I always figured you'd be killed by the shock of playing a modern game =P

Holy shit what a deal! Mannnn if I lived in QLD I'm not sure I could pass that up.
This is a bit of a weird question but
someone forged my signature on a lease agreement.
I had no idea about it but it happened two years ago apparently and low and behold the lease is up and they didn't pay some amount of their lease so now I've been roped into it.
Luckily it's a poor forgery that isn't my handwriting and the signature looks nothing like mine, just put it beside my drivers licence and it's clear as day.
Soooo what can I do? Who should I go to?

Gah, someone's asked me to buy her a Surface 3 Type Cover (specifically in red), but it's not really discounted anywhere in Australia. The cheapest one I can find online is this...

...and it's missing the "J" key.
What a bunch of okers.
I would contact the local police. That is an identity crime.

One of my best friends' birthday party at the Fox at 12. Another of my best friends' going away party at the Ex at 8. I'll have to go home in between to drop off a bag of stuff but I'll see what I can do!
Sup Ausgaf, having a cold in summer sucks.
You know what doesn't suck? Just Cause 3 on PC! It's like JC2, but it's prettier and more explosiony!!!
What year do you reckon was the best year of video game releases? Lexi is talking up 2015 big time. My money is on 2004. UT2004 and HL2 came out that year.
Anyone going to watch The Game Wards and PSX this weekend? I am a conference addict, so I'm up for it.

Christ alive, that is sort of amazing. Alpha 2 is rad and surely something like that usually costs much much more right? Damnit.

Isn't TGA on today? I thought I'd miss it because I'm at work.
2007 is probably the best year. Mario Galaxy, Orange Box, Crysis, Bioshock, Mass Effect, COD4.
98 was pretty great. I think in terms of games that I could still play today, and the year where so many major series made their debut, it has to be 2007.
Played and loved these:
Super Mario Galaxy
Portal (series debut)
Half Life 2: Episode 2
Team Fortress 2
Bioshock (series debut)
The Witcher (series debut)
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer (still one of Obsidians best)
Crysis (series debut, still best in series)
Puzzle Quest (series debut)
Stalker: SoC (series debut)
Viva Pinata (series debut)
FIFA 08 (not as good as 09, but a significant step on a new engine)
Aquaria (amazing indie metroidvania before indie exploded)
Halo 3
Mass Effect (series debut)
Forza 2
Crackdown
Metroid Prime 3
Chibi Robo: Park Patrol
Etrian Odyssey (series debut)
Other significant games:
CoD: Modern Warfare (MW debut)
Uncharted (series debut)
WoW: Burning Crusade expansion
Gears of War (series debut)
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Europa Universalis III
Rock Band (series debut)
Skate
Rainbow Six: Vegas
Assassins Creed (series debut)
Any year between 1998-2001 is the correct answer, especially on PC.
I figured I'd watch TGA archive tomorrow.
Hang tough!
Yeah 2007 stands up pretty well.
Nice, I'll probably do the same.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've had a cold this year. After four years of living in Taiwan, Australia must be like a day off for my immune system.
Is there actual destructability in the game? I remember playing JC2 and being put off by many factors - the main being that there was generally no consequences of shooting/bombing places. Mercenaries 2 was a far better game.
1998.

Could always go to both. I'm open to suggestions.
FUCK THIS FUCKING COLD GAAAAH.
I'm right under an air conditioner at work and it's just making it worse. *flips table*
Best years in games - 1988 was fantastic. Lots of big name, fully featured C64 titles like Bard's Tale 3, Katakis, GREAT GIANA SISTERS, Caveman Ugh-Lympics, Microprose Soccer, Last Ninja 2, Cybernoid 2, Target Renegade, Ultima V, Wasteland and Lucasfilm's fantastic Zak McKracken. Meanwhile the Amiga was starting to get the games that defined what made the machine great - Carrier Command, Rocket Ranger, Xenon, Battle Chess. The GameBoy had Tetris and was like a real gaming console in your hands.
1994 was also fantastic in many ways. The SNES had Donkey Kong Country, Super Metroid and Unirally. The MegaDrive was doing similarly well with a strong lineup of games released all the time. New consoles like the 3DO showed promise (man did I love 3DO Need For Speed and Road Rash). Street Fighter games (and movies!) were plentiful. PC gaming was doing fantastic (Wing Commander 3! Jagged Alliance! Doom 2! Warcraft!) and there were still games coming out for the C64 like Lemmings and Mayhem in Monsterland.
2000 was a lot of fun - great Dreamcast titles, the PS1 doing well with games like Final Fantasy 9, Driver 2 and Spyro 3. And games like Diablo 2, Perfect Dark, Majora's Mask...so much fun.
2007 was incredible for many reasons. Rock Band. Portal. CRACKDOWN!
If you go to the Elephant I'll be right next door! Just like the first meetup I missed where I was at the movies with my ex

