You should work your way backwards through them. The recent couple of episodes have been great.

They've confirmed they're bringing the HD assets to the PC version. They just have to fix the performance issues first.

They have confirmed the HD assets but who knows if we will actually get them after this clusterfuck.

I guess in a way it was a steam purchase and by the time i actually get around to playing it, They should have fixed the issues, released the HD assets and put out a sequel.

Don't know if it will mean much, but the Federal Government orders review of classification system amid R18+ video game debate

THE Federal Government has ordered a wide-ranging review of media classifications as a row over access to adult video games continues.

Attorney-General Robert McClelland, announcing the review today, said advances in technology meant the whole system of classification needed to be considered.

The draft terms of reference for the year-long Australian Law Reform Commission review suggest the classification categories themselves may be changed.

The review is set to look at a host of issues including the impact of classifications on the community and the Government's desire for a strong content and distribution industry.

Home Affairs Minister Brendan O'Connor said when the classification scheme began, content and the way it was delivered to consumers was relatively static.

"Today, films can be watched in a cinema, on DVD, on TV or downloaded," he said.

"Many video games include significant film segments to tell stories, and some films have interactive content."

Comments on the terms of reference will be taken until January 28, 2011 with a full report from the commission due on December 9.

The review has been announced in the midst of a continuing debate about legalising the sale of violent video games previously unavailable in retail outlets.

A meeting of the country's attorneys-general in Canberra earlier this month failed to endorse an R18+ classification for games.

Mr O'Connor also today announced a shake-up of the Classification Board, with the introduction of a new deputy director, senior classifier and five new members.

"From early next year, the Classification Board will undergo a period of renewal," Mr O'Connor said.

"Refreshing the board is a healthy thing for classification decision-making in this country.

"The board now has an age range from 25 to 72, a variety of personal and professional backgrounds and representation from every state."

Note that while I have fixed the E, that I am still MAYBE going to do more with the .GIF.

I think it'd be cool if he starts throwing money at the computer, with his expression slowly changing from :D to breaking down into tears as he throws more and more money at steam, finishing off with him just lying on the floor crying.

But whatever!

What the hell. I'm getting told my net is down at home and has been for hours. My modem supports adsl2 so i should be fine with a basic adsl1 speed increase / line upgrade.

Now i wanna go home and diagnose the issue. Boo work

Nice gif, Kritz! Of course, I'm avoiding the Steam (and all other) sales right now because I need to save money.
It sucks so much ;_;

Also, work is so boring when you're just waiting for the clock to run down.

Tell me about it.

No-one here is doing anything. This has been a long week of pub lunches, binging on christmas lollies and games of pool. I left my PSP in my other bag, and have nothing to do.

Bam, there it is.

Dunno how I feel about the second part, to be honest. It's alright, but I don't think it expresses the guy as well as I wanted it to.

I think he should get his wallet out, have it zoom in showing notes and what not, then it all flys out on the floor then gets sucked up

I'm pretty fucking impressed with that! Nice one.

PS. I didn't realise that the guy who did the animations in AusGAF was the same guy who had the Minecraft avatar. Stop changing around, damnit! :lol

Nothing again on steam today. I really want to see darksiders for under $10. If need for speed gets a sweet price drop I will bite but I can't see that happening.

So far $16 spent. If I had known about the oddbox issues then it would have only been $4 for super meat boy.

I was going to buy AC2, until I remembered I'm already halfway through on the 360. >_<

Trails looks OK, but won't bother with it. Everything else I already own, or is a bad game. Or in the case of Spore, both!

AC2 is really tempting, but I think I'll wait until I can get it for sub-$10.

Plus, I've played that and i haven't touched Brotherhood yet.

I can't support the AC2 DRM bullshit. I would buy it in a snap if it didn't have DRM for $15. Having said that though, there's always a chance that brotherhood might end up on the PC so it might be worth waiting a little bit longer. Maybe it will be $5 next steam xmas sale :lol

Railworks and AC2 for me. I've caught the Minecraft bug though so I probably won't play them for a while.
Click to expand...

I am tempted by railworks just to have a laugh. But shame on you for AC2 fred!! Well not really :D

Good chance the minecraft bug will go after a few days. That's what happened to me anyway. Maybe playing on kritz's server is more enjoyable which i haven't done yet.

Railworks needs MP. Would be an awesome ausgaf night.

It's not even my first Ubi DRM game! I got Settlers 7 a while back. Cool game by the way.

Yeah I'm not sure how long the Minecraft bug will last, but I was having fun working on Syths shaft last night.
