Rooftop in the city is a cool place. I remember when Robocop was cancelled there due to rain. Saddest night of my life.

I'm having a vision in my head of the ultimate gaming news site which is actually modular in the style of Tweetdeck or something, being able to add 'feeds' based on authors, categories, picking up keywords, etc. It sounds crazy. Wait, am I just describing an RSS reader? I think I'm just describing an RSS reader. Goddamnit.

Even so, a gaming aggregation site which lets you pick and choose could be convenient. Kind of like a super meta-Eurogamer (with their current site).
Kind of like e3feed.com
You are so correct.
OH SHIT YES WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF THAT
Yeah, but if you have RSS like functionality on a website it would be awesome, most people don't use RSS anyway.
The main problem is that it would rely heavily on originators of content being honest, and nobody wants to tag their link-posting as "Link-posting". Maybe some kind of user-moderated tagging system?
Goes for a month, buddy.

Yeah while I wasn't affected I do work for the parent company of aapt. Good times!
Just saw this on Whirlpool
Not only were they doing hazardous power works during business hours, all of their backup contingencies failed as well...

DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS TONIGHT
7.30PM or there abouts. We're using Mumble. We're using WotC's offical virtual table tool. If you still need to buy gear you can. Once the campaign has started you won't have a chance to buy gear.
DM: Kritx (it's a me)
Players:
Clipper
Banana
Don
Rahk
Holycheck
Marshmellow
Jintor
Or something like that. I kinda only designed it for four players so I'll just scale everything up on the fly. Most of you guys are super crazy strong anyway so I can probably make it a bit more challenging than usual.
Again, I'm not a rules person. We're still playing dungeons and dragons, but if something seems cool or fun I'll prefer that to happen over looking up rulebook descriptions.

Eat cake.
won't take long to setup, don't panic. Can do it right before we start.

I'm sure I wasn't old enough to have seen that ad (born in 1980), but I sure as shit know that theme song from somewhere.
Only four years older than me.

OMI. I have more demands. The Organsteamgamerizer should be setup like the Google+ circles. Keep the theme of the current Steam UI so have the list of games in a scroll box on the left and have a shitload of circles on the right which are your different caterorgories. Then games that are in several circles can have a link between them or something. You then drag and drop from the scroll box onto the circles. So easy.
You have until Friday. I wish to spend my weekend organising.
Also borrow a friends car or get a bike or do SOMETHING so you don't have to shell out on the car before you have plenty of time to think it through.

So sorry you have to go to Mildura, was the closest place for me to get games/cd's/civilisation. Still 150km away from where I grew up!

It was more due to having met him, I wouldn't have thought there be a year or two more difference between he and I!

1986 for me. Best year ever. One of the greatest years for music ever. Peace Sells?, Master of Puppets, Licensed to Ill, Somewhere in Time, the list goes on.
I was born in 81, and I knew that song in 1985/6.

I was going to get in on this real pic white mug thing, and then I remembered how I don't like photos of myself.
So then I thought I would do something related to my current avatar.
Protip: Don't Google "Sasha Grey drinking" whilst at your place of employment.

Already heard of cases like this with the DOB. Don't like your luck.
Ugh. So what would it take to get an account deleted then? Hypothetically, of course.

Discard email accounts, credit cards and gamertags associated with the EA account. That would be my plan anyway.
Haha! I can already see the word that Google will automatically fill in after "drinking".
Yeah, I can edit my email address and other stuff, so I might just make a dummy email and kill it that way if my next reply is unhelpful. I have no CC details attached, no postal details - just email. But the email is of course associated with XBL.
If not, wise choice.
It's slightly irritating to think that companies can collect information, change it, then tell you off for not providing the same details you did though. And to top it off, they provide an insecure system to boot.
I might have to give their Australian branch a call.
edit: the funny bit is, they had no qualms cancelling one account associated with my primary email, which I accidentally created the other day when trying to logon and confirm which email I used for my PSN details. And not once was I required to provide a DOB for them to have reference to.

Either way, I enjoyed it. It was pretty funny.
I enjoyed typing it, but I find it almost impossible to be rude when I want something done.

Hey, I just heard about the MP who said the stuff about smelly migrants on the bus. Have I missed the Choc rage post yet? Has he somehow pinned this on Tony Abbott yet?
Funnily enough, as a first-gen immigrant myself, I have to say that the policy, on paper, is actually sensible and would be helpful for immigrants. I know that back in 1990, it would have cleared up some confusion on the part of my family with regard to things like how to serve scallops, Australia, ANZAC and Remembrance day, a rough guide to Aussie humour, generally accepted (and unaccepted) attitudes vis a vis swearing, drinking, gambling, smoking, relationships, the role of women in society, acceptance of gay people and so forth. For my family, it would have allayed the culture shock when they came across these things in real life, as my Mum is so conservative she votes Family First because she thinks the people who vote Liberal are too morally permissive.
But no, she decided to go with the deodorant talking point. Nice.
