Yay, it looks like I don't have to be a lurker anymore! Just had my account approved after much waiting and figured the first post I would make would be with my fellow countrymen and women.

Just to introduce myself, I would classify myself as a gamer with the massive pile of shame, hoping to one day conquer all (or at least most... or half... I'll aim for half). I guess the biggest problem is that so many games these days are multiplayer co-op, and most of my mates aren't big time gamers.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to discussing all things games with the peeps in this space!

Cheers!

Just as a heads up we rarely talk about games. Also welcome.

I'd love to drop into AusGAF more often but it's all AFL and politics. Things I know nothing about and pay no attention to.

There are dedicated threads for those things now, you should see less of them these days. Since we also don't talk about games, it means the thread becomes very quiet sometimes.

They have their own separate threads so it's safe here now!

Tho I actually kinda miss having politics stuff in here:/

Same. Leaves both threads as rather less than the single thread was.

I had the worst printer repair today. Because it's so poorly designed I had to take just about everything off the printer just to get to the rollers that pick up paper, including the scanner on the top.

I will never be able to really escape game dev, ever, ever, ever.

Stay tuned

Mega why would a Contra style game need AI? Wouldn't it have just been easier to assign paths for enemies to blindly follow? That's how they did it 'back in the day' and for a student project that would have been fine surely?

OH HEY GUYS, I MADE A NEW COMIC. It's about Krusty's Fun House on the NES / SNES / MegaDrive / PC / pretty much everything else:

Album is fantastic. Kinda disappointed I missed out on the physical

Nah I dropped him a tenner like I did with I Am The Night.

No excuse for anyone to pass on it though, being free!

Yeah I didn't keep up with the release schedule and missed out on the cool boxed sets :(

Literally no reason not to be listening to the new Perturbator album. It's free for fucks sake! Give Future Club a listen at the very least.

Free? That's the best kind of free. The vinyl looks fucking badarse too, but I didn't get in on it early enough :(

I would've missed out on the CD if it weren't for your tweet, so thanks for that (and thanks to me actually checking my twitter in a timely manner for once). I didn't see a link to the downloadable files when I bought it, but I'll grab the flac files now that I can.

It's either I give them no money at all, or a discounted price, so what's better?

Got good poisoning from ... somewhere in Sydney.

Fuck you, Sydney.

Vomit streak almost at four years. The last place to give me such bad food poisoning was a street meat vendor in Beijing. :(

I had a bad run of the voms last year from illness, but that's already too much of an overshare.

Welcome! There is no shame in a pile of shame. Just means you have plenty to play!

Holy shit, you should do more Simpsons related comics, looks awesome!

Also, I got your book last week =D
Click to expand...

I'd definitely be up to doing more. Up on the site is a poll to choose which game I do next, and "Bart's Nightmare" is up there if you'd like to see more Simpsons comics :)
Like I need justification to watch more Simpsons for reference

And I'm glad you got the book! Hope you like it! Thanks for your support :)

Why wouldn't you buy one?
Nintendoland, Lego City Undercover, Wonderful 101, Wind Waker HD, NSMB U + Luigi, Super Mario 3D World, DKCR:TF, Mario Kart 8, Zombie U, with Smash Bros, Bayonetta, Captain Toad, the system has way more really good-to-excellent exclusives than PS4 and XBox One combined.

More Gaffers need to play Lego City Loading Undercover.

If it wasn't $70 all the fucking time it would indeed be played by more people!

Also I don't like platformers. So that knocks out most of the Ninty games. Or Bayonetta. Or most of the regularly rotated Ninty titles like Smash/Kart/Party/Land.

I do like the idea of playing WW HD soon! Got it downloaded, just need to find the time.

The starter packs are already $30-40 brand new in stores. The exclusive figure used to go for $50+ but has been around $30 since that last big bundle.

Are you in a PAL region? If not, go local. I hate missing out on US deals because I bought mu AU wii U with me to the States.

WW HD was great.
also $53. For me, its the best game on the system after Mario 3D world and WWHD.

Yeah if you don't have a Wii U might as well get one for that price and grab MK8 from Big W for $58

<$240 gets you the console and a couple good games

No idea why but I bought an xbone controller from that dick smith deal. Not sure how I feel about it yet but so far I'm noticing its unnecessarily clicky. My right bumper especially. I thought it was something about this new controller but I checked my 360 one and the bumpers are clicky as hell too. I was planning to finally finish MK9's story mode but the drivers don't seem to work on it for some reason

Not free on WP8 store :(. On another note loved your Jetpack talk at QUT a few months back Rlan, but you shouldn't swear in front of little kids :p
