Two sports events spoiled on the one page, and the day's not over!
In case you're not joking, or if anyone else thinks you're not and takes it to heart, I don't think this is really a valid complaint. If you really don't want to be spoiled on sporting events you have to stay away from all sources of news and discussion. People really shouldn't have to spoiler tag sporting results, or not talk about them while the event is happening.

Fred considering that not one television channel, fox sports included, broadcast the unveiling of the Wanderers and all of my info came from twitter feeds


tv is no longer mass media or on the pulse

Are you sure it wasn't on fox sports news?

but ever so delicious
I use my Sandisk SSD as my quasi-gaming drive (with some Steam titles junctioned across) and my old SSD I've configured to use as a read/write cache for the rest of my stuff (under RAID 0, 2x5400rpm 1.5tb drives). Runs like a dream.

I have a 1TB HDD that serves as my gaming drive along with random files.

That 512 SSD could easily do the trick for music, gaming and porn. Not too sure what I would do with the 1TB though, Backup I guess. It's been around for a good while.

Why do you want to spend so much on a gaming drive? Finding your game loads are too slow?

Na not really. I don't even play all that much these days aside from dota 2 and whatever new may come out. I just kinda like the idea of separating stuff onto different drives. I like the OS to be on it's own, If I could have games to be on it's own then woo. Then there would just be a random drive for random things.

Makes it more neat or something. I'm only slightly crazy.

Spoiler tags would be appreciated for at least 24 hours after a sporting event IMO. Particularly when bigger events such as finals etc.

I'm not really fussed knowing the score, and I'll still watch that particular match, but I guess I'm going to have to wear blinkers the day of the Euro 2012 final.

In a perfect world, they'd be there, but I think you're only doing yourself a disservice by expecting them somewhere where they're never going to be enforced.


When did Sythblade change his username again?
Not long after the SC2 launch since his name comes from the first SC2 tournament.

yeah omi

it was on fox sports news as a news story, NOT as a live broadcast.

Which is CRAZY given Fox has the fucking Aleague rights exclusive and has a 24/7 news channel. It's possible FFA didn't want that, but i HIGHLY doubt it

edit: fwiw they broadcast the removal of gold coast live, and the jets owner pulling out live.

seems weird

Maybe, but it's also nice to be considerate of others when posting.

Should all posting of live events be spoiler tagged? A lot of that goes on in this thread, from the AFL crew, to Origin, to Cricket. I'm not sure that you can call posting that has happened for years "inconsiderate".


Terrible joke about cods being holy being sythblade. Or something something spoilers.
Man that was too long ago to get, but I get it now! Probably just my terrible memory.

Don't worry, Omi. I understood.
So my memory is failing.

Ugh.

Switched on QT stream, tumbleweeds in parliament while Abbott speaks.

Edit: Apparently the coal industry is going to die, according to Abbott.

Grabbed it Friday, only put in a couple of hours so far. Probably doesn't have the depth super strategy fans would be after but I'm enjoying it so far.
Cools. Yeah, I was thinking it would be the same deal as the mystery dungeon games - slightly simplified but overall decent and enjoyable games.

Never played a Nobunaga game either so I'm curious, pokemon skin is a plus. I'll probably get it some time this week!

That's it. I'm bribing a glassie to bring the drinks over to us during MelbGAF. Gettin' pissed, watching interviews with nerds. Awesome.

I'm of the mind that for obvious, big-deal events that you should be mindful of it, but I don't think there's ever a need to walk on eggshells. Everyone generally has a good idea of what might be spoilable and what won't. Shit, on the night/morning of the Canadian GP, it was basically complete media blackout until the race was available for download on Usenet (was live @ 2am our time, not up for download until ~11am. Zero GAF, zero Twitter, a fair chunk of internet (but not in areas where sports discussion can creep in... sites like Guru3D) but that's it. Don't want to know what position an Australian finished in in Formula 1? Best not to go to an Australian-centric, largely OT thread on a gaming forum.
 
Choc the Wsw being predicted is because they listened to fan feedback, it's exactly what I wanted from a western Sydney club. Should pretty fun come October. By far, they are the most professional looking a league club

yeah im impressed by WSW much more than i was the mariners

i'd go for WSW but i'd just be called a wanker because i dont live out west :)

its very much going to be a grass roots, area club so i get that.

edit: also as a professional referee i am not supposed to go for a club :p

Choc I didn't see Wanderers stuff anywhere. Like online or TV. I was telling people about it from the stuff you were posting. You'd think that's the kind of stuff the SMH at least would be covering. I guess this is what happens when you announce something soccer related in the middle of Origin

Not on FSN is the strangest though. What's the point of that channel if not to cover breaking sports news?

You mean a liveblog or something? SMH had an article about the use of Parra stadium prior to the announcement. Then they had a news article up about the announcement by 1pm.

Just an update confirming it you would expect, showing off the colours and the logo especially. I saw the prior article but still can't see a story about it. I'm not digging much admittedly, but you'd think that'd be fairly big news for them.
