Bought! I loved Looney Tunes as a kid!
An Amazon product description makes it sound like it needs to use the cloud to run.

Edited my post to add the region information.
Apologies to anyone for any confusion.
Also, who isn't ripping their discs and converting them to digital files? C'mon, peeps.

My PS3 is plugged in to the big TV out the back so it's pretty easy to grab a DVD or Blu and just chuck it in.
Plus we have hundreds of DVDs and Blus, would be an insane amount of HDDs.
If anyone here is an animation fan or just enjoys old Warner Brother Animation, this may interest you:
Looney Tunes - The Complete Golden Collection (Volumes 1-6)
24 discs of old Warner Brothers goodness for $15 shipped. 15 dollaridoo. Shipped. 356 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies made between 1930-1968. 15 quid.
Bargain.
Edit:
Region: Region 2 (This DVD may not be viewable outside Europe. Read more about DVD formats.)
Thanks for the reminder, rep. My player is region free plus I usually rip my disc and convert them to watch. Sorry to anyone for any confusion
Does it include all the racist ones?

Life's too short. I've been collecting DVD's and Blurays since 1999. I tried but got maybe 30% of the way
In the third pic there are a bunch of black boxes. Each of them has a double sided slip case on a rail (like a mini filing cabinet) with up to 80 discs in each box. These are all my DVD box sets of shows that I either don't collect any more, have the full set, but don't watch very often (ie once every 10 years). This is full of stuff like Seinfeld, Red Dwarf, Mission Impossible, lots of old stuff (because most of its better than the new stuff)
It would be a full time job. And I don't have one of those and it would still take too much time.

After reading that I assume they're not on this alleged "complete" collection.

I gave up ripping Seinfeld and just grabbed torrents. Takes way too fucking long!
We don't have a DVD player in the house aside from my PS3/360 lol run the boys stuff off USB or Plex. Future!

Yeah, I know how that feels, mate. I have to reorganise my collection soon, bought a new cabinet to do so ages ago, but just getting the time is the tricky part. Here's how my stuff looked as of early 2011:
I've since bought another one of the set of shelves and have filled it with various stuff, including board game boxes and mixed mes, DVDs and Blu-Rays. One of these days I will get around to sorting it all to be as neat as it used to be...

Feeling quite antsy this morning. Unmotivated, easy to distract and unable to focus on anything for more than a few minutes at a time.
This state of mind comes and goes, but when I get it, it's like my productivity plummets.
Also, gaming GAF is awful. How is it that I was so entertained by it for such a long while?

I talked to a counsellor through my work's EAP about the distraction thing. She thought it might be related to my sleep patterns, diet exercise etc., especially with me being a new dad. I told her I'd try to adjust my lifestyle and get exercise during my lunch hours for a while and make a follow up appointment.
Still haven't done that. Making the appointment, I mean. I've been jogging along the river and catching naps when I can.

Ugh. Did another points order this morning with a fresh account, fresh Paypal. Already cancelled.
FMLuck
Although my focus was fucked the last 3 weeks due to no sleep, so it is most likely that. Last 2 night the boy has slept through so I feel a million fucking dollars today and got more work done between 8am - 9am than I usually do in a whole day!

Do you drink coffee? My focus has been a lot better at work since switching to tea.

Oh shit Hulu+ just accepted my Mastercard!
Historically Hulu+ has never accepted any non-US credit card or paypal account and I had to account share off GAFfers but the GAFfer I was sharing with let the account lapse and now he isn't around anymore, so I gave my own account a try as a long shot and for some reason it now works!
Game changer.

I drink coffee, but not every day. Usually, I use it to get me through the morning as I'm never quite awake before 10am otherwise.
Not sure if worth it. I'm mostly happy with just Netflix, even if it doesn't have newer stuff.
I would, however, love HBO Go. I love living in a world where a company has content I want to purchase and they refuse to sell it to me.

Samurai Pizza Cats plz
Yeah HBO Go would be the final piece of the puzzle for me, but as it is Netflix and Hulu+ is the awesome combo. Netflix for movies, full series and older shows. Hulu+ for latest eps of Daily Show, Colbert, Hells Kitchen, Family Guy, Parks and Rec, Community etc.
Outstanding.
LOL
Bought. Now is when the $40 kmart dvd player pays for itself.If anyone here is an animation fan or just enjoys old Warner Brother Animation, this may interest you:

I got rid of all my DVDs/blurays/music CDs etc. at the start of the year. Liberating. And after signing up to mog (spotify ripoff) I'm half tempted to delete all my music.
I stupidly paid by cc so I have no idea where I stand.
though I did keep my Simpsons boxsets.

