Ahaha, nice.

Yes! I love her blog! So funny.

Was driving in the car with mum today, the car infront had a driver and one person in the backseat. Then out of nowhere another head popped up in the backseat. Where did the third head come from?

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone have any good or original video game ideas?

Who could've guessed that the secret to understanding law was to actually sit down and plough through the damn readings?

 

[ClivePwned]

Have to agree with the Rage praise. It's would be a pity if that game brings down id since that's (for me) the best singleplayer thing they've done (in at least a while)

I think BF3 will only last me till mid week. Once I have MW3 in my hands I probably won't feel inclined to play Battlefield.

Giving head.

Also I kinda want to make a Crysis 2 mod that is focused on the player versus an alien invasion with the gameplay a cross between Crysis and Vanquish. Also have a score attack mode in the style of Lumines where you a gigantic beam wall of colour rotates around the level and you are scored on what enemies you kill in groupings. Also another mode where you have warp pads so it is a cross between Vanquish and Sonic.

iD are fine, that Kotaku rumour was bullshit and Bethesda came out and said as much. RAGE is selling okay and its success/failure would have no bearing on Bethesda anyway since they only just bought them recently. Maybe if Doom 4 is a bomba they might find the whip cracking for the first time but they should be fine.

Ancient Egyptian slave rebellion game. Open world w' missions. Acts of sabotage, disobedience, espionage, assassination, rescue, and eventual revolt.

Get the old Pandemic crew together I say. Considering my love for everything Egyptian I would be all for it.

That sounds awesome, I wonder how hard it would be to make something like that in the Crysis Engine (can't for the life of me remember what it's called).

Wasn't there that slave trader mock game thing a few months ago like this ?

 

[Jintor]

CryEngine?

 

[reptilescorpio]

A very intriguing game popped up on GOG this week, called Gangland, that has city building/business management/rts/rpg elements. Very tempted to give it a shot as it sounds really impressive. Anyone played it bfore?

No idea. I'll take anything in Ancient Egypt, though. Tomb Raider, Timelapse, and Serious Sam aren't enough.

The Mummy Monster Game (children's novel, wherein a brother and sister are sucked into a game set in Pharaonic Cairo) made a big impression on me.

Yeah I played it years ago, probably when it first came out. It was a neat little game.

Thats about all I remember about it

That does look cool.

Fans or not, everyone should download this week's episodes of Conan from NYC. Back to the greatness of his Late Show days.

Excuse the dupes, but here's a post from another forum I visit, ripped shamelessly from there, word for word:

http://runt-of-the-web.com/the-sad-world-of-the-misunderstood-house-spider

via Milligna from 4BG and on Twitter. I nearly wet myself laughing at these during work :lol:
(also, I secretly think Jumping Spiders like that one are cute)

I especially love the "Oh yeah, I'm down for a high-five!". Poor spider

 

[Deeku]

OH GOD two consecutive spider posts!

You don't like mummified crickets?

 

[reptilescorpio]

Damn it. Another awesome band who aren't as good any more (ino): Gyroscope. Loved the Midnight Express EP and Sound Shattering Sound. In the course of the last 6 years I have lost the Midnight Express EP. Anyone have a copy?

Cute ones at least!

Wait, that's it's mouth, right?

PS. This is the only album anyone should listen to entitled "Midnight Express".

OZgameshop for me. Later, but half price.

Hooray for Amazon not charging until shipment. Cancelled $40 Saints Row 3 and got it from GMG.

Also selected the "Found it cheaper elsewhere" reason for cancellation.

I was tempted to do it again.

I might go spider hunting tonight to try and get some more cool photos. It's been a while.

Mr Goudkamp said the group would decide whether to continue to permanently occupy Sydney.

"We may have to reassess where we can have a permanent presence or whether we have a more impermanent process and make ourselves more agile in terms of getting more community support," he said.

But the movement lives on, with plans for an international day of action on December 10 and rallies during the Australian Labor Party (ALP) national conference in Sydney next month.
"The ideas are what matters and we are going to keep those alive in the best way we can," Mr Goudkamp said.

I'll assess it for you, knobhead. No chance. Rack off.

 

[Yagharek]

Spiders are poor misunderstood creatures. I rescued one yesterday that had made its home in a pile of clothes in the laundry. Poor little fella.

Is there a BF3 360 mini Aussie community I can join? Playing with randoms leaves me at my wits end.

Well, then I hope the spiders are all too busy at home playing Uncharted 3 instead of being out and about!

Grinding research data in Kairosoft games is pissing me off.

Intellectually I know this. But my heart rate still elevates when I see a big one, and I have to force myself not to kill it. Orb weavers still get killed on sight if they are across the front path.

 

[Danoss]

Orb weavers.

One of the best kinds, you heartless monster.

They're amazing, especially once you see the intricacies of their webs and how they begin making them. Truly remarkable.

The others saw that. And now they bide their time. Sleep tight!

 

[Dead Man]

Bah. Let them build smaller webs, that don't tangle around my fucking head, and we can talk. While they build their webs from steel, across my damn path, they can fuck off.

 

[Deeku]

Getting web around your head and face is the worst feeling ever. I freak the crap out when that happens.

Haha.

I saw coverage of the Occupy Sydney protest. They interviewed one guy who was marching, and he was all "You know I'm just a regular guy, I feel like we represent the 99%".

You don't represent 99% of the population when you're walking around with a Socialist Alliance flag, man.

Not that I'm aware of. If you cared enough to make a platoon I'd join. My GT is SmokyMonk

One of my favourite spiders. They're huge and scary to most, but don't actually do anything to us. They're actually deathly afraid of us and will run away upon close proximity or contact. They're totally approachable though, so they won't leave until you're just about to touch them.

When they do run, it's really cool to see (and quite startling) as they are ridiculously fast. I went up to touch one once and it used silk to bungee off the wall to the ground and then swiftly ran off. I had no idea they could move that quickly until that moment.

The bonus is if they move into your house (aside from the awesome bug-killing skills), they make no mess whatsoever as they don't spin webs. They use their speed to attack prey.
