This is getting beyond a joke

SimCity 5 - Edit freeway anywhere even outside boundary, still saves and syncs!

he also changed it so he can keep playing after 20 minutes of offline PLUS he fixed the population display.

 

[pieatorium]

Downloading, do I have to be online to play it? How do PSN+ games work?

No need to be online just like a normal game dl and play.

If anyone is up for some L4D1 or L4D2 action add me on steam - Sarquiss_

Haven't touched the game in ages but used to have a blast

 

[jambo]

But the traffic is fine?

Haha, completely missed that.

And it's weird because I posted the exact same think to Facebook a few seconds beforehand, but I didn't mix it up on there...

Added. Not sure if anything will happen tonight, but next week there should hopefully be a tonne of matches. Probably this weekend as well, but I'll be at Oz Comic-Con Adelaide.

How does it expire though? Does it just stay active until a certain time or expiry of PSN+?

Knowing that makes it worse that I am missing out

NZ is good....well apart from being told that the company is going to be restructured and there will be a couple hundred people made redundant The pay is good though so hopefully I survive (Have been told that the team I belong to won't be affected but it is better to prepare for the worst outcome)

As long as you are subscribed you can keep any games you download.

edit: if your plus subscription runs out then plus games become locked but you can resub anytime and the games you got while you were a member previously will unlock again

I'll do some L4D2 on the weekend if a versus game can be organised.

Not too big on campaign. After 1600 hours or so campaign doesn't do much for me anymore.

 

[jambo]

I want to play some custom campaigns, but yes, versus would be awesome!

On that subject, a few of the best custom campaigns on Steam Workshop have been built to work with Versus, so that could be interesting.

 

[TheFury]

I've got a few of the custom campaigns, those I don't mind since I rarely play them.

Not sure which have versus. Been a while since I've played any of them.

Versus on them sounds good though.

Both the Eels and the Bulldogs tonight were rather ordinary. Though given the performance some of the Eels players put in, they should've gotten pumped (still so much better than last year, I'd hate to image the 2012 Eels playing tonight). There were some glimpses of brilliance from both sides at times, but Inu looked like his old self tonight. Some of the refs calls were fucking terrible, but they didn't affect the game too much.

Hayne needed to be involved much more and provide much better options than he did. Sandow continued to impress me.

I cannot get over the monstrous tackle Loko put on Williams. When Loko came looking for work, he delivered, but that tackle!

Posting on the bus on the way home so if something looks off, that'll be my phone.

[Bernbaum]

The words 'Abbott' or 'Tony Abbott' hardly ever appear in headlines on the frontpage of theaustralian.com.au or thecouriermail.com.au.

Photos of the man are also conspicuously absent.

Paradoxically, he's almost ensured of a win at the federal election.

You will, however, read all manner of material on Labor's incompetence and re-used articles of leadership woes amongst the party.

Maybe, those newspapers editors know that Tony Abbott isn't good for the coalition's image.

Maybe, the absence of the man's name or image is an editorial decision.

Maybe, the editors have a favourite horse in this race.

Maybe, just maybe, they're using their outlets to influence the likelihood of a conservative win at the polls by intentionally avoiding any direct mention of the coalition leader's policies; minimizing any visual reminders that the man exists; and simply playing the waiting game as the incumbent government inevitably dismantles itself.

Leigh Sales does some great interviews, not scared of asking the tough questions. Though all of this is over now that the date has been pushed back until June.

I haven't watched the 7:30 Report ever since the start of the format change but did they get around to ditching the woeful Chris Uhlmann yet and just let Leigh sales do her own thing? Because if so then I'm gonna start re-watching that asap.

Yep had a fun day. Got some nice pics of coulthard in the f1 car. Can't afford the other days except sunday.

Also majorly annoyed. Lotus only have 2012 merch here

You were there? You knew I was going, you should've let me know!

Man, when someone who owns a Dragon Ball Z set of pyjamas is too embarrassed to meet you out in public... that's when you really know you've hit rock bottom

That's fucked, and great he was able to mod it. But man, I think I'm starting to really like the music that's in these YT videos. It sort of reminds me of the bits in movies like Shawshank Redemption or even Usual Suspects where you see the pieces of the story fall into place. I might look into who did the score...

So I found this, from a QUT student:

So my assignment this semester at University is to help the LNP candidate for Griffith come up with a campaign to snatch young voters away from Kevin Rudd. It smelled fishy but I figured that our work would not be shared with the client and it was simply a real life example.

That is until today where the candidate himself came with full campaign gear to talk about himself and Kevin Rudd's weaknesses. His Young Liberal helpers also handed out pamphlets and gave talks about how the LNP uses social networking. This made it seem like we were more involved in the campaign, almost too close. So then our lecture ended with:
"Assignments I think are the best I will pass onto our client."
This is clearly the LNP using University Students to help their think tank knockout Kevin Rudd. I'm not sure what to think of it but I just thought I would share it with you all.

Dirty as hell.

Please tell me that's a) a joke or b) being sent to Crikey or the ABC

SimCity music has been amazing ever since SC3000. 3000 and 4 were done by Jerry Martin and are definitely worth looking in to, pretty easy to find online.

SC5 is done by Chris Tilton, who's done a few other games and has also worked with JJ Abrams on a few things, including the Fringe music.

Here's the full SimCity 5 soundtrack on YouTube with download links =]

Powering Down Google Reader
3/13/2013 04:06:00 PM

Posted by Alan Green, Software Engineer

We have just announced on the Official Google Blog that we will soon retire Google Reader (the actual date is July 1, 2013). We know Reader has a devoted following who will be very sad to see it go. We’re sad too.

There are two simple reasons for this: usage of Google Reader has declined, and as a company we’re pouring all of our energy into fewer products. We think that kind of focus will make for a better user experience.

To ensure a smooth transition, we’re providing a three-month sunset period so you have sufficient time to find an alternative feed-reading solution. If you want to retain your Reader data, including subscriptions, you can do so through Google Takeout.
