I've been a lurker for the better part of 5 years, figured I should start participating here a bit more often!

How many Sydney siders are there here? Are there regular drinking catchups and events, cause if there are, I'm keen.


As an introduction, I'm the guy who owns AustralianGamer.com, the two Mana Bar videogame Cocktail bars, and I do marketing for MCV Pacific.


Cheers!

Welcome to all the newbies. Some people say "the list" is a bit stale, I say that we NEED TO KNOW YOUR POSITION ON CRACKDOWN.

Actually! I propose that the final question on "the list" should be to ask the new AusGAFfer to add their own question.

Yug, when are you going to open Mana Bar Gold Coast so I can have a local place to go again :p

The sad news out of Sega Oz today has made me think a lot about my time in the Valley game Dev scene...

I really miss working in the Valley. I'm not complaining about the new job, but working in basically an industrial complex means I can't quickly pop out of the office to do some banking, or check the mailbox, or grab a hot chocolate.

OK maybe I'm really just thinking about hot chocolate.

At some point MelbGAF was gonna head over to the ManaBar for the second official "meet Kritz" event. But we didn't.

That's the end of that story.

EDIT: Fuck y'all bitches. ManaBar Tasmania's where it's at.

aha ha

I envy you young man. Watching the latest Archer episodes fresh and new. Like a precocious scamp waiting for the final snowflake of winter heralding the bounding boys of the season in heat.

Actually

Are they Sweet Chili RRD chips? If so fuck you. I'm stuck here with half a glass of the only booze in the house and leftover caeser salad from yesterday. AND no new Archer? What depth of hell is this place.

Religion being discussed in Steam chat.. What's going on in here tonight?

I apologise for that.

SO WHO THINKS THAT ATHEISM IS WHERE IT'S AT AND AGNOSTICS CAN GO SUCK A FIG?!?!?!?!!11 Wooo!

Also, should people be allowed to fuck animals if they want? If you watch that Pony cartoon, you probably think they should!

Being able to apply internally for a job, go up against one other applicant, get the job and get told today that it's a 26% pay rise. In Tasmania, doing IT and with great opportunities to skill up. Feel pretty lucky!

For cider-AusGAF I'm drinking Matilda Bay Dirty Granny. Quite strong, nice kick to it, but not too overbearing. Yum.

I also buckled and bought those Onion and Rosemary Woolies chips. Shit's crack. Well played whoever recommended them.

I don't know if you caught my previous post, but I actually only realised today that I had short-changed myself on S2 Archer. I still had three eps of that to go, as well as the three "special" episodes (I've watched the first. Patrick Warburton!) and then I can start on S3 proper :D

And the chips, they were the fire-roasted chili and sea salt ones. Really nice. Not too hot at all but good chili flavour. Recommended. I've always been a Kettle guy, but RRD are good with there more adventurous flavours.

I recommended them :D I also recommend Monteith's Apple & Pear. I don't think it's in small bottles though, so you'll just have to live with sinking a half a litre at a time. Which I don't take issue with at all, funnily enough.
 
I'm still salty Shaneus.

Yep first one.

I'm feel like selling everything 360 related I own instead of buying a new console. I did just get a new copy of Assassin's Creed Revelations for it though and I really want to play it. :-/

JB or EB might have a trade deal for it. Check out what new releases on PS3 you might like.

A new 360 can be had for fairly cheap nowadays if you are really locked in with XBLA and your library though.

I tip my hat to your refined palate, good sir. I think I can live with that haha.

I'm on 360 #3 too :\
 
It's getting awfully crowded in here with all these new people. I think I'm going to go and sit in the corner.

Still on my first 360. From the end of 2008... I think. Around the time they switched from Jaspers to Falcons or whatever the heck they did.
 
EVERYONE should be watching Catwoman on Go right now. It's so, so, SO bad it's awesome. Like, really badly awesome.

Rewatching RedLetterMedia again. Powering through the Star Trek run. Was up until 1:30am last night with Indy 4 which I hadn't actually seen. It was also the first piece of media for the movie I had seen and the first time I acknowledged that an Indy 4 existed.

I can now go back to believing there is only 3 Indy movies. Uncharted is the second trilogy I guess.

Yeah I'll probably just pick up the PS3 version when it hits bargain price, which should be soon I reckon, then give the 360 version to a friend that wanted it after I finished with it. Lucky for him since he now gets it earlier then expected. Might pick up a 360 again when it's Halo 4 time, hopefully it's below $200 by then.

What happened? I got mine fixed by some dude in brissie for like $100. Actually it was more because it had a stuffed disc drive too.

Cheaper than a new one and its been fine ever since

1 red ring, e74 error. I think for me I won't bother to repair this one, too much hassle and there aren't any exclusives I want to play right now.
 
We need a question on the quiz that lets us gauge which generations the new guys have played through so the older guys can mock the younger ones for not having played Adventure on university mainframes, and for judging then when they wrongly prefer Mario 64 to Mario 3.
Mario World is better.

I say we bring back the kpop or jpop question that appeared once or twice.

A very important question for judging one's character!
