Chocobos reptile dunno, really liked chocobos in FFVII and that was that. I was first called Cloud :|

thought that was lame, liked chocobo now choc

Lol. Yeah I loved ff7 too. Took on cloudbreaker as my online name for a while... fucking lame. Even used a moody picture of cloud as an avatar. Ah, to be young again.

 

[Gazunta]

Thanks guys, as it turns out I'm 20 points short of buying a game, and couldn't be fucked paying for more points right now

Choc I would follow.

 

[Fogz]

I would totes follow choc

 

[elfinke]

8for now. Poor Mathews is being hung out to dry in the 90's by his lower order. I hope he gets his maiden century before we wrap this game up.

 

[snoopen]

What's with the thread title? Goverment?

 

[Choc]

hey

vodafone is going to be offering ipad 2 on subsidised plans like the iphone

bout time apple tried this tbh

 

[Omikron]

Politics too plesse.

Could I ask the origin story of Choc and the use of the Chocobo?

Damn Twitter. Forcing ys back to original usernames.

 

[Neverender]

What's with the thread title? Goverment?

A play on the Star Wars title. Calling the Goverment a 'No Hope Government'.

I think.


Also has anyone have had to have an ipad with shattered glass repaired/replaced?

EatChildren must have found the spelling mistake funny

Ok, all I need is for Carlton to win and this becomes a perfect day.

- Passed my first CCNA test.
- Swans win.
- Australia wins.

Now, if Carlton win, the Swans get a home final. Don't stuff it up, Blues!

Don't forget the Eagles win .

 

[Yagharek]

Its just down to percentages isn't it? If Saints win, that is.

We didn't beat up on Brisbane enough.

Looks like you should be fine. Also you didn't just pass your test, you smashed it man.

Cowboy Bebop night for ausgaf!

Fire up your DVD's! we start at 9pm AEST! Steam chat for teh discussions

yes we're that cool on a saturdaynight

 

[Gazunta]

I was just about to pop in the Steam chat and hang out a bit, now I think I'll pass

My only memory of Cowboy Bebop is in my first week of QA one of the fellow new recruits decided to watch Cowboy Bebop instead of working and he was shocked that we weren't cool enough to watch it too.

He didn't last a month.

 

[HolyCheck]

Oh god what have I done

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Stay away from Vodafone. I recently employed the TIO's help to get out of a contract with Vodafail. Their network and customer service are so abysmal that it makes Telstra almost look good.

 

[Kritz]

Cowboy Bebop is the single greatest Anime ever created. Great music, animation and self-contained stories as well as a great overall narrative.

 

[codswallop]

At Incheon airport in Seoul waiting for a connecting flight. It's quite warm here.

Had kimchi beef. Was pretty good. Watched some people moving a grand piano. In the airport. Not for transit.

Seems couples wearing matching tops is a thing around these parts.

Oh fuck yes! The family are about to get back but I'll put the soundtrack on in the background of de3 though! Love the Remix release DVD's! Might even watch the movie. I even had them and Gungrave set aside from the boxes of DVD's I dumped in the shed since I never use them anymore because I knew I would want to rewatch them soon.

Death Note disagrees.

well yes

but it means telstra and optus will, in other words apple is letting the telcos do this now

 

[Echoplx]

I generally watch anime subbed because most dubbing sucks ass, is cowboy bebop an exception?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

I for one think Tablets are useless and a waste of money. Smartphones can do everything a tablet can, and a laptop > tablet for portable computing.

 

[codswallop]

Tablets are great for media and other content consumption. Particularly in bed or on the couch. Laptops are good for content creation and phones are good mainly for frequent short bursts of usage.

They all have their good points and uses.

 

[markot]

I dont get the point of cameras on tablets though >.< everyone tends to have mobiles with better camers, and their smaller frame is much more suited to photo taking!

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

No wonder the current generation is so lazy.

 

[markot]

So you never surf the net or somesuch or somethings on your smart phone in bed or on the couch or whatnots?!

 

[Choc]

if you travel a lot tablets are amazing

so convenient

 

[codswallop]

I love the fact that they're instantly 'on', whereas with a laptop you have to wait, even with hibernation. Plus, they generally last a lot longer on a single charge than laptops.

Why get up when entertainment can come to you?

But seriously, you guys need to try out Machinegun Jetpack if you haven't already. Those beautiful Aussie's at Halfbrick have done it again.


Oh, and I also popped myself onto the end of the twitter list. I rant occasionally about idiots while I'm moderating news comments - it keeps me sane:

Death Note disagrees.

said the single greatest anime, not the single greatest half of an anime.

 

[Fogz]

Yeah I really liked death note but it really went too long.

I should really check out this cowboy bebop though by the sounds of things...(haven't really been into anime)

Jetpack Joyride?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Yes, but smartphones are convenient whereas tablets are cumbersome. To each his own, I guess.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Yeah well, that's true. I recently watched Gantz, I enjoyed it in the beginning but it just got weird towards the end.

I want to play it but I don't have Apple stuff. What do I do? Love Raskulls.

 

[bodyboarder]

Ugh. First time I buy a DVD in AGES and I'm punished with not only an anti-piracy trailer that cannot be skipped, but due to being a dodgy NTSC->PAL conversion, all the voices in the commentary are high-pitched.

That will teach you for buying a dvd.

Also this weeks futurama wasn't too bad, only one episode to go though for the season

 

[Choc]

alright lets try this twitter thing

@chocaus

 

[mandiller]

Jetpack Joyride?

err yeah. That's the one. I was under the impression it was called Machinegun Jetpack for some reason.

 

[Kritz]

Yeah well, that's true. I recently watched Gantz, I enjoyed it in the beginning but it just got weird towards the end.

Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Baccano. Maybe some Trigun and Death Note if you're starved for more.

You are now done with anime as a medium.

 

[hamchan]

Watch Honey and Clover and the new Evangelion movies too. Rurouni Kenshin as well, though the manga is probably better.

Now you are done.

 

[Rahk]

I generally watch anime subbed because most dubbing sucks ass, is cowboy bebop an exception?

Yes.

The only anime I've seen where I'm happy to watch dubbed.

Watch Honey and Clover and the new Evangelion movies too. Rurouni Kenshin as well, though the manga is probably better.

Now you are done.

Honey and Clover is great!

 

[Kritz]

I refuse to believe Evangelion to be palatable in any form. I really, really disliked the anime. Or maybe it was just the ending to the anime. It's hard to recall.

Fucking text slideshows.

It was the ending you hated. Like 90% of the series is good robot vs monster action with emo kids then they suddenly add all this crazy bullshit that nobody can understand at the end.

 

[markot]

Anime? Oh yeah, that thing that makes Hey Hey its Saturday look like great entertainment!






Buuuuuuuuuuuuuurn!

What the hell happened to hey hey anyway? It came back, now its gone? I hate it but I thought there was this huge 'Oh its back yay families!' thing >.>?

 

[jambo]

The move is done, just need to unpack and put away a tonne of stuff now.

Hooked my PC up yesterday and it wouldn't get past the Windows 7 "Starting Windows" screen. Unplugged all but the system drive and it works. Looks like one of my drives is playing silly buggers.

Awesome!


EDIT: And I missed the fucking thread roll-over :<

 

[Frawdder]

What the hell happened to hey hey anyway? It came back, now its gone? I hate it but I thought there was this huge 'Oh its back yay families!' thing >.>?

I think the 10 year gap clouded some people's memories and when it returned everyone was all "Oh, yeah, this show is complete garbage. Who wanted this back?"

 

[Ydahs]

It wasn't meant to be.
