Hey whoever runs the AusGAF twitter account, you could clean up the automated post tweets by getting rid of the #AusGAF hashtag at the start and dropping the 'says' from the start (i.e. "#AusGAF Planet_JASE says:" becomes "Planet_Jase:").

I can do all that if others don't use the hashtag. I can remove the goo.gl links at the end of individual posts if no one uses them either. I'll leave them on the bulk updates (e.g. when there's 5+ posts in a 15 minute period).

Also my name isn't linked to my Twitter (lorcanw).

I'll do that now.

You could also clean it up do it isn't posting the GAF name AND the twitter name if they're the same.

Not a bad idea. Just stick an @ in front of the username if the linked Twitter account is the same. That'll take a little longer, not that it's particularly hard so I'll check it out tonight.

So it was a bust?

I was hoping to grab some points online but from what I understand reading WP, online discounts are virtually non-existant.

Not a big deal

From DSE's FB:

Due to the popularity of the Gaming Sale, we understand some customers have been left disappointed this morning.

Today’s sale was a clearance sale which means stock was strictly limited and availability varied between stores and online. This was clearly outlined on our page when the sale was announced last week.

We received an overwhelming response this morning. As a result many stores sold out within the first hour of the sale and our website received an unprecedented volume of traffic.

Contrary to some reports, Dick Smith will continue to sell Gaming.

Some customers? LMAO..

Vic worker sacked for looking too young

How in the hell did they think that was a good idea?

 

[codswallop]

A smarter business would have offered anyone who signed up a 5% off voucher or something as a token of goodwill.

And then resold that information.

 

[Danoss]

Oh, so Game of Thrones Season 2 starts today? I haven't started reading 'A Clash of Kings' yet, boooooo.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Yep, should be out in a couple of hours.

 

[Danoss]

Yep, should be out in a couple of hours.

It finishes airing in about 10 mins. It'll be out a lot sooner than that.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

LOL, gumtree and ebay are full of "got 2 for my bday so one has 2 go" sales, mostly racing wheels.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

It's out.

 

[codswallop]

Sick Beard already lists Game of Thrones season 3 as airing from 7th April 2013.

 

[markot]

It's out.

Where?! Itunes?!

 

[Danoss]

If you knew what sickbeard was, you'd probably know where to look.

 

[codswallop]

Where?! Itunes?!

Places with a lot fewer scruples than iTunes.

Can anyone tell me what I will gain if I register the Online Pass in Mass Effect 3? Is it even worth the effort?

Since we're over 1/4 of the way through, some predictions...

GoT S02E01 went up like half an hour ago.

 

[HolyCheck]

Gah in a course.

Thanks for the heads-up, it seems we had no prior warning.

 

[BananaArnie]

Big effin joke. Staff had reserved EVERYTHING worthwhile. They did not even bother putting up the sale stickers on marked down items. Highpoint had maybe 200 people crammed in, no one got a single piece of hardware. Many fanatics were grabbing $5 bargain bin games, but there was nothing good in there. Checked out Altona gate store as well, less rush but not a single item on shelf...asked the staff and she gave me a sly smile and I got the hint.

Thats such a pile of shit. My mum was at altona and had everything I wanted but they said none of it was discounted so I got nothing and now your telling mr it was like 1 hour later

I don't understand the second section >_<

YOU WIN EITHER WAY

 

[jambo]

I used to post heaps in AusGAF, then I got a girlfriend...

 

[Card Boy]

Woah that Medal of Honor game i got from Dickies today for $5 is a steal. It has 2 games, and the multiplayer is really fun. Downside is the spawn system sucks arse on the smaller maps.

 

[codswallop]

I don't understand the second section >_<

Based on your current number of posts in this thread (e.g. AusGAF VI) to date, I've made a guess at the number of posts you'll end up with if you continue at the current rate for the remaining 3/4 of AusGAF VI.

 

[Fogz]

The gf got me God of War HD collection 2 for me for 5 bucks. I'm pretty happy with that. They were still marking stuff down when she got there so she was following the girl around with the pricegun. Also, there was 1 other guy there grabbing stuff

She wants to go back though and and try and grab the sonic games when they get marked down

I'm jelly. I mostly wanted GoW Collection 2 aswell, and the 100dollar 250gig Xbox Slim.

 

[BananaArnie]

So based on the stories and how shit all of the stores handled everything im boycoting dse and never buying anything from them ever again. Not that I did anyway. They qere always way overpriced and had shitty selections

 

[reptilescorpio]

I don't want to win

This means Vince has to step up and post more! Also hopefully Choc turns up at some point.

 

[evlcookie]

Anything with some form of media on it is destroying chrome today. I guess the 18 stable on osx isn't very good for some reason.

Will install opera as an alternative now at work. It's been so long since I've used it!

I wonder how bad the killing will be this season, That also started today.

 

[Deeku]

Hey at least we're consistent!

Will it work out like this?

 

[hamchan]

I've only seen 3 episodes of The Killing so far and it seems alright. Must get real bad towards the end for everyone to hate it so much.

Also today is a good TV day. Mad Men and Game of Thrones on the same day.

 

[Fredescu]

Will it work out like this?

It depends on whether people that want to troll arnie will join his publically joinable group.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Would have been hilarious if Banana was in that MW2 list.

 

[Fredescu]

You used to be able to subscribe to threads from secondapps right? I don't seem to be able to anymore.

Damn, having read the books takes some excitement out from watching the tv series.

Posting just to subscribe is a bit obnoxious.

Posting just to subscribe is a bit obnoxious.

So post something interesting.

Too much pressure! I don't much like posting from mobile devices either.

No because im not a fucking idiot. I never liked them anyway and this shit was just such a clusterfuck.

Edit: that said I just got an infringment for not having a.valid concession card on the train.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Another one:

An unwanted birthday gift. Never been used only opened box for inspection purposes. A must have for MW3 fans (would keep it my self if I didn't already own one) Paid $650, dont be a sucker like me and buy it now!

DSE staff are stupid.

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

This is amaaaazing.

 

[Yagharek]

I love how upset DeathJr is at the DSE debacle; it's obviously outraged him something fierce.

It also gives me a chance to post this quote again:

Vince hates everything and is totally abrasive. I like that.

Fixed.
