@mjc - I guess you don't necessarily want the house to have the same layout with the different weather though. Would make the interior very cold a lot of the time ![]() @mystic_Knight - I'm with you. I love that everyone's come over and continued chatting Seems to be more posts here too or is that just misplaced perception? Either way it's nice being able to segregate stuff a bit more and allow people dedicated threads@byaloski - That's exactly why I didn't go on it. There were two of those rides that spun you around every which way and they didn't appeal to me at all. I had to passenger ride for an hour back to Palm Beach then go on a few hours of plane ride back to Melbourne afterwards... had no desire to feel sick for that! Gotta say it was amusing being on the plane. Got ready for that push back in your seat as you take off... oh... is that it? We had quite bad turbulance but it didn't bother me much. Guess a full day of rollercoasters makes Jetstar's attempts seem a little tame. Oh and that Mick Doohan ride was great but too short IMO. I guess they couldn't make it much "scarier" when you're sitting on top of a bike though right? Too much chance of injury and lawsuit. That said there's a similar jetski ride at one of the other parks whcih doesn't strap you in as much AND is rougher. Did you smile for the cameras? I have a sneaking suspicion my bro in lkaw knew where each of them was and played up for them. What do you think? ![]() Edited by Derpstrom, Dec 17 2013, 09:11 AM.

I play tennis as well gorgeous. Well not so much now but I did play competition when I was younger and I am better than most players. By most I mean people who occasionally play the game, I can still hit all my forehand and backhanders with power and make most of my serves. We should play, I have some other buddies who play and want to get into a friendly doubles game. |

I like this photo of you, you look tanned and kind of bad ass. QLD suits you. I remember doing all kinds of poses for the roller coaster photos at the amusement parks, my mates did as well and we would even pull out a cigar (not light it of course) on top of the climb and do a mad pose like we were smoking it. Its funny cause all the other people in the other carts are screaming and we all looked calm and suave. |

Thanks. The Queensland lifestyle is definitely something I liked. Very laid back. Although there were a lot of self important people in Broadbeach where I went out for dinner with Nickosaurus. One other thing I noticed on my walks was that the hot to ugly ratio is well in favour of the former. Lots of attractive people walking around. One thing I thought was funny was the way the guys dressed. You'd have loads of model type guys with their shirts off, tucked into board shorts walking around... then you'd have these super overweight guys rocking a pair of budgie smugglers! Lol. Lol @ the cigars. I did stuff like that on the log ride. Laid back and pretended I was asleep. Meant I missed the ride part but... it's a log ride.. not exactly the highest of thrills! I would've done it with more of the rides but the camera wasn't enabled for the Giant Drop or the Tower of Terror 2 and I only went on each of the others once. Surprising how much time you spend queueing even with the Queue 4 U thing. Just realised I was wearing a DAFAP T-shirt in that photo! Way to promote!!! Also just realised I missed an entire page of posts here! Time to go back and read page 7 |

Wow. Talk about a page not to miss! Lol. I hope that, if anyone here feels like Mystic did on the lounge, they'd let me know. I don't go in for heavy handed moderation but if someone's being a cunt and isn't being called out for it then maybe they need an official wrist slap. I have a feeling our community here would be pretty quick to pounce on someone doing something overly untoward though. Similarly we'd be pretty quick to hack into someone for being too precious too so it's a two way sword I think this community is good enough that it can self moderate and avoid any serious issues.For example; I am extremely anti religion. I think that the good it does is far outweighed by the bad (both psychologically and physically). Mystic knows my views on this and I know his. We all talked about it on GameSpot once and were adult enough to end it with knowledge that we each hold different views. I like him as a person... well a virtual person as I've never actually met him... and wouldn't let something as unimportant as what he believes get in the way of that. I believe he's the same sort of person and doesn't let my lack of belief get in the way of his opinion of me. He thinks I'm a wanker for totally unrealted reasons

