Well it looks like I've been ripped off buying ram/video card off ocau. First time I've ever had a problem. Not happy.

On a related not anyone got a cheapish video card/ddr3 ram laying around?

 

[Jables Swan]

Woo! Babbies! Hope it's nice and quick for the both of you!

Congratulations Jables.

Congratulations! First child?

Thanks guys. At the hospital getting induced. It may take a while.

Second child Arksy. A girl this time though.

Nice, one of each. Gonna lock it down now?

Are you in Sydney? I have a GTX560 that needs a new heatsink and a GTX570 with unspecified problems. Not worth the cost of postage but if you wanted to give them a try and dump them back on me if they don't work we could figure something out.

 

[Planet_JASE]

I personally went a bit car crazy recently and talked myself into buying one. Can't be financially rational 100% of the time.

Next gen or prior gen? If next gen is it backwards compatible?

I have 4Gb of HyperX gathering dust in my room and a 9800GT SOMEWHERE in the house, but that hasn't been used in years so it probably needs a clean.

Can I ask what happened? I had a mate who a similar thing happened to... was going to buy a 6990 I think, dude fucked off with his money or something (I can't remember the exact circumstances).
Apparently the guy had priors as well, according to the cops.

Favourite Melbourne House games. Let's go.

Mine is Samurai Warrior: The Battles of Usagi Yojimbo. One of the few comic adaptations that really got what the comic was about, and featured some really nice moments, too.

Here's a longplay of it.

Great soundtrack as well.

That fucking sucks.

I got done over buying a PS3 at the end of 2007 on PalGN after buying a ton of games there in the past

I STILL BLAME EATCHILDREN ENTIRELY >_<

That was $700 down the drain at a time when I was a depressed, unemployed university dropout (although technically I was forced to dropout, otherwise they were going to expel me)

 

[HolyCheck]

Here's a photo of my dogs back in Adelaide enjoying the heat!

silly little iggy and pop

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

hahah theyre adorable.

 

[Shaneus]

Well, they certainly do look like a couple of stooges. But at least they seem to have a lust for life.

 

[Jables Swan]

Shit yeah. 2 is definitely enough for me. Let's hope the wife doesn't change her mind in later years.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm up in qld.

How much are you after for the ram?

Paid for the stuff last weekend, said he'd post it Monday, got to busy to post when he said, then lost contact. And hasn't been online since.

Yeah I got fucked over about 15 years ago for some mac gear for $1200 and was in the same position (broke and at school). Though the worst bit was how incompetent the cops were. I gave them everything on a silver plater and they did nothing.

Yeah unless it's a sizable amount of money they don't give a shit. I basically had the guys address and everything after tracking him down through Bigfooty/Whirlpool/etc. Cops didn't give a shit. "Life lesson" apparently.

I bet if someone stole their donuts they would be planting asylum seeker documents on them and kicking them off to Christmas Island.

 

[Shaneus]

Paid for the stuff last weekend, said he'd post it Monday, got to busy to post when he said, then lost contact. And hasn't been online since.

That's literally exactly what happened to my friend. Said he'd gotten sick or something and didn't post it. If you want to PM me the guy's username, I'll ask my mate tomorrow and see if it's the same guy (assuming he has a history there and not only a few posts to his name).

I know he wound up approaching the cops about it, so if you have doubts, that's probably the avenue you should take as well.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

only 1.6k? I plunged 2k on a 'service' late last year.

Damn cars.

Toyota $195 capped price service XD


Mercury went up to 46 near Werribee, around 48 in Geelong. Shane you okay?

 

[Fredescu]

Toyota $195 capped price service XD

Only for the first three years.

 

[Mondy]

Okay, that's fucking weird.

Why is Origin downloading at 114mb/s on my shitty 12mb copper ADSL line?

I personally went a bit car crazy recently and talked myself into buying one. Can't be financially rational 100% of the time.

Are you a crazy 2 car family?

Only for the first three years.

Yerp.

~23-24 year old car has large costs. You just accept them or get rid of it.

 

[dishwasherlove]

Just beat The Last Express and it has to be said that Jordan Mechner is a genius. Pity it bankrupt the company and the sequel alluded to was never produced. Just found out he wrote a graphic novel about the Knights Templar and I'm going to check it out.

 

[Fusebox]

Thanks guys. At the hospital getting induced. It may take a while.

Second child Arksy. A girl this time though.

Wow man, gratz on the second rugrat and I hope the procedure goes super-smooth.

Okay, that's fucking weird.

Might be scanning a local cache. Did you partially download it before?

Yeah it's ridiculous. Though what can you do.

Thanks for the offer, have contacted other people who have dealt with him recently.

It's backwards compatible. That's how I get it out of the driveway each day.

Are you a crazy 2 car family?

Yep! I shudder to think of the child care late fees otherwise.

I'm a mod over there, but only in the musical instrument for sale forum, so if anyone ever rips you off on an electric guitar you come to me man and I'll get it sorted.

 

[Dryk]

How much are you after for the ram?

As much as it costs to ship it to you. I only got rid of my previous set of sticks when a friend's blew up. So realistically I'm going to keep them until they're so old I throw them out or until there's an emergency. I'm just happy I might be able to free up the space in my room now instead of a few years from now.

