Thought I'd bring my funky new laser into work so I can sort out the microphone sensitivity. Someone else brought in a ukelele. Now we have the most absurd daytime nightclub in England.

Next on the 'to buy' list is a smoke machine.

 

[RiggyRob]

Am I the only one who thinks The Order looks staggeringly dull?

I think it looks almost exactly like a Penny Dreadful tie-in game, and I haven't even watched Penny Dreadful.

Spent most of last night socialising with VAGUE, a role-playing and war-gaming society.

I would not be caught dead role-playing or war-gaming.

 

[dapperbandit]

I like the look and the setting but yeah it just looks like a run of the mill third person shooter. I remember getting excited by previews describing some crazy stuff they were doing with the physics in-game but I've seen no evidence of that beyond swishy coat tails.

I can't even remember what The Order is.

If you're getting a smoke machine you need to get a strobe light too

Pretty sure I've still got one lying around from my late 90's adventures. I'll just be using the laser though, it has those funky strobing bars that swoosh around the room like some crazy sci-fi weapons system when they hit the smoke. Badass.

Seems like a smoke machine will only cost me about £30 on the bay. Bargain.

Dont forget Pyrotechnics.

I think the next level of club technology would be quadrocopters flying around with strobes and cameras.

That sounds pretty awesome!

Slightly obsessed with this record at the minute mate, I reckon it'll baste your turkey too. It's stuffed full of sexy, pulsating basslines and sweet, moreish vocal hooks:

BANKS - Alibi

BANKS - Fuck Em Only We Know

BANKS - And I Drove You Crazy

The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets comes out on Monday then SBTRKT playing Albert Hall Tuesday, fuck yes. I might have to skip Marmozets at Deaf Institute on Wednesday though because skint/probably knackered/apparently no-one else wants to go.

Fuck you guys.

The first episode of the new season of South Park is pretty brilliant.

Totally forgot about that. Gonna watch it later.

The end of last season leading up to The Stick Of Truth (which is great btw) was so funny

Hey, what's a cool present for a boy turning 13? Wife has already shot down the suggestions of fags, booze & porn and he's already into minecraft so any ideas what the kids are into?

BB Gun. Since the holy trinity have already been shot down.

Comics, Lego and nerdy collectible statues.

What if he's a jock?

 

[Screaming Meat]

What if he's a jock?

A strap... or porridge. Maybe combine the two.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

What if he's a jock?

a stick and hoop?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

What if he's a jock?

Then cars, boobs and explosions obviously.

 

[Jackben]

What if he's a jock?

Then he hasn't been raised properly and should probably be sent to a boarding school to get him away from the general population.

 

[Mikeside]

Get him a drumkit.
His parents will hate it.

Steam gift voucher? or steam wallet codes as they're officially called.

I give books normally [and by normalcy I mean 99.9% of the time]. Funny thing is, I'd probably give him Junk going by this list:

[jimbor]

Depends if he was a yes or no.

 

[8bit]

Haha, it's my nephew, he's Scottish by birth but has spent most of his life in England. Got him a quadcopter thing with a camera, basically a drone to spy in people's windows. It's what I would have wanted at that age.

--

Oh yeah, I considered a drumkit. Last year my brother came over to visit and bought my son a Nerf gun as a gift. My son then shot his bedroom window and smashed it. If I'd bought a drumkit I think my brother & wife would just shrug their shoulders and accept it.

I'm travelling back down South to Cambridge tomorrow, anyone got any suggestions for a movie I could download tonight for watching on the train tomorrow? The longest part of the train journey is about 2 hours, so something slightly less than that would be good, and obviously it needs to be suitable for public viewing, so no sexy and/or grossout stuff. Yeah I'll be using headphones but people can still see the screen, so.

Any ideas?

21 Jump Street & Lego Movie.

 

[Nerdkiller]

21 Jump Street & Lego Movie.

You should throw in Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs along with it if you want more Lord and Miller.

ARGH, I just noticed Screaming Meat is banned.

Tablet or phone if you're feeling expensive? One of those Minecraft toys? Some nice clothes? dunno...

 

[sploatee]

Yo BritGAF! I'm back - poor you!!!!


I'm so so gutted I couldn't make it to EGX. Wasted all that money on tickets and hotel, etc. I hope you all had a great time. Really, really, really gutted. Proper gutted.

I now have an iPhone 6. It works and everything.

I'm back to work tomorrow...eek.

Taylor Swift is pop good.

How are y'all?

I'm knackered after doing some 'trials' for the university Computer Science football team, which mainly consisted of playing a 7-a-side and then an 11-a-side game.

How's the iPhone? Is it bent yet?

Sounds scientific.

Nope. Not bent. Yet.

Shake It Off is weapons grade pop music.

 

[Ashes]

Is 'weapons grade' good or bad?

 

[jimbor]

It's the only plutonium I buy.

It's the only plutonium I buy.

I had to give some Libyans a shoddy bomb casing filled with used pinball parts to get mine.

 

[sploatee]

Isn't it?!?!

That and Katy Perry's Roar.

 

[JonathanEx]

Shake It Off is weapons grade pop music.

Think it's my favourite song on radio right now.

My favourite is 'Lauren Bacall: SECRETS SHE TOOK TO HER GRAVE'. Presumably that's just a blank page.

So this is what happens on a BritGaf night out

[Dot Matrix]

Are the meetups always in London? Or do you have a regional franchise?

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Are the meetups always in London? Or do you have a regional franchise?

We had one in Newcastle once, and no one showed up. Except a few people from London/South East.

There's been a few mini meets in Manchester which has proved a little more successful. Of course people are more than welcome to arrange their own meets wherever they want and we have tried encouraging people to do so whenever the Northerners start complaining about meets always being in London, but it seems that no one wants to take charge and organise!

So the main quarterly meets will more than likely continue to be in London, and if anyone wants to try arranging one elsewhere they can!

 

[The_Poet]

Gutted I missed the meet, looks like fun, and I've been meaning to go to EGX for some time.

This weekend I had far too much beer and takeaways and now I feel like a slimy dirtbag

 

[SKINNER!]

Morning all! Didn't get back to Glasgow until late last night due to such a wank bus service. Serves me right for taking the megabus I suppose. Still, weekend was such a great laugh. Here are some pics.

 

[dapperbandit]

The pics and videos from the meet are great. The willy I drew on that game maker has been consigned to the annals of history now.

 

[sploatee]

So so disappointed I couldn't make it.

 

[The_Poet]

That hammer is fuckin' rad.

 

[dapperbandit]

Rockin' those SS sunglasses

It pulls them off well

Afternoon chumps and chumpettes, how are we all?
