My partner reblogged a series of funny Easter themed Supernatural pictures on Tumblr, which keep coming to mind every time I try to watch Supernatural now. If you’re a fan I suggest clicking the image below (It was my favourite. I love Bobby.) to see the complete set.

I’m none too happy about the news that this new feature will be rolled out without choice over all Facebook profiles, but when I see people make hilarious use out of it, I feel a lot better.
Thank you Reddit.

This game suffered the same Steam release faults that Fallout: New Vegas had, much to my frustration. However, it finally came out yesterday, and I’ve been playing it.
I’ve never been a big fan of Texas Hold ‘Em Poker. I know the basics, but I lack the want to actually play. This game however, had me the moment it was officially announced. Why? Look below.
Yes, that is Max1, Strongbad2, Heavy Weapons Guy3, and Tycho4. Yes, I am playing against them.
This is the appeal of the game; four characters from different universes, playing and chatting to each other while you all play poker. This makes what I see as a normally boring game ten times more fun. Watching Strongbad get angry at the Heavy, or Max inform the table of everything he is going to do with the chips (including his want to cover himself in grease and roll around in them) is more fun that you’d think.
The game is obviously made specially with Team Fortress 2 fans in mind, as there are items you can win off of the characters, which are then rewarded as unlocks in TF2. It’s a weird marketing strategy, but when you take into account the amount of players who obsess over new weapons, it makes sense for a low budget game.
Poker Night At The Inventory has a few graphical bugs that need looking at (For example, bets not showing up correctly at the top of the screen, and Max’s cards clipping through his chip stacks), but it’s still immensely playable and fun.
It’s got it’s novelty, and I like it, but I can’t help but wonder if the magic won’t wear off come a few weeks time and it suffers the same fate as Alien Swarm seems to have in the general gaming community. For only five dollars though, I guess it doesn’t really matter.

This was so funny I just had to post it both on Tumblr and here. I was laughing all the way home. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Another short piece of writing from July of 2008. I remember this quite vividly actually.
When I’m stoned, apparently cooking just enough pasta for me and my friend isn’t enough. No, I have to cook enough for the entire of Australia.
ALL MY FUCKING PASTA.
IN THE FUCKING HOUSE.
COOKED FOR NO REASON.
I even forgot to like, wrap it up and put it in the fridge. I have to throw it out because it’s probably crawling with some disease that would make me grow a vagina or something. Fuck.

As part of a post on NotGamers, I sent a question to Robin Walker at Valve Software, only to receive an out of office email saying to contact Gabe Newell about anything TF2 related. I sent the same email to him, to get this reply:
I am out of the office starting Feb. 12th (but on email). For general issues, e-mail scott@valvesoftware.com. For marketing or press issues, e-mail lombardi@valvesoftware.com. To complain about HL-2 Ep 3 taking too long, email laidlaw@valvesoftware.com. To complain about L4D2 not taking long enough, email toml@valvesoftware.com. To complain about the crafting/lack of crafting in TF2, email robin@valvesoftware.com To compliment the writers of Valve for creating funny out of office replies, email lazygadabouts@valvesoftware.com. I’ll be back in Seattle Feb. 21st.
I couldn’t help but laugh. Seems they have their fan base pretty much covered.

Yesterday the inevitable bug fix following the major update came out, and included one particularly funny fix:
Now, I don’t know how they accidently enabled the spy to being able to do this, but it turns out that with the War Update, spies were actually able to build a dispenser, by either typing “build 0” into console, or using the engineer’s direct bind. Doing so would cause the spy to lose his sapper until he either died or went to a medical cabinet.
And of course, here’s the obligatory video of spies doing what they do best; exploiting.
Beautiful, isn’t it?

The medic above for those who don’t know, is an enemy medic healing a spy from our team disguised as an engineer. Normally this is accidental, and quickly rectified with a few stabs of the medic’s bone saw after he realizes the mistake that has been made.
However, the hilarity here is that these two did this for the majority of the time I was on the server, regardless of what happened around them. Neither cared that they were on opposing teams, and all I could do was stand there laughing until I was killed by a Pyro 10 seconds later.
Dear diary, it was the best day ever, the end.

While hanging at Glenelg a couple of days ago with the amazing Brittster, we encountered this advertisement at the Tram-stop:
If you squint, you can see me in the reflection! But that’s irrelevant.
Now, I was aware of the advertisement’s existence; staff at the Casino get a newsletter discussing happenings at the workplace, and this was revealed as the marketting campaign for the Ladies Poker they’re holding.
I always find the Casino’s attempts at advertising hilarious and eye catching, this one included. However, I’ve heard others expressing wide ranging opinions of the ad. Some find it funny too, don’t get it, or misinterpret it. But there are also a few who find it crass and inappropriate.
My question to you, is what do you think of it? Do you have an opinion on the matter? Do you even care?

I just HAD to reply:
HELLO DR HARRISON MWAKYEMBE, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WARNING. I HOPE THAT ONCE THIS IS ALL CLEARED YOU MAY BUY YOURSELF A KEYBOARD WITH A FUNCTIONING SHIFT AND CAPS LOCK KEY, SO YOU CAN TYPE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON.
I APOLOGIZE FOR CONTINUING BUSINESS WITH THE NONE OFFICIALS, I FEEL LIKE I STABBED YOU IN THE BACK. LIKE I MARRIED YOU THEN CHEATED ON YOU BY SLEEPING WITH BOTH YOUR MOTHER AND SISTER AT THE SAME TIME (ITS NOT INCEST IF IM NOT RELATED TO EITHER OF THEM). THEIR WORK WITH PERFECTING A TELEPORTATION DEVICE INTERESTS ME THOUGH; THE IDEA OF MODIFYING A GUITAR HERO CONTROLLER TO DO SUCH A THING AMAZES ME TREMENDOUSLY, I MEAN, WHERE DOES THE FLUX CAPACITOR FIT? DO YOU OFFER ANYTHING SIMILAR TO THAT?
BEFORE I DO ANY OF THIS THOUGH, I NEED TO KNOW ONE THING; THAT ONE WILD NIGHT WE SPENT TOGETHER, DID IT MEAN ANYTHING FOR YOU? DID SPARKS FLY FOR YOU AS THEY DID FOR ME? WHAT IM TRYING TO GET TO, IS THAT I LOVE YOU, PLEASE LOVE ME BACK.
Not the best reply I could of done, but I like it none the less. The teleportation bit was an idea courtesy of my friend KASE.
The email reply automatically redirects to the atmpayment gmail account as opposed to the original “sender”, so I sent it to both. However, I immediately got sent a notification that the original email cannot be sent to permanently. Obviously fake, which makes this funnier. I’m waiting for the reply that will probably never come, but if it does come, hopefully lulz will ensue.
