History has taught me this: When the dollar rises against the US, it usually takes a few months to adjust because "this is inventory that was bought when the dollar was weaker. It will take a little while until we're using the cheaper stock. Don't worry, we're excited to pass on the savings as soon as we can! We love all of our customers so much!"
When the dollar crashes, this means that it is reflected immediately because... ummm... shut up and fucking pay us more money, is why.
(Also know as the CAPITALISM, HOOOOOOOOOOO! paradigm)

Great. Just great. Now I have to add Shadow of Mordor to my list. God, just when I thought I'd only have 4-5 games, to last me through the rest of the year, now I have to get this.
Thanks Warner Bros. Thros.

Dollar going down will make our property cheaper to overseas investors. Not going to happen.

Yea, figured. Least it means we get more AUD when we move some cash over.

Seems Monolith hit it out of the park thankfully!
WB moved the release earlier AND allowed reviews to come out long before release. Always a good sign they are confident in the quality
Yup, damn supply coming from EU/UK is why we usually get delays so they can shove other languages into our games >_<
This has immediate impact since I'm guessing a lot of people are like me and just buy games online from shops that sell in USD.
Just bought the Tripwire bundle on Steam. Why do I keep buying shit lol.
Yeah, it will help with that.

This kind of rampant consumerism is the worst. I would personally never engage in such appalling behaviour.

I was always going to get Shadows of Mordor because I'm a Tolkien fanboy. But I wasn't expecting to want the season pass and the deluxe edition that's exclusive to EB because the game is turning out to be just that good.
Fuckcakes.
Wait, what's exclusive to EB? I was just going to get it on Steam...
I think EB got the Deluxe Edition as an exclusive.

Forgive me father, for I have sinned and unintentionally promoted EB...
But:
I know how you feel. I got burned on Aliens: CM and Watch_Dogs.
I'm allowing myself to love again.

Yes. Weird that the premier platform would get first dibs.
Just looked up the season pass on Steam (weird that it was nowhere on the front store page of the client for me) and saw this:
Eh, not sure if want. Kind of ruins the lore.
There is no love, there is only pain and broken promises.

Yes, I am trying to talk myself out of pre ordering the premium edition

Love will come again.
And yeah, a lot of lore breaking moments in it apparently. I'm guessing for mainstream fan service reasons like the aforementioned.

Digital pc version is out worldwide at the same time, the physical copies on (presumably all platforms) are delayed in Aus and Europe.

You can get the season pass on the cheap, look for Russian traders in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread.

I have zero interest in LotR do I'm fine with them ignoring the lore in favour of making the most fun game possible lol.

Just realised one of the writers from Red Dead Redemption is doing Shadow of Mordor, that bodes well.
Hope the 1080/60 on PS4 is as solid as possible.

You're worried about the dlc ruining the lore but not the super assassin man talking down a couple of thousand of Sauron's forces?
I haven't seen how much impact super assassin man has, my alarm was set off when I read about confrontations with Sauron though. But wielding the One Ring is a while nother level to killing a few thousand orcs.
Cool.
So I have like three assignments due in the next two weeks, plus two exams in three weeks, three-weeks of work monday-friday starting from october 6th where my performance is being evaluated and then I have two weeks of unpaid work placement after that..
And what happens this morning? My mum literally threatens to kick me out of the house because I don't accept her "personal" experience that the doctors attempted to kill her with drugs due to malpractice, and despite her heavy bleeding after having my baby brother two-months ago and having to go to the hospital because of that, she tells me outright that would've been better off staying home in that condition and just drinking water, oh and the only reason she went to the hospital because she didn't want to deal with her son that believes in those awful things like science and reason and the medical establishment that would have given her shit for making that clearly irresponsible decision, because basically I almost indirectly killed her by indirectly pressuring her to go to the hospital with my mere presence and the fact I can't accept that makes me a selfish terrible abusive son that deserves to be kicked out of the house.
Thankfully I've managed to calm her down so I'm not getting kicked out yet, just went to the library to try and get some uni work done but jesus christ this situation is beyond fucked up, and who knows what's going happen when I get back home.

That's tough laf
Don't forget it's gotta be tough for your parents, everything they believe in being distrusted by their own son. Even if you are correct it's gotta be tough on them mentally, but it seems a bad scenario and I'm sure they don't blame you, just venting.
they seem like good peeps when I've met them so hopefully things are alright.
Cruncho has a spare room should you need somewhere to crash.

Oh in terms of last resort stuff, I already know there's some friends who'll definitely help me out who live in geelong and they are older and pretty financially secure (gotta love my political activist connections). But I don't want to burden them too much, still haven't even called my best friend because he just got in a situation where he has to move to a another place in the next 2-months because his landlord cracked down on his hippie commune 
But yeah I tried so hard to acknowledge their personal experiences but it's really really tough especially since to take a objective stance on it.. their beliefs are absolutely dangerous, worst part is the whole conversation was started by my mum who went on about some anti-vaccination rant which then lead to you know what.

Chin up, Lafiel.
Anyone got a workable address in a sales tax free state in the US? Oregon, Delaware, etc. I want to change my billing address in some of the digital download stores so I don't pay Washington state sales tax any more now that I'm no longer living there.
Also, anyone bought a 50 ish inch TV recently? Any recommendations? There's a Bravia I'm looking at- 800b series -that looks pretty decent.

I use the comGateway remailer service that gets me a Portland address that I use on amazon for (mostly) digital items. Doesn't cost you anything to get an address, just when they remail you stuff.

awesome, thanks, Quasar.
in other news, Playasia sells digital codes for various iTunes stores, XBL, PSN, etc at face value so it might be easier to buy credit on the non-AU stores.

yess I've been keeping up with it, looking very forward to it.
I'm interested to see how it will go with 4 people from an open casting call this time!
I've watched a few episodes. At first I was like eh but it's grown on me a lot, worth watching for sure.
wtf
