That would require me to look like the models in magazines! Band shirts it is ;D

If I can get my mug in a magazine, anyone can :P

Was it an over or under the counter magazine ?

Nope. I'm surprised I'm allowed to post in ausgaf :p

[codswallop]

So AusGAF. What's the best area(or street) for restaurants in Melbourne(as in IN the city)? I've got a date this Saturday and I want to take her to somewhere not fancy but upper-casual. If you know what I mean, like $25-$30 main meal range, nice atmosphere, nice food.

I gave you some options when you last asked...

If you want somewhere really good this weekend, it may be too late to book. Whatever you do, for the love of god, do NOT go to Lygon Street. If someone suggests you go there, they don't know food and should be slapped.

You could try San Telmo, Senoritas, Hu Tong, Seamstress, Mo Vida, Mo Vida Next Door (no reservations taken/needed), Taxi, Cumulus Inc, Izakaya Den. Some of those places might blow your budget though so check their websites.

Over the counter wedding magazine. :P

GAF is going to melt down like it hasn't for 7 years when Wii U specs/launch games are revealed. Irrespective of what they actually are, it will be seen as vindication by everyone.

[codswallop]

Was it the gigantic 'Wedding'? My father-in-law is the photo editor for that one.

Whether it's better or worse than what people hope/want, it's going to be glorious to watch.

Hah nahh, Bride. Didn't get any payment for it either, nor the advertising we are still used in :x

Damn photographers. :P

Heh yeah, same thing happened to my sister. Payment is the pride in being useable for advertising, for the bride anyway lol.

[BananaArnie]

Aww I missed out on the top by 10. Today I woke uo and pinched or twisted my leg in some way and was in excruciating pain. Thats happened a few times now and I dont know how to fix it

[Yagharek]

Indeed. It will be a major case of "I told you so" from all invested factions. I think the last big drama was the Thursdayton thread, or the Wiimote reveal.

Auto-shotgun vs tank. The only way to go. No PC? :-o

Wait, there is an auto shotgun? The rifle is great for dense crowd control out in the open and shotgun is great running around indoors.



Also lol still haven't played Hot Pursuit and got Shift 2 Unleashed on PSN+ this week for free.

Well, semi-auto I suppose :P

Just not the pump action job.

I was used in the packaging for a box of cooking pots that are sold at Big W. Got to hear a chefs hat and everything! Also the $50 was nice as I was a poor uni student at the time. Mi Goreng for all!

Darklord, she may like The Toff in Town, 252 Swanston St. May/may not be infested with riff raff we call hipsters.

Bummed out I missed the L4D2 session, ended up having a few drinks and then my cold really kicked in. Pretty much a zombie today, just in time for holidays :|

If you know what I mean, like $25-$30 main meal range, nice atmosphere, nice food. Then somewhere after. A bar or club. I've been to cherry bar so maybe that but she might not be into that rock scene, I dunno yet. Every place I know is too far out of the city or not applicable for that night! Yes, I'm quite ignorant of what Melbourne has. I know places in Sydney and Brisbane easy. I need to start on Melbourne.

does it need to be cbd? if u want to be fancy theres a nice vegetarian joint up brunswick st in fitzroy whos name i forget, not very romamtic private, but nice jazzy friendly atmos, and theirs plenty of cocktail bars near

Did you sign a release? If not, you are entitled to some compensation. Being used to advertise a product is the only circumstance where a model release is required.

Without a PC, how are you posting on AusGAF?

[Jintor]

Phones yo

[Danoss]

I received a CD in the post a while back and hadn't gotten around to opening and ripping it to my PC yet. It's some creepy and atmospheric ambient music that would be great to use when running some Cthulhu or other horror RPG (which is the intent behind their creation). The creator included some album themed postcard things and one of them contained a personalised message. I though it was cool enough to share with you guys.

I feel video games take too much effort and I'd rather sit back and just watch Mad Men all day. Am I getting old?

This is all I do these days. gaming takes way too much effort.

I still game as well =P I just get enjoyment out of watching others game for some reason...

[commanderdeek]

I'm playing more portable games (while watching tv). Don't bother much with big console games these days, unless it's something I really really want to play.

[Clipper]

Just received the rubber feet I mentioned last week for propping up the 3DS top screen so it doesn't get marked by the lower screen edges nor circle pad. Here's a pic:



And from the side to see how much it lifts the screen:



The minimum I could order was the 60 shown, so I'm happy to send some out to other Aussies by regular mail.

If you want some, PM me and I'll send off 6 of the rubber feet by regular mail for $1.70 (which covers the stamp, envelope and a tenth of what I paid). Payment can be by Paypal, you pay any fees (although I think it's free for personal payments in AUD). I know there was a little interest already from when I first posted them, but there's plenty more to go around.

[reptilescorpio]

Just lazy. Need to find a game to spark you into action, or get into another hobby to the point where you get the urge to play games again.

I've got an x360 and I've literally finished one game in two years of owning it (gta4)

the wii gets more mileage when friends come over.

[Yagharek]

Rayman Origins had a good run.

[midonnay]

epic mickey?...... 700 people working on that?

[Jintor]

I think I'll send you some money for those Clipper.

Japanese speaking test time. : |

I think that's the Castle of Illusion sequel they announced recently.

Do you want to do it by mail or just wait until the next Board Games day? Do you know if you can make any of the April dates yet?

Edit: Oops, sorry for double posting, guys. Totally forgot that I'd just posted that other one...

Vince, that game looks amazing. Reminds me of Castle of Illusion. Here's hoping it's good.

Don't get me wrong, I think it looks great; I looooooove Disney's style and line art. Is it Rayman: Origins level, though? Not quite. The fact is (assuming Vince is serious) is that it isn't even fair to compare the two, considering the disparity of the systems that they reside on.

I think it looks awesome. Just to be clear. It is not Rayman: Origins, though.

[Yagharek]

epic mickey?...... 700 people working on that?

No. 800 people working across several versions. Wii is lead version (!) and developed by Junction Point, with PS3/360 versions developed by another studio. The 3DS version is different in terms of gameplay, taking off from where the 16 bit games left off.

I think that's the Castle of Illusion sequel they announced recently.

Correct.

Vince, that game looks amazing. Reminds me of Castle of Illusion. Here's hoping it's good.

Same here. It's always risky business taking after a long lost and much loved game. Many reboots simply fail to deliver when compared with nostalgia.

Can't tell if serious.

Deadly serious. Rayman Origins looks incredible, but pixel art looks more authentic given the medium. 2D art isnt dependent on resolution or technical brilliance as much as bleeding edge 3D is in order to look great. Art style, themes, characterisation conveyed through small details (due to lack of realism) etc all matter greatly. Rayman looks good but to me it doesnt look like I think 2D should look like. In a weird way.

You sir have good taste.

Nah, just a conversation-style interview. Probably aced it.

Uh, probably screwed up the reading section. Something about Las Vegas being bright or something, but some other place not being bright. I dunno. でも、おもしろいです。。。

Hey Kritz, I'm watching the livestream footage from last night and you made a mistake.

You said CoD3 was the first CoD to have vehicles in MP, but CoD UO had them in MP and that was the expansion for the first game.

Just thought you should know...
