Support NeoGAF

[BananaArnie]

Sounds like fun, how do you sign up?

really?
umm kinda just putting feelers out to see how many people would be interested and what states those people are in.

id imagine it would be over the course of decent amount of time to give people a chance as i doubt most will put much effort into it.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Yes, really...cause I travel all over Victoria. Have work trips to different regional areas 4-5 times a month.

 

[HolyCheck]

Is there an AusGAF steam group?

yup it's just ausgaf. should be able to search it, then join the chat! there's normaly a dozen to 20 people floating about in there!

Am sleeping in a ryokan in Magome tonight and tomorrow night. Accepting either jealousy, pity or pitied jealousy.

I am so damn jealous. Do they have a big communal bath? :O If so, dooo eeeeet!

I sleep in a big bed with my wife

So, Dishonored definitely takes the spot of my favourite 2012 game so far. Haven't played XCOM yet, but Dishonored clicked on almost all levels. Amazing game.

 

[Gazunta]

XCOM + Splashtop + iPad = blissful comfy couch gaming AND I can pretend to pay attention to the wife!

You have my jealously! Pics of food please.

I've only stayed in a ryokan like once, but I was too young to really appreciate it:/

About to see Icehouse perform live at an RSL. Waiting for support group (with no members born when Icehouse was in their heyday) to piss off so I can wave a lighter in the air and shout "play Need You Tonight!"

My wife and I are the youngest people here- apart from the support band and their girlfriends who may or may not be great grandchildren of the main act.

It's All Over You

Which RSL?

 

[ClivePwned]

Forster

 

[Planet_JASE]

D'oh.

I thought it would be somewhere in Brisbane. You are BrisGAF, aren't you? I thought you were.

Adelaide Gaf meet up

November 3rd - november 11th

what dates work for people????

I'll be in Sydney for the weekend of the 10th-11th for Radiohead, so the previous weekend would be best. I'd probably be free a couple of nights during the week too if needed.

 

[ClivePwned]

I'm brisgaf on hols visiting my inlaws who've moved to Tuncurry.

The session muso is giving Iva a break by singing one of how own songs.

In related news there is now a long line for the toilets.

Icehouse is doing brisbane at the Alex Hills Hotel, BTW. damn good show.

 

[codswallop]

This one has a separate one for men and for women. Seems most bathe before dinner. I bathed after and had the place to myself. Because the little rinsing bucket is made from the same wood as the little stool, I didn't realise I was sitting on it (the bucket was upside down on top of the stool) until part way through! Oops! The bath was made entirely from Hinoki cypress which was pretty sweet.

Follow on Twitter (details in the first post). There's a ton of food photos.

Icehouse ay? I wouldn't mind seeing them and listing to some Electric Blue.

Sleeping Dogs is still my GOTY. For me Dishonored isn't all that enjoyable, its alright, but it doesn't make me excited and interested. Sleeping Dogs was what did that for me for the sandbox gta style genre.

Cool beans. We stayed in this ryokan on Miyajima. It was so expensive, I still wince to think about, but you never ever forget the experience.

Enjoy.

I hate twitter! But yeah, I have looked at your feed. I may even perhaps be the random person that translated your wood carving card thingo:O

Oh and the food looks great!

This one wasn't too pricey. ¥37000 for two nights, which was similar to the rate in Takayama (the day after their big Autumn festival). Probably about $220-230 a night. I can live with that.

I doubt any longer is worth it unless you're way into that stuff.

A ryokan on Miyajima would've been awesome! Did you go to Magome or Tsumago? Miyajma would've been nice after dark. Can't believe I forgot we were in Magome and got on the bus to Tsumago!

Ahh, that was you! I thought it was just some random person looking for Japanese stuff to translate! Thanks for that.

I find Twitter is only as good as the people you follow. Unlike Facebook at least it can be one-sided.

 

[pock3tmonster]

Question for Melbourne Gaffers! Does anyone have Pokemon Black 2 and a Challenge Key that I could trade for?

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

I got the Nexus 7. With the short play I had of it it's pretty great. I left my guitar at my girlfriend's dad's and the tablet at hers. So, I won't be screwing with it proper until this weekend. gives me a chance to make a unity thing to plonk on it and see how it runs

edit: according to the email i just checked i got Transformers 3: Michael Bay for free on it. I havent seen it so I may watch it

It's All Over You

I had a little accident.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Logitech Z906 speakers for $299

Anyone got these? I had the older Z5500 speakers a few years ago and they were superb. At this price, this is a great deal; is there anything better available in a similar price range?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

You guys missed out if you didn't watch the live stream of the space jump. ASTOUNDING!!!

I'm not sure which is which, but we were in the village opposite Hiroshima and stayed at a place called Iwaso. I remember paying the equivalent of $700 a night and needless to say we only spent the one night.

Miyajima at night is actually kind of dead, which is a shame.

Bummed I missed it, but no chance I would be up at that hour.


Edit: Those playing XCOM, should perhaps read this: http://techland.time.com/2012/10/12...metimes-arent-and-you-should-play-on-ironman/

 

[legend166]

My home internet has been down for the last 4-5 days. Ugh. TPG are pretty much no help at all.

I'm going to bite the bullet today and ring up and switch over to Bigpond Cable.

 

[Gazunta]

I'm actually trying to avoid any talk about XCOM, oddly enough. I love it to bits and it's the first time in over a decade where I'm not trying to dissect a game while playing it. I just want to enjoy it without really giving a thought about things other people have figured out about it.

In other news guys I need more suggestions for old games to make comics about!

Well at that price you'd want to take advantage of being in the ryokan I guess.

I actually don't remember how much the ones I stayed in cost. I went to this el cheapo one in Kyoto that was right next to the pachiko parlour, but also a really fancy one in Gifu with hot springs and all. Food was amazing, and it was the first time I'd seen stars in months.

 

[Choc]

OH HAI AMERICA

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

Little bitta me here, little bitta me there.

I thought this was Sir Patrick Stewart.

 

[HolyCheck]

lol @ that my gf wants me to install the iphone app thread is hilarious

both the gf and the bf are mental.

 

[midonnay]

make sure the N7 doesn't have any faults.... >_>

dun want to wait a week for these types of things...but hopefully you have a newer model (I think the only diff is that took out some screws )

I thought about eating at the ryokan, but the dinner they offered was a traditional Japanese one for like $150 each. Needless to say we just ate at a teppanyaki place that night.

What sort of faults should I be looking for? I'll have to ask the gf to give it a once over and giving her something to look for would be helpful.

Oh man, I would have thought meals would be included in the room rate The place looks amazing though.

Also I just spent like 20 minutes looking at ryokans lol

 

[FallbackPants]

Just met Mal Meninga.

the most common are screen lift, faulty speaker or dead pixels/lines.


but yeah, its the greatest thing since sliced bread.

ps: the mazec 7 notes handwriting IME for japanese is so awesome.

I actively try to fool it by writing totally out of stroke order and even leaving out strokes altogether and it still recognises most of the characters.

is 11 bucks though >_>

would be useful for anyone travelling in japan paired with a dictionary app *cough* *cough*

Those threads always seem so fake. "Hey give me advice GAF! Lol jk just gonna ignore all of it and do stupid shit!" Then followed by reaction images.
