FYI Danoss,

I am still interested in role play night. Haven't been pushing for it because I am in the middle of exam country. Sometime late June would be my best date.

Cool beans. I hadn't forgotten about it, I just wanted do be at a point where I'm physically and mentally up to the task. I'll get there soon enough. I'll keep that date in mind and have something ready around then.

The beatdown, it comes. Will read with great enjoyment once it hits.

Role Play night?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

AusGaf should buy this:

Diablo 3 Box only $2

Because you know how you love to buy games and not play them.

 

[Deeku]

If they could make 1 and a bit cities consistently boring after 5 years of iterating, I don't hold much hope for 5 cities in 2 years, or anything groundbreakingly new. I really hope they prove me wrong!

And Happy Birthday Salazar!

You dont have to be einstein to realise facebooks isnt worth 100 billion buckeroos, but it helps.

Microsoft makes 25 billion, it worth 250 billion.
Apple makes 50 billion, is worth 500 billion.
Facebook makes 1 billion, is worth 104 billion?

See, I used to think she was super cute, but now I can't disconnect that awful character from her face. New Girl has ruined her!

Spoiler

I know its lame, but I really wanted to use that gif...

I just pretend the show doesn't exist.

Also that gif is awesome.

Ignoring is for pussies!

Also, I hope Zynga pops too along with booksfaced.

Hey, have you guys seen the video for Gotye's easy way out? I really like the way it was done (stop motion?).

I just pretend the show doesn't exist.

Wish I could

will be hillarious if Facebook drops below Zynga value

Zyngas getting smashed as well (as they are so intrinsically linked)

So Space X have just put their Dragon capsule up to dock with the ISS and their entire budget to date ($800m) is less than what Facebook paid for Instagram ($1B). And Space X is profitable.

The power of the Sikkmod mod. So good.

Also

Who be that? And are there any instructions around for that Sikkmod thing? Hard to get up and running?

Also V Festival a few years back was amazeballs, just for QOTSA and Smashing Pumpkins alone! Too much running around or shitty bands to sit through that you have already seen a dozen times at BDO lately though. Soundwave has had killer lineups.

Holy shit, you went to that V Festival? You (being an Adelaidian, yes?) would've had the "Best of V" with Melbourne, swapping acts btw the grungey ones (that you went to) and the electronic/dancey ones (that I went to in Melb). Pet Shop Boys, Gnarls Barkley, Groove Armada (so, so fucking good) amongst others. Absolutely loved it.

South Australian Opposition Leader Isobel Redmond says women facing sexual discrimination in the workplace should just ignore it and get on with their jobs.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-05-23/libs-leader-tells-women-to-ignore-discrimination/4027684

Although to be fair, she is right that legal options tend to be rather... hard (hehe).

But proving discrimination, and the general recompense is generally rather low.

But spaceX isn't hipster enough.

Guys.

Truth in 24 II: Every Second Counts is finally available for download from iTunes.

I can't wait to watch it. The first film is one of my favorite documentaries, and considering Audi's road to victory at Le Mans last year was, frankly, far more harrowing and dramatic than 2008, if this sequel does any justice to to the race it chronicles, it ought to be even better.

Watch it. If it's anything like the first (which wasn't available in the AU iTunes store) it'll be awesome. Mostly just for petrolheads and fans of Jason Statham, though.

In this world you've got to be strong
You've got to fight to keep your spirit alive
And you might feel like there's nothing left to go for and fight for
But it's the fight that keeps us ready and on top

Even I can feel feel the power
When I think of him
I see no fear, feel no pain

Forever he will be my hero
(Better believe he knows the way)
And not just only for tonight

And now that I'm not just a dreamer
(And I know I got what he's got)
And not just only for tonight

I've got power
I'm gonna fight to win
I'm gonna fight to the end

Even I can feel the power
When I think of you
I see no fear, feel no pain

Forever he will be my hero
(Better believe he knows the way)
And not just only for tonight

And now that I'm not just a dreamer
(And I know I got what he's got)
And not just only for tonight

Forever he will be my hero
(Forever he will be my hero)
And now that I'm not just a dreamer
(And now that I'm not just a dreamer)

Forever he will be my hero
(Forever he will be my hero)
And now that I'm not just a dreamer
(And now that I'm not just a dreamer)

Forever he will be my hero
And now that I'm not just a dreamer
Forever he will be my hero
And now that I'm not just a dreamer
Forever he will be my hero
And now that I'm not just a dreamer.



Fuck you Nintendo! Just buy Sega and make them the F Zero company!

I don't know if we still do that big wall of text to new members. But the questions anyone who matters cares about are:

What platforms?
What genres?
Favourite game?
Current game(s)?

SteamID, XBL Thing, Playstation whatever, Nintendo lol code?

Sports?
Politics?
Other boring things?

As a community, we have this thread, our IRC channel and the Steam chat. Losers hang out in the thread, people with jobs hang out in IRC during the day and the cool kids hang out in the Steam chat.
