[Choc]

i have spotify here but then again i am not on an SOE and am trusted with local admin privlleges

 

[Choc]

seems i was right to say the QLD should have been binned as well

But Harrigan suggested Cecchin could also have binned Queensland prop Matt Scott for sparking the brawl by throwing the ball into Greg Bird's head.

That was my first computer.

[Yagharek]

Mine: http://old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=244

Looks eerily similar to an old terminal that Ive seen at a radio telescope facility in hobart.

 

[Omikron]

First one I used was an old BBC thing, I think it was this: http://old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=29&st=1

There are a few similar models mind you.

Also first game I ever played: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G090ju-DpqU

 

[VOOK]

So Jintor wrote a cool article for us;

http://www.vooks.net/interview-return-of-the-dark-side-with-darksiders-ii/

 

[Jintor]

Don't make me buy you this jint!

It's like 50 bucks from coop bookshop, really really worth it imo.

They have a thing on suru too I think, like suru is transitive and naru is intransitive (they are a pair). Need to look that up.

Hmmm... i have a speaking test in two weeks, maybe worth getting now to get my script.

Nice.

First game I played was a vz200 code-your-own version of this space invaders clone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I43BZtTpd0

There was no city scope in the background, fewer colours and the player turret was much wider.

 

[untoldhero]

listen to Fredescu Untold

I would if he replied or anyone by that matter

 

[Alex Connolly]

Looks eerily similar to an old terminal that Ive seen at a radio telescope facility in hobart.

Is that the one out at Cambridge?

 

[codswallop]

Not 100% sure which version, but this was our first computer. TRS-80 clone.

 

[Yagharek]

Oh my.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXBpMCVicic

My first Amiga shmup, Menace.

Music for this game was fucking incredible. Back when everyone at school was listening to Nirvana, this was my choice. Still.

Almost as good as Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 and Speedball 2.

edit in real time: holy shit, Menace was made by DMA!!!!!!

Is that the one out at Cambridge?

Yep.

 

[FallbackPants]

Paul Kent tears the Referees a new one

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...-origin-game-one/story-e6frexv9-1226364788874


Good job.

oh and to top it off refs boss says no try

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...-greg-inglis-try/story-e6frexv9-1226365092333

EAT SHIT QLD. Referees should be fucking dropped from even the NRL this week. IF i had a performacne like that i would be in park premier league for 2 or so weeks. Not blood semi professional stuff


lol

"Bill Harrigan admitted that the Inglis try should never have been awarded," Stuart told The Daily Telegraph last night.

"And that Greg Bird should not have been penalised for the lifting tackle on Cooper Cronk in the first half.

"He also said Akuila Uate should have been given a penalty when he was elbowed in the head (by Cameron Smith)."

queensland biased much referees?

BACK TO ETHICS SCHOOL FOR YOU.

I have to do it, you should to, arseholes

Cool. Than its no try and Queensland still win by two points.
But those other two are bullshit and Harrigan can eat a dick. Bird lifted Cronk beyond the horizontal. Come the fuck on. That is fucking ridiculous, that is a penalty every day of the week. And Uate fell into Smith elbow. Nothing anyone could have done about that. Painful, but no ones fault.

seems i was right to say the QLD should have been binned as well

But Harrigan suggested Cecchin could also have binned Queensland prop Matt Scott for sparking the brawl by throwing the ball into Greg Bird's head.

Again Harrigan can get fucked. At most the penalty should have been reversed. No way he should have been binned. He threw a ball, Jennings ran 20+ metres to king hit someone.

This isn't going anywhere is it Choc? I vote we move on and start this again in a few weeks?

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

Reckon it's dodgy to install Spotify on the work laptop?

It will use a bit of data. I'm using it but my work is a bit more ok with that sort of stuff. Heres a comment on ozbargain that says the amount of data used:

ggop on 22/05/2012 - 13:28
The lowest bitrate is 94kbps (default for mobile). That comes up to approx 41MB per hour of continuous streaming (94/1024/8*3600). Highest rate is 320kbps, which would be 140MB/hr

Free desktop uses (assuming) 128kbps thatd be approx 57mb/hr.

 

[Choc]

Prevention is better than the cure

without the chuck, the fight never would have occured. thats the point

yes its getting no where but the refs fucked up and harrigans admitted it

 

[shanshan310]

I have no idea what kind of computer I first had, but the first game I played on it was Myst. Scared the crap out of me.

Don't make me buy you this jint!

They have a thing on suru too I think, like suru is transitive and naru is intransitive (they are a pair). Need to look that up.

Don't buy it from co-op! It's probably cheaper... well, anywhere.
Thinking of getting the int/ advanced dictionaries, Do you know if those are good too? The advanced one is like $80 @_@

The Dota 2 UI got worse you guys.

D: ahh.

