Indeed. probably going to have to send a lot more PMs around for stuff like that.

We could overcome that with the email tag. Quote my post to see what I mean.

Speaking of upgrading to an HDTV, Dick Smith have some rad prices on Sony LCDs at the moment.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up. I used this to finally convince my folks to upgrade their old CRT. They've always liked my various LCD's and Plasma's but never gotten one of their own, until now.

For fuck's sake. Conan pushed back one extra night for no reason.

Guys, a question, more directed to those who own a website or are familiar with Australia copyright laws:

I just realized I have no sort of copyright protection for my website. In Australia, do you immediately own the rights of work you created or is there someplace I must register to ensure my site isn't stolen?

I don't even have a (c) thingy in the footer of my site...

One part of that article makes it sound like it's a one-off, another makes it sound like it will always be Wed-Sat. What the fuck?

PS. Do what you have to do, Gaz... it was pretty fucking good! Real Late Night vibe to it.

Then join us in the Conan OT if you like!

You own it. You made it, you own copyright by default until you expressly waive those rights.

It's considered best practice to add some form of copyright information somewhere on your site, just so if push comes to shove you can say that you established your claim on the work from the outset.

Cheers. Just one other question. If I were to put "copyright 2010..." in my footer, would I put "copyright 2010 <my name>" or "copyright 2010 <website name>"? Or doesn't it matter?

Awesome. Channel 9/GEM fucked up the Conan premiere and pushed it back to tomorrow night, with no explanation other than changing their ads at the last minute to say "premieres Wednesday"

Put your name, it makes it clearer.

Just for reference, I put at the bottom of every comic I do " (c) [MY NAME] [MY EMAIL]" because ...e to copy and paste and hotlink that image :)

Black ops is kinda good

I picked up the new X360 control with the improved dpad

much better then the old one

shame its $99 as it comes with a play and charge. It's ok because i didnt have a PandC before but for those who do its a bit crap

 

[Omikron]

Is it any better than the previous 'n' editions though?

Anything works as a formal statement of copyright. The Attorney-General's Department site on copyright suggests "This work is copyright. Apart from any use permitted under the Copyright Act 1968, no part may be reproduced by any process, nor may any other exclusive right be exercised, without the permission of (name and address of copyright owner and the year in which the work was made)." The copyright symbol was more legally recognised in the past but it's still useful for drawing attentiont to your copyright ownsership.

The tricky part of copyright law is proving ownership and as someone producing a website, the best way you can protect your copyright is to keep dated versions or similar that could be produced to prove that the work is yours. That said, it's hard at the best of times to enforce copyright, especially when it comes to works distributed internationally via the internet.

And then you come across douchebags who think the whole Internet is up for grabs.

$99 for an Xbox controller is like, the greatest rip off in history. Well, probably not, since the rest of the 360 accessories are also the greatest rip off in history.

 

[Choc]

i can claim it on tax so meh

 

[Danoss]

In that pack, the play and charge kit should be included for free. The battery life of the pre-packed batteries is so poor, it may as well be plugged in all the time.

Just wait for it to come up on Play Asia or the UK sites, will be a more reasonable price. My controllers are still in decent shape but I wouldn't mind a decent d-pad to go back and finish Castlevania SotN.

Edit: Apparently it's not even that great anyway. I might just buy a cheap Madcatz Fightpad for my SotN needs. Would probably be good for Tekken as well.

 

[Stackboy]

I'm ok with Conan being on tonight, as long as it is the first episode.

 

[BanShunsaku]

So I just bought a copy of Two Worlds II

I should clarify, I'm excited because I love RPGs and I don't think its coming out here until next year.

 

[Mar]

Mar if your fort needs some crenellations then you can have that Bayonetta gun, I'm just going to chuck it otherwise. Anybody want the Vanquish figurine?

Sold. How do we physically exchange goods?

Also grats Fred. Other stuff.

Been on training all this week hardly any time for interwebs. Back to reality soon. End, cryptic post.

Is that with the twisty d-pad and chrome bits?

 

[codswallop]

Does it take regular batteries? And how's the rest of the pad compare to the regular one?

Edit: Wait you can only get the Play and Charge Kit? Bah.

