The Aldi brand Kettle Chili chips are fucking awesome.
Everything is just in shambles with this government.

is it possible to get an adapter/controller these days? :'(
Controller shouldn't be that difficult to find. Third party adapters (like the 4 port Mayflash one that works natively with Dolphin) were pretty cheap until they jacked up the price but they work perfectly fine.
Stan is actually pretty good, though its longevity will be judge by what content they can get. Securing Roadshow was a good move just after launch so we shall see.

Birdman was good.
Yeah like the first 2 seasons. Just like Sea lab, but that dude died too.
I really enjoyed it. May have gone on 10 minutes longer than I felt it should have, but the shooting style and the score and the improv drama / beatnik style of the movie worked really well for me.
Just stumbled upon these too. Kettle chilli are my fav chips, but these are making a run. They almost seem more spicy???
rooster, pinocchio is a lot more emotional than misaeng or my love from the stars.episode 12
I'm gone. oh god ;_; when he signs off the news report. oh lord.

you just reminded me of this one time I was jumping on the trampoline at night and above me were those trees with the spikey pom poms...
LIKE THIS
and I felt something fall onto my head, which got stuck in my massive curly hair. I brushed it away thinking it was a spikey thing but IT WAS A REALLY BIG BROWN SPIDER and I ran into the house and cried
I can't tell if your story sounds worse than mine though both are pretty traumatic
shoulda thought of that before leaving!
i dunno, i kinda don't look at the stuff and just focus on what i got here.

What a waste of powder.

BRB making specific trip to Aldi for more chips. They have more flavour powder on them than the Kettle ones Rezbit, which gives it a fuller flavour but is surprisingly accurate overall.
Dude who used to be my best friend before I moved for work went to Nepal and I didn't know for 12 months lol. Time sure flies, especially when you aren't constantly bombarded with social stuff.

Personally I think it's too hard to quickly switch between the shoulder buttons on the Gamepad to play Smash but that might just be me
That's the same reason I stick with the GCN controller, that and I find the c-stick placement works better for me when i'm being reactive, i.e. need to spam it quickly without thinking, muscle memory

By some miracle I managed to grab a gamecube controller adapter when they were up on Amazon. I just couldn't play smash on the pro controller. Maybe I like having the gates for the GC analog stick too much. Feels way too loose on the pro
Should arrive tomorrow so I can finally play the game I bought 2 months ago

If you like the Gamecube button layout but can't get an adapter, there are a few replicas about. I believe the Hori one is considered the best of them: http://www.play-asia.com/wii-u-battle-pad-mario-paOS-13-49-en-70-8esj.html
They plug into the Wiimote and should be compatible with anything that supports the Classic Controller. A lot of games do, I've been using my Classic Controller Pro a lot lately, because I'm too cheap to get a proper Pro Controller.
No analog triggers, but I don't think anything on the Wii or Wii U supports them anyway. You probably couldn't use them in a GCN emulator though, for that reason.

I played through the first episode of Life Is Strange, and I think it has the potential to be the best narrative game yet. It's very similar to Gone Home, but framed more as a Telltale style choice game. It does have a strange timetravel gameplay hook, which I could pass on really, but it's as much a mechanical element as it is a story beat.
Tonally, the game feels like... this is gonna sound weird, but it feels like a short story. Like, a book, made by some obscure author who writes teenage fantasy stuff. And what I mean by that, is that it feels really consistent throughout the episode. The writing style, and the story beats, they all feel like they're of one mind. You know how The Witcher has all this deep seated lore and history because it's based off a fantasy series? Life is Strange feels like someone wrote a book about being a teenager with timetravel, and then someone else is adapting the book into a game.
Who knows if the "season" will wrap up to anything meaningful, but the first episode was incredibly solid, and it feels like this might finally be a narrative game that gets the narrative right. So, I'm excited. Hopefully the release schedule isn't as shocking as Telltale's or the Kentucky Route Zero team.

Kentucky Route Zero has a team? I assumed it was one guy working part time on it while he goes in and out of comas for months at a time.
I'm implying KRZ has been going on foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I want to play it but no way in hell I'm paying until they release the whole thing, been burnt like that before
I really liked it. though for some reason I thought of Quantic Dream before telltale.
Practically my only complaint is with sections where the engine let the game down, such as all the raining scenes.
I did find it interesting how they integrated replaying choices (something I normally hate - consider it cheating) into the normal gameplay.
I actually found that I would choose not to replay certain scenes, just to see how the game responded to me. Ever since finishing Mass Effect, I find it really boring to go pure paragon / renegade in choices. And it's nice when the game acknowledges that you were a bit of a dick earlier on, or that you did a nice thing to someone.
I'm glad that the game at least tries to make certain dialogue options ambiguous, where you won't be able to min-max choices to get a perfect ending without using a guide or past knowledge. There are a few moments where it's like, oh okay, the game obviously wants me to prevent this girl getting suckered in the back of the head by a football, but a lot of the major choices feel like they're all in a decent grey area.

Pond were great, Little Dragon seemed good from the snippet I saw, Jungle were really good, Royal Blood were one of the best live acts I've ever seen and you MUST check them out, Banks was disappointing (love her music but her show felt very lifeless), FKA Twigs had a great stage show that's definitely worth checking out, Vic Mensa was very disappointing, Flight Facilities were amazing (and a certain artist redeemed themself with a cameo there).
I loved Remember Me and had no idea until today that Dontnod had put a new game out. I'll definitely have to check it out now.
Yeah I'm really enjoying the service. Will be interesting to see what gets unvelied when Netflix officially comes to Aus.

I went to Brisbane on the weekend.
Royal Blood - Rocked out hard! Check these guys out for sure.
St Vincent - Really enjoyable, maybe my favourite of the day
Banks - Decent but unremarkable
FKA Twiggs - Definitely worth checking out, one of the highlights
Jonh Hopkins - Best electronic music of the day, easily
Future Islands - Pretty meh
Rustie - Pretty meh
Flying Lotus - Pretty meh
And just how weak Netflix Oz is. When does it even launch? I guess not before the Stan free trial runs out.
I'll admit with the falling dollar, the non-terribleness of Stan and the amount of actual use I get from netflix has made me ponder whether to just cancel my Netflix account.

Even better, looks like there is a second Wonder Boy style project on the way. From that thread:
"In fact, I have left my job at Media Molecule a few months ago and with a couple of friends we are independently working on a different Wonder Boy / Monster World related project! I don't know when we will be able to announce it. But I guess this message itself is a bit of an announce! So there might be not one but two games. -- Game Atelier's one is more advanced and will probably be released way before ours! Eager to play it."
Netflix will launch in the March window, reportedly. I read a news article this morning saying Netflix has acquired the rights to alot of Disney content, which could be a big move.
If both services have good content, I could stay subscribed to both. $20 a month is still a good deal.

If its anything like US Netflix and Amazon Prime, both services will likely have an 85% overlap of the same content with some exclusives for each service. Ie, like gaming systems.
