlayAsia, but they’re now officially bastards in my book, and they charge US$61 for a US$50 PSN card. =( Best I’ve found is about $56-$58 from places like maximuscards and pcgamesupply.
-
If I recall NegZero said $50 was a $50 US PSN card from BestBuy if you use a credit card.
-
You create an account and you put their special magic address for international orders in as your billing address:
10780 KEMPWOOD DR
HOUSTON, TX, 77043 USAAnd then your CC details. Paypal not possible for international orders (I’ve tried). Takes ~24 hours, sometimes more, sometimes less, varies a fair bit (I think they do it manually) but they’ll eventually email you the code. Costs $50 US, no extra fees.
-
IMO not worth the hassle unless you’re getting the larger code, $20 feels like a drop in the ocean.
-
-
-
-
I went to Dungeon Crawl and bought a $20 US PSN card for $23ish? $25? Wouldn’t have been more than $25. I picked up journey and a bunch of the pixeljunk games with said monies.
-
That’s pretty good – digital delivery?
-
No, I just went to their Melbourne store. Maybe their online store has it as well? Haven’t checked.
-
@greenius
I don’t have a credit card so I don’t use Best buy. If you want to pay with PayPal you can go to pcgamesupply.com. They charge an activation fee but I usually find the savings worth it.For a $10 card they charge 2.99
For a $20 card they charge 4.99
For a $50 card they charge $6.99To make the activation fee a bit palatable the best option is to buy a $20 or $50 card and keep the money in your account for future games.

-
-
ACK!
I just ctrl-tabbed back to TAY, and the screen was black apart from the SAFE ad /o\
But then everything returned to normal.
Still, creepy as hell seeing only The Stath and a little girl in an orange box…
So my neighbours who live in an apartment building opposite to me (2nd floor) always hang meat outside their window – there is a walkway underneath. Today there are 10 separate chunks of raw red meat hanging up. A) I’m scared it’s ‘lost’ neighbourhood pets and B) Should you even be doing that?
-
Got a BB gun?
-
Steal it, cook it, eat it, post analysis of animal content.
-
Yuck but at least they are keeping it in their own area. I used to live at a place where they would use the clothes line, the communal clothes line.
Rather off putting when you go out to hang a load of washing on the line and find meat hanging from it.
Not sure what was more off putting ,that or the time I went out to find some guy stealing panties off the clothes line-
Oh, communal clothes lines are fun.
-
-
I’m pretty sure that’d be breaching multiple health & sanitation laws. Might be worth a call to the local council. If they think they can

Dinosaur games resurgence? I hope so.
http://www.primalcarnage.com/website/
If they can make that balanced & continue with post-launch support, I dont think I’ll even need another multiplayer shooter.
Related – did anyone else try that absolutely shite game Orion : Dino Beatdown?
concept had potential, but the game was buggy as hell & generally rubbish.
-
Clicked, saw man-sized raptor with no feathers. Closed tab.
I blame Spielberg.
-
what are you? some kind of paleontologist? 😛
I managed to overlook the (many) liberties they took with accuracy, coz TEAM DEATHMATCH WITH DINOSAURS!
-
actually, it would be pretty damn cool if you were some kind of paleontologist.
-
I’m just a science nerd and when things are flat out wrong like that it utterly kills it for me. Put them in cars, add jetpacks, I don’t care as long as the velociraptor is the size of a turkey and has feathers.
Offroad Raptor Safari was the only Dinosaur game to get it right.
-
-
-
If there’s one thing the world needs more of, it’s games featuring Dinosaurs. This looks awesome.
Hahaha, my son’s watching me play Shadow of the Colossus: “Don’t climb the monster, Mummy. He’s not a ladder! People don’t don’t climb monsters, just ladders.” 😀
-
The colossus is just sitting there minding its own business, not harming anyone and then you climb up its fur and stab it to death. 🙁
-
I know! I’ve managed to go this long without spoilers(apart from the horse thing) but I’m assuming what I’m doing to the colossi is a Very Bad Thing. 🙁
Also, I was laughing so hard at my son’s ladder remark that I fell off the colossus. 😛
-
-
Your children are amazing. You have succeeded at life.
-
I think so. Which is good considering having kids is the only thing I’ve done with my life. 😛
The other thing he said which made me feel bad was “Don’t kill the lizard, mummy! He’s not a bad guy, he’s just a baby. And babies should be able to move. Let him move, Mummy!”.
-
-
Well that’s just brightened my day, thanks Strange and Mini Mr Strange
-
My kids are very good at day-brightening. 😀
-
-
If you actually think about it, the game is a pretty damn good guilt trip.
-
Yup. Which is why I’m going to try not to play it while my son’s around anymore. 😛
I feel guilty enough even without his comments.

I havn’t played this since they introduced the hunger/stamina crap.
Unfortunately one of the subsequent updates has apparently made the game unplayable on this old work laptop.

Looking at the gameplay footage I have one request, allow an option for camera bobbing.
I understand that it would be distracting for most players, but a little but of camera sway would make that in-cockpit feel perfect-
I would be down with that.

Stupid uni. Had to watch that without sound.
So glorious.
I really need to buy a joystick now.
Making essays fun or enjoyable is very difficult to accomplish, but I may have figured out a way to at least make them seem occasionally epic. I threw all of my video game soundtracks into a playlist and hit shuffle. Things almost get exciting when Ezio’s escape theme from Brotherhood starts playing as you finish off a paragraph.
In related news, today sucks.
-
Reward yourself with an hour of games for every sentence you successfully write.
-
As the essay is due tomorrow, that may cause problems.
But I like how you think. Video games ARE good rewards…
-
Such good rewards that I reward myself first before finishing the essay 😀
Good times!

Someone on /r/starcraft was a bit annoyed at the “just do X and you’ll get out of bronze” type comments. So he mockingly said “just make a barracks and rally marines into their base, one at a time”.
Got to say, I’m tempted to do it just to see what happens. It’s bronze league, what’s the worst that could happen, I lose? Ha! Losing doesn’t mean much if you’re doing something as derpy as this.
-
Do it. Record the rage response if you actually succeed.
-
The funny thing is that it’s been so long since I played, I need to redo my placement matches. Which means that I can just autolose them to get placed in Bronze and try this out.
-
-
I did that once in SC1.
I saw a big army stationed waiting my base so while I prepared some carriers to flank the base I set a rally point to the army and just spammed the build zealot command. Figured the zealots would keep the army distracted.
Went about my business with the carriers, after a few minutes I checked to see if the army was still distracted and all that was left was one zealot with half health.

Far too sophisticated compared to my plan.
Make a barracks.
Make marines.
-
i make marine ._.

Screw your marines and their guns.

-
As a fellow Brotoss, if this works I think I’ll be forced to forever bitch about marines being OP.
-
-
Now that I’ve mentioned it, the idea of dumping myself into Bronze and then just trying any of the ridiculous strategies I’ve seen suggested to get out of there seems like fun.
@Harli: HI HARLI! o/

HI CAKESMITH!!!!
Damnit I spent ages typing out a comment but the link makes TAY keep eating it…
-
So basically can you please all help me out by filling in this super quick survey? I need it for a group assignment due this Wednesday and my group and I are supposed to analyse the results and comment on it. We’re hypothesising that local students approaching their final year are more likely to use a job seeking website, specifically SEEK. The survey is really basic and won’t take that long (like a minute tops) and it’s somewhat badly written :P. It’s supposed to be for university students but if you’re in university, been to university or just bored can you please fill it out?
The link is in my twitter which you can find from here https://twitter.com/#!/JoelGreenius
(please don’t eat this comment TAY)
Thank you very much and <3 YOU ALLLL!
-
Success!
Sorry if that comment was bit rushed, I wrote out a whole lot about it but the TAY monster ate it and now I’m sad that I had to re-type something similar again :'(
Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!
-
Tried to do survey… what do you pick for the Uni selections if you don’t go to Uni? Randoms?
-
Yeah I guess 😛 – Thanks for helping!
We’re “supposed” to ask people in person at the campus but that’s just going to take too long and annoy everyone.
(if anyone has any queries feel free to ask here or on Twitter)
-
OK, then… I am an international student (from uzbekistan) doing my 5th year post-grad in Business.
I feel smarter already.
-
-
-
Done! And I didn’t put any info of questionable integrity in too! 😛
-
-
For people looking through the twitter feed, here’s a direct link:
https://twitter.com/#!/JoelGreenius/status/200434104469168128
-
Thanks Doc! I tried to figure out how to do that myself but couldn’t find out how 😛
-
More info!
“We’re hypothesising that local students approaching their final year are more likely to use a job seeking website, specifically SEEK”
So basically we’re saying that local/domestic students are more likely to use and know of SEEK. The closer they are to their final year, the more likely they’re going to use SEEK to find a job while earlier year students might want to focus on their studies, rather than finding a job.
We’re also predicting that international students who might not have a grasp on English (most of the international students at my university are from Asia), are less likely to know of SEEK or other job seeking sites but are still more likely to search for them as they approach the end of their degree.
So if you’re filling it out for yourself just do it normally but if you’re not then just assume one of those roles; a local student who knows of SEEK or an international student who doesn’t really. Both of which are more likely to use job seeking websites as they finish their degrees.
Eh, again I’m sorry for all the spam but this assignment is due Wednesday and my group and I are so far behind :/. I’m not expecting very good marks for this at all…
-
Well it’s a good thing I entered “don’t know about seek” repeatedly because I ‘cough’ am from Uzbekistan… this should support your hypothesis.
I trust that you’ll keep my contribution SAFE?
Oh man. I thought Sektor was a pain in the ass to beat. Quan Chi can go lick a dead cat’s butt hole with his stupid repetitive teleport.

The Oar of Thorns!
Forged at the exact point of Magnetic North, by orphaned Eskimo daemons! It’s shaft; fashioned from the bones of a white orca! It’s spike-d paddle; crafted from the mystic metals of an ancient meteorite!
To paddle a kayak with the sacred Oar, is to travel across seas at ungodly speeds, unfathomable by common man!
A buttocks, when struck by The Oar of Thorns, is said to erupt with blue flame! Bleed for eight years! Disrupt electrical signals and attract small metal objects, such as paperclips and safety-pins!
Those who handle The Oar are forever changed! Their tormented minds; scarred by the horrors they have known! Horrors that go untold for eternity! For a mere mumbling of such dreadful tales explodes the minds of those who hear them!
Beware The Oar of Thorns!
THE GODS, THEMSELVES, FEAR IT!-
Yay ‘Flu!
-
Some say The Oar was once wielded by Soundwave of the Decepticons…
-
Reminds me of that time you replied to Plainview.
That comment (and his) were… um… “wow”. There’s really no words to describe them.

– If the comment is at the bottom of the page when you click “reply” the comment box will go above the page numbers
– For other comments above your box should pop up directly under the one you click “reply” too
– If a reply chain gets too long the “reply” button will disappear and you’ll just have to click “reply” to the one above in order to continue replying

I understand SAFE is Statham at his best.
So, I’m looking into buying a new TV because mine makes this annoying constant clicking/tapping noise all the time. I’ve never had to buy a TV before, always just have had hand-me-downs from other people so what should I be looking at getting LED, LCD, Plasma etc; Preferably something for someone on a students income AKA not much at all. I don’t mind if it’s not terribly big because I could always just use it as a computer monitor when I’m ready to upgrade TVs…right? I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW TECH STUFF WORKS.
-
No doubt someone in the Minecraft article will be keen to inform you of the bargains available.
-
HAHAHA /hi5’s your chest
(because you’re tall)-
*coughs*
-
-
-
Best bet is probably LCD cause it’s the cheapest of the bunch. LED isn’t much more than that, but plasma (in general) is a bit of a step up.
Having said that, LCD is still good quality. You’d also be surprised at the number of no-name brands that actually make decent stuff.-
-
I have a Soniq in my bedroom. It’s not great but never had any real issues with it. They say Full HD but it never looks it.
-
-
-
What’s your budget and what size would you want?
-
$200-$250. Size I’d probably say 40-50cm. I’m not looking for an ‘investment’ TV. Just something that’s decent that’ll let me play all my lovely games again.
-
With the move to widescreen, you need to get a bigger size than you used to, so I’d suggest going at about 55cm (22″).
-
I can’t vouch for their quality but the Dick Smith branded ones are pretty cheap.
-
We got the small DSE TV with inbuilt DVD player for my son’s room, and not only is the picture quality better than I expected but the DVD player is region free. Oh, and he managed to knock it off the shelf the first day it was in his room and it survived without a scratch. 😛
-
-
Had a look at http://www.kogan.com.au?
Heard they are not bad for the price.
-
22″ Full HD LED for $200? SCHWING! And it’ll only take me *does math* 2-3 months to save up for it. YAYAYAYAY
-
-
http://dicksmith.com.au/product/GE6603/dick-smith-high-definition-18-5-quot-lcd-tv-dvd
$115Going off what Strange says it could be worth looking at.
-
-
-
When you say not expensive what sort I budget are you looking at? I know JB have some half decent stuff for under a grand, I think I saw a LG 50″ LCD for about $550 last time I was there.
-
That’s a bit too rich for me. I earn $170 a week before board, food, travel etc; and I’m looking to get something sooner rather than later because I’m getting worried my current one is about to explode 😛
-
-
Buy one of the big brands – Sony, Samsung, Panasonic etc. You’re not saving money if you buy something else.
There are huge price jumps at certain sizes. TVs 32″ and smaller are all pretty similarly priced then there is a big jump and 36 to 46″ are all pretty similarly priced, then anything sort of 50″ and bigger is in a different price bracket again.
LCD is great for viewing in a bright room, and is more efficient. Plasma is generally cheaper if you get a very-large one, but will give off heat and use a lot of electricity. LED is the same as LCD but with greater energy efficiency and a slimmer profile.
-
~$300-$350 will get you a 1080p-capable HDTV around 24-26″, but not an amazing brand (TEAC or Soniq or Palsonic). If you’ve got a bit more to play with you can get Samsung, LG or Sony LCDs around the $500 mark which are around 32″.
Don’t buy anything that’s not ‘Full HD’. If you’re going to be using it to watch TV, aim for a built-in HD tuner (most TVs have this now). LED backlit stuff will set you back a lot more and are not worth it if you’re on a low budget. Plasma’s shitty unless it’s expensive so avoid.
Assuming you’re going to hook a console or PC up to it, aim for at least 1, ideally 2-3 HDMI ports.
-
Your other option is an actual PC monitor. I had a Dell 24″ for years that had every possible input available at the time and used to run all my consoles off it. Ran the 2x RCA audio out to a little switch box and from there to an adapter that converted it down to 3.5mm, and ran that into my PC’s sound card to use the same speakers. A bit laggy but it worked.

-
Try going to an ex-rental/floor model store, should knock off some $$. Make sure you give the product a good look over and check warranty first though
One of our photocopier technicians just came back from a job pissing himself laughing,
“What is so funny old bean?” I said
Still laughing he reaches into his toolkit and pulls out a piece of paper and hands it to me. I’m able to make out the words “this was stuck to the printer.” I read the note. Laughter takes hold.
Here’s a pro-tip for you office workers. If you drop a pen in the copier and put a note on it letting people know it’s not work, make sure you put enough spacing between the words. Especially if the note reads:
Pen is in the printer. Do not turn on.
-
Oh dear 😛
While we’re on illiterate co-workers, this was posted on our microwave:
“DO NOT USE SPARKING AND SMOKING”
So I wrote underneath
“What if I’m not sparking or smoking?” -
I’m amazed the writer of the note was able to compose himself enough to write a message while bleeding profusely from the crotch.
http://www.bigbrownbox.com.au/lcd-tvs/small-lcd-tvs/ 15.6″ LED/LCD here for $179 or around 30″ for <$300.
And yes you can use it as a PC monitor too.
-
…oh I fail so bad… and is not LED either, you don’t need LED, just costs more.

Holy crap I’ve been so busy this past two weeks I didn’t even realise we’ve got a new guy!

You remind me of a transformer I used to own as a kid, it was a helicopter with FIRE ACTION missile launchers.I’m PuppyLicks, I like fighting games, I suck at fighting games, I love both retro and modern games, I think robots and mechs are awesome and I think Mechwarrior is the absolute tits.
-
THIS is the helicopter I was talking about!
Oh internet, you’re amazing sometimes.

