$150k a year? Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn thats nice money. Just sitting for one term would be more money than I earn in 11 years! That's not even including all the "perks" they get.

Also great work again Gaz, also fixed this for you

Was that for that segment you were interviewed for a while ago?
What are my chances of waltzing into a fine upstanding Australian retailer early January and picking up a PS4 off the shelf, if I am so inclined?

In January? I would expect very high. Sony are aiming to have walk in stock at launch here but I highly doubt that retailers will allow more than a handful, since preorders are so high.
No, I don't think that ever aired.
It was related to a new song being debuted, The Doctor read out my text of utter praise for the music gods that are The Jezabels.
That was basically my point, they have had a number of pay rises since the sackings commenced, it just wreaks of hypocrisy.

BrisGAF, if I have one day in Brisbane (10am-7pm), what are the touristy things to do in Brisbane?
Southbank is nice, take a ride on the citycat, you get to see the sights of the city. The gallery of modern art is worth a visit and is right near Southbank. The city for shopping is just over the river, if that's your bag.
You could take the citycat down to the powerhouse as well, that's a nice setting for lunch. Newfarm park is pretty nice, good place for an afternoon nap.
After that you could head down to the valley, grab a few drinks see a few drug addicts?
I know I'm buying a PS4 to play Destiny, it's just a matter of how long before it comes out that I grab one. I'm on holidays early January and I thought I might jump on one. But I can wait. Not keen to pre-order as I still want to get hardware, controller and game impressions. I'm interested to hear what they are going to have for PS+ customers too.
Lexi, you dig the new Jezabels single? It sounds like their other stuff, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If they do an album tour, we should go see them.
You mean future offerings I guess? We already know what the first round of games are going to be. Basically half of Drive Club, and five indie games.

I recently hit 100kg.
My gut looks like a fucking whale.
I can't even recognise myself in the mirror from the head down.
Work today reminded me why I get home and feel drained as fuck and all I want to do is eat yummy food and consume copious amounts of alcohol.
By the time I feel the motivation rise up to actually exercise or socialise it's 10pm. :/
Maybe now I'm done with GTA5 I will break out those damn Kinect fitness games and try to stay motivated until I can force myself to take up jogging again.
Also you better have a damn good Kickstarter video planned Gaz!

I feel you. I have trained my body to think that relaxing / unwinding = eating nice stuff.
Rep, how long is your lunch break? Can you fit a walk in there?
Personally I find it hard to get in exercise at the end of the night, that's winding down time.
And yes I will do my darndest to make a kick ass video. Just need to pick the right project first Damn my interest in making both games and comics.

Damn my interest in making both games and comics.It's diet time, exercise is great and all but if you want to seriously lose weight you need to start eating a lot better and cut right down on the booze.
Here Rep, have a new A Perfect Circle track.

I hope it's good, wasn't really into their last album! Also they have splintered off into their own projects so my expectations aren't high.
STOP BEING SO DELICIOUS FOOD
The cheese & bacon pullapart loafs from Woolworths just kill me.
At least the damn farmers complaining means the sun will still be up if I can get into my runners!
Yeah that's my issue lol

Nah only half an hour, need that for my GAF/bargain time! I start at 8am too so any exercise will have to wait until 6:30ish when the young lad goes down to sleep.

