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.

Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
Dammit, that's what I wanted to say.
Maybe with more oomph... like prefacing it with a "Wooo!" or some such.
I am reserving my excitement for when it is needed most.
I only have one! But it's yours if you want it. Does anyone know if there's a procedure for transferring passes or is it just a matter of, whoever turns up with it gets in?
You literally just give them the badge and they use it to get in.
I'm just confirming my availability this Saturday afternoon / evening for some late lunch / dinner / dranks etc in town if anyone else if still free and/or keen.
Yeah I will walk down and have some drinks and food.
Somebody, anybody, I will actually need two, one each for Amy and myself. Man, there's only two weeks between PAX and the Avon Descent. I might have to ask Amy about this, see if she's still keen to go.
Damnit.

It didn't really click with me, but maybe I'm a bit young to appreciate the nostalgia. 'Give Life Back to Music' and 'Get Lucky' are both fantastic though.
Alive 2007 still reigns as the best Daft Punk album.
There are a few really fantastic songs on there as well.
How many layers do I need? 15?
Also @vivixenne I suppose you could add me to the list of people attending
Thankies.
edit: it occurs to me at this point that any suggestions should be PM'd.
It can get chilly when windy.
And it will just fucking rain out of nowhere then be all sunshine and shit.
Fired it up on itunes. So far, so good, though that third one with the monologue was a bit odd. I totally agree with it being eclectic.
I rather like it so far, though.
That is an interesting decision, I must admit. I've heard people swear by the baby bonus since it was first put in.
Because her sisters had nice engagement rings.
Even though the baby was the reason they were even getting married at all.
Classy.
How many people actually did that?
I don't personally know of anyone. People have bought flatscreens, spas, dirtbikes, used it as a downpayment on a new car...
Medicare takes care of most of your expenses. What I heard from people on public health was out of pocket costs came to around the $900 mark. Which most couples that are about to have a kid have probably got in their savings.
The place where the bonus really helped was in very low income households, or single parent households.
Those people were hurting for money with a new kid. Folks from a richer socioeconomic background tend to have the kinds of family and friends that will gift them about five of everything they need. For instance, my best mate and my partner Amys younger sister have had kids twice now. They were given cots, prams,change tables, blankets, clothes, bottles, sterilisers, nappies (holy shit, fucking thousands of nappies), cases of baby food, even a breast pump.
And that was from a very blue-collar group of family and friends.
"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
Whether the money was spent on the baby or not is irrelevant within the larger picture. It was an avenue for an economic stimulus that is/was relatively easy to promote (help working class families support their newborn children) and sell to voters.

I mean were these people saving week to week for a spa? Or did they say. Hey we've got a hunk of cash, lets go shopping!
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
Unless you have issues with breastfeeding and have to use formula instead. That shit is expensive, yo.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?
Think of it as being due in on Friday, that way you have a weekend spare to finish it off. Simple.
Well, the spa and dirtbike examples were both diesel mechanics I used to work with. The dirtbike guy had twins, and so got double the amount, $6000. That almost paid for the bike all by itself.
"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
That is just not how procrastination works!
I did say that I just wanted to complain about things.
@Lalabox Ah, yeah. That would be inconvenient. I guess maybe the lecturer was trying to encourage people to hand it in Friday. That's all I can think of.
