Support NeoGAF

[BananaArnie]

so this is going to be really out of order

trees my girlfriend got the ticket for me. She seems to like you guys.
Also figured out how to get my account back. Yay for multiple domain names.

YAY
I DONT KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS.
ALSO IMGUR VIEWER IS BACK?!?!?!

Damn, I haven't really used Steam in a while. AusGAF Steam chat is a thing?

the best thing

I kind of became a different person between high school and uni and having a gap year might've been more beneficial in terms of helping sort all that crap out. But then again, maybe not!

like some kind of transforming alien person?

No one Japanese, but one of the big names in the western development world. I think you've probably already met him anyway.

TIM SCHAFER GUYS
ITS TIM SCHAFER

I look at 2012 as a frustrating series of missed opportunities and large scale tactical errors.

2013 is already looking to be incredible.

2011 was my year. 2012 is okay but October in particular has ruined its metacritic rating.

Awesome, more people to practice my rudimentary japanese with

I dont know what year my year was.
ask me on new years how this one has turned out
still not sure if good or bad

Wait..

So..

People actually like Mountain dew?

i do

We don't even sell the normal one anymore. Who the hell wants caffeinated Mountain Dew? yuck.

thats the only one in the us.

Lately I've been having trouble drinking soft drink. Its just way too bubbly

hahah awwww

Stick to water.

I keep collapsing and getting a coke or a sunkist or... fucks up my stomach something bad. I think I'm going to restrict myself:

1) Coke in glass bottles
2) Coke in metal cans that I've put in my goddamn fridge for like 5 days and is nearly but not quite frozen
3) Mixed alcohol drinks

Everything else is water.

some kind of plastic hater?

 

[BananaArnie]

not even 6am and its already 20 outside. still 26 in here.

Another reminder of the SydGAF November meetup times, AKA the Syd Gaf triplets:

• Dinner/Drinks with jambo: Sunday, 11th of November 6:30PM (venue TBD)
• Board Gaming with Holycheck: Sunday, 18th of November 10AM (Clipper's place)
• Dinner/Drinks with shanshan: Friday, 23rd of November 6:30PM (venue TBD)

We'll determine venues by the middle of next week. I'm busy over the rest of this week, so I won't be pushing it as much, but perhaps you all might figure out some good choices in the meantime. Most likely in the Rocks or somewhere else nearby Circular Quay.

If you are interested in any of the events and didn't put your name on the survey for dates yet, please go ahead and do so by clicking here. That way we'll know the final numbers and the form allows you to suggest venues still.

Edit: Just noticed we have a new attendee for jambo's event... Yug! I've updated the Venn diagram of attendees. This is going to be awesome.

 

[Omikron]

So, star wars Disney hey. That is weird and exciting.

 

[reptilescorpio]

I got a card for my birthday. It is a cat dressed like a cowboy. Little guy pisses himself with laughter every time he sees it.

 

[r1chard]

PAX 3-day passes sold out. Cool. Except for my slacker friends who didn't get theirs in time. You lot will be my friends, right?

 

[Rahk]

God, I really hope I get JET after uni. That would be so good. I really don't want to have to do private tutoring crap with dodgy english colleges.

Been thinking about applying for next year too. A month to go before applications close, hmm.

I know a few people that have worked for private schools and they enjoyed it. Probably depends on the school and where you end up though.

 

[hamchan]

Dunno about you guys but I'm pretty excited about Star Wars Episode 7.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

So, star wars Disney hey. That is weird and exciting.

Massive news. Interested to see what they do with it.

 

[Jintor]

Thrawn Trilogy plz

 

[hamchan]

I actually just hope they dump the whole extended universe because that would be hilarious.

 

[Omikron]

Massive news. Interested to see what they do with it.

Disney got a total bargain imo.

 

[codswallop]

PAX 3-day passes sold out. Cool. Except for my slacker friends who didn't get theirs in time. You lot will be my friends, right?

Until they show something resembling a schedule, I'm not interested. I have little doubt it'll be good, but I do like to know what I'm spending my money on.

From the trailer, I was excited about Episode 1. We all know how that worked out.

 

[hamchan]

From the trailer, I was excited about Episode 1. We all know how that worked out.

Lucas won't be directing or writing the new ones, he'll just be 'creative consult'. So that's a positive.

 

[Fusebox]

Holy shit, Dave Callan on Good Game reviewing dance games is cracking me up. What an awesome segment.

 

[jambo]

So, star wars Disney hey. That is weird and exciting.

Excited, but also a little bit worried. I'm mostly just still in shock to be honest...

Thrawn Trilogy plz

That would be amazing. I really hope they do use some of the EU material for the films. Nothing crazy, but a lot of the basic plot has already been laid out and isn't known by that many people.

PAX 3-day passes sold out. Cool. Except for my slacker friends who didn't get theirs in time. You lot will be my friends, right?

Shit, I still need to buy tickets. Most likely getting a couple of Saturday badges for myself and the missus.

 

[Omikron]

Indy reboot.

 

[Planet_JASE]

Disney got a total bargain imo.

