Get down to Canberra and make eyes at some backbenchers. They'll go for anything.

Tropico 3 now DRM FREE! at GOG for $10
Of course I have asshole I was the one telling you to buy it! Played the PC version at launch with the fuzzy GFWL which made life fun. Have been slowly playing a mates 360 version but for $7 I can't say no. Too bad Armageddon has stalled for me, not sure if I will make it to the end.
Figured as much, just wondered why you bought it. Crazy sucka.
I will miss the bogan stories. Or are there more bogans in legit Bris??!
Looks fun, though I guess only relevant if you want to work in hospitality in the future. Aren't you doing like translation stuff? That's pretty good I reckon!shanshan310 said:
You have to do that now? I thought legal industry experience was required only for when doing college of law or somethin. Go do some like legal centre pro bono stuff, though that's not exactly proper paying lol.Jintor said:
Also, I'm not a pc person at all, nor do I know very much about the guy, but I just looooove watching John Carmack talk about stuff in interviews!

It doesn't matter. All the Brisbane news stories are about GC shootings anyway. NO ESCAPE.
I figure it'll be good for keigo no matter which industry I go into.
Bogans follow me. I know very little about Brisbane, though. I have more prejudice than familiarity.

They're different bogans in brissie than the coast. Less tats and cars, more flannel. More hipsters on fixies too. Especially in west end.

Ahhh good point. Yeah I remember the discussion in the japanese thread about getting used to keigo in a working environment.

Well, I don't have to, but it's better to. And besides, I should go see if I like the profession before I go do another fucking forever of learning un-interesting stuff.
Thought I'd share my experience with Harvey Norman with you all...
Purchased Prototype 2: Limited Edition a week or so ago online, and they didn't have stock, so a day or so after buying it online, I emailed them asking for a refund since they said it'd take a while to get stock...
I got an email stating the game will be arriving a lot earlier than expected.. And a guy from Harvey Norman called a few hours after asking if I wanted to cancel the order, and I said no, don't worry.
I received the game around two days later, happy and all, and bam, credit history states I've received a refund of $78.
So I basically got the game for free, heh. Harvey Norman you beauty.

Rep, you've got to stop saying things I don't like.

I had wood. Also Brad did well to keep up with him, once he got into refresh rates he was screaaaaaaaaming along the brain waves.I agree. Was just watching the giantbomb e3 interview about how he's like applying space rocket technology to his head tracking vr thingSo awesome.
I don't usually check out Giant Bomb because their videos are tiny and usually have a lot of issues streaming so I have to click pause and wait ten minutes which sucks.
Hah, they were pretty clueless when I got Motorstorm 3 from them too.
Still less shooty than the Coast at least!
Does this mean you took offence that I didn't enjoy WUB WUB WUB Korn?
Christ, no. I mean it's brain-hurtingly obvious that it would be shite.
Yeah I get that too sometimes, just go to their youtube channel!
Woo this 20 bucks I blindly plonked down for psn+ is turning out ok. Downloading Darksiders, Warhammer 40 whatever, Oddworld, Motorstorm 3. Will probably start Darksiders first since I have been meaning to play it due to the zeldaish parts of it.
Lots of good things about that game. Some painfully unambitious design, worse as it goes on, but the ideas in the combat are tremendous. The jetpack+thunder hammer combination is ridiculously wonderful and will take a while to surpass.

West End is fiiiiine. The only thing you have to worry about is hipster bars.
How amazing are you ? Very ?
Maybe, I haven't really done much at the moment and I feel like Act 1 is likely to end pretty damn soon for some reason.
Upside, finally found some somewhat useful items for once.
Yeah, it just seems so forced and fake. Eh whatever. I guess I will play through it the once for the story etc and then see if I can get the motivation for the other play throughs or whatever. Could be a good game to listen to music / podcast / other with.
The praise for the game does seem to come off a bit fan boyish doesn't it? Surely the gameplay is super, super polished, but the presentation of that seems a bit naff.
Nope, the game actually deserves all the praise for the gameplay and high production values. The story and dialogue are laughable but I don't know anyone that cares deeply about Diablo's story. I suppose anyone that praises that one aspect is a fan boy but everything else about the game is great.
It's pretty much the ultimate podcast game.

aww, if you can't spam your friends page with dicks and game spoilers what's the point?
Not really 
Ugh, cover letters are the woooorst!
It better be decent! I'm only downloading because I remembered you going on about it back when you played it. All I know about warhammer is painting little people.

PSP so shiny. Great screen, much nicer than my DSlite.
I find it's a great game to play after work, really quite cathartic. But yeah the story is total balls. I was laughing through most of it.
Also Prometheus is not without faults, but it's still pretty damn awesome. Made me squirm.
It's just great for melee to be the dominant element. Shooters are much more satisfying when the shooting is a complementary action.
The best bit is playing on a lower difficulty after a hard days work. One handed mouse gameplay is our friend. (This is why I join your games fredu
)Also, got an application OK'd, buut they need my house mates new job details. He has a meeting with them today at lunchtime to confirm everything so that I can get the details and send it to the real estate agent (arnie, its a 20 minute walk, located 5 mins near the corner of smith and johnston)
But.. He got home drunk at 1am.. Very drunk. I don't think he's going to wake up. So I set various alarms throughout the apartment and hid them.
