I believe she described circumference and I was supposed to name it.
00:16:04 Agent Dunham
I think too far outside the goddamn motherfucking box.
00:16:02 Death Penalty
So yeah, I guess I'd brave the spiders.
00:16:01 Singularity
vvv
00:15:55 Singularity
Met up with a girl who's living in Australia the other week when she was visiting and her tan made me weep inside.
00:15:50 Agent Dunham
She prefaced it with "It's probably too easy for you to figure out", but I was still embarrassed.
00:15:38 Death Penalty
Also Australian accents are cute as hell.
00:15:17 Dora
I'm almost as white as my white friends.
00:14:55 Agent Dunham
... In year 7, my teacher asked me a really easy question. I could not answer it.
00:14:36 Dora
Fuck that shit.
00:14:33 Singularity
I'm vaguely tan right now, last week's been nice.
00:14:29 Jake
The US sucks. But at least we don't have... uh. I dunno.
00:14:26 Dora
No.
00:14:14 Singularity
Probably.
00:14:05 Death Penalty
The boobs might be worth the spiders.
00:13:37 Agent Dunham
But your pommy white skin would turn a disturbing shade of red during our summers.
00:13:28 Dora
But then again, I suppose you're being put under pressure...
00:13:22 Death Penalty
That e was a fucking accident and I don't want to hear a thing about it.
00:13:12 Agent Dunham
It rained all night, so there goes the "sunshine all the time" theory.
00:13:08 Singularity
The UK sucks but at least we have no dangerous animals.
00:13:08 Death Penalty
However, their women are particularly busty as worldwide averages goe.
00:13:00 Dora
I watched a few episodes of Family Feud (which I know as Family Fortunes) today, I was like, "These people are fucking idiots."
00:12:56 Singularity
True.
00:12:48 Death Penalty
And they have no chili dogs.
00:12:39 Death Penalty
The spiders are terrifying.
00:12:06 Singularity
Sunshine all the time, shorts and tank tops errday.
00:11:57 Singularity
Australia's the shit.
00:11:36 Agent Dunham
As someone who secretly wants to be an American, it makes me feel closer to youuuuu...
00:11:14 Singularity
Not worth the price for Halo 4. I'll get it again when the next Spartan Ops season's out.
00:10:44 Singularity
Stopped paying for LIVE after I got a PS3.
00:10:40 Agent Dunham
But I do like Hulu ads because they are American and therefore interesting.
00:10:18 Jake
what you're paying for by paying for Live gold.
00:10:08 Agent Dunham
Please run the SGIO insurance ad instead of telling me about whatever dodgy shit website is trying to peddle its cheap wares.
00:09:55 Jake
Gold is such a ripoff.
00:09:31 Agent Dunham
Oh, but I hate those popup ones on YouTube.
00:09:15 Agent Dunham
But they have to be at the start.
00:08:51 Agent Dunham
I just mute and do something else for 15-90 seconds.
00:08:35 Agent Dunham
Video ads are fine, depending on my mood.
00:07:51 Singularity
What bothers me is being expected to pay for online only to be bombarded by loads of ads. One or the other please.
00:07:38 Jake
Preach.
00:07:19 Singularity
Netflix and Piratebay. Who needs cable/satellite?
00:07:03 Death Penalty
The 360's ads don't bother me at all.
00:07:00 Agent Dunham
Autoplay ads are okay, as long as there's only one and it's automatically muted.
00:06:42 Death Penalty
But otherwise, I can easily ignore ads.
00:06:35 Death Penalty
I don't like ads that interrupt what I'm doing.
00:06:29 Dora
Obligatory I-hate-you-all post.
00:06:28 Jake
I don't even watch television anymore. So I don't know all the dumb commercials by heart like I used to.
00:06:21 Agent Dunham
Background ads if they differ dramatically from the site's colour scheme.
00:06:07 Agent Dunham
Banner ads.
00:06:01 Agent Dunham
I can't stand ads on TV because they ruin the rhythm.
00:05:58 Dora
I need to get on removing Adblock for this place actually...
