Someone will be fired over this.
And as I posted in the AusPoliGAF thread this may actually be illegal.

Finished DD. Good show.
"Stoked for Avengers? Avengers? Avengers?
I hear Marvel got really hands-on this time and really penned in Joss Whedon creatively so, how could that go wrong?"
Didn't love the finale

MKX and NetherRealm are on the shitlist until they apologise for this unacceptable bullshit.
THIS is what is fucking up games. Redesigning your games to nickel and dime customers. Fuck you MKX. Fuck you WB.

How could it not be. Sony has owned Psygnosis for 20 years.

Whatever dude. I want an apology for the game literally not working on PC for 12 hours after "launch" and now only partially working because of a technical fuckup.

Why would they apologise for a typical PC port launch?
EDIT: Oh wait, High Voltage did the PC port? lol. No idea how those fucking hacks keep getting work. Outsource to fucking Nixxes or Bluepoint ffs.
What idiot of a creative advertising agency thought this was a good idea?
Probably how much they charge, PC is usually treated like the bastard child that relies on the community to fix the games. The ports usually end up being significantly better than their console counterparts, just takes time.

It's so stupid I can't even get mad.
I watched it too, felt like a wonderful time warp!
I don't see the issue. If you don't want to unlock everything and are happy just playing the game, there isn't a problem. It's just alt costumes and things like that yeah? Feels like the internet is being a crybaby about this one. Will be grabbing MKX today.
I'm kind of on board with the new Guitar Hero Live that was just announced too.
Anyone else see that Splendor in the Grass lineup? Very nice!!

Games usually at least let you get into modes. For some people. This was literally the entire population of PC players downloading a 3GB menu and unable to do anything.
By the way, people are doing investigations themselves about the koin reduction issue and it seems to be untrue. The reduction was caused by repeating the same missions over again, you don't get as many koins the second time around.

As if gamers wait for facts before being outraged!
Self-entitled outrage is the modern bane of existence.
How good was it as far as menus go though? Pretty good huh?

Chill out dude. Wait for them to fix it. Stop being so entitled!
Yeah pretty funny it was reported by media and then 6 hours later is tested be gamers on here and found to be bunk eventually. I shouldn't be shocked by that I guess.
Heh you obviously didn't check the link
Both Crave and Destructoid were the ones reporting the issue that seems to be untrue, the GAF thread came from those games media reports
Amazing.
Holy shit. And I didn't even realise that wasn't the thing Gerstmann posted about unlocking easy fatalities, but some other nickel and dime bullshit. I expect (and encounter) it in their F2P iOS crap, but not for a full price game.
I'm guessing it'll get changed back, but that it was super easy for review copies but changed post-launch is deplorable. Can't imagine Netherrealm were behind this change, though.
Ungh, yes. Don't care, I own a PS4. You should buy one as well.
They did? Shit. I thought that Netherrealm did it themselves. Didn't they do MK9 themselves?
Yeah, that's what I was initially talking about.Probably how much they charge, PC is usually treated like the bastard child that relies on the community to fix the games. The ports usually end up being significantly better than their console counterparts, just takes time.

Whoa, beard's coming along well!
I will one day, when there are enough games that I want to play that warrant a purchase, same goes for xbone.
Saw the image on FB the other day and figured the beard must be you.

Nah High Voltage did that one too. They also did the wonky current gen port of SR4 & Injustice. They are well known for their ZoE collection on PS3 that required another developer to step in and fix.
To say I'm happy with how it looks is underrated. Even better is that the girlfriend doesn't hate it! Woo!
Ohhhh. I didn't realise they did the next-gen SR4 which I knew was a complete turd. Why the fuck do they keep getting work?
Is the PC version fully working (yet) at least? Or are they hoping hacks come out to fix them? Hopefully at least trainers are released for unlocking the koin-related stuff. Can't believe MK went that way, it's by far my most hated F2P->full price feature bleed.

