Stop talking about the NBN, it's getting me more depressed :(
I remember that dickhead Turnbull talking recently about making it a monopoly so Optus et al don't setup their own FTTP service.
Fuck this government.

Yeah will hang out for a decent price. Though I'm really just wanting to impulse buy one for trials fusion.

It's more expensive than I expected on current gen. Will wait for a Steam sale.

Yeah I doubt we'll beat 10% off this year in Australia.

I'm hoping for an XBO drop tho.

X1 drop is expected at E3 right?

Otherwise they seem to be bundling a shitload of stuff lately, like 2 games with XBL gold and X1 for $600.

I don't think we have any evidence or leaks to that effect, but it absolutely makes sense for them to come out of E3 with all guns blazing. Better to catch up now than risk continuing to fall behind.

Hopefully the big news everyone is talking about tonight is a surprise price drop!

It's either that or Lords of Shadow 3 will be announced. Not sure which is most likely.

Reptile Scorpio are you supposed to be like the Australian Wario or something?

I'm super lazy and post most bargains only on Twitter. But I'm indeed Australian so that means if it's too long I'll post it here. Twitter is too much effort for lots of bargains :/

I should get a job at the Australian equivalent of GameTrailers. Would that be The Australian?

Is a cable really that unbearable? Bluetooth headphones are all nearly universally bad for the price you pay. The Sony MDR-1RBT is one of the better bluetooth headphones out there but it has distortion through the roof. So if you really, really wanted one that sounded OK, the Sony you posted would be a good option.

All the decent ones are $300+ and that's basically entering high end headphone territory. They are products that don't really make sense unless you just buy a really cheap one.

I made a comic about Street Fighter 2010 and nobody even tried to stop me.

OFFICE CULTURE TIP: If people are often coming up to your desk with things for you to do just put a slightly scrambled Rubik's cube on your desk. The offending parties will approach your desk with something to tell you, get distracted by the cube, and then walk away as they can't remember what they came to you to talk about. Works every time!

Put a solved one there, then everyone will think you're smart as well.

I've owned both the wireless and wired versions of these and they are good, but give me terrible headaches after using for an extended period of time. I'm now using Corsair Vengeance 2100 and it's a very comfortable change.

Dear Nick & Jodie,

We wanted to thank you for your kind note & the wonderful wine. 1959 was a good year, even if it is getting further away! Thanks for all your support.

Kind regards,
Baz and Rosemary

He's going to double his yearly income by resigning and he knows it.

Also this Ars article on Steam numbers is pretty great aside from the fact that the publication that had been running a large scale operation on Steam for months and months had no fucking idea that the 'hours played' statistic only came in a few years ago!

Embarrassing they didn't have that kind of knowledge on Steam. I'm sure the rest of the data is pretty good but it certainly dents my confidence in their knowledge if they didn't even know the history of Steam.

Cheers for posting that, always interesting to see actual numbers not just people's guesses.

Basically pre-2009 Steam never tracked usage on your profile. so any games pre that date are going to be incorrect.

When many of the graphs/data involve games released before that time, it sort of invalidates the majority of the article for mine. Never mind that the original author never even knew that was the case.

It's definitely not actual numbers but is probably the best we will ever get. Fairly well structured but very flawed analysis so far. Hope the rest of the articles on it don't make stupid, inept assumptions using the data.

Still can't believe they missed the 'hours played' flag.

In the grand scheme of NSW political corruption, not declaring a $3000 bottle of wine is not very corrupt.

Can't believe he didn't just say "I can't remember if I received it. If I did, I apologise for not declaring it - it was a very hectic time and I'm truly sorry for not following proper process. I can guarantee it had absolute no impact on any actions by me or my government."

Would any one really have called for his head over it?
