I'm tempted to get that red PS4. It'll look nice next to my RE5 360.

i recall a place I worked at got a second-hand commercial cappuccino machine. People used to take 10 minutes each to make a coffee and stand around yacking for about 40 minutes while they waited for their turn to use the machine, no one never cleaned it, etc. When it broke, it mysteriously disappeared and was replaced with a zip tap thing- those boiling water tap things. People went back to drinking whatever instant they brought with them or the office supplied and it only took 30-60 seconds to make their drink but still they'd stand around yacking for about 40 minutes while they waited for their turn to use the tap.
Scope out gumtree for expensive coffee machines purchased by people who have no desire to learn how to use them. We bought a 3 month old $1200 coffee machine for $300. The guy said he just couldn't be bothered to make proper coffee in the morning.
The best part was he was this tiny dude. I'm 6"2. You know those action movies where the hero is about to fight and this giant walks into the battle, the hero looks them up and down. He actually did that! Told us to wait outside while he grabbed the machine for us to look at. Made my day! I have a decent beard and I kind of look scary, but I am harmless. Me and my wife laughed the whole way home, he was so scared of me!

Home cooked Ramen
Looks pretty good!

Not quite sure how it happened. We had a Rancilio Silvia at once stage, which people paid $1 a coffee to pay it off. Then they bought a fully automated one, which made terrible coffee, then our other office got one of these expensive ones so we treated the other machine like shit until they bought the nicer one. Which was a waste of money.
Higher education!
Oh yeah, I looove making ramen. Never been brave enough to make my own tonkotsu, but I do make the miso soup.The best thing about winter:

To the surprise of no one. Oh well, let's just all use Getflix's VPN service.
How long until we see CBD fan fiction?

Been thinking of starting up a YouTube channel with gameplay videos with me impersonating an exaggerated sterotype of a bogan talking over it. Reckon it could be funny? I can do a pretty good wog accent too so could mix it up a bit

Go see it in Melbourne after work.
Where? And she works in Geelong now. And I'm pretty sure nowhere in Melbourne does $12.50 movies :/

You're a Telstra user right? Just use Thanks movies to buy Village tickets for $11. I've doing that for over 2 years. So much money saved.

The cinema in Melbourne Central was $16.50 on Tuesday too.
But it's not in a special cinema anymore. That was kinda the point :/ Village doesn't have it in VMax (which sounds like a tampon) and Reading is now showing JP in whatever special cinema it has. Figured if MM was worth seeing in cinemas, it was worth seeing with 500.9 surround sound and a fucking massive screen.

It cost me $10.70 to see Age of Ultron on Tuesday. I'm not sure if booking the tickets online had anything to do with it.

If you don't want Shaneus to come just set the price above $12.50.
Same here. I'm very tempted and before seeing it I was hardly contemplating purchasing a PS4. I always thought if I was to buy a next gen console it would be a Xbox One.
Joe Hockey would say "if you can't afford it it's time to get a better job"
Also what's with the monkey avatars

Right now I don't really want to buy anything because I'm travelling, but I've had my mind set on building a new PC for years now. Once I settle down somewhere and make it my intention to spend at least 2 years living there, then I'll build that PC.
Despite occasionally getting the "ooh new tech!" feeling, I've no real interest in the "vision" that Sony and Microsoft have presented us with in the PS4/XB1. Ever since they were first announced I've seen them as under-powered stopgaps that exist solely for both companies to maximise their ROI. But whatever the case: I'll probably end up considering a PS4 once they release a slim model, but I have zero interest in an XB1.

You can have a meetup in June if you want.
I'll be in town come November. Meeting an old friend who moved to the mainland, watching the new Bond movie when it comes out. While I'm up there there will be some kind of GAF meetup.

Terrible news, very sad to hear about his passing. What an incredible life he had.
Hello VPNs
I have alot of games on my wish list, just waiting for the right price.
Super sad, he was a legend. He was metal until the day he died.
Dodgyyyy. When exactly does the sale start?
Started overnight.

I'm usually pretty harsh on clunky, but I thought they totally nailed this. It's EXACTLY like a theme park like this would turn out to be- Disneyland rather than the low rent safari park ride of the first film.
The kids having matches and able to fix a car was kind of silly, but the kids stopped serving any story point for the second half so we could concentrate on Chris Pratt, having turned into Ben Grimm and Bryce Dallas Howard who becomes totally
worthy by the end.
Despite the danger, I'd totally go to Jurassic World for a holiday.
