Support NeoGAF

[Fredescu]

...everywhere I've looked says you can't upgrade from a 32-bit system to a 64-bit system, it needs to be a clean install.

That's the install. You don't need to install the 32bit OS first. You just show the install the 32bit disk and you can do a clean install of the 64bit upgrade edition OS.

Damn, fred, where were you earlier tonight? :<

I'll try this out tommorrow

Think it should work off an install file from the site instead of a dvd?

Oh, by the way:

You and reptile can both fuck off and have something unpleasant happen to you! Disappointment by your description of the product. That is not to say that your description was lacking but the materials that you described were of a lower grade than what would have been expected.

Come on dude! Only $38! Won't get much cheaper than that!

Hmmmm... maybe I will pick it up...

Might hit $28 in another 6 months time

Way to support your previous statement! Pffffft, idiot! Order cancelled!

but it just dropped from around $50 to $38

That's what I like to hear.

so you might as well bite while there aren't any big releases for a few weeks!

Seriously, though, I'm going to wait. I'm actually at that stage in my backlog where it doesn't make sense to buy anything unless it is super-duper-so-sweet-you-cannah-resist-that-price price. I've bought multiple games at around $40 that have then dropped to around $20 and I'm still nowhere near to playing them. There may be a time where I'm ready to buy it and I find that it's out of print or become super-rare. At that stage I'll hopefully just shrug my shoulders and just pick another game off of the neverending backlog.

Nothing against the game, it's just that I need to start playing the games I've already paid for I start buying more (unless I see a super-duper-so-sweet-you-cannah-resist-that-price price). I'm so committed to this that I'm not even buying the Ico/Shadow collection yet. I still haven't played the Sly one that i got a year ago, so...

Also I got Bastion before you and I ordered after you, bahahahahha!

I didn't need another reason to despise you...

[Choc]

haha i knew HOTD would get through on appeal

the ban was so flimsy when you read the report

 

[Shaneus]

Well, shit. Despite my relatively solid "backlog" reasoning for skipping SotD (for now) I'm still tempted to buy ODST and Shadow and the Colossus/Ico pack. WTF is wrong with me?

Rhetorical question. Nobody (especially Vince, reptile or Jase) answer that.

Ps. Totally rocking out to "Together in Electric Dreams" on the train to work. So sue me.

 

[Gazunta]

Clive nope it's not a game I'm working with, I am just HYYYYYYYPE for UMvC3.

Going through my traffic stats for the month, I find that comics featuring girls with big boobs are popular on the internet. Oh well time to draw more Presidog then!

 

[Planet_JASE]

Fixed.

Stay strong. Together we can not buy Ico/Shadow together!

Damn work. Back to the grindstone so fast.


Edit: Anyone listened to Grace for Drowning by Steven Wilson yet?

Edit2: Why you no let me track my order anymore Amazon. FFS. Doesn't appear in any of my order history.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Damn you AusGaf, these Kookas are an overkill.

 

[evlcookie]

The red cross are out in force today to try and get some monthly donations for kids without breakfast or some shit.

They got me for $20 a month. I realized after that it is tax deductible so that should help me reduce the cost I owe the tax dept every year I earn interest. Hopefully will come in handy for next years tax.

So watch out if you dont want to give out any cash. These were at the train station.

Think of the children!

 

[Shaneus]

Stay strong. Together we can not buy Ico/Shadow together!

So I can buy Odious Tea then? Sweet.

 

[Planet_JASE]

So I can buy Odious Tea then? Sweet.

Only if I can buy Arkham City.

 

[Shaneus]

Only if I can buy Arkham City.

Big difference. Mine's only $29 at EB (or $39 if I buy second hand).

But yeah, sure. Whatever. Go for your life.

How attractive was the girl who asked you? Must have been a stunner.

 

[evlcookie]

Haha, Na she wasn't all that amazing. I've never donated so why not do it and then claim it back as tax, Fuck yea.

I'm terrible at talking about myself though. She was like, so what's your hobbies and I go, Um just a nerd, gamer guy. So what games are you playing, ah yea stuff. That was about as deep and awesome as the conversation got apart from her trying to sell me shit.

Does anyone else here have difficulty in talking about what the heck they are actually into hobby wise? Or do you skip over it most of the time and try talk about something else ?