00:05:58 Lymle
I used to be taller than most kids, now I'm just average :c
00:05:40 Agent Dunham
Depends on the ad.
00:05:27 Agent Dunham
Their limit is 4'3", I was probably past that by the time I was 8.
00:05:07 Jake
Bless Adblock.
00:05:02 Singularity
I remember when every girl was taller than me. I was a short child.
00:04:37 Singularity
lol
00:04:36 Death Penalty
Ads don't bother me as much as they bother other people.
00:04:34 Dora
00:04:30 Dora
Suddenly, targeted advertising.
00:04:10 Agent Dunham
And all I could think was how I was a tall child.
00:03:55 Agent Dunham
I did see that, actually.
00:03:53 Dora
You know, different angles and such.
00:03:34 Dora
They have lenticular printing or something, so shorter children will see different messages than taller adults.
00:03:25 Agent Dunham
Third gen curse looming.
00:03:20 Singularity
If you compare launch 360 to current 360... well, AdBox.
00:02:59 Singularity
It's sad how much the Xbox went downhill.
00:02:26 Jake
Well, that has to be done when most of your AAAAAAAAAAA games are sub par.
00:02:10 Dora
Have you guys seen that thing with the Spanish child abuse posters?
00:01:20 Agent Dunham
Apparently marketing budgets are fucking ridiculous at the moment.
00:01:00 Jake
The 360 dashboard with its ads is disgraceful.
00:00:42 Death Penalty
Ah, I see what you mean then.
00:00:20 Agent Dunham
Social networking is the key progenitor.
00:00:04 Dora
Which is actually illegal here on television, so I'm not sure if that'd translate into games.
00:00:02 Agent Dunham
Instead of paying for ad spots, just being able to feed it to people directly.
23:59:19 Dora
Wooo, product placement.
23:59:15 Death Penalty
Direct advertising?
23:59:08 Death Penalty
The closer you climb towards $100 for a game the more you drive people away. I see absolutely no good excuse to raise prices for this generation.
23:58:58 Agent Dunham
Direct advertising will be the next game changer.
23:57:23 Death Penalty
If they raise prices too much more, more people will just learn to pirate or buy less games.
23:57:15 Jake
That would require the mega publishers to actually innovate, though.
23:56:28 Dora
I suppose you could justify the need for money in order to innovate and develop new technologies, but eh.
23:56:04 Agent Dunham
"But... more money..." Bobby Kotick mutters, as he laments the fact that his total income didn't surpass $70 million for the second year in a row.
23:55:14 Death Penalty
That doesn't mean they won't do it anyway, though. I'll admit that.
23:54:16 Death Penalty
As I just said, digital distribution SHOULD erase any need to raise prices.
23:53:13 Dora
At the end of the day games are a business, and companies kinda expect yearly growth, so...
23:53:04 Agent Dunham
I watched all four seasons over a week and now I have nothing.
23:52:25 Agent Dunham
You just don't see successful games subsidising experiments these days.
23:51:57 Dora
But in order for games to be profitable, the only choice would be to raise prices, if we assume the consumer base isn't going to grow much.
23:51:56 Death Penalty
But I want to reiterate that it makes me so very happy that you seem to like Archer.
23:51:44 Death Penalty
Also, this is way off-topic.
23:51:29 Agent Dunham
I need to see it to believe it. ;;
23:51:06 Death Penalty
I'M JUST TRYING TO BRING SUNSHINE INTO YOUR LIFE.
23:50:44 Death Penalty
More games being profitable arguably benefits consumers as well.
23:50:42 Agent Dunham
Now I am being bleak.
23:50:10 Agent Dunham
I was talking about consumers.
23:49:41 Agent Dunham
I don't even think that's the correct usage for cynic.
23:49:22 Death Penalty
How do you figure more profit HURTS the games industry again?
23:48:48 Agent Dunham
Again, as a cynic, no, they're just going to take the path of least resistance to - guess what - more profit.
23:48:22 Death Penalty
It could seriously resurrect the B game if it becomes the standard. I'm quite pumped for digital distribution as a whole.