Vortex is the superior transformer helicopter. Combaticons <3
-
-
Hello to you sir! *makes transformer noise
I like lots of games, except CoD… I wonder why I didn’t recieve emails about the Mechwarrior online updates. Hmmm.
Nice to meet you *shoots fire action missles FASSSHOOOOM
-
I’m starting to like this guy
-
OH MY GOD HE COMES WITH SOUND EFFECTS!
-
-
-
-
You did something horrible to Reply’s mother didn’t you.
I think Max Payne 3 has just leaked onto the internet.
-
Bloody laptop…
It was for Xbox 360 and the size was 15gb, so it seems like a legit, unlegit copy.
-
You know what thoughty thought
He thought his toes where out of the covers so he got out of bed to tuck them in.Also i wouldn’t believe everything you read. Even if it did leak its not too likely that you will be able to get through the anti piracy measures right away.
-
I actually saw it on a torrent site.
-
-
ewww, I didn’t know he was putting out golden shower videos.
turns out he’s a deviant as well as an alcoholic
One tip, can someone please link the TAY link up top to this weeks TAY?
I naturally assume that it would take me here.
-
I can’t decide whether you’re Luke Plunkett, Numbers, Darth Vader’s son or someone else entirely. 😛
But anyway, nobody in here has the power to do what you’re asking.
-
Except Strange. But she won’t do it unless you clean your room and eat all your dinner.
-
How can ye have any pudding if ye dinnae eat your meat?
-
-
Take my word, i ain’t Luke Plunkett, Numbers, but being Vader’s son would be awesome but unfortunately i’m not.
Anyways, why would Plunkett post here, he only comes here to steal Marks articles.
-
-
Might want to post that somewhere else. It may go unnoticed by the powers that be.
-
Email mark dot serrels at alluremedia dot com dot au
-
Or hit him up @Serrels on Twitter
-
Restless legs are the worst.
-
:/
I was doing that as I read your post.
-
DANCE, DIRE WOLF, DANCE.
-
We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance
Well they’re are no friends of mine-
SAFEty dance.
Relevant.
-
^ This guy gets it.
-
-
-
-
especially when you are trying to sleep and you foot keeps bouncing.
-
Put a baby on your knee.
Baby will be entertained for hours.
Or until you get tired of babby on knee.-
And make sure it’s your own baby, or that you at least have permission.
-
Or that you’re able to take it without being caught.
-
-
-
Did you manage to escape yet?
-
Sadly, nope. I’ll be leaving class and walking to the bus stop soon though so hopefully it gets fixed along the way.
-
Oh. I thought you were locked in your room because the doorknob was broken. I guess you did manage to escape, then. \o/
-
Yep, climbed out the window.
-
And to explain my first reply to you, when you said escape, I assumed you meant escape from the horrors of restless legs.
-
-
-
My mam gets restless legs. It’s an actual condition.
@Lt HELI
Welcome to TAY! I was blamed for the great Minecraft server destruction of 2011. The server was being reset and I wanted to see things out with a bang! And a bucket of lava!
There was also a 12 year old and a donkey, but that’s another story…
-
They were dark times.
Just kidding, it was worth the fireworks. Not that I was there to witness it firsthand.
-
This happened again within the first 6hrs of the new server going live.
We are currently on world #2
-
Actually, I saw Steve-O in someone’s mine last night. He may or may not have been surrounded by flames.
-
I might up the world backup from every 24hrs to every 12hrs…
-
I deed nuzzink!
-
-
-
Hello o infamous one.
I take it there are no protective or backup mods then?
-
General rule of the server is: Don’t be a dick
World is backed up every 24hrs
-
-
Remember the big bush fire of 2011? It burned for weeeeks. Silly Q-bo, building his fireplace out of wood 😛
Extremely minor spoilers for a game few people will probably play.
Started playing Silent Hill Downpour and it is really annoying me. It is just full of questionable design decisions that could have been easily avoided. Examples
1) right at the start a tree falls over and the guy says “can’t go this way”. The tree is less than knee height.
2) First 15 mins had 8 jump scares. They stop being scary and start being annoying if you just keep throwing them out there.
3) about 5 mins in a person dies that had one line and 10 seconds of screen time. Okay. Fair Nuff. But the game makes such a huge deal of it as if it was your favourite character. Why the hell should I care.
4) I spent almost an half hour wandering around trying to figure out where to go. Turns out you have to jump down off a point that looks exactly the same as every other drop off in the game, none of which let you go over them. No indication at all that one part is different.
I’m sure there will be more as I progress. The art and environments are pretty sweet and sound design is great. Combat and movement feel good. They just dropped the ball on the design side.
-
Supposedly, it gets a lot better a few hours in. So uhh, keep on truckin’?
-
Oh, there’s also no wy to differentiate between an important item and just random crap to hit things with. I keep dropping decent weapons for crap because all you get is “X- Pick Up” with no further explanation.
-
That all sounds a bit shite.
Sounds like I’m better off just playing through Dead Space again.
Okay Melbournites there is a steak meat tomorrow. People who are already attending check your phone/inboxes. People whom are attending and I don’t have your details. Let me know.
-
Wow that’s very close to my old work location, okay I’ll be there!
-
steak.. /salivates

If only it wasn’t a 3.5hr drive to get there.
-
Is it worth making a booking? How many confirmed?
-
I think it’s 5 of us total. Will attempt to make a booking tonight
-
I’ll let you know tonight
I need toget permission…. see if Mrs Tigs wants to come
-
-
@Puppylicks
Pretty keen for MWO myself. Those new gameplay videos look epic. I love how lighter mechs look viable if played correctly too, will make for some interesting tactics instead of everyone loading up Assaults with as many PPC’s as possible (not that I’m against this). From my limited reading of the site I know the IS factions will be present but do you know if you can make up your own mercenary group? We can be the Killer Kotaku Krusaders!
-
I’d be way more excited for MWO if it wasn’t a free to play online multiplayer shooter. Competitive online stuff makes me angsty.
@greenius
REGARDING US PSN CARDS
I don’t have a credit card so I don’t use Best buy. If you want to pay with PayPal you can go to pcgamesupply.com. They charge an activation fee but I usually find the savings worth it.
For a $10 card they charge 2.99
For a $20 card they charge 4.99
For a $50 card they charge $6.99
To make the activation fee a bit palatable the best option is to buy a $20 or $50 card and keep the money in your account for future games.
-
Heya
Thanks masha and everyone else for the replies but it seems like a bit too much effort for games I don’t necessarily need that badly. I mainly wanted them because they were $1. A friend just surprise gifted me Eden on Steam as well, which was the one I mainly wanted.
Masha buy Journey!!!!!
-
It has to drop to $10 before I get it. That’s the sweet spot.
-
Okay. This “i maek marines” thing is going to happen. Tonight, I’m going to tank my five placement matches and then just rally a single barracks to my opponent’s main to see what happens.
But why stop there? I think I need other derpy ways to try and escape Bronze league, should this fail. I think the next step would be to mass Queens as Zerg. So many transfusions!
What else can I do?
-
Construct additional pylons?
-
I understood everything you just said and will nod vigourously in agreement.
-
cannon rush.
-
I don’t want to use something that we know actually does work.
-
Ah. Mass Hellions?
-
Mass Ravens? :p
-
Mass Vikings?
-
Mass Vikings!
-
I think those are potentially deadlier drops than medivacs and marines/marauders, cheaper too(I think)! Also, use mules at the back for repairing when you drop xD
-
Vikings cost 150 min + 75 gas. Marines are 50 min. Medivacs 100 min + 100 gas.
A medivac full of marines will be more cost effective than the equivalent supply worth of Vikings (yay for stimpacks!).
Marines also have a shorter build time, making them much more replaceable should you have to sacrifice your drop.
Vikings seem like a good idea but you’re always going to have spare marines. Spare vikings are a lot harder to come by.
-
True 🙁
-
-
-
Rush and take hands of the keyboard and mouse. I hear that is an accepted and admired strategy.
-
Someone already did that. Well, more precisely he went in and probe rushed every game in Bronze league, including telling his opponent that he was going to do it and how to prevent it.
Still had about a 50% win rate.
-
No no, play using only your feet and toes!
send your units out in alphabetical order rally in their base. one at first, then 2, 3, 5, 8…. just follow the fibocacci sequence, all the while typing haikus into the chat thing.
dunno how viable that is. never played SC…
-
actually, as above, but send out one unit at a time. gap between em is 1 second at first, then 2, 3, 5… etc.
-
omg someone should write a strat guide for this, i freaking lol’d
Just bought Alan Wake for $15 on GOG with all the freakin’ DLC. Not too shabby!
-
With all the DLC, you say?
Nice one. 🙂-
A whole lot of extra features too, no DRM — Remedy’s been very generous I think. (Plus GOG hints the Max Payne games are coming soon.)
-
No DRM?
Win-win.
-
-
*Sigh*…why is it that the chips I have always taste overcooked?
Whether they’re from a canteen or from the oven, they always taste overcooked.
🙁
-
You need a better chip guy. They’re not in geelong
Okay, has anyone used green man gaming before? Are they trustworthy? I was thinking of getting skyrim off them
-
Planning to import from Mars? It can’t be THAT bad here surely…
-
hhahaha
-
-
They are pretty cool guys. Most likely they’ll just email you a Steam key for Skyrim.
No fuss, no muss. -
I used them to get Deus Ex: Human Revolutions. Had no issues with them. They’re pretty good. I’d even go as far as to say they’re better than Steam because their prices are much more reasonable.
-
Never heard of them.
They look like a cross between Steam and JB Hi-Fi. -
I bought Skyrim off them, as well as Civ V. And Deus Ex HR. And Red Orchestra 2.
Emailed Steam keys every time, no fuss. Would use again.
-
Sorry, didn’t buy DHR off them actually. I got in on Steam before the region tax.
-
-
Bought Daysex from them, the steam key worked perfectly fine.
-
I tried to buy something from them once but got confused looking at my bank statement and thought I had paid when I hadn’t
Sent support request and they were prompt in reply which is the extent of my interactions -
I purchased Dude Sex: Huge Man Revulsion from them last year.
In this case I was purchasing a Steam Key which was emailed to me at launch – I think it actually turned up a day early, so i was able to preload the game.Seemed pretty legit.
I have Frontier Psychiatrist stuck in my head…. 😐
-
^”That boy needs therapy….”

^”That boy needs therapy….”

Psycho-sematic….

sometimes a parrot talks?

What does that mean?

and he also made false teeth

-
Open-plan offices are the worst thing. There’s so much damned noise in here from all the people chatting, I can’t concentrate on my job 🙁
-
Headphones! Or join in on the chatter!
Honestly, I’d much rather an open office than a cubicled one. Cubicles make me feel like a cog in a machine.
-
‘Open office’ includes cube farms. Anything where I can’t shut the door and drown out the noise is open by definition. We’ve got chest-height partitions between our cubes rather than higher ones. I’d rather have a series of small offices with maybe 2-3 people in each.
I could put headphones on but because of the open plan the assumption is that people can just walk up to you whenever and interrupt you with a conversation. Also I’m right by the corridor and outside a meeting room door and the door into our area, so people tend to stop right behind my desk and chat. 🙁
-
Also, my headphones are a shitty old Sony pair I’ve had for about eight years and the headband is broken so can’t wear them properly. And I can’t crank the sound loud enough to drown out the noise of everyone without disturbing people around me. Just because they do it to me doesn’t mean I should reciprocate.
-
You should totally invest in some decent ones. I have some Sennheiser HD 215’s and they were super useful when I was working and they’re useful now, at uni.
Also, that’s fair enough with the chatting bit. If I’m really busy I’ll kind of just sit down and avoid eye contact and just work. If they try and strike up a conversation I try to be polite and say I be busy, yo.
-
-
-
-
Headphones. And I’m pretty sure cute kitties with rabies are the worst thing.
-
Some people where I work tend to use headphones/earbuds to listen to music while they work (I don’t – I like being aware of sounds and stuff around me). Would that be acceptable where you work?
Hi guys,
Thinking about going and seeing a movie tonight. I’m leaning towards maybe something that packs a punch with high-adrenaline stunts and shoot-em-ups. It’d be nice if the key actors were on top form. I guess an exhilarating action picture would probably fit the bill.
Any safe bets on what to see?
-
the avengers
-
I think it would be safe to say that you may already know the safest answer.
-
Beauty and the Beast 3D
-
I NEED TO SEE THIS. I DON’T CARE IF I HAVE IT ON DVD.
-
Beauty and the Beast:
The ultimate stockholm syndrome story.Also 3D. Meh.
-
IT’S A TALE AS OLD AS TIME.
-
Up > Toy Story 1-3 > The Incredibles > The Lion King > Beauty and the Beast.
-
Aladdin was pretty reasonable too. Or at least I thought it was when I was a kid. Also Mulan.
-
Aladdin for me would be between Lion King and Beauty and the Beast but I thought I’d listed enough 😛
-
And presumably you’re only listing things Disney had a hand in otherwise it would go The Goonies > Hook > your list, right?
-
As I’ve never seen Hook I cannot comment. I do love The Goonies though.
-
-
Implying you don’t want to be kidnapped by a hulking beast man, if for no other reason than to have dinner presented by a French anthropomorphic candelabra.
-
This is what girls dream about.
-
-
No!
The start of Up was amazing but the rest was just kind of ok 😛
Song as old as rhyme,
The Beauty and the Beast.
BATTLESHIP!
Definitely the Five Year Engagement.
I usually just go with whichever has been advertised the most. Better safe than sorry.
Marley and me

I forgot to update TAY on my Kitty situation.
She’s not dying \o/ not yet, anyway.
She has a urinary tract infection /o\
Probably has been a problem off and on for months. Feel bad not to have really noticed until recently, I just assumed she was getting old since she’s pretty much batshit crazy, deaf, has hyperthyroidism and is nineteen years old.
Vet gave her a big whack of antibiotics, got to go back in two weeks for a second round since it’s hard to kill off completely. But hopefully she’ll be back on the mend \o/
-
That’s some promising news. Hopefully she gets better and enjoys her twilight years.
-
Is that why redartifice was making kitty jokes above, heartless man, heartless
Knowing what is wrong is half the battle so now it is just waiting for it to clear up
-
I think that’s coincidence and redartifice isn’t actually a huge asshole? 😛
-
Yes to the former, no to the latter. Sorry dude, didn’t know.
-
-
-
I hope your kitty gets better soon.
-
Some good news at least! Is UTI easily treatable in cats? Hope she has a speedy recovery. Give her a cuddle from me.
Affleck is amazing.
-
Can’t watch because plugins… have we seen this trailer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VxKfC77XAp8
Sooo funny.
-
I can’t get too excited about that because it’s guaranteed to make a butt load of cash.
It’ll be interesting to see how Seth MacFarlane directs though.
-
Yeah, I’m in two minds about it.
-
-
I opened that link and got a 15 second Youtube ad.
It was for Safe.
Freaky…
-
-
“Heh-heh, maybe they should call him Ben Ass-lick.”
Oh, Norlane.

I can’t see that picture. Comes up with a “referral denied” message.
I’m just going to assume it’s a picture of Batgirl.

DID SOMEONE SAY ‘CATS’?
-
DID SOMEONE SAY ‘BATS’!? /o\
-
DID SOMEONE SAY ‘HATS’?!
-
Hello. I came to talk. I’ve been thinking lately. About you and me. About what’s going to happen to us in the end. We’re going to kill each other, aren’t we? Perhaps you’ll kill me. Perhaps I’ll kill you. Perhaps sooner. Perhaps later.
-
Oh bats, you’re such a pessimist. Lighten up a bit! Get a life! Go craaaaazy! Believe me, it makes things sooo much more entertaining.
Also, your spandex may be to tight.
Ahahahahaha! -
Whoever is running these accounts, I love you.
-
Don’t you understand? I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t want either of us to end up killing the other. But we’re both running out of alternatives, and we both know it. Maybe it all hinges on tonight. Maybe this is our last chance to sort this whole bloody mess out. If you don’t take it, then we’re both locked onto a suicide course. Both of us. To the death. It doesn’t have to end like that. I don’t know what it was that bent your life out of shape, but who knows? Maybe I’ve been there too. Maybe I can help. We could work together. I could rehabilitate you. You needn’t be out there on the edge anymore. You needn’t be alone. We don’t have to kill each other. What do you say?
-

Best picture of me ever.
One more day left in the work week!
Tomorrow is the most important day of all!
Tomorrow… we go… to Phillip Island.*
*Not actually going to Phillip Island, though I would like to go there again.
-
I am an Island, I am an Isthmus…
I’m convinced that I’ve posted way too much in this TAY…
I just found I’ve got nearly six days of annual leave despite having taken a week off in April and three weeks last November \o/
My sister’s been encouraging me to visit her in Sydney, maybe I will.
-
Do it!
Help TAY, I keep throwing my wallet at the screen but nothing is happening

Gooo fooorr iitttt!!!!!!!

