Yeah the Aldi brands are really good quality. I get disposable batteries from there, they seem to last as long as Duracell et al.
I'm fully stocked up on Eneloops from cheap Dick Smith deals ages ago but I might try some in the future if we get some devices I don't want to worry about throwing out later on.
The game comes out on September 9th, which is a Tuesday.

For you, the biggest game of your life comes out on September 9. For me, it is a Tuesday.

I failed at calendars at school. I was looking at August by accident
PC talk: The International qualifiers for Dota2 happening. Played some Kentucky Route Zero, it's an amazing work of art and everyone should get on it. Played some Intruder it's a janky alpha for a fun tactical multiplayer game which has ridiculous physics. Got into the Heroes of the Storm alpha so will have to see how that plays.

You should buy a Xbox One All In One Entertainment System so you can understand!
40-60fps.
Fairly good for the most part, some spots it has big dips during cut-scenes/QTE's, especially on PS3 which drops 10fps more than 360 at times.
You have MGR on PS+? If not the 360 version at $8 is a great pickup.
There's a ton of guides out there if you google 'chromecast netflix australia'
(can't grab a link atm as I'm forced onto an old version of IE here are at work now >_<)
It was on PS+? In that case, I have it. Must be coming down with a case of the reps
Edit: Found it. Woop.

I'm a maybe. I'll see closer to the date.
Back from getting my bottom right wisdom tooth out. Quite an ordeal. Not in terms of pain during (that was painless), but time. Took a whole hour for one tooth, which involved lots of gum cutting and drilling into bone that was apparently somewhat adamantium like, and then finally removing the tooth in pieces and then stitches (first time I've ever had stitches in my mouth).
Then being told to take cocktail of prescription painkillers (panadeine forte), over the counter ibuprofen and prescription antibiotics.
Now I'm home for an hour with a still numb half a face. Fun times ahead when it all wears off I'm guessing.

That sucks, I had all 4 out surgically. Woke up happy as Larry and was just sleepy for the next 24 hours. After that no issues, barely any swelling/pain.
Hope it settles down okay!
Then please understand
Target are selling them for $2 apparently. Leftovers from the Basic WiiU sale.

I remember not liking Fifth Element when I watched it when it came out. Maybe I should give it another try. Nah.

At the Target near me, they keep cardboard boxes in a metal cage on wheels right in front of the Wii U section. It's there 9/10 times and you can't get past it to look at Wii U things.

I bought it on your suggestion and wowser, you were right. It's exactly my kind of super meat boy esque, quick fire round with high reset counts. thanks for the recommendation
the only downside, being an early access game, is that the game's pretty tight for content. The first two sets of levels are fantastic, but the WIP levels have some real stinkers in them.
But they seem to be set on the mechanics side, so really there's nothing left for them to make EXCEPT for more levels. So I can't wait for this game to expand out to its full release.
And I guess I should go try Gaz's game at some point too

Screw that, Fifth Element has held up just fine. Feels like a product of its decade, but doesn't feel any way worse for it. It was always pretty cheesy and a ton of fun. I remember leaving the cinema with a big smile.
I find it difficult to believe there are people that don't enjoy the Fifth Element.

5th Element is the best

Agreed. It knows what it is and what it wants to be. Very unique and enjoyable. Still holds up remarkably well due to that fact.
Ton of amazing people worked on that movie, very much a passion project.

4.5 hours into Baldur's Gate: EE. Never played BG1 before, only played BG2 a bit as a kid.
Jesus fucking christ this game is
1) Hard as fuck
2) Incredibly slow with character progression (still level 1, nearly 5 hours in)
3) Representative of how shit the D&D ruleset is for a videogame
If BG2 is like this no wonder I never finished that as a kid. I get ganked by gibberlings sometimes if the roles go badly. I'm doing my best to keep my squishy mage characters out of the line of fire but every now and again a missile weapon or something will instagib them, or they'll get caught on geometry and a bear will wipe them in one shot and I have to load my last save because the game has permanent character death.

BG2 is heaps easier because you don't start at level 1 so you can't get killed in one hit by crits.
BG1 there is like something on every screen that can kill you. Honestly I would just drop the difficulty for some harder encounters (the friendly arm inn is bullshit) and look up where a few good items are hidden (there is a +1 suit of insect plate armour hidden in a field near a farm on the way to the mine). Not sure if the updated edition lets you hold tab to highlight chests and hidden objects like you could in BG2 but I hope it does because otherwise it's a pixel hunt for secrets. Abuse that shit if you can.
If you aren't enjoying it just skip straight to BG2. It's a much better game and all the story stuff gets explained to you straight away except for one NPC who dies in the first 5 mins.
I find it weird that as 10-years old I practically cruised through Baldurs Gate 2.. and to some extent Baldurs Gate 1 (although I never finished it). Nowadays when I play it I literally overthink everything, from how the D&D rules work, to how I strategize etc.
Planescape torment though.. I had serious difficulties as a 10-year old playing through that. Probably because I didn't get the story/dialogue focus over BG and IWD.
