I'm heaps keen for Animal Crossing 3DS. Played the original and DS versions a lot but skipped out on the Wii one so it's been five odd years since I really played one and am ready for another fix.
It's not my choice
But I'm pretty happy to be pooled into the asian countries. I probably wouldn't be able to survive in say London or NY.I had the job lined up but didn't start till early this year.
Ehhh I don't know. If it's still the same ol thing, I might pass.
But damn, buying shoes though!

Hong Kong would be pretty sweet too. I don't know much about Shanghai, except all the Chinese people I know complain about it. "They talk weird" "Those people suck, just like people in Shanghai" etc.
How are people this stupid. No seriously, how can people possibly be this fucking dumb. Indonesia is notoriously anti-drugs. If you are dumb enough take drugs over there, you deserve to get caught. HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING. How many drug smugglers have to get caught before someone thinks "gee, is this money really worth the risk of being taken out and shot in the woods without notice?". If you want to get high, do it in a country that won't kill you.

Yep, but that's total with both characters. So a success ratio of 1:50 all up. Its a great level though.
Then you'll have to join that UK GAF thread.

Chimay Blue would go down a treat on a night like this. I have my 2010 vintage in the cupboard, waiting til next year when I'm going to crack it open.
Most who would risk it are probably pretty desperate to even consider it by that point.
Also, Lucky is the best AC character.

An opportunity has presented itself!
I may be relocating to one of three locations, listed from most likely to very least likely:

The nursing home is always looking for staff. Surely that is better. Even if you don't get caught, I imagine swallowing 1 kg of drugs or putting it into places it shouldn't go isn't incredibly pleasant. You'd think after the bali nine people would think twice, especially after they were basically sent as a warning.
Yeah hk is alright since I've lived there before. Shanghai...I don't know, I don't like China in general. Also, non-Shanghai people tend to hate on Shanghai-nese because Shanghai-nese look down on other chinese since they believe they are more upper class or something lol.
Ehh, places like London and the US are super duper competitive (I think) in my field, I'll probably get eaten by all the massive ego dudes. But it would be good experience regardless as rezbit said.Salazar said:
Also, I won't be a minority in an asian country so that's a plus!
Here's something I thought I'd share in case anyone who may be interested isn't aware. If you want to see maybe some new games of the tabletop variety, Wil Wheaton has teamed up with Felicia Day to bring you:
Tabletop
The fact that Day[9]/Sean Plott is one of the players in the first episode may be a draw-card for some who might not ordinarily be interested in something like this. I've always liked his personality and find him very funny.
I'm glad there's something out there like this to show people how fun this hobby can be. It's a great way to show people what's great about it without them having to sit down at a table and play to understand; they can easily see for themselves how fun it really is.
I believe there are some RPGs to be featured in later episodes too, which I'm really looking forward to seeing. Presenting them in a way that is compelling with time constraints must be difficult and it'll be interesting to see how they do it.

I don't envy you at all. Luckily I get on at the first busstop on my bus route, so I always end up with a seat during peak hour on the way home.
What a waste of life... for everyone involved in the drug trade.

Agreed, but reason doesn't gel with addicts. There probably should be travel bans on known addicts to countries with death penalties, for their own good.

I saw his Catan one a day or two ago on Reddit. In theory I like the idea, however, I'd actually prefer watching an entire game unfold rather than the cliffnotes you get.
For example, the Penny Arcade dnd podcasts span about five hours per game. I'd love for that to be the same here. Even if they can't shoot that much video, a podcast of the entire game or heck even some live streams would be so much more engaging than just telling the viewers that a game you can't play because nobody you know plays tabletops is cool.

I feel like I am the only person on GAF who doesn't enjoy Wil Wheaton or Felicia Day.
I'm not even sure how to explain it.
Also chicken schnitzels taste divine on a winters day.

By no means, Rep.
So are you saying you'd like to see SydGAF livestream their games?
I heard in an interview with Wil that Tabletop will feature the game 'Fiasco', and I am confident these will be fun episodes to watch. Fiasco is fantastic and will show some ridiculous and hilarious RP. I listened to an actual play of it where Greg Stolze played the captain on a ship as Zapp Brannigan and it was hysterical. I'm trying to get my group to give this a go when our D&D campaign is finished.
Nope, I know exactly what you mean. I find Wil Wheaton quite smug and a bit of a knob in most of the things he's in. I also wish he'd shut up about dying in the PA D&D game, he did something stupid and got mad because the rest of the party didn't meta-game to save him. If they did that, he'd be mad because they meta-gamed. It also happened years ago. I did listen to an interview with him and he came across as a genuinely nice guy that I could see myself getting along with; so it seems if you put a camera or microphone in front of him around people, the jackass switch activates.
Felicia Day isn't my cup of tea either. I think she pushes the "hey, I like games and I'm a girl, can you believe it?!" thing a bit far. I get the impression she thinks she's a hero for it. I congratulate her for being successful and I won't deny she has cool ideas, I just find her irritating.
I appreciate what they do, and they're good at it. Their visible personalities just rub me the wrong way.
Oh, video game related celeb? Points deduction!

The episode she did with day 9 was pretty cool. She also made a mini series about Dragon Age, but I haven't seen it. She's okay, I guess. I don't dislike her, but I'm not a fan of hers either.
Hm... It seems hard to monitor, especially if smugglers aren't addicts (or known addicts). It would be better than doing nothing, I suppose.
just look at that smug face.
Wasn't he in Brisbane over the weekend for supanova?
Agreed that Seal completely destroys her in cred
but surely she should be able to take on Joel and Keith a lot more
especially in Australia.
even Guy sebastians bro didnt choose her rofl, and guy is like her best friend
edit: i predict once the blind auditions are over, it will tank
this is the only interesting point, after which it becomes idol

5 minutes in, Day[9] is outshining her by far. He's just far more interesting and entertaining, it's really hard not to like the guy.

Day9 shines in whatever he does. I mean, I'm a big fan of his show and I don't even own starcraft. Says a lot about his charm.
Tiffany is adorable. I think you have gradually converted me, as Taeyeon was my favourite member. Congratulations.
She is no Tiffany.

don't have to!
Just watching Ep1 of that series now Danoss, cheers for the link
Happy to oblige.
I haven't watched it for a while, but I used to watch his show often too and I don't like StarCraft at all. He's incredibly charming and witty. I won't ever forget his 'trumpets' video, that had me in stitches.
How about the constant fucking bombardment of such-and-such Korean girl animated gifs? Amirite?
Yep. $80 to get your photo with him. If I could charge that much I'd have a smug grin on my face all the time. as it is it's 9:30 the night after and I'm still pumping out commission sketches people bought on Sunday. Grrr
All the celebrities there and the only time the wife got star struck was when Danielle from Masterchef just happened to walk by. Ha.
lol nah.
sorry, I've wanted to post that gif for a while now but never got a chance to, until now!

Oh man, that was his finest hour. I still cry when I watch it. I really liked watching the fail games as well.
No way that kid is 15. No way. He's so tiny... and polite and innocent!
Opera Mini. Doesn't play animated gifs 8)