Put your money in the CD tray.
HI ALL!
I have nothing of interest to say.
Oh wait, yes I do!
I made $32 from Redbubble \o/
I spent half of it on Mum =P
-
Wooo! 😀
-
I was amazed. Pay rise! \o/
-
Damned right you should.
-
Sell more shirts for Xenoblade 😀
-
I will once I play the game. Just think, if I sold $100 worth, I could pick it up =D
-
-
But…but I worked so hard ;_;
-
-
Okay so I remember reading rumblings about plans for Serrels’ birthday but was anything concrete decided? I did hear something about doing it tomorrow, in which case I need to get some creativity going tonight, right?
It kind of scares me how out of the loop I feel when I don’t post in TAY for a while.
-
I sent mine in today and it’s horrible 😛
-
I’ve been working on a little somethin’ somethin’ today. Should have it finished tonight! \o/
-
No.
It’s not me singing “Born this way”
😛-
That still leaves a veritable wealth of Lady Gaga songs you could work with.
-
Yeah, but that’s the only one I know that’s slightly birthday related.
-
-
-
-
Sending mine in right now
-
Okay, so general consensus seems to be sending in stuff in time for Kudos tomorrow, then? Cheers, people. Will have to think up something tonight.
-
(People who’ve seen Nausicaa might maybe recognize this)
So I’m pleased that Bioshock infinite is going to be as good as it should be, but I’m a little peeved that my cosplay is going to be irrelevant.
-
People still know who Elizabeth is :P, I wouldn’t call it irrelevant!
BioShock is a pretty big series anyway so I’m sure people will know and recognise who you’re dressing as 🙂
-
Or think I’m one of the loli’s. *sigh*
-
Yeah mang, although Bioshock wasn’t for everyone, it’s a big name and Inifinite made a lot of people sit up and watch.
Your Elizabeth cosplay isn’t going to be any less relevant as, say, people who have already cosplayed Elizabeth just because it’s coming out in 2013.
No, maybe it’s not going to be on the forefront of everyones minds, but you do what you do because you enjoy it, not to appease people keen for a game coming in the next month.
-
-
What’s your cosplay for?
-
Manifest.
But even so, perfectionist. D=
-
-
I always see pre-release display and bioshock is super popular as of late. You’ll be fine 🙂
-
Pre-release cosplay damnit
-
It’s alright. Probably cause the guy in gametraders was like you’ll have to compete against those great Bioshock cosplays.
Self esteem -50 points-
I think he just means half naked boobalicious slutty ones 😛
-
-
-
Update on my Starcraft 2 shenanigans.
Rallying marines into someone’s base does not work. Even with two reactored Barracks. Probably need to do it with as many Barracks as I can afford for it to actually work, which would be something like 10 rax. More by the late game in some of these games I’ve played so far :p
-
Going to mass Vikings instead now. Seems like the natural choice.
-
Mass vikings also ineffective.
Terran clearly sucks.
-
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
-
Dang.
-
I agree.
-
-
Who’s this guy?
-
Judging by the quotation, I’d say its Mark Twain.
-
-
Glad to hear you’re SAFE.
-
Pez uses “Anonymous Pessimist”?
-
*insert fry image here*
-
Just watched Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
Without spoilers, in the end there is a new mission being described in the background about a terrorist organization called the Syndicate who has hacked the military’s communication network and now has control of the drone army.
Now where have I heard that recently.
-
I read the last bit about drones in Ewan McGregor’s voice (think reporting on Clone Army from Kamino in ep2). Hehe.
-
Dark Souls?
Have every intention of being productive.
Play hours of Harvest moon instead.
-
Winning!
-
OH MY GOD HOW IS YOUR FARM?
but seriously, which harvest moon?
I found the MC server to be extremely laggy so I’m off to some witchering.
-
Yeah, it’s been a bit like that. I think we’re switching servers tomorrow? Should be heaps better then.
Tony Abbot just can’t got over those boats, can he? What boats ever did to him as a child, I would like to know. 😛
-
Well… boats aren’t very SAFE you know.
-
Well, a boar brought him over to Australia from wherever it was he came from(yes, it was England, don’t care), so maybe he hates them because of that?
-
A boar? Really?
*Sigh*
boat*
-
THE MAGICAL WATER GALLOPING BOAR
-
Yes, and now Mum has decided she’s completely Australian now.
-
-
Probably a Truman Show thing.
Was told that his father tragically and horribly died in a boating accident so he would never venture on one himself. -
Maybe they stole his lollipop. He doesn’t have any problems with planes
Off to see Avengers tonight. Woo!
-
Lies! You’re going to see Safe, aren’t you!?
-
Still haven’t seen it 😛
:/
-
Me either. I’m waiting until my boyfriend has money again. I could always just go see it by myself and not tell him about it…
-
Silent hill downpour! Why must you be so expensive! /o\
-
I can’t play those games alone e_e
I finished reading my book that’s set before Bioshock. OH MAH GAWD. Still a lot of unanswered questions but I liked being able to experience the decline of Rapture from the perspective of the every man. It’s funny how I empathised with a few of the characters I thought were absolutely vile in the game. Nothing will ever make Cohen or Dr Steinmein less creepy though *shudders*
-
I was told about the book but I forgot the title. I would love to read it though
-
Bioshock: Rapture
-
-
OH, apparently the ideas that bioshock is based on is from a different book. My brother’s mate told me but I cannot remember the name.
I should look into getting this though -
Let me know if you remember what that book was. Sounds interesting.
-
I don’t think I will. And I can’t ask my brother as he won’t know. It’s possibly another book based on Ayn Rand’s ideas.
-
While not directly based on, it does have a huge influence from Atlas Shrugged, as well as links to stuff from Logan’s Run and 1984.
-
-
-
It occurs to me suddenly that cutting out pictures of Mark’s face and putting them on top of other things like a creepy scrapbook is, well… creepy.
Yet the result is hilarious.
-
Are you also designing a suit made of his flesh? THAT’D BE CREEPY.
-
oh man the thing I made is an abomination
-
-
:/
-
There’s more but I had some empty space so just put them in…
and uh…
yeah…
I can’t use PhotoShop so it’s all MS Paint :/
-
-
I, um…
Just gonna swivel to the side, pretend that never happened…
-
At least it’ll be memorable 😛
-
-
Ever thought of making a horror game Greenius?
-
No I have not 😛
-

-
I’m looking for funny images and finally came across his interview about the Sony hacks last year. Never watched it before…dat ending. Oh my god.
Also, I really want to see everybody else’s stuff!
-
I think you just laid eyes upon the infamous ‘Serrel’s Stare’. Did it feel as if he was gazing into the very depths of your soul?
-
It’s amazing. He looks straight into the camera and then goes…’yeah I’ll just swivel to the side a bit, pretend that never happened…’
-
-
-
The thing I’m making is borderline drug addict crazy. :3
Finished Witcher 2… so much bewbees and secks… it was awesome.
Now to start over on a different story line. I love how the small choices you make or even they way you handle conversations can have unforseen effects on the outcome of the story.
-
Sigh, so many games that I have to get on and play. I even own this one.

Not before Xenoblade!

Xenoblade.

I can always count on you guys to keep me on the right path

That’s what Xenoblade’s are for! 😀

Steam gift cards are coming. I know what I’m asking for for christmas this year.

Friends?

The more friends the merrier!

Can’t stop looking at nose drop

-
-
I… I think you’ve had enough…
-
Oooh don’t tell him that, he’ll smash your face in.
-
Or give you games!
-
In fact, it will be kind of like this:
-
-
-
OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME!
@Batgirl + Scree. The bioshock book you were talking about last page is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
-
nevermind. Blaghs already said the same thing.
(in a far more logical place to boot)-
Pshh, this isn’t a place for logic, how dare you say such a thing!
-
More logical is only relative to the absolutely retarded positioning of my reply 😛
-
Ehh, it’s entirely possible that they wouldn’t have looked back that far, thus making your reply more likely to be seen!
-
-
-
-
\o/ Thank you #35.
Now I just need to find a shop that sells it-
BookDepository 😀
-
More like…Book Suppository!
-
-
Try http://www.bookdepository.com
They have a ton of stuff, usually very cheap and free shipping anywhere in the world -
My recommendation is to not bother. Rand is… Well, yeah. It’s a rather “dense” book, and you have to deal with the completely crazy opinions being thrust in your face every sentence.
My 2 cents though.
-
Maybe I might actually go to a library then.
-
-
just a heads up – its quite possibly the worst book I’ve ever tried to read – gave up about half way through.
Rand just uses the pretense of fiction to write an incredibly self-indulgent explanation of her own philosophical ideas. if you’re looking for a novel, you might be better off giving it a miss, but if you’re ok with what amounts to an art majors’ thesis, go right ahead.
-
oh FFS. Blaghs! get out of my head!
especially since you seem to post what I’m thinking before i can :p-
I can’t help it man, it’s the Sean hive mind!

Wikipedia then?

here’s the XKCD crib notes

Only in Japan:

… … … Is it bad that I kind of want to play that game now?
-
LARP?
-
No. Because I had the same reaction. A sudden “I must experience this!” urge.
-
It’s the same as the Love Plus games. I don’t know why, but I kind of want to try one. Then scrub myself for hours on end…
-
Dude!
Save your money, Love Super Plus Plus DX 3DS edition is coming out soon I think.
-
-
FYI its a lot less pervy than you think it is.
-
-
-
That’d be so much better on the Vita with the rear touch panel & front touch screen!
@Powalen
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
…That’s what she said?
-
That’s a problem…
Greenius, you’ve got a problem but we want to help you. Just step away from the cow, ok? Nice and slowly now. No sudden movements
-
May or may not have spawned a bunch of cows in someone’s Northern castle.
-
Nooooooo! And you thought you wouldn’t find it. xD
-
Apparently there’s a map which I’ve never bothered to use 😛
I also found your pit of death/mine near the random village 🙂
-
-
-
Added a few more pictures from today and yesterday. Highlights include: Kitty! Love Shack, Harli, Rotting Meat Errywhere.
-
Awesome 😀
And wow, didn’t know paintings are different. Could you please take some pics of my painting rooms? I wonder what they look like with your texture pack. Powalen mentioned having different pics too :).
-
done!
-
-
Bahaha! All the rotten meat in my hot tub!
-
that’s a really nice texture pack
I’m always smiling when I watch Batman: The brave and the bold. The scenarios and team ups are so ‘silly’ I can’t hep but like them.
-
I’m glad I bring you enjoyment,

And justice!

And tight pants.
-
And Bat nipples!
Because those weren’t weird at all.

Drinking tea and feeling fancy. Yes, rather.

Hmm Yes… Shallow and pedantic… indeed…

-
Ow! I’ve been playing Ukelele so much the last 2 hours that my fingertips have gone numb
-
I like the idea of you just sitting there on a computer chair making tropical ukelele tunes.
-
Beatles, Hotel California, Take on me and various other rock/pop tunes XD
-
I’d much rather if it was heavy metal ukulele, if only for the mental image.
-
Everytime she finishes a song, she smashes the ukelele onto the floor.
Then pulls out a new one for the next song.-
Expensive. D=
I have a cheap one and that was $50.
But most music stores sell them for $120 -
Well to do it correctly one would have to be playing a tune by The Who then smash it =P
-
If she had a partner who could smash it with their own instrument after she’d flung it, then Nirvana would also do.
-
Nirvana would not do, sorry Blaghs =P
-
You’re right, Nirvana would more than do. Nirvana would be the greatest thing ever.
-
You really know how to insult me don’t you? D=
-
What can I say? I’m a monster.
-
-
-
Dubstep? Hmm I wonder if that exists…
-
Well dubstep ukulele is… Interesting
Omg scree is still online :O nowai
-
I lost track of time playing Ukelele
It really hurts to type
Instant regret at booking a 9am flight for Pez’s thing. Means I have to be up at like…4:30am.
-
It’s alright, Cakemang!
You can have a nap when all the loud people go shopping.
And I will watch you as you sleep.-
And when you wake up, Bish will have food waiting for you. And possibly also have made you an outfit.
-
No, he’s more a fan of looking through all your books. Not sure how he’ll do it in this example, but I think he’ll manage.
-
Actually, the first part is spot on.
The second part… maybe I’ll need to prepare something in advance.
-
-
But, Bish…shopping!
-
When we went shopping last Canberra Meat I got the trolley and I was all WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE down the aisles.
So now they don’t let me come with them.-
Lolol such meanies!
-
You mean, you’re not meant to do that?
-
-
-
But what if I need to go shopping Bish?
-
Then you sit in the trolley and nap and we’ll push you around the store.
I’m sure people won’t mind.
-
-
-
I look forward to sending out more ‘I’M LOST SOS’ tweets. I made up a little song. I sang it while I was looking for everyone last time. I also talked to myself. A lot.
-
I look forward to awkwardly being on the wrong side of the road again.
-
I look forward to actually meeting both of you this time (or, alternately, somehow narrowly missing you guys, and lending further evidence to the conspiracy theory that assumes Batgirl and I are the same person).
-
You will get to see the awkward that is me in person \o/
-
It’s okay. After a couple drinks you’ll be fine.
-
I look forward to another round of #drunkbatgirlquotes
-
-
-
Either you look like a girl or I look like a dude. One of us should be very insulted.
Also, RL TAYbar!
-
So this means you will be talking over everyone else the entire time?
-
Yes.
-
-
And being the internet it’s more likely that you’re a dude.
-
YOU’VE MET ME!
-
And I still maintain it was a poor disguise.
-
Yeaaaah. I don’t like being told I’m a dude 😛
-
Don’t worry man, you’ve informed us about this before….man.
-
I feel like I may have actually offended you here and if I have I do apologise.
That can hardly be considered concrete proof. Look at Rocketman as an example.
So SAFE day is now over. It was fun.
I guess we now have to wait for the next screen-filling Kotaku ad or the next Statham movie.
-
I see a Diablo 3 ad over in the corner…
-
I have a Shopstyle Ad. Somehow typing SHOPSTYLE Day isn’t as fun as Safe Day.

What is this…I don’t even?

YouTube comments are sometimes just as if not more entertaining than the video preceding them.
Goodnight TAY.

Oh god,now I can’t stop laughing…

Brilliant 😀
Dishonoured! October! Excitebike!
-
It won’t be as good as it looks!
Sorry, sorry, no, I shouldn’t say that. I’m just needlessly cynical. I think in this case it’s so that there’s a chance of being pleasantly surprised. I do want it to be good. But then, even if it isn’t, I can squint a little, and pretend that it’s in the Half Life universe… So I guess it’s a win-win.
If we don’t break 3500 comments by 5pm, I’ll be surprised.
-
I will be if we do. Unless you have something planned. Do you have something planned? Is it insidious? Should I call the authorities? What am I talking about, I am the authorities. That was a lie. I am not the authorities.
-
Well, given that we average ~250 comments per page, and around a bit over four pages per day, we should reach 3500 comments easily.

