Wario64 banned? What is this madness!

Not on wp7, even though the option is there.

Someone raised this issue earlier in the official thread. I'm sure ckohler will take care of it soon enough.

This places blows my mind sometimes. Smh.

Surely that's a joke thread. Surely.

 

[Yagharek]

Wario can't be banned, surely?

That violin story has been going around for a couple of years now

Had a burger from Mos Burger today, not as mind blowing as I had been lead to believe. Will try them again in a few weeks once its died down a bit. Any burger suggestions? I had the teriyaki chicken today.

I watched the first episode of Girls the other day. Has potential, will continue watching.

It's interesting, will give it a few more episodes to make my mind up.

I don't think it's just "an unexpected context" but a context specifically about transit. We put ourselves in a certain frame of mind when we're travelling, we're focused on the goal we have in mind. The kids obviously aren't so focused, so they want to stop and see something they don't usually see. If it was somewhere where people are in a more relaxed mindset, I reckon the guy would have gotten more attention. Is the fact that we're more receptive to beauty in some moments rather than others necessarily a bad thing? I don't think so.

Agreed. When I'm catching public transport, its the last place on earth I want to be.

Though speaking of buskers there was a really good one the other day (which I gave money to), which kind of shocked me as they are usually terrible. Though he wasn't playing a $3.5 million dollar guitar so I'm sure it doesn't count.

I think it was an experiment by the Washington Post that was true in 2007 but people only gradually become aware of it. I've heard about it about three or four times now by people thinking it was recent.

Snopes says it had been performed 77 years earlier as well btw, though that's an example of similar lines of thinking rather than plagiarism

 

[shanshan310]

Salazar, I found you.

Just have 4 teams of 4.

I like this plan.

Wait what

/edit doh you're right. Well, no matter, I'll just miss dota tonight and do it tommorrow

We start tomorrow then? That good with everyone?

doesn't matter it was old (kinda thought it was. It's pretty amazing!

:O

What did I miss?

 

[Yagharek]

Really, is wario actually banned and not (lol) banned?

 

[Fredescu]

Yeah, he posted "zzzz boring thread" or something like that. Worth a ban.

Oh so just a minor one. I thought I missed the apocalypse.

Salazar, I found you.

Explain.

 

[shanshan310]

Explain.

I saw you on the bus. I think.




But you did not see me

 

[Deeku]

I'm thinking she booby trapped your seminar room!

:O wild sighting, even better!

 

[Salazar]

Around ten to six ?

Blue jumper, green trousers, no will to live evident on his face ?

Or morning bus, maybe.

My first thought on reading that post was that you were the girl called Jo I got introduced to this afternoon, and that I am the biggest idiot in the world. Glad that this is not the case.

But you were sitting sliiightly too far away.

Throw something next time.

 

[shanshan310]

haha, nope. I am a Shan.

Oh man, if only!

I would be terrified if I randomly bumped into someone from here without knowing about it in advance.

Maybe you already have!

I did see vaguely Shan-like girls towards the front of the bus, but I was only half-functioning by that stage.

Long time coming unfortunately. He got way too much of a free pass and people before him have being banned for far far less.

That's not an insult.

Even if this were true - and it is not - she is fabulous enough to be in the group on merit.

 

[Omikron]

I'd share a beer with Choc and let him rant about conspiracies.

 

[Yagharek]

Choc doesn't post conspiracy theories. Or if he does, only minor ones. We've both posted on a forum with batshit insane conspiracy theorists, so I know a real nut when I see one.

 

[Salazar]

Email is horrible.

It produces its own artificial and ghastly rhythm of social interaction and expectation.

Spoiler

People you want to write don't write or stop writing. And I don't write, because why ?

And today I find that doofus Clive James got himself sprung having an affair because his wife found emailed pics (which he had requested, smh smh).

 

[codswallop]

I dislike talking to people and prefer the distance of email. And then as usual today I had an email exchange with someone that was heading in circles so called them and explained why things wouldn't magically work how they wanted. Took 2 minutes. Still prefer email.

 

[Yagharek]

Since when was "social media commentator" a profession?

 

[Choc]

Vince doesn't think i am a nut. This pleases me.

i am actually very nice in person ;_;

 

[Yagharek]

GameHed is a nut. You're just enthusiastic about a few issues.

 

[Salazar]

Still prefer email.

Email is godlike for work purposes.

Ugh.

Slipperiest ethical slope ever.

Ms Edelsten said that before and after intimacy they had a cup of tea and a Cherry Ripe. ''The guy's a legend. He's a prime example of use it or lose it, in every sense of the word.''

Clive, you are some kind of genius. And a fool, naturally.

Ms Edelsten, you are not acquitting yourself well. A man's pre and post-coital Cherry Ripes are his own business.

You should marry Gina Rinehart.

How can you marry that which is not human or mammal.

If anyone sees Mass Effect 2 on 360 cheap, post links!

He had been really pushing his luck lately, taking the shtick too far.

Also SalsaShark is FINALLY back!

Email leaves a paper trail, which is incredibly handy and forcing people to do what you want and to fuck people in the arsehole when they don't do the right thing. Nothing more satisfying than tearing a clownshoe to pieces by forwarding old emails to multiple recipients to point out that they don't do their job very well.

Fixed.

This is probably normal for most people. I had to change what I was doing when I came to the realisation it would only head towards academia, something I'm not suited to. Depression soon followed, concurrent with working retail.

You'll find something enjoyable some day. It just might not be anything you're considering now.

 

[Salazar]

I look back on the last month with despair.

I am the world's biggest social doofus and I don't think my head will ever be right again.

Is the Sniper Elite demo good ?

Indeed. Learned my lesson early on. The best approach is to call someone to get things sorted fast and then email a confirmation for follow up. Quick and a trail for arse covering! Still still prefer email so I don't have to talk to those jerk workmates I don't want to speak to.

Never do something that your hearts not in. You will end up a miserable old person wondering what you did with your life

yes its taken a ridiculous amount of time to do your degree and work, but seriously if you hate it, don't do it

People are not good at things they dont like doing.

edit: you need to keep every email you send and get, seriously no matter how big it is. Because one day it will save your arse as it has mine many times (when people said i didnt do shit and it was someone else who didnt after i asked them to do it)

Avenger is ducking rad, dudes

 

[Axiom]

I am aching to see Avengers, but not midnight on a night like this aching.


There's a new Doctor Who game coming out for PS3 and Vita and they are doing a limited retail release through Amazon UK, it won't let me buy it due to being Australian.

Being part of the commonwealth seems extra pointless now.

How the hell do I get around this?

Oh yeah, well tiffany can't sing!

Don't care. Still looks pretty good though.
