I was taught how to use Tim Tams as a straw tonight.

I feel like I've been living a false life until now.

 

[HolyCheck]

cant stand tim tams.

rich chococlatey shit

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

i can literally only eat one before i feel sick

 

[N0VAM0D]

cant stand tim tams.

rich chococlatey shit

Yup, they're far too sickly for my tastes.

 

[hamchan]

I can eat 20 before I get sick.

 

[Yagharek]

Sick?

 

[reptilescorpio]

Damn, wish I held off on buying Ground Zeros and only playing it for an hour now :/

 

[Stackboy]

(mana bar is a shoe box)

Mana Bar closed down, just last week.

Guys I'm in the market for a good PVR.

Recommendations folks?

Netflix.

Spoiler

I'm a jerk

I was taught how to use Tim Tams as a straw tonight.

I feel like I've been living a false life until now.

I really don't like combining Tim Tams with liquid. I like hot milo, coffee and maybe sometimes tea, but I like my Tim Tams separate.

How come I can't just stay home and play The Witcher 3 all day? Why do I have to go to work?

 

[Gazunta]

Games like Witcher 3 are what sick days are made for

Spoiler

If I was into that kind of game, which I'm not, but you guys knock your socks off

Oh we have Netflix. I just need something that'll record local FTA stuff and Simpsons.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Well if you'll all support my revolutionary coup, I promise to dissolve Foxtel and force all sports and Game of Thrones onto Netflix.

More like sick month, I am 68 hours in with no end in sight and it's still as engaging as ever.

 

[Yagharek]

You should play it more.

 

[Shaneus]

You bought a demo.

PS. Done with GTAV on PS4 yet? Ta.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Right there with ya.

 

[Roulette]

Damn, wish I held off on buying Ground Zeros and only playing it for an hour now :/

I did the same, but at least it only cost me $5. Finished it once, run and gun the whole time. Killed so many guys. B rank. I don't think I have the patience for stealth anymore.

 

[Lucian Cat]

buy me

Already preordered all 3 colours

Sorry, I should have warned you. Basically as soon as I buy a game on PSN it gets added to PS+. So far, I've bought the following (only to have them added to PS+ shortly thereafter):

• Trine 2
• Infamous: First Light
• Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty
• Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes

In fact, there are only two PSN games I've bought which haven't been subsequently added to PS+: Octodad, and Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition. Expect those on PS+ in the very near future.

 

[roosters93]

Tim Tam hate is even worse than Vegemite hate. You should all eat Tim tams spread with Vegemite as punishment

 

[Arksy]

What happened to the mana bar??

 

[ClivePwned]

What happened to the mana bar??

neigbours complained about the bleeping which only stopped after pots were smashed.

Geometry Wars 3 is apparently hitting iOS this week. $5US (so $6.49 here?) and uses "Metal", so it gets 60fps on at least 5S+.

 

[reptilescorpio]

I know! What's there is fantastic, easy to grasp what they were aiming for with it. Really great way to get people into the series.

PS. Done with GTAV on PS4 yet? Ta.

Fuck. Yes. Months ago lol. Sorry! PM your address through again.

Octodad can't be far off! I bought a second hand copy of TRDE months ago cheap so that wouldn't sting too much at least.

Is it on Vita yet?

Mana Bar closed down, just last week.

that's a shame, I had some good times there. The space just wasn't big enough I think... If there were couches etc and it was a bit more comfortable I would have gone there more often.

 

[wonzo]

The only game with more bang-for-buck than MGS:GZ at retail price is Crimzon Clover on sale for $1.99 on STEAM!

 

[endlessflood]

I reckon Another World (20th Anniversary Edition) and Need For Speed Rivals will be popping up in the near future. The former because it's been on sale so many times (including for $4 at the moment), and the latter because the base game is going so cheap these days and they have a lot of DLC they can push.

So, I find myself in Melbourne. I'm going to a "student services" conference tomorrow, but I'm the only person from my workplace in attendance and the program reads like a big bowl of nothing so... Let's get stinko! Holiday on the mans dime.

I found a place Bartronica a couple of hours ago. Arcade games and craft beer, exactly what I need. I had a chat to the owner and they've only been around for a few months but it's much better than what Brisbane has to offer (mana bar is a shoe box). Good pinball (Twilight Zone!), free SF2 and MK2, plenty of space. If you're in Melbourne check it out!

As a beer lover and player of video games, I didn't like the Mana Bar. I frequently played board games with one of the original owners, and he was happy to wash his hands of the place when he got out of the deal. The bar had its core crew of regulars that enjoyed it for what it was, which is great, but it was never particularly busy towards the end.

A bar with heaps of retro arcade cabinets and pinball tables sounds much more fun. Bars are about drinking and talking bullshit, and extra entertainment like pool, darts, video games or whatever are merely just accessories to that experience, not the focus.

 

[Shaneus]

I second the Bernie's comments on barcades and such. Thankfully Bartronica doesn't play music super loud (unless that's changed) and there's plenty of room to stand (or sit) around and chat, as well as play shitloads of games.

 

[Cerity]

Put a waterblock on my 290x, not going past 50 degrees with all my fans on low is so nice.

 

[Bernbaum]

The Portal table for PBFX2 can be had for $1.50 for owners of either Portal game.

Let's all play pinball then spit the dummy when people that actually know what they're doing show up then wreck all our shit.

I'm right here, you know.

 

[Omikron]

Picked it up. Shall drop a crappy score later.

Yeah, I was pretty impressed! Heaps of space to chill out, and mortal kombat 2 and street fighter 2 were set to free play so could def be fun with a few mates and many beers

 

[Dead Man]

I'm right here, you know.

I bet you think this song is about you.

 

[dishwasherlove]

If you haven't done the MGS:GZ side mission where you shoot people for a helicopter as it flies around I feed bad for you.

 

[Roulette]

Hold my beer.

Another World has already been on PS+ I think? Pretty sure I didn't buy it lol.
Rivals is an easy one, shocked it hasn't gone up yet, including for the reason you state!

 

[endlessflood]

Another World has already been on PS+ I think?

Nope, at least I'm pretty sure it hasn't. I've had PS+ on the PS4 since the beginning and I certainly don't have it.

 

[Yagharek]

You bought a demo.

PS. Done with GTAV on PS4 yet? Ta.

For a demo it somehow has more story and content than halo 3 by comparison.

 

[Bernbaum]

Hold my beer.

No.

Somehow?

 

[ClivePwned]

I'm not going to lie, I have enjoyed all the main MGS games up until Ground Zeroes which I played through once and was glad to be done with it. If GZ is remotely indicative of Phantom Pain, I'm out.

 

[Jintor]

Yeah. Something about GZ just doesn't feel... like a Metal Gear game anymore.

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

they axed mx. ;_;

 

[Quasar]

i can literally only eat one before i feel sick

If I eat one, I have to eat the whole packet. So adore tim tams.

 

[Roulette]

It is done.

 

[Kritz]

It is done.

This

 

[Yagharek]

Somehow?

Well its a low bar to be fair.

 

[Shaneus]

In Melbourne? Good riddance. Every time I tried to give that shitrag a go, I literally felt more stupid after having read it. I kid you not.

 

[Jintor]

mx was dumb, but it was dumb in this weirdly comforting way.

i always liked its page of crap blatently stolen from the internet. and it had by far the best, by which i mean dumbest, write-in sections ever