Also, I’m off to bed.
Goodnight.
Friday morning… must… mine… no!….must…sleeep….damn you xbox minecraft….
That Soul Sacrifice game for PSV looks all kinds of awesome. Guess I’m saving for a Vita now…if I save all I can I may be able to afford one in…oh….a few years. 😛
-
It does look pretty neat. It sort of looked like Prototype crossed with God of War. Not sure I like the fact that it’s all going to be taking place in a story book though. To me that’s the same as it all being a dream type scenario.
So I caved yesterday.
I bought a Vita! \o/
-
\o/
What made you cave?
-
EB’s sale.
Also: Gravity Rush looks awesome and SPINE SWORD!!!!!!!
-
SPINE SWORD!!!! \o/
-
-
-
I made a friend cave for a Vita yesterday!
Now he is all “…What do I do with it.”-
What does he do with the vita or the cave?
How big is the cave? Can he live it it and become a smelly Hermit?
-
You know me, it’s pretty much the cleanest cave ever.
I’d probably have to kick him out if he became a smelly hermit.But yeah, EB sale. He’s actually a bit unsure what to do with it now because only a few of the current games that are out standouts to him. He said he might get some old PSP games. He is mad for the Monster Hunting. Last time I asked his Unite save file was 400+ hours. I don’t know if they fix up the camera with the 2nd nub, be he would probably be all over that.
-
Hey! I’m in hermit mode and I don’t smell 🙁
But then again I’m in hermit mode and no one can tell me otherwise :/
-
-
-
I want a Vita but I’m waiting for the games selection to get a little bigger.
New TV show idea.
Hidden camera show with people just talking. When they get a fact wrong Blaghman busts in and corrects them. Then a person jumps up, points and screams “YOU JUST GOT BLAGH’D!”
I propose this be an hour and a half to two hour long show showing three times a week with a weekly best of recap on Sundays.
-
I would watch this.
-
Sounds better then the other reality crap on TV.
Except, as I have stated before, Shows about airport customs.
-
And Top Shot. Top shot is the king of reality shows. Everyone should watch it. It’s a shooting competition. They have slow-motion video of things being ripped apart with bullets, too. And Colby from Survivor(back when reality shows were new) is the host….
-
-
Gold!
I’m having Cheese and Bacon Shapes for breakfast.
It’s been a while, but I don’t remember them having pink spots on them last time I ate them. It’s weird.
-
That would either be the bacon, or signs of extreme staleness.
-
Or signs of stale bacon?
-
Or measles?!
-
-
New TV show idea
XBN with Sit Greenius. All the latest on Xenoblade followed by a half hour sales pitch. Ratings will be poor as everyone keeps promising to watch but few do.
-
:'(
-
I’d watch that ;D
New TV show idea
The Ruffleberg Report. A Fox style hard hitting current affairs rant show with an angry host telling you why today’s games are going to be the ruin of society. Each episode will end with a piece in an older game and how much better it was designed then now.
-
I like this idea.
-
More show ideas please 🙂
-
I lol’d
Today is not off to a good start.
Got rained on coming in to work and now very wet 🙁
-
Also Shane, I won’t get the G13 sent off today. Early next week, I promise!
-
Geez!
-
I know, I’m a horrible person 😛
-
-
-
On the plus side, if you HADN’T gotten rained on and STILL came in very wet, that would be more cause for concern.
Think about that!
Turns out i need a root canal 🙁 It will cost me $1000, yay!
-
Freezey McFreezerson’s TV show will get you the money for it.
-
I already have the money, but i wanted to finally start building my new gaming PC, guess i’ll have to put it off for another month.
-
-
Oh damn 🙁
Morning TAY!
Multiplayer stuff! It should happen soon!
-
I know! I’ve been slack organisng things for gaming nights due to Minecraft and busy work schedule.
-
I’d be down for RDR or Trials. There’s a $2 for 2 months of XBL Gold which I’ve yet to purchase. I’ve just been holding out for as long as possible 😛
We might do another iSketch soon perhaps over the weekend if people are keen?
-
I’m over Trials heh.
Could be up for some RDR tonight if people are keen.
-
But you need to experience the EXTREME tracks!
-
-
-
We should organise a payday co-op night. I haven’t played it since the last time we did
Maybe a scheduled night for co-op
New TV show idea
Scree’s Suited-up Sorry Show. Each episode Scree shows off a new cosplay suit with sewing tips. She then starts apologizing profusely for the last 10 minutes.
-
Heh, sorry!
On a Draw Something game with miniscree she wrote “scree says it a lot”, the word was SORRY 🙂
So, I’ve got a dilemma.
Do I apply for the Harvard MBA course this year, and potentially not finish my undergraduate degree (due to the fact that it starts 3 months before my undergrad finishes)
OR
Do I apply next year, and spend 7-8 months in the work-force?
Of course, there is absolutely no guarantee I will get in, so this may mean nothing. Still, what are everybody’s thoughts on the matter?
-
Don’t mess up the undergrad you have spent so much time and effort on.
Also a break from study may be good?-
True dat. I may be able to work out a deal with the Uni to allow me to finish the work I need to get done befor ethe end of semester.
I don’t want a break from study. I know myself. I will get lazy. 😛
-
-
-
This is le blocked at work… 🙁
-
It’s not relevant 😛
-
But what is it?! 😛
-
YOU DON’T GET TO SEE IT TAD. NONE FOR YOU.
Hi.
-
-
-
Harvard as in America awesomesauce Harvard? :O
I think it’ll be better to finish your undergraduate degree. You’re this far in already so why quit 3 months early?
-
Yupp!
I think this is the pervading view by people. I’ll see what the uni will let me do.
Apply. If you get the offer, then you can make your choice. If not, you’ve probably learned something valuable that will help your application next year! 🙂
-
This is true…
It’s depressing trying to make a decision… 🙁
Or, or, you could stop Uni all together and spend all day on TAY! 😀
BAHAHAHAHA!!!
Awesome idea, but mannnnn i hope that isn’t a real card…
http://imgur.com/gallery/xmcNe
Poor, stupid Daniela Boehm
-
Highly likely that it is.
You can now get credit cards printed with whatever image you like. I read a story about a girl who cut down her clothes spending by getting a picture of her dad looking disapprovingly (Do you really need another pair of shoes?)
New TV show idea
Why I Hate The Humans. Tech Knight hosts a home video show featuring clips of the lowest, most vile and scummiest behavior humans are capable of. Still funnier then Australia’s Funniest Home Videos.
-
-
Loops why are you posting the same gif on EVERYTHING?
-
I like how you had the add dots to avoid having a duplicate comment 😛
-
-
BAHAHAHA! That made my morning. Thanks Freeze you’re a champion!
Last one before I start work
New TV show idea
Good Morning with Chuloopa. Morning show that has segments demonstrating the latest and greatest in wang and wang related technologies. Rest of the show is reports on the best of 9gag.
@Strange
I don’t know Top Shot, the pink bits might be measles and SPINE SWORD! \o/
-
http://www.history.com/shows/top-shot We watch it for the weapons.
Can you get measles from eating measled shapes? Eek! 😛
SPINE SWORD!!! I look forward to the end of the year when that game comes out and we can fill pages with SPINE SWORD! SPINE SWORD! SPINE SWORD!!! a la Skyrim comments. 😛
So, people are sending Mark their AMAZING birthday cards today, right? Just want to make sure, here.
-
Today? But his birthday is Sunday, isn’t it!?
-
But he’s never gonna read his emails on Sunday, right?
-
I’ll call him and tell him to check his emails!
-
-
-
Did mine yesterday, scree said she would send hers last night
But I guess the general consensus was yes, they’ll send it in before Kudos today as Mark will actually see them 🙂
-
🙁
I DON’T HAVE TIME!!!!!
-
You can do it Doc, we believe in you
-
-
-
shit.
-
S’alright. We’ll be radical and send them on Sunday.
You know, be all “Non-conformist” and shit.
-
I love being non-conformist and stuff!
-
-
-
I’m doing it on sunday
http://i.imgur.com/DGYzN.gif -
Just sent mine in!
-
I can’t make amazing cards. Hmm..actually I’ve made an awesome card by sewing fabric onto card before…wish I’d thought of that earlier. It’s too late now.
Anyway, I just wished him a happy Birthday in my noms email.-
Who arranged the birthday thing last year? That was pretty organised.
This year not so much.
-
Tadmod.. cause he worked there 😛
-
It was MadTod while he was working there….
-
Oh, man.
Tadmod. *takes off hat* Man, that guy. *sniff* Sometimes it’s like he’s still here with us.
-
Sup?
😛
-
I can almost hear his voice, like an echo in the wind.
-
-
-
-
I tried to organise people, but nobody ever listens to me. *single emo tear*
-
Did someone say something?
-
*Single tear rolls off my face, slow motion shot of it falling to the ground.*
-
I don’t think today could get any worse.
Just informed by the manager that one of our copier technicians passed away this morning. He’d been battling cancer for the better part of 12 months. He looked like he was getting better last week as well.
-
…fuck, man…that sucks. It always hits so much harder when they look like they’re on the mend.
Hope things start looking a bit better for everyone involved. -
Fuck…. sorry man :s
That’s really shit, to say the least.Our accounts lady just told me her uncle is terminal as well… it’s another one of those years, me thinks
-
🙁
-
My condolences.
-
🙁
*hug*
-
Didn’t see this before.
🙁
That’s rough.
-
HUZZAH! No Sydney location!
Wait…
Damn…
-
Sydney was already announced the other day.
I’m going to assume the Chauvel is one of those indy cinema type places.
-
-
what the heck is Cabin in the woods?
-
Joss Whedon wrote a horror spoof film a while ago. It’s finally seeing the light of day and then it was decided that Australia wasn’t going to get to see it. Thanks to a fair bit of fan uproar, it’s now getting a limited release.
-
Apparently it’s actually a very good movie (in some ways).
I always expected this to be a normal cinema release. No idea why it’s not….Also why does chrome keep thinking “movie” is spelt incorrectly????
-
Movie? It’s a word of the proletariat. No, no, we, the classy people, see films. Or “Moving Pictures.”
-
It’s a Joss Whedon movie, spoofing horror movie tropes and starring a few Whedonite regulars (Amy Acker, Fran Kranz) as well as some muscular Aussie dude that the people fawn over.
Sounds like a formula for success to me.
-
-
Also Chuloopa, watch the trailer. I think you’ll like it.
-
Morning TAY.
So my Retro gaming party draws closer (tomorrow night) And yo know what, i remember why i don’t use my retro gear so often anymore. Its a pain in the ass lol.
Tonight and tomorrow will be spent moving a table or two and some crt’s into the garage, making sure my UV lights are working, setting up heating appliances in there, and sorting something out in the way of chip tunes and bad 80s music for the night.
-
-
sooo jelly!
-
well if you feel like a drive all the way to the east………. lol.
-
QUESTION:
How old is Mark turning?
-
31, I believe.
-
31?!?!
http://i.imgur.com/DGYzN.gif -
Excellent. As I have no artistic merit I shall send him a message disguised as a kudos nom.
I do find it amusing that we appear to be prepping some secret bombardment of things for Mark yet he has access to TAY 😛
-
He barely reads it anymore, if at all, so I think it’s fairly safe.
-
-
-
Based on chronology, or maturity?
Morning TAY!
My fingers are still really sore since I was playing Ukelele for 2 hours last night.
I’m so tempted to keep playing, but I’m concerned my fingers will start bleeding
-
http://i.imgur.com/DGYzN.gif !!!!
HI SCREE!!!-
I’ve seen it and I have no idea what it is
-
It’s G-Man & a City 17 citizen! Made into a .gif in Gmod =P
-
-
-
Keep going!
Everyone can start calling you Bleeding Fingers Scree.
-
Don’t worry, it gets easier as you play more and more. When learning guitar the hardest part was the first month or two until I got calluses on my fingers tips. Just make sure you don’t stop playing because I stopped playing and now have lost the ability to play the guitar all day without any finger pain /o\
-
Yeah I used to play guitar. It’s such a pain
-
My worst issue when not playing for months on end is the cramps in the arm when i play metal. All those damned tricksy triplets
-
HEH, I wouldn’t really know that problem. I only played acoustic guitar. It’s much easier on the arms.
-
Acoustic Guitar? All you’re doing is reinforcing my theory that you’re a ladykiller.
-
-
-
@Cake and Greenius, we should RDR tomorrow night. Not sure if I’m available tonight until late.
-
Okay 😀
Just let me know when so I can buy the $2 gold
Just got an email from Umart.
They’ve just sent my motherboard in to the manufacturer for more testing. I was told that they weren’t going to bother testing it themselves and send it straight there. Looks like they decided to take a few days to play about with it instead.
This is really going to cut into my Diablo 3 playing. Definitely going to have to set it up on my laptop now and after playing SC2 on it last night, I don’t have high hopes for my computer keeping up with things.
-
Umart probably didn’t test it. They probably just took that long to wade through their pile of crap they call an RA department.
-
It’s been a bit over a week since I dropped it off. The last couple of times I’ve dropped anything off there, it’s taken a few days.
-
-
Umart are starting to shit me off, I emailed them asking about the GTX680 that was 2 weeks ago they haven’t even email me back. They’re rather lazy/ignorant to their customers. Before this i’ve had pretty good service from them & quick email response.
Morning all. Just posting to update TAY.
nothing to see here.
move along.
Since everyone is posting GIFs today…

Army Corps of Hell – anyone played it?
Hey everybody, You know whats really not fun, eating smoko and being called and these names are in order i believe
1.Fat
2. Really Fat
3. Gay
4. Ugliest women in town
5. 40 other synonyms for gay that i would rather not share as they are very crude
6. A pedophile who prays on the kids of the people i work with.
I am still in a happy mood and i went to tell my boss but they have all left for the day. Gonna be great
-
What? That’s awful. Not to mention horrible. What do they do when they encounter someone who happens to be actually gay?
-
Given where he’s from?
Stone them.
-
On of them who has a cousin who is gay and another a uncle. Its just small town syndrome. People dont like people who don’t conform. Thats how hate spreads 🙁
-
-
This story doesn’t involve you punching anybody, and that makes me sad.
Just remember RocketPony, we don’t think you’re any of those. Well, someone might call you fat, I don’t know, but I sure as hell can’t! Where was I going with this? I don’t know, I’m only good at being mean.
-
I have found that getting angry isn’t the right way, even with personal insults and violence towards me its alot easier to let it go and take it one day at a time. Being angry and holding grudges will lead me down a path of yelling at my friends who are trying to help. WHich i have already done. So i wont punch anybody anymore or push or fight. I will ignore it and keep on sing queen songs.
-
That’s a good thing to do. I usually abhor violence.
-
The only place for violence is in video games
-
-
-
Do you want me to kick them in the dick for you?
-
They are tall guys so you will probably need a step ladder but if you are so inclined you can.
-
Uppercut in the dick then if they’re that tall.
-
-
-
I just want to add, I’m glad you’re still in a happy mood, but that’s not on. Your co-workers are arseholes. You’re a nice person, and maybe if they weren’t so busy bullying you, they may actually come to see that.
-
Meh i am not nice i am annoying as hell. But that is not the point, I have just been here for so long that its just the done thing. Even after there last warning it only stopped them for a short amount of time. I can take a joke i really can. What i can’t take is grouping up on the smaller weaker guy. But i will get through today with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. That last sentence doesn’t help with the gay idea 😛
-
Workplace bullying is against the law. Sounds like they’re bullying you.
You really need to do something about it, if not for yourself but for the person they would tease in your place. If you left, they’d just find another victim-
They didn’t have a victim before me. So i don’t think they will.
-
You don’t know that. What if you left and another person took your place. Because it will happen. They have the mentality now so it’s not like they’re just going to drop it. They’ll find someone else to torment.
You really have to put a stop to this. Do you have a union?
-
-
-
So long as it stays in your heart and you don’t start bursting out into spontaneous show tunes you should be fine.
-
too late.
-
-
Future meat option: We turn up to Rocketman’s work one day and just beat the crap out of everybody.
-
We discussed this on TeamSpeak. It started off with a manly “turn up on motorcycles” and devolved into “turn up in the girliest things we have.” So it was like, a Honda Civic, Roller Skates, and something else…
-
Disco fight.
Let’s do it.

Get FatShady decked out like in his Kane&Lynch comp photo. Scare the fuck out of them all.
That sucks. Your work sounds like the worst. From what you’ve said it sounds like a majority of people there are dicks.
That’s awful and everything Rockets, but I’m more disturbed by you eating smoko. It’s bringing me mental images of you stuffing your face with the contents of an ashtray. 😛
*hugasaurus*
-
That’s what first popped into my mind when I read that.
-
Morning tea then.
Fuckers.
-
They are indeed that.
They are really not very imaginative are they. High school kids could give them lessons in insults.
-
Hey man it couldn’t be creative that might be funny instead of mean.
-
Yeah but I dunno, after being called gay 39 times in a single smoko surely it looses it’s impact by the 40th.
You could bring in score cards and mock them by scoring their insults.
-
-
Teenagers make fun of gay people, yet they like to draw dicks on everything?
What a bunch of absolute lowlifes…
I remember those days of highschool…
man these people just…. just… man i don’t even know.. they’re just so lame, unimaginative, insecure and outright cruel.
We love you, buddy!
-
Well you are clearly drunk then. Yeah i know all you guys care. I only really tell you guys because i like knowin someone cares.
-
*hug*
Hell yeah we care bro
-
We care like a baws!!!
Quite honestly, i can’t imagine a TAY without you
-
Put it this way, you want to get out of that hell hole, and it would seem they don’t. So that makes them a bunch of backwards country bumpkins who would marry their first cousins if it was legal.
On Monday I began sewing a cute stuffed bear-shaped cushion for my sister’s incoming baby. The sun went down and I had to stop right in the middle of a tricky bit because I couldn’t see properly anymore. I haven’t had the heart to pick it up again because I don’t want to do the tricky bit. 😛
I now have a similar problem with Mass Effect 3. I had to stop mid battle to do taking-care-of-my-family stuff so my last save is right before a battle that begins with two Banshees coming at me. Stoopid Banshees. 🙁 So I’m avoiding playing it because I don’t want to have to start with two Banshees.
I think I’ll have to sew something else for a bit before going back to the bear cushion, and restart that mission with the Banshees to ease myself into things.
-
I find that if you leave working on something at a hard part you just keep putting it off. Whereas if you do all the hard stuff when you reach it you just push through it because yu wanna get it done. But your plan sounds doable.
-
You are correct as usual, Rockets.
This is why if I have a choice of when to stop I always wait until the hard part’s over. Unfortunately having kids means I don’t often get to choose where to stop on projects. Or games. This is why I have a bunch of unfinished games, too. 😛-
Well that happens, family is the most important thing after all.
-
-
-
It might be my OCD, but I make a point to ALWAYS save in Shep’s quarters before I quit the game. ALWAYS. Gives me an exceuse to feed the fish too. 😛 I don’t like to leave a game mid mission, breaks the flow but it sucks when you have no other option than to leave.
-
I always save with Shep standing at the galaxy map. Also, automatic fish feeder. Best credits I ever spent.
-
The quarters habit is something started in ME2, only made sense to carry it over here.
I was bummed there was no ‘keep fish alive’ achievement. 😛

