The first few overs were rubbish, but I will put that down to nerves more than anything. Aiming at the stumps works, who would have thought!

Ah yes, the McGrath Procedure.

 

[Yagharek]

Cowan took a screamer at bat pad last test though, his catching has been pretty damn good and this one drop is the exception.

Hard to fault anyone in the Australian side this series. Hilfy and Siddle started flat but worked their guts out. Lyon has been tireless. Cowan, Warner have all got good starts. Clarke and Hussey have been in beast mode.

Only two I would fault are Wade and Ponting.

 

[pieatorium]

Yeah Wade hasn't done much and missed some stumping/run out chances

Just warming the seat for Tim Paine.

Also I feel kinda bad for AB de Villiers. Always loved watching him play, but he's clearly out of sorts. Don't know if that's got something to do with the added responsibility of wicketkeeping or just a form drop.

 

[Yagharek]

I'm missing two others. Quiney, who didnt do much sadly, and Pattinson who got hurt.

Just warming the seat for Tim Paine.

Yes. The One True King.

 

[senahorse]

What great beer weather, can't wait to get home.

JOHNSON!!!! WELCOME BACK YOU LEGEND I NEVER DOUBTED YOU!!! <3

JOHNSON!!!! WELCOME BACK YOU LEGEND I NEVER DOUBTED YOU!!! <3

Haha fuck I sure as shit did. I was so pissed when he was back in the squad. Happy to eat all the crow if he keeps this up.

Holy fuck what a follow up...

 

[pieatorium]

JOHNSON!!!! WELCOME BACK YOU LEGEND I NEVER DOUBTED YOU!!! <3

lol you don't fool me

 

[Yagharek]

I've always backed Johnson through thick and thin!

But seriously, he is on fire today. I think, when he is in form, he makes a far better test player than ODI/t20 since he has more margin for error with wides in the 5 day game.

Oh boy

Ah, by the "OT" comment I was getting it confused with the F1 thread (which is under Community in OT). I was more thinking we should go back to normal Gaming or something, but then I think I was getting confused again and we really don't need to move at all.

So fuck you all, I'm going home.

So because uplay servers are down, I can't access any menus in Far Cry 3. When I exit the menus, my character falls through the ground. This has happened to multiple people in the PC Performance thread.

Holy shit, ubisoft.

haha so awesome

 

[jambo]

It looks like there's an offline mode you can choose in uPlay, but it's still pretty shit that the menu and game fuck up that badly =\

Also, servers should be back up.

 

[Omikron]

Cricket post.

Good start to this test by the Australian bowlers.

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

I'm going to write a script that removes posts that contain the word 'cricket'.

 

[Omikron]

I'm going to write a script that removes posts that contain three word 'cricket'.

Indie games are boring. And developed by self obsessed fools.

 

[Yagharek]

While you're doing that, write one that removes posts with mentions of sydgaf or melbgaf meetups, GMG, steam and ozgameshop deals, as well as kritz.net game of the year posts.

Add wiiu also

 

[Yagharek]

Well if we're going to create an echo chamber where people can ignore things, why not.

Hell, do one for every noun in the english language.

 

[jambo]

Oh god I just thought of a great idea. Write a script to remove all posts except for mine, and ones of mine that have quotes in them get removed as well.

It'd be like the Garfield Minus Garfield comic strip.

 

[Fredescu]

Content posts good. Posts complaining about content posts bad.

 

[Rezbit]

GARRY! With a complete pie!

 

[DjRoomba]

who tha fuck likes cricket?

Safely slipped through the word filter. Top job.

 

[Yagharek]

If you did a Garfield minus Garfield plus markot strip, I wonder if that would work?

 

[markot]

I do love lasanga.

Absolutely this. Btw, I am also against content filtering, including putting people on ignore. But that is more a personal thing.

 

[Yagharek]

Excellent taste

 

[Rezbit]

Spud Johnson is back :\

 

[Lafiel]

I do love lasanga.

I had some for dinner yesterday after coming back from work. It was good!

Don't worry, there's only like three posts about the issue in both the main OT and the PC performance thread.

I also finally got around to making my script to remove the annoying little box that appears on ignored users. I also modified it to also block keywords just as a programming challenge. No desire to post that last one, though.

 

[Yagharek]

Got Virtue's Last Reward in the mail today (3DS, PAL).

It has an annoying IGN logo on the top left corner on the front. "9.5. Amazing!"

>.<

Curses!

What you really need to do is go to practically any decent bar on a Friday night.

You better not stop posting bargains in this thread. You save me having to trawl through ozgameshop etc myself.

Not even close, champ.

THE Gold Coast Titans have been hit by a fresh scandal following explosive revelations the club has hired a fetish-porn star to train their under-20s squad.

And in a further embarrassment for the NRL and the club, it can be revealed the female in question, Kortney Olson, is the wife of recently-appointed Titans chief executive David May.

The Courier-Mail has obtained a slew of offensive and pornographic material featuring Olson, a natural bodybuilder and fitness fanatic, found widely on a number of internet porn and bodybuilding websites.

At least two Titans staffers, furious at Olson joining the club a fortnight ago, have complained to Gold Coast management.

In one interview with a fitness website, Olson confirms "making fetish videos" and claims her "bisexual side ... puts a lot of stress on a person's relationship".

Some of the pictures and videos are so sexually explicit they cannot be published.

The Titans have defended the move, claiming Olson is only a volunteer and not an official employee of the club - but the ARL Commission will come under pressure to take action against the Gold Coast, which almost went broke with debts of $25 million earlier this season.

The explicit content is a major breach of the NRL's code of conduct, chiefly Sections 12 and 14, which pertain to upholding the image of the NRL and public confidence in its brand.

Olson's involvement is particularly disturbing because the NRL has made a strategic move to attract mothers and females to the sport, with the code now celebrating the Women in League round annually.

With May's knowledge, Olson was appointed assistant strength-and-conditioning coach to the Titans' under-20s side two weeks ago.

The 31-year-old American, who has competed in a number of bodybuilding competitions, also claims to work with the under-16s and under-18s outfits and Aboriginal kids as part of the Titans for Tomorrow program.
