Listening to super bunnyhop while I work. I like him. Makes me want to play Ground Zeroes again tho.

Yeah, Musha's Preacher tattoo is quality.
You big nerd.
Nah, I think it's obscure enough that it wouldn't be immediately obvious it was a from a game. Pretty cool idea!Fair enough. You were right about the Last of Us DLC, so call it square
Booked E's next tattoo (birthday present). I want a Darksign tattoo. I'd regret it wouldn't i?
"O hey cool tattoo what is it"
"It's er from a video game"
"K bye"

I posted this in girlgaf but I'm moving towards coolness when I hit 70 or so. By then I should have a sense of style and marginally less insecurity.
Until then though did I mention erm mumble mumble .
Got to say when you wore your hipster glasses last time you came round I thiught Owen looks pretty stylish.

i need new glasses as i am wearing a very old prescription and they're not quite hipster enough.
I dun fucked up. I copied and pasted for speed, it read a mess.
I feel worse like oni-link and their bad posting styles.
PS I am.
You're a beardy composer dude though. You're already in the coolhouse.

Good shit.
Went for a mint bike ride today, bring on the spring!
Been up since 7, in the kitchen with the bro until 3, 4 hour bike ride, back out to work for another 7 hours at Mint tonight.
Feel pretty good now but I'm so going to crash at about midnight.
Sammy loved the specs look, I'm not so much a fan but maybe I should rock them a bit more. I never wear them to "go out" and wear my contacts to work on a weekend, but I wear them most of the week simply because it's easy.

Just beat Hotline Miami 2.
Hard as fuck, banging soundtrack, CUHRAZZY narrative.
In a rare hipsterish moment I can profess to have been a fan of Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Mega Drive, Magic Sword and others BEFORE the game was made.
So as the French say, mange mon poop sil vous plait.

Fair enough.
Have you ever seen the collision data map? It's really impressive:
They made the whole world geographically and spatially to scale (apart from a few little bits)
What's new about it compared to the first?
PS there's a synth music thread somewhere I think in OT. Don't know if you're already aware of it.
There's a cool 2D art version of the world in this month's Edge too. *restrains self from talking more about Dark Souls*

That's pretty cool like.
There is no denying how much care and attention went into building the world. Even areas like Blighttown which I hated were clearly designed to evoke a particular mood (presumably despair and confusion in that area!), but I prefer a little more direction. I know that goes against the whole ethos of the Souls games but there you go!
Still really looking forward to Bloodborne though, I'll probably give Dark Souls 2 a whirl on PS4 at some point too.

dark souls 2's level design is such a step backwards from the almost organic feel that the first game had.
dapperbandit

I subscribed to that thread
HM2 is more difficult and there's more variety in the missions. Rather than a whole raft of similar masks in the original, the game slims down the number but makes them more distinctive. Sometimes a different play style is imposed on you by the story which is more nuanced. The soundtrack is much better in my humble opinion.

Not to sound generically British, but the weather really doesn't help with the mood. I'm stuck in traffic and it's pissing it down. I can't wait for summer to be here.

It's still pretty nice in London, for at least a few more hours anyway.
In other news, my landlord, for the first time since I've lived here, has arranged for the property to be cleaned. There's an empty room so I guess he needs the communal area to look okay before people come and see it. Instead of cleaning the bathroom though, he's just painted it. Like, all of it, the tiles and everything. You can still see some remnants of shower gel that have splashed on the tiles, under the coat of paint.

i trudge past their almost every day. i shall shout HELLO SPLOATEE and HI EMMA from now on.
there's a tiny fat pidgeon that sits underneath the bridge that my girlfriend and i are friends with. he knows what's up.
ah good to see he's living up to the standard of landlords being criminally inept.

More just tired. And it turns out the flight I'm on for a work thing is at 7am. This means getting up super early to get there, which I'm obviously looking forward to.
...I'm spending 5 days in Milan, so I can't really complain.
Do it!
Lovely. Landlords are unpleasant.
No, you can't!

MancGAF I was gonna go for a drink after work (or coffee whatever) but my friend can't make it. Anyone fancy it? Somewhere central?

Plus some choice bars/clubs:
The Temple of Convenience
The Castle
Sand Bar
The Thirsty Scholar
Apotheca
Band on the Wall
Sound Control
They are though, always have been.
Edit:
I'm done in Beth, last night was a fucking nightmare, pure bass explosion for like 6 hours (you should've seen the speaker set up, Jesus....), I've got to go in and help my bro for a a bit on four hours sleep. I'm going home to bed this afternoon!

I'm not really that bothered, I thought it was quite funny. The bathroom was okay anyway because I clean that. The guys I live with are useless cunts and won't clean for shit, but if I'm going to use the bathroom I can't have it looking like it did. I've got some pretty nasty photos of how bad the bathroom was and these guys were just totally like "yeah, it's fine." They're grown men but I swear they're just sitting there expecting their mums to come and do it or something.
Are these real?
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Convenience.
Harry Potter and the Thirsty Scholar
Apotheca just sounds like a horror movie all on its own.

I've never actually read Pratchett, and I know that makes me a terrible person but there was just so much stuff that I had no idea where to start, so I never did.

I started reading my dad's copy of The Colour of Magic but never got around to finishing it (I don't actually know where the book is now).
I'll probably rewatch the Hogfather at some point instead.

i do pretty good at the harpotcon afterparties.
oh oh harry potter and the sudden fanbase!
see? great stuff.
Colour of Magic/Light Fantastic is a bit dull to be honest
Go to Discworld books:
Guards, Guards! (then immediately read Jingo, then finish with The Night Watch, it's way better but the first one is a good introduction to the characters and the second one fits in between the two & is a great read)
Mort (then immediately read Reaper Man, again, way better but you need the introduction, then Soul Music, then Hogfather and finish with Thief of Time which are all great)
You can pretty much skip the Rincewind books. He's way overhyped. Give Sourcery and Interesting Times a go if you start getting into the series.
Also, non Discworld, but Nation is a great book too
That's not unusual...
If the Temple of Convenience is the temple it's amazing. The one straight bar where i don't feel frightened of all the cis hets. It's in a toilet too!

Hell yeah. Very different writers, of course. Been years since I read any but I love the Brentford Triangle stuff. Poole and O'Malley are classic.

I got as far as Mort and stopped for no other reason than those were the three books I had. Excellent reading, though. There's enough imagination in those first two Rincewind books for a hundred more books, let alone what I'm sure the others introduced.
The Hogfather adaptation is amazing too.
