I went a couple of years back, and found it was mostly stores selling nerdy junk, a bunch of 'celebrities' I wasn't familiar with (but usually knew the shows they were from once told) and a bunch of other stuff I didn't feel strongly enough about to really be interested.
Still had a great time, though!
I can relate - even though I'm a huge Anime fan I find some Anime cons can be a bit much for me. I remember one of the first ones I went to, I went to a screening of Haruhi Suzumiya (this was back when it was brand new) out of curiosity, and some hardcore Otaku behind me started complaining that it wasn't in 'Broadcast order' or something.
I had to leave the room before anyone could notice my muffled laughter.

Downloaded it last night.
Went to play it today and it dies almost instantly. The fix is to delete the 'assets' folder which contains 99% of the data.
So yeah, not playing it tonight obviously.
Fucking PC gaming >_<
I have the worst luck with it.
EDIT: Also it's only like 7GB with another 4GB of DLC. You need to clear like 23GB of space initially though since they made the size more efficient in a later patch than launch.

Ooh I want to see that!
Holy shit. That's bonkers.
Want to see that too. Your cross sounds so weird haha. But yeah it definitely sounds weird. Michael Fassbender in a giant bobble head in a band. Still haven't seen Inside Llewyn Davis either :/
I honestly don't mind. AusGAF has been great to me in many ways and this is the least I could do as a thank you that is open to all. If it's getting use, that makes me happy and I will gladly continue to maintain it.
It is still getting used then? I was able to see traffic graphs for it but I'm seeing blank areas where I was certain there was activity. That's the only reason I asked, because I couldn't tell.
I do pop on there every now and then, but nowhere near as much as I used to.

Does anyone know how I can claim "stars" for my Wii U console on Club Nintendk Auatralia? I can't for the life of me find the card with the PIN on it anywhere in the box.
I bought Mario Kart, by the way. I'm not normally a fan of racing games, but I saw the free game deal and thought, why not? So I got a free physical copy of Mario Kart with my digital copy of Wind Waker.
What's this I hear about the system having trouble with USB powered drives? Also, is there some way, using homebrew powered chicanery, to transfer my US-region Wii data into my Australian Wii U?

There should be a small red and white card with the PIN in the box, which also gives you some basic directions. If it's not there, then complain to the store you got it from, since the only way you can claim that free game is to register MK8 properly on Club Nintendo.
The USB ports don't provide a lot of power. If you're using an external HDD that has its own power plug, you're fine, but you'll need a Y-cable for one without its own power source.
There's no way that you can transfer US to Australia that I'm aware of.

I was asking about the console itself. I registered Mario Kart with no problems.
Thanks for the rest of the info. I might have to hit up Dick Smiths for a Y cable.

Whoops, totally misread that.
IIRC, you'll get Stars credit for it once you link your NNID on the console to your Club Nintendo account. Might take 24-48 hours to appear.
Marsh got a server for him and his MMO friends, as well as for Dota, so we've (the Dota players) just been switching between the two whenever there seems to be an issue with a server. I think for the most part we've primarily been on Marsh's, so it's not going to be a problem if you don't renew it. Thanks for the offer and keeping it up for so long though.

Watched a little bit after the football this morning. 1) Why the heck is it in England? I don't recall ever seeing it there before, and 2) What is the deal with the people crowding the road so much the cyclists have to dismount and walk through the crowds? Shameful display there, IMO.

If it's dead, upgrade to an Xbone pad. When you plug it into your PC via microUSB it switches from wireless to wired mode automatically.
Didn't see number 2, god damn. Will watch tonight after the f1s, managed to fall asleep lastnight with 30km to go... woke up today to sbs replaying the last 25km, enjoyable! but that ending
hope everyone's ok.For anyone that's traveled in Europe if I take a plane from Berlin to Rome will I need to arrive 3 hours early and do through customs and everything? I need to take a train from Hamburg to Berlin then fly to Rome. It's only a 2 hour flight but it is between countries so I don't know...

hey it's markot
where have you been you dirty sod
bob's burgers is good
I just finished Season One of Broad City. It got more consistent towards the end.
3 hours seems excessive darklord, even between countries.
But I'm basing that on nothing but my own opinion so don't listen to me

Looks like reading all those dusty law tomes has caught up with me so I need to get my first ever pair of glasses. Does anyone here know a good retail store to go get them from? (I hear that getting them online is far cheaper but I have nfi about size and style) Any help would be very much appreciated!
Spec savers. They don't have a huge range, but they are cheap as hell and often have good deals on two pairs or other specials. Also, pay attention to the frame sizes, they will be marked on the inside of the arms of the glasses. Frames that are too small will not only look silly, they will probably hurt your head after a couple days.
After you have a cheap pair you can start looking at the 600 dollar frames like me

Excellent. Thanks. I have no idea what I'm doing with glasses so chances are I'll be putting them on upside down for a few days.

Spec Savers are also awesome about giving you an eye test and buying your glasses online, from my experience. Been using them through 3 different towns now and they have luckily all had really nice staff
We will probably end up buying the boys glasses from them since they have been so nice, will be a more cathartic experience for him to buy them in a shop than wait for them in the post lol
Car or no car?
Eat at Cabramatta.
Hire a house boat on the Hawkesbury (when it's warmer maybe).
Your normal Blue Mountains trip would be via the Great Western Highway, but don't neglect to do it at least once via Bells Line of Road. It's a very nice drive, and you can stop and pick some fruit at Bilpin if that's your thing.
If Kangaroo Valley is within reach, also check out Stanwell Tops, Mount Keira, Kiama (blowhole), Gerringong and Gerroa.
Jervis Bay is awesome if you can go even further. Point Perpendicular, Hyams Beach, Green Patch, so on.

Shop around. While Specsavers can get you some stuff very cheaply, if you've got private health insurance then you're going to be able to find a no-gap deal that your insurance will fully cover anyway, regardless of where you go (except maybe OPSM, they tend to be on the pricy side). If you're with Bupa for your health insurance, definitely give the Bupa Optical a shot, since you'll get an additional discount off the frame in addition to your health fund coverage.
I would suggest you do consider Specsavers for your eye test though. The optometrist is likely to be younger there, and will be more up to date with recent developments. Specsavers also tend to be better equipped, doing things like retinal photography for free as part of the service.
Hah.

sorry, couldn't resist. But you should watch the vids that Shaneus linked to.

Hah!
via someone on FB. Can't take all the credit! I'm just waiting to get a notice to take down the uploaded video of the Mr. Whippy Grand Prix on my channel (which has been up for several years now). Surprised with how much they've uploaded, though. Very impressive.
*champagne. You're already spelling like an American
Edit: Holy shit, they have the full versions of both Olden Days and Bargearse. Wow.

I've been to Hanging Rock but not for a concert. I don't really get the point of that place. There's a winery nearby that's pretty good and staff is very friendly.
Hah, just google it.

I would seriously pay $10 right now to go up 10 levels in Payday 2. I seriously would do it. It would save me what, 5 hours? I just want some decent weapons/armor to make the heists more fun! I like fun!
