Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I waited for two and a half hours in Centrelink today to hand in a form. First I had to stand in line to tell them I had a form, then they put me in the line for people with a form to hand in. It took thirty seconds to hand in the form, then I got a kebab.
I was yelled at for coming in to work on-time because nobody else had done so and there were problems. Before I left for work I got paged for someone else's issue... then I spent all day resolving an issue with a change because nobody thought about the cases where the what was going out was invalid. :<
oh god. my upstairs neighbour is away until thursday, and we're looking after her cat. I've been up to visit/pat him twice tonight, because he's a sweet old cat and I don't want him to get too lonely. I can't bring him down to my apartment though, as he really doesn't like my dog, and my dog really likes to inspect any living thing that enters the apartment.
I can hear him through the floor, yowling pathetically.
In my heart I am a writer, it is my brain that is holding me back.

today i got a horrible film-tie-in copy of wake in fright, which i must read immediately so i can trick people into thinking i'd read it before the movie came out. apparently it's one of those australian heavyweights i never got around to. i am wallowing in a secret shame
more triumphantly, i got a 1944 copy of monkey for ten bucks. it's the kind of old, oranged book you're afaid to open because of the power it might contain. if not because the pages will probably fall out.

Since its release Wake In Fright has developed a reputation as Australia’s great lost film, as its unavailability on video or DVD and its absence from television screens has meant that it has been little seen since its release. However, this has changed, as a digital re-release of the film was premiered in Sydney on 27th June 2009.
this is all very good, but for the fact that I have watched this movie somehow. we covered the first half hour fairly extensively in a screenwriting class I took years ago. how is this possible?
I made my first crit post in the AC. It was scary and exciting all in one and do you think they will like me? I'm not an artist though but it wasn't really an artist thread I took out a Hemingway reference because I thought you guys would make fun of me if you ever came across the post and
hey look
new chat thread.
This one smells nice. Remember how I kept telling you at the beginning of the last one to stop farting into the upholstery? Remember how you didn't listen? Remember how every time you posted it spread everywhere like throwing a sponge filled with baby powder against a wall?

Try to keep this one clean.
Do it for Tak.
You're probably kidding about the fart thing. But the driver's seat in my car disagrees with you.
I knew not what I did!
On a serious note though, is anyone interested in putting together a card or something for tak? I was thinking that people could just scan their forum handles and maybe even real names and we could collage them all together to look like a card you get on your birthday at work. Anyone interested?
In every re-org, there seems to be at least one team that gets completely bent over the conference table and sodomized to with in inches of it's job role.
Also I am leaving D&D forever (again) because some bright spark is telling me that the random presence of wrecking-ball testicle-lookalikes in Transformers 2 is excusable and hilarious because they're not really testicles.

Just. Just no. No, I am never going back there.

This is not actually Patrick -- it is the wife, posting on his behalf with a note that he won't be online much for the next little while, as he broke his shoulder this afternoon. We were ice skating at a young friend's birthday party -- he was skating with the Bud, they slipped, and he did a heroic "twist yourself around to keep your kid from falling" maneuver, landing hard on his elbow. This apparently jammed his arm up into the end of his collarbone, so one or the other is chipped. Or something. Not entirely sure yet.
Ed, Ed, Ed. So the presence of sexy Decepticons caused your critical faculties no distress, but the balls were too much?
I think someone's hiding something
I enjoyed Revenge of the Fallen as a horrible mess with some astonishingly good bits scattered here and there, though I am painfully aware that opinion puts me in a distinct minority.
<AtlusParker> Sorry I'm playing Pokemon and vomiting at the same time so I'm not following the conversation in a linear fashion.
yea, that may be somewhat of an exaggeration due to personal experiences involving hurt collarbones because they hurt in such awful ways and there is no rest from the pain when it acts up.
edit: you can take out "horrible" and replace it with "bad."
@Revenge of the Fallen talk: I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard mostly negative things about it. Since I like bad movies, my opinion is on hold.
Even though I hate the characters that Shia LaBeouf plays most of the time. He seems like a pretty good actor and all, but he's pigeonholed into that one role: Normal fidgety dude + extraordinary situation X. I heard he was great in Holes.
I will say this for Transformers 2 it has some badass Robot fight scenes. Unfortunately it had the genre conventions of every other form of blockbuster movie as well jammed together. It has two awful buddy comedies, an Indiana Jones adventure, Army movie, and poorly explained sci-fi all at once. It's almost impressive in its scope, but not execution.

Yea, the fights were awesome is the compliment. Everything else sucked /was filler was the negative.
Also the twins were bad?
edit: I've seen pictures of their faces, and read rants online about how racist they were, but I don't think it was that bad considering one of the people who said the movie was nice and took their son to see it was of the race that would be offended, I'd guess.

takryris is a reg here... he works for bioware and recently finished a novel and suffered a horrible injury while being a hero, of course. :U

It has been a busy week for Celebrity Charon and his Stretch Styx-Boat.
Thank you, Rubacava!
you're right, i'd been temporarily replaced by an imposter, alike in every way but for his terrible opinions
wait
what? what happened?
