Are people still doing that Ice Slurpee Bucket Challenge?!

 

[senahorse]

Oh, just to fill out the story:

It was two teenage girls (around 13?) One had a normal round bucket. The other had a mop bucket.

The Mum was in the car and hopped out to take photos of them with the buckets of slurpee. She was supportive.

Just kids being kids.

There is a can of coke in front of my screen blocking a few inches of screen space.

I just keep looking around it instead of moving it.

And now i'm talking about it instead of just moving it. Why. The humanity.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Awesome, planning to run a ton of public events tomorrow. Once I go up to the next Vanguard rank I can buy 2 armour pieces. I'll have enough coins for Xul on the weekend too, despite getting fucked over with the weekly strike >_<

The new queens wrath missions seem to provide guaranteed legendaries, so try them.

 

[dishwasherlove]

Yeah we will run those Queen missions tonight. Although Manax is only level 22 but with the 3 of us we should be fine.

Sweet, I'm super keen. 3 legendary items ahoy!

What's your brothers PSN ID? I'll add him when I get home.

We get the 'new' 3DS before the US. 21st November.

Thanks Nintendo. Now if you just get that localised version of Fatal Frame 5 I'll be happy.

 

[Deeku]

the hell, since when were there aus nintendo directs?? lol

also, glad the coloured the buttons are there

 

[Gazunta]

Oh FUCK WELP GUESS I'M GETTING A NEW 3DS BOOM YES

And the day before my birthday COME ON IT WOULD BE RUDE NOT TO BUY MYSELF ONE

 

[Quasar]

Since now apparently. Too bad the hardware is still archaic.

Normally I like to buy Nintendo's minor revisions but even this one seems a bit too minor for me.

Did you go from psp to vita? I mean, the only upgrade was even fewer games.

I've been waiting to get a 3DS XL, this is the perfect chance for me!

ya, i will probably skip

probablyyyy

like, if the xl had the full coloured buttons, then i would have totallly been sucked into buying it. coloured letters is unacceptable!!

 

[reptilescorpio]

Manax-au

Awesome, thanks!

Can't play tonight sorry. Got a friend up from Geelong, totally forgot :/

 

[MoonGred]

Skipping this 3ds upgrade would be so much easier if they didn't lock games behind it.
I'm wanting to say that I'll skip it, but for reason I'm already expecting to cave. If MM ever gets a remake they better not lock it behind the new 3ds

Spoiler

or I'll just have to upgrade =(

 

[Ventron]

My decision so long ago to not buy a 3DS until a revision with a second stick was released has been VINDICATED.

SO VINDICATED.

SO VINDICATED.

The three games that might actually use it were certainly worth the wait, I'm sure.

 

[Ventron]

The three games that might actually use it were certainly worth the wait, I'm sure.

If they released a twin stick model earlier then there would be more I'm sure.
But twin stick was only the original reason way back when, simple stinginess and busyness became the main drivers now.

There are other things I like about this like the adaptive 3D and I think it may become their new generation of portables given we are almost due for one.

 

[ClivePwned]

I already have an AU 3DS and a US 3DS XL, I think I will stick with those. Unless of course they release a Mario or Zelda that doesn't work without the new nub.

 

[Rlan]

I'm disappointed that the Australian Nintendo Direct wasn't very flavoured Australian. It was exactly like the Japanese or American ones. Japanese buisnessman sits down and tells you what's coming out.

Where's the flair? Where's the fun? At least Sakurai goofs off staring at Bananas and battling with Reggie inside a 3DS.

I'm not expecting this guy:

But at least someone cool.

SIGN THIS PETITION TO GET VOOKS TO PRESENT FUTURE AUSTRALIAN DIRECTS

SIGN THIS PETITION TO GET VOOKS TO PRESENT FUTURE AUSTRALIAN DIRECTS

No petition needed, just do it Nintendo. It makes too much sense.

 

[Darren870]

Just got my Nexus 5. Very nice phone, bit bigger then what I am used to. Suppose that is the way forward though.

Any must have apps to get? Tend to just use a phone to game a bit, internet browsing, and take pictures.

 

[MoonGred]

Can't remember who recommend neutral milk hotel a couple of pages ago. Thanks though!

A bunch of free Android apps from Amazon AU. Includes Another World, Sonic 4 ep 2, Threes, Swype, Sketchbook Pro.

 

[senahorse]

Sweet, our oneplus's are due to arrive tomorrow, thanks for the heads up.

edit seems I need to download this via the phone, any other way I can get it, or do I need to install bluestacks or something?

You need to install the Amazon appstore app. Instructions are on Amazon's site.

Edit: That's to install the apps. You should be able to "buy" them without, through the website, but perhaps you need to register an Android device with Amazon first. Been a while since I set it up.

 

[senahorse]

Seems you have to install the software first, I have an S3 here I can do that on, but I wanted to get them for my gf as well, trying an android emulator if that fails I guess I can just change logins on the phone.

 

[Gazunta]

Sketchbook Pro was the most expensive iOS app I bought and worth every God damn cent, I loved that to bits and used it every day

Spoiler

until about four seconds after I got my Surface Pro 2

so yeah grab the android version all you budding artists out there for sure

2 must have apps.

Amazon appstore. They have free app deals all the time, including one a day. Plus you can get free "coins" which work as credit you can spend on apps.

Google Rewards which sends you really short surveys every now and then that earn you store credit! Never pay for an app again between these 2 stores.

 

[senahorse]

Aww crap the first one I put through defaulted to 'my' US address and charged me $15, now I am in chat to get a refund as I have 'returned' back to Australia, oh dear...

 

[bodyboarder]

So I can't unlink my Nintendo id from my old wiiu. Nintendo for the win.

Forza Horizon 2 and Shadow of Mordor out next week, good stuff to come back to after my honeymoon.

At the moment with all the wedding stuff going on, I'm playing about an hour of Destiny when I get home (my wife to be is really understanding of my gaming habits. If she wasn't, I wouldn't be marrying her). Really enjoying PvP.

Fixed all that in 3 minutes, Amazon have the greatest customer service.

Isn't Shadow of Mordor the 8th?

Not according to Steam.

Looks like the retail version is out on the 8th. Weird.

I still haven't seen anything on prices for Horizon 2 on 360 :/ Or any fucking details whatsoever, for that matter.

Hey AU friends, I'm working on a game prototype about fire propagation and am looking for some feedback and also don't know where else to post this?

Here's a sweet vine of the prototype: https://vine.co/v/OaxBY6MIJZI

I'm looking for broad feedback. Is it any fun? Is it too easy? Is it incomprehensible?

$69 from JBHiFi is pretty decent.

Seems like it should be less though, especially with the XBone version being $69 at a few places.

 

[Gazunta]

PhotoShop I'll check it out tonight! Thanks for the heads up!

 

[trinest]

Yeah I feel like the 8th was the original date and it never got pushed forward in Australia?

Yup they are really amazing

Hm. That's a surprisingly decent price for JB. Maybe when it's sub-$50 and I actually fucking know something about it, I'll get it. It's about the same price as the rally DLC for the first one, anyway.
