I looked around a bit for a villager but couldn't find one. I mean, I woulda just go a mario for the sake of having one, but they all kinda looked a bit dodge imo.

danger 5 season 1 on netflix us

Both seasons are on the SBS on demand app.

so exploding kittens.
have we worked out if it will be cheaper to add to someone elses order and just split the shipping
or should we just order separately.
if so, anyone in melb got an order i can jump in on

I figured I'd wait till I can play it at PAX Aus.

All I'm saying is take your $50 and spend it on alcohol and you and your friends would have just as much fun. Also there are plenty of card games that I would still consider worth playing after owning for awhile. Tichu (can even play with a normal deck of cards!), Hanabi, Race for the Galaxy to name a few. Hell I reckon even Uno has more of a game component than Exploding Kittens. Take that money and put it on the Final Attack! Kickstarter instead.

 

[Jintor]

what if you spent $50 on amiibos instead

 

[Jables Swan]

Don't purchase this abomination of a thing.

While I don't care about the game at all, people can buy what they want. People have different tastes and different groups to play with. They can play what they want. I can't stand a game like Love Letter but I know some of the blokes I play with love it. I just normally don't play it.

 

[jambo]

Mega, the bot broke again. It's not working on the Steam end.

 

[Dryk]

Is it just not relaying the chat or is it spewing out gibberish again?

 

[jambo]

Steam chat fucked up so it's sitting by itself in a splintered AusGAF chatroom.

Once. $50 won't buy a good deal of alcohol for many friends at all.

How many are as appealing to the masses, though? Sometimes people don't necessarily want depth or something that's "better"... otherwise people would watch Citizen Kane over True Lies and Die Hard every day of the week.

Ah, the truth comes out. Game X isn't getting as much funding as Game You Hate and you're bitter.

So the eventual WiiU haul will be SM3DW, NSMBWU, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart and Wonderful 101. I gotta play Pikmin 2 first but Pikmin 3 will be inevitable. Am I missing anything critical? How essential is Nintendo land?

This purchase is solely for first party games. PC gaming is just too damn rewarding and cost effective so all my cross platform gaming happens there.

Personally- SM3D World, Lego City Undercover, Windwaker HD. If you want a hard 2d platformer, DKCR TF is more fun to play than NSMB U (but also incredibly frustrating) MK8 is pretty good and I don't even like racing games. if you like 3D world, you might want Captain Toad down the track.

Amazon just sent me an E-mail, I'll be getting the partial refund.

After the previous partial refund, it means I now paid ~280 AU dollars to get a GTX 970, on launch day, shipped to Australia.

God bless America

Ugh why didn't I buy one like this when I had the chance ;_;

Vanishing of Ethan Carter and Defense Grid 2 are making my 560Ti whine (though only when the case is closed for some reason...). It's not something I'm used to so it's pushing me to upgrade faster. It also has me worried because the only 970s that will fit comfortably in my case have widespread whine problems.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

When something comes out to replace it, I'll be happy to sell you mine.

Hyrule Warriors is pretty neat if you're into the repetitive Dynasty Warriors action or are after some Zelda fanservice

 

[toastyToast]

Hey Toast,
I've added you on 3ds friends btw. i put my friend code in the monster hunter google doc if you want to add me back.
Holycheck/Ham/Donk are all playing MH4 also.

ps. you should jump into IIRC chat!

will do

Being unable to communicate mid-game is driving me bonkers

Also I cracked and bought a 3DS XL because of targets return policy. They charged me the non-discounted price!

 

[HolyCheck]

Bored at work, some people here might like the fruits of my efforts: Some If You Are The One SMS tones:

Enjoy.

My aunty msgd me on the weekend asking me to make her a ring tone from one of their songs. Said she'll buy me a schnitzel.

If it's in there, you just gave me a schnitzel. Ty.

 

[HolyCheck]

I have a samus amiibo cos the build quality is actually kind of okay

i've been tempted to just grab amiibo since availability is not a problem in glorious nippon but i'm stymied by the fact i don't really actually like that many of them enough

probably will get a lucina amiibo tho

You wannaa do an ausgaf order for those of us that are trying to buy some that aren't available in aus????

To hell with Nintendo Land, get Captain Toad Treasure Tracker!

Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright distracted my MH4 progress. Sad to say I'm only on the last mission of the village 2 star quests.

