  1. Other than Truck Sim, Flight Sim and Farm Sim, I haven't played a video game since the days of DOS games but Full Throttle and Duke Nukem had cool soundtracks but probably aren't metal enough for genre specific people.
  2. Ed Hunter. Not a bad release in the entire catalogue!
  3. My last CV update was so long ago that 3 out of 4 of my references are no longer taking phone calls. The last job it has listed as 1989 but it does have curriculum vitae written at the top. I do remember updating it once to a Word document from a Wordstar document in the mid 90's, but I never used it again. The layout and look of it isn't that much different to the way my kids have been told to do them these days. Application writing is still a shit of a job though. My daughter has to address all 9 points out lined in the selection criteria, responded to individually with 2-4 paragraphs each. Then there is a section of 5 points, I can't remember the name of that one now, that requires all points to be addressed together in no more than 5 paragraphs.
  4. Templates to follow were even around when I last wrote one, but no one copies them word for word. This one she has to address 9 criteria and address 5 other points. Thankfully it's not a government application so there is room for some changes but it's still a shit to write.
  5. My youngest just dropped in and asked me how to write a job application. Talk about stretching the old grey matter, it's been more than 30 years since I wrote a job application and back then it was written not typed.
  6. Griveripper is on my future to do list because I didn't mind Radiated Remains, but god knows when I'll get around to it because there is others before it and apparently there is jobs I have to do before listening to music.
  7. It's true, my dog's version was Top 10 in the greats Dog hits of the 80's.
  8. Aaahh I figured it might be. Damn Australia laws are getting bad if they ban that video!
  9. Video unavailable in my country. We're only allowed to see Wiggles videos in Australia now.
  10. I drink alone so I don't do expensive status symbols.
  11. I don't respect myself, I abuse myse....oh never mind. The tax is bullshit and it's indexed so it goes up at least twice a year with CPI. While it supposedly pays for our medicare system (among other things) it's also making drinking a very expensive habit. But that's not really why I stopped drinking beer. That Psychos songs sums it up perfectly. Going to a pub these days is a young lads game. The highest price of a glass of beer (285ml) in a Melbourne pub is $15 (average is $12). Shitty IPA's, home made, flavour infused, anything not considered a base line standard beer is up to double that price because essentially there is no recommended minimum price on those beers. A single shot of whisky, lowest shelf is between about $10 and $15, if you have to ask how much a specific brand is over a bar you can't afford it. Even wines are up around $13-20 per glass in some pubs. It's cheaper to buy and consume at home, but the cheapest 24 can (375ml) cartons these days cost around the $40 -$50 dollar mark. Many are over $50 and some of those IPA's and small brewery beers are as high as $80 for 24 cans and they often come as low as 285ml cans. Cheap whiskies (Beam etc) start around the $40 mark and head skyward to ridiculous amounts and wine, especially Australian wine, is coming down at the moment (due to having billions of litres over production currently in storage and no where to export it too). Some wines can be under $10 and still be considered alright. (I wouldn't know for sure cause I don't drink wine either. I still drink whisky from time to time but it's been a long time between drinks, in fact the last bottle of cheapish stuff I had my wife knocked off. She left the Buffalo Trace but drank the cinnamon stuff without even telling me until it was nearly empty.
  12. I can't remember how long it is since I drank a single beer. In fact there is still half a cartoon in the workshop that has a used by date of 2019 on it.
  13. C.O.F.F.I.N - Children Of Finland Fighting In Norway
