“Former Ben McKay supporters exposed”

if it were news.com it'd be more like:

“Furor as former Ben McKay supporters exposed, including Daniel Andrews”

Your eventual wife sounds like a very patient and tolerant woman.

We love each other. What can I say.

 

[Ligma]

As a man that has

- beaten demon souls ps3

- beaten dark souls x 2

- beaten dark souls 2

- platinumed dark souls 2 scholar of the first sin

- platinumed blood borne with dlc

- beaten dark souls 3 x 2

- got to the final boss of sekerio and rage quit

- beat Elden ring with 185 hours in it

I’ve realised that I might have a problem

Edit: demon souls originally wasn’t available in Australia. I was in Hawaii on holiday and my gf (eventual wife) and I walked 4 hours around Waikiki trying to find a game store that had it. Success.

I showed my bf and he said that “platinumming is seriously worrying because of the amount of hours you spend farming items” LOL

comben on king
Corr on membrey
Biggie third tall helping out and rebounding northball style

Comben will get slaughtered by King.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Comben will get slaughtered by King.

good time to test it out to see

He’s our main guy back there now

 

[Reginald0]

Well of course
King is Prime Time
Chom might show something and if he does that will be great
It’s a low bar at this point

- got to the final boss of sekerio and rage quit

After 3 days of straight getting destroyed by this boss, I literally had to take a mental health week off the Xbox before trying again.

Definitely the most satisfying gaming experience I've had after beating him though.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Have you played other From Software games?

Ferbs you never cease to amaze me with your breadth of knowledge/experience. Seems like you've got at least a passing knowledge of everything that comes up.

 

[lockheed]

At some point I'll play Sekiro. Before I get too old and my reflexes completely fail.

Bugger. I'm too late

Admittedly thats only one of my many problems

You’re a better person than I

Cheers. Jack of all trades master of none is what people used to say. (Altho what i'm best at is basically a volunteer job so who cares.)

I don't watch TV or movies very often so I have time to do other stuff. I love reading and learning new things even if I end up disagreeing with them. (Actually playing video games stops you being able to do that as well so I try not to play them very often either.)

Where I used to live there were alot of very interesting people too, with a wide variety of life experiences and different views on the world (and what we all did to make a buck left us a bit more free time than many other people get.) The world's an amazing place and there's more than enough stuff in it that you'll never have the time to see or learn it all before you die ... but it would be a waste of my life not to try.

Some people would say that's because he is good, dynamic and switched on. Personally after last year I'd say McKay is the first two only sometimes and that's when he is the third thing. Which didn't happen enough last year.

I think McKay just had a shit year. He’ll be good for Essendon imo.

 

[R00StaR]

Many years ago I tried playing the original Dark Souls and never finished it so last year/end of '22 I tried again and it took abou 30 hours of training just to be switched on enough to play the game. By training I mean playing the same s**t enemies over and over again (they respawned every time you stop to heal.)

There was a point where it clciked and I was able to beat all the enemies (except a few) that I came across and then there there was another point where I just got the game and could beat even the hardest bosses easily (until the last guy.). But my reflexes and situational awareness were *en acute by then. I was able to watch the first, tiniest moves of the enemies and begin reacting to them, even able to fake them a bit.

That probably took weeks, and a fair period of that was because it was raining so heavily I was unable to do anything else or even get off the property. It was like proper martial arts training or playing sport at a high level.

They are very difficult games. Mastering them means you have no other life. LOL.

I know what you mean, back in the ball mouse days i didnt similar with minesweeper. I wouldnt even play it now given the effort to get anywhere near what i was doing would take far too long. Granted theres an element of luck solving it but to crack previous bests you soon have to recognize the number patterns with a side glance to be able to move on to the next part.

Its like the way Sheeze can sum up the play unfolding by watching players move their heads.

Actually Boomer was a master at this and why at 38 he could put himself into position to get the ball 30+ times a game when no one else in the side could. Its the same pattern recognition but on a footy field not the minesweeper field.

I think McKay just had a s**t year. He’ll be good for Essendon imo.

From a scale of Jono Hay to Brian Lake, I think he’s closer to Lake but geez it’s a hell of a lot of cash to spend on a lock down full back when the rest of the league is moving towards having someone like Darcy Moore or Harris Andrews type thatll control the backline.
I can’t see McKay ever becoming that player.

Tbh I don’t get caught up in what players get paid. He’s a huge loss for us, no doubt about it.

Can we piss the video gane chat off from this thread. Cheers

 

[Chadwiko]

Wait wait wait, do I have this right?

Members don't get in free this weekend? But we need to pay a 'member upgrade' fee to secure a ticket?

Man...

 

[justroyal]

That’s ****ed. So with the merch they’re also releasing. We have access to buy member merch, to tell people we’re members?

 

[RossHenshaw]

I’m going .., x2
Who’s going to the game ?

 

[RossHenshaw]

Wait wait wait, do I have this right?

Man...

I don't think you have this right.

I just 'bought' a free GA ticket for this weekend, and I'm still undecided on whether I'll cough up for the membership this year. So surely members aren't having to pay anything
