Explain this to me like I'm 5 and don't know how to use the google yet.
Oooh, I saw a copy of Gauntlet, Bard's Tale and The Red Star today.

It's a pretty/easy way to get media off your PC to play on your TV. You control it via smart phone/tablet.

Plex is a software package that allows you to stream video from your computer to other devices in your house. This way your TV or PS3 (PS4 lol) can play any video your PC can even though they normally might not be able to.
You can even do this wirelessly, but it's less reliable.

I am now let back home.
The meth lab thing was what a number of neighbours said, apparently independently, but it appears to be wrong.

Do it.
I'm all for just a weekly thing, I have Tuesday/Wednesday off, and work the rest of the week. So I am used to just doing stuff when everyone else does.

Just bought this for my brother for his birthday. Because, nostalgia:
On that note, does anyone know about this retro gaming competition thing being held in Geelong this Sunday? I'm not a big one for comps in general*, but I do like retro gaming.
*except when it involves winning a medal for best Tempest 2000 player at AusPAX! Hi Mar_, Gaz
But I didn't think it was underrated anywhere?

You're smarter than you look. Too late for me to type anything condescending here, sorry.
Pretty much. Pinball is the wave of the future!
The best home version of Outrun was Outrun 2 for Xbox. They pulled it back too far when they ported 2006 to all the other consoles
But I didn't think it was underrated anywhere?
This, so much.
Have you heard of XBMC? Plex is a fork of that that's made into a client server mode so all the heavy lifting such as transcoding is done by the server part and the clients such as chromecasts or set top boxes in theory don't have to be very powerful at all.
I love it.
As for chromecast I use it for plex as well as streaming other media (google music, youtube, netflix, pocketcasts, crunchyroll). Its a nice simple general purpose streaming device. I just wish it supported more audio formats and was wired to handle higher bitrates.
Also
Blood Will Tell, Metal Arms, God Hand, Pac-Man World 2, Shadow Hearts series, Splashdown 2: Rides Gone Wild, R-Type Final, Way of the Samurai, Wrath Unleashed.
Sometimes I'm like "Man, fuck all the cat videos on the internet". But then I see a cat playing Jenga and then I'm like "Fuck it, whatever".
FYI if going to BigW for Mario Kart, use this voucher as well:

RPG Maker is this week's Humble Bundle. I bought RPG Maker. I will never make an RPG. Why do I do these things?!
In other news, if you own an iPhone you can now read my comics super-easy thanks to the folks at Comic Chameleon. YAY!
YES.

I grabbed it just because at that price why wouldn't I? I doubt I'll ever actually do anything with it but my friends and I used to play around with, like, RPG Maker 2000 or something?, so it's nice to have there in case I do ever want to just tinker around with it.
How do you get Netflix working with it? Last I read the DNS settings were hard coded.

Not this time around. Had already pre-ordered at the EB closest to home by the time they announced the city midnight launch, and was told I'd lose my Blue Shell edition if I tried to transfer it over.
Me too, love it!!
Think I'll pick up Borderlands 2 for the Vita this weekend. RRP is $39.95, only $3 more than the price on ozgameshop.
I love me some Borderlands! The pre-sequel doesn't look like it's doing anything different but it looks like fun so I'll grab that for cheap on PC (looks like you can get it for around $50 on most sites which is the right price).
I'm not sure how Quasar does it, but I have the DNS on my router set up for Unblock-US, so all devices on the network are able to use it.

I see a lot of talk of Brisbane in here. Let's have a meet up, chaps.
Also, I was trying to get my girlfriend excited about Mario Kart. Her response was "Mario? I don't really like Mario. He's a dick". Ah, I love her so!

PS+ is great next month!
Make sure to grab these today if you haven't already
New PS+ games entering on Wednesday night at 11pm AEST
From here on out there won't be any more yearly titles, which sucks as you lose 2 PS3, 2 Vita and 1 PS4 game per year BUT in return there will be an extra PS4 game very month. So win for PS4 owners but loss for PS3/Vita only PS+ers.
Happy to get 4 Vita titles this month!!
Only $33 digitally here too! Expected twice that.

I've been saying for years it's the best FPS going around. Spent at least 1000+ hours in TS2. Would love a proper remake with all the editor/MP stuff.
It's effectively an Android tablet for your TV. You can browse Chrome stuff on it but it's mainly for media centre stuff. It will be used 100% of the time for Plex in my lounge so the PS3 can be retired back to my office. Plex is super easy, next time it comes up cheap on Android I'll give you a heads up. Just an app that lets you run a program in the background of your PC that lets you stream it to the Plex app on the Chromecast/etc without having to convert any files. Gets a lot of use with kids TV shows/movies since the discs get lost/scratched!
Someone in my Twitter feed was reading this yesterday! Seems popular, might have to grab the series from BookDepo.
You should buy a cat. They can play your pinball machines while you're at work!
Yeah $40 is a great price, glad they were able to offer a smart price here.
Only $33 digitally here too! Expected twice that.

I just wrote a thing about how I liked Stick It to The Man!, but it didn't go through because reasons.
So, I liked Stick It to The Man!, so play it.

Just from reading, apparently it will ignore that and still use the hard coded Google DNS server. But what you can do is set up a static route on your router to redirect any traffic headed for the Google DNS servers to a dummy address, and then it will fall back to what you have listed in the Router.
Although I don't know why you couldn't just set up a static route for the Google DNS servers and redirect straight to the Getflix/Unblock Us DNS servers.
Huh...that kinda sucks. I think my sub is running out soon, but I'll probably still re-sub. Then by the time I get a ps4 I'll have some serious backloggin
Also wooooo dragon's crown!!!
Ah, fair enough. I mainly use Netflix on my PS4 and Blu-ray player, and they're less picky.

We have the leader of the Brisbane 3DS Streetpass group in here, maybe we should all turn up to one of those meetups.
When I started my first office job the company set up my Super for me since I didn't have one previously. Most places do the same.
I recommend SunSuper because they have had a good track record of growth with me and a good life insurance policy as part of the package.

Don't tell the wife I'm worth more dead than alive
What do you mean by no "yearly" titles? Were there titles that were available for a whole year vs. just a month? Regardless, happy about getting another PS4 title monthly, even if it'll probably just be an indie one.
Also, Dragon's Crown. Nice.
That reminds me, the WiiU my brother's getting is the MK8 one. You can use Wii classic controllers with the U, yes? Because I definitely want to give it a crack against my bro.

Uncharted 3 and Little Big Planet Karting were free all year on PS+.
Also I think the Vita Uncharted was the same.
Better to have 72 free games a year though!
