Yeah, that was probably the least productive academic year of my life.

Brief PSA

Posted by Richie on July 31, 2007

I’ve noticed that a lot of the people who are trolling me / writing blog entries about how much they hate me insist on taking shots at Australia for being settled as a convict colony. I’d like to point out that Australian settlement also wiped out 90% of the indigenous population and our treatment of them has improved only marginally since then. If you’re going to try insulting me on the basis of my nationality, at least do it properly.

This week in rape-based hilarity

Posted by Richie on July 17, 2007

Good news first: A bunch of Warhammer players got angry about revised rules and started complaining about their armies being “raped”. When it was suggested that they not compare small plastic men no longer being able to use Sonic Blasters while wearing terminator armour to traumatising sexual assault, they apologised and stopped doing it. Anybody who’s ever brought something like this up on a forum full of geek dudes will know why this is worth mentioning. WarSeer.com gets a gold star!

A spare monkey in a temple

Posted by Richie on July 14, 2007

Most people reading this won’t be familliar with Australia’s comedy output. Now you know why.

I’m sure you can do a sketch set in an Indian call centre without it degenerating into embarrassing decades-old racial stereotypes and jokes about monkeys, but they didn’t. Also, these characters were in almost every episode. Season two coming soon to Channel 10, home of Search for the Next Doll, Big Brother and When Labiaplasty Goes Wrong (probably).

Consolation prize for everybody who doesn’t care about Doctor Who: Steps perform “Ghostbusters”

Posted by Richie on July 5, 2007

This is probably my eighth favourite VHS tape I’ve picked up from Cash Converters, behind the educational cartoons from communist Romania and the Boyzone documentary which claims that Stephen Gatley is a locus for poltergeist activity.
