That joke was the absolute pit, man.

PS: I had a scary thought. The mango will probably be found a couple of kilometres away, with a single bite taken out of it. And right next to it will be world's largest fruitbat. 30 meters tall and fucking pissed off that there's no other giant mangos to eat.

Hey guys, I want a Wii U (WHY? I don't know ) but I want to pay not much for it, any news in the future of a potential price drop here in Aus? Any good deals on?

I'm home so I can update this now!

Basic WiiU pack with Nintendoland & Just Dance (and possibly a Wiimote+ but that's not included in the Target description but is in the image so press them for it!) for $288 at Target & Big W.
Big W also have the premium WiiU pack (slightly bigger HDD and is BLACK!) with New Super Mario Bros U & Luigi U for $368

bet it was an inside job to boost media attention.

Bingo bango.

Fine times making GIFs.

police prime suspect is someone by the name of james who has a history with giant fruit theft

 

[raphanum]

I can add you on Steam and 3DS but I tend to not to be playing the same games as other people at any given time :\

What are you thinking of specifically?

Any game. How about some Toukiden once I purchase it this week?

Come on man... that's not even a moderately enticing deal. It's basically full price, and will surely be available cheaper in the relatively near future (see: the past, when Wii U's were available for under $200)

Gaz, wait.
That price is barely $80 less than I paid at launch for the Premium with Nintendoland and NSMBU.

If there's no Wii U price "realignment" in the next few months, I'll eat my cat. I know what I typed and it is a typo but i've said it now.

 

[reptilescorpio]

I always joke with my cat that I'll turn him into dim sims. It's funny because he doesn't understand it's an outdated derogatory racial statement. I laugh for him and he seems pleased at least.
Dim sims are awesome. My current lazy food.

Also yeah, it's not a great deal. Still not sure if my $200 WiiU has been a good buy yet. I'm not into platformers damnit >_<

Turns out that Nando's stole the mango as a marketing stunt. That's a bit disappointing.

Any game. How about some Toukiden once I purchase it this week?

I have no idea what that is

 

[Gazunta]

Shocked - SHOCKED - that the mango thing was a marketing stunt.

And thanks guys, cooler heads (yours) have prevailed.

Man the more I think about it, the more that the Surface Pro being a portable Steam+emulator machine is reducing my desire to buy anything else. Crazy.

 

[markot]

now imagine that the surface was a good product worthy of the pruchase price!

Did you buy a Vita yet?

Help out poor old Minter man!

 

[Shaneus]

Wait, so the mango thing was actually stolen, it wasn't just a stunt by the town? How... meh.

 

[Gazunta]

I know that the Surface Pro has a very, very, very small niche market (basically: people who need a tablet you can run real art applications on) but, being dead center in that market, I absolutely ADORE it. There's no way I could recommend it to everyone, though.

TxK, like the dozen or so Xbox 360 games that went on sale this week, like the last half dozen Humble Bundles, like that pile of 3DS games I got for Christmas, and like the pile of games I got through PS+, are waiting patiently to be played when I finish this fucking book

Whys it so hard to find a laptop that can run all games, is 13 inches, lasts 10+ hours for under 1000?!

Its like im living in the 50's!

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Still not sure if my $200 WiiU has been a good buy yet.

At the end of the day it will have been worth that price just to play Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2.

Bless you.

Mangocal Mystery Tour

Man my parents are convinced I have ADHD just because I match a number of the symptoms on the page: http://www.psychology.org.au/community/adhd/

*sigh* such a misunderstanding of how mental illness works.

if the signs say yes you probably do then
im sure your parents are much smarter and wiser than you are

Unfortunately they are scientifically illiterate - going on to say that evolution, vaccination, germ theory of disease is a load of bullshit for reasons I don't understand.. well I do understand the reason. They aren't unintelligent people though. But I'm pretty sure with confidence I know more about this stuff than they do.;p

Also to be even worthy of a diagnosis I think I'd need more than my parents testimony.. the fact I can be inattentive and like the interrupt people mid-conversation isn't causing distress to myself or people around me such as co-workers, friends and acquaintances .. there's a level of abnormality that has to be taken in context, and I'm simply not at that level.

And I actually know and work with people who have ADHD.. and it's definitely hard to even consider going through with a diagnosis based on my own personal experience and contrasting it with my own behaviour.

Deny deny deny. Then wait until you hit 31, are finally diagnosed and realise all those years you could've put your mind towards something but couldn't because this thing you could never quite put your finger on, kept holding you back.

I would've given my left nut to have my parents think I had ADHD rather than just being a slacker in high school who couldn't apply himself

Don't know about your situation - but I have no problem putting my mind towards watching a bunch of films, studying for exams, scoring HDs on assignments, achieving personal goals etc. And despite still having a lot of games to finish, I'm very good at being a completionist for the stuff I actually do play. have a friend who has ADD and actually has a very CONSISTENT pattern of being unable to finish anything she plays, wonder if that's connected.

If I struggled to do any of that stuff at levels beyond my own personal control, I'd definitely consider getting a diagnosis.

You might not have ADHD but this is bloody annoying and you should stop. You have no idea if you're annoying people, they might just be being polite.

To be fair I only do it when it gets into discussions with friends that really "excite" me and friends bring it up as a point of humour or just tell me to "calm down". Never done it to my co-workers.. I think I phrased that wrong. My inattentiveness is the worst part since I can let my mind wander sometimes.

Still, if you can't control it, it's a telltale sign and if you know you have ADHD, you can control it better regardless of medication or other kinds of treatment. I didn't realise it was a classic symptom one until my doc (who also had late-diagnosis ADHD at ~50) told me. There are stacks of other signs as well that you'll have no idea are relevant until you talk to someone about it (who knows their shit).

Honestly, going to talk to a doctor/psych isn't going to hurt. It's like having a bump on your forehead checked out... it might not be anything serious, but you're going to feel pretty fucking stupid in a few years if it turns out it was cancer.
