It turns out @JustinMcElroy’s thing is behind a dilapidated Goodwill, which is in front of an abandoned circus. Promising start!
Wow, response deluge! I’ve scheduled some reminders to make this a real thing later next year. I own a suit, so the first step is sorted.
Dog growls at the next category sound in Netflix and the spotlight dash rotation. Tried to explain benefits of Metro but went over her head.

RT @jjaron: Remember those annoying “You wouldn’t steal a car” anti-piracy ads? They pirated the music http://t.co/5iqe5hkk
My obese balding 40-something guy from SWTOR, Meatlovers, was apparently voiced by Nolan North. Truly the most versatile voice actor.

Fun fact: It’s now cheaper to buy the official Xbox 360 250GB hard drive than it is to buy an OEM 250GB hard drive for your PC post-flood.
If you are in the XBL Fall Preview beta, you should check out the dashboard channel for the wtf out of nowhere extra surprise.
To answer all the Q’s in one tweet: Yes, I was the kid/guy/car. Berwick St in Fortitude Valley. We didn’t see the kid when we took the pic.
“Players don’t want innovation” is a cop out. Innovation is one thing, turning it into success requires making it accessible and selling it.
Ubisoft owns Nadeo. Ubisoft owns RedLynx. There’s only one awesome way this can end. #trialsmania

Late night hacking has produced a Portal of Power driver and an exe that lets you change the light colors Tomorrow? add more stuff/release.
Alan Joyce, Peter Reith and Dick Smith are all trending. I think I woke up in a bizarro world where everyone cares about AU Aviation/Nerds.
I don’t really #ff, but all of these great dudes were born today: @NeccoBus, @johnl0k and @MrPope. Can’t imagine how tired the mother was…
In summary: Magic comps are “friendly, fun and social” unless two consenting adults resolve a stalemate with dice. That is IMMORAL and SICK.

If you’re looking for a halloween costume for that special someone, you can’t go past this one, brother. http://t.co/BZBm6cf6
Counterpoint: The first Nicki Minaj song I hit is about her taking dumps on things, then waving said dumps in the air. Humble Hop forever.
Finished Batman: Arkham City. Fantastic game, but I think WBIE forgot to put the code in the box that downloads the final third of the game.
The Gunstringer: inadvertent colorblind test for Canadians.
Of course, another great moment was working out who’s underpants we found in the middle of the open plan office, so it’s a low bar.
“PvE Scenarios are basically DOTA from a WoW perspective”. This appears to be the “Things we should have made a bigger deal about” panel.
Yep. WoW is now the Pokemon MMO I’ve always wanted.
RT @Andrew_Reiner: The AR missions tip: Don’t touch the control stick after dive bombing. Let Batman correct himself.
Crunching numbers, it looks like the Australian industry contracted from 2,000+ to ~500 in 5 years. 1/3 of that in the last half year or so.
I may have just been given the book equivalent to Hot Jamz ‘97. http://t.co/qUmA3Dpk
Whoa XBLIG dash placement! Congrats @Jamezila & @Shelldragon! http://t.co/j2DRv0YY
One other Skylanders thing that may sway you to pick it up: Brock Sampson’s voice plays a hot air balloon pilot.
Day 2 of Tony talking aloud about Rocksmith and pretending that it’s the first game to teach you how to play a guitar. No eye twitching yet.
Finally, we are one step closer to owning a hoverboard by 2015. http://t.co/s9VK2L13
Messing with Arduino boards, getting a LEGO MBA, playing games and eating crazy good food. Basically, getting older nerdily.
Also a cat won the first round. Pretty sure this is rigged.

Same for any other gamertag/email combo linkage: Facebook, rockband.com, etc. “XBL hax” isn’t the only way gamertags could get hijacked.

Looks like hackers have been stealing PayPal accts and sending me their cash. This is the modern “you find a wallet on the ground”, right?

Mission “stuff @Slapworth with pounds of Rudy’s brisket and Pinballz”: SUCCESS. Mission “Meat Coma”: IMMINENT.

If you’re a successful social or MMO developer, could you wait a day or two to arrive? Thanks.
The color scheme, typeface and geometry style for Autodance is great! Unique and not deliberately brand confusing at all! http://j.mp/oBrryo
