Page 336 might be my favourite page of this thread since the day BGBW made us all Jeremy avatars. And this might be my favourite post of my favourite page:

the real question is who will be giving and receiving. i can imagine musha putting on a strap on and doing jeyde in the arse.

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
Damn, I work for a bit, go eat lunch and miss out on all this fun.
Gotta be in here at the right time sometimes, or the wrong time if you look at it that way :p
 

BGBW

Maturity, bitches.
Well I told a bit of a fib. Technically my mother has the signed bottle. Can't quite remember. Pretty sure this was early days, before the Dragon's Den episode even (not too long before since we were told to check it out by Levi). It was at one of the Good Home shows where people go to sell their wares.

That or it was when they met him at the local Tesco because he was now a local millionaire promoting entrepreneurship.

My mother is one of those people who will get anything signed if he thinks they may be big one day.

Managed to melt my razor over night, leaving it on the light over my sink. God damn it I have no common sense.

This is what I get for going to Camel (Cindres knows what I mean).
 

SKINNER!

I love reading the subtle insults passed between Chinner and Kentpaul throughout this whole thread. Kinda reminds me of two kids in primary school who always try to one up each other. Wish they'd come to the meetup on Saturday and just have a rap battle in the middle of a quiet old man's pub.

It's like Noel Fielding and Simon Amstell on NMTBuzzcocks. Love it.

We should start some kind of fundraiser to make this happen.

Are any of you fine chaps going to be getting XCOM, Torchlight 2 or Borderlands 2?
Wouldn't mind some UK GAF co-op goodness.


Jedeye, if you like retro games of any variety, you should probably check out new XCOM. Looks so good. (.gif)

Yeah, XCOM looks very much up my alley. Is it a full price 360 game? I feel a little bit eeeeeehhh paying that much for a strategy game, iOS has spoiled me like that.

I also think I might be the only person in the world who doesn't like Borderlands, the first one bored the hell out of me.

If only XCOM was on iPad... :(

Do you have a capable PC at all? That's what I'll be playing on.

If not, let's buy you a PC. You're paying.

Is the 'd here short for had or would? Surely I didn't completely miss the post-meetup discussion in here?

EDIT: Guessing by the rest of the sentence that it hasn't happened yet. Kentpaul, I will pay for a return ticket from your choice of Scottish city if you promise to attend.

My PC can barely run windows and sounds like a jet taking off. But it does the trick, I only really use it for internet (when not on the sofa) and updating my phone. I haven't even used my xbox for gaming in about 3 months either. This gen has come to a spluttering stop for me :(

I do need a new PC though, mine sounds like a jet taking off and weighs about 20 kilos. Got it second hand from ebay for £100 about 4 years ago. Pretty good deal, all things considered.

I'm pretty sure that's gonna be pure gold.

When's the meetup again?

Let me know when you're building/buying a new PC/laptop - I can give you a hand.

I want somebody to liveblog it so I can follow on my phone.

omg yes. Someone needs to set up a stream! Someone also needs to film some stuff and upload it if i'm not there in my capacity as documentarian.

Actually, that's not a bad idea for a future gafmeet - a house party with a webcam in the corner - those that can't make it can hang out and watch the orgy/party.

Camel improved. At least on Friday and Saturday anyway...
It couldn't really get much worse, I maintain it's a better option than Tokyo these days.

Torchlight 2 and Borderlands 2 are both quite tempting to me. Built my new PC last weekend.
Though I'll be playing mostly Guild Wars 2 and Planetside 2 when I get the internet installed on Saturday.

I have the uneasy feeling it would be referred to as evidence after not too long.

I'm playing GW2 also - you'll have to hit me up. I'm a complete newb and have no idea what I'm doing at MMOs, so if you're a bit more au fait with the whole MMO-thing then that would be hugely helpful if you're up for it.

Would you also consider lending me your expertise? My laptop is on its last legs and I think I'll be wanting to replace it in the next few months. I've tried configuring my own on pcspecialists.com and it comes out to about £700, though I've no idea what I require in terms of RAM or graphics cards or any of that mumbo jumbo. I feel like an old man. With a concussion. In a coma. The only thing I do know is I want a blu-ray drive.

Yeah no worries, chap.

Just make a list of what you DEFINITELY want to be able to do on your laptop, then another list of things that would be cool but you don't definitely need.
Any preference on screen size, weight?
Ideal budget/absolute budget?

We'll find something cool for ya.
 
There's gotta be a live camera in London, like the one NYC-GAF found in Times Square.

Yeah there are loads all over. I've watched a few in Leicester Square when they've had premiers on.

I'm thinking maybe not. Too much evidence.

Remember, what goes on tour stays on tour!

My characters are on erm.. Fisherman's Landing? Or something like that, I forget now it's been over a week since I've been able to play.

Played a lot of WoW and tried a fair few other MMOs so I guess I'm somewhat clued up on it, though GW2 is something very new I think I figured most of it out in the week I've had with it.

It's especially fun nowadays, given it's the start of a new year. Our night involved a lot of seeing freshers collapse into the pillows near the back. :lol

Still, I do wonder what some people think they've gotten themselves into when they come here and eye up their options for a night out. Haven't been to Tokyo in a while, but if Camel's better than it now... yeesh.
