Hey Kent, as an Ian Brown fan, have you heard the stuff he did with UNKLE? This track is so epic:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lEi0KolscM

This was after DJ Shadow left, so it's just James Lavelle, but it's one of the highlights of Never Never Land. Pysence Fiction, UNKLE's first album is basically DJ Shadow leading production, and is just amazing, like seriously good.

Fuck it, I'm linking two of my favourite track from that album too:

Edit: sorry for the rough quality, it's the only version I could find!

I feel like these two songs sum up Northern and Southern GAF

Northern GAF
Southern/London GAF

i've spoken to cold hotman about this and he agrees - they really capture the difference in attitudes.

The R4 looks sexeh.

 

[Chinner]

yeah its the same sculpt of the r3, but they've done some really key refinements on it.

How much does that come to? I'm thinking of getting a new pc, not sure whether to go for a laptop or not as it'll be more expensive but a lot more convenient (don't have a desk).

Just shy of two grand

Very roughly £1.8k, I'm buying pre-built though due to my disability.

 

[Darren870]

It's an induction..so it's casual, basically if they like me they'll give me a second interview and i have to wear a suit and shit to that

It's for a job in customer service
or marketing

..or sales, however i made it pretty clear (without being rude) that that particular area was of no interest to me

Also might be getting an interview for a cleaner job, but im not so bothered about that anymore as it was only 12 hours a week with a 5:30am start



I'm waiting...i've got xcom to fuck with

Wear a suit...even for an induction.

Congrats though, hope it works out

Welcome! Roy of the Rovers?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

In just heard this in the "rate the song above" thread, I think it's amazing!


Los Dicker Tanz by Grosstadtgeflüster

 

[SKINNER!]

no, LondonGAF tune is this

Oh gosh, why does this sound familiar?

Seanbob, Itinerary will all be revealed next weekend. It'll be so much fun!

and Mike, there will be pics. Most definitely.

EDIT: You might get a laugh out of this f0rk and Kentpaul.

 

[4444244]

Welcome! Roy of the Rovers?

It should have been, but it was some naff copy I'm sure.

In this comic, you could send you picture in and be featured in a story.

One time, my mum sent my picture in, so I was 'lucky' enough for my ugly mug to be featured for like 1 panel.

 

[f0rk]

u might get a laugh out of this f0rk and Kentpaul.

The new one with Snoop Lion is hilarious

 

[SKINNER!]

The new one with Snoop Lion is hilarious

Oh snap! There's a new one with Snoop? Gonna check that out.

Love these Nardwuar interviews. The one he did Nas had me in stitches because you could tell Nas couldn't put up with his shit as the video progressed.

EDIT: just for clarification. Nardwuar is this quirky Canadian interviewer that asks the most bizarre/personal questions to musicians. He does all genres but the rap/hiphop ones are the funniest because he digs out the most obscure details that makes them feel awkward.

 

[BGBW]

Oh gosh, why does this sound familiar?

YTMND. Started with the OMG Secret Nazi Forest meme.

 

[wetflame]

Very roughly £1.8k, I'm buying pre-built though due to my disability.

Oh right. That's a bit out of my budget then, haha. I'll probably pick up a laptop for around £800-900, try and find something that'll do me well for a little while at that price.

 

[SKINNER!]

lmao at the Beyonce sex doll! Where did Nardwuar get that?!

YTMND. Started with the OMG Secret Nazi Forest meme.

aah that's it. You're right. Wow, what was that..like 2004/5? that took me back.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

So I just found out I have access to everything so I can work from home.

What this means is I'll never be actually allowed to work from home, but will probably find myself logging in when I get home to do stuff I didn't get a chance to finish that day.

Kinda sucks.

Always the way. I spent a Saturday night repeatedly running database queries on my work laptop one weekend because they took two hours to run and wanted to get ahead. That was fun.

Two of those are old ladies biscuits, and that isnt code for pissflaps.

2 hours into Bioshock and I'm not seeing the 95 metacritic, it seems overrated in the same way the original was.

I was 50/50 on wither to try it but Sesslers review got me hyped somehow, I find 1 overrated I was more frustrated with game due to seeing it could have potential but didn't grab me.

 

[Fernando Fernandez]

Been hyped for Bioshock for ages but then I read @thefatconsoler twitter and it saddens me.

Spoilers?

Sad times, if so - I've been lucky to avoid. It's a fantastic game, regardless of the story being spoiled. So much fun to play, so don't be too put off.

He's been good and all his tweets are spoiler free. Well worth a read. Think I will get it regardless.

After the bit on The Blurb - I'M BACK ON BOARD /TEAM BIOSHOCK

Welcome back.

Here's my spoiler-free plug for Bioshock Infinite:

I just played a section, fairly close to the beginning of the game & I literally said "holy shit, awesome"

 

[BGBW]

That's not Colin's bear!

I love that this all came about because one animation student just cba to bother with his assignment.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EHsZ8jtqklE

Cheezmo you are a ring a ding kid. And by that I mean I think of Christian from Clueless.

I didn't even know electro-swing was a thing.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

That's not Colin's bear!

The first time I saw this I laughed like an idiot for about 10 minutes. Nearly suffocated.

 

[Suairyu]

Back to work today, tender loin-globules and all.

A bit of a shit-storm occurred in my absence, too. Joy. 'least I have a reason why I'm not going to be doing a lick of overtime this week!

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

While you guys are all hype for Bioshock, I've got three days to finish playing MGS1. It's good to have a goal in life.

 

[Ashes]

In the flesh is cool. Recommended

 

[Suairyu]

Three days? Game is only 2 hours long.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Three days? Game is only 2 hours long.

I am a grownup with limited time, 2 hours game time a week is good for me! I just killed that Raven dude in the tank, how far through am I? That fight was a bitch as well.

I played MGS many years ago (this is the same copy on PC in fact) and it's funny both how much I remembered and forgot. In a lot of ways it was an incredibly ambitious game for the time. When you consider how early it was in the era of 3D games it's still very impressive. Wordy as fuck though, I think it would actually be 2 hours long if I skipped all the nattering on the codecs. Plus lol at all the super heavy handed sci fi ideas, Kojima has all the subtlety is a brick in the teeth.

 

[Chinner]

and most gamers miss his point anyway. subtlety be damned.

btw ur like 20% through the game. normal playthroughs can take between 8-12 hours lol.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Morning Gaf. I'm very grumpy this morning. Probably best not to piss me off.

So much to do! So stressed! Aaaaaarrrrggghhh!
