They've opened up a Koko Black in Rundle Mall, my wallet and my waistline weep.

I prefer Haighs personally. I tried that Koko Black sludge that's supposedly hot chocolate. Tasted like cooking chocolate left for a month in summer in the centre console of a taxi.

The only thing I ever get from Koko Black is the classic Belgian truffles.

Hiaghs for everything else!

Frequently check that your tie is done up properly or you will look funny in photos and your wife will laugh at you for the rest of your life. She will laugh at you for the rest of your life anyway, so this might seem fruitless. I lack the perspective of someone whose tie was done up properly during the wedding to give you a full picture.

I am a big man and am guaranteed for my tie to be askew on the day, but thanks for the advice.

Also guys I'm getting married in 3 months, advice? And I also got terrified this morning about now owning a house yet. LIFE HUH. It's just a stupid house. I just wanna play video games.
Don't get drunk, swear at your MiL and get into a fight with your FiL about it. Also, tell your bride to make sure none of her bridesmaids have any kind of simmering resentment of each other so they don't start having a ruck in the reception venue carpark.

Yes, my first wedding was a really classy, not at all like a Mike Leigh film at all.

Wait until you've got kids. Mortgages and wedding days are a doddle in comparison.

E2A - That Elite clip - THE FEELS! THE NOSTALGIA! The sinking feeling I'm going to have to gut and rebuild my PC for it to run like that.

The bridesmaids are my fiance's sisters and are all besties so it should be fine. I get along really well with her entire family, they are all as bonkers as mine, it should be a fun day!

Got a couple of years before I need to worry about kids (hopefully).

Fuck I hate Brisbane, or to be more accurate, I hate living on the wrong side of the planet for anything I want to do.

Where is it better in the world for you to live? We have the internet, makes the world smaller. If you really want to move you totally can. What's stopping you HUH?
 
Bad Boys and The Rock were great action movies. Really great.

Bad Boys 2 is an insane art house movie that's entertaining to return to every now and then.

Transformers movies are dreck. Camera work and editing is worse than Asylum or amateur porn. Transformers Rescue Boys is a more enjoyable and entertaining experience than those movies.
 
Brand new office.

Oh great.
 
C'mon guys, you really think Michael Bay can make a good Transformers movie? It should be three times bitten at this stage.

Not just Transformers, any movie. Next up on his list is TMNT :(

Anything good about it, at all?

I thought when the dinobots arrive there would be some saving grace, but nope. Not a one.

I'm seeing it Friday night. If I see robots fighting each other and optimus prime riding grimlok with a giant sword, then I am a happy man. Plus we are getting burritos and beer afterwards too, so that's a great date night.

You will, but have to endure 90 minutes of lens flare, explosions and car chases before that.

Also guys I'm getting married in 3 months, advice? And I also got terrified this morning about now owning a house yet. LIFE HUH. It's just a stupid house. I just wanna play video games.

Congratulations.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me four times.......uh?

Peer pressure and the thrill of watching a movie with friends at midnight in the city, nothing else. Pretty sure I'll end up watching the obvious sequel in the coming years.

It's not so much WHERE else I want to be (though I genuinely would love to live in Seattle, or San Francisco, or Melbourne, for starters) but it's WHEN. I always feel like I'm in the wrong time zone for everything that's going on. :?

Mrs Squirrel has just alerted me to the fact that Target have the Skylanders Wii U bundle tomorrow for $10 more ($189), if you can't find stock at Kmart.

Just saying.

Managed to call a 24/7 Kmart and get a guy to put one aside for me. Pretty happy with that. will pick up at midnight.


Edit. Dishwasher you love looking at my phone bulge

Already picked up two skylander bundles at big w today. 198. Don't know how they sold it to me. Asked for MK8 at 58, but they said not til tomorrow. So I went to eb and they price matched it. Fuckers gave me an open case without a Club nintendo card. Usually I wouldn't care, but I want my free game. Called them and they said they'll have more MK8s coming in tomorrow, which means they'll take it from a new case and fuck someone else over. EB has such disgusting practices
 
Super tempted to pick up a Wii U tomorrow, but honestly I'm having trouble finding stuff I'm really interested in. Maybe Super Mario World and ... I dunno ...

Is there a Koko Black in Sydney? I'm more of a Max Brenner fan - dat chocolate ice cream sundae.

No such luck with me - "First come, first serve." Guess I'm up at dawn tomorrow.

New Super Mario U, Zombi U, Mario Kart 8, Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3 if you're in to that sort of thing, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Lego City Undercover, Wind Waker HD.

I guess, eh, I guess, eh, eh, oh yeah that looks OK, eh, already finished it (and still own it!).

Probably better for me to wait until the new Zelda and hopefully Metroid games are out.

Yeah, if there isn't anything you want to play on it, then you probably should hold off.
Or you end up like me with my PS4. :p

I'm really enjoying Wind Waker HD. I probably mentioned it before but it's worth re-iterating! Of course, I never played WW, so idk.

Kind of makes me want to replay Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks actually

Well as expected my attempt to grab Mario Galaxy 2 on the cheap through ebay ended with me getting sniped in the last minute. Really was not willing to pay 40$ for it (which is where the snipee pushed it to).

That pretty much sums up every time I've every tried to bid on anything on ebay.
