BritGAF |OT4| - "Our Only Goal In Life Is To Become As Alpha As Possible"

Yeah I was hoping for some trully apocalyptic shit, disappointed really.

Even if it had been windy though, I'd probably have still ended up at work.

I ripped open the curtains this morning like a kid expecting snow on christmas day and it was so tame. I got a call from my mum at 8:00 saying "If you don't want to cycle I'll drive you to work!"

In my head: "m-mum stop fucking with my excuses pls"

Kind of want to go out to the shop and get a bottle of coke or something but I'm actually kind of scared that a tree might kill me.

Dapperbandit always posts stories that make me Robert Redford nod in real life.
Some motherfucker either took or broke my mug at work. Beatdowns will commence until I find out what happened to it. :O
Man that sucks. How are you going to get your coffee fix?

You're a small agile rabbit, there's no way a branch would be able to hit you.
 
What did the stern email say?

Basically to everyone on the project.

"Has anyone seen my mug this morning? It’s neither in the kitchen downstairs or upstairs.

(pic)

If you happen to have it, kindly remove anything you may have inside of it and please return it to the kitchen cupboard. If not, I will start searching desks and use "freedom" and "liberty" to release it from your clutches.

Thank you."

Also got 25 pounds for my birthday coming up from work. Woo!
 
No one here died in the storm then? Good. There was sod all up here in the Northern Kingdom anyway.
Looks like Chinner's scheme to kill the clique failed.

Also, guys, what 3DS XL colour do I get? I could get red/blue for £140, or potentially get the all black for £150?

Get the Year of Luigi one
 
My red one is purdy, blue one looks nice too.
I'm sorry, that's not helpful.

I like the red because it fits with the Nintendo thing for bright colours and Mario.
But then the blue is a little less....in your face?

But then my black DSi looks so sexy. Though am I right in thinking that the 3DS Xls bodies have a slight gloss to them compared to DSis?
 
Sorry I can't hear you over my awesome fire emblem XL.

Wish I could justify buying the Luigi or Zelda one.

I think the Zelda one looks super tacky on the inside. I'll never understand why Zelda = gold; I've always considered the series' defining colour to be an earthy green.

Love the camouflage Luigi XL though.

look, gold as the primary colour sucks OK

I'm really glad my OoT 3DS is black with gold trim, mainly because I can also pretend it's Deus Ex HR themed

yea thats why the wii u zelda game pad looks so much better than the wiimote+ i got with skyward sword. gold looks so tacky but i still like the xl
 
that new Mogwai track hnnnngggg

yea thats why the wii u zelda game pad looks so much better than the wiimote+ i got with skyward sword. gold looks so tacky but i still like the xl

Still think that Wiimote should have been the same colour as Fi. Purple and/or blue.

Back in the good old days it was all about dat gold cartridge on NES & N64. Gold gameboy just looks ugly though. I'm going through the same thing as Old Man right now trying to decide what to get. I might just grab the cheap Black Friday 3DSXLbundle and save some money.

That's my other option: wait until our crappy BF comes around, and pray for a good deal. In the mean time I've got plenty to be playing at least.

Then again with the 2DS there isn't much incentive to discount the XL, which makes me think £140-£150 isn't a terrible price.

If I was being frugal first and foremost I would totally jump on the 2DS. But...as much as I hate to be vain it's just so fucking ugly without the clamshell design. It just really bothers me to not be able to close it. I guess for the target audience it looks just like the leap pad and table shit they are used to but it just kills me.

it can look as awful as it likes, it's still the best bet for me to get atlus games in a reasonable timeframe

If you're buying a 3DS I recommend getting the one that actually has fucking stereoscopic 3D.

naw, bad gimmick

No fucks given for 3D. I've never cared about 3D in gaming and honestly have yet to see it ever be worth a damn except as a novelty/gimmick. Most people I know just turn it off except during cutscenes, no point to it if that's the case IMO.

It's neat. Enough games put it to good use (Luigi's Mansion 2 and Mario 3D Land being the prime examples) that it's worth having. Link Between Worlds looks like it's going to have some fun with the depth too.

anyway it's only one of the many reasons you shouldn't buy the Lego 3DS

yea but its dirt cheap, i could save up the money from coins i find on the floor to import one with SMTIV before that game gets a euro release

This thread is more lifeless than the plot of a quantum dream game. Just kidding I haven't played 2 souls yet. But really, what can we expect from the makers of Heavy Rain? Maybe I should break the norm on Neogaf and not talk shit about a game I've not played...

Nah. I'll rent it and experience everything it has to offer in 48 hours, guaranteed.

[note: add joke about Ellen Page breasts here]

So taking votes on the new culture of the thread. What would you guys like to discuss?

Music? Retro gaming? Food? Cat facts daily (I know jimbor would love this!)?

New Fresh Meat (C4 TV show) coming soon y'all! Hope it's better than S2 as I felt that was a weak season compared to S1

It's on 40D now, they're airing it a week earlier. Just watched it, it was ok, some good parts but not up to its great standards yet.

Do not like the new person.

I couldn't give the slightest fuck about console warzzzz but the Xbonegeddon thread is amazing.

The whole Xbongo pre-launch thing has been a fascinating car crash, Microsoft wasted their lead with the 360 by going big with Kinect and have been ruining any grace they may have had with some spectacularly bad messages and arrogance. I bought the 360 specifically for Dead Rising, but I won't be doing that this time as DR3 doesn't much look as if it's got any of what was so appealing about the first one.

This is why I love new generations, the birth of new jokes.

I was sorely disappointed Sonyboys do as Sony does and copied the competition and just reused the "No Games" thing from last gen. I'm afraid such things only work once.

So thank you Miscrosoft for unifying us all by giving us something we can all laugh at. Three cheers for the XBone, the bringer of great potential comedy for years to come.

Cool, gonna check it out tonight after work. I really enjoyed S1 and thought the show was going places but S2 felt like it was cheap Skins clone. Expectations are set to super low for S3.

New Eminem Track... I hate Rihanna.

Judging by reactions to Emeiem's new tracks his new album isn't going to be quite the Marshall Mathers LP 2 as he hyped it up to be.

I haven't listened to them myself I must admit. I'm always busy when I come across the tracks and then when I have a free moment I've forgotten about them.

It's just the PS3 repeated: previous market leader high on the sound of their own voice squanders good will by being arrogant, expensive and having bloated hardware.

I still like the look of the Wii U, as long as Ghosts isn't shit on it...

I'm going to have to find some private work this coming month, or I'm not going to be able to afford a PS4. Which I don't NEED...but I REALLY want one.

Anyone need their PC looking at?
