Yep. They were also doing decently priced cartons of Leffe the other day. Too bad they don't sell booze in QLD.
I can totally see how you could dislike it. It's a unique flavour, no doubt. I think it's wonderful.
That deal is over, well it was full price when I was there 10 minutes ago. Just picked up a case of Fat Yak, Hollandia (for a cheap arse beer it's really not bad), a bottle of Glenlivet and a bottle of some new bourbon (forget the name) I thought I would try.

Damn, you're right. I just checked the website.
The weird thing is they advertise lesser deals, but this was never advertised as a special online or through any brouchers. Gotta keep an eye on their prices to catch deals like that.
I don't mind the taste, but it is very heavy. One bottle is more than enough.

I think you're right. Which is not good, because you used to be able to get them for about $80, mostly due to the help of the all ighty ollar. I checked the usual suspects (OGS, superufo, Amazon) and their prices all came out above $100.
Sorry, dude.
Edit: Click this if you feel like paying $176.95 for one. As well as $9.95 for shipping.
Propietary storage needs to fuck off, $100 for 32GB is the BEST price?

When you compare it to $176.95 + $9.95 postage and handling it's an AWESOME price!
No, it's still shit, it's just not diarrhea.
This is the best thing ever

So far the cpu hasn't cracked 60 degrees, haven't done a long run of the torture test yet.

Is that using The Bristol Stool Scale or your own?
It's my own scale, it is useful for detecting when you have painful items inserted into your rectum without you asking for it.

I'm surprised you've ever had such a situation occur.
The stories I could tell. I was in the US military you know.

It was more referring to the "without you asking for it."
There is a time and a place for all things, sometimes people don't respect that.
and it's not necessarily everyone's place to come to Dead Man's butt.
Exactly. I have standards.
Hey guys I just have a quick question.
Amazon have just told me that they won't ship my PS4 to Australia, but have said I can get it sent to a service such as hopshopgo. So I ordered and put the address given to me by them.
Has anybody had any experience ordering with hopshopgo? Are they reliable and safe? Shipping prices ok or just any feedback or a better company out there. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

http://www.shipito.com/ are a popular option. No idea if they're better or worse than hopshopgo.

Amazon US or EU? Did they give you a reason? I have a PS4 pre-order from Amazon US too.
Amazon US. My CC was expiring so I changed the card number. Because its in their system now as does not ship outside the US, once I updated my CC info it automatically cancelled my order, as it does not ship outside the US. If I would have left it alone, which I obviously could not otherwise I couldn't pay for it, it would have been fine.
I have pre ordered items before that after ordering had changed to ships only to US, and I always got them no worries. But because of what I did it was gone. I ordered a new one anyway, went for Knack bundle but hoping Hopshopgo don't stuff me around.

Ah bad timing. Amazon's $25 priority delivery sure is convenient.
Ahhh it's alright. At least I didn't *just* miss out on that price by a week or some shit. Having said that, DSE is low on stock pretty much everywhere, so I'll have to get it delivered (free, thankfully) from them. Guessing they'll either stop selling them or jack up the price once a new shipment hits.
Fucking joke, right? Price you pay for using your own HDD in a PS3/4, I guess. Reminds me of the days of X360 memory cards. Lolz.
So what is it... did you live in the US then move to Adelaide, or do you have standards?
That explains your comics, then.

Was terrible I was so pissed. I ripped up amazon but nothing they could do. Now I have gone from $25 4 day shipping to like $140 shipping : (
I even rung 4 EBs around me to see if I could get a launch day unit and they all said no. Oh well. It is what it is. I now just hope this hop shop go don't stuff me around.

Try using Intel Burn Test, it will push your CPU harder than Prime will.
Cheers, I'll give that run as well.
Yeah, it's crazy.
I thought we were friends, man

So what is it... are you friends with Shaneus or do you have standards?I thought we were friends, man
Bahahahaha!
Okay, 10 cycles of Burn Test, all stable, max temp was 55c. I think I might have bought more cooler than I need. Oh well.

If you aren't going to OC your CPU then an after market cooler will be overkill. But you went with the K model (3570k) and you have a 212 heatsink, so if I was you I would OC it. It literally is changing a few values in the Bios settings for a 30-40% gain in some cases. There are some great online vids and everything. You could run a slight OC (4.0ghz) and and get like a 20% performance boost.
Really? Maybe I will check it out.
Fucking WOW.
I should be upset, but...
Fuck, you're talking about day-one PS4s, yeah? Damnit. I wanted one then, too
I have a similar heatsink (except mine's "Macho") and I can easily get 4.9GHz @ 1.44v stable on my 2500k. Without upping the voltage (or barely touching it) I think I was able to at least get 4.5GHz. Even stock, I have a feeling you might be able to get ~4.2 with no adjustments at all (but double check that first!).

Rev3 are quickly filling my Red Letter Media style gaming video niche. Really enjoyable, knowledgeable people to listen to that I pretty much always agree with.
I went to a few of them soley to get into the discussion group afterwards with a mate of mine. They had wine at their meetings. Totally worth it.
Well mine was a refurb so I don't count

That sounds more like a free seminar/lecture event thingly that's open to anyone in the facility than a actual lecture. I've been to a few of those myself. They had free wine too!

Nah it was a mate of mine who was doing World Religions unit and through that he found out the lecturer and a few students had a discussion group in one of the tutorial rooms at like 4:30pm on a Wednesday before happies down the Ponds so we could 'give our opinion' on religious topics that I had no idea about while getting shit faced on free cheap wine before rolling down the hill to the Ponds for cheap beers before crawling back up the hill to Caf for our free Resi meals. So good.

Thanks for that, Holy.
Regardless of how unlikely, I'm always nervous that there is a possibility that I'll run into Shaneus in Brisbane. You've put my mind at ease, at least for today.
If enough people feel the same way, I'm willing to start up a Shaneus Watch, just so we can all feel better. We can let each other know of possible sightings and therefore Red Zones that we should try to avoid.
Obviously the goal of the group would be ultimately to raise enough money to tag him with a GPS device.
