Support NeoGAF

[senahorse]

I got one from ebay last year. It was a display piece, but you can buy all sorts of melee weapons online as long as you get a $25 annual subscription to your states Collectors guild.

Thanks, ended up finding a store with one and came home with one of these:

Works really well, sliced through the lantana and branches up to an inch in diameter like butter.

On another note, don't worry about those Oneplus invites, I managed to snag a couple over the weekend.

 

[toastyToast]

Infamous Second Son is $27 at JB Hifi. It's great.

Nice!

I played First Light and really liked it. Got the Platinum in like 5 hours though. $27 is a great price (a few bucks more than the DLC lol)

edit: wtf its $49 now. When I hit the link it was $27

 

[Kritz]

did those CIS building lunchroom times last year count as TasGAF meetups

or that one time MTE was coincidentally in the same pub as me and some friends but didn't tell me until later that night on Steam that he was there sitting across from us

 

[reptilescorpio]

He was probably put off by all the racist remarks Kritz

Joking!

Yeah was only on unannounced sale for like 5 hours

Lunchroom?

You mean tearoom, you fucking imposter.

 

[BananaArnie]

I think Arnie picked that game because he wanted to find the biggest piece of shit game to make us suffer.

lmao, it had the biggest box so i picked it, and then there were nazis and blimps. also we needed like a 9 player boardgame or something and pickings were slim

 

[Arksy]

I know. But at least I'm going, what's Arksy's excuse?

Damn it I've got a friend's going away party. Otherwise I'd totally be up for ruining your lives further. Next time!

(Yes, late response..I know..I know....scum of the earth etc.)

Evening.

Watching Sin City. Just as terrible as I remember it, but goddamn Jessica Alba is a fine looking lady.

I watched some fan edits of the SW prequels - removing most of the lovey-dovey stuff from Clones makes it 15% better, but Sith is a mixture of proper SW fun and unbelievable shitness. The Robot Chicken sketch Dr Orb sums up the worst bit when thingy dies of heartbreak or whatever. This juxtaposed with infanticide at the Jedi temple.

Yeah. I watched it for the first time recently. The movie overall is quite eh, but the style is incredible. Frank Miller has such a great style.

Yeah, no getting away from the greatness of the aesthetic, although I find that, like Sky Captain, 300 & Beowolf there are moments when the use of flat floored green screen states does weird things to the perspective. It's something that judging from Sucker Punch & 300: Rise of an Empire, seems to have been fixed.

What's the best value option for a headset for my ps4? I am using hdmi into a computer monitor and need something better than the one ear mic included in the box.

 

[Jables Swan]

I like Sin City but I'm not interested in the sequel at all.

I bought a pair of these last week.
They're really good.

Yup Gold 2.0 is a great headset. Built in mic is decent quality too, had no issues talking to a few people from AusGAF on Destiny with it.

Some good friends of mine just made a video about their new indie game developments! Check it!

cool, a halfbrick offshoot.

they will now get every musician/sound designer in the world spamming them

Hey pinball guys. Have you listened to the How Stuff Works podcast episode on pinball? I listened to it recently and man, it is some interesting stuff.

http://www.stuffyoushouldknow.com/podcasts/how-pinball-works/

Shaneus, gazunts.

 

[ClivePwned]

also, it's taken all of 24 hours for Telstra to be pricks

 

[Quasar]

Yeah. I watched it for the first time recently. The movie overall is quite eh, but the style is incredible. Frank Miller has such a great style.

I loved it myself. Wish more US comic movies were as true. And loved how on the Bluray you could watch each story as a separate thing.

 

[dishwasherlove]

Might grab that headset off ebay for $120. Is that 15 percent off still going?

 

[Poimandres]

Aww yes, ranked 90th for Pure mode in TxK. I don't think I've ever cracked the top 100 on a leaderboard before!

