Speaking of, all the women screaming for Ricky Martin in the ads for The Voice DO realise he's gay, right?
|
|
|
16:01:57
|
|
|
You should see our reality shows
|
|
|
16:01:35
|
|
|
Our mockery is so similar that it's actually making me angry.
|
|
|
16:01:12

|
|
Congratulations, guys. You have absolutely ensured that should I ever find myself in Australia, I will do everything but watch Australian television.
|
|
|
16:01:07
|
|
|
Well, I think I've killed enough brain cells for tonight.
|

"Since THE BANK didn't give them the money, Jim and Sarah decided to compete on The Block, hoping to use the prize money from the hit show to start the business and set their personal renovation plans in motion."
|
|
|
15:59:33
|
|
|
"We confronted one of the tellers of the bank, seen here getting into his luxury 98 Commodore. Hey, why'd you crush Jim and Sarah's dreams? Do you enjoy shattering the hopes of ordinary Australians?"
|
|
|
15:59:30
|
|
|
"Oh... Yeah, definitely. You know... if the business took off, we were gonna do up our place."
|
|
|
15:58:01
|
|
|
"Meanwhile Sarah, who lost 20kg on a revolutionary all-cheese diet, recently succumbed to a cheese-related illness and had to be hospitalised."
|
|
|
15:57:57
|
|
|
"SO. You would say they crushed your dreams????"
|
|
|
15:57:42
|
|
|
"Ummm... Uh, they basically said... You know "You're too high risk" and, um... "We don't think you'll be able to pay it back" and... stuff like that, which is... 's just plain not true."
|
|
|
15:57:25
|
|
|
"Just like health insurance companies only reject claims for valid reasons. Like cancer costing too much to treat."
|
|
|
15:56:52
|
|
|
"So what valid reasons Did BIG BAD BANK CO. give Jim?"
|
|
|
15:56:17
|
|
|
"Uhhhh, well, I-I can't... I can't speak for this case in particular but, uhhhh, we only ever reject loans for, ummm, uhhh, valid reasons..."
|
|
|
15:55:36
|
|
|
"We spoke to a representative of BIG BAD BANK CO. to find out why."
|
|
|
15:55:09
|
|
|
"But when he went to see his bank about a loan, they turned him down."
|
|
|
15:54:50
|
|
|
"Jim explained that after years of hearing people being ripped off by tradies, he decided to pick up the hammer and try it for himself."
|
|
|
15:54:06
|
|
|
"Jim and Sarah are a loving couple from inner Sydney. They're also hot favourites to win The Block this year. They were drawn to the show because their BANK wouldn't give Jim a loan to start his renovation business."
|
|
|
15:49:57
|
|
|
Imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery in this case.
|
|
|
15:49:46
|
|
|
It's either a bank, a dodgy tradie, or cross-promotion with one of their crap shows
|
|
|
15:49:42
|
|
|
|
15:48:33
|
|
|
"Checkout chick or checkout COMPUTER, find out how THE BANKS are ripping you off when you self-serve at the supermarket."
|
|
|
15:47:26
|
|
|
If you want staff to pass you your change before you leave, GO THROUGH THE REGULAR CHECKOUT
|
|
|
15:46:54
|
|
|
"And despite record profits in the billions, YOUR BANK wants to keep the existence of the berry secret."
|
|
|
15:46:33
|
|
|
Blamed it on staff and people being horrible
|
|
|
15:44:59
|
|
|
Then: "The miracle weight-loss berry that's sweeping the world off its feet!"
|
|
|
15:44:54
|
|
|
Did they blame it on the banks?
|
|
|
15:44:09
|
|
|
Like their little sting operation at the self-service checkouts at Big W. If you're stupid enough to walk off without your substantial change, you deserve to have the next person at the thingy take it for themselves.
|
|
|
15:43:49
|
|
|
Then 6 months later, they would run a story about how banks are scrutinising the transactions of old farts to stop them from being scammed. "HOW THE BANKS ARE SEIZING CONTROL OF YOUR ACCOUNTS WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION."
|
|
|
15:42:53
|
|
|
"Banks need to do more to stop vulnerable people like the elderly from being scammed. It's not enough to just tell them that it's a scam, they need to stop approving the transactions."
|
|
|
15:42:52
|
|
|
Don't forget their reporter responding to a similar email for an illustration of how easy it is to get sucked in
|
|
|
15:41:22
|
|
|
They would spend two minutes explaining the scam and then the other 8 minutes saying things like "And despite their suspicions, his BANK STILL ALLOWED HIM TO SEND MONEY."
|
|
|
15:40:34
|
|
|
It's getting o the point where he's spent more money trying to save money than he would have had he just bought them from Epson.
|
|
|
15:39:07
|
|
|
I look forward to seeing him on A Current Affair
|
|
|
15:39:00
|
|
|
"It says Epson compatible" "Yes but there are different models of Epson printers."
|
|
|
15:38:31
|
|
|
(That has actually happened and, despite it being explained to him that it was most likely a scam, the man is still sending money.)
|
|
|
15:38:06
|
|
|
Also, my dad needs to stop trying to buy ink cartridges over the internet
|

15:37:46

"Why would anyone pretend to be a disenfranchised woman from a shitty country?"
|
|
|
15:35:05
|
|
|
"If my computer tells me it, it must be true."
|
|
|
15:30:00
|
|
|
Yup, old people love getting scammed.
|
|
|
15:29:45
|
|
|
They're targeting the elderly
|

Finally saw the movie Looper. It was good but it's a little strange seeing Joseph Gorden Levitt slightly altered to look kind of like Bruce Willis. I don't think that was necessary.

