So that's what a GOTY list voted for by morons looks like. I'm glad I have a relatively low bar of quality to surpass on Best Internet Opinions On Games.
Also, I have to ask... how did a 2011 game that had no rereleases in 2012 beat games that were released in 2012, and on top of that, also beat games that still haven't released in 2012?
lol. no, really.

Their period of availability was probably September 2011 - September 2012 or something. Most awards things do that.
Last amazing DLC I can recall is Infamous 2: Festival of Blood and that was just over 12 months ago now. Funny that Dawnguard is up there as a nominee considering it was widely reported to be shit.
Oh right, you have a Windpad 110W as well! Sweet, will have to get my CD drive etc. all going and stuff. Thing looks like Frankenstein's monster with the USB hub and keyboard and CD drive all fucking dangling off it.
Shit part is, I have to wipe the thing of the current Win8 preview, install Win7 then install Win8.
Do you know if you can do a fresh install of Win8 but only as an "upgrade" using an OEM key? If you know what I mean... technically it's a fresh install, but you use it to "upgrade" the license for the existing software.

The Darkness 2 Steamkey from Amazon for $5. One of the most enjoyable games of the year right here!
EDIT: FECK expired sorry! My fault for leaving it sitting in a tab all day :/

It's possible with Windows 7, not sure if they've closed that hole in 8.
I'm pretty sure that x3n05 did a fresh install using a Win8 upgrade license and the downloaded ISO

PlayAsia now (or recently, I dunno) offer free postage for orders over $25, so I will probably link to more of their bargains from now on. Just add shit like candy for $1 at checkout to bump your order into $25 territory.
Lollipop Chainsaw on PS3/360 for $25

I have considered this. I don't know if Area 52 sell them.
Also they'd be tacky as shit.
I've already bought him every chess book I can think of, a buncha chess dvds, most of the doctor who dvds / books I can find.
And he already owns a few nice chessboards.
The problem with going all out and buying as many things as possible each year is that you kind of dry up the well of new things.

Make a home made card, crayons must feature, as well as do everything with your non-preferred hand.
Does he get much time to watch Blu Rays (do you guys get Blu Rays or even DVD down there yet?) or does he enjoy a good drink or two?
Maybe tickets to some thing down there: driving or sky diving or something he might like to do that he has never thought of. Bucket list kinda shit.
Makes the recent window shopping of figurines more dangerous >.>
Yes.
What I did was.
Buy W8 pro upgrade for $15.
Install via format, So a clean install. The key wasn't working for some reason, So you then have to run the setup from your usb/dvd of W8 within winodws (Don't boot from it), select upgrade existing system. Throw in your pro key, it works! Let it "upgrade" sweet fuck all and after 10 minutes you have an authentic W8 pro.
So you essentially install windows then upgrade that windows within windows. Yea!
I have both a PS3 and a dedicated bluray player. He's a manager of a bottle shop so... I don't think alcohol is the right route. He's not much of a drinker anyway. Well... I could buy a six pack of Tooheys old.
... yeah I might just buy the half season of the new doctor who and some beer. Good enough. I feel bad because I got a kindle for my birthday.

Anybody cluey with web design, or know an affordable outlet for web design?
Long and short of it, Rocket Chainsaw needs a new front page pretty badly. We're all clueless when it comes to web design and don't really have the time to learn. So we're looking at our options.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

wordpress- then look for a theme and adapt that. so simple an easy to adapt through trial and error. lots of plugins make adding bits easy. almost 0 knowledge necessary to do something clean.
Edit: you might already be using it- get rid of that brown background for starters.
dishonored has finally 'clicked'. I have to go now. I only came here because there appear all of these references to Gaffers in the game reminded me Gaf existed.

Way late but lol windows 8 looks terrible. The design, the controls, oh man just everything about it. I forget who had it installed but is it as hard to use as it looks?
I know, this is awesome!

No room for queers when you've got union men you can slide in.
What happeened?
anti-gay marriage faceless man number 1 spot on the SA senate ticket ahead of Penny wong.
Here's a few problems I noticed with the design itself, although without anyone who can build sites the advice might be kind of useless:
1. The header is way too large, especially when most of it is unused. The logo could be moved somewhere else you'd have much more room for the site's content.
2. The timer for the flashy thing is wwaaaaaayyy too fast. Incredibly distracting. It'd probably be better to not have the thing move at all, and just have a single (randomly picked on page load?) 'top article' kind of thing. Or let the users scroll through themselves.
3. Personal preference, and I'm guilty of this too, but having the maximum width of your page's content be ~700 pixels is pretty jarring for people who fullscreen their browsers. But at that, the webpage is actually too large when you snap it in Windows on a 1080p monitor. But from experience I know making websites scale to whatever resolution the window is can be terrifying.
4. Smaller pictures, more text. Stick in a paragraph or two of writing before hitting the user with a "read more". Probably the easiest thing you can play around with, with no real experience.
Give me 2 more years experience developing websites and I'll help you out. >_> Until then I'm kind of learning by my own mistakes still.

Halloween costume time! I spent the whole afternoon working on this and I'm quite proud of the result. It was a costume for Mrs Squirrel.
Starting conditions:
After two hours of sewing, gluing and cracking a red pen over the result:
And the final outcome:
Awesome.

Hahahaha, VKS, that costume is awesome!!!
Well, there you go. Rang Optus to say I was switching to Internode which was going to save me around $40 on my monthly 'net + phone bill. Optus stepped up to the plate and saved me $45 on those (and I don't have to switch to VOIP and pretty much all the calls we make are free) and then an additional $10 on the mobile bill. So that worked
Oh, and apparently I can triple my cable speed if I get a new modem - I just have to figure how to convince them to give it to me for nothing ;-)
We have one of those and I used it tonight too

It's not Doctor Who, but about the closest kitchen related practical bit of geekiness I can think of is the Enterprise Pizza Cutter.
My mum loved it.
