I don't agree that's an actual spoiler. Saying that something will happen to some character you love or hate, without describing the event, isn't a spoiler imo.

Saying that something bad will happen to that certain character is definitely a spoiler though.

(And the guy specifically asked for no book spoilers. You'd have to be a huge dickhead to hint at anything after he asked not to be spoiled.)

A spoiler is anything that divulges information on something that has been marked as 'do not tell'. The poster clearly said DONT ANYONE REPLY TO MY POST WITH THE INTENT OF DIVULGING INFORMATION ON WHAT I SAID. So it's def a spoiler. And he was replying to a negative connotation with the implication that something negative would happen. That's totally describing!

Target has twilight princess and super Mario galaxy for $45 each. What's a better deal elsewhere? I was under the impression Nintendo stuff doesn't go down in price so much.

Don't really want it now as such, just buying for collection

Wow that's odd. Target cleared out Twilight Princess for $25-30 about a year ago.

eBay is usually cheapest for Nintendo stuff. Just gotta play the waiting game on there sadly.

PSA: Pass along to wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/mums/dads/siblings/etc.

There needs to be a stand at some point. This shit cannot continue.
That made me want to vomit, makes me sick to my stomach :(

Freemium games work off the same model as spammers do, literally. Even if you have one person pay a few dollars for IAP, that covers the cost of the other few hundred or so that don't... just like spammers. I'd love to see Apple crack down on clones on the iOS store and remove CCS, but it won't happen.

I haven't even seen/read anything to do with Game of Thrones lol
Not really my bag! I'm sure at some point I'll have a week of nothing and marathon it though.

I need a freaking beer :/

Finally worked out something for Valentines day, such a hassle trying to pawn off a child under the age of 3 for a few hours >_<

Maybe we should start a campaign to convince interests abroad that if we had better internet we'd pirate their TV less. As my internet's gotten better over the years I've slowly cut down from literally downloading everything I watch in-case I need it later (Youtube, blip, everything.

Has anyone successfully been able to make a purchase off Greenmangaming using a US proxy? EA games aren't available in the Australian store. I get to the purchase screen but my Paypal and debit card aren't accepted.

Went to Rockpool, since nobody told me there was a casino right in front of the restaurant this lunch ended up costing 400$. Hooray for me?! Oh well, thanks for the memories and beer Melbourne, now off to Sydney...
 
Went to Rockpool
I had a pretty awesome wagyu steak there a couple of years back. Probably the best steak I've ever had, but really quite different to other types of beef too.

Try The Local Taphouse in Darlinghurst (haven't been, but there's one in Melbourne, in Windsor that's pretty good if you're into beer). Alternatively, the Belgian Beer Cafe in inner Sydney is good.

Walk across Sydney Harbour Bridge if you can. It's quite fun. Not too taxing.

Go try Rockpool Bar & Grill in Syd, I like it better than Rockpool for some reason. Or go next door to Spice Temple if you don't want steak again.

Genius ep 10 spoilers:
Junghyun is a deathmatch monster! I've liked him since beginning when no one thought he was a threat and never paid any attention to him. It's good to see him make it so far.

Yohwan was as useless as ever. He really has no sense when it comes to main matches. Whenever he tries to ally with someone there's always miscommunication or something and they end up betraying each other. Then he has to resort to begging. Last week he had the chameleon (equivalent) card and wasted it, although I guess it was difficult with the S1 alliance anyway. If he makes it to the finals he might have a good chance of winning since 1v1 is his strength, but I think I'd be disappointed if he does because he really has done nothing the whole season apart from that one deathmatch.

Next episode should be good! Although if the guests have a heavy impact on the winner/loser I'm not sure how I'd feel about that. Ratings must be down.
 
Did anyone watch Knights of Badassdom yet?

Stupid stupid movie. Fun, but so stupid. Would have failed miserably at the theatres, guess the producers knew it all along.

Geoffrey?

Phone auto correct.

Wait, $400? Is that a typo for $40? How many steaks did you actually eat?

My first thought was it seemed like blatant pandering to the audience, making up for the hurt feelings over Doohee. In saying that I'm still going to enjoy the hell out of it!

Agreed on Yohwan being a letdown in main matches all season. He's probably had some bad luck, some miscommunication he wasn't responsible for and whatever else but he's definitely to blame for most of his failings. Nice to see Sangmin (possibly) would have used the token for him in earlier episodes as well if necessary.

I'd liked to see Yohwan vs Sangmin in the final and if there's any chance of teamwork in the next episode, I think they'll aim for that too.

Maybe that's not a lot of money to him or he's hiding his anger

I suspect he's planning some reverse wolf creek shenanigans.

Yohwan is an idiot and hasn't done much of anything all season. Every alliance that has failed has been because of him, without fail. If anything that would be his only strength, stuffing up and bungling his way to the finals. Laser chess was a one-off and has a whiff of bullshit to it as it came out for the first and only time for him, and it just so happens to be in his wheelhouse.

Junghyun has been great in the deathmatches, but I'm only counting the last two. Picture match was unfair from the beginning and he was instructed on what to do by Sangmin anyway. His fortitude outside of those has been outstanding.

The deathmatch this time around was entertaining, but I thought the main match was lacklustre. I don't know if I missed something or if it was just completely uninteresting.

I don't think the guests are so unusual, they're just using them a little differently and later in the season this time around.

For those that have stopped watching The Genius, you may want to tune in next episode.
Jinho and Doohee make a return.

I invite Aon to have a listen to the old AusGAF podcasts and kick himself everytime he hears himself make a pun. I don't think he'll be seen on Steam chat ever again if he does.

Also someone spoiled Game of Thrones at the end of page 1 and in page 2 in that thread, so don't read it if you care about the show lol.

Ugh. I can't abide by spoilers, even people just saying little snippets that aren't "actually spoilers" but still ruin it. I mean, no he doesn't explicitly state what it says, but it's pretty clear what he's implying. I gave up talking to book people after (book spoiler)
I mentioned something about Ygritte and the red viper being cool characters and the people I was talking to responded with sad faces or "that's a shame.." type comments.
People can't help themselves, so I'm reading the books and not saying a word to anyone about it till I'm done.

I don't know if it's because of the members that are remaining, but I haven't found a main match interesting since Jinho left. While last week was good because of the S1 members, I found the actual match uninteresting because they all just banded together and the only strategy required was figuring out how to make everyone win, which didn't even end up working.

This week may have been slightly more interesting if Yohwan didn't fuck things up and then just beg to be saved, but I think the game was just boring. No one seemed to have any strategies apart from the Super Junior member who made a deal with all the other members to get a cut of the winnings. That was the most interesting part of it.

I don't think the guests are unusual either, it's just that Doohee and Jinho would likely work together and whoever they back would probably have a good chance of winning. So I would think they'd help Yohwan and go against Sangmin. Maybe the game will be constructed in a way to avoid this, but we'll see. I suppose S1 had this aspect to it as well when the previous members joined in a later episode for a Death Match and pretty much decided the outcome.

Sorry guys you had the chance to not be spoiled on Game of Thrones ten years ago when it came out. Do we have to spoiler warn for Star Wars now too?

30 year old cultural phenomenon versus some pretty average books that just happened to get a popular series on TV that is still underway. Hmmm....

Maybe. Depends on if you think it has entered the public consciousness enough. I would argue that Game of Thrones isn't as pervaded as that, despite what people think.
