I don't know if I could handle an expo or convention. I mean I love gaming, but those things have a lot of uber excited nerds running around haha. Plus, I don't like huge crowded areas where you can't hear anything.

Same!!! I really wish to attend lol.

And Matty i figured it would be like going to a concert but for computer games? You always have those hardcore fans but then there are the others who are just there cause they like it.

Yeah, but see....a lot of hardcore gamers tend to have bad hygiene so.....being trapped in tight spaces with mass groups of D&D kids? No thanks.

Haha maybe thats how it in the US but here us gamers are all good! :P

Haha. Yeah...I don't look like a gamer at all. Girls are always shocked when I tell them, but they stick around so....their fault? Lmao

LMAO. Oh god, typical Aussie haha. Yeah, I look like a skater/musician/stoner. Never get suspected as an avid gamer.

Yeah Acid, and that's the reason I never want to go haha.

Pretty sure Billabong is a clothing line and not a campfire :P Silly Acid!







I kid i kid, its actually like a pool of water. Kinda like a water hole :) But i do camp near fresh water lakes all the time. Mainly camp near dam's OR by the ocean. Fish in the ocean and wakeboard at the dam's! :)

I used to, but not anymore. Got tired of falling down. Haha, that video is....interesting? Lmao.

Is that really what that means Acid? I thought it had something to do with water, like a river or something?

Nevermind, I took too long to type out my post in between CoD MW2 rounds.

Thanks for the MW2 invite.... :(

That's strange. My mother has vacationed there three times and she always said it was a campfire. I guess she was wrong. :eek:

Ah there is a very iconic song named Waltzing Matilda taht refers to a billabong and campfire so if she had heard it, it would be easy to mistake the two. Not surprising though. No one understands aussie slang apart from us!

That's probably it. She went walkabout on a tour and she probably misinterpreted the meaning.

One, how do I know what system you're on? Two, how do I know your GT? Three, how am I supposed to know that you have or like MW2? DANG! Sounding like my ex.....lmao

She's keen haha. Aus is really nice if you go to the right place. Though over 1/4 of it is desert so yeah :P

I wanna go to Ireland and Australia. It'll be a while though.

I've been to my homeland, Scotland three times. Most beautiful and green part of the world I've seen. It's weird seeing it so green as there has been so many wars and battles in Scotland you would think the land would be scourged.
MattyLight
03-09-2011, 08:02 PM
True that. I've heard that Ireland is amazingly green, really want to see it first hand.

For those not following the Astro Twitter page. Here is Stan the Stanimal representin' at PAX East. He's the one on the far right. He's talking about his experience on starting with the game gaming industry.

:p It's not true all around, but it's enough to make me not want to be crammed in a tight space with them.

Hehe, yeah, meeting akaTrent was good. Nice guy and very knowledgeable about audio stuff. Be sure to check out his reviews as he posts them.

Also a shoutout to MLG Steggy whom we saw while over at PAX East. I actually ran into both of them at the same time while they were talking with ASTRO stanimal. They had just gotten in and akaTrent was carrying around his gear for some reviews/intro for different products.
