So I officially hate working on a weekend.

Also I hate linux. I also hate everything. Gah.

One month in I'm struggling to find anything on the android store worth playing or paying for. People really think smartphone games are the future?

About the only fun I had was reporting a bible app for objectional content on the basis of hateful/abusive content.

iOS store contains more games, plus since it's policed it needs to meet certain criteria.

 

[Dead Man]

Fun fact: 18-year-olds were not alive when that episode went to air. Fucking hell.

That is the most depressing thing I have ever read. Jesus.

The Swans arent going to win a final. Feels bad man.

also written by conan o'brien lol

 

[reptilescorpio]

I wish Conan could have written an episode of Futurama back in the day, just for old times sake.

On iOS or Android? Since Android isn't a walled garden you can just jump online and download whatever you want and transfer to your phone. pretty much impossible to stop piracy on Android, main problem though is compatability issues. Too many fucking versions of Android and handsets to get it all running perfect without going overbudget compared to iOS stuff.

 

[Yagharek]

On both. Ive heard of pirated versions of pokemon etc being sold on iOS for 99c.

Walled garden or not, its not like a lot of stuff isnt going to sneak through by brute force of numbers of submissions.

 

[Yagharek]

fun fact. There will be children born around the time I stopped watching the Simpsons (2000-2001) starting high school around about now.

I stopped watching the Simpsons in the mid 90s, and the people born then include people who are parents now.

 

[Ventron]

Yay! At PAX Prime! Sucked in fellow Aussies! Nyahnanana.....

*Gabe and Tycho announce PAX Australia 2013*

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

Told the crowd did not appreciate his lack-lustre effort, Tomic said: "That's your prediction. I have mine. That's how I play. If you think that's that, it's up to you. What is your name?

Swanton: "Will."

Tomic: "Will who?

Swanton: "Will Swanton."

Tomic: "From?"

Swanton: "Reuters."

Tomic: "I'll remember you."

lol, what a pissant

 

[Yagharek]

lol, what a pissant

I wasnt aware mediocre tennis players had much of a platform to look down from.

He got flogged too. I can understand the tanking comments. It was embarrassing to watch.

difference is that you don't even have to jailbreak an android phone to installed pirated stuff...

it really is a clusterfuck imo :/

I think the latest version, jellybean, offers signed apks?

maybe that will help....


ps: still have 23 bucks of free google money from the n7.... Horn looks tempting.

Happy bithday x3n05! How old are you? IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING

Just came back from seeing Moonrise Kingdom. Sweet and odd (like every Anderson film). Enjoyable but I wouldn't put it near my preferred Anderson films. One critic said this which is pretty interesting:

"Anderson's best live-action feature" because "it takes as its primary subject matter odd, precocious children, rather than the damaged and dissatisfied adults they will one day become."

I think I prefer the damaged adult stories.

Warner Bro are having a big Blu Ray sale on their website. You can get the Kubrick pack for $23! (Was $20 at Sanity a while back) Also 20% off for new customers or something. Free postage over $50.

Got this. Came to $19.15 with the new member discount.
Only one in the box I haven't seen is Lolita so keen to see that. Still need to see Paths of Glory and The Killing too. I also already own 2001 on Blu but it's still worth it for such a low price.

Their page also reminded me, everyone needs to see The Informant! with Matt Damon. Fucking great movie.

Was an odd film but definitely enjoyable.

What's the point of a Kubrick collection without Strangelove?

My thoughts exactly. Oh well.

 

[Shaneus]

That is the most depressing thing I have ever read. Jesus.

Well, there you go. People can go out and legally drink yet they weren't around to see that episode air live. Or any episode from that season, for that matter.

PS. Wayne's World is a 20-year-old movie.

 

[Jintor]

I was going to make a Keanu Reeves joke but that's Bill and Ted huh

 

[Gazunta]

I have a working PC again! New Windows 7 install on a 64GB SSD, and a new 1TB HDD to store all the Steam games on

Spoiler

that I will never ever play

.

Can't wait to get Photoshop going on this and crank out the next book for Supanova. Any last minute game requests?

 

[Shaneus]

I can't believe you confused them.

Get out.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

I can't believe you confused them.

Get out.

To be fair, they're both comparable in their level of non-heinousness.

 

[shanshan310]

Hey guys.... what happened to Yowies? They were so exciting. Picking the colour... discovering the animal inside... But I don't remember seeing them on shop shelves in years. I never noticed until today, and now I'm feeling rather sad.



Also this thread needs more simpsons quotes.

according to wikipedia:

"In mid 2005 the Yowie was removed from sales in Australia and New Zealand. It was rumored that the Yowie's sales declined from 2001 onward."​

Borderlands 2 season pass DLC is $16 on the Aussie store. Get in quick as its a price mistake.

 

[Deeku]

I probably only ever bought one or two yowies. Kinder had better toys!

 

[shanshan310]

Noooo. Yowie had the Australian animals and stuff!

 

[codswallop]

Kinder Surprise don't contain toys in the US. I think they may have started this year but I'm not sure if the toy is outside the chocolate egg or if they still don't include them.

 

[wonzo]

yowie >>>>> kinder surprise

Or wait for bomba and buy the whole game for less.

Haha great joke

I don't think anyone in high school would even know who Mike Myers is at this point :/

STRANGELOVE

My thoughts exactly. Oh well.

You can grab it for around $15 from the UK. They have an awesome Digibook edition in the US too I think. Probably going to grab the Digibook of Spartacus at the end of the year.

Yowies chocolate tasted amazing

This is an amazing deal, I thought it was $30 in the US? Ton of content will be for that too, would expect another 3-4 packs.

 

[Yagharek]

Haha great joke

Dont take it seriously though. I dont know much about the series

 

[Box of Bunnies]

I don't think anyone in high school would even know who Mike Myers is at this point :/

Well, people in the latter half of it would probably know him as the voice of Shrek :V

 

[Jintor]

Clearly we need ONE LAST AUSTIN POWERS MOVIE

 

[reptilescorpio]

THE LOVE GURU TOO

Well, people in the latter half of it would probably know him as the voice of Shrek :V

Nah they probably think it is Zack Effron putting on an accent or something :/

 

[codswallop]

Clearly we need ONE LAST AUSTIN POWERS MOVIE

The first Austin Powers was all we need. I can tolerate two, but that's it for the ones after the first.

What was really awesome was last year watching Austin Powers, telling the wife how it used all the James Bond tropes, then watching all the James Bond movies over a period of a few months then watching Austin Powers again.

 

[midonnay]

Happy bithday x3n05

I don't think they've updated it for jellybean yet.... I did try to buy it before but none of the videos would play properly.

anyways I ended up using gmote.... abit bare bones but it hasn't failed me yet



looks like North Melbourne screwed up and only slightly beat GWS....

Dockers would have to tank to face us ._.

ps: sydney... >_>

Also realising all the little cameos that we never understood back in the day. Like Will Ferrell!

Hey, happy birthday. 1976 was a great year.

 

[codswallop]

Old man AusGAF reprezent. 78 over here.

Edit: Erm, 1978, not 78 years old. Might look young for my age, but not that young!

 

[reptilescorpio]

1986 will be remembered as the most important year in all of creation.

 

[Planet_JASE]

Oh, so close. 2 years too late, cods.

Rep, you ain't even close. You so far from close that I feel ashamed for you.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

I agree, and so does George Orwell

There are people in High School who only know Arnie as the former Governor of California.