... Unless "Digital Contents Selection" is a separate thing from the Ultimate Hits release. Because then Ultimate Hits is just Square Enix's budget range.
|
|
|
12:19:19
|
|
|
There was one game, generally considered average, that did actually call it "Game of the Year Edition", but I don't remember what it was.
|
|
|
12:18:53
|
|
|
Not in terms of what they actually are, no. But usually the shittier games use a different moniker.
|
|
|
12:13:11
|
|
|
Doesn't a game have to be good or, at least successful, before it gets a GOTY edition?
|
|
|
09:52:36
|
|
|
News in the same way that... some analogy.
|
|
|
09:52:08

09:52:03

|
|

09:52:00

|
09:50:18
|
|
|
Sounds like a GOTY edition. Big whoop.
|
|
|
09:41:24
|
|
|
Also there's going to be something called 'Final Fantasy XIII-2 Digital Contents Selection'
|
|
|
09:40:58
|
|
|
But I'm pretty sure they just confirmed an Ultimate Hits Edition of XIII-2
|
|
|
09:40:39

Now I'm not a pro at Japanese

It's all about Yugioh TAS.
|
|
|
07:26:24
|
|
|
Best decision I've ever made.
|
|
|
07:26:13
|
|
|
I started watching Batman TAS again.
|
|
|
06:45:45
|
|
|
Well I think a certain incident between them involving an old man is a good allegory of why it can't work between them.
|
|
|
05:16:21
|
|
|
Gee, I guess you'll just have to stop watching
|
|
|
05:15:31
|
|
|
|
05:15:26
|
|
|
I honestly can't handle Jon and Ygritte in this show
|

"Pope also canonised Colombia's Laura di Santa Caterina da Siena Montoya y Upeguila" That's one hell of a name
|

00:55:55

And here I am, making myself dinner and about to continue painting my mural a bit more before I shower and go to bed. FML
|
|
|
00:55:04
|
|
|
Then I watched Schindler's List, which I couldn't watch during the week cuz it's 3 fucking hours long. LOL
|
|
|
00:53:35
|
|
|
I woke up at 2pm, talk about enjoying most of it.
|
|
|
00:53:23
|
|
|
|
00:51:47
|
|
|
You enjoy them so much more when they come though.
|
|

00:50:59

The joy of knowing my only free day is coming to it's end... ;;
|
|
|
20:17:52
|
|
|
Never had it as far as I can remember
|
|
|
20:05:21
|
|
|
Me neither. I just bought some from a gas station. Pretty tasty.
|
|
|
19:09:35

I haven't had chocolate milk for yonks.

Hm, so that's where that quote comes from

Capcom was being super difficult with the delivery.
|
|
|
13:22:00
|
|
|
They were still waiting for their CPS2 cabs.
|
|
|
13:15:22
|
|
|
Which, again, had it's code being carried around in a dude's pocket and not in any of the machines
|
|
|
13:15:07
|
|
|
That's probably the most unbelievable part.
|
|
|
13:14:19
|
|
|
This was an arcade 'virtual reality' game
|
|
|
13:13:05
|
|
|
PC has had patches since forever.
|
|
|
13:11:44
|
|
|
A year if it's Bethesda and never if it's Konami.
|
|
|
13:11:38
|
|
|
It was 1994, they didn't have patches
|
|
|
13:11:24
|
|
|
Oh, and the game's 'source code' is carried around on a floppy disk in a guy's pocket
|
|
|
13:11:21
|
|
|
Or months, if it happens to be an EA game.
|
|
|
13:11:11
|
|
|
Everyone knows they'd just release the game and patch it two weeks later.
|
|
|
13:10:44
|
|
|
|
13:10:19
|
|
|
We'll rewrite, then get the voice actors in to re-record their lines, then re-do all the animations on those characters, then rewrite the code so they show up in new places and THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE QUICKER AND EASIER THAN FIXING THE GLITCH
|
|
|
13:09:23
|
|
|
|
13:08:33
|
|
|
|
13:08:23
|
|
|
"There's no time to reprogram the code!" "How about I rewrite the game to remove the character who's glitching?" "Of course! That's much quicker an easier!"
|
|
|
13:07:26
|
|
|
A week before a release of a very expensive game to make, an unavoidable, game-breaking glitch is discovered 14 seconds into the first scene of the game
|
|
|
13:06:40
|
|
|
"Oh no! The phone has disrupted our node to the webernets!"
|
|
|
13:05:30

Okay, I know that TV sucks at understanding computers and video games (as an extension of computers), but Murder She Wrote just took it to a new level