 

[Choc]

aching all over feel like my stomach is doing summersaults

sigh


also

walked past kookas yesterday and almost purchased htem, maybe next time

 

[fappenmeister]

Not really, I go into detail if they seem genuinely interested, if it's stupid small talk then I am a brick wall. Or I get indignant when they ask in a condescending manner and start providing sarcastic or stupid comments of my own.

Case in point, someone asked what tshirt I was wearing in an annoying manner, so I replied that it was a country bebop band and walked off.

 

[Gazunta]

If you bought kookas you wouldn't be feeling sick today.

I donate $15/month to them from a few years back. But damnit, she was kinda cute and had a cute English/Irish-hybrid accent.

I'm not made of stone!

 

[codswallop]

Disappointed that Galaxy S 2 didn't make the Catch of the Day thing that I'll never be able to get anyway.

 

[Choc]

"I'm a very happy little vegemite being Prime Minister ... being Foreign Minister of Australia," he told ABC Central West in Orange, NSW, today.

"You've caught me getting off the plane, jet lag."

You can buy it for $500 as it is.

 

[codswallop]

I would love to see that happen, but I very much doubt it.

 

[Choc]

ausgaf is not good for waist lines, especially thanks to fap

sounds aight

 

[Jintor]

So I realised that that 20gb ssd that came inbuilt on my motherboard was too small to hold a 64-bit Windows 7 OS anyway, so I'll go get a proper SSD before I updgrade I guess.

In the meantime, install everything on the HDD, woo

 

[codswallop]

From where? Best I can find is $560 and that's from somewhere I've never heard of. Most places are $600+

[Kritz]

It's been 16 hours since the last breaking bad episode and I still can't stop thinking about it. Shit be fucking crazy. People not watching this show need to be. Best television since The Wire.

 

[Choc]

so the two new iphones are out next week

hmm

 

[evlcookie]

Mine was english as well!

Going into any detail, Even great about what i'm playing makes me feel really fucking uneasy, like I shouldn't be doing this. Ashamed of what I am and what i'm interested in I guess is the best way to put it. If only i knew how to play guitar I could just turn around and be like, Oh yea i love to shred baby woo! Instead of, I love to play team fortress 2 on the weekends baby, yea!

Also that uncharted footage looked pretty darn good. Guess i will have to pre-order from that ozgame as well.

It really is gaming season, what can I hold out for ack!

 

[Kritz]

Disregard bitches, acquire tf2 hats.

My wife insisted we buy Super Mario Kart from Super Potato in Akihabara, but then refused to spend the extra couple of bucks to get it boxed with the manual.

Ahh OK. For some reason I can't bring myself to make large-ish purchases over eBay.

I always had a feeling you were a superior being, this confirms that feeling. I wanna high five you so hard right now.

wat

 

[Gazunta]

CTR is the best kart racer of that generation no two ways about it.

I also highly, highly recommend Muppet Kart Racing by Traveller's Tales, which came out at the very tail end of the PS1's life cycle and nobody gave a shit about PS1 games any more. It was really well done and friendly and full of Muppetty goodness. I ended up basing a lot of how the dialogue works in Piñata Party Animals on it.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/new...et-lag-for-gaffe/story-fn3dxity-1226147562235

FOREIGN Minister Kevin Rudd has blamed jet lag for an unfortunate gaffe during a radio interview.

"I'm a very happy little vegemite being Prime Minister ... being Foreign Minister of Australia," he told ABC Central West in Orange, NSW, today.

"You've caught me getting off the plane, jet lag."

There has been speculation Mr Rudd is planning a leadership bid amid dire opinion polling of Prime Minister Julia Gillard's performance.

Mr Rudd said he "fully supported the prime minister" but did not use Ms Gillard's name.

The former prime minister will visit Condobolin in central western NSW today to attend an indigenous event.

Amazing. What a gaf

My Dark Side of the Moon Immersion box set finally came today.

Fapp, Fogz, you guys have to get this shit. It's amazing!

 

[roosters93]

so the two new iphones are out next week

hmm

says who?

There's going to be an announcement on October 4 (and that's still just a rumour, no confirmation) so it won't be out for a few weeks after that.

 

[evlcookie]

Yea the phones won't be out next week, The announcement should be and that's about it. I would expect the phones to land mid to late october unless something goes wrong.

Everyone is taking an expression of interest like that vodaphone link choc posted yesterday.
