This is almost the same as a map I found for Tomorrow When The War Began.
That movie (I know it's based on books) deserved a sequel, shame it didn't do great.

Agreed
I thought it was really well done. The actress for Ellie wasn't the tough country chick I imagined, but otherwise all the cast were perfect.FormallyMegadrive

I got it on PC
Pretty much my sentiment so far.
Snow is mostly badass because he uses his fists.
Im gonna play for a few more hours before I give up (because I will)

When the War Began was a pretty good series of books. The second (or third) one contained a sex seen between Ellie and Lee. I was around 11 and it was the first sex scene I'd ever read in a novel.
Yes. I see.
"FREEDOM LOVING POTATO CAKE ?#@$%&TS"Facebook just gave me this.

Yes. I see.
also first novel i'd ever read with an asian kid in it getting laid

An imaginative work of fiction then?
I've never read the books or seen the movie (I'm more of a 'The Tripods' person myself) but it sounds like TV would be a better format for the setting, more room for explanation, easier to do on a lower budget, sell it to streaming services, etc.
I also like the idea of action fantasy series being made here.

Yeah I didn't big on the movie, mainly due to the structure. TV series is perfect for it.

What's with that awful South Australia cinema ad with that god awful version of Never Tear Us Apart?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C54oVTujWsk
Also TFA is even better the second time.

I've only seen the Red Right Hand version, which while admittedly really cool kind of seems weird with the lyrics.
Yes. Yes it is.

Omg I saw that in Hobart. We were watching it and cringing, then I realised it was for south Australia and apologised profusely. So bad.

Star Wars was certainly a cinema experience wasn't it.

Way, way back when I was in Year 12, we did a school grading test, one comprehension and one math to adjust schools for university entry scores and the English/comprehension exam included an analysis of Red Right Hand. Loved the song ever since.

Come to think of it, me too. I don't know if I've ever seen another example of the same kind of pairing in any other Australian fiction. The highest profile interracial pairing I've seen was in Looking for Alibrandi and these days that barely even counts.
Latino people just don't appear in Australian media, so I've never come across anything like the "Asian men aren't sexy" bias. Thanks in part to a bunch of other negative stereotypes, being cast as non-sexual in media isn't a widespread problem for Latino people... except for in That 70s Show. Fez is depressing for all the same reasons Raj from The Big Bang Theory is.
John Marsden taking all of our innocence.
Where did you see this? I see a price of $650, don't know whether its AUD or USD, regardless I don't end up at $550USD

Day one buyers would be damn happy seeing that price now, pretty awesome they are getting a free one. Good reward for supporting them at the start.
Pretty sure price is in aud, e.g. if you change to UK it changes to pounds.
True but it would mean that we pay less for the thing shipped than Americans would before shipping.
There's also a reply on their forums from a community manager saying the prices are in usd. Regardless of that I've sent a support ticket for clarification.
I will remain optimistic, if you change to nz the price goes to 699, also keep in mind our shipping is 130 compared to US 30. There is also the chance gst still needs to be applied to that 780.

Due to the Facebook money behind them I expected them to price aggressively but all the recent tweets/blogs have made it very evident they don't want to be disruptive initially.
This is more of a soft launch than a big coming out. Get the consumer version out quietly, get the games out, improve and make the thing cost effective before going mainstream with demo units in every electronics store and marketing all over Facebook.
I'm wondering how many day one supporters had theirs, saw the DK2, sold their DK1 to some chump (probably made their money back) and are now getting a free retail Rift. Surprised to hear there's not a lot of stories like that popping up.
reptilescorpio
Member
Pretty sure there was only like 6000 people who bought the DK1 I think? Kritz or someone might be able to clarify that.
Either way worked out well for them!
Looks like you might be right, add in GST overall and you have $1200+, time to think about it, stupid aussie dollar.

I have no issue with the local price for the Rift, just a victim of our low low dollar and insane shipping costs. Without a local presence I expected postage to be painful unless Oculus ate a portion of it.
