AusGAF 6 - Ricki Lee is awful. Everything else about Australia is AMAZING [Free hugs]

Hey whoever runs the AusGAF twitter account, you could clean up the automated post tweets by getting rid of the #AusGAF hashtag at the start and dropping the 'says' from the start (i.e. "#AusGAF Planet_JASE says:" becomes "Planet_Jase:").
I can do all that if others don't use the hashtag. I can remove the goo.gl links at the end of individual posts if no one uses them either. I'll leave them on the bulk updates (e.g. when there's 5+ posts in a 15 minute period).

Also my name isn't linked to my Twitter (lorcanw).
I'll do that now.

You could also clean it up do it isn't posting the GAF name AND the twitter name if they're the same.
Not a bad idea. Just stick an @ in front of the username if the linked Twitter account is the same. That'll take a little longer, not that it's particularly hard so I'll check it out tonight.

So it was a bust?

I was hoping to grab some points online but from what I understand reading WP, online discounts are virtually non-existant.

Not a big deal
 
From DSE's FB:

Due to the popularity of the Gaming Sale, we understand some customers have been left disappointed this morning.

Today’s sale was a clearance sale which means stock was strictly limited and availability varied between stores and online. This was clearly outlined on our page when the sale was announced last week.

We received an overwhelming response this morning. As a result many stores sold out within the first hour of the sale and our website received an unprecedented volume of traffic.

Contrary to some reports, Dick Smith will continue to sell Gaming.


Some customers? LMAO..
 
A smarter business would have offered anyone who signed up a 5% off voucher or something as a token of goodwill.

And then resold that information.
 
Where?! Itunes?!
Places with a lot fewer scruples than iTunes.

Can anyone tell me what I will gain if I register the Online Pass in Mass Effect 3? Is it even worth the effort?

Since we're over 1/4 of the way through, some predictions...

Big effin joke. Staff had reserved EVERYTHING worthwhile. They did not even bother putting up the sale stickers on marked down items. Highpoint had maybe 200 people crammed in, no one got a single piece of hardware. Many fanatics were grabbing $5 bargain bin games, but there was nothing good in there. Checked out Altona gate store as well, less rush but not a single item on shelf...asked the staff and she gave me a sly smile and I got the hint.
Thats such a pile of shit. My mum was at altona and had everything I wanted but they said none of it was discounted so I got nothing and now your telling mr it was like 1 hour later

Woah that Medal of Honor game i got from Dickies today for $5 is a steal. It has 2 games, and the multiplayer is really fun. Downside is the spawn system sucks arse on the smaller maps.

The gf got me God of War HD collection 2 for me for 5 bucks. I'm pretty happy with that. They were still marking stuff down when she got there so she was following the girl around with the pricegun. Also, there was 1 other guy there grabbing stuff :p

She wants to go back though and and try and grab the sonic games when they get marked down

I'm jelly. I mostly wanted GoW Collection 2 aswell, and the 100dollar 250gig Xbox Slim.
 
So based on the stories and how shit all of the stores handled everything im boycoting dse and never buying anything from them ever again. Not that I did anyway. They qere always way overpriced and had shitty selections

but ever so delicious
Anything with some form of media on it is destroying chrome today. I guess the 18 stable on osx isn't very good for some reason.

Will install opera as an alternative now at work. It's been so long since I've used it!

I wonder how bad the killing will be this season, That also started today.

I've only seen 3 episodes of The Killing so far and it seems alright. Must get real bad towards the end for everyone to hate it so much.

Also today is a good TV day. Mad Men and Game of Thrones on the same day.
