You have obviously never had a Barra burger from the Wyndham Town Hotel! Truly glorious, a lovely bit of crispy battered fish, creamy tartare sauce, nom nom nom.
Also today I learnt that bubble tea is a thing. Still don't really get it. Seems like...cordial? Milkshake? Tea with shit in it really.

You take that back. Tortillas for life yo
Pretty sure it does. Being a game played on a board.....
I'm not sure if cyanide was part of thing, but I don't know, I'm not a chemist.
I found this on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Taiwan_food_scandal
That was the big thing. I guess it's been resolved now, but still, I'm kinda wary about it thanks to the media explosion back then.

This one looks OK. Seems to reinforce what you are doing except it pushes investing in march of the machines until mid game (there seems to be somewhat of a consensus on this).
This video isn't too bad from what I've seen (checked out 10 minutes of it). It doesn't just focus on skills that aren't limited to tinker: mid lane, setting up ganks, ability usage, runes, etc.

I used to eat deep fried cassava as a kid. It's just one of those things. Called it yuca. It'll kill ya, but you'll die of a heart attack from the oil rather than cyanide from the cassava.
Also, cassava biscuits are delicious.

Yeah, but the media tended to single out bubble tea because it's apparently still a thing. I totally thought bubble tea popularity died out years ago.
We established that heathens such as yourself are not invited, and the glorious superior race gamers (pro monopoly) will have plane tickets bought for them out of your pocket.
Excellent! thank you
edit: you didnt link to a video lol

Yeah my bad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nyhNKrMtcE Of importance, and something I didn't know at all, and haven't seen in game, is the sheep stick abuse that rearm allows. Once you have Boots of Travel and Soul Ring you aim for a Scythe of Vyse (Sheepstick) then when you are roaming you can sheep stick the enemy, laser -> missile, rearm, sheepstick again, laser -> missile. Repeat until they are dead then port out.
And while you guys play boring, old Monopoly, we shall be enjoying:
I'm particularly hyped for Discworld...
Thats actually been my end game strat for the last few games! I got yelled at last night for TP'ing into a deep lane because I Wanted to try it.. I had just changed my hot keys tho so i got confused, I need to play a few games with bots get to late game and then just practice my hot keys in fast succession
edit: It wont be boring old Monopoly.
When my son eats a whole punnet of blueberries and his shit comes out a funky navy blue colour, it still stinks.

I'm addicted to Dark Souls and I don't know why. A big part of me hates the game. Is it supposed to feel this way...
would explain my dota 2 addiction as well ahahah

I have a similar experience with The World Ends With You. When the game is bad, it's f*cking terrible. When it's good, though, it's so damn good.
Also, after about a month of it being in the slot of my 3DS and grinding incessantly for money/pins/clothes (I tend to power level in RPGs), I find out about the level slider and how dialing your level way down it makes garden variety noise almost guaranteed to drop pins. I was at once ecstatic about the phat loot I would get and pissed at all the time I wasted doing it the old way.

I think Cryptik had a spare one, someone in AusGAF is bound to have one.
Which is just as good WITHOUT a bun around it!
Why not? It has all the hallmarks of a board game and the experience of playing a board game. Also you play it when you are board and it is a game so ipso facto gameo.
Pell is a monetary god.
Where are you moving too? I think I could probably move up the chain too if I moved but the little guy really likes it here :/
Is it just a micro hdmi cable? Should be easy enough to go to your local PC place or even better would be to order it off eBay.
This has to be the best GIF on the Internet. The dog's expression is priceless.

Agreed.
This is my second favourite and always gets a belly laugh out of me until I scroll past it.
This is true.

Be careful, you might not be allowed to like it around here.

Why is it bad? I don't get it
Because the winner is decided in the first 10 mins and the rest of the time is spent grinding out that result.
Also, roll and move.
Double also, no legitimate decisions to make.

you're more than welcome to attend melbgaf! not like these heathens

Looks like it will be from Perth to Geraldton. Bit daunting tbh, but at least it offers more certainty as for the past 3 years I have spent about 12 months away from home for work. :s
Main problem is I just hate moving itself though. Moved twice interstate in 3 years, and one extra time only 4 months ago across Perth when our old rental lease wasn't renewed. I hate cardboard boxes like markot hates fish.
I don't care what rules you are playing, my assertions are still correct. Monopoly is a very poor board game.
What have we here....
Oh, ok. Because ...
... this assertion is blatantly false. I've won monopoly solely from 4 railroads and also solely from mayfair + parklane, despite not having any of the green, red or yellow sets which others did have.
I know what you're getting at, but if you insist on being pedantic you need to have a bulletproof argument.

I've never played a serious board game other than Monopoly. I'm probably missing out on some great stuff.
How often do you see a game of monopoly where someone turns around on a player with a big lead? Just doesn't happen. If you want a roll and move game, play backgammon. There are tons of economic games out there if that is more your thing with actual decision making if you like that aspect.
@rez - you are. And a lot of them can be played multiple times in the time it takes to finish a game of monopoly.
Most people who play the other games are going to be too ties up in rules to let you muck around and dick about. Which as everyone knows the rules to monopoly, you can.
Therefor more fun.
Also serious Q. Where in melb is good to live. I want fitzroy but there's just no where up for rent in my price range. Richmond seems to be full of twats.

I have a few friends in Richmond and they hate it there. Outer suburbs is where they are aiming for, no real targeted suburb though lol.
Monopoly is the best board game. It is the entry point to all those board games you want to post up as the correct board games. Without Monopoly to enthral players they would never branch out into the games you are currently playing unless dragged into them.