I concur with everything Stacky said. That area is a high concentration of things to do, so I'd say it's your best bet for the number of hours you have.
That's basically what you need to break. Not may people will go out for a run at 10pm for the same reason (It's 10pm, too late to run! Oh well, I'll just consume these chocolates because their expiration date is this month
in 2015
You need to get your jog on as soon as you get home or first thing in the morning. Wake up and automatically put on your running clothes and get out there before your brain knows what's what. Every minute you push back the exercise the chance of you actually doing anything drops dramatically.
You can do it, reppy!
I know I know I know but alkeyhole makes me happy and relaxed!
If it makes you feel any better I have gotten myself into a rut as well recently. I was good with eating and exercise for a while but due to work and general life pressures I got slack. I have gotten to the point where it's time for drastic measures before shit gets out of control. I am currently at 95KG so not far from you and have decided it's diet time. To that end we (made more sense for both of us to do it to save on cooking etc) have just signed up to lite n easy for lunches and dinners (I usually have oats for breakfast so no need to change that). Our first order gets delivered on Friday and so I start on Saturday, wish me luck
Regarding the booze, I am cutting back to the weekend's only (this was already the case for the most part but now it's a mandate, YES A MANDATE). However I still faced a conundrum, I have a calorie budget of 1700. Lite n easy + breakfast + morning latte hits that budget exactly, SO WHERE DO MY DAMN DRINKS FIT IN THIS EQUATION? Well with the power of math and calorieking.com I worked out that if I change my latte to a regular water coffee (ewww but I will survive) change my oat milk to skim and have half a banana instead of a full one. I can fit in 2-3 drinks, however there is a catch. Those 2-3 drinks cannot be beer (unless I went to those yucky diet types) but instead will have to be spirits with sugar free mix (if I choose to go a mix).
It's a balance, and I am a little scared but I am fairly confident I can pull it off, time will tell :/
The Fast Diet helped me realise how much of a crutch snacking was for me. On days where I was fasting I'd really notice those moments when I really wanted to snack, and then I'd realise it was because I was basically just bored.
I'm not on the Fast Diet any longer as I found it challenging to keep at it in my current job (where I am bored a *lot*). I hope to be changing jobs soon and hopefully that will mean starting it up again.
The bonus with this diet? You don't have to count calories every goddamn day - just the two days of fasting (and most people reduce that to one when they get their weight under control).

Do we know what the 5 indie games for PS+ are going to be? Don't get me wrong, it's not enough to convince me to buy it instantly.
But.....you know......Destiny.

Citycat ride sounds like fun, a half day tour that covers the sights should be good enough. Not much drinking since I'll be driving down to the gold coast that evening. Thanks guys.
I was actually going to fly Cairns to Gold coast directly but decided to have a day in Brisbane on the way.

Main problem is I wake to the strains of "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYY" so I can't really go for a run first up, even sneaking out results in him jumping out of bed due to his super hearing (factory installed on kids so they can hold the title of Parental Moment Killer until they get slow and lazy and enjoy sleep ins once they hit school).
After work I am contractually obligated to spend the time from 4pm until 6:30pm with my wife and son, otherwise I will be hit with the financial burden of divorce! Also I like spending that time with him since my work saps the soul out of me :/
6:30ish worked well back at the start of the year. I just gotta stay positive throughout the day and look forward to the run like I look forward to a glass of scotch at the moment.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
NOW I NEED A XXXX
GREAT WORK GAZ >_<
Yeah the important thing seems to be balancing it so you can keep it up over the long term, not just over a month or two.
Might look at having a bigger breakfast and making dinner smaller.
Resogun is at launch.
Following (or at launch) will be Don't Starve, Outlast, Binding of Isaac: Rebirth & Secret Ponchos. Pretty sure there is one more too.
Also don't forget the F2P games (also most don't need PS+!) Warframe, Planetside 2, DC Universe Online, War Thunder & Blacklight Retribution.

This is a great weight-gain aid
I was so confident before but I'm having real trouble finding the information to backup my statement. I could have sworn when E3 was first announced there were a bunch of games at once, but all the articles I read now seem to suggest they're coming one at a time. They announced Don't Starve, Outlast, and The Secret Ponchos at E3, but by the looks of it the only thing confirmed for the Euro (and thus the AU) PS+ is Resogun. They're promising a game every month after that. So I guess the "five" (read: four, I can't find evidence for a fifth) games are for the US, and it's just two for us.

Yeah Rebirth won't release on any platform until next year some time.
My two biggest problems of recent (one contributes to the other) is not so much what I eat, but how much I eat. Portion control is what I am hoping to get from the pre-made meals. I know I am going to be hungry to start with but it will be worth it in the long run.
whoa! you've posted pics before and you didn't seem like someone that could get that big
granted they were just pics of your head, but still!!maybe you should buy a couple more wiiu's!

Why not travel somewhere exotic and contract a rare virus? That will help you lose weight for only a fraction of the effort it takes to exercise. Tape worm, or even a simple bout of food poisoning will do the trick!

I'm sort of in the same boat by tipping the 92kg scale. I don't want it to go any further and can't get myself motivated to do something. I need to pull my bike out again or get back into sport.
Fly Minter to Australia. Why? Who cares!Rep, how long is your lunch break? Can you fit a walk in there?

PS. Rep, try this. Apologies for the bad audio. Stupid shitty Flanders.
