Anyone else here excited by this? Tesla Powerwall
(There's somewhat of an OT about it here)

I'm of the mind that as far as creative mediums go, games have more in common with art installations and exhibits than film. Games can certainly learn from film, but I think when it comes to storytelling, the medium has to use its own strengths (interactivity, exploration, experimentation, manipulation) rather than another medium's (framing, pacing, time compression).
Don't forget the Power Glove. Movies don't have the Power Glove.

Yup. Very interesting.
Given it's active now, I'm curious to see what sort of speeds I'll get when I get home tonight. I need to clarify something though: if I just set it up on my PC, my PC won't be able to access any other networked devices, correct? But if I find a way to set it up on my router (which I think it can do, it uses DD-WRT) all devices can still see each other, but they're all going through the VPN?

A good point. It's media.

Crackdown?

I have cracked down all right, cracked down on people using mediums as a plural of medium instead of media. TV is a medium. TV, Film, books and newspapers are media.

Scary games are way scarier than scary movies too.

Not as scary as poor grammar. I nearly shit my pants when reading GAF.


In other news, I discovered I am a pedantic twat who stares out the window with tears in his eyes.

Mel Smith and Rowan Atkinson put it into perspective.

I'm watching this A-League game right now.

It seems on-par with the quality of football in Scotland.

Anyone here picking up Project Cars on the PS4 this week? Seen any good deals? The best I've seen is $79 at JB Hifi but was hoping to find it about $10 cheaper.

Target & Big W usually have the best prices. Catalogues should be out Tuesday night, I'll post in here the prices.
I still haven't finished Driveclub so I'm giving it a miss lol

Nah, all of us have moved upwards because of lots of banwaves that have been happening. We range from nova 2/3 -> MG2 on the higher end.

We all drag Hamchan down to our level though.
 
as each day passes I remain convinced the only way to enjoy media based on comics is to never have read the comics.

I'm gonna see AoU again this week, is there an Imax version anywhere in Brisbane? Does Southbank still show movies in imax?

I keep dipping back into Driveclub and have played 15-20 hours but the handling model still isn't clicking with me. I went back to Forza 4 for comparison and instantly the cars felt so much more weighty and real to me. It might just be what I'm used to but I find the handling in both Forza and Gran Turismo games much more convincing.

Most hype boxing match being boring reaffirmed my belief that scripted fighting in wrestling is more entertaining than real fighting.

Yeah sounds like the fight went as I expected. Opposite of entertaining.

Going to spend my evening rewatching Lucha Underground I think. That shit meets the hype and then some. This weeks episode was interesting SPOILER
poor Drago, I loved watching you in the ring dude :(

Time to watch Wellington vs. Melbourne.

It's nice watching football on a semi-regular basis again.

Edit: Oh wait, this isn't live? I wonder why every second TV channel here is playing the exact same thing.

Spurs look like shit. We don't want to win it at this point >_<
What even was that last play? They had one second on the clock which is enough for at least one dribble and a shot, instead they go for some high risk alley-oop that hardly ever works.

Gutted, but that will probably be the best series of the whole playoffs.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Weighed in this morning at 88kg. Fluctuates between that and 90kg, but yeah. Stoked. Was originally 107 - 109kg.