-
Avengers was fucking awesome.
That is all.
-
Avengers IS fucking awesome.
THAT is all.
Company of Heroes is on sale at Steam, yay or nay? If I recall it’s $2 for the main game and $9 for the whole package. Worth getting the other things? I don’t really wanna spend more money on the extras if I’m not going to use them, and how would having only the main game affect multi?
I remember some TAYbies have been playing lately and I have heard good things about it so it’s on my radar. I haven’t really played a RTS (I assume it’s an RTS) in ages so I don’t know how I’ll manage :P, does it still hold up?
Thanks all 🙂
-
company of heroes is awesome. do it!
-
It’s good.
The vanilla edition will let you use the Americans and the Wehrmacht (German) in multiplayer and give you access to the US campaign. The expansions will give you the other campaigns and let you use the British and Panzer Elite (still Germans) in multiplayer.
$9 is a damned good price for the whole lot, even though I’ve barely touched the campaigns at all. If my PC was in commission, I’d gladly jump in a game to show you the ropes.
And yes, it’s definitely an RTS but it’s not a macro orientated one. The entire game is basically about controlling territory.
-
And for those that prefer hard copies:
http://www.ozgameshop.com/pc-games/company-of-heroes-anthology-game-pc -
I’m interested in the game as well. I wish I could get it. I have cash in my wallet but only 50c in my account 🙁
-
-
It is really fun even for a rts noob like me. Its fairly easy to pick up and so much fun with friends. You don’t need any real skill to play and have fun with it.
-
Awesome cause I doubt I’m gonna put any decent time in it to get good 🙂
-
Don’t worry. None of us have either.
-
-
-
It’s a pretty good game that (unfortunately) I never got in to. I was too busy with Dawn of War which is essentially the same game in the 40K universe 😛
-
WHICH MEANS IT WAS AWESOME!!!!
-
So Essendon have West Coast Eagles this weekend – should be interesting.
Hopefully homeground advantage pulls with the dons…
Tre rest of the match-ups this weekend seem a bit “meh”, although i would like to see Melbourne SMASH Hawthorn

I’m going to Brisbane vs Collingwood tomorrow.
It’s going to be bad.
-
Brissy supporter?
-
It’s been a tough few years.
-
-
So i downloaded Wolfenstein 3d on my iphone. Gotta say, I LOVE IT. Only criticism is that the controls dont translate too well, making it pretty hard to shoot those even nazi buggers.
-
and the odd ones (was meant to read EVIL nazi buggers)
-
No no, Wolf3D has 18 enemies so ‘even’ Nazi’s is still a correct term.
-
I feel a bit sick now. Maybe those spots on the Cheese and Bacon Shapes really were measles?! 😛
-
Surely you would have had a measles shot at one point in your life? If so, you’re safe. Well, not guaranteed, let’s be honest, but almost completely safe.
-
Or maybe it’s because you ate cheese and bacon shapes for breakfast 😛
There’s an article on Lifehacker with lots of stick figure images, and it reminded me of my high school days when I used to make massive flipbooks of epic lightsaber battles between stick figures, complete with stacks of amputations, blood, dissolving bodies and a certain amount of humour (slipping on a blood stain and impaling one’s self was a common trope, but it’s only funny with stick figures). I spent so much of my high school years doin this that it’s amazing I got the grades I did. Still, it does explain why, after having studied French for almost a decade, all I can remember are the words for butterfly and window. Nostalgia trip – feel free to come along.

-
We’re not going to see Safe… why!?
I’ll have to see if I’m available! (and by 14th of July, you mean June, right?). Put me down as a “maybe” until we know the specific time we’re going!
-

Join the Official Rockstar Games Community on Steam at http://steamcommunity.com/games/rockstargames by 10 am Pacific Time on Tuesday, May 15, 2012, and receive one non-giftable copy of Midnight Club 2 in your Steam account by May 29th.

I’ve joined the Rockstar community page, hopefully the game appears soon. I still haven’t played my PS3 copy of midnight club: LA but I can’t complain about a free game.
Am I the only one feeling a lot less SAFE?
@cakesmith, I’ve hounded you over steam but I’ll say it again here. Thank you for the steam gift. Remind me to hug you at the meat.

Girl-things are weird. I just watched a bellasugar video linked below here about how to do dutch braids in hair. The first step is to “Start with day-old hair”. O.o
-
That’s just hair you haven’t washed for a day. If hair is too clean it doesn’t hold shape so well. Hair words are funny, par example if you don’t have any dye in your hair you have virgin hair.
VIIIIIIIRGIN.
-
Girl-things are weird
-
So… if you have virgin hair and a man.. *censored* in it, is it still virgin?
-
Un-dyed hair is virgin hair regardless of gender.
-
I have been a virgin all my life, Also my hair 😛
-
Oh, wait. I just got that. Oh, Loops. Buuuut it might actually be good for the hair. Semen has something in it which is good for ageing apparently and there are new products with collagen to ‘turn back the clock’ so to speak for older hair so…there’s that.
-
It’s settled then. I’m going to start my own beauty range and sell it to all te ladiez.
-
So ‘facials’ are actually good for the skin! Who would have thought it?!
-
-
-
Oh, wait. I just got that. Oh, Loops. Buuuut it might actually be good for the hair. Semen has something in it which is good for ageing apparently and there are new products with collagen to ‘turn back the clock’ so to speak for older hair so…there’s that.
-
Protein, you mean?
Also – a reply so good you had to post it twice!
-
It the same property that’s in a fruit that some skin care brands use. I DUNNO.
Fun fact, some hair treatments use placenta.
We had a guy come in who was looking to pick up a new treatment/mask for his missus. Talked about the one she used mentioned something about placenta. He clearly didn’t know what it meant because when we told him his face went soooo white.
-
Please stop talking about placenta – you’re making me hungry

Ali G interview.
Ewwww
You’re all class, man.

Even i can’t believe i asked that….
Oh, I’m aware of what it meant, it’s just a weird and silly term.

Step 2: Get 1 day old hair
Step 3: Braid as per video
Step 4: Profit.

Company of Heroes Complete is $9 on Steam today – fucking awesome deal – hit that shit!
-
Well thanks to Quick draw McPerm I have a spare copy of the vanilla so if anybody has issues getting it on steam let me know and I’ll send it across
-
Psh.. that;s soooo one page ago!
ALSO – have you played Army Corps of Hell yet? If so, whatsitlike?
ALSO ALSO – i ended up getting the 16gig stick – thanks for your helpful help 🙂
-
Yeah Army Corps of Hell was one of the games I got at launch – lots of fun. Crazy metal music, lots of blood, goblin minions, demons etc. It can get a little samey pretty quick, but if you get it cheap it’s pretty good, definitely unique.
No worries about the stick though man, you ended up making the choice, lol!
ALSO, I want Soul Sacrifice.
-
Soul Sacrifice looks like it could be soooooooo goooooodd!!!
And yeah, Army Corps of Hell is $24 on play asia – if that;s cheap enough
-
For $24 I’d say give it a go! Definitely a lot of fun. Only problem is PlayAsia, they’re a pack of bastards, I hate them now.

Why don’t you want to reply to me, what did I ever do to you and your goldfish

I finally fixed my PS3 trigger springs and now my pad feels weird.(the L2 one was broken and the R2 spring was almost breaking) Hopefully a few hours of gaming this weekend will allow me to get used to the new feeling.
I’m looking for more derpy SC2 strategies to try out against Bronze leaguers this weekend.
Last night I tried rallying marines directly into their base. It didn’t work but it still took them a damned long time to bother trying to kill me. Then I tried mass Vikings. It might have some merit but I ran into the same guy both times I tried it. Takes far too much gas and Vikings are kind of shit on the ground.
Next on the list is mass Queens (going to expand over the whole damned map) and Spine Crawlers.
If that fails, I’m thinking Carriers. Same problems as Vikings but I imagine that I’ll be able to succeed a bit more because it’s Protoss and Protoss is superior to Terran in every conceivable way.
Everything I want to do requires me expanding quite aggressively at the beginning and then using the masses of minerals and gas that I acquire for lulz. Fun times.
-
You could surround his base in photon cannons.
Don’t push in, just contain him with nothing but cannons and see if he can break out.-
From what I’ve heard about Bronze league, and from what I’ve seen so far, that would work.
It would take a long while.
Some guy told me that it took him 40 minutes to crack someone’s base when all they did was turtle with planetary fortresses. 40 minutes. Doing something like a cannon contain would probably break their minds.
Anyhow, I want to win with these derpy strategies. The whole point of this is to find the worst way out of Bronze league.
-
But just build air units?
-
I think you mean “MOTHERSHIP RUSH!”
-
That would be my solution. That or just use Warp Prism/Medivacs to get around the Planetaries and blow up their main.
-
-
-
It’s early in the day, but I think I found today’s most ignorant comment over at Gizmodo!
-
Really?
Somebody who thinks that their are hard drives in the nano is the most ignorant?-
It just seems so stupid to even say that. Makes it look like they didn’t think before typing.
-
Maybe, I guess working in a tech field I generally give people a bit more leniency on their knowledge base.
I can see how some would make that mistake if they heard that magnets can erase hard drives, they could assume that since the nano has a hard drive it would affect that too.
You can save stuff on it so it muct have a hard drive, most people will not know the difference between hdd and flash. It is all just techno magic
-
-
-
which one? theres several contenders there.
-
About the nano’s hard drive will be erased if put near the magnets.
-
-
You can do better than that, surely 😛
New TV show idea
That’s My Pez! A Eddie Murphy style “comedy” where every character is played by Pez. Each episode ha a special guest appearance by Cakesmith, who shouts a clever insult catch phrase to riotous applause from the live audience.
-
“Eddie Murphy style “comedy”…”
“riotous applause from the live audience.”
These two things do NOT go together.
-
Oh! Oh! Do me! Do me!
-
You have a groupie, Freeze!
-
Freeze, you lady killer
-
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids already exists.
-
I’m not THAT short
-
-
-
I watched that episode last night.
-
I haven’t even watched the YouTube video but I’m pretty sure I know what episode/part you linked.
-
-
-
Live audience? That has canned laughter written all over it
-
If I may make a suggestion. Every episode Cakesmith shrugs his shoulders and says “Well, that’s my Pez”. Then you play all the canned laughter!
-
And applause and wolf whistles. For five minutes.
-
-
I would normally suggest Shiggy to take my place but Shiggy needs his own show.
An EpicMealTime style show where the only ingredient is bacon.
Friday. Pub lunch \o/
Work place is surprisingly uplifting even after this mornings news.
Hopefully I’m explaining this well, if not I’m sorry.
My issue: Why do many modern comedies/sitcoms insist on making jokes using famous peoples’ or celebrities’ names? E.g. A character insults someone claiming his face looks like Bill Clinton’s nipple. What? The though of a persons face looking like a nipple is funny I guess, but why Bill Clinton?
I’ve been noticing this a lot lately. At first it was Family guy which was easy to ignore, but many ‘live action’ comedies seems to be doing this as well. Characters might joke that their friend walks like Nicki Minaj’s butler. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Have we ever seen her butler? Are the script writers just throwing words at the page? Is it an in joke in the Hollywood industry?
This stuff is just perplexing. Most comedies work because of the character interactions, actors finding themselves in awkward or embarrassing situations and some one off slapstick moments, but this stuff seems odd.
Maybe I’m just being nit picky, but these jokes always ruin many shows I watch.
-
Man, that comment is insightful. Just like Tina Fey’s lawyer!
-
I see what you did there.
-
-
Have you seen the South Park episode where they explain how Family Guy is written?
Anyway, Family Guy made that kind of random humor popular (I’m not saying it started it, but it certainly helped bring it to the mainstream) and now everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.
Watched a Simpsons episode lately? Gone is the witty humor for the over the top “random” jokes.
-
What episode is that? Any idea of the season and episode number? I’d actually like to watch that South Park episode.
-
It was called ‘Cartoon Wars’ I believe – forget what series it was, I think there was 2 parts to it as well.
-
Thanks Ynefel. I did a quick Google search for Cartoon wars and it’s the 3rd and 4th episodes of season 10. I’ll probably watch them later today.
-
It’s hilarious, get on it. Very funny.
-
-
-
I think they are sometimes trying to get at something that is funny, in a very non funny sort of way.
Perhaps they are inferring the Nicki Minaj takes her butler from behind? so he walks funny? i dont know. But i am with you, these jokes can be funny when used sparing just for the off the wall wackiness, but when they get used in every second passing “joke” they stop being funny real quickly.
-
Exactly. When they are used sparingly they are OK but most shows just dump them on there.
You are all correct. Gilmore Girls nailed the celebrity references though. My theory is that other shows are trying to strap on, and are failing miserably.
-
The jump on the bandwagon effect could be a reason.
easy solution: don’t watch sitcoms ;P
-
I guess I could do that, but I don’t dislike them so much that I would completely stop watching them. If they get too bad I’ll turn to cartoons and animated series for my pre-bedtime half hour shows.
-
I’ve been doing that for a while.
Archer, Young Justice, Avatar, Futurama… all good options.
-
Lazy writing. They assume that people will think it’s a joke because they recognise the celebrity being attached to it.
Just a nipple, pretty funny but Bill Clinton? I know who that guy is! I’ve seen him on TV! Oh man, his nipples must be hilarious.
Sitcom writing is amazingly lazy. So many punchlines, so few jokes.
-
That sounds like a plausible reason.
-
Don’t encourage him.
Wait.
Him is me. Do encourage him. Me. Whatever.
-
HA.
-
-
So uh, what is the point of a beta if I cannot submit information about a ingame bug/open a ticket with a game master about said bug that doesn’t give me in game progression?
-
No forums to report it on or anything?
-
I could hop on the Blizzard forums, but I don’t venture there often enough. I have contacted them via Twitter twice but considering the time difference I don’t know if they’ll ever see it :S
-
There should be a dedicated forum thread for bug reports in the beta, there has been for all the Blizz ones I’ve taken part of.
-
Yeah support just got back to me linking me. Although I fixed the problem in the mean time lol.
-
-
-
-
I thought betas were marketing tools…? 😛
-
It was a great marketing tool up until this point x.x
-
Welp, that was pretty insulting. :S
I just went to do a survey that was sent to me (the email said it was about gaming, so I thought “why not”). They asked my age and sex. Then they asked for the age and sex of any other people in my household who play games. Then they asked on what platforms I played games.Then they asked if I was the primary gamer of the house to which I responded “I am one of the primary gamers of the house” as the only other option was “No”. All good so far. But then they asked if the 40 year old male was “one of the primary gamers of the house” to which I honestly responded in the affirmative. They then said “The rest of this survey is for the 40 year old male” “We want to know the opinion of the gamer in your house”.
-
Time to give them derp data.
-
Yep. Tick yes to all the boxes and write I PLAY ONLY FARMVILLE in all the comment fields

Been watching Breaking Bad again. I’m halfway through the first season and I just realised I never bought season 4 on BluRay. Tried to buy it today at lunch, JB didn’t have it. They did have the DVD for nearly $50 though.

Man, so excited for season 5.
Here’s a relevant clip

It’s nearly 1:00…

Validating Vita purchases everywhere!
We should Vita together some time.
Just did this share trading simulation thing for a Finance assessment and well safe to say I didn’t know what I was doing for half the time since it was done through some website/program. This means I sold for low and brought for high as I wasn’t aware of the market prices 😛
Came about 14/33 based on Cash only which is not bad :). Had barely any shares though but cash is what matters 😀
-
So, what you’re saying is that if you’d refrained from trying to make money, you probably would have done even better? A win for laziness!
-
What do you mean? Everyone starts off with some money and some shares, can’t remember how much but whatever I did I ended up with more money than I started with which is good :P. Since everyone starts with something a few people who didn’t turn up, and therefore didn’t play, had less money than me but more share value. I think it was based on the cash amount anyway so if you just literally did nothing you wouldn’t do that well
-
You said that you were selling low and buying high. The safe assumption based on that is that you lost money, unless you’re a witch.
Are you a witch?
-
Oh I lost money when I did that (for the first half or so) but then I figured out what I was doing wrong and got monies again :).
I’m not a witch, I’m a wizard.
-
That kind of recovery? You’re a witch.

This.

So it looks like my decision has been made for me! the Harvard MBA applications closed last month! (I thought it was still April for some reason)
The next round of applications (for 2013) opens in October, so I’ll re-visit the whole thing then.
In the mean time, I need to get my resume looking spiffy!
-
I think that’s the best option by far. Getting a break from study, some money, finishing your undergrad…you’ll be a lot happier.
More specifically, we now know you’ll have time to game more, so expect to be hassled for multiplayer by all of us 😀-
More importantly, he should have more time to spend on here. YOU SHOULD SPEND ALL YOUR TIME HERE TAD!

Or on Twitter with more puns!

All the puns! ALL OF THEM!

Only if I get taught them first!

So your undergrad degree isn’t business related? What is it, if you don’t mind me asking? 🙂
-
Well, it is, in a way.
I’m doing the *deep breath* Bachelor of Information Technology Co-operative Scholarship Program at the University of Technology, Sydney.
It’s a mix of IT and business. The idea is to produce IT business leaders (Project managers, Business Analysts, CIO’s, etc…)
I want to do an MBA to get a stronger idea of the business side of things.

