So, SydGAF, Marsh is going to be in Sydney, so are we going to do another full meetup? Upcoming SydGAF Events are:
May 6th: Board games with Clipper, Danoss and Jintor
May 20th: Board games with Clipper, Doncamatic, Marshmellow and anybody else who wants to come.
Shall we do a dinner and/or drinks gathering on the 20th? Would you prefer another day? Marsh is with us for a while, so there is plenty of scale to pick better times and so on. Please, speak up if you are interested as this might be the last time I spruik this...

Hey. It's not that emphatically upper-class.
If it is even that at all. I dunno. I think I drawl.
I'm down for board games, but am unlikely to be able to afford anything outside that. I'd rather not sit at a meetup and say "I can't afford dinner" whilst hosting my own pity party. I'm quite happy to hang out and stuff though.
Sorry, I should remember that.
About all that has changed is the shape of the button. The iconography has not, it was the same on my old HTC magic...which had android 1.6!
Watch out, they may send their lawyers after you for even considering such a thing!
Also, there was this little gem. Apple was taken to court for not fulfilling a promise to customers, then trying to weasel out of it. Pretty disgusting behaviour on their part.

Already played a practice match against bots with him. He's um...interesting. Trouble is I find it hard to control more than one dude, hah. He is going to be a damn nuisance in the hands of the right player though, that's for sure. I watched one game with like 600 viewers, and the PL was TERRIBLE. You need to get in there as much as possible to get your phantoms. This guy played defensively, didn't work.

Yeah I'm not sure if you want to be leveling spirit lance, 1 in W, a couple in stats to put you in a comfortable laning place, then focus on spirits+ult past 7 when it becomes more comfortable to push, or if you want to just spam spirits, 1 in spirit lance for a minor slow, 1 in W for escaping and push, more or less, off the bat.

Apparently, I sound like that drunk.
I found a Canadian drink named after me! It's called a Bloody Caesar! Spelling's slightly off, but it tastes like spicy tomato soup.

Holy crap, this is skeevy as fuck. I like my iPod well enough and was thinking of getting an iPhone when my current contract's up, but reading that article makes me want to avoid touching anything Apple.

So AusGAF, I've got a query. I can't make a thread about it (and Australian opinions would be better anyway) but I've been thinking about picking up a tablet.
I figure loading stuff to read and general tablet-y stuff should be no big deal to work out myself, but I was hoping to throw some games on it. I was looking at mainly turn based stuff like Fallout 2/Baldur's Gate (and the ton of new old-school RPGs that have popped up recently) and point and click adventures. I've got a heap of both sitting around I haven't finished or started, since I've just been raiding Steam and GOG whenever there's been some good deals.
So is there a particular tablet to suit my needs here, or am I wasting my time at this point? iPads are pretty much the poster child for tablets but I'm not sure that's the way to go if I'm going to be running older DOS/Windows games along with my general inexperience with Apple computers. I was worried about compatibility or input issues, I don't want to buy something ridiculously expensive and find out it won't run any of the programs I want.

There is an Android port of DOSbox, though it's a for-pay app so I haven't had a look at it as my interest in the area was fleeting. I don't think there's anything for iOS (and if there is it'd have to be jailbroken). Another alternative is something like the MSI WindPad, and while I don't really like these devices, it will be the device with the highest chance of compatibility.
The other alternative is to choose your tablet hardware of preference based on the OS/individual tablet quality, and then RDP into a desktop computer. Will require a separate computer, won't work very well on the road, but will work with any tablet you choose with varying levels of success.
Arnie, I purposefully stayed away from May the Fourth jokes. But who cares, it's almost over, and tomorrow's Cinco de Mayo!

3 day weekend!!!!!
That is like the worst bunch of design decisions they could have made. Bloody hell.
Could be worth waiting to see what's on offer in terms of windows 8 x86 tablets?
If you can afford Mourinho, you can afford some good players. Same thing at Chelsea and Inter. When he won the Champions League final with Inter Milan there was not one Italian player on the pitch for them that night.
Welcome to footballAusGAF, don't listen to Choc or Salazar. They are crazy.

Haha, I've never heard that before! That's great.
Four day weekend whooo.
Nah, wasn't that awkward
just feel bad about having to rush off. There is truly nothing worse than getting your speech cut short, but you seemed to make the best of things. Also holy crap avengers was the best thing ever. I.. wow. So many good moments. I don't know why they changed the actor for hulk, but mark ruffalo seemed like the perfect fit for him. Only bad part was me buying a frozen coke. Needing to pee during a film like that is not fun :s but seriously it was great.
I'm sorry
Croatia you might beat...
Think about it. I think Ireland only conceded 5 maybe 6 in the group stage. So a win versus Croatia and 2 draws versus Spain and Italy.
I think Steven Gerard was right in saying the Euros are harder than the world cup because you don't get any easy teams in the group stages
You're funny.
i bet Todd Howard thinks the MMO is shit
also if Samsung want to seriously compete with Apple they need to open stores like Apple have.
The fact if the iphone breaks and you take it to apple, and they replace it on the spot is a HUGE thing for people who rely on their phone for business
i've spoken to a lot of people and they said if they could swap a samsung phone on the spot if it breaks, they would go samsung
none of this 6-8 week shit. Apple has that sorted very well indeed.

Star wars is as bad as Bethesda existing in my book.
Well, Apple has like 2 phones out, Samsung has.... 5341?
Based on evidence of morrowind crashing a fair bit.
I think the funniest thing about the Elder Scrolls MMO is how it completely fucks over Old Republic if it is even slightly more than TOR's 'Burning Crusade with Star Wars and voice acting'.
Hell it might even make it to Wrath of the Lich Kings levels and it'll only be 2 expansions behind!

Nice.
Because people feel they get good value and a lot of fun out of them? Pretty crazy idea.
On a more serious note, this article is incredible (and incredibly depressing) reading:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-05-04-free-radical-vs-the-monsters
David Doak's account of the shit Free Radical went through.
Publishers are arseholes. EA, Activision and Lucas Arts especially.
Quick quote from the opening:
Seriously - this is actual, real gaming journalism for a change.

Jambo: Steam friend me. Shaneus2k2.
Others (reptilescorpio, and jambo too I guess): You want that Torchlight preorder gift? I don't know if you can gift something when the recipient already owns it. Otherwise I have I think maybe two people on my Steam friends list that don't have it.

You can, it just goes into their inventory.
