Having been twice, I definitely second thisif you're in the hills, you have to check out Hahndorf, Australia's oldest German settlement.
Lots of great shops, restaurants and cafes along the main street.
The large Pub/Inn place has amazing german sausages & pretzels
This week is going to be hetic - job interview on Wednesday, then for PAX driving to Melbourne on Saturday, driving back for my Dad's birthday, driving back to Melbourne on Sunday, and somehow trying to sneak in a record fair in Northcote to be back in time for the rest of PAX in the afternoon.

Fallout 4 pre-order for $59 at JB is a bit ridiculous.
I had no intention of buying the game, having never played any of the series, but now...

It's making me reconsider my Collector's Edition pre-order. I'm essentially paying $65 for a steelbook, bobblehead and lunchbox which is pretty insane. I haven't pre-ordered a game in about 2 years and now I'm already regretting it.

I feel like he's pretty popular. Partly since he's a nice guy comedian (and family friendly? been a while since I've heard his stuff so correct me if I'm wrong).
But I haven't heard about him for years, feel like he was everywhere for a while.

Glenn Robbins is so damn good. Underrated comedian. Although there was a tonnnnn of underrated comedians in that era/group.
80's were so good for Aussie comedy. 21st century pretty lean though.

Re: The Hahndorf talk - check out Maximilian's Restaurant just around the corner in Verdun. It's pricey but the food is pretty good and the venue is fantastic. Also try and get a hole-in-one on the golf island.
Also, re Glenn Robbins, I absolutely love the guy. And I love on HYBPA when Sam Pang (whom I also love) gets in to him all of the time. Especially the John Kerry look-a-like stuff. lol

Is it still recommended to get a US PS+ subscription? The conversation rate between AUD and USD is so weak now that I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

I was introduced to the Leyland Brothers recently. I actually really enjoyed the show but was confused by the random wet t-shirt shots in the intro.
Ah I see someone else noticed

Balls, keep lumping them in with the old crew, keep forgetting they ain't in their 40's!
AU is the way to go if you don't already have a US one. Can't switch and keep your licences obviously.

SA talk? Met a bar owner in Kanda, Tokyo tonight, who's originally from Adelaide. Quite fun shooting the shit with a fellow Australian.

Have you seen Kath and Kim moongred?
it's quite a different kettle of fish to Russel Coight but Glenn Robbins is brilliant in it also and it's a good sendup of bogans and aussie suburbia
Russel Coight/Kath and Kim/ The Panel (mostly) is this century though!

Oh yeah, The Big Gig, Doug Anthony All Stars, The D-Generation, Fast Forward etc. They were all amazing.
Very much an acquired taste though and doubt anyone watching them for the first time today would enjoy them.
However, Pissweak World. Love the Martin/Molloy street interviews too.
There Came an Echo's is really good but I'm not sure how it stacks up against those because I haven't heard most of them
Definitely worth checking out Undertale,
I say as my icon is a character from that and i have gained a reputation on the dota thread for shilling undertale
you can try the demo for free too
its 2 years older than the actual game, so that area has had some balances applied in the actual game in comparision, but its a pretty good indicator of the themes & feel of the game
As a side-note, my favourite three soundtracks for games I played this year (few of which actually came out this year) are easily There Came an Echo, Cloudbuilt and Boot Hill Heroes
It's on my list of things to play I just need to get around to it. I'm playing Rome: Total War for the first time at the moment so it might be a while XD

Take a listen to AC:Syndicate's. It's really beautiful score with some great chamber orchestra tunes.

Hotline Miami 2's soundtrack was the best thing about Hotline Miami 2.

So what bar we going to?
I was planning on going to the Co-op drinks on Friday night but yeah pick a place you're all meeting up it would be good to swing by.
Where are you guys planning on spending the most amount of time at the show? I think I'll be sinking quite a bit of time in the retro area of course, but I also need to see what's happening in the indie showcase and see my pals who are demoing games. I also am keen to get some D&D in at some point and there's a couple of panels over the three days I'm wanting to check out. But MAN is it nice to just be able to wander around and check out the show this year. Anything in particular I should go see?

25% off at target eBay. Must. Resist. Sales.
When I'm not going to see a panel/talk or wandering the show floor to see the sights, I'll probably be doing my usual thing of hanging out in the board gaming area.

Only item I might be interested in is Guitar Hero Live but I already am getting into Rock Band 4 currently and don't think I want two different guitars cluttering up limited space. Would also have to learn the different fret structure of the guitar (3 x 2).
I guess I could return Uncharted collection and get it cheaper. Meh. Not worth the effort.
