Hey Holy, I can't come to BarCraft. A, I'm feeling super shit and sick and B, I have another thing to do and I feel like my body will only be able to deal with one night out. Sorry :(

So should I add every book I've ever read to goodreads? That kind of seems like a cool idea. I'm maintaining a separate 2012 Media Log elsewhere anyway

I am doing that, slow process though. I thought I was doing well, then I saw a couple other gaffers with over 1000 books listed. :(

Add me to the 'Yes' list please Clip. Eels are playing Monday Night Football at home on the 12th that week, so I'm good to go.

If you want anything brought for lunch, let us know.

Cool. I'll fix that for any further ones, but leave you at maybe for the original post to better parody HolyCheck's.

Also, I should make it clear that lunch probably won't be at my place (unless someone brings something or we order in). I'll be on my diet that day, so I'll be abstaining from snacks and stuff, but I have absolutely no problem with you guys eating whatever.

Cool beans. When you said "lunch at my place", I thought it meant exactly that. I thought you were planning on whipping up a surprise in the kitchen and would wander on out at lunchtime and say "check out this roast I cooked everyone, dig in!" ... or something, haha.

So my brother's in Malaysia and it turns out a Vita is roughly $250 AUD over there. 3G version is only $300, which is still $50 less than what EB is selling the Wifi version in Australia for.

Might get him to buy me one, but does anyone know the region restrictions if I do so? I'd imagine the 3G is locked to a specific provider but besides that do I have anything else to worry about?

Pom accents can sound amazing. Some can strip the hormones from my body and lock them in a dumpster at the bottom of a grease filled sea.

Great Pom accents though are DIVINE.

Saturday the 3rd of March
5-6pm for a drink or two, then to the exchange hotel (corner of little collins and Kings st) for the GSL finals.

Anyone keen?

The weekend of the 17th might be OK for me, the weekend of the 24th should be OK, but any other weekend is out for me this month. A midweek meet is possible but since I neither work nor live on the city would have to be sorted ahead of time.

I know some weren't keen on the idea of a beer showcase meet, but I think the event is on this month sometime so could still be a possibility.

Just about any chick with a British accent has me at "what the fuck are you looking at, creep?"

Today I learned: Darth Maul didn't die at the end of the Phantom Menace. The hell is this shit.
Click to expand...

I'm just going to guess, shitty extended universe comic (it wouldn't be a book, they'd want you to see the edgy art they did for it). Darth Maul is found at the bottom of the exhaust pit or w/e he fell into. He has been sustaining himself with the help of the force. The only way to keep him alive would be to give him cyborg legs inspired very clearly by the design of General Grievous. He becomes even more of a ninja.

Edit: Apparently the canon version is (Spoilers for season 4 of The Clone Wars if anyone cares)
"Maul survived through his hate and will to live, and hatred against Kenobi, he reached out with the Force and grabbed an air vent. He somehow escaped from Naboo and arrived to Lotho Minor in order to escape his master's anger for Maul's failure. Maul acquired a six-legged cybernetic apparatus to replace his lost lower body, and stayed in the caves of the planet. For over ten years, Maul's memories were lost and he was in state of near-madness, eating only the little animals that came to the cave, but the only thing he remembered was Obi-Wan Kenobi and how he took his legs."

Also there is a non-canon story that is closer to my predicted tale
"As it turns out, Maul somehow survived his bisection and subsequent fall into the reactor shaft on Naboo. Fitted with cybernetic legs, he began a vicious hunt for the only person to have defeated him; Obi-Wan Kenobi"
In this story he looks like this

Fun fact, Wookieepedia is poorly maintained. Would have thought there would be more of an overlap between star wars super-fans and wiki editors.

I find myself amused they have retconed it so he only lost his legs, not half his bloody torso.

Could be cool, it's a pretty interesting period, but yeah small low set towns don't seem like a good fit. Surely the same time period in say London would have been a better idea? The costume doesn't suit either. Needs more triangle hats

And that was a good game if football to kick off the season. I'm not convinced either team will be front runners though.
Get ready for the knights and dragons to be locked into the top two for the rest if the season now

Edit: nope, Darth maul died. Get fucked extended universe

Before Bob Katter unveils his plan to transform the Gold Coast into the hub of “art and elegance’’, Premier Anna Bligh has pledged to deliver a detailed master plan for a “Gold Coast Chinatown’’ at Southport.

If re-elected, the Bligh Government would contribute $50,000 towards the master plan and would ask the Gold Coast City Council to make a similar contribution.

The Gold Coast Chinatown could include “up to three ‘Paifang’ or entrance gates, with traditional Chinese designs developed between the Gold Coast and its sister city of Beiha. The precinct could hold regular street markets and festivals and its lanes would be lined with lanterns that light up each evening. Other features put forward by proponents of the Chinatown Project include a Cultural Centre and Memorial Gardens, and we are keen to explore all of these options.”

Yeah, me too. Maybe they have the "annoying students" mentality. One time they refused to accept my student card and made me pay for an adult ticket, god knows why. This was at UQ as well.

Q: What can you tell a young man looking for motivation in life itself?

A: The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.
For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.

Neil deGrasse Tyson. Over on his new reddit ama.

I love that man.

McEzio doesn't look Americany enough. The hood carries too many elements of Altair and doesn't quite fit the sitting in the same way it did for the Crusades-era Middle East and Renassaince Italy.

Should have ample fodder for the Templar/Brotherhood feud though. It'll weave into the pre-established conspiracy elements quite nicely. The French Revolution would have been a suitable historical backdrop but then again, game companies sure do like the money that prequels/sequels bring in for them!

Hopefully 'human scalps' are one of the collect-a-thon items that you have to get twenty of before you can buy the thing from the shop with the guy.
