Come to Australia.

Smirnoffka · Jul 2010

I'm bored, come visit me here in Sunny Perth.

No but seriously, if anyone is headed to this hemisphere anytime soon and would like to catch up for a beer or something, I can easily be persuaded. Hell, I can even offer a bed to sleep on and I can supply the beer. Maybe I'll even lend you my car.

I've been told by my boss that I need to meet new people, and, well, he's my boss and I have to listen to him. Military eh. I dunno, been lurking around the forums for so long and only ever having met 1 member (Gauss, I haven't forgotten you buddy

), would just like to meet some of you fine folk.

Yeah, so basically come to Australia because I told you so.

Otherwise...

Cheers

Wahlgren · Jul 2010

I'll meet you... in the great scandinavian - australian war of 2019! We want your koalas and kangaroo's!

Other than that, it's a bit to far. Always wanted to go to australia to work though... but then you pooped all over your studios

slipsius · Jul 2010

im going there in september to visit a buddy on the gold coast for a couple weeks, then possibly travelling new zealand for a few weeks. so... in response to your demands.... ok!!

Muzzoid · Jul 2010

Slip, the gold coast is on the other side of australia from perth haha.

Only like an hour away from me though :P.

Sif you'd live in perth anyway.

(i have no idea what its like. It's probably nice?)

Steve Schulze · Jul 2010

Why not climb out of that hole and come to a real capital city, Smirnoffka? Didn't you used to be a Melbourne lad?

sampson · Jul 2010

Im pretty sure everyone should go to sydney instead.

mat · Jul 2010

perth is a very dull place... no wonder you are sad pandas
am gonna be back there for a visit in december to see some friends for like a week.. a little times from now, but if you wanna meet up for a beer then can be down for that

Nizza_waaarg · Jul 2010

gotta agree with getting a real city man : P

(and yeah i swear you were in melb last time i checked

)

Muzzoid · Jul 2010

it is kinda strange how we never have Aussie polycount meetups

.

PeterK · Jul 2010

Excellent, you're in Perth. There's a guy named Joel I would like you to dropkick for me. He's the only Joel in perth.

I'll bring you an authentic fake Brooklyn replica of a Cuban cigar if you knock him out.

tanka · Jul 2010

Smirnoffka, I've seen you on another forum before, but I can't remember which one for the life of me. I'm thinking maybe Tsumea? But that is a very wild guess.

If anybody is listening to him, don't go to Perth, It's so far out of the way from anything. Then again, I'm living in Canberra atm so I can't really talk.

maybe we should get one going .the problem with australia is theres too few of us but its too frekain huge

Steve Schulze · Jul 2010

Well if you're planning one, wait till Nizza and I are back from New Zealand. And have it in Melbourne.

Smirnoffka · Jul 2010

Well, unfortunately I have to live where the Airforce tells me to live. I move about every 2 years, so yes mate, I was a Melbourne man, and then a Canberra man, and then, god save me, a Tamworth man for about 6 months. Now a Perth man till mid next year. Its nice here, but certainly not my favourite place in the world. However, there is a massive good looking chicks:guys ratio, which makes the place pretty nice when its warm. (The like the short skirts don'tcha know.) I would love to have a Aus meetup at some point. Will be in Brisbane visiting family come around christmas time, so could make it down to melbourne for a weekend. (Had better be a hell of a weekend though!)

Edit: And Tanka, I was involved with openfrag for some time, if you know anything about that, but otherwise no idea where you would have seen me before, as on most 'serious' forums I just use my name or my callsign.

sampson · Jul 2010

if wer doing it at a bar, can we make it next year so i'm 18 haha

achmedthesnake · Jul 2010

house party then....

tanka · Jul 2010

I think the mana bar is in Brisbane, achmed.

I'd be down with Melbourne, I've been looking for an excuse to head there. It's not too far from here either.

Muzzoid · Jul 2010

The mana bar is in brisbane... and its tiny and smells of nerd.

Edit: damnit tanka beat me.

haiddasalami · Jul 2010

If by beer you mean Fosters....FUCK YEAH!

Muzzoid · Jul 2010

I hear americans dont have premixes in cans?

gavku · Jul 2010

Yeah I don't know anyone here who drinks Fosters. I've been at a Grand Final day BBQ where someone's brought a slab along, they were ridiculed all day...

tanka · Jul 2010

I don't even know if you can buy fosters here anymore. Nobody drinks it. lol.

Smirnoffka · Jul 2010

Lol, Fosters is goat piss. Get a quality beer like a Crown Lager or Pure Blonde. Mmmmmmmm, blonde.

haiddasalami · Jul 2010

Sadly that is the only choice of Australian beer I've seen around in Canada

We need a beer thread...

Tumerboy · Jul 2010

Hmm, dunno why I'd want to go visit what I've recently learned is a nation of idiots. . . :P

Optimus Prime'll turn up and take you for a drive?

Smirnoffka · Jul 2010

Hmmmm, nah. I'll flip you off.

Steve Schulze · Jul 2010

Neox, it's hard enough for developers to get work in Australia as it is without freakishly talented folks like you taking our jerbs.

Smirnoffka · Jul 2010

Yeah, Jerk.

Muzzoid · Jul 2010

Yeah its not a time to be looking for current gen character artists in australia....

Feck i do pixels art most days at work.

Smirnoffka · Jul 2010

However, it is a good time to be in Australia, because the beer is cold and the weather is getting warmer. And we are pretty much all awesome blokes. So come.

Muzzoid · Jul 2010

Yes the partying here is most excellent.

So it is always a good time to come!

haiddasalami · Jul 2010

As long as you have australium and kangaroos that fight each other...I'm headed there.

Smirnoffka · Jul 2010

I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants. Party. The pants party.

Neox · Jul 2010

Nah, do it anyway. I mean, I don't care, I have a job.

sampson · Jul 2010

Hrmm physical meetups seem challenging (perhaps do one in melbourne some stage)
i dont know how you'd go about it but a tf2 server meetup perhaps on a sat/fri night?

Smirnoffka · Jul 2010

I don't play TF2. And now that I am late on the bandwagon, and not very good at computer games to begin with, I'll simply get owned.

Aww come on we have much better beers than that swill.

You should avoid beer in clear bottles...Beer hates light!! It's an obvious sign of marketing over substance.

Try some of these Aussie breweries instead of that cheap mainstream lager.

Heres a few good easy to find brewers:

James Squire
http://www.maltshovel.com.au/

Pepper Jacks - made at a winery
http://www.saltramwines.com.au

Stone and Wood - the draught ale is fantastic, my favourite beer
http://stoneandwood.com.au/blog/

Matilday Bay
http://www.matildabay.com.au/home

Smirnoffka · Jul 2010

Squire pale is nice, but the nicest beer is something out of the tap. I went to the little creatures brewery here in Perth recently, and I really wasn't that impressed. Honestly though, if its cold, I'll drink it.

Come to Australia.
