Do you need a physical copy? I can still remember mine off the top of my head =/

I remember San Andreas coming out that week and I did nothing but play it. Clocked up 100 hours before the end of exams. Forgot to bring my Cheat Sheet into the Maths Methods exam with me (thankfully I had it for the Specialist Maths one).

80.50! The benchmark at the start of the year was 70 to get into shitty Commerce at shitty Deakin. And then it turned out people with 60 got in first round anyway, lol.

I wish I learnt how to apply myself >_<

Bahaha yes! Ps2 slim launched with it too! Ahhh bitter sweet memories.

Haha, yes! And it sounds like someone listens to my podcast :3 Unfortunately Americans don't consider me American anymore and Aussies don't consider me Australian... #foreveralone
Yep, just following the shidoshi/morning radio train. Hopefully you guys can keep to the planned schedule, unlike a certain other related podcast!

Hey guys look at this Megaman thing I'm doing.

Arrow keys to move. Z for jump. R to reset when you fall down the hole (don't say you won't do it!)

No shooting yet, only been working on it like 2-3 days maximum for about a total of what, 4-5 hours?

Trator. :mad:

Does ibis mean mega and Kritz game is now just Kritz game?
 
The only real skills you need, ever, is the ability to identify people who work smarter/harder than you and figuring out how to get on their team.

And then convince them that the best thing for everyone is for them to work FOR you. My hours watching the weasel on the nature channel at Uni has taught me well!

Discovered the gervais xfm radio show recordings the week my exams started. Let's just say I listened to them all. And did 0 study.

70.2!

95.2

But they want my exam results... which I don't have off the top of my head.
95.35! Coming from a shitty Victorian public school, it was much more than what I predicted or aimed for (70-something and 83-84, respectively). Still think they made a mistake with that one..

Do they just give out exam results over there? I had to pay them to get mine. :\ (unless we're talking about study scores? Or is that a Victorian thing?)

Omi so smart. D:

edit: The only thing I did to ruin my exam performance was play and finish Mass Effect PC the weekend before my Physics mid-year. Still my best exam, though, heh.


I have no idea how to read them! But they seem really good..
They're just rankings with .05 increments (at least in Vic). So 95+ means top 5% of state, 90+, top 10%, etc. There's an advantage to doing particular subjects due to scaling (of something else that feeds into those rankings. Again, might just be a Vic thing), which makes it possible to get a good rank without being smart (like in my case). To get high 90s without doing subjects that can make up an 'Asian 5' is really impressive, I reckon.

Went out to see a band with my friend he's had to bail after the first band. Now sitting here alone oh god! Very small crowd too. Comfy seats tho..
 
My sister is one of those freaks that got 99.something. At least I didn't suffer a mental breakdown though! Ha!
Actually the whole thing was scary and I was shocked she did so well considering she did her exams in the hospital while being a fucking nutcase. :(

GOG final sale!
Outcast for $2.40! Hugely impressive game that was soooo ahead of its time! Omi approved!
Also stealth reveal of 2 new games! One will be $9 tomorrow and the other, that wins the vote, will be $6! Torchlight and Chronicles of Riddick 1&2! DRM mothertrucking free!!!

Don't worry about it. I've seen a few bands alone where friends have bailed / got lost in the crowd / or whatever, and after a while you forget you're even by yourself. Which band are you at?
 
I'll hang out in the corner with Mega. Our scores were low because we partied hard, right?
Didn't party hard

I managed to get sick AND start playing WoW, basically in the 2 weeks for study before exams.
as if 2 weeks were enough. ergh

I was also at a private school so that was double disappointing to my parents. :( My school recently went bankrupt with national news!

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Did any other super sexy AusGAFfers import Max Anarchy/Anarchy Reigns?

88.something!


I only needed 80 to get into my course so I spent the afternoons watching Fawlty Towers instead of studying.

Also I got up and left my 3 unit maths exam after one question, because it wasn't going to apply to my UAI and I just thought "3 unit maths? nope".

95.55, just so that I could own all the fives in the world.

My other half got 99, just to make me feel inadequate ;__;

My exam wrecking media was Fallout 3, that game unbelievably arrived two days prior to my first exam. I should make an RTTP thread about it or something, what a game :D
