Played 13 hours over today and yesterday. Yo, that game is pretty awesome.

Tell me about it, every freaking day the same commute on the same vline trains with the same delays.

I may or may not have purchased a copy of Dissidia Final Fantasy based on the name and the size of the GAF thread without doing any further research on it. It turns out it's a fighting game with FF characters, sort of a Super Square Bros.
Oh maaaaaaan.

Why did I think emptying a bottle of cider into a blender and blending it with ice to make a slushie was a good idea. :/
I can't even imagine what the end result would be
Holy fucking shit. Everyone should've been watching the F1 qualifying today, because it was INTENSE. Very happy with the end result
Yeh it was pretty fucking awesome.
My friends not a fan of f1s but he came along, decided to pick magnessun as his favourite driver at the start of the week. So he's pretty happy.
I'm a bit salty k-mag knocked kimi out oof the qualies

HipHit peaked so early
Damn it's been a long time since I read non-Gaz webcomics. Really need to get back into Sam & Fuzzy soon. I wonder if Dr McNinja is still practicing!

You know what happens to mentos in coke? This is worse.
Yeah, should've just crushed the ice and then poured cider into it.
Side note: Need advice from AusGAF. Going on a holiday in a week and a bit, need to work out whether I should buy a new Sony Xperia Z1 Compact from Telstra now, or wait until I get back lest something happen to whatever phone I'm carrying at the time. Current phone is a 4S.
Edit: Holy fucking shit. The outright price of it ($552) is only $30 more if one wanted to buy a new 8GB 4S directly from Apple. I should almost be able to sell my 32GB 4S and buy one without outlaying a cent, shouldn't I?
Edit #2: Looking on eBay, should be able to get four-hundo for it. Nice. Makes buying a new phone a little easier to stomach.

I'm honestly tempted to try now.
Only bad experience I've had with a blender was leaving a spoon in there...

They have these cups, at Big W I think, that turn any drink into a slushie. They're magic. My friend got one for Christmas.

So what's the happy haps with the radgaf meet? We should organise something!

God Optus are making playing Titanfall impossible.
Can't be played on Optus Cable between 2pm and 2am. Ridiculous.
Does it make every game impossible or just Titanfall? Odd.
Also the only thing that shits me about the 'drop a titan on it' meme is it doesn't shrink the original image to a comparative size to the Titan. Makes no fucking sense and loses a lot of the impact. Drop a similar sized object on something? Why?

They're trying to tell you something.

This is literally a Titanfall only/Optus only issue.
No other games have this issue, no other ISP has this issue. I've already called Telstra to come out and connect ADSL (I'd prefer Cable, but no cable in my area).
Their forums and Facebook page are getting hammered over this. Rightly so too.

How does a one game issue even work? That's so odd.

There's a suggestion that Titanfall transfers outgoing data over port 80, which Optus blocks on their consumer plans.
If that's the case, either Optus has to change their policies, or it's never going to work.
For me, during the beta, it didn't work (almost at all) expect for one hour on a Sunday morning, so if the final environment is similar to that, I don't buy it.

What's the reason for them blocking the port?
codswallop

Since day one they haven't wanted people on consumer plans running servers of any sort on their end. They block common ports, 80 is HTTP/web.

First attempt at baking a cake.
Was hoping it would have risen a bit more.
Was hoping it would have risen a bit more.
So, AusGAF:
Yay or nay? $552, actually cheaper given I should be able to get ~$350-400 for my 32GB 4S.
Actually, the question is more whether I should try and get one before my holiday or not.
Edit: That's the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. Smallest phone I can find that isn't a complete turd.

What's wrong about Aldi mobile out of curiosity? I keep hearing that its cheap and fairly decent.
Its the only small-ish Android phone that isn't complete shit, yes. The longer you wait, the cheap it will likely get. They're not like Apple products where the price is stagnant even after 2 years, they drop like a rock fairly quickly.
I would keep using the 4S unless its basically dead because if you wreck it overseas, you probably won't feel so bad. If you're not bringing any smartphone overseas, the 4S' resell value probably won't much assuming its already out of warranty and Apple doesn't release new phones.

I thought you were in charge of that now that Jambo has been found derelict of duty.
My One mini is serving me pretty well. I don't use much media on it besides music so the big fuckup of no expandable storage isn't a problem for me, other than that I love it.
Amaysim. Seriously.

Nice looking phone!
You mean fuck you Telstra right? They keep changing the deal
This fucking sucks though. Will probably move the wife onto the $30 plan. The drop in data fucking sucks.

I'm sure its a perfectly fine device but most Android mini versions are really gimped. In the case of the One Mini, the main problems are the 1GB of RAM and lack of OIS. For a simple user, its probably not a problem but the lack of OIS is a huge downer if you use your camera a lot.
The Z1 Compact is cool in that its basically the Z1 that has been shrunk and given a better screen.