They keep getting work because they are cheap I expect. Otherwise it would be Nixxes/Bluepoint all the way!
PC version of MKX is a shitshow as expected. Omi said there is no microDLC for it so I have no idea what they are doing about the "easy" mode stuff or the coin packs.
Glad they didn't nerf the coin payouts. Still NFI how games media ran with that for like 6 hours before gamers debunked it.

what are you looking to study?
I have no direct experience of Evocca, I just know a fair few former colleagues who are tutors there.

Yeah, I think everyone reaches the point where you realise your parents are just people and you need to move out to keep growing. Recently, coming back home after living abroad to my parents breaking up was kind of the tipping point for me. Everything is so petty and it's starting to feel like I live with housemates rather than parents.
It's sad laf, and I hope you're able to patch things up, but it seems like you've disagreed with them on a lot of things for a while now. Hopefully this is your chance to live the life you want to live (and move closer to Melbourne).
Nice! I love how you look way more enthusiastic about that medal than anyone else in the photo. It's a friggen medal! They should be excited about it!

So, in three weeks of my current Internode billing cycle, I have used 100 GB of unmetered downloads. No Steam or XBL so that's pretty much all Netflix. And I have only watched Daredevil and about half of Arrow S1.
I shudder to think what 4K would do if I had a fast, but metered, connection.

We're on the 1TB thing now.
We've used 11% of the data allowance in 17% of the time (5 days into the month currently according to our cycle). So it looks like we'll make it but damn. In fairness, 35GB of the 100GB so far has been Steam downloading Mortal Kombat X.

In know many on AusGAF are into board games, and I was wondering if there are any board game fairs where you can buy old board games? I'm looking to get my old Hero Quest expansions and Ebay isn't really ideal. There must be markets or whatever where you can buy/sell old board games?
Thing with Hero Quest is it has become weirdly collectable and sort after.
Board game cons do tend to have a trading area though, so worth keeping on eye out for a local con.

Evocca was on current affair a few nights ago.
Take that as you will...

http://www.evocca.edu.au/latest-news/evocca-college-responds-to-a-current-affair-program/
Found lite n easy good for a month or so, but the meals got so repetitive (didn't help that I only really liked about 7 of them), also it's way overpriced for what it is, even with the token 15%.
We're on 600 GB at the moment and when I downloaded GTA V, 58 of the 59 GB was unmetered.
I almost want it to be metered, as we are so far behind on using our quota. I always hate when there's a decent amount left over.
Hah, it was a little bit of a pisstake/goof-off, but I figured "why not have some fun with it?".
I actually did way better than last year as well (from third or fourth last to sixth) so I was genuinely pretty happy with everything, but yeah, just me being a dork!

Ah cool, thanks for the info. Tempted in the past to give them a shot but we are writing up a better meal plan here rather than put our faith in a delivered service.
Hey man, don't take my word for it, taste is subjective after all. Some people really like it, and it has the advantage of taking the guess work out of your meals which helps if you're trying to lose weight. But at $250/week for my gf and I, after we (really just me) got extra disciplined it really didn't make much sense. There are better (as in nicer) alternatives out there but they cost even more.
edit: My jive right now is a fitbit hr combined with myfitnesspal (mfp syncs with fitbit and vice versa) for keeping track of all the numbers, we even have a wifi fitbit weight scale which automatically syncs the data. Now that I have just started getting into riding a push bike soon I will have that data syncing with it all via strava as well. Connected future rocks for all this stuff
The breakfasts and lunches are quite good in my experience. The dinners aren't that great but it's worth a shot if you're curious imo. Lifestyle change is better long term though of course.

What Heroquest expansions and where are you located. I bought a couple a few years ago because I liked the idea of having them but they have just sat in the cupboard since.

Yeah meal plan is the easiest way to get things going. Just need to stick to it lol.
Main issue has been stress management. I feel like if we could get that shit on lockdown everything else would be a piece of piss.
Still not sure if breakfast is for me or not. I can generally get through to noon without being hungry, portion control is another big thing we have to keep on top of.
Also fuck. I got DDP Yoga like 9 months ago and haven't done a full week of it yet. Really need to set aside time each day properly and stick to a timeline.