Yep. They'll make a lot their money back by releasing the classic versions of the Original Trilogy on Blu-ray and DVD.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Thrawn Trilogy plz

This could work great. In any case Lucas isn't involved so that at the very least is a great start! Disney have done a great job with movies lately.

PAX 3-day passes sold out. Cool. Except for my slacker friends who didn't get theirs in time. You lot will be my friends, right?

We can hang out!

Until they show something resembling a schedule, I'm not interested. I have little doubt it'll be good, but I do like to know what I'm spending my money on.

No hang out for Cod!

 

[Planet_JASE]

Holy shit. I just realized that Disneyland will now have Star Wars in it.


Edit: and Marvel!!

 

[codswallop]

They already do?

 

[Jintor]

You know what this means? Avengers vs Jedi

 

[Planet_JASE]

They already do?

Really? I visited Disneyland about 4 years ago and I can't recall seeing any Star Wars related stuff...

 

[codswallop]

I visited Euro Disneyland in 2007 which I assume has most of the same rides, but with more pretense and smaller drinks.

Star Tours was the name of the ride (I know one of the US ones has it, not sure whether -land or -world), heaps of Mickey dressed as a jedi figures, etc.

Linky

 

[Planet_JASE]

Huh. I had no idea. Thanks for that.

Well, at the very least it means that they can be far more overt about Star Wars properties and integrate them more into everything.

JarJar in the midday parade, anyone?

OH YEAH!!

 

[hamchan]

So I can see Marvel taking over the Star Wars comics now.

 

[FallbackPants]

More Star Wars is cool and all but HOLY SHIT SCOTT PRINCE TO THE BRONCOS maybe!

 

[reptilescorpio]

$6.66 discount for any $30 item at OzGameShop.

Makes the 12 month XBL Gold email code $40!

 

[Jintor]

Gary Whitta knows about Star Wars at Disneyworld

 

[r1chard]

Star Tours was the name of the ride (I know one of the US ones has it, not sure whether -land or -world), heaps of Mickey dressed as a jedi figures, etc.

Yep, we were at Disneyland in April and Star Tours was awesome. They have some other Star Wars themed stuff as well in the park - just not rides. The Jedi academy is great fun and there's a somewhat famous youtube clip of it.

 

[Johnny Dazzle]

You know what this means? Avengers vs Jedi

I think a group of Jedi would win, no contest.

 

[Planet_JASE]

You cray-cray.

 

[Fredescu]

HOLY SHIT SCOTT PRINCE TO THE BRONCOS maybe!

If you guys get him I take back everything I said about the Broncos not making the 8. Here's hoping he goes back to the Tigers!

 

[Stackboy]

Things that happened since I bought those Radiohead tickets

- Went to NYC, Boston and Washington
- Got an awesome girlfriend
- Swans won the premiership

I think 2012 is my best year ever.

The first one happened to me too, but not the other two.

It's weird that this Lucasfilm buyout from Disney has inadvertently brought about the announcement of Episode 7. What a weird day.

Meanwhile, AC3 to be picked up this arvo and NFS:MW tomorrow. I'm hearing the SP ain't great, but the MP is. I am still pleased. VIDEO. GAMES.

Forza Horizon is still surprising me at how good it is.

 

[FallbackPants]

It's a short term fix which is a bit concerning but Prince on his downward slope is better than Corey Norman.

 

[jambo]

It's weird that this Lucasfilm buyout from Disney has inadvertently brought about the announcement of Episode 7. What a weird day.

I always knew it would happen eventually, but it's still weird to be living in a world where Star Wars Episode 7 has been announced.

Next thing you know, Half-Life 3 will be announced...

 

[Omikron]

IT is really nice to want things.

 

[DualShadow]

Work is going so slow today, just want to get home and play some AC3!

 

[Rubixcuba]

Has anyone else here bought tickets to the Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses?

 

[jambo]

IT is really nice to want things.

Believe

Spoiler

=[

 

[Johnny Dazzle]

You cray-cray.

You just need to believe in The Force

I always knew it would happen eventually, but it's still weird to be living in a world where Star Wars Episode 7 has been announced.

Next thing you know, Half-Life 3 will be announced...

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the new trilogy. As for Half Life 3, that'll be announced when pigs fly.

 

[hamchan]

Hulk smash puny Jedi.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Iron Man consumed by the Sarlacc.

 

[Fredescu]

Iron Man consumed by the Sarlacc.

Classic Iron Man.

 

[r1chard]

They need to buy DC next so we can have Superman vs. Darth Vader.

 

[markot]

COMMUNITY IS COMING BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!

In february >_<

 

[teekun]

I predict it will be terrible and not be renewed for a 5th season

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

I predict it will be terrible and not be renewed for a 5th season

we can only hope. but then itll get the firefly thing of obsessive fans. OHWAIT.

i really fell out of love with that show

 

[teekun]

I want Community to still be good, it just doesn't look good.
Of course, maybe now that Harmon's out of the picture they won't even try to make it so meta anymore and we'll just get a solid sitcom out of it.
