Don't listen to him holy! IKEA is amazing!!!

I got everyone's gaf name down by the time we were chinese fooding, but I can't remember anyone's real name (except shaneus, of course) oh well.
Yeah forget learning your real names. If you wanted me to know those you wouldnt have made up fake names.
 
Managed to escape photos. I'm like the MelGAF ninja. Next time Omi and I shall bring our DSLRs and have brand wars.

Would be up for a Game Masters thing.

Hope the wallet survives Comic Con today.

It was pretty weird and hilarious that we referred to each other by our GAF names.:D hell no-one even knew my dads name, he was just known as "Lafiel's dad" :lol

I remember Shannon, Shaenus because they have easy translations and Cods name cos that was the only thing I spoke to him about.

And yours Laf cos it's a bit Biblical.
 
I should have taken my hood off for photos but someone decided we should have a meetup in winter and it was cold. Ohwell. Shame we never got a pre event photo with cods

I was so close to inviting myself back to holys, so glad I didn't now xD

(kinda wanted to play cards against humanity xD)
 
God these photos are worse than I remembered.

Should have taken some flashless in the Dragon Boat.

Last photo is the only one I think I like xD

Jesus those are some shitty photos! Were they taken on one of those shitty spy cameras you get in the bottom of a box of cereal?

Also Jambo looks like the boss. I hope you act exactly like Charlie from Sunny In Philly and yell out WILDCARD BITCHES! all the time.

Also Laf's Dad doesn't even look like the oldest one there!
lol Omi ;)

No Aon photo? Sly.

I just started New Vegas last night, then all of a sudden it was midnight. So screw you guys, I'll get my own casino, with blackjack, and hookers. Ah forget the hookers. And the blackjack too, my Luck is too low. :(
 
Thanks for that second pic of the food holy. Remind me never to check gaf during lunch again.

There's a bunch of cosplayers in the food court, and they've reminded me what I dislike about conventions. There's a certain breed that has absolutely no spacial awareness. Sailor moon and soul eater started glomping in front of the counter and speaking faux Japanese. I just wanted to buy my lunch;.;

Hoping to pick up Pokemon conquest today, fingers crossed><
You heard it here first folks, Samsung Galaxy Nexus takes real shitty ass photos at night.
If it's any consolidation, they look fine from my phone.

You need to start rebuking them in actual Japanese

If it doesn't have X-COM, Dishonoured, Hitman: Absolution, or artists who work on either Batman Family, Blue Beetle, or Spiderman comics I really don't give a shit

But it has halo 4 playable

I know Ive said this before, about how much halo 3 was a letdown bordering on rubbish. But halo 4 at least being a fresh start might be worthwhile if they have some actual writers on board.

I have no love left for the series, but I bet that 343 does a better halo than bungie ever did.
 

Kritz

Banned
BrisGAF
Date: Tuesday, 3rd of July
Starting Time: 5:30PM
Venue: Grill'd et al. (meet at Central)
Organiser: shanshan310

Confirmed: Kritz, Clipper, shanshan310, Marshmellow, Gazunta, viciouskillersquirrel + waifu, Rlan (6:00-)
Probable: Fallbackpants, ClivePwned, CrazedProfessional, Bodyboarder, Salazar

Meet at 5:30pm at Central Station around the corner from the ticketing station (on the ATM side, not the news agents / Maccas side). There is a bench there across from the shoe repair / key cutter place that will sit several people comfortably that's hardly ever crowded. Transport info.

So just to confirm,

This is more or less the plan for BrisGAF? Meet at A and head over to B, and then eat durgers and then ??? go find a place that serves some kind of alcohol maybe.

If someone could provide a photograph of the initial meet place, that'd be cool beans.

I dunno, I've always thought the Rapture premise sounded compelling.....

but the only people that seemed interested in exploring it are usually hardcore christians >_>

It's the same principle as any other "harvest" type event a la Signs by Mr "That's the Twist".

The problem is that Lindelof is so ham-fisted and un-subtle at handling metaphysical concepts that it really grates and diminishes anything he touches. Prometheus was a great film, for example, but his little dalliances with the topic were the worst parts of the movie.

Lost was ridiculous too. I only ever watched maybe 10 episodes total, whilst on nightshifts, and fuck me was that terrible writing. I remember thinking "I bet they end it all with an 'it was only a dream'" cop-out and they did. I read the spoilers of the final when it was all the rage and boy did he make a meal out of that one.

'Rapture' stories are intellectually hollow fluff pieces right up there with Twilight fanfic and anything that follows 'The Heroes Journey' to a T (I'm looking at you, Avatar).


Nice, I've only managed to play like an hour of mine, seems fun!

I managed to buy this by the way. So far I did not get laughed at for buying it and I managed to not play it all week.