2015 was a bust for me apart until the last few months. The Order was awful, BB and W3 held no interest for me so I avoided them. Batman AK, MGSV were awesome. Gears and Rare Replay were the only remasters I picked up but both were great. Splatoon and Mario Maker were fun for short periods. I enjoyed this years CoD (last year's had better single player, this year was better multi), Battlefront- I like to complain about but I've still played it for 11 hours. Halo 5 was fun for a bit even if the campaign sorta missed a few tricks. I have TR ROTTR but I haven't cracked it open yet. Fallout 4 has been excellent and I guess I'll be lovingly trudging through that between now and the end of the year. JC3 depends on them patching it.
I don't think of a best year but I have a few faves. I didn't always play the games in launch year, but anyhoo these are the ones I played and loved.
1998: Banjo Kazooie, Ocarina of Time(GOTY), Spyro the Dragon, Metal Gear Solid, Rogue Squadron, Half Life, Rainbow 6
2001 (through some weren't released till 2002 here). MGS2, Halo (GOTY), Luigi's Mansion, Rogue Leader, Tony Hawk 3, Max Payne, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, Jak and Daxter, Red Faction.
2007- Crackdown, Bioshock, Halo 3, CoD4, Mass Effect, Super Mario Galaxy, Orange Box(GOTY). Uncharted (lets not get ahead ourselves, the first game was good rather than great).
2008- Burnout Paradise, Battlefield Bad Company, Mirror's Edge, Fallout 3 (GOTY), GTA IV, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
2009: Borderlands, CoD:MW2, Uncharted 2 (GOTY), ACII, Infamous, Red Faction Guerrilla, Saboteur.
2013 Lego City Undercover, Super Mario 3D World (GOTY), Windwaker HD, A Link between Worlds, Luigi's Mansion 2, Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Last of Us, GTA V, Tomb Raider
Those are my best gaming years
also: Gaz deliberately doesn't list GOTY 2007: Viva Pinata: Party Animals with it's soundtrack of the forever.
Missus is away this weekend so I have the house all to myself. I've got a slow cooker going with some lamb shanks, dishes are done. Time to contemplate which bottle of spirits to buy this weekend. I'm heavily inspired to get some whisky after seeing this!
Wheaty's got a bunch of new beers coming out in the next few weeks, including this guy. I might just head up there this weekend...
I got myself a pretty cool adult colouring book the other day so I might have a go at that too. Something to do to relax and de-stress. They're all the rage at the moment lol.

Gonna post a picture of my arcade machine playing Alpha 2 when I get home.

Homeworld
Age of Empires 2
Quake 3

Omikron: Nomad Soul
Other noteable:

Such a good year - even though I didn't actually play Banjo-Kazooie and Ocarina of Time until the following year. I got them both for my 11th birthday. I didn't actually have any desire whatsoever to play a Zelda game, but mum thought that I'd probably enjoy Ocarina of Time and bought it for me anyway.
She was absolutely right.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
Considering how we were in the PAL ghetto, 1998 games were basically 1999 games for us anyways.
Stuff blows up good lots, but not everything. For that you will have to wait for new Crackdown.
My wife is super into coloring in. Has been for years, so you could call her a hipster who says she liked it before it was cool.

Ozbargain'd royally at a guess. Though if you do go feel free to pick me up a PlayStation tv for $30 if they have any left.

I've got a big case of "sales fatigue" after missing out.
Or to put it in less-fancy terms I'm just in a big huff that I missed out.

I have two leftover $30 psn cards. $48 for the pair!
We had some issues nationally today with users on Telstra unable to connect to our services intermittently, no one else, only telstra. Users on various different broadband or mobile broadband connections from different accounts, all cities and regions of aus. System was 100% fine for all other ISP's globally.
fucking telstra business support.
i've been transferred to my 6th department now. Each time I brief them on the issue and ask if they would be able to assist. they say yes.. then i go into detail and they palm me off
