Another good night of L4D2 tonight 8)
Took us a while to get through the ending of Parish, Jambo decided after I picked him up from a ledge he would fall down again. I left him behind.

I would love to be a fly in the wall in the VO recording sessions when Keifer has to read the script
why stop at one?

After discovering that the documentary Chasing Ice was available the other day, I grabbed it and was able to sit down tonight to watch it.
It documents a photographer's (James Balog) vision and effort to document the effect global warming is having on some of Earth's glaciers and ice sheets. Some of you may have seen a previous TED talk he has given or something to that effect, but this is the first time I have seen anything like it.
I know AusGAF is full to the brim with intelligent people and none of you need any convincing that global warming is a reality. This shows how devastating the effect really is and I cannot put it into words, it's something you'll have to see for yourself; even that doesn't seem like enough given that they have to explain the scale of the damage taking place before your eyes on screen.
I would call what I saw upsetting because that's how I felt watching it, but that hardly does it any justice. You can look at all the facts and figures and think "yeah, it's pretty bad", and then you see this. It's fucked. You should watch it.

Man, I thought it was going to be about a day in the life of a typical Geelong adolescent with a title like that :/

You guys know that jamón is just the Spanish word for ham, right? I keep reading the thread thinking I've stumbled on a family reunion.
Me da asco el jamón. Mi madre me mandaba a la escuela cada día con sandwich de jamón y queso para almuerzo en mi bolsón. En terminos de productos de carne preservada, prefiero mucho más los chorizos.

Yeah, I know jamón is ham, but it just feels right this way. Saw a mistranslated menu yesterday that said a soup had jam, which was fun.
¿Sandwich? ¡Bocadillo!
That's all I understood really, well, jamón, queso, chorizo, preservada, products, carne... quite a few words really. I punched it into Google Translate, like I've been doing with all three menus in Spain, so I kind of got the gist (chorizo probably is better).
HHHHNNNGGGGNNNNNNN I WILL PAY ANY AND ALL MONIES FOR THAT SHIRTHey Gazunta... here's a photo taken from an upcoming Jimmy Fallon episode during "video games week":
The logo on that t-shirt looks miiiighty familiar
Well I need one about five sizes up from that but still
Had some good fun last night with AusGAF L4D2!
Killed a lot of zombies, and did the final bridge run of Parish about 5 times before finishing it with only 2 survivors.
Megadrive went a little bit crazy with the chainsaw...
Loving the custom gun models from the Workshop, especially the ones by Doktor Haus
Lots and lots of dead zombies
But we didn't make it

Found a bar in Seville that has Westvleteren XII. Didn't buy it (15 euros a bottle) but damn if I wasn't tempted. Instead i tried a few other beers on my list. The bar was recommended to me in the beer GAF thread. I expect to see it in Belgium for 6-8 euros a bottle, but there's no guarantee since it's incredibly hard to get. The wife said she was OK with me getting it tonight but I decided to wait a couple of days.
Ah hell I'll probably go back tomorrow, cost be damned.

Would still love to be playing L4D2.
Need more screencaps of my 38% accuracy 12% headshots from The Passing game 8)
Yer, adrenaline is gold at that point.

I always thought Jamon was made from a special type of black pig raised on a diet of acorns from birth. Or is that just the Iberico Jamon or something. That's the good stuff.

I don't know what the site they mentioned in that article is like, but Unblock-US is great because it allows you to select which region Netflix you want to be allowed to go to (either UK or US) amongst other sites. I use it when I want to watch the F1 live via BBC, it's rad as hell.

I usually rock the M4 or AK47 so my shots will be a bit more sprayed than with a shotgun. Pistols tend to be a spam weapon for me too lol.
I'm up for more tonight, just not so late this time!

No chance tonight, WCQ tonight!
7.30pm kick off, or 8.30pm if you want to watch on SBS!
I'm sure most of the Gillard Vs Rudd stuff actually comes from Labor MPs themselves. The media whip it up, but it does actually come from somewhere and has a basis in reality.
Probably a moot point now, but over the last 24 hours a bunch of new places have been added to the NBN rollout schedule. You can check here: http://nbnco.com.au/when-do-i-get-it/rollout-map.html
I don't doubt there are probably a few MPs who aren't happy with the leadership, but the media treat every single murmur as a news story worth covering. Ever since the first attempted coup by Rudd, leadership takeovers have been the narrative of choice for covering Labor politics.
As a general rule, the media needs to stop covering rumours and speculation and get back to covering actual policy.
I definitely plan to watch it, but I really have to be in the right mood to watch these things or I end up just getting depressed rather than angry. Angry is better!

I really hate the overwrought analogies and metaphors, games journalism has been getting steadily worse with this shit.
Can't say I'm not tempted. I have GOT to stop spending money, goddamn. My Macbook Air will be arriving in the next few days.

This post doesn't disappoint:
Not quite the best use of the reference, but still... kudos to him.
Man, that day one cheevo really isn't working out as well for them as they thought, is it?
4-hours into The Last of Us. I'm genuinely impressed, the narrative and atmosphere reminds me a lot of Children of Men which is a VERY good thing. The gameplay is also fun, and impressive in how Joel actually controls like a everyman unlike Nathan Drake, although like the Uncharted series, I'm not so sure if this is going lend itself to multiple playthroughs. Good thing I'm only renting it in this case, should end up being one hell of a experience.

The meaning of bocadillo might be different in Spain. To me, the word mean's "morsel" or "snack", even "finger food".
Hey, Bernardi is back.
