Want some interesting trivia/game developer facts? The guys behind it (Indie Built) evolved from
Access Software
, those geniuses that created
World Class Leaderboard golf, Links, as well as the entire TEX MOTHERFUCKING MURPHY SERIES. That's Mean Streets (my personal fave, loved it on my XT), Martian Memorandum, Killing Moon, Overseer and Pandora Directive. Also, Crime Wave (which was slow as shit on said XT, but the dithered EGA graphics and PC speaker speech blew me away.

Has anyone noticed that the part of AusGAF that doesn't actually post in AusGAF is mega douchey?

I wouldn't say that, assuming you were referring to me as part of that group. Everytime I've wandered in here for a look around, it reminds me of the odorous atmosphere of the old Hyperactive forums, and others times, an IRC chat room.

I don't even think we've even had anything to do with each other before, nor are we both regulars in any of the same threads, so not sure what your issue is.

Unless, of course, you don't like that I call out Salazar all the time when he talks bollocks, which is often.

Good thing that odorous atmosphere is kept to one thread.

Jeez, this thread is a good example of why OT gaf is silly. People pretending to understand the OP's girlfriend more than the OP and the OP digging themselves a hole created by people over reacting and twisting their words. It would be entertaining if so many people in there weren't being serious. If my gf let a random dude into the house I would be a little concerned, just the same as if I did. Especially if it was for stupid shit like an unwanted magazine subscription.

Yeah, I was following that too. Typical 'storm in a teacup' reaction from OT GAF.

Not that I know anything about relationships, but I don't see anything wrong with what he (initially) said.

Played Sonic Generations for around 3 hours tonight. shit is good! Physics will take getting used to but is fairly solid. Orchestral remixes of the songs are great and the new take on each post level for the other version of Sonic is done well.

But fuck sky sanctuary for new sonic. Died like 7 times. Also the clues got how to defeat Shadow were fucking vague. Hint: tap the shit out of dash when you get near enough to shadow after getting the meteor shards.

Best looking 3D game I've played (based only on the demo).

Will probably buy it because of it.

Go back and read the thread again. Detective Gaf wins the day.

Read spoiler below if you wish to ruin M.Night Shyamalan twist.

OP is the salesman and a massive troll

Despite the outcome, I agree. I was going to say "most" are okay on here, but with such a vocal few(?) being so fucking vocal and so fucking presumptuous and douchey, it's hard to tell what percentage of regular posters here are good and others are just socially maladjusted. Like that thread about the pretentious movie watcher.

I'd wager that at any time of the day, you could find a thread in OT on the first page where there's at least one (likely multiple, though) posters who completely take everything the wrong way if they feel that their posts are even remotely questioned or queried.

Really, REALLY makes my fucking blood boil. Thank goodness I never have to deal with people like that (at least, not for too long) either IRL or AusGAF <3

Goldblum was incredible. Not a massive fan of Sarah Silverman but she was funny. Sorbet scene was amazing.

Her acting is always so-so, but a pottymouth on someone who looks so, dare I say, adorable, is such a massive turn-on. Cute... and ridiculously fucking hot.

Really? i'm all for potty humour, but her shows always seem so... contrived so... forced? something about them just never clicked for me.

I had indeed read it. My comment was more directed at all the posters who ran with their own agenda rather than what the OP said. Also the OP was a moron and certainly didn't add much positive conversation to GAF. Bottom line is that he didn't say anything wrong and that people were insinuating that he treats his gf like shit going by the contents of the OP. If people keep acting like royal douchebags whenever anyone says anything we will get a lot less genuine posts on GAF and more troll bait.

I thought he explained it well enough with random guy, bad neighbourhood and her buying something she didn't want. We don't let anyone in the house we don't know either, charity cases can wait at the door while I find some change and door to door salesmen can just shove on. I don't want anyone scoping the joint out since I have already had stuff stolen in the middle of the day in what certainly had to be a planned break in. I also worry since my child and partner at home where I can't protect them, which also goes both ways with her not being able to protect me while I am at work.

Same, never found her funny or attractive (not saying she is ugly, just not for me) but I remember actually thinking to myself one day that she was funny in something, because it was so rare. No idea what it was unfortunately, most likely something completely out of character.

No need to get annoyed by it, the world is full of people who are so varied that a lot of us will never get along. Best just to say you don't agree with them and ignore them unless they are likely to open their minds and think of others a bit more.

GAF hypocrisy astounds me. Everyone who hated Oblivion for it's combat is loving Skyrim for it's combat. THEY'RE THE SAME FOR FUCKS SAKE!

Not really. The hand changes and the perk system make it at least a little different. It is functionally very similar though, point at enemy and mash click or hold down click while trying to dodge their attacks.

The guy treats his girlfriend like a retard, but why are you dragging this debate to AusGaf?

The discussion I was bringing up was more on how random people on the internet some how know a dude and his girl friend better than he does. Internet experts. He never said she was a moron. My point was that some people on gaf love to assume things and some people love to see nothing more than a pile on. This kind of mind set is prohibitive to actually have helpful discussions.

He told her not to let anybody into the house when hes not there. Imagine if your girlfriend said that to you. Not to mention the fact he's a fake-thread creating retard.

Question remains, why drag the debate into this thread when it already has it own thread?
