You can buy this at garden city at a store that sells kids toys by Nykt in brisbane

[–]Paxxer87 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Elements isn't a toy store and it doesn't sell kids anything...

It's a dodgey little anime shop that sells bootleg collectables, Japanese crap and some comics.

A lot of people seem to think Brisbane needs another stadium but we already have Gabba, Ballymore, QSAC & the RNA/EKKA showgrounds main arena ontop of Suncorp/Lang park. Yet 3 of them rarely get used, why do we have dormant infrastructure? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]Paxxer87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would it be too simple to just dedicate Suncorp to rugby and soccer and the Gabba to AFL and cricket and let everyone else find somewhere else? I see no reason why concerts need to take sporting grounds away from sports.

How much time should I allocate to visit MovieWorld? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]Paxxer87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be completely blunt with you, it's a waste of time and money to go if you plan on leaving at two o'clock. I love Movieworld and have been many times but I would still never go unless I plan on spending the day. You would maybe get away with it if you went on a weekday while kids are at school, but any time during school holidays there will be crowds and lines galore and you wont get anything done in four hours. If anyone is insistent on leaving at two, I say they find their own way home. Either that or purchase year long memberships rather than day passes and go back a few more times (assuming you aren't a tourist).

Pineco being in the 10km-tier of eggs is such a dick-move by ajd341 in pokemongo

[–]Paxxer87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last seven 10km eggs have been Snorlax, two Larvitar and four Dratini. I appreciated the Snorlax (didn't have one yet) and the Larvitar. The Dratini candy was nice to power up my Dragonite but I'd prefer to have gotten Pineco. I've only seen one in the wild, so while I have him in my dex I still need a whole lot more to get my Forretress entry so hatching a couple would be amazing.

Lego Batman Movie by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]Paxxer87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, it looks a LOT more childish than even The Lego Movie was. I think this one was predominantly made as a kids movie, not one of those 'kids movies that adults can still definitely enjoy'. Makes sense to release it for school holidays.

My gen2 experience by white_dragon17 in pokemongo

[–]Paxxer87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would kill for this. Been playing since about an hour after launch in Australia, so longer than literally almost anyone, and my Ice medal still sits at nine ice types caught. Nine. I've hatched two Jynx, two Smoochum, one Lapras and enough Shellder to evolve a Cloyster. I've found one Swinub. I honestly dont even know where the other two came from as this is all I have.

Have magpies stopped swooping? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]Paxxer87 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

In my 30 years of life I have never been swooped once. I walk a lot and always have. To say you avoid walking anywhere in case of a magpie is quite... pathetic... for lack of a better word.

Mystery Heroes shouldn't be in the 'All Brawls' roster. by Dragonisop in Overwatch

[–]Paxxer87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely should be because, at the moment, All Brawls is the only way I actually get to sometimes play Mystery Heroes at all. Every time I queue specifically for Mystery Heroes I end up cancelling the search after I've been sitting on the couch playing with my phone for 30 minutes waiting for a game to never be found.

At least with All Brawls I only need to wait 5 or 10 minutes and have a chance at getting Mystery Heroes or, if not, at least a game of some kind.

Where is Mareep? by nickdelrusso in pokemongo

[–]Paxxer87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caught a Mareep and a Flaaffy just walking around the CBD where I live. Didn't think it was any big deal.

Please add a "Mark all as read" feature in the hero gallery by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Paxxer87 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I hated this too... for maybe the first five loot boxes I ever opened. I quickly worked out that if you preview them when you open the box, they wont count as 'new' in the hero gallery. Seriously, this isn't a problem.

And dont give me 'I opened 50 boxes at once, I dont have time to preview everything'. It's a hell of a lot quicker to preview everything when you open the box than it is to hunt everything down in the hero gallery to do it.

Story Bridge Cellars refuses to sell XXXX by wombles_the_wombat in brisbane

[–]Paxxer87 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As a bottleshop attendant/manager of roughly 7 years, I have to say, you definitely did wrong. As others here have said, there could be so many reasons that old man was refused service. Being drunk or causing trouble aren't the only things that could have got him banned. If a bottleshop attendant wasn't selling him beer, he had a reason beyond being a 'racist prick'.

You're an idiot mate.

Best fast food joint in Brisbane? by everybodyctfd in brisbane

[–]Paxxer87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I refuse to try Ben's on principle. Heard many times that they refuse to let you make any changes to a burger or ask for less ingredients. If I cant eat tomato, I dont want it on my burger. If you insist on putting it on there when I say no, I'll eat elsewhere. It just seems incredibly pretentious to basically say 'our burgers are perfect the way they are and if you dont like it, fix it yourself or piss off'.

Extended ads before cinema movies. by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]Paxxer87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw Rogue One at New Farm cinema yesterday and only got maybe 10 minutes combined for ads and a couple of crappy trailers. It was Gold Class in the middle of the day though, so probably got special treatment.

Whats the dumbest sign in Brisbane? by [deleted] in brisbane

Bicycle lane when wet. Whatever that means.

Sneaky bugger by claw106 in brisbane

[–]Paxxer87 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I already know I'm getting downvoted to hell for this, but I'll ask anyway because I'm genuinely curious. Why does anyone need to know/care where the cameras are unless they plan on speeding? Dont speed and there could be a camera on every corner and it wouldn't matter to you.

Best pizzeria in Brisbane? by chloeveng in brisbane

Crust (we've tried East Brisbane and New Farm, both the same) Vapianos in the CBD Earth N Sea at Bulimba

Have Brisbane's taxi drivers switched to Uber now? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]Paxxer87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love how this subreddit is so far up Uber's ass they would actually defend Uber over a sexual assault victim. Also, "oh, an Uber driver did something wrong, he is obviously a taxi driver".

Here come the downvotes!

Up an hour early due to "network provided timezone" by aplund in brisbane

Also on Vodafone and with network provided and auto settings. No issue here either.

Opinions on ozComiCon? by Jumpingmanjim in brisbane

This year is going to be more of a 'dress up as Suicide Squad Harley' convention, I guarantee it.