To me it seems likely that this would fill the space of a Love Letter or similar type game. If people enjoy it good for them, but it seems too Munchkin like for me. And I fucking loathe Munchkin.

Of course people can spend their money however they. People typically have a finate amount of disposoble income when it comes to things like boardgames I was just pointing out a few alternatives. I would be genuinely interested in and look forward to post game reports from anyone who backed Exploding Kittens when they get their copies but it looks to me like a game that will outstay it's welcome pretty quickly. I'll leave it there.

 

[Dryk]

Can we at least all agree that party games as a whole have improved over the last few decades along with the rest of board games.

 

[Deeku]

what if you spent $50 on amiibos instead

yo jint, was persona q semi decent? looked at a few pages of the OT and you seemed to have played the shit out of of it. worth it?

 

[bodyboarder]

will do

Check your PayPal receipt even though it says $229 it should say in the break down X amount discount.

WiiU is all exclusive games, 3rd party support is basically dead.

 

[Bernbaum]

Imma wait until playing 3D World before considering treasure tracker in case it's my least favourite thing, but it looks charming as fuck so that's unlikely. It'll be EOFY sale time before I get any new WiiU games at the rate I finish games anyway.

Heh I was thinking about doing something like this, there needs to be one where it's just an avalanche of those rejection tones.

 

[Jintor]

yo i haven't even figured out to send postcards back to my family first lol. wait a tick alright

it's probably really easy i just haven't gotten around to it

yo jint, was persona q semi decent? looked at a few pages of the OT and you seemed to have played the shit out of of it. worth it?

it really depends how much you like persona. and grinding. mostly grinding. i don't particularly like grinding but i love persona so it averaged out to 'it was okay'. By about two thirds of the way through though I said fuck it and just started spamming insta-kill spells like crazy.

soundtrack is godlike though

 

[hamchan]

I'm only like a quarter way through Persona Q and I've already started spamming Naoto Mahama and Mamudo spells. Makes the game easy mode for sure.

 

[Benzychenz]

EB Games put some amiibo's I'd skipped back up and now I'm $90 poorer.

God damn it.

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

What a mess.

fuck you cunts let me buy the ones i want, give us actual stock.

 

[Pandemic]

Quick yet strange question...

I received a text message from this number: +371 2 7951509

The message said ''call me''. Oddly enough, I called it but said the number was disengaged.

Anyone know what it is?

I tried Googling it and got something rather concerning...

Message circulating via SMS, social media and email warns you not to return missed calls from numbers starting with +375 or +371 because you will be charged between $15 and $30 for each returned call and your contact list and financial information will be instantly stolen from your phone.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

 

[Bernbaum]

Looks like I've learned alot about Amiibos today.

What is gamergate?

 

[Fredescu]

How essential is Nintendo land?

It's worth the sub $10 you'll be able to find it for.

 

[Jintor]

Looks like I've learned alot about Amiibos today.

What is gamergate?

it's about ethics in game journalism

but actually it's about harassing women for no clear defined reason

 

[toastyToast]

Check your PayPal receipt even though it says $229 it should say in the break down X amount discount.

You're right. Looks like Target paid for the remainder after the discount to get it to that number.

 

[Fredescu]

What is gamergate?

A bunch of kids hate some woman because she had sex with a guy that didn't write a review about a free game she made.

Some other woman wrote about how gaming culture often does immature things. They hate her too.

Also Gone Home was about women, so they hate that.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Stores seem to have a ton of Japanese stock. Likely find what you want at Target/Kmart/EB/etc. Head in!

 

[EatChildren]

What is gamergate?

those annoying choke point barriers between new stages/worlds that are only unlocked after spending hours collecting X number of Y

 

[reptilescorpio]

Looks like I've learned alot about Amiibos today.

What is gamergate?

GamerGate is basically a bunch of arseholes who attack people who say negative things about gamers/gamergate/feminism.

It's quite clearly a hate group at this point, well beyond any half-realistic ideas or goals.

It's generated a lot of meme's for games media people to lol at too.

 

[BananaArnie]

I would rather just bath in wooden resource tokens.

+371 is the country code for Latvia.

Edit: Ah. Typhoons.

 

[senahorse]

Cat5 cyclone, it's going to do some major damage when it hits land.

 

[r1chard]

Shit. And it's tracking straight for my mum's house

I hope everyone up there will be OK.

 

[industrian]

The rain and wind has literally started in the last ten minutes.

Time to close the windows.