 

[Rlan]

Oh SHIT this is awesome! Thank you!!

In other news, I got this in the mail today:

Can't wait to crack it open during lunch. Gaming history books are tops. Can't wait to start writing mine

Hmm, still waiting for my copy :/

Who keeps a car for more than 3 years?

 

[evlcookie]

Looks like episode 6 of genius is out.

Hype!

nice! gotta finish watching episode 5 though.

people buy new cars? :s

 

[Fredescu]

Your depreciation cost is far greater than any saving on servicing.

I had a dream there was a new AusGAF thread already. The banner was pretty crappy.

Thanks, though my last guitar sale went without a hitch.

Much appreciated. You have a pm.

Peasants, that's who. Damn filthy peasants.

Did you wake up in a pool of sweat screaming "Holy!"?

 

[Gazunta]

hide & seek but it's pretty universal.

Took me until this morning to get the joke, but bravo. Bravo.

Gaz, maybe its not meant to be. Maybe you should save up for something with better long term prospects, like a vita or a Wii U or a

Spoiler

Mazda

Either way, i know how badly you wanted that thing.

Spoiler

i just dont know why you want one so badly

Ha! Yeah there's been a couple of times along the way where I've been tempted to just go fuck it and buy a Vita.

Spoiler

Still waiting for Minter's new game to come out for it

And - I know this is gonna probably sound stupid - but I crave a Surface Pro 2 for one reason only, and that's so I can make comics anywhere, any time, using real equipment. Drawing on the iPad sucks, no pressure sensitivity in the stylus and the tools feel really limited compared to Photoshop. Drawing on the wife's Netbook with a Wacom tablet sucks, it's like trying to write a book when you can only see three letters on the screen. Even drawing on my desktop machine in the mancave has its drawbacks, mainly that the mancave is a fucking hotbox most of the time or I just want to sit on the couch with the one hour a day I get to chill out with the wife.

Also, it'll let me continue working on comics during my lunch break, which would be a whole extra hour a day I get to be productive!

Spoiler

as opposed to the other 8 hours a day I spend at work, doing, uh, not much

Ah well, part of being a grown up and all that, or something

Anyone here played Broken Age yet? Can't be arsed swimming through the main gaming thread.

 

[Stackboy]

Do you mind me asking why you were going to be expelled?

 

[Planet_JASE]

My money is on "continued sexual harassment of the campus ducks."

 

[Danoss]

Hype!

Damn right!

I had to wait for the non-streaming version. No real reason other than I prefer it.

 

[codswallop]

My money is on "continued sexual harassment of the campus ducks."

The ducks at Deakin Geelong are jerks.

 

[Planet_JASE]

So they had it coming to them?

Oh dear, blaming the victims. I expected more from you, cods...

 

[codswallop]

So they had it coming to them?

Oh dear, blaming the victims. I expected more from you, cods...

I'm not blaming them, I'm just not shedding any tears for them.

Also, maybe they're jerks because of what happened. Doesn't change the fact they're still jerks.

Jerks.

 

[ClivePwned]

I am poor and I procrastinate

fair enough.

Though sometimes, It's good to have an excuse to not 'be productive.'

I have to lock my iPad away when I'm watching a good movie otherwise I just browse useless shit and miss half the film.

 

[Gazunta]

HAHAH. True.

 

[Shaneus]

Hey Gaz, did you get my email about my other suggestion? It only came to me after watching a video from CGR on it, but I'd completely forgotten about the game and thought it might make decent fodder (possibly with a tie-in to Action Fighter? Who knows!)

 

[Gazunta]

Oh yeah sorry! I need to lock down which one I'm doing for you tonight so I'll figure something out

 

[roosters93]

I discovered a thread on SA about the show. They've got a bunch of people who love the show as much as we do.

Excellent. I read a bit more spoilery stuff about ep6 but not the full on spoilers. Will be home from work watching the genius in T - minus 3 hours.

You should make a neogaf thread about the genius!

Took me until this morning to get the joke, but bravo. Bravo.

:3
Twas the only contribution I could make having never played any of their games! (And we all know that not contributing is not an option)

 

[Rahk]

Yeah, The Genius deserves a GAF thread.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Drawing on the wife's Netbook with a Wacom tablet sucks, it's like trying to write a book when you can only see three letters on the screen

Love this analogy! I fucking hate feeling closed in when trying to be creative, really stifling and takes you out of your head

Do you mind me asking why you were going to be expelled?

Well, I was enrolled at uni and living at uni but I wasn't actually going to uni. We would roll down the hill from residences to get some greasy wing dings and chocolate milk by 11am or so but that was as close as we would get to the lecturing arenas.
Until the afternoons when we would roll back down the hill to the bar next to caf for beers of course. So technically that's twice a day I was close to doing uni work.

Fun times! :/

My money is on "continued sexual harassment of the campus ducks."

Nah those ducks are fucking prudes. Plenty of other wildlife to chase around the campus anyway!

 

[jambo]

Who do I contact about mod abuse?

I am appalled.
