[QUOTE=Novangel;27948693]Its hilarious when you're watching others drunk though.[/QUOTE] Was at a LAN party last week, which turned into a drunk party instead. Everyone but me were wasted, and I literally had to be the babysitter. They were rolling around on the floor, spilling liquid all over the place. One guy even fell off his chair and landed on his newly built PC(which luckily survived). Anyways, it ended with me having to drag one of them home(only lived 5 minutes away from the host). On the way, he threw off his shoes, and walked barefoot on the ice. I then had to knock on the door at 2 AM to wake his father up, then he had to put him to bed. When I got back, the host had sprayed his hair green while carrying around his airsoft, aiming at the drunk guests. I had to follow him down to his room, where he ended up falling asleep on the floor. So I walked back up, asked the others to go to bed, and they all acted like little kids. "Buuut I doon't waaaant too!". Eventually it worked and I headed home(live close by, and I felt like sleeping in my bed instead of a couch.
uni bar reopening at griffith i think i just peed a little
any of you guys experiencing slower internet over the past few days? specifically if you live in melbourne and with optus
I always hear about Australian internet being shit. Is this true? Heard MMO's tend to be a problem, because the lack of servers. But there must be some good internet providers?

But we haven't moved onto optics until the national broadband network is finished. Its pretty shit. And the lack of decent servers is shit too. Only the big commercial games built for multiplayer really get servers. The only server company that promotes popular mods is 3FL.
3FL is owned by iinet so I get a real good connection to them. Also this is public servers that no-one really owns other than the telecommunications network hosting it. Not sure if they have those overseas, haven't seen any ones in the US.

Full Metal Jacket is my favourite movie right now See it if you haven't
I'm getting fucking capped in like a week. Not sure if its because my dumbcunt brother downloading shit but we're always getting capped in a week and we have 70gigs.
The fuck! I wish I had 70 gigs, I got 12.
I got 400. My sister is in Melbourne this month too so she won't use it up with her Youtube shit either, fuck yeah.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I'd never get bored if I had 400 gigs So many movies.... So.... Many..... Ah well, one day :buddy:
A friend from Brisbane went missing after the floods. Goddammit. I was supposed to visit next month.
Fuck man, I hope everything turns out well for you
I think we're getting 500 gigs next month or something :buddy: En guage why only 12gigs if you don't mind me asking? I know we only get semi decent speed because we can't get any faster in our area is that the same for you? Or is it none of my business?

It's always more expensive in the country. You can get cheap as shit ADSL2 in the centre of Melbourne but go a couple hundred km away and you pay a fuckload for something worse. At least my dad uses the internet just as much as me and is absolutely furious when we get capped so he pays for good stuff.
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;27950202]IIRC ~$150 a month for the home phone + the internet[/QUOTE] Sheeeeeeeeeeeet just 30 gigs would be fine for me, absolutely fine
[QUOTE=En-Guage V2;27950240]Sheeeeeeeeeeeet just 30 gigs would be fine for me, absolutely fine[/QUOTE] I really struggle to stay under 100 GB
Well I wouldn't use that much, just get some movies to keep me interested over weekends and that's all. Youtube some movies, watch some online. That's it, how can you need 100 gigs
You download movies, I download things off Steam. Plus the updates usually use a ton. Other than that, youtube uses a lot more than most people expect.
yeah that's a big reason why I don't use steam anymore Youtube isn't a bad place to find movies either, suprisingly
My friend got his 200 Gig plan capped :v: TPG is utter shit for me maybe it's the router
