I need the NBN. Not "want". Not "would be nice." Not "would like the upgrade to my existing broadband." Neeeeeeeeeed, because I only have mobile broadband as an option for internet access.
Having said that as a way of justification, I now utter one of the few phrases I dread... "I fully support markot's previous statement."
Ugh, will I ever feel clean ever again?

JS Joust? YES!!!!!!!!
tthose vids are constantly on tv here:/
Why did you not tell me IU had a KDrama show! Dammit!
Dude, I can't believe you fucking missed that Antichamber has an area there. It's going to be such a mindfuck, I can't wait.
On another note, totally thought of a new costume that won't be a complete bitch to organise. Not exactly unique, but should provide a bit of fun

Dem cosplayers.
lafs grandma!
Yeah similar deal for me going all the way from geelong to melbourne showgrounds. I'm going ask if I can crash at a ausgaffers place on friday night or thursday, because I've already got Saturday covered because of a friends 19th lol.

I cannot stress warm clothes enough. You're going to freeze under even the biggest jackets.
I'm starting to think my costume isn't going to be warm enough. :s
Yeah I've just bought myself a nice thick jacket
but I have a feeling I'll still be freezing going to and from the show. I think the body heat of 20,000 people will keep it toasty warm during the day though.
But now you got me thinking I'll still need more. More!! My poor suitcase
Games I want to check out at PAX
That Android shoot 'em up that's been posted here a few times, that looks sick as hell
Ninja Pizza Girl
Maybe Killer Instinct
Um
Whatever new thing Halfbrick have to show
Any other suggestions?
OH BY THE WAY SPEAKING OF GAMES
New TY The Tasmanian Tiger game on Windows 8 devices July 24, BE THERE BITCHES, Y'ALL KNOW IT'S GONNA BRING IT
and having a nice thick layer of body fat helps ho ho ho

I haven't pre-ordered a PS4 despite really wanting one at launch (just never pulled my finger out).
If I want to pre-order one now with the best chance of actually getting on one release day (whenever that is), what's my best bet (online vs bricks and mortar, particular retail chain, etc.)?

Just by posting that, you've doubled the amount of PR MS Microsoft has put into that game.

Well I'm from Hobart, so I'll be packing shorts and a t-shirt. I can't recommend that.
Don't you float around fountain gate? Cause i'm from around there as well and i'm just staying in a hotel for PAX.
Makes life easier, gives me more time for drinks at night and to just chill around the city if need be. Gets me out of the house as well!
Nah, I'm WAY closer than that. I'm only just out past Malvern. It's not far, but anytime I have to travel by public transport from one side of the CBD to another it's a bitch. May find myself dishing out for some expensive cab rides depending on how late the festivities go.

Is there a way to shares your schedule on Guidebook Android? I'd like to set it up on my tablet and share it to my phone.
Yeah, I'm not surprised at all. From the way the latest podcast ended, it almost sounds like he doesn't know when he'll be up for anything Giantbomb related. It's only been a week, the wounds are way too fresh.
And, in typical form, he can't let that stand without a joke: https://twitter.com/jeffgerstmann/status/355174066212179968

1. IF I CANT BUY BEER BY THE JUG THEN WHAT AM I EVEN DOING THERE
2. Not even remotely close to the show.
To be fair though, I have no idea what kind of stuff, if anything, is around the showgrounds.
That milsims deal looks awesome though.

Isn't Chapel St where all the footballers hang out and beat people up?
I can't keep track of all these streets!
Here we just have one street and one road and we still get around okay!
I just like dumplings okay!
I also like scotch.

Will do! And I'll add Binary Mill to my list of must-stops. Everyone I've spoken to from there has been super nice and I really loved Mini Motor Racing.We'll be right next to Binary Mill and Half Brick at the Horize / Frag Labs booth
Roughly 560ti performance I guess. Up to you if that's good or not.
Sounds alright, but don't you have a 470? I don't know if there will be a huge boost over that.

Oh shit, I didn't think anyone was going to be there! If I get over PAX, I'm just gonna hang with you dudes all weekendWe'll be right next to Binary Mill and Half Brick at the Horize / Frag Labs booth
Pretty much the same. There's a few "stalls" or whatever, but only a small number of presentations I want to see (I think a sound production one, Ron Gilbert) but that's it... no idea what I'll do with the rest of my time.
Yeah best off waiting, 7790 is maybe 10% faster than a 460 I think, depending on the app/game of course.

Flinders Lane, Degraves Street: Heaps of street food and small little joints, so much variety.

Can't recall if I put 'friday night' as my best night for meetups, but if not, that's what's up now

Well, if I can be a shill for a moment, you should totes come down to the trivia event on the Saturday night!
But I'm sorta with you on that - not quite sure what I fully want to see or do. There's definitely a few games I want to play as well as a few presentations I want to catch, but I suppose the rest of my time will be taken up by socializing and stuff.

We definitely were not going to be there, until yesterday when things changed! Horize & Frag Labs are local laptop makers (about an hours drive from where I live) and they offered to showcase the game at their booth on their new range of laptops. Super generous offer and we leapt at the chance
Coincidentally (I swear, we really had no idea at the time) we just purchased a Horize laptop a little over a month ago for use as our portable demo machine and performance benchmark. We make sure the integrated GPU can run the game smooth on lower settings and the dedicated GPU can run the game on maximum settings 1080p 60.
If you're not running at 60fps it's not a true arcade experience!
