Was at my aunty place- in Noble Park- cousins birthday. I was the only one upstairs watching it

Kyrgios is bloody entertaining to watch when he focuses on playing tennis.

I was still living at my parents, we were all watching it. We all went nuts!

 

[Shell]

Wow wow and wow

 

[Shell]

How the **** did he create that angle

 

[Phipppppa]

As if that Bradbury race was almost 20 years ago. Wowee.

It was such a different world back then

Back when I started working FIFO the wife bought me a ps3 for my camp room. I think she wanted to keep me away from the pub when I was up there. Not that she had to worry, I was at work 12 hours a day and just going to camp to eat and sleep.

I think the only game I played through was SpecOps: The Line which I made a point of doing after the zeropunctuation review of it. But basically didn't open the other 6 or 7 games.

This is for the Wii, one of the sealed games is from the Need For Speed series, and i would have bought it because I really got into it on the GameCube - looking at my games I'm thinking it was Underground 2 edition that I played way too much of

Subsequent to that game, I bought a couple more editions for the GameCube, a couple for the Wii & one for the Wii U, and thinking I've only played 1 or 2 of them

When I get a day off later this week, thinking I'll go thru my collections & record what I actually have

LOL

Kyrgios - Medvedev in the next round should be a ripping match.

He's not going to get his favorite Vodafone tho playing him

Nope.

 

[standupand]

Long time ago that was.
Similar trajectory to Geelong actually. Won early and then choked consistently over the next 9, 10, 11 years.

I take it back. Sam totally choked at Guess Who.

Good Sloane turned up.

You really never know what you'll get with Stephens.

Are you kidding

Is it a good indication one has maybe too many video games that when they're looking through a collection of games for a console that was discontinued nearly 8 years ago, that some of the games haven't been opened as they still have the store seal on them?

Then there's others which aren't sealed but I know they haven't been played

Maybe I should find the console & plug it back in to play a few of those games

I really need a dedicated games room

We have two designated games rooms.

One has nothing but two trestle tables (great for space) and 2 gaming machines. Strip lighting etc.

The second room has the pinball. Everyone gravitates to it when we have friends and family over.
That room should have the sit down machine (Mario bros) and the upright (ghost n goblins) in there but they are in the garage.

We also have an Xbox series X (took me 7 hours of phone calls to find one) in the second lounge room hooked up to my amp and punchy surround sound.

Gee I love that console. Got to be careful playing at midnight though. The bass really kicks in.

Match Schedule | AO

Barty on probably around noon, Rafa after her + Osaka and Millhouse tonight.

I'll be watching Sakkari tho which I'll assume will be on GEM.

So it’s an action packed day?

But more entertaining then yesterday at least

Kyrgios and Kokkinakis are scheduled about 3.30pm too - although I don't know if they'll show it on 9.

I don't.
Let him go to jail where they will get at him continually instead.

 

[My Tilly]

No chance Krygios against Medvedev. 3-1 or 3-0 to the Russian.
Pavlyuchenkova will breeze through her match 2-0.

 

[cats_09]

I don't.
Let him go to jail where they will get at him continually instead.

Guessing he'll likely spend his time in protective custody and not in the general population though
