I think he's probably the best couch you could buy in the shape of a human.

MightyApe have a few good deals, might take another shot. Can't recall postage costs though, that might stop me at checkout.

My "friend" has been giving me shit about a Rolling Stone pinball machine somewhere in the city in Brisbane. I've been getting in to pinball lately, and I'd really like to try this, but he's holding out on the location.

Anyone know where this elusive machine lives?

It's been made redundant and in its place is a nephew of a new minister who will gladly take your 20c coins.

The NSW police commissioner Andrew Scipione has linked a growing number of stabbings to violent video games.

Yep. I believe this. There were no stabbings before videogames existed.

It's just preposterous. If video games had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

The cheapest place I know is "Time Gone" which is opposite the Cabramatta train station, Sydney

$1 for 2 continues.

It's sort of seedy and underground but worth checking out if you're into crazy arcades.

Next Thursday ? I have a moderation meeting, to remedy my wild inexperience at marking essays.

Also, I suppose, to help me take a more dispassionate approach to it. Which isn't easy.

I dont mind seeing Sydney win if they do so playing the football they have been.

I dont want to see geelong win another, hawthorn get anywhere near it, or collingwood ever again. West coast winning would be unbearable living in WA.

That leaves Adelaide who I dont mind, and Sydney as the only viable contenders in the 8 who I dont despise.

Essendon/North/Fremantle dont have a shot unless the stars align and they do a steve bradbury.

edit: a sydney vs adelaide final would be a damn good game to watch I reckon. Non-traditional rivals, and both teams capable of some impressive football. Also helps that they are generally pretty good fair players in both sides too.

IMO it should always be at a non-home ground for each team so nobody gets a home ground advantage. Not that there would be much of a home ground supporter advantage.

why is nobody in steam chat

:( That's so mean! What if you are sleepy but have class soon? Luckily we've got lots of sunny grassy areas that are nice for lazing on as well.
The trick is to have a book, and possibly a pen in hand so if someone comes by it looks like you're busy working :p Also sitting in the corner helps.

As in the 16th? Sounds good :D Let me know when you're free. I have class at 2 but that's it.

I hope you don't have too much to mark =/ I imagine it eats up a fair amount of time..

Just chiming in that I received my Double Fine Backer Rewards last Monday, the 30th of July. I received my notification of shipping on the 11th of July. Some people may want to check their spam filters, because the email came from Fangamer Mailroom (orders@faangamer.com) with a subject line of DFA Shipping Confirmation: Order KICKDFA-#---- which took me a second to realise what the funch I had ordered from Fangamer.