Lol is getting an update too, but this one looks great. New graphics, some character Do overs, towers ping before they hit you.

 

[Jintor]

For $50 and having it in my hand immediately, it's worth the extra $10 than getting it on Amazon and dealing with shipping and delivery.

The golden rule I always learnt from my uncle in primary school cricket/footy is that "the retaliator always gets caught".

I know we just agreed to stop it, but Harrigan said he never told Ricky that. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/referees-boss-harrigan-furious-at-stuarts-try-concession-claim-20120524-1z68g.html

 

[evlcookie]

I would if he replied or anyone by that matter

I guess 800 is doable. You would just need a cpu, motherboard, ram and GPU right?

So prob either go with sandy bridge if it's cheaper or hit up ivy bridge. CPU could be say 250, motherboard could be 150 - 200 ram is cheap and that leaves you open for a video card.Maybe a 570 if you like nvidia since the new stuff is 500+ or ati with a 650/70 depending on how much it is.

 

[jambo]

How many watched the Origin last night? Good to see QLD win, though the try was tough to judge. Bring on the next game

I didn't even know it was on until this morning, when I was catching up on AusGAF and reading all of Choc's ranting.

 

[Fredescu]

I would if he replied or anyone by that matter

It's been a hell of a morning. I'll make a list from Arc shortly. I was at Arc in Parra on the weekend!

 

[EatChildren]

Best thing about winter is slow cooker goodness. Got a fantastic little vege soup going at the moment which really hits the spot.

Fuck yeah. There's really nothing quite like a slow cooked soup, casserole or any hot pot dish when the weather is miserable.

Ahh OK thanks. I'll post some examples and see what people think

 

[Jintor]

I have got to learn to cook actual mushroom soup one day

pour

in dat cream

 

[Kirby102]

Rrgh, so annoyed. Why doesn't DSE have Mario Tennis Open yet.

I'm at work wanting to buy the game but I don't want to buy it at EB cause they're ripping me off. ($68, @ North Syd FYI)

I want to price match with them but I don't think that will work at all. :\ Why can't I just get it cheap and then play it on my way home...

 

[Fredescu]

Ahh OK thanks. I'll post some examples and see what people think

What's your current power supply? Which ARC branch is closest to you?

 

[r1chard]

Fuck yeah. There's really nothing quite like a slow cooked soup, casserole or any hot pot dish when the weather is miserable.

Also the easiest way to make porridge - put the ingredients in the night before and wake up to perfect porridge. The best on a sub-10-degree morning.

 

[markot]

Theres an aussie team in the dota2 international. IS IT YOU GUYS?!

try that

 

[Deeku]

The intermediate one is really good. The best part of these dictionaries are the special topics and appendixes, soooo much stuff I didn't know/learn properly! Haven't started going through the advanced yet. Also, the advanced was only 60 or so bucks from coop, free shipping!!!

Jint, I don't think coop mq has them, UTS has heaps if I remember correctly. Or Usyd. Just order online, they're quite quick.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

What platforms?
3DS, Wii, PS3, PC (but the 3DS is my main one by far)


What genres?
Platformers, JRPGs, shmups, 2D games of all types, whatever the heck Zelda is

Favourite game?
Super Metroid

Current game(s)?
Xenoblade Chronicles, The World Ends With You

SteamID, XBL Thing, Playstation whatever, Nintendo lol code?
VKSquirrel on both PS and Steam. Nintendo friend code is somewhere

Sports?
LOL

Politics?
Big into US politics. I watch it like other men watch sports.

Aussie politics I'm not really into either big party. The Labor Party and unions are run by nepotistic fools (chaotic good) and the Liberals by amoral plunderers (lawful evil). The National Party is run by Luddites (lawful neutral). Bob Katter is a populist though he would never call himself one because he has never in his life had anything resembling a coherent thought (chaotic stupid).

Other boring things?
I dunno. I like Nintendo, I guess? I'm an engineer and my wife and I are house hunting.

 

[shanshan310]

It should be!
I think everyones to busy playing Diablo at the moment though.

Also the easiest way to make porridge - put the ingredients in the night before and wake up to perfect porridge. The best on a sub-10-degree morning.

@_@ sub ten??!
Having a bread maker is amazing as well. Waking up to the smell of fresh bread. Mmmmm. And slow cooker food as well.

The intermediate one is really good. The best part of these dictionaries are the special topics and appendixes, soooo much stuff I didn't know/learn properly! Haven't started going through the advanced yet. Also, the advanced was only 60 or so bucks from coop, free shipping!!!

Oooh, I might check if they have them at uq...
I try to avoid co-op on principle, but they are so convenient.

I don't think there is that much of a gap between the 7850 and the GTX570, but there is quite a step up to the 7870. The GTX570 will use more power, so make sure you have a decent 600w PSU to run it or don't bother. The 7850 needs 500w and the 7870 needs 550w.