Hint: don’t refer to your calendar confusion on your application.

Haha. I wish I had that much confidence in my ability to get in! They only allow 13% of applicants into the course!
I think those are wise words. I will not mention it! (I hope they don’t read TAY!)

New TV show idea
Bedtime Funtime Storytime. Jordi reads her stories featuring all the children’s favourite characters. Suggest late night time slot to avoid mid pilot axing.
-
Warning: What is seen cannot be unseen… unless you’re me and can delete the logs.
-
If it reaches a second season I’ll have guest readers!
-
Let me guess
…
Chris Evans?
-
Reading a story where Iron Man drills a new hole into the Cap.
YEAHHHHHH
-
Special guest Chris Evans reads: The Avengers fanfiction, starring… himself? 22 minutes of Chris Evans being uncomfortable reading out things being done to the character he plays!
-
-
-
Going to derail this for a sec.
I have noticed that when Jordi talks about this kinda stuff most peeps find it amusing, if a bit disturbing.
But if it was a guy who often mentioned sexy fan-fics or crushes on a actress or whatever I have no doubt he would be considered a creep.
Not ragging on anyone, just seems like a bit of a double standard.-
It’s ‘k, I think we all understand Jordi is mad creepy.
It’s why no one is willing to clean her room for her. They are afraid of what they will find.
-
I find it creepy, but rather than the Bish solution(go to a different room, and hope that it stops), I find the best solution is to run with it. Because making things creepier is FUN.
-
Probably
-
i read somewhere that this standard has come about because the majority of kidnappers/rapists/kidpedos are statistically male which may be why we automatically look at a guy who does these things and think they are creepy. it’s hard to to eliminate social stigmas surrounding certain topics, this is probably one of them.
-
Woah woah woah. Lots of talking. I am so confused.
@Ruffles Bad luck on the root canal. It is gross and unfun.
Steak Night!
F4ction bowed out early. Apparently he has friends. The whore.
Either way it will be a cool. Tech Knight, Neg Zero, Tigerion with a guest appearance of Mrs. Tigs! Booking is 6.15pm so no need to run there. I will be shopping 😛
AAAAANNNNDDD… Chris Evans!
*flies off*
-
*sighs* F4CTION!
I’ll probably be there early, who knows
-
How early?
-
5:30 maybe?
-
Hnngh well the booking isn’t until 6.15… I’m not sure if the others are planning to turn up that early. Why don’t you go buy a nice prezzie for your mum?
-
Pass. You don’t know my parents 😛
I’ll most likely just wander in the city for a while, see what’s open still when I go tonight
-
Well I’ll probably be arriving in the city at maybe 5:50ish. But I need to withdraw money and then poke into minotaur. Maybe we can meet there?
-
Yeah I think I remember where minotaur is… Elizabeth st right?
I got shown there once and jizzed after I saw all the Warhammer 40K novels all just sitting there like a library
-
-
JB HiFi is your friend

-
I want to go to dinner in Melbourne 🙁 WHY DOES EVERYONE TAKE LEAVE WHEN I WANT TO GO PLACES?! Batmang meat is looking good though! What day is it again?
OH, AND HAVE FUN TONIGHT. EAT ALL THE STEAK. GET FAT, CONTENT FOOD BELLIES.
-
July 21st I think? I BOUGHT YELLOW STOCKINGS SO I CAN BE ROBIN
I can probably get there a little bit earlier but not much earlier, was aiming to be there around 6:10-6:15.
Incidentally I have never actually been into Minotaur 🙁
-
They’re open til 8pm tonight! Maybe we can sneak in before they close 😀
New TV show idea
Trojan. A Maury Povich style talk show where Trjn has guests come on who have problems. He then calmly explains that they are wrong and why. Has a weekly segment of This Weeks Top 10 Hilarious Starcraft Strategies alternated with The Best Of Reddit.
-
Idea:
Trojan:
A comedy where a group of Mongolians travel forward in time, trying to invade modern day China. -
I hope there’s a segment where he can tell people they’re not the father.
-
“You are not the father!”
“I should hope not! I only met this woman five minutes ago when you grabbed me out of the audience and told me to play along!”
“That doesn’t change the fact that you’re not the father!”
-
-
I prefer ‘Bunny Talks Down to People”.
Same thing but a much broader scope.
-
This is the TAY equivalent of Shiggy’s E3 predictions. A huge win for a crappy Friday! Keep it up 🙂
So I just had a random thought. In Vidya Gaems it’s all the rage to allow the player to build a relationship with someone in the game. This got me wonder in there a game where 2 NPC’s start to build a relationship and eventually sleep with each other? It would be interesting in say Mass Effect if you didn’t build a relationship/secs up with certain crew members they would slowly build a relationship with each other. It could add a whole “love triangle” thing to an RPG.
(Also, INB4 Jordi fanfic of Sheppard walking in on Tali/Liara having sex then joining in.)
-
Man, I was trying to be funny by spelling Video Games as “Vidya Gaems” then when I reread it I made atrocious grammatical / spelling errors. /o\

Yes, it’s back… again.
I’ve been having a crappy day, so I cooked and ate 1kg of potato gems to compensate. Discuss.
-
Did you find $10?
-
If I had it could no longer be called a crappy day 🙂
-

HUUUUUUUGS
-
Potato gems are delicious!
Helping?

Won’t that make your day more crap-filled?
Or just your toilet bowl? -

#InnerCircleSecrets

I killed a wizard and took his cape so that now I am the wizard.
I have a certificate and everything. -
I believe the solution is to be a with. There’s certain words, or combinations, or something the it picks up as spam, which is really very saddening.
-
I WANT TO BE A WITH
MAKE ME A WITH!!!

Dammit, I’ll send you overseas on a boar!

Yeah I get that too. I usually use Shrib to write the note and then post the link here.

T.T now everyone is posting super long ROT13 posts and I can’t even post a sentence.

Wow, that’s certainly a third word right there.
-

-
-
-
Doc!
Yeah, we should Vita some time. What games do you have, or are planning to get?
I have still only purchased 2 games for mine; Unit 13 and Escape Plan. Wondering what I might get next (Rayman is on the list)
-
I ALSO HAVE VITA
but all i’ve got is ultimate marvel vs capcom 3, uncharted, and i got motorstorm RC for 10 bucks, which was totally worth it, it’s a fun little game.
-
I might get UMvC3, although I’m rubbish at fighting games.
Motorstorm RC looks like pretty good value. I got Wipeout and Ridge Racer as bonuses when I bought the Vita, so another racing game seems like overkill.-
although it’s not a normal racing game, it’s more like micro machines
-
True. Wipeout is impossible and Ridge Racer is kinda… empty. Maybe I’ll grab it.
-
I have Uncharted! And a whole heap of PSP games. What do I need so we can Vita? I have MvC2 and UMvC on PS3. I’m loathe to give Capcom more money for that game… Or any other at the moment.
WAT DO?
-
Mortal Kombat?
BlazBlue?
Hustle Kings?
SPINAL SWORD!? -
Or MHF Unite (PSP)
-
SPINAL SWORD!!!!
-
-
-
Apparently TAY is about half the people in Australia that puchased a Vita.
Personally I have:
– Disgaea 3
– Rayman
– Everybody’s Golf
– Uncharted: Golden Abyss
– Blazblue: Continuum Shift Extend
– Lumines: Electronic Symphony
– Escape Plan
– Super Stardust Delta
I have actually played:
– Disgaea 3
– Lumines: Electronic Symphony
– Super Stardust Delta
I will be buying next:
– Gravity Rush
I’m also eyeing off the upcoming JP Hatsune Miku game (but may wait for the PS3 version), and hoping for localised versions of Ciel Nosurge and Tales of Innocence R (though I’d rather get Xillia). I was pretty interested in Dragon’s Crown but was probably going to grab that for PS3.
-
Oh oh, they also announced we’re getting that Ragnarok game right? The one that’s basically a monster hunter clone? Getting that. Especially if I can collect cute hats. They were all like PLAY IN THE RICH WORLD OF RAGNAROK ONLINE and all I remember about Ragnarok Online is collecting cute hats, kiting horrible caterpillar things and phallic monsters that lusted after my spriteflesh.
Just tried posting a link to something, but it didn’t work. Lemme try again.

P.S., you should all check it out 😉
-
oh god, that 8-bit-dubstep happy birthday remix that loops every 10 seconds (with a noticeable gap) is amazing
-
I can’t get the gap to disappear for some reason 🙁
-
no keep it, it makes it even better 🙂
-
wait, sorry, i think i’m sounding a bit dick-headish
i was actually impressed by the game, much better than what i could ever do, once again sorry if i offended you in some way
-
Lol, no problems, not offended. It’s slightly irritating playing it, because I keep thinking “well, this isn’t that good, and that could be way better” I’m almost sick of the game now 😛
-
-
Thanks. 🙂
Seeing as though I only spent 5 minutes making the music, and that I only have a vague understanding of what is and isn’t dubstep, any similarities it has to dubstep music is entirely coincidental 😛

TV show idea:
Peter Molydeux, Freeze and Shiggy sit around having ideas for an hour.
-
yes, I ripped off the idea, but I figured Freeze wouldn’t do one about himself, so…
-
Second season: They’re forced to make one of those ideas a reality.
-
… with Ruffleberg judging it in the final episode?
-
How about each have a button to push if they want to coach that idea?
Too obvious?
-
Why even bother they are doomed to failure unless they rip of mortal Kombat. 😛

New TV show idea
The Shane W Smith Power Hour. Shane lounging on a pile of velvet cushions, staring smokily into te camera while saying “shanewsmith.com/blog” in a throaty whisper for the entire hour. Occasional pause to give away a game.

Gold Logie.
Anyone here remember Robot Wars?
-
i do!!! i helped a mate build a robot and fly to the states back in 95. Back before it even had a tv show.
-
Wow!
Awesome! 😀
-
-
I do, such an awesome show! \o/
Can today just end?
-
in a hour good sir. Well for me in a hour.
-
I’ve got two hours left. One of those hours will be just me, sitting in the office doing nothing. The other other will be me, sitting in the office doing nothing while some co-workers try to rush a few things out the door before heading off for the weekend.
-
Should be working… meh… watching Centurion.
-
-
not yet! I’m working my butt off trying to finish some stuff in time.
-
This. Why isn’t today over!
GUYS GUYS GUYS
ITS A FABULOUS OCCASION
KOTAKU ACTUALLY DID AN ARTICLE ABOUT SUPER MNC!!!
wait… it’s only because it has something to do with team fortress
sad face
-
also, watch the video on it, it is quite enjoyable
-
That game rally needed some sort of release hype. I had no idea it was officially out until i saw it on steam under new releases. Its all to confusing 😛
-
it’s because they sort of accidently prematurely released it xD
they were trying to invite more people to the beta, but steam screwed up on them, so they literally said (and this is qouting the devs twitter) “F*** it, we’re doing it live”, so yeah, they didn’t have much time to hype it.
but as the unofficial super mnc hype-master of TAY, you should all play it if you like moba’s, for serious
-
Do you know if they are still going to be doing the “massive updates” thing where the whole thing is pretty much dl’d again each time, or are they reducing that now that it’s live?
I played it a little, but the 2GB (or so?) every few days was irritating, and it has remained ‘update paused’ ever since.
-
they are still about 1 gb updates a week…
that’s something they’ve been saying they are going to fix but stilll haven’t…
i like the game enough to endure them, but i can see how people don’t like them
-
-
Yeah but unfortunately I am pretty over shooters and was never a PC FPS player anyway.
-
just saying it’s more MOBA than shooter, it’s nothing like any other shooter out there that’s for sure.
-
But you still have to aim 😛
I gave it a go but it did not really grab me. -
i could make a joke about a character in the game who has a grab… but no one here would get it…
oh well i’ll say it anyway…maybe because you didn’t verse a veteran?
*sigh*
-
-
-
If I have my facts straight not even the developers knew it was out until it appeared on steam.
I have moved on from potato gems to 40% chocolate chip cookies from ALDI. Can’t stop eating
-
I fail to see your problem.
-
No problem, but I might regret this binge later.
-
-
You know what chocolate chip cookies are the best? Australia Choice (AC) Cookies, K-Mart sells them I’m pretty sure.
-
AC cookies are the best!
-
If they’re the ones I’m thinking of, sold by Coles too, then I agree completely. The ALDI ones are okay, but they look really weird.

Whoever said root canals were painless was a liar.

Is this it? Have I become the official creeper of Kotaku?
YAYYYY!
-
Nah, Blaghman’s still here.
-
I’m glad you posted here Bish, I was beginning to worry that something terrible had happened to you and your soul was now trapped within Shane’s body
-
And just why would that be so terrible!
-
The pressures of being Fabio would drive me insane.
-
All that shirtlessness?
-
Especially trying in a cold canberra winter, with the rock-hard nipples.

Just like Bill Clinton
*rimshot -
Ha Ha. What you did there, I see.

I was worried that he saw a speak of dust on a light shade and made a rickety tower of boxes and chairs to get high enough to clean it.
After one of the boxes gave way he fell onto his head putting himself into a coma, while his soul possessed you. So I wasn’t saying that it would be terrible possessing you, just that falling of a rickety tower of chairs and boxes and ending up in a coma is terrible.
Maybe morning creeper then? Someone’s gotta fill blaghs shoes before 12 noon.

Hey, hey, hey!

THIS! How could you people forget The Postman?!
have you hissed and then exploded?
I hope my musing did not offend.
But I don’t doubt you would wear that crown with pride anyway 🙂
-
Nah I’m not offended. I think it’s valid. I’ve never really thought it that way. A lot of my guy friends like to tell me about the girls they like and a lot of their physical features. I knew a guy who loved talking about how hot Jessica Alba was. He even went to a shopping centre when she came to promote Fantastic Four.
Maybe I just come from the dregs of society. *crawls back under bridge*

I’d say they tell you that stuff because they know you are cool with it and won’t think ill of them.
Doubt they mention it to many others, other chicks especially.
I’m bored. random question time – what do you think would happen if a person, who happend to be a conjoined twin, was found guilty of a crime & sentanced to prison, while the other conjoined twin was not charged / found innocent?
court ordered separation?
-
Would the other conjoined twin be charged as an accomplice? It’s a bit hard for them to not be involved.
-
well if one just randomly stabbed a passer-by with no prior warning, for example.
then the second twin, couldnt be an accomplice.I wonder if theres a precedent for this….
-
Yeah but #2 would have to know that #1 had a knife and would probably know if #1 was unhinged enough to do something like that.
-
What if #1 got drunk while #2 was sleeping and pushed someone in front of a bus very suddenly. No weapon, no previous mental state.
-
I guess whether or not that is feasible depends on the type on conjoinedness and the level of motor control each personality has.
The few conjoined twins I have seen on docos needed to work together to walk and do stuff.
But as you said, there would probably be no sentence or if there was it would not be regular prison time.
-
-
-
What if the law that was broken carried the death penalty?
-
-
I’d imagine if there was opposition it would end up like Rowan Atkinson in Johnny English Reborn. Hilarious. Someone should videotape it.
File it under Adam Sandler movie ideas
-
“Hi Universal Pictures? yeah. I have a crap idea that you’re gonna love – Just give me $5million & your worst SNL commedian”
-
I was gonna say Jodi Picoult novel, but same difference
-
Isn’t there a terrible comedy movie about conjoined twins. It wasnt made by Adam Sandler though.
-
-
That’s probably it.
The title / poster seems familiar. Never saw the movie I was told it was atrocious though.
-
-
I don’t think a prison sentence could be ordered. Civil libertarians would be all over it. Some other punishment, like an ankle bracelet or permanent probation or…
I don’t know! That’s a HARD question.
How would a conjoined twin not be a part of any crime their twin committed?
Anyhow, they’d probably let them both off.
I remember hearing a story about some similar situation. Some identical twins got in trouble with the law, the prosecution could not prove which twin was guilty so they got off. It may have been a slightly older case… more than a century old :p
-
easy, if #1 just did something so spontaneous & unpredictable & not premeditated, that #2 could have had no prior knowledge.
i dunno, Its just a hypthetical scenario I put out there coz its a slow afternoon.
What if they were sentenced to death?
-
That is probably the easiest solution. The reason most co-joined twins aren’t split is the high risk of killing one of them or the sharing of organs.
In this case, knock them out, perform the surgery and if they die there save the trouble of injecting them later.-
You can’t subject unwilling parties to surgeries like that.
Also, you might kill the wrong twin.
-
But what if the innocent one relies on the other one to live?
-
Well rarely the depend on the other twin, rather the other twin’s organs. Since that twin isn’t going to need them, well, cut and sew.
However bunny makes a good point about forcing them to have surgery.New solution. A cell on the edge of the prison. The criminal twin is locked inside, while the innocent twin is on the outside of the prison and “free” to go where they like
-
-
My brain….
Can’t comprehend this situation…
WHAT DO!?
All I’m hearing from this conversation is that I should glue myself to Blaghman and commit crimes so that I can get off the hook due to probable legal loopholes or those terrible, terrible civil rights.
Judge from california wrote a piece on this hypothetical scenario :