 

[MoonGred]

Is there a market for 2nd hand computer parts in Australia. I've had a look at Gumtree and ebay, but there doesn't seem to be anything on them. I'll put stuff on gaf buy and sell, but was just wondering if there was any place else.

 

[Fredescu]

OCAU forums are best for that, but you won't even see the relevant forums until your account is 90 days old.

 

[MoonGred]

Aah crap.

Ah well guess I better sign up now, no point in putting it off any longer.

 

[Kritz]

Lunchroom?

You mean tearoom, you fucking imposter.

maybe if tux supplied teabags instead of coca cola I'd call it a tea room

mufucka that shit ain't got no tea in it anywhere

Pip and Ducky used to have tea there but idk if it was actually stored in the cupboards or not.

What did they do this time?

 

[Gazunta]

Aww, Checkpoint Champion looks cute as hell!

Every time you guys talk about UTAS I picture something like this:

So I googled UTAS and instead got this:

 

[quabba]

I have these too and am happy with them but I havnt used the mic for anything yet.

I was buying a pair of $50 headphones at jb and asked if they could do a better price on the headset and they gave it to me for $109

 

[ClivePwned]

What did they do this time?

their prepaid recharge thing is atrocious if you want to add credit via a voucher (as in you buy credit from the supermarket). You can only use online from the phone. but since I got the bare minimum without data (as a stopgap), and it won't let you use wifi since it can't recognise the number that way, you have to ring #100# and follow some prompts. sure, but there's nothing to say you succeeded or not.

 

[legend166]

So these police raids in Sydney today are pretty crazy. They will allege these people were planning to kidnap someone, drape them in the Islamic State flag and then behead them.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Every time you guys talk about UTAS I picture something like this:

Centenary building, where Kritz and I would do computing:

Medical Science Precinct, where I work now:

[senahorse]

That medical building is an interesting design, going for the skin and incision look.

Yep, and from my suburb too. I also work in Martin Place so I'm pretty much fucked

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

That raid in Destiny is insane. Made it to the final part last night. It's not just killing bullet sponge enemies, there are stealth and platforming parts too. Teamowrk and communication are a must, there is no chance it can be completed with randoms.

Everything else including story missions and strikes are made to grind for loot. The Raid is the game!

Thanks, ended up finding a store with one and came home with one of these:

Great, they have been posting a lot more invites recently. Hope you like the phone.

Hey rep, the Akuma hoodie from RIPT arrived today. Great quality and design, slightly big though (american sizes).

It's more of a track top than a hoodie, not too bulky but still fairly warm. Thanks for the link

 

[Rizzi]

Blergh, yeah. Amazon just hates me.
PCGameSupply wants to charge me $90 for $70 of PSN credit, which seems a little excessive. Any cheap options?

 

[MoonGred]

That reddit photo that a guy from tecs took of the gtx970 for 520 AUD really bummed me out. Ah well all will be officially revealed soon.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Was of a non-reference model (could be a few bucks more because of that) and it was from a shop that doesn't have the cheapest prices. You could be looking at more like 480 from PCCG or something for a ref, just as a random figure pulled from my anus. But yeah, we'll soon know.

Damnnnnnnnn wish I didn't get drunk and waste last night on Wikipedia now >_<

Nice! It's a zip hoodie right? That's exactly the type of hoodie I like. Warm but not thick.

Had an awesome Madman zip hoodie like 9 years ago that was similar, thin but warm fabric. So good. No idea what happened to it, might have given it to an ex but can't recall

 

[MoonGred]

I don't mind the numbers you pull haha.

Have you got your monitor yet btw?

Tried the GAF B/S/T thread?

Also what's the issue with Amazon? Don't like your Paypal account or something?

 

[ClivePwned]

Finally got to see Guardians of the Galaxy at the cinema today. Loved it.

Haha nah that's all good. I just figured this would take a lot longer seeing as I mostly lurk.

It's still 300 posts + a period of time since registering, right?

You're on 308 so you would've only just changed.