My opinion, Mystic overreacted. I believe honestly and now that I have met the dude in real life and like him and want to second date him I feel that he used that as a reason to leave The Lounge.This place in comparison is tamer but in saying this, the guys on The Lounge are hardly misfits or immature trouble makers. I mean they were made up of the same people who guys like MJC and Mystic banned from GS, who may have some resentment left over towards them. I know I still do in a small way, I forgive but dont forget. I dont give a flying fuck if the 2 of them are offended by that comment, fact is GS let the community down, the same community that they overly supported with overly strict rules and look at what thanks they got for it and the rest of us plebs for that matter. I mean just recently Serial Killer got banned for fucking nothing and the GS mods here you can defend your actions but lets face it, it was done because the princess Zorine wanted it done. I can see past the shit that happened to me with MJC, I still maintain he was in the wrong at the time and I broke no rules to warrant up to half a years worth of suspensions. Im not saying I am above anyone else but I am one of the biggest contributors to GS/The Lounge and know DAFAP already and by attempting to cut my tail off served no benefit, whatsoever. Zorine, im not even sure if she joint this site, I hope she did. However, she privately messaged me outside of GS realm to have a one on one chat via Steam. The conversation was fine and I appreciate her contacting me, but what I gathered from her conversation and past actions is that she didnt really care about the conserving the community. If she did, she would have joint this board to keep in touch with us. In comparison to me who is considered a trouble maker gives way more fucks about the local AU GS gaming community, somewhere we can have a chat without some ridiculous rules that only serve GS who fucked us over anyway, not the members.Its a shame that Mystic who even admitted it on one of his last Roll Call posts on the new GS that they let us down. Ummmm I have been arguing with the 2 local mods (not NMan) for years about looking past that shit, they dont care and you shouldnt care so much either. I actually want an apology or you were right all this time. Back to Mystic and the religion thing, I didnt see the picture. Though I would have no doubt in my mind that it would have not offended me and I would still like the opportunity to post such images if I feel fit because I can, this isnt GS. Other than that one picture, none of the Lounge members slammed religion so bad for Mystic to leave. I believe he left because I talked about real life issues that I had at the time like battling an ice addiction and we all had open discussions about drugs and other things that Mystic doesnt like hearing. I dont have the need to chat about all that crap no more cause I am in a better place again but I wont deny my past where I have openly admitted and enjoyed taking drugs amongst other things that I did in my past, which some of what was illegal. Perhaps it was too confrontational for Mystic at the time and he just wanted to talk about other topics. |

Good post. I can't comment on a lot of it as I wasn't in the community back in those days. However I do believe there's a difference between arguments, insults and taking offence. All of those are part of a community however, if I felt things were getting out of hand and a particular member was being "bullied" past a socially acceptibnle level I'd probably feel the need to MODERATE![]() No judge NO! ![]() Personally I kinda believe we'll be able to sort everything out in public though. If Mystic sees an image he doesn't like he can post that he finds it insulting. The other user can then call him a wanker or pull it down or whatever. If that person started spamming posts and trolling Mystic to the point where the whole ciommunity wer pissed off I'd respond. I've actually got a moderation forum sitting ready to go if I ever need that. Figure I'll post all moderator decisions/actions in there and everyone can view or comment as required (including guests or banned members). That's about the only way I can see it being as transparent as possible whilst still actually working. But I really don't believe we'll ever need to do that. If interested, Zorine joined this site in it's early days. http://dafap.com.au/profile/3199017/ From what she's said I gather she's a more a lurker than a poster so we might not hear from her often but she did create an account. |

I have said for the last 4 years that GS has gone from being community focused to social media focused. No doubt the priority for CBS is to tap into the user base of facebook, twitter, twitch and so on. The fact that we need to use some of these sites or miss out on GS content is insane. The staff are always posting on twitter but rarely on the forums. It is the reason why Koz left GS because he ended up only being a social media poster and why he went from active poster to barely posting at all. Plus with Zorine's focus on e-sports means that is a far bigger priority for CBS than the forums, it means that is where her effort must go (I don't blame her, she is just doing her job). On another non gaming related website we had a forum for close to 10 years and one day they decided to pull them because they took up too much of their time and went from winning awards for most website hits in it's category to winning nothing since. I don't expect too many more changes on GS since it is just a copy and paste job of Giant Bomb, once the unions get added in then we will know if we get an AU board but all along I have suspected we won't. |

Im happy to play a few rounds with you man, im actually going to play tomorrow morning before i head out for the city.. im starting at 7am. In regards to your post about the lounge.. You are completely incorrect. not even one point was accurate... FYI I never ever banned any of our Au People. Never. 2ndly I dont give a crap if you talk about drugs. Ill talk about them too, but always in a negative light, because i see no positives out of them at all. For me my religious views are sacred to me. For that reason, if i see insults flown in regards to my belief, I actually get upset. I dont care if you dont acknowledge or believe the religion, its no stress on my shoulders.. just don't insult it. To be honest i'd rather you be racist to my background of Lebanese than say one negative word to my belief and im anti racism, but thats how highly I hold my belief. If the other users will return here and their attitude will remain the same i will leave the place as simple as that.. If you start putting pictures such as the one i outlined, I will stop talking to you.. I see you as a great guy Ben but quite frankly if people wish to test my respect and friendship levels, they will lose. |

Agent and bioshockraptor both started getting laid and disappeared. I haven't seen the other 2. I wouldn't mind if streaky bacon joined, he always added to the film debates. |