Wouldn't let me do that sadly, I expect you are morel likely to get through with a direct payment rather than Paypal.
Nope, they are pretty hardcore about taking down anything in decent quality too on the internet.

I've pretty well been doing the same, except at the start of the year when I noticed all three Arrested Development seasons on sale for $30. Sold. I already had all of them on my computer but it was still worth it
It is ok, it was terrible joke anyway.

Taco mix was disappointing :/, so no pics. Nothing wrong with the texture and tasted fine, but was totally devoid of all the spice and flavouring I put in. Consistency was right on, but it was boring. I'll have to double or triple everything next time. There was a nice, subtle chilli heat stoking the flavours which was about the only thing I got right, and even then I wanted it far hotter.
Speaking of hot, this sauce is incredible.
And by incredible I mean inevitable diarrhoea.

Interesting.
I don't think I have the time to actually subscribe since I've got more than enough to watch on Netflix. Does Hulu do a free trial?

Did you by any chance put more meat than usual but with the same amount of spices.
also, did you put the spices in when you first started cooking the meat?
I've had occasions where I have made come curries but added more veg, but not more curry simmer sauce and the end result is blander than I'd like.
just checking.
also. Salt.
other than that, carry on.
also premium double length Kleenex

I've had that sauce, it is wonderful. I've only ever had it at the pub, I should really find some when shopping. Easily the best hot sauce I've ever had.

I think you're right - too much meat-to-spice ratio. Put the spices in first, fried them briefly with the onion, garlic, and chili, then the meat, then the beans, and let it simmer in the oven hotpot for about six hours (took the lid off for the last hour to reduce the liquid). I blame the ratio. The meat tasted fine, and the texture was good, and there was definitely an underscore of chilli heat throughout. But it definitely needed more cumin and hot paprika, and maybe twice the chilli and garlic.
Are you in Melbourne? There's a supermarket in Heidelberg that sells it, along with the less spicy green and red variants. If you want I can get you some and mail it your way, if you're interstate or out of reach.
Lexi how much on average do you think your Netflix watching downloads? Just curious.
Yep, Plus still has ads but the best thing about Plus for me is being able to use it directly on PS3 and iOS.
Also if you're used to Foxtel or Aussie FTA ads the Hulu ads are NOTHING by comparison. They're barely a blip on the radar.
- They're short, and there's a countdown timer telling you exactly when the show will start/resume. usually no more than 60 seconds.
- They're much quieter than the actual show, as opposed to Aus TV ads which have me diving for the remote late at night to turn them down, I often have to turn Hulu ads up if they look interesting.
- They're usually ads for games, movies, shows and when they aren't they're at least usually funny or really slick. None of this Barrys Bargain Bricks local warehouse yelling shit at you, think more Superbowl halftime ads.
- Lately I've seen a lot of shows that let you choose from the start between having regular ad breaks or watching a 2 minute movie preview or something similar before the show instead and then getting the whole show ad free after that.
Yep 7 days free but iirr it will autorenew so remember to cancel on the 7th day if you don't like it.
I am in Sydney. I did find a place in North Rocks that sells the stuff for $5 a bottle. Postage is $10, but luckily it's not too far from my house. It's here at Fireworks Foods, that place looks like heaven for spicy food lovers.
Thanks for the offer, if I don't have much luck with them I'll definitely take you up on it.

It's just shy of $5 for a bottle in store here too. But yeah, let me know. Happy to grab you whatever you want and mail it your way.
While we're all posting pictures of physical media, here's my progress approximately 6 months after I've picked up board games as a hobby:
It's not much of a collection, but it's getting there.
Agricola, Puerto Rico, Carcassonne + Inns and Cathedrals, Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Battlestar Galactica, Munchkin, King of Tokyo, Galaxy Trucker, Game of Thrones Card Game, as well as the game that got me into the hobby - Zombies!!! + mall expansion.
And Cards Against Humanity because where else am I going to put it.
So far my favourite is Carcassonne - I think the art is gorgeous, the game is incredibly simple to teach, and I find the tile and meeple placement systems to be incredibly engaging and strategic even though there's a whole lot of luck involved.
I've only played it a few times so far, but I'm also really enjoying Puerto Rico, perhaps even more than Agricola.

That kind of advertising warms the cockles of my dead heart
I couldn't say. It must account for a bit cause I watch a lot of it. I have a 500gb plan that counts uploads and at the end of the month I've only used 140gb.
That's pretty serious when you have a 200 gig plan and share it with 2 other people.
If Netflix officially launched in Oz and was unmetered on iinet, I would jump in.