@Blood Apathy
Cheers for the invite to your Retro Game fest but I think it’ll be a bit weird and awkward since everyone knows each other and I’ll just be the only random there. I can also be fairly shy when meeting new people by myself (which I haven’t done since like high school :P). There’s also the age gap and because of it, I wouldn’t know or have played most of the retro games (I started with PS1/N64).
But we’ll definitely catch up some time in the future for future Melbourne meats (Batman? ) since you live fairly close to me. I’m still at Uni anyway and have an assignment due on Wednesday. But I should be free to attend all the meats and TAYbie gatherings once my exams are over sometime in late June though :D.
-
Guess that means you’ll be at the Blaghmeat then.
HINT.
-
I think the Blaghmeat is 23rd of June? If I recall my exams finish on the 21st so Nova has 2 days to drive down to Melbourne and give me a lift 😀
-
My Birthday what a coincidence ….
When is this batman Melbourne meat? I keep hearing about it but never saw any details. Put it on TAYNAMES maybe?
-
Not sure if you’ll see this but I’m pretty sure it’s July 21st
-
-
-
Hey Rize, convince Pixel to drive up. It’s a chance to give people a lift, and see his bestest buddy ol’ pal!
He’ll also get to see you, I guess(I’m really not sure who I’m implying is his best buddy ol’ pal, but whatever)
-
AwwwwwWWWWSHITYEAH!
…
I’ll work on that.
-
-
-
’tis a shame. I’ll be there partying hard 😀
Art director and the Creative Director just came back to the shops with two giant nerf guns, bringing the studio total to 7 nerf guns.
This friday afternoon is going to get interesting 🙂
-
Where do you work?
-
Carsales, we’ve had a busy as hell fortnight so we’re letting off some steam. Some bright orange, dart shaped steam 😉
-
That sounds really fun.
-
Hasn’t happened before but it’s great fun.
Tip: if you work in an office or studio, bring in a nerf gun. Just wait, after a month the Nerf arms race will have kicked in and everybody will have them 🙂

I don’t know if there’s anyone on TAY who hasn’t yet bought a copy of my book, but there are currently a couple of giveaways running for Volume One. Here’s one: http://wefancybooks.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/guest-post-writers-who-write-about.html

I entered, hopefully I win. Thanks for the heads up. Cool interviews by the way.
-
There’s more here: http;//shanewsmith.com (promotions tab along the top) including an interview by our own blaghman. Also, good luck! 🙂
-
BTW have you ever thought of writing a book/short story based on TAY? Like me, I bet you spend a number of hours here and maybe you’ve thought, “these guys are crazy, awesome and everything in between.”
A lot of weird, cool conversations happen here and it may well form the backdrop to an interesting tale.
Maybe you prefer fiction, I don’t know, I was just curious.

Bat Cakes. A romantic comedy starring Batgirl and Cakesmith as they raid ancient undiscovered libraries. Watch as Batgirl shivers as she rubs herself all I Er with the books and Cakesmith puts them in his bag and never looks at them again. Laugh at the constant bickering and witty banter between the two.
-
I’d put $20 towards this. Kickstarter, anyone?
-
wait.. she rubs herself what now???
😐-
I rub myself with books because books are sexy. I also will wear a book bikini which will turn your paperback into a hardcover. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
JK. You’ll actually throw up.
-
-
One complaint: there aren’t enough cakes. Can’t we have an episode or two a season where they go to an ancient bakery or something?

Ancient bakeries had phallic ornaments/statues/paintings/wall decorations etc; because they thought it would help it rise.

McGarnical Shore. The worse show on TV. Reality show following McGarnical and his dog as he expresses unpopular opinions and feeds trolls. For some reason is ridiculously popular. Has an unusual and questionable relationship with a small boy named Billy.

Neg0,

Hi peeps. Minecraft.
I got it on PC not long ago and really like it. Last night I got it on xbox and really like it there too. Maybe more so, for couch reasons and the friendly in-built recipe system.
The biggest complaint I see about the xbox version (SD tvs aside) is the map size is “only” 1024 x 1024. I don’t really know what this means. I haven’t spent long traversing the xbox version, so I haven’t done a Christopher Columbus yet and stumbled off the edge of the world.
Can anyone enlighten me on what impact this means on my game? Thanks!
-
Would mean the world is only 1024 blocks long & wide (possibly even high) so it’s a pretty small area of where you can build. Unlike the PC version which almost seems endless.
-
The impact should be fairly minimal. You’ll be able to find ample amounts of whatever you like, and you shouldn’t get close to that when building things(for reference, the largest thing I made was about 190m by 160m, and 50m high(to clarify, the world height in that version of MC is 128m), and it was HUGE). So yeah, not really going to impact you that much.
-
Relative to the PC version, it’s small.
Gameplay wise… you’ll maybe only be able to fit a few mega-constructions in a world. Only. Possibly a bad thing if you find out you really enjoy building giant things. But not game-ruining bad or anything. -
Thanks team!
So far, I am not really doing much “lego” work but am enjoying the “survival” aspect. Closing off a cosy cave shelter, building a small shack, trekking out to a new mountain and building a shelter and mining from there.
So much fun. I can see myself playing on both versions.
😀
So this is the dress code for the place that Steel Panther is playing at in Brisbane. I had to laugh at rat tails & stepped haircuts (I haven’t seen those in years).
But some of it seems a little nonsense, right? Excluding someone in a t-shirt, shorts & runner, what? I wear that kind of stuff to the pub & gigs all the time…
Today I learned what a 4X science fiction game was.
(Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate)
The moar you know.
-
The complex version of KKND
-
I always wanted to play a 4X game, but damn, they are way too complex. I have enough difficulty with Sins of a Solar Empire, which is, for lack of a better term, a simplified, RTS version, of a 4X.
Way too much thought required. Why can’t I just tech to mothership?
-
Civilization V my friend.
-
I am terrible at Civ games. So very bad.
-

Yeah I love space games, but RTSs are not my forte. I still wish I could play Homeworld properly.
That’s why I am very happy that everybody seems to be starting up kickstarters for Space Sims now 😀-
Oh man, Homeworld. SO GOOD! I really hope they make a new one. I only played the Homeworld games relatively recently(3 or 4 years after the second came out), but they were so good.
-
-
You know what?
(Seriously)
You guys are awesome. High five.
-
o/
-
If we’re so awesome, then why has your presence in TAY been only sporadic at best recently? *sniffle* :'(
-
I love you guys too.. and I miss TAY these days :\ Damn worrk! Feel more like a lurker again. Mostly cos by the time I get to read half of TAY, the convos are pages old and noone would see what I typed anyway..
-
-
Yeahhhh, can I like, air-high-five you?
I’m not entirely comfortable with the physical contact thing. -
o/
Yeah! MaccyG!
-
McGarnical! Is it me or have you not been posting as much in TAY lately (or am I blind in which case I’M SO SORRY I’VE BEEN IGNORING YOU’)
Did you ever get the Alan Wake DLC done?
-
I’ve hardly been here! Ive just been busy I guess. I do miss it.
Haven’t played more of The Signal yet. It seemed to be a massive difficulty spike. I’ll definitely give it another go, and if I’m really struggling I’ll put it on easy. Have played a bit of American Nightmare though and that’s really good too!
-
My new mouse arrived today! \o/
My keyboard has not. The mouse was despatched 5 days after the keyboard. Both from OGS.
Okay then.
Dark Side of The Moon….
Oh how I love thee….
-
I prefer it when the Dark Side of the Moon is mysterious, to be honest.
One of the four qualities of being a mang.-
…Anyone?
-
Tay, I have only one thing to say. That is “ow.”
-
ow as in ouch/pain? How come? :O
-
Ukelele. I tried to play it again. It still hurts
-
-
Sounds like you’re pressing too hard, especially if it still hurts.
-
It’s fine =D I’m still playing anyway XD
-
Oh, I forgot to mention, I downloaded the happening so Mum and I could watch it after Loops showed me the “whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo.”
It was hilarious. Unfortunately though, there is truth to the movie. Plants can release chemicals, be usually just to trick insects.
-
The Happening is so stupid lol
-
Yeah, Mum thought it was more humorous then frightening
-
-
terrible movie.
New TV show idea
The Strange Ways. A Better Homes and Gardens style show hosted by Strange. She instructs on all the tips and tricks of sewing, cooking and child rearing all to the driving rhythms of the heaviest metal existing.
-
Another one:
Gropus of contestants are taken to a shooting range, but instead of shooting tclay targets, they shoot clones of Lil Wayne for a big cash prize.
The name of the show?
Skeet-skeet-skeet Shooting. -
FOOD
-
Yay! I get a show. 😀
-
Tonight Strange has some tips for getting unruly kids away from your game collection. Special guests Cannibal Corpse show you how to crochet some beautiful doll cardigans and Five Finger Death Punch have a scrumptious recipe for Blueberry and Oatmeal Muffins.
-
This is brilliant!
You just made my day, I needed that giggle very badly. 😀
-
-
New TV show idea
Harls and the P.I.G. A buddy cop show starring Harli as the jaded veteran of the force who has been teamed up with the wise cracking, rule breaking, anthropomorphic penicl pig, P.I.G. Each week they somehow manage to put aside their differences and solve the hardest cases that no one can, from who stole the TAY cookies to just who is the real Shane/Fabio.
-
So where’s my show? D=
I have the overwhelming urge to watch South Park right now…..
New TV show idea
Shiggy’s Ultimate Celebrity Cook-off Challenge. Iron Chef style show hosted by Shiggy where failed reality TV stars compete in a cook off. Each week there is a “surprise” ingredient which is always bacon. Contestants get bonus points for shouting the loudest. Winners receive a 30 second guest spot on That’s My Pez!
TAY TV’s Mid Season Show Line Up 2012 Part 1
Blagh’d! Hidden camera show with people just talking. When they get a fact wrong Blaghman busts in and corrects them. Then a person jumps up, points and screams “YOU JUST GOT BLAGH’D!” I propose this be an hour and a half to two hour long show showing three times a week with a weekly best of recap on Sundays.
XBN with Sir Greenius. All the latest on Xenoblade followed by a half hour sales pitch. Ratings will be poor as everyone keeps promising to watch but few do.
The Ruffleberg Report. A Fox style hard hitting current affairs rant show with an angry host telling you why today’s games are going to be the ruin of society. Each episode will end with a piece in an older game and how much better it was designed then now.
Scree’s Suited-up Sorry Show. Each episode Scree shows off a new cosplay suit with sewing tips. She then starts apologizing profusely for the last 10 minutes.
Why I Hate The Humans. Tech Knight hosts a home video show featuring clips of the lowest, most vile and scummiest behavior humans are capable of. Still funnier then Australia’s Funniest Home Videos.
Good Morning with Chuloopa. Morning show that has segments demonstrating the latest and greatest in wang and wang related technologies. Rest of the show is reports on the best of 9gag.
That’s My Pez! A Eddie Murphy style “comedy” where every character is played by Pez. Each episode ha a special guest appearance by Cakesmith, who shouts a clever insult catch phrase to riotous applause from the live audience.
Bedtime Funtime Storytime. Jordi reads her stories featuring all the children’s favourite characters. Suggest late night time slot to avoid mid pilot axing.
Trojan. A Maury Povich style talk show where Trjn has guests come on who have problems. He then calmly explains that they are wrong and why. Has a weekly segment of This Weeks Top 10 Hilarious Starcraft Strategies alternated with The Best Of Reddit.
The Shane W Smith Power Hour. Shane lounging on a pile of velvet cushions, staring smokily into the camera while saying “shanewsmith.com/blog” in a throaty whisper at different camera angles for the entire hour. Occasional pause to give away a game.
Bat Cakes. A romantic comedy starring Batgirl and Cakesmith as they raid ancient undiscovered libraries and bakeries. Watch as Batgirl shiver as she rubs herself all over with the books and Cakesmith puts them in his bag and never looks at them again. Laugh at the constant bickering and witty banter between the two.
McGarnical Shore. The worst show on TV. Reality show following McGarnical and his dog as he expresses unpopular opinions and feeds trolls. For some reason is ridiculously popular. Has an unusual and questionable relationship with a small boy named Billy.
The Strange Ways. A Better Homes and Gardens style show hosted by Strange. She instructs on all the tips and tricks of sewing, cooking and child rearing all to the driving rhythms of the heaviest metal existing. Tonight Strange has some tips for getting unruly kids away from your game collection. Special guests Cannibal Corpse show you how to crochet some beautiful doll cardigans and Five Finger Death Punch have a scrumptious recipe for Blueberry and Oatmeal Muffins.