 

[Choc]

yes it can take regular batteries if you wish

the pad feels very quality

only weird thing is the face buttons no longer have colours

and yes its the twisty dpad

 

[Agyar]

I'm reading the d-pad is still fairly shitty, hits the edge and doesn't register diagnals consistently. Have you tried playing an arcade game/fighter with it and comparing to the old pad?

 

[codswallop]

I'm mostly interested in it as a replacement controller anyway. I don't care if the d-pad is good, though "better" would be nice. I'm more interested in the analogue sticks anyway.

Odd that the buttons are monochrome now, as many games have images of the buttons on-screen (i.e. quicktime events, tutorials and such).

It certainly does. That's what i was asking VOOK about a few weeks back. Only $50 at bigw, not bad!

 

[BanShunsaku]

For those interested, I bought my copy of Two Worlds II from gamersgate for about $50, will download when I get home tonight.

Thought it was worth mentioning as it is not on Steam and won't be in stores here til next year.

 

[trinest]

This is why I didn't want you to find out- your crazy!

 

[Stackboy]

I think I can do without an annual COD.

 

[Bernbaum]

DSE's $184 for Kinect with Kinect Adventures is almost worth it just to check it out, although I'd be happier with Dance Central. Adventures might be the best showcase for what the tech can and can't do.

I still think it's kinda dumb.

 

[rass]

Anybody here into photography? I accidentally 2 copies of The Moment it Clicks by Joe McNally, you can have my extra copy for $30.

I think I can do without an annual COD.

me also. I burned out on MW2 pretty bad haha

Can someone tell me where the red Wii will be cheapest? Is it going to be exactly $298 everywhere that's selling it or might I get it a little cheaper at Big W or something? I'm buying the shit out of it. Also, what good Wii games have come out in the past… year? Maybe even longer. Can someone put up a list of their favourite Wii games? I'm going Wii crazy here.

 

[VOOK]

Red Wii is $268 at Big W, you'd be crazy not to get it.

 

[Stackboy]

me also. I burned out on MW2 pretty bad haha

I have Halo:Reach to keep me entertained for a year as well.

 

[Agyar]

Started playing Kane and Lynch 2 last night (albeit only for ten minutes or so). It's amazing how rudimentary character animation and performance is after completing Enslaved. Like Uncharted 2, Enslaved really sets the bar for character animation, voice work and the performance capture that ties it all together. The models in K&L2 look stiff and robotic by comparison and the lip sync barely keeps in time with the dialogue. This is not to say K&L2 fails in this entirely, just that games like Uncharted 2 and Enslaved really show up the gap.

 

[endlessflood]

How much for the figure?

Free to a good home. I'm in inner western Sydney (near Norton St) and TBH I'd be happier to arrange pick up or drop off since the Norton St post office is a bit of a shitfight. Could even arrange to do it at Vintage Cellars seeing as that's where the GAF alcoholics seem to get their liquor lol

 

[rass]

Sold. I'll see if I can buy it tomorrow, I don't like my odds though. Or if I do buy it I'll have to stuff it in the closet so my gf doesn't see for a week or so haha

I have Halo:Reach to keep me entertained for a year as well.

I think I might have burnt out on fps' in general. I have 2d sidescroller fever, and the cure is Mario related.

Figuring out which liquor store to trade video game action figures at. #firstworldproblems

You're inner west right? If you want the Vanquish figure as well that makes life easy for me. Send me a PM and we'll work it out.

lol @ agyar

Any Apple Developers here? The more I read about selling apps the more discouraged I get. From Whirlpool:

You must register with the ATO to be able to charge GST.

You must pay tax either way on your business income.

You income is assessable in Australia regardless of where it is sold as you are a taxpayer here.

No US Sales tax is payable as you are trading in aus.

You must report your income is Australian dollars.

Contact your tax agent and the ATO for more info

Hope this doesn't apply for individual developer...

It's a great time to have 2D fever with Mario, Kirby, Sonic and Donkey Kong all getting amazing releases this year.

 

[BanShunsaku]

I really need to head back to Vintage Cellars soon, I have a Cellar Share burning a hole in my wallet

I think I'm going to splurge and buy a bottle of this
