Yo Alpha, keep us updated on this as time progresses, I'm really interested to see how this all pans out :P
OK heres an update on plans and progress so far., plan atm is that if the house doesn't sell by the end of September then it should be all ours.
we have been doing some more budgeting and decided on a couple things, We will be getting multiple internet connections, 2 or 3. That we be getting a set amount of money for utilities each week instead of at the end of the month ( this is just the easiest way with so many people), if the utilities bill goes way over the budget we have given our selves then we will split the difference between the rest of us.
That we will all be putting in small amount of money each week to help pay for house hold supply's such as garbage bags, cleaning products, toilet paper ect. And a small amount of money each week which will go to a cleaner to help do things like sweeping, mopping, wiping benches/dusting, cleaning widows ect (not there to clean up your mess you are responsible for that).
Atm we are looking at somewhere around 170-180 per week for all those cost together.
We are looking atm at getting 8 people in the house (9 if 2 people take the upstairs bedroom) and 1 bunk room. the bunk room we are planning to get a pair of bunk beds, and this will be where people will be able to stay if they choose to come visit the gamers house for a short period of time, example an intense training week before a big tournament.
the one I'm looking most forward to is setting up the gamers room
here we will have enough table space for all the people living in the house as well as some extra for people who have come to visit and train. looking at setting up a couch and a TV where we can set up a xbox 360, and some other consoles just when you need a break from sc2.
Like to remind every one that this is just planning still and nothing in concrete but so far its looking great
I'v had a great response from people so I plan on working as hard as I can to get this up and running and then continue that hard work as manager to make sure it runs as smooth as possible, and we can really show how awesome Australia and SEA E-Sports can be >.<
I'v had a lot of people PMing me their interest, so once its finalised I will be putting a application form out for those who continue to be interested. And for those of who don't make it in, or cant come to live here just remember that there will be space to come stay and visit and have a try of the gaming house experience.
you should see the 260/wk i'm paying now for the small dickhole i'm living in
man, I live in a 2br apt for 1700/month T_T If I lived in Brisbane I could just have the master br to myself and be happy for like a third of what I'm paying now!

Well, some disappointing news for us but some good news for my parents.
About 3 days before we were set to pull the house off the market (at the end of September) the real estate agent let my parents know that he had a very interested buyer, and as of today the final contracts have been completed.
So unfortunately (and I'm really bummed about it) the Brisbane gamer's house will not be going through
Was awesome to see all the support by every one for the ideas, I got somewhere between 15-20 people already applying for it or showing serious interest, before I had even officially announced that we would be able to do it.. So if any one ever gets the chance to do something like this I suggest you jump on it.
I really hope that I will have the chance to be able to do something like this in the future and I will grab the opportunity if it ever comes.
I feel happy for my parents sake, but very disappointed for something that really coulda been amazing in Australia ESports.
