I probably should, to be honest.
Speaking of bullcrap, I read the other day that the upgrade path to FTTH wasn't factored into the cost review of the MTM proposal because it was purported that "we don't know when or even if the upgrade will be necessary". If I were generous I'd accept the "when", but "if"? Come on now.
That's the funny thing: if Howard didn't kick off the privatisation of Telstra in the first place we probably wouldn't even be having this discussion. In a roundabout way the Libs got themselves into the current situation.
You may be on to something there.

Dear Deal Octopus. Is there anywhere I can get some Playstation Move controllers for less than $19? Preowned is ok.

I'll keep a look out, otherwise hit eBay in the meantime.
OH OH OH
Target have Wonderbook bundles with the Book, Camera and a Move controller for like $28 at the moment.
Otherwise hold please and I'll keep and eye out.
I'm assuming it's for Sportsfriends?
There is no other possible reason to own a move controller.
Anyway, I should start the laptop search soon. Better trawl back through those pages...
Which depresses me. I really liked using it in the few PS3 shooters that supported it. It made console shooters kind of playable for me. And the few other move supported PSN games.
I rather wish Sony required it as an alternate control scheme.

Yeah JS Joust. Big W have them new for $19 which might be as good as it gets. You can play with Dualshocks but the light orb on the Move really adds some ambiance.

Yeah that's easily the best price jump on that!
I always forget Big W because I don't have access to them

Might just have to organise a Sportsfriend party night where everyone buys in because buying 7 Move controllers for one game is a bit mental. Awesome. But mental.
I already have a Move controller, so that's one less everyone needs to buy. Assuming I'm invited.
PS. Fuck you all for not congratulating me on my new pinball machine. Now all of you fuckers will have to pay if you want to play it. So there.

Fuck that, I already go to Barber Club where you get free beer if you want and there's a stupidly hot (female) hairdresser there with an even hotter NZ accent. Yep, that's right... an NZ accent is totally hot on women, it turns out.

God damn it I had no idea this free beer thing was so widespread, I want a free beer!

No. But it's not the kiss of death integrated was 10 years ago. You can play source engine games and some older console ports reasonably well. Maybe some F2P shit too.

Depends on your use case. There aren't any gaming laptops that currently exist which will do you for a long time if you're serious about PC gaming. I'm more of a fan of the "beastly rig + relatively weak laptop" setup. Even a cheap Surface Pro might be ok.

Yes. Although strictly speaking a high powered PC and a solid laptop will cost more than just a gaming laptop, the PC will be so much better at gaming, and the laptop will be better at being a laptop.
You should look for something with good battery life, relatively small and low weight with a disc drive I guess if you need that. Eliminating the 'must have good gpu' requirement will make your search easier.

Hissssssss
Not familiar with the current landscape. Also aboot to sleep
tdf is right tho, get something lightweight and enough for your everyday use. i mean, imagine having a massive gaming laptop in your basket when you're riding your cool japanese bike to school everyday. it would suck, cos that's where your bentos is supposed to go!
also, maybe box up your current stuff and have someone send it to you?

If you want it for travel, IMO that's way too big and far too heavy. Going for a Macbook Air or a Surface Pro is what I'd recommend.

Surface Pro 1's can be had for real cheap, sub 600. Pro 2 will be a bit pricey admittedly. If you know any uni dags you can get 10% off on MS store.

I don't get all the hate for apple laptops here. Solid machines.

Surface Pro does seem pretty boss
Apple sucks

You suck!
I find this post... OFFENSIVE!!!
Certainly that probably would be my preferred choice for a non gaming laptop, if I ever had need for one. Solid machines and I like OSX for the most part. Probably would run it on my desktop if there was non hacky options.
How many minutes of battery life do you get?
I get about 5 and a half hours out of my Surface Pro 2 running IE and Photoshop CS3.
WAIT WAIT IMPORTANT QUESTION: Is there going to be that 'carry a ball around and throw it into a goal and while you're carrying the ball you can't shoot but other players can and they're all trying to shoot you' mode that was in UT2003 in the new one? BECAUSE THAT WAS FUCKING GREAT

Isn't that in most FPS games these days? I remember playing it in Halo too at some point.
In any case isn't the UT game going to be community made/run? I'd expect it to show up Gaz!

And it will be FREE!
Fucked if I know when was the last time I played a multiplayer FPS :/
Well either way I'm crazy pumped coz UT was fucking awesome.
God damn just remembering how much I played UT and Q3 back in the day. Built my own maps and skins and everything. Good times!
