Play Xenonauts. Unless you're a wimp.
Also consider Shadow of Mordor if you're into AC or Batman games.

1- you have a problem
2- you want to support the developer
3- you don't want Gabe to waste into nothing. His dietary requirements increase exponentially with every million dollars.
4- all of the above

yes, please feel free to post when GMG next has a decent voucher to compensate for the "regional pricing."

As a former collector, don't do it. Its not worth the headache, money and time. Specially with the bootleg market very high these days. The cheap games get boring quick and the good games are crazy expensive.

Is a 30% off voucher good enough? It's probably still valid.

See!
You can get keys from around the usual places for a lot cheaper than GMG, maybe even check the B/S/T thread here.
but den den town is so close!
ah i should probably buy a proper computer anyway.
and a proper tv

dmix has it for $48 atm. Not sure on the regular non-AU price though so I'm not sure if that's a good deal.
Actually that reminds me, have you already played Divinity Original Sin, r1chard?

I have it pre-ordered/paid off. I was on the fence about it previously, but I took up a really good trade-in-towards-preorder deal with it.

Did anyone pre-order Forza Horizon 2 from Dick Smith?
They still haven't sent mine out yet. Pretty bad. I pre-ordered with Shadows of Mordor, but I've been reassured by past buyers that they do indeed ship items separately. At this point, I don't think saving $19 is worth waiting a week+, when my XBO is just a paper weight at the moment.

Define barely use
I infrequently use my PS4/WiiU, and I only really use my XBO more because of its media centre functionality.
It's more of a subjective thing I guess....do you feel like you're getting good use out of them?

I'm glad I have them all. It's hard to say - I'm getting much worse value for money than I would out of my gaming hardware as a kid, because I bought the systems early, I buy games for them, and then don't have a lot of time to play them.
3DS is the system I get the least out of, I almost never touch handheld systems despite always getting them, lol. My DS was the same way.

Got it launch and barely used it until Destiny launched. Now I've played over 80 hours in Destiny and platinumed Infamous Second Son. 2015 looking pretty nuts for the console now, so I think it'll start getting regular use.
You've still got it.

Day of downgrades for me.
Boss bought a new radio to replace our shitty office one, even more spotty and unreliable trying to stay tuned to Triple J, stupid arcane technology >_<
Finally swapped my XP office PC for a Win7 one after staring at it with distrust for the last week. Runs slower than the old XP one and the writing is nowhere near as sharp which is giving me a headache >_<
DSE online is a crap shoot. Prefer to order instore for pickup unless it's a game I'm not in a huge rush to play day one.
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Time to hit up a raid tonight/tomorrow/sunday I think. You still in Death Jnr?
I still need to finish my Evil Expert run on Second Son. Damn Destiny taking up all my time

Sounds more like they didn't get their shipment of FH2 until late. Same happened with Diablo 3 UE, Should have been posted on the Monday, didn't get sent out until the Friday.

Yup. About to change with Driveclub coming out next week, though. I can only anticipate that every spare minute next week will be spent playing it.
Pretty much bought it for that game though, and although I've had fun with other stuff (either freebie PS+ titles or Second Son) Driveclub Machine is it's primary function.

Ding ding ding!
I've had a Wii U for a year and a PS4 for a month. NSMBU was okay but sort of boring, SM3DW was decent but far from Galaxy, MK8 is/was great. Destiny is okay but as a level 13 it's kind of lonely at the moment, and Diablo 3 couch co-op has been stacks of fun.
That's, uh, about it for me at the moment. Wii U is the most different from PC until the big PS4/XB1 exclusives start rolling in, but man it feels ancient.

Yes, tomorrow. Was doing hard raid last night. 6 hours and we only managed 1/3rd of it :/
Playing normal raid after experiencing hard is so funny.
I am I guess, but my game playing has fallen off a cliff this year, so even on PC I haven't much (the only PC game I finished this year was the Telltale Fables game). Its picked up lately though...playing a fair bit of Diablo and now Shadow of Mordor on my PS4.
Smash Bros looks so good though. You know you want it.
but you'll miss out on the 3dness!! the 3d effect is actually really nice in game
Pick up a PS4 for Driveclub instead.

I'll never understand why Smash is so popular. Makes me feel really old trying to think about it.
DSE has a click & collect bundle; Xbox One with Forza 5 and Destiny for $498. Currently a $25 off voucher tonight and if you buy through CashRewards you get another 3.75% back which would make it a grand total of $455 if there is a store near you to do the pickup from.

You love it.
Basically got back to the office, went to the toilet, ran the updates then went out to town lol. Will pick it up on my way home tonight
