This game isn't really that fun anymore

 

[Trouble]

That's a fascinating means of hunting.

Incidentally, I had my first significant spider bite last week (yes, i'm Australian).

RIP your leg.

 

[Glin]

Will it ever cross the oceans? ☹

 

[RevenWolf]

Right all that's left is teleportation, and time stopping powers! Come on Australia stop messing around and throw us your A-Game!

 

[The Enchanter]

STRAYA...

I live in the UK now and it cracks me up how scared people are of the Aussie wildlife.

To be fair, this spider does look pretty hard core.

 

[Raticus79]

The spider can sit under water for up to an hour

Dive into an innocent looking pond, return to the surface covered with spiders.

 

[Violet_0]

meh, diving spiders has been done before

The diving bell spider or water spider (Argyroneta aquatica) is the only species of spider known to live almost entirely under water.

 

[Shmuppers]

This is the coolest thing I've read all week.

 

[iPaul93]

Of course it's Australia.

 

[plasmawave]

The next Asylum movie right there. Shark VS Spider.

 

[Jacksinthe]

I LOOOOOOOOVE spider threads! <3

We're on to you, spider.

 

[SmZA]

Handy cheat sheet for G/A/F threads.

Meth = Florida
Weird Sex = Germany
Spiders/Snakes = Australia

We got meth too though. Pretty sure lots of our spiders and snakes are also on meth & engaging in weird sex

 

[Clydefrog]

23 million people still live in Australia. Fucking survival experts!

 

[bobbychalkers]

Spiders are dope, Imagine how horrifying certain regions would be without them.

 

[Armoured Priest]

The next Asylum Sci-Fi channel original movie right there. Sharkoid VS Spidorilla.

FTFY

 

[Subpar Scrub]

23 million people still live in Australia. Fucking survival experts!

I think it became 24 million like a week ago, the papers were going on about it.

Anyway, I've been bitten by a huntsman before. Shit hurt like crazy. Still love this fucked up place, tho.

 

[Violet_0]

dolomedes (large semi-aquatic spiders like in the op) live on every continent but Antarctica, btw

 

[darkinstinct]

Why haven't we nuked Australia yet

We don't care, it's an island.

 

[senahorse]

We don't care, it's an island.

Did you miss the part where the spiders can swim? They are coming to continent near you.

 

[SJRB]

The spider can sit under water for up to an hour and can kill and eat insects, fish and even cane toads at least three times its size.

 

[Jintor]

aww what a cutie

 

[MrCunningham]

Totally radical, brah

And he has an orange headband just like Michaelangelo.

 

[Permanently A]

Not even frightened, that's amazing. Spiders are fucking cool.

[SchrodingerC]

Why haven't we nuked Australia yet

The nuclear fallout would only strengthen the evil that lurks on that island.

 

[Kieli]

Australia is like the end-game zone in Guild Wars I with the secluded Volcanic island and dinosaurs 'n stuff.

Like, you ain't getting by it unless you're level 20 with fully decked out gear and full party.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Australia is becoming a place of RPG monsters

I think RPG monsters are actually modeled after Australian wildlife

 

[Comfort Jones]

Amazing how many people complain about let's players hamming up reactions and then we get threads like this for the 1000th time lol.

"I've been bitten by this spider and it’s not particularly dangerous," Raven said, "It just stung for a little while." So scurred.

Pretty cool discovery though, wonder how long this thing has been around.

 

[Carton]

A hickey?

I never considered the little guy was just delivering some affection. It did happen in my bed after all and i was half dressed, maybe i led him on.

RIP your leg.

That's an arm

 

[Yagharek]

Why haven't we nuked Australia yet

England did in the 1950s

 

[Conkersbadfurday]

Daw. It's so cute :3

 

[Wilsongt]

Cowahellno,dude!
