42.4 in the city? Damn. All the heat radiating from the concrete would feel really great.

Oh man, you have my pity! No airconditioning sucks balls. Please tell me you at least have a fan?
My parents have set up a blow up pool so we can stay cool. Plus we have a brick house that doesn't heat up too much...

That's not a bad idea. Bloke who owns the house has a fish pond out the back that would work... too much slimy algae and fish though. If tomorrow is as hot as today I might be tempted anyway lol. And yeah, got a fan, makes too much noise when trying to sleep though. Later today I think I will be heading to bunnings for a new one. Too hot at the moment. Catch 22?

How's the job hunt going?

Poorly. Still too proud to apply for a shit job, still too underqualified for a good one, and my most recent job lacking a referee probably ain't helping. Oh well. When I get my security license approved it should be fine, just need to survive till then. Could be 6 months, which means maybe 5 months to go :/

Do you use Untappd? I'm not usually an app person, but I'm enjoying chronicling my beer expeditions.

I do, I'll PM you my details. If you get to Osaka, there's a nice little brewpub (Tachibana), it's on Shinsaibashi and can be a bit tough to find being in the 2nd or 3rd floor in the basement of a building next to, IIRC, a kabuki theatre. I hear good things about Beer Belly there too.

Ouch. I'm on the other side :-\ Do you know any other places maybe around Coburg area?
Click to expand...
You could try the Valley Cellar Door in that area. There's also Blackhearts and Sparrows. The great thing about Blackhearts and Sparrows is that it's right near Alehouse Project (and Temple)!

unblock-us.com is probably the easiest, quickest and most reliable service I've used. $4.99 a month.

With iOS, you need to make a US iTunes account and log in to that account, at which point you can download US apps.

Does the same thing work with Android?

Finished Assassin's Creed 4. As someone who was really tired of the series when Revelations came out and despised 3, AC4 was a pretty great game.

Really liking the Nexus 5, as my first smartphone since the iPhone 4. Also liking Android quite a bit more than iOS.

I did this to download a Japanese game. I used a VPN but I'm not sure if that was entirely necessary. Would probably be easiest to just get the apk like cookie said though.

GT6 now has bigger, better designed payouts than even GT5 had.

Def grabbing this, a PS3 and a wheel for my Dad early next year.

Any advice on beginner wheels for GT that don't cost an arm and a leg? Would also like to know the best way to setup the whole thing. Not sure if he will be laying down or sitting up for the majority of his recovery time. He also gets to be a cyborg! Not really, should be bio-bladder rather than neo-bladder, doesn't make sense lol. Since he is young and fit he doesn't have to carry a bag of piss around with him though, even if it isn't cybernetic :(

ALSO I BOUGHT SOME DAMN HEALTHY SNACKS >_<

Although these Woolworths Select brand Savoury BBQ Soy Crisps & Almonds have a ton monounsaturated fat in them. Taste fucking awesome though! Usually $4 for 200g but were on clearance for $1.60. Trying to keep under $1/100g if possible.
Also Aldi had salted mixed nuts cheap, again they are high in MUSF though (as it shall hence forth be known). They also have a pretty damn awesome seeds & sultanas mix that is fucking delicious, while actually being damn healthy (although PUSF is high!?!?).

Yay healthy eating :/

Logitech DFGT is a great beginners wheel if said person isn't looking to get into it super heavily.

I actually have a DFGT I never use anymore since I got my G27, you could have it for next to bugger all (it's not doing anything at the moment, and it has a sweet mod so it has proper gear paddles rather than just the buttons). Unless you'd want to get something for him new, but if that's not a thing, have a think about it :)

No worries! I'll keep that in mind if I think about doing a spring clean or something.

Can't guarantee I even have the box for it (pretty sure I do) but obv. I'd make sure it comes with as much stuff as I got with it. Given it was from an upgrade and not because it broke, it should still be 100% working :)

Chronicles of Riddick reminds me a lot of Singularity.

B-tier teams given a AAA budget to go wild.

All the little touches are amazing. Like in CoR how when the
ambassador dude who a furyan (Purifier apparently) bursts into flames from the intense sunlight, he gets back up halfway through, showing his fighting spirit that remained under the necromonger conditioning
.

The world they created is definitely the most fleshed out and remarkable I've seen in sci fi for YEARS. It felt foreign while still having influences from human history, felt lived in while still retaining that adventurous element. It seemed rich with stories and experiences to draw upon. Really impressed with all the sets/costumes as well as the majority of the special effects.

Plenty of rough edges to it. Noticed quite a bit more ADR than I usually pickup, not to mention some dodgy writing.

All in all it was an amazing movie. Not sure why it gets such a bad rap. As a fan of the first movie I enjoyed the fresh direction it took, I'm now really looking forward to seeing how the 3rd movie turned out!

That RPG satisfaction of taking a weak character and making him strong, distilled into an hour match.
+
Huge variety of characters and items means that the game can be played for thousands of hours without any match being the same.
+
The large amount of skill needed to play the game.

the apppeal of Dota 2?

It has almost all of the prerequisites of a game for people with a need to feel superior.

-PC Only
-Valve
-High Skill level
-Playerbase hostile to new blood.

if only it could add pretentious aspiration to be considered art rather than fun, it would be the perfect game
there is no spoiler. so meta.

But I'm glad people enjoy them, even If I don't. I think I'm on the wrong forum.