-
Where’s Virus’? =P He’s already complained once
-
And i’ll complain again god damn it!
-
It does say part 1. More to come.
-
I know, but I’m just warning you that Virus is complaining =P
-
Shush!
-
-
-
-
This is awesome 🙂
I would totally watch Strange Ways & Shiggy’s Cook-off.-
Agreed, Strange Ways sounds like the best so far.
-
-
I’m going to guess mine will be somehow driving related. The possibilities….
Keep these up Freeze. They are brilliant
-
Hey Nova, did you deliver the maccas Batgirl ordered on twitter last night? 😀
-
Unfortunately I was already well and truly unconscious. But I’ll make it up to her at the next meat. Promise
-
Good man 😀 o/
-
-
-
-
I like that I am summed up as “Guy who knows lots of crap, and likes correcting people.”
It’s so accurate.
God i love nightTAY on twitter. So much randomness.
-
is it just Pez & Shiggy flirting with each other?
I forgot I emailed my uni almost a month and a half ago to see if they were axing a degree or not. Still nothing 😛 Oh, deaaaaar.
hang on a sec…
I was just told that the Diablo 3 servers wont be going online until tuesday 15th US time… that means anyone who gets the game in Oz wont be able to play it until about 5pm EST…
not that I was gonna be able to get home & play it before then, but still… thats a bit shit.
-
That news is so very last week.
And indeed. It’s just like Steam though, so it doesn’t really bother me.
-
I’M SLOW OK!?
also, I havent been paying much attention to anything about it these last few weeks.
-
Where is everybody?
I’m lonely…:(
-
I’m here! No need to go crazy, crazyguy!
-
Aw it’s alright.
-
I was like
“OMG SCREE IS STILL ONLINE AT THIS TIME”
But it’s only 9:30 :P. Feels much later!
-
It does feel much later.
Watching RE Degeneration
-
-
-
I’m here, but I’m not very interesting…
I know, STAR WARS MONKEY!
Wait, that’s not right.
-
I AINT ‘FRAID OF NO GHOSTS
DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO! DO DO DO DO DO DOO!
Reconfirming WSFM is best station ever.
-
Also confirming I am the best at using the Reply Button because I can.
-
BUSTIN MAKES ME FEEL GOOD
/not a euphemism
-
At this point I don’t really care that I’m singing to myself.
BECAUSE WHO YOU GONNA CALL
GHOSTBUSTERS!-
When I was a kid, I used to get so scared at the part of the song that went “invisible man sleeping in your bed” that I would check in and around my bed every night for ghosts. Come to think of it… that’s still a pretty scary thought. D:
It was weird though, because the movie itself didn’t scare me much at all. 😛
-
-
Oh man, remember that time Pez confused Barry Manilow for Barry White?
Wat. -
Safety Dance!
-
RE:Degeneration
There is a zombie hoard out there, but I hear a survivor! Quick I need a weapon!
*is handed a red and white umbrella*
Claire: The irony
-
Oh and Leon is even more bishie then ever
-
Still better then the other movies.
-
It’s just ironic that Umbrella, who uses the white and red umbrella as their logo, created the T-Virus. To fight the infected, Claire gets an umbrella which is red and white.
-
-
That’s the new one right? If I remember correctly my mate said one of the actors from Sons of Anarchy is in it, and he’s a right jerk. He plays that type well xD
-
It’s the animated movie from Capcom. It’s set after 4, but before 5 if I remember right
-
Ah right.
-
I’m a little lost because I havne’t played RE1, or 3. I played a bit of 2. I need these games D=
-
Ahaha, you really don’t.
BARRY
BARRYAlso they have aged pretty badly.
-
-
-
My new mouse? Amazing*.
*Please note, this is the first mouse above a basic one I’ve ever owned.
-
Oh man, the moment you switch to a good mouse from crappy ones is amazing. I can barely use normal mice now, it’s terrible.
-
WHAT ONE DID YOU BUY?
-
Logitech G400
-
Nice nice.
-
-
Dear Capcom,
You can’t pass oxygen from one person to another via the mouth. You see, when we breathe out it’s actually carbon Dioxide. On that note, I also think that guns stop working underwater, what with the gunpowder being wet and well.
Sincerely,
Scree
PS. the movie started off alright, but then it started to get really cheesy. The last half hour was where it was bad
-
Cheesy page get =P
I know you hate it Strange, but I couldn’t resist
-
Not to be that guy, but I’m fairly certain when you breathe out there is still oxygen in it as we don’t use all of what we breathe in.
-
Correct. We usually only absorb about 20% of the Oxygen in our lungs, that’s why mouth-to-mouth respiration is effective.
-
Respiration? While technically correct, the word you were looking for Blaghs was “resuscitation.”
-
The important thing to take from this is that compared to gills, lungs are ridiculously inefficient. Fish’s are awesome, yo.
-
SCREE JUST GOT BLAGH’D!!!
-
=( And now I feel stupid. Thanks guys.
-
Don’t feel stupid. You’ve learned something which isn’t stupid.
-
Exactly, I only knew this thanks to Year 11 Biology.
-
-
-
-
Fishes* derp.
What about the gun then? Does that still work underwater?
Still it was…weird. Leon lost his silly one liners and was Mr. Serious man all throughout the movie.
He also had the same facial expression the whole way through.
Capcom, you did a great job making him look pretty but is it that hard to animate his face? And Leon’s love interest, (can’t remember her name) just doesn’t sit right with me. I always thought he had a thing for Ada. Maybe it’s just the tit for tat.
But yeah, great job everyone! (except Leon)
-
No you are right about the guns.
Also shooting into water does not work very well as the surface tension drastically slows the bullet or even destroys it if the velocity is high enough. -
yeah, degeneration threw me off, as i also thought he had a thing for ada, maybe he got over her after thinking she was dead for 5 years, then the next time he sees her she really doesn’t give a crap about him?
-
I’m not sure. I can’t remember how long after Racoon city incident RE4 was set, because if it was under 7 years then the movie is set before RE 4, but before RE3 (If I remember right, Claire Redfield is in RE3).
If it’s after, then it’s set between RE4 and RE5.
It’s very confusing. Especially since he totally still has the hots for Ada in RE4
I keep saying to myself “you should go on Teamspeak and join the party. You know all these guys. You talk all the time.”
So I open it up, bring up the details then have a complete panic attack before clicking connect and end up shutting TS down.
-
What the hell man!
I go on pretty frequently now and all I do is sit there lurking in the corner 😛 (no mic)
-
Also there’s no real party atm just normal talk 😛
TAYbar is probably another day
-
I know. I’m pretty useless. Before the last meat I attended I felt like I was about to vomit before walking into Welbots.
-
I think that’s normal. Meeting people in real life is so different to chatting online to them. Especially when it’s such a large group.
-
First Sydney Meat. Nervous as [rude word] that I walked by the place twice before going in. Strange said she needed a drink beforehand, too.
It’s not unusual!TO BE LOVED BY ANYONE, NANANANANAAAAA
IT’S NOT UNUSUAL TO HAVE FUN WITH ANYONE!
DADADAAAAAAAAAAA! -
I LOVE THAT SONG!
-
I stood at the bottom of the escalator for a few minutes before heading up it to meet everyone at the monorail station last month. I think you can tell I was nervous because I simply stood on the fringe of the circle for thirty seconds before doing or saying anything.
TeamSpeak is similarly initially nervewracking. I always feel bad about coming on and switching to the TAYbar channel without saying anything to the people in the main channel now, too. :p
-
I was lucky. I met Shiggy on the train, and he Shiggied the Shiggy Shiggy…
By which I mean we derped around until we found the right place. But he was cool.
-
I still don’t say anything 😛
Keyboard warrior, yo
-
-
-
I know that feeling.
Aww, we’re not that scary.
-
I dunno Jo, you’re pretty terrifying. I would not want to meet you in a dark alley.
We’re not that bad!
-
Actually, we’re pretty bad.
-
#Helping
-
Yeah, I think I’ve dropped in maybe 3 or 4 times, generally after imbibing a fair bit of liquid courage. I’ve mostly only talked super late at night when there’s only one or two other people actually around. My timezone is makes this easier than it would be for east coast folk.
We will serenade you with sweet songs from the 80s!
-
Bodies in the saaaaaaaand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We’ll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Way down in Kokoooomo-
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could everrrrrrrrrrrr dooooooooooooooooooooooooo
-
Hah, that’s what I was like the first time I went on TS/before the meat.
I tend to do that before anything I’m not used to, really. Ringing people I don’t know on the phone is the worst. 😛
-
Ringing people I know is the worst 😛
TAYbar! TAYbar! TAYbar! I’m so excited. Work is turning me into an alcoholic and I don’t even care.
-
I did not really drink till I started working full time and now I am slowly drinking more and more.
-
I had my own private TAYbar tonight because shit day was shit.
-
🙁
HUUUUUUUUUGS
-
GRATS ON KUDOS, CAKEMANG
-
I TRIED TO GIVE HIM HINTS TWICE TODAY AND HE STILL DIDN’T CHECK!
THIS WOULD OF MADE HIS DAY SO MUCH BETTER!!! 🙁
<3 YOU CAKEMAN
-
I AM NOT VERY SUBTLE
-
I believe it’s called Bishing.
And I completely missed kudos yesterday.
Really does mean a lot.
-
-
-
So TAYbar tomorrow then? I need to buy some more cider.
-
I need to buy more champagne!
-
Sham-pahg-en?
-
Fancy!
-
I drink girly drinks, but I don’t sink to cruisers.
-
-
Drinking is fun.
-
*clink*
THE STEAK WAS SO AWESOME GUYS.
-
According to Tech it was the best steak ever :O
And then you all saw Avengers :O
🙁
-
We had to make up for our crushing sense of disappointment when we found out f4ction wasn’t coming. 🙁
-
-
It was totally awesome.
-
And the glove was rescued from the depths of village cinemas \o/
-
Did you guys have dessert?
No?
I can probably help out – I seem to have excess jelly here.
-
The steak it was so good nom nom nom.
There is also chocolate meat tomorrow whooo!
At work. Feel like death. Had 2 cans of Mother already. It’s not helping. I wonder if anyone will notice if I curl up under the counter?
-
Ugh. Tell me about it. I got about an hours worth of sleep last night.
-
Which store you at i’ll come annoy you so you regret said decision of work today 😀
Today’s newspaper headline. A woman was caught drink driving and blew .425. Police surprised she was still alive let alone driving.
-
Eugh she is probably one of those high society women that drink all day and build up a tolerance to it…
Out of habit I keep refreshing TAY only to see nothing new posted 😛
So everyone, what’s your plans for the weekend?
-
I’m going up to the sunshine coast tomorrow. Going to take my roller blades and go skating along the beach. 😀
-
Friend is coming over. I just put on my new blueberry scent nail polish and it smells so good.
-
Scented nail polish?? What will they think of next…
-
Yeah, it smells awesome. It also has glitter and is a lovely light purple colour.
-
My sister used to put nail polish on her nails so she wouldn’t chew them. I don’t think scented nail polish would work for that 😛
-
-
-
-
Mothers Day! Going for lunch with my Mum and Grandma tomorrow.
Other than that, assignments, all day. Also probably Minecraft. 😛
-
Other than that, Minecraft, all day. Also probably assignments.
Fixed. 😛
-
Don’t say that! It will come true… again! D:
-
-
-
Today I need to go hunt for a mother’s day present. That’ll probably end with me buying a whole bunch of other stuff…
And then tomorrow I have an essay to work on. BUT TODAY IS MY DAY OFF SO WHOOO
@Strange
we need to have a Last Story discussion 🙂
-
Oh, sorry! I got sidetracked with Shadow of the Colossus but it shouldn’t take too long to finish and then I can concentrate on The Last Story. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know when I play it again. 🙂
-
No need to apologise 🙂
I’ve said it a million times but I haven’t played it for ages. Hopefully a nice discussion of it will give me motivation to go ahead and finish it, gives me a chance to test out my gold nunchuck as well 😀
-
Lesson learnt when around electric fences WATCH where your arms are at all times.
I BOUGHT SO MANY THINGS TODAY.
INCLUDING PERHAPS THE WORLD’S COMFIEST COUCH.
-
Sweet, now we can ruin it during the meat 🙂
-
You break it you bought it!
-
Avengers tonight!
Late to the party!
-
I’m probably not going to see it until it comes out on dvd.
I’ve still yet to watch Thor too.-
Still haven’t seen Avengers
Iron Man 2
Captain America
Thor😛
I guess I don’t care about the others but I’ll wait for Avengers to come out on BluRay or something
-
-
SEEN IT TWICE YEAAHHH. I can see it more clearly when it’s 2D
AH MAH I <3 VALVE! They gave me a copy of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Beta, first impressions it's nice, looks refreshed, the old map updates are nice, the new weapons are pretty neat, the taser is hilarious, though it's one shot and the person you hit is dead, maybe it should immobilise them instead of kill them…
So how many TAYbies have CS:GO? If enough want to have a match next week sometime?
-
How do you score a copy?
-
Err Valve put out a survey website, I filled it in a month or so back and they rewarded my efforts. Shall see if I can find it!
-
-
cheers mate!
-
-
-
CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME A NECK/SHOULDER RUB, PLEASE? THANKS.
-
*gives neck/shoulder rub*
-
That did nothing. You’re useless, Sir Greenius.
-
Lemme have a go.
*rubs neck/shoulders with a rubber chicken wrapped in a banana peel coated in peanut butter* -
Okay.jpg
-
Naw, I was just playing.
-
-
-
-
Boy you’re demanding, aren’t you? 😛
-
It’s what women do.
-
She’s female, of course she is =P
-
-
No.
-
I wish I thought of this first…
better than doing your bestest and being called useless
:'(
-
Okay this is just a big maybe but I’ll be in Sydney on July 14th. Sydney TAYbies available to say hi yes/yes?
-
Sydney is cool and all if you want to hang with a bunch of poindexters attempting to enjoy themselves.
Brisbane is where the real fun and cool people are.
-
YEAH!
-
-
I’ll be there too! Thanks Nova!
-
Best TAYbie, he should constantly win kudos for his driving efforts!
-
-
Given the options you offered, I’ll say yes.
Woo! Slipped over in the shower.
So
Much
Pain
Pretty sure I’ve dislocated a toe and done something to my knee and shoulder.
Still going to the Avengers.
-
You old man, who do you think you are doing that, Steve Tyler?
I mean, are you okay?
-
Kinda sorta not really. Can’t really move my left arm, my knee is starting to swell and the pain radiating out of my toe is intense. Regretting doing that.
-
Jesus man. Should probably visit a medical professional about this..
-
-
-
Ouch man :(, you alright?
I’m guessing while it’s incredibly painful, you’re still good enough to still go see the Avengers 😛
The Double Fine Adventure documentary is pretty awesome :). I’ve always been a fan of behind the scenes clips for things that show you the development process and how it all comes together. I’m watching episode 2 now and Tim whipped out an old notebook from when he was brain storming about Grim Fandango. *spoilers for the video* He had pages upon pages of possible names for the game when all of a sudden… there’s a giant ‘GRIM FANDANGO” written on one page with “I’m a fucking genius” underneath it. Yes Tim, you are.
Grim Fandango <3
So, I know I should really, really, really update my blog but I just can’t be bothered doing anything
Had had two spare CS:GO keys and offered them up on Twitter. 8 randoms added me and tried to get them…should have seen that coming…
Hopefully I get some more soon for the people that I like and that asked for one 😛
-
Holy crap, you poor man. Good luck getting them for people who you like \o/
-
Yeah, made that mistake once. Now I just advertise here heh
-
I’m certainly interested, but there are probably many more players who would make better use of it.
In reality it’s highly likely to sit there untouched in my tower of ambition (which is just a euphemism for my pile of shame).
-
Haha, yeah. That will happen =P
-
Urge to troll rising.
-
http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2012/02/survey/
Anyone interested to try and get one from Valve, take their survey there and I guess you should eventually get one!
-
Can I get spares through here or will it be locked to my Steam account (like DOTA2)?
I have no interest in the game but if filling out the survey means I can get a code to give away then I’m happy to give it to someone who wants it 😀
-
I got one extra beta key when I got mine today, so yeah more than likely you will. But you also get one copy of it tied to your Steam acc.
-
-
Thanks Virus_
-
I got three and was told to share them 😛
-
I give myself way too much to do and not enough time to do it in
-
Delegate to other people! It’s the best strategy! I delegate all my tasks to Frank, my imaginary friend. He’s a dick, but he gets the job done.
-
I would ask Mum to help me, but then I don’t want to add the extra stress because I am a perfectionist and I want it done a certain way
-
Max Brenners isnt too busy tonight. The line is only just out the door. Compared to the usual halfway down the promenade means we won’t have to wait as long \o/. (still ages)
-
Max Brenners is soooooo last decade.
-
Still better then the krogan poop that Lindt claim is chocolate.
-
LINDT IS AWESOME.
-
-
Got a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick today. Played an instant action match of Mech 4 Mercs. Joystick is so much nicer than mouse and keyboard. Sure, the mouse offers greater precision aiming, but the joystick feels nicer, and the stick twist mapped to torso twist is so much nicer than using keyboard bindings.
In conclusion, we should have a Mech 4 playdate before MWO releases. After all, Mech 4 Mercs is free to download, and is only ~1.5Gb.
-
I’d love to use a joystick for a keyboard and a mouse for aiming.
Midnight snack time… hmm meat pies! *runs around the room waving arms in the air*
cheesus pooface testing (this is an honest test, for srs)
-
chesus?
-
Well shit, this is awkward.
-
-
hawkward
-
TEST! 😛
Greatings one and all and WELCOME to…
THE FIRST KOTAKU AU COMMUNITY PODCAST or POTAKU!
In this weeks episode we discuss things and stuff and junk.
Starring:
Shiggy Ninty
Doc What?With special guest starts
DAN!
The Last Question
My ISP had a net outtage for most of the night so my fresh Xbox Live points ONLY JUST got used an hour ago when it came back on and yes I have unlocked Trials Evolution! (It’s not that I’ve exhausted all the stuff to do in HD by any means – but I want those tasty community tracks!)
-
Trials Evolution! 😀
I think everyone should see my hedge maze I made in Minecraft 😛
Because it’s awesome.
TAYBAR TONIGHT WAS CRASHED BY B-FUNK
BE VERY AFRAID
-
Pretty sure it’s over now.
Only an unresponsive SMITH OF CAKES remains. I even said goodbye!
-
Apparently Cakesmith is still on there…I think he passed out 😀
-
I may have unintentionally fallen asleep.
-
-
-
BY THE WAY
not like, internet crashed (as in broken)
but like, as in, i crashed the party
then everyone left
sad face
🙁-
🙂 hehe
-
I really need a proper mic to join in on the shenanigans :/
-
-
I wonder how much of the publishers constantly insisting that mobile games are level with consoles and about to take over is due to the rather high profit to effort margin.
So this article seems really interesting: http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/05/a-red-dead-redemption-ghost-story-to-chill-your-bones/
I suggest next weekend we hop in multiplayer and give it a look-see ourselves. We can be like one of those really bad ‘most haunted’ style TV shows. I shotgun being the crazy psychic who gets terrified of the place and votes to leave, only to be picked off first because I tempted fate by experimenting with the supernatural.
-
This sounds like a fucking awesome idea. We need to make this happen.
-
But scary ghosts and ghoulies :O
-
I’m up for it. That sounds fascinating.

If anyone is interested someone at Game Anyone has uploaded the first eight chapters of Max Payne 3. http://www.gameanyone.com/X360/Max_Payne_3.html (choose the first entry with no microphone to avoid commentary)
I’ve watched the first five chapters and I’m actually following the story and enjoying myself. The transitions from cutscene to gameplay are done really well as are the transitions between chapters. (the transition from chapter 5 to chapter 6 is awesome)
I’m currently at the start of chapter 6 and I think I might watch most of it. The guy playing makes some questionable decisions during some gameplay sequences but overall his/her playthrough if OK to watch.
I’m not buying Max Payne any time soon (I have a huge backlog) so I don’t mind the spoilers. Also this means I might finally be able to engage in some week 1 conversations about a game, I rarely get to do that. Who knows I might do this for some future games, some games are surprisingly fun to watch.

Oops I meant ‘is OK to watch’. Sorry about that.

Thanks dude, that’s awesome. I will be checking this one out, definitely 😀
Hey hey hey guys, guess what I did? Hint, I’m at the beach and I have my rollerblades with me…

Close. I fell over, scraping my knees, elbow and hip on some rough, pebbley concrete 🙁
Nothing stitches worthy though, which is a relief.

I swear you’re like the stereotypical anime girl who can’t run five paces without slipping and falling over. So clumsy.

Mine has been getting all sorts of infractions lately. I’ve been threatened with it being banned so many times but it never seems to happen. I wonder what would happen if I tried to log in and play these days
